William Ferguson Mas-
sey, who for th,e last seven years has
been Prim.e Minister of New Zeala.nd
and. Minister of Lands and Labor
since 1912. He was not at liberty to
discuss What was done and said at
the session of the Cabinet and at the
Imperial War Conference recently in
London, but he had something defi-
nite to say to the New York Times
about the recent speech by Dr. Solf,
German Minister' for the Colonies
(although Germany has no such pos-
sessions), who put the colonial aiin
at the very 'forefront of German
war aims.
"Dr. So lf was once governor of the
Samoa Islands," Premier Massey ob-
served, "and we know something
about him in New Zealand. It is in-
teresting to recall a remark he
made just after this war • began.
When something was said to him
about the loss of Germany's col-
onies he said, in effect: It is Great
Britain's turn to -day. When peace
comes it will be our turn. Then we
shall not be satisfied merely with the
return to us of all our colonies, but
we shall demand and take some of
those now in Great Britain's pos-
session?

"Fruit-a-tives" is certainly a wonder.
For a year, I suffered with Rheuma-

for five months. I tried all kinds of
medicine but without getting better;
and thought I would never be able
to walk again.
"One day while lying in bed, I read
above 'Fruit-a-tives' the great fruit
medicine; and it seemed just what I
needed, so I decided to try it. '

An Epitaph.
The following quaint epitaph was
written by a maid -of -all -work:
"Here lies a poor woman who always
was tired,
Who lived in a house where no help
was hired.
Her last words on earth were: "Dear
friends, I am. going
Where there won't be 310 serubbing,
nor sweepine,,,n nor sewing.
evbrything tffere is exact to my
wishes.
For where there's no eating there's
no washing dishes.
I'll be where _loud anthems is always
a ringing,
But as I've no voice I'm clear of the
singing.
Don't mourn a for me now, don't
mourn for me never,
For I'm going to do nothing for ever
and ever."
The lines were written by Cathe-
rine .Allsop, a Salseffield, Eng., washer-
woman-, who hanged herself on a
piece of clothesline on July 31, 1905.
At the inquest the lines written by
her on a piece of old brown. paper
were read to the jue-y, whose verdict
was suicide daring temporary in-
sanity.

The Youth of To -day.
The new curate was on his first
visit and was being entertained by
the youngest boy. Seeing some exer-
cise books on the table, the curate
started the conversation with: "Well,
are yen/going to school now?" "Of
course, -I am," sneered the child.
"Why shouldn't I? I'm over six."
"And do you ltree your teacher?"
"My eye, no! That old hen's‘much
too old for me!"

A French girl at a "Y" the other
