HOLIDAY WASTE
Our Canadian climate is favorable
for study every month in the year.
Tor this reason Shaw's Eleven Busi-
mess Schools in Toronto are always
+open from January to December.
Summer sessions are popular in these
.clays. Universities are now doing
work in tithe summer months. Our
High Schools should also be used.
'Three months holidays are not need-
sted. Why this waste.
'TIS SWEET TO LIVE
'Tis sweet to live;
To see anemones in Spring,
Flash of a bluebird's wing';
'To hear at dawn of day
The lark's blithe roundelay;
'To labor happily in the sun
And rest content, the day's work done;
'To revel in the beauty of a tree
And hearken to its topmost melody;
'To wander idly in a wooded glade
'Where sweet the silence and perfumed
the shade;
To stand at ev'n on a hill -top high,
And watch the glory of a sun -swept
sy;
'To think long thoughts (come quiet
winter days)
On God, who e'er doth mind of man
amaze;
Oh Life, because thou dost me give
Such Loveliness—'tis sweet to live!
ELLA H. ECKEL.
NO MEDICINE LIKE
BABY'S OWN TABLETS
Tor Either the Newborn Babe or
the Growing Child.
There is no other medicine to equal
Baby's Own Tablets for little ones-
-whether it be for the newborn babe
+or the growing child the Tablets
always do good. They are absolutely
free from opiates or erther harmful
drugs and the mother can always feel
;safe in using them.
Concerning the Tablets, Mrs. John
Armour, R. R. 1, South Monaghan,
Ont.. says: -"We have three fine
!heal't`hy children, to whom, when a
medicine is needed, we have given
.only Baby's Own Tablets. The Tab-
lets are the hest medicine you can
keep in any home where there are
young children."
Baby's Own Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative which regulate the
stomach and bowels; banish constipa-
tion and indigestion; break up colds
and simple fever and make teething
easy. They are sold by medicine
dealers or direct by mail at 25 cents

DISTINGUISHED MEN REJECTED
BY CLUBS
They form a very distinguished list,
those men who during the last hun-
elred years have been rejected by
;clubs for which they were duly pro -
yawed and seconded, says a writer
in T.P.'s Weekly. Novelists, whose
'works are now of classical perman-
ence, poets, artists, statesmen and
-philanthropists have been the object
.of the petty spite of the crank and
the insane jealousy of mediocrities
goosing as their rivals. When Thack-
eray's name was first submitted to
the Athenaeum Committee in 1850 fer
.Election under the rule which provides
for "the annual election, without re-
eourse to ballot, of a limited number
.of persons of distinguished eminence
in science, literature, art, or the pub -
Wrigley's, you are
getting benefit as
well.
lic services," one member voted a-
gainst him, and as unanimity was
necessary he was rejected.
Thackeray, good-humoredly accept-
ed the rebuff. Writing to Abraham
Hayward, he said: "I was quite pre-
pared for the issue of the kind effort
made at the Athenaeum in my behalf;
indeed, as a satirical writer, I rather
wonder that I have not made more
enemies than I have, I don't mean
enemies in a bad sense, but men con-
scientiously opposed to my style, art,
(pinions, impertinences, and so forth.
There must be thousands of men to
whom the practice of ridicule must
be very offensive; doesn't one see such
in society, or in one's own family?—
persons whose nature was not gifted
with a sense of humor. Such a man
would be wrong not to give me a
blackball, or whatever it is called—a
negatory nod of his honest, respect-
able, stupid old head. And I submit
to his verdict without the slighteEt
feeling of animosity against my
judge." A year later Thackeray was
elected, and amongst the glories and
boasts of the Athenaeum Club to -day
is that he wrote part of "Esmond" in
its library.
Thackeray, however, was not averse
from doing a little blackballing. There
was an illiterate merchant of the
name of Hill who had the misfortune
to be blackballed for the Garrick with
an animosity which was almost fer-
ocious.
"You might have let him down more
lightly," someone said to Thackeray.
"My dear fellow," said the great
Novelist, with a laugh, "I 'pilled' him
because he is a liar—he's al -ways say-
ing he's 'ill' when he isn't.
Nowadays, however, club life is sel-
dom disturbed by a sensational black-
balling, the custom being to give a
strong hint to any candidate whose
election is doubtful that he had better
withdraw, and in this way trouble is
avoided. But a hundred years ago.
when membership of certain clubs
definitely established a man's position
in society, it was not unusual for a
candidate to come forward time after
time undismayed by previous black-
ballings, while his friends canvassed
openly for him by methods suggestive
of a parliamentary contest.
That almost forgotten wit, George
Selwyn, formed a cabal in Brooks'
('lub with the sole object of prevent-
ing the election of Richard Brinsley
Sheridan. Every time the author of
"The School for Scandal" was pro-
posed, Selwyn or Lord Bessborough
was there to put in the fatal black-
ball, and it was not until Sheridan
one night lured both the peer and the
wit away from the club premises that
he secured the coveted membership.
In an age when actors are fashion-
able and influential, and when we see
nothing unusual about their inclusion
in a royal or aristocratic house -party,
it seems almost comic that Selwyn
and company should have objected
to Sheridan solely because he had
The Reform Cluh figured in a black-
balling affair which may be said to
have made history. When Mr. Joseph
Chamberlain, whose statute was un-
veiled the other day by the Eearl of
Balfour, was very prominent in the
_councils of the Liberal party, he pro-
posed his brother for membership of
the club.
With such powerful hacking, it was
thought that the candidate could not
fail, but the unexpected happened,
and Mr. Chamberlain VTR so annoyed
that he immediately resigned. Tt
may have been that he was already
more than half -way in the direction
of the Unionists, but the action of the
club must have helped considerably
to enhance in his eyes the attractions
of the party to which he was then op-
posed. But powerful backing is not
necessarily a guarantee of victim.
Wlhen Cecil Rhodes came up for elec-
tion at the Travellers' Club in Janu-
ary, 1895, his sponsors included men
whose support seemed to make suc-
cess a certainty. Rhodes, however,
was black -balled, and consoled by the
reflection that the reason for his re-
jection was political and not personal,
had the satisfaction of being elected
to the Athenaeum two months later.
Even the Prince of Wales, who after-
wards became King Edward VII, could
not overcome, on at least one occasion,
the disinclination of the members of
the Marlborough Club to the society
of one of his friends.
The alarm clock has done as much
for the rising generation as any other
agency. --Stratford Beacon -Herald.
