GEN. SIR HENRY RAWLINSON.
Royal Rifles, and for the past thirty-'
four years has been in practically
every scrimmage where British sol-
diers were present. In passing, it is
to be *noted that Itawlinson entered
a foot regiment—most of the gen-
erals who have distinguished them-
selves in this war having been orig-
inally, with the cavalry branch. Raw-
linson first saw service as aide -de-'
camp to Roberts in India, and later,
served through the Burma cam-
paign, where he won a medal and
clasp. On the advice of Roberts, who'
held a very high opinion of his mili-
tary gifts, he returned to England in
1889 to enter the Staff College at
Camberley. After passing the diffi-
cult examinations he was transferred
into the Coldstream Guards. From
1894 to 1896 he was brigade major
at Aldershot, leaving this post to go
with Kitchener to the Soudan as
D.A.A.G.
We are informed by Cyril. Arthur
Player in the Detroit News that
Lord.Roberts regarded Rawlinson as
"the greatest military possibility of
his time." This opinion seems to
have been also entertained by Lord
Kitchener, who wrote of him: "Col.
Sir Henry Rawlinson' possesses the
qualities of a staff officer and a com-
mander in the field. His character-
istics will always ensure hirer a front
place in whatever he sets his mind
to." This verdict was endorsed by
Sir Douglas Haig, who, in reviewing
the Somme operations of 1916 wrote:
"Generals Sir Henry Rawlinson and
Sir Hubert Gough for live months
Controlled the operations of very
large forces in one Of the greatest, if
not absolutely the greatest, struggle
that has ever taken place. , tis im-
possible to speak too highly of the
great qualities displayed by these
commanders throughout the battle.
•Their thorough knowledge of the
roiession and their cool and pound
judgment, tact and deterMination
proved fully equal to every call on
them,"

The Men Never Stirred Their Coffee
In the Old Days,
Of course you remember in the
good old days when you went a -visit-
ing down to grandma's on the farm
how there were loads and loads of
good things to eat. Life was a real
joy then, with three meals a day, and
every one of them a feast. Moro than
likely the table was in the kitchen,
and liow big and lopg it was, almost
like a hotel table of those times, and
there was need of it being long, with;
,all the crowd ,to gather around it.
There was grandpa at ane end, and
grandma at the other, with the boys
lined up at the tables, and "'Lizbeth
Ann" and the "Raggedy Man," and
•the company from town,' and every-
body., -
There were mounds of "trashed"
potatoes and sweet ham and brown
gravy, and four kinds of preserves,
and—everything good. Midway in
this lavishness was a hflf-way sta-
tion where the sugar and spoonholder
stood. Of course, you remember the •
• spoons, old, thin, silver 'spoons, with
tiny tooth marks on thein, and in
faded script the initials, ""B.A.J." -
Betsy Ann Jones; that was grandma
before she married grandpa.
As for the sugar bowl, it wasn't
one of these latter-day skimpy recep-
tacles, with a cluster of fake "goose-
berries" hand -painted ,(?) on the
side, nor a. near -fern leaf cut in glass.
No, ma'am, it was a sugar bowl worth
having, as big as an urn or the cof-
fee pot, and how grandma and the
boys would scoop the sugar into their
cups! •"'Lizbeth Ann," as she wash-
ed the dishes, would grumble and
complain that "then men never stir -
reel their coffee."
A Caricature of Dickens.
TTie reproduction of a very rare
caricature portrait of Dickens ap-
peared in a recent issue of the Dick-
ensian. William Miller was the auth-
or of the portrait, which was advcrr-
tised for in vain by F. G. Kitton,
more than twenty years ago, for in-
sertion in, his book, "Charles Dickens
by Pen add Pencil," says the Chris-
tian Science Monitor. Dickens first
saw the portrait in question when
walking along Piecadflly with Dis-
raeli one day: He was vastly amused
and, entering the shop, bought sev-
eral copies, one of which was sent
to the Hon. Mrs. Richard Watson, at
Rockingham. In a letter written
from Cad's Hill place lie says: ""I
hope you may have seen a large -
headed photograph with little legs
representing the undersigned. It has
just sprung up so abundantly in all
the shops, that I am ashamed to go
about town looking in at the picture
windows, which is my delight. It
seems to me extraordinarily ludi-
crous and much more like than the
grave portrait done in earnest. It
made nee laugh when I first came up-
on it, until I shook again, in open,

How the Days Were Named.'
Considering the strength of the
superstition that 'Friday is an un-
iuclty day, it is surprising to know
how this reputation•carne about, Fri-
day got its name from J riga, the•sup-
posed mother of the gods,. who was
the goddess of peace, fertility and
riches. Not much fear of superstition
there, surely! Wednesday would
have been more likely of nuperstf,
tlous origin, • because that was the
name for the god Woden (or Odin),
supposed to be the father of the gods
of war. " The other day's? Sunday, of
course, was named after the sun;
Monday for the moon; Tuesday for
Tuisco; Thursday for the god Thor,
• the Roman Jupiter, and Saturday for
Saeter, the Roman Saturnus.—Spare
Moments.

"YOU DID"
It's good to wander back again,
Among the old home folks;
It rather satisfies a man
To Bear the same old jokes,
To hear somebody say, "I knew
You when you were a kid,"
But some one always tells you of
The foolish things you did.
"Your heart beats lighter, as it did
In long forgotten days,
When at some well remembered spot
Reflectively you gaze,
But it seems queer, that all your good
And noble deeds are hid;
And people only call in mind,
Tile foolish things you did.
They talk of others who've gone out
Into some foreign land,
They tell of things these other folks
I -lave done, and they seem grand,
But witetr it corns to talk of you
Their minds cannot be ricl
Of the belief you'd like to hear
The foolish things you did.
You know you've done a thing or two,
Which shows you've got some sense,
But every time they talk of you
They're certain to commence
With tales of "What a fool you were
When you lived here --a kill;"
They have forgotten all except
The foolish things you did.

the following item:
"The collector having declined to act in
that capae'ity this year. It was moved
bv' --, seconded -bv -- that , applica-

The main reasons that the collector de
clmed were, all Banks have. refused to
accept taxes from ratepayers of this or
any other municipality this year. and all
taxes will have to be paid to the collector
`And.the meagre salary offered by the
