tion. The news was paralyzing, in-
. credible, impossible, and yet it v.rae
true.
"Sir Charles keel fall," Mr.
Justin McCarthy wrote a ,few montlia
later, "is like that of tower. He
stood high above any rising English
I statesman; and but for what has
_ z happened he must Lave been Prime
- Minister after Gladstone." There
was, indeed, no more brilliant
and promising statesman of hU
day. From Ms first entry into the
House of Commons lie had been
marked for a great career. He was a
born political leader, a speaker and
debater of rare kill, and he had a
knowledge of foreign affairs unap-
proached by any other man at West-
minster. He had achieved European
fame; and, to fill his cup of succeze
and happiness, he was about to
marry a woman of singular sweet•
nos s and charm, whom he loved, and
who loved him with a rare tender-
ness and passion—Mrs. Mark Patti -
eon, widow of the rector of Lincoln
College. And it was at this supremo
hour of his triumph that the blow
fell—a "thunderbolt" from a sky of •
unbroken. blue—whieh hurlcd him
from his pedestal to the dust.
On the evening of July 18th, I8V7a
Sir Charles had returned froni a din-
ner given by the Reform Club, a
which he was the guest of honor, to
find awaiting him a letter from an
)id friend who asked him to call on
be following morning on "grave
ausniess." And it was at this inter-
.-iew that he learned that the wife of
Libi'ral meniber of Parliament heal
eolunteered a confession to her bus-
_
hand that she had been unfaithful to
'aim with Sir Charles Dilke imined-
ately after her marriage.
This was the terrible accusation
hat he was so suddenly called upon
to face—a charge which, if it could
be proved, recant irretrievable ruin
and disgrace, at the very zenith of
ais career and promise.
Terrible as the position was in
;latch Dliko foundhimself, he faced
t with characteristic calmness and
ourage. There was still a hope,
owever slight, that the scandal
light be kept from public know -
edge; but within a few days this
ope was dashed to the ground when
.o learned th.,t. legal proceedings
-ere to be t l n.
To Mrs. Pattison, at whose feet he
adee gleale end jaoudly laid as
;.ribute his grea:, rosition in the
world, he wrote in this dark hour,
when his career wes in such dire
peril: "I feel Intiauy kill you—
and it will kill me, either if it kills
you or if you don't believe me."
This was indeed by far the bitter-
est drop in his cup of suffering. His
trust was not misplaced. Mrs. Patti-
son from her bed of sickness at once
cabled a message of absolute trust in
him and unquestioning faith in his
complete innocence. And that the
world might have no doubt of her
loyalty, she also cabled to The Times
an announcement of her engage-
ment. Well might Lord Granville
write to Dilke, "I wish you joy most
sincerely. The announcement says

What the future will bring forth in the
way of invention, no living person could
even conjecture. With long distance tele-
phone, wireless telegraphy, electric power,
transmitted many miles from its source,
railways and electric cars speeding their
way through tunnels under rivers, and
beneath populous cities, one may well ask
—what next? It begins to look as
though the problem of aerial navigation
may yet be solved. Passenger traffic
through the air does not look more im-
1 possible now, than wireless telegraphy or
long distance telephoning did a few years
ago. We are so accustomed to wonder-
ful advancement along all lines, that we
almost cease to wonder, as each new
phase of development is announced If,

The Dominion Bank is now located on
the corner, in Mason's Block, where
premises have been especially fitted up
t for the purpose. The entrance is from
Josephine street by massive oak doors in-
t to the vestibule, from which a plate glass
door admits the customers to the business
istry before the great case came on
for hearing; and thus was unable room, separated from the public entrance
to offer a place in it to a man who,
however • distinguished, was still
under the shadow of so serious a
charge. At the trial the charge
against Sir Charles was dismissed
with costs, the judge saying express-
ly that there was no case for him to
answer.
Immediately there arose a virulent
campaign against him by a section of
the press. A scathing and pitiless at-
tack was made on him by Mr. Stead,
in the Pall Mall, in which allega-
tions of a most serious nature were
put forward.
Never was a mote pitiless and un-
scrupulous campaign directed against
any man. Not only in the press were
horrible charges of immorality more
than suggested against him; the
tongue of scandal gave them definite
and circumstantial form—stories of
the betrayal of innocence, or orgies
almost rivaling those of that ducal
roue, Philippe of Orleans; and this
torrent of unspeakable scandal Sir
Charles was powerless to stem. The
court had indeed dismissed him from
the case "without a stain on hie
character," but, on. the advice of his
counsel, advice which was supported
by the judge, he had not gone into
:he witness -ibex to submit himself to
ross-examination; and it was this
trpicious shrinking from "the
ell c" that opened the flood -gates of
unity,
'fo the clamor that he should retire
'rem Parliament, he wrote in his
^'Jry: "Renewed attempt to dismiss

These are immediately answered by the

Such communications as the president
ought to see are clearly briefed—that
is, a slip is pinned at the top of each
letter, and ou this is a typewritten
synopsis of its contents, telling who the
writer is and what he has to present.
Frequently the president is sufficiently
interested by the brief to cause him to
read the whole letter. Sometimes the
sommunication is referred to a cabinet
officer, in wbicb me the slip is retain-
ed at the White House and filed.
Requests for charity are continually
pouring in. These, however, aro sent
to a different department, which goes
ferny into each case before replying.
When a large number of persons write
on the same subject the letters are
bunched, and the brief at the top gives
the names of those who present ono

the names of the persons who offer a

Origin of oBudstikken," Which Means
Spreading the News.
This peculiar word is frequently found
in Scandinavian communities as the
name of a newspaper, such as St.
Cloud Budstikken. It is a Norwegiau
word, 1,200 years old at the least and
has a very peculiar origin.
In those days when the coasts of Nor-
way were ravaged by pirates the in-
habitants had to resort to all sorts of
devices to waru those at a distance of
the approach of these piratical craft.
When one was seen on the horizon a
man went up to the top of a mountain,
where he lighted a beacon fire. This
could be seen for a lofig distance and
was known to be a warning. When it
was seen in the distance another fire
was lighted on another hill until all
over the country fires blazed from ev-
ery hilltop aud the people prepared to
defend themselves.
They also had a system of messen-
gers. The man who first sighted the
sail would take an arrow and send it
to his neighbors. From town to town
this arrow was sent until all were
warned. These were rather primitive
ways of telegraphing, but were so ef-
fectual that in the course of twenty-
four Lours all Norway knew of the ap-
proach of pirates.
This system of spreading the news
was called "buclstikken," and when
there were no more pirates the news-
ImPers became spreaders of the news
iuid so were appropriately styled "bud-
tikken."—Exchange.

Man and tho Animals.
The essential difference between
men and animals is well stated by Dr.
Grasset, an eminent French biologist,
quoted by the Scientific American. He
says the animal is predestined to obey
the laws of .its species, while man
beys them only if and when he will.
A. man may, if lie wants to, sustain
with energy the pretension that two
and two make five, or he may commit
suicide.
Quicksands.
Quicksands are not caused by water
constantly flowing over sand, It is only
where there is au upward Current that
they aro found. Imagist°, for instance,
a bucket filled with sand. Water poured
on that sand does not make it "quick."
If, however, the bucket had a hole in its
bottom and water was forced through
the hole quicksands would be formed.

The Ford Saves the Hay and Oats
the Horses Eat
IT HAS been estimated that five acres of land are required to maintain
one horse for a year, and that the same five acres would produce
nearly enough food for two people. If 50,000 Canadian farmers each
replaced one horse with a Ford, 250,000 acres would be added to the
Nation's source of food supply and enough extra food made available to
feed 100,000 people.
Just think what a great service this means to the country at the present
time and the benefit to the farmers from the sale of food produced on
this acreage.
A Ford car also saves the farmer a week or more of valuable time each
year, which can be used for furtherproductive work. The Ford travels
three times as fast as a horse and rig—costs less to run and keep, and is
far easier to take care of. With labor so scarce and high priced, time
means money, so do not delay in getting your Ford.

SCOT ADDRESSES KAISER
Cursed be yer ugly Prussian face,
Worst savage o' the human race,
Soon may some missile end your pace,
Baith sure and sudden;
Soon may your carcass find a place,
On some French midden.
For years on' years ye've been preparin*
For yer unholy murderin' erran'
But, Kaiser Bill. y.e'll get yer fairin'
As sure as death;
And glorywaits the father's bairn
Who stops yer breath.
Oh! if some Scotsman's God -sped bullett
Wad in yer black heart find its billet,
I'd laud wi' joy that Scot and pellet,
In twa 'r three verses.
I'd like tae tan yer hide and sell it.
Juist like a horse's
Since first we marched wi' flags unfurled,
Wi' your black moustache upward curled,
Millions 0' men tae death ye've hurled
In yer mad campaign;
Ye "would be" KAISER o' the WORLD,
Yer march was vain.
Ye went tae Belgian territory,
And killed wee bairns, and the hoary,
And butchered women tae get glory
For yer ain sel';
Yer pathway thro' that land was gory,
Ye gave them hell
Incarnate find in human guide,
Ye surely got a great surprise,
When ye saw ye cudna "KAISERIZE"
The Land of France;
BRITANNIA'S jolt between the eyes
Stopt your advance.
Twa year an' mair afore yestreen,
Yer plans were laid an' a' foreseen
Tae mass brass bands on Glesca' Green,
Or Kelvinside;
Yer band's first tune was tae have been
"Wacht on the Clyde."
Yer Prussian program carne tae nil,
But as sure's yer name's KAISER BILL,
The Highlan' Pipers surely will
Play in Berlin;
Or ye may hear them by God's will
In St. Helene.
Oh! "Holy Willie" ower the Rhine,
DUTCH POTENTATE. by "RIGHT
DIVINE"
Like Stewart Kings o' "Auld Lang Syne,"
Yer doom is booked;
Ahl KAISER BILL, last o' yer line,
Yer goose is tooked.
When peace will come 'twill end your
caste,
End Royal rule, unjust, unchaste,
Justice will sweep you oot as waste,
Ye and yer breed;
But ye'll be the first oae tae be placed
On midden heid,
Gol-dang ye, KAISER, foulest HUN,
When I think o' a' the ill ye've done,
Ye should be placed begun a gun,
An' blawn tae hell;
For there's nocht else that could be done,
Would suit as well.
Ye and yer Princling generation
Are a black blot on civilization.
Yer jUiat the worst abomination
Beneath the Sun;
The vilest name in a' ereatioti,
