Wide brooks of jin tizzies on every hand; Great likes of cold Rhine wine, And the pumps spouting cocktails to beat the band For the thirsty ones standing in line. Creme de Menthe swamps of a beautiful green And islands of fine cracked ice; Such a sight before never was seen Ah! but that dream was nice. Mint Julips in puddles filled the streets, And the gutters were running with booze, Where the tired hobos soaked their feet When enjoying a heavenly snooze. Champagne flowed from fire plugs In bubbly streams, with a hiss; And the street cleaners drank it from,deep atone jugs, Ala! what a dream of bliss. Hillballs galore rolled about on the ground And were chased by the thirsty orowd And the ;paralized grafters standing around, In their 'midnight glee, shouted aloud. Ah! . this bibulous dream was a happy dreaib, The result of an all-night bat,. When the wet things Sowed in a bountiful stream, And they carried me home on a slat. Wm. B.

CURATE, IN LOVE, KNIT FIRST, SILK INGS The love of a poor Nottinghamshire curate for a certain. yoirng woman` wbd could not afford to atop knitting: her woollen stockings to listen to his. love -making was responsible for the introduction of the stocking frame. The curate, whose name was Wil- liam Lee, immediately set Ms with' to work to solve the difficulty, and in 1689 he invented his stocking -frame. He removed to London, and Queen Elizabeth saw his ingenious 'inven- tion, which could also be used, and. was need later, for the first time in ,4t.,,161 manufacture of silk stockings he Queen, however, refuse to ant this enterprising clergyman a patent for hie invention. She profeased too great a love for her subjects who 'earned their daily bread in .theold-fashioned manner of hand -knitting; and goticluded her ob- jection by remarking that "to enjoy SPREADER COSTS $28 A YEAR ' Very few farm machines have a greater annual depreciation then the manure spreader. The annual de- preciation is 10.25 per cent. a year. With. a $200 spreader this amounts to 620.60 a year. The annual cost consists of this depreciation and in- terest on the average investment, amounting at six per cent. to $6, also instjrance, housing and repairs, about one per cent. of the original value of the spreader, or about $2 a year. This makes an annual cost of $28.60. If a farmer has 20 acres to cover every year with manure, the spreader cost per acre would be $1.43. If he spreads the manure at the rate of 10 loads an acre the spreader cost per spreader instead of covering 20 acreal a year could be used for covering 40 acres, the per load and per acre cost would be reduced materially. There are, of course, other features to be considered in purchasing a spreader, the moat important of which is perhaps that manure appli- ed with a spreader goes farther and as a rule gives better results than when spread by hand. The cost of machine spreading is of course less than hand spreading, and the work of handling the manure with the spreader is much easier. For removing rusted screws from metal a screwdriver has been invent- ed that is operated by a ratchet in a handle extending to one side at an angle to afford leverage.

In Canada and Britain; occasionally does produce genuine progressives, and usually. does contain some forward looking The chief symptom of rheumatism is pain. The moat successful treat- ment is the one that most quickly re- lieves and banishes the pain. Many rheumatic people suffer pains that could be avoided by building up the blood; when rheumatism is associated' with thin blood it cannot be corrected until the blood is built up. Mr. Ed. Hall, Main -a -Dieu, N. B., suffered from rheumatism for years, but was more fortunate than many victims of the disease For he found a remedy that so built np his entire system that he is now free from rheumatism. Mr. Hall says: "I was taken down with rheumatism, and at times was under the treatment of several' of the best doctors in Cape Breton, but they held out no 'hope for my recovery from the trouble. " I was confined to bed for three years and a helpless cripple from the trouble. I could not move, and had to be turned in sheets. My legs and fingers were dra*ti out of shape, and sores devel- oped onfluffy body as the result of my long. confinement to bed. I Was in this serious condition when a friend advised: the use of Dr. Williams'. Pink Pills and I began taking th m. The �st..benefit I felt from the iris was an improved appetite, and thlfi I be - `gen to feel stronger, and was finally able to get out of. bed and go about on crotches. I continued taking the pills for months, slowly but surely getting new strength, and finally I was able to lay the crutches aside. I will always be lame as' the result of my long stay in bed my left leg has shortened somewhat, ,but otherwise I am feeling fine and able to do my work as Fishery OOerseer. I may add that when the rheumatism came on I_weighed 140 pounds, and when I began going about on crutches I only weighed 67 pounds, and now I ani at normal weight. There are many here who know and can vouch for the truth of these statements." Yon can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by snail, post paid,. at 60 cents a box or six boxes dor $2,60• -from The Dr. ,Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. group. In Britain, there le always such a nucleus in the party. Lord Henry Bentlnek himself has often taken a generous view of domestic and social questions. More prominent still is Lord Robert Cecil. Despite occa- sional vi ws which sometimes appear narrow, is general outlook on life and polttf,,cs is essentially idealistic In the best sense. Lord Milner to a weird combination of rampalft Tory- ism in its generally accepted mean- ing, and of a mueh more enlightened and humane creed. The new Viscount Astor, formerly Major Vincent Waldorf Astor, is one of a number of "Young Tories" who have devoted themeelvee to social re - forma, earning a deep debt oI grati- tude from their countrymen. The outstanding example of the "Tory Radical" is Philip Kerr. This young Oxontan ls'the heir to a duke= dom, but before the war he used ntpch of his enormous influence, both inside the Tory party and without, towards policies of social readjust- ment arid regeneration. Since the war, as conAdential adviser'. to Lloyd George, his attention has been occu- pied almost entirely with foreign af- fairs, but 1t is hoped that, as times 'become normal again, he will resume his interests In domestic problems, too. All of which goes to show that, although Liberalism and Toryism, as represented in political parties bear- ing their names, go different paths and have different outlooks, there 1s, between them, a Balt -way land where their Ideals and their practices meet. It 1s probable also that the newer and more radical Labor party will have, if It ham not already, within Ito ranks men and inluences more Liberal and Tory than radical.
