FLYING IN EUROPE
A Couple of Interesting Squibs from
• Major's Letter Home
The following is taken from the Listowel
Banner and refers to Major McKeever,
the second Canadian Air Ace.
Mr. William McKeever tit6 aged par=
ent of Major Andrew McKeever, D.S. 0.,
M. G;, named as likely to—accompany
Col. "collisbaw on his . attempted flight
across the Atlantic, had a letter from his
son 'yesterday, in which he states that he
expects to be home within a few weeks.
He refers to flying a German Fokker
biplane to-Fngland. "I liked it very much•"
, he said, • and am surprised to find it -so
comfortable to fly. It has a perfect 200
H. P. Mercedesengine, and any of the
other officers whom I have allowed to fly
it, seem surprised at its performance. But
the novelty will soon wear off. I hope to
be able to take it to Canada with\ us."
Though due to nervous trouble, his • eye
sight has become effected, 'so that he is
usable to,read, the father of the disting-
uished aviator, has been kept informed of
the remarkable accomplishments of his
brilliant son who bytes wonderful achieve-
ments in the air, has won for himself high
honor. .
• The father is enthusiastic over the plan-
ned Atlantic flight, in which his son is to
participate, but fears the Canadians flyers
are about six weeks les behind the time and
that others will beat them to it. "It
wouldn't surprise me greatly," he remark-
ed, "if Andy Stole'a march on them and
returned to Canada by aeroplane. He
has been flying steadily for some 'weeks,"
said the father, "including a non stop'
flight of 800 miles from England to Scot-
land and return, and has probably been
getting in trim for the flight across the
ocean "
Other snatches from Major McKeever's
letter of yesterday follow:
"Have been in France, .Belgium and
Germany for the last months I visited
the aerodromes where, was stationed in
1917 and most all of the front from the
coast of Dunkirk. south, almost to the'
border of France. It was a wonderful ex-
perience, While at Brussels I visited the
the battlefield of Waterloo. It was very
interesting. Little did I think when read-
ing at school about this great battle, that
I should ever visit theplace and especially
by air.
"My visit to France was for the .Can-
adian authorities in connection with the
air craft equipment for Canada, to be
handed over by the Germans, according
to the armistice terms.
"Cologne is quite a beautiful town and
the Germans"are not much like a .beaten
people. They hold dances so many nights
each week. The girls dance very well and
some are quite pretty. I would not dance
with any of them, though some of the
British officers do. -
"Iron crosses and souvenirs fill all the
store windows and the old Boche is mak-
ing pots of money, selling souvenirs, etc..
to French, British and American troops."
The Late Mrs. Bares.
The death o f Mrs. Joliette Minerva
Burns. widow of the late Robert Burns
of Ilowick, took place early on Tuesday
morning of last week Deceased, who was
74 years of age, had been a sufferer for
about four months with gangrene of the
foot. - Sheaves an estimable woman, and
enjoyed the highest respect of all her as
quaintances The funeral took place last
Thursday afternoon t o the McIntosh
cemetery. One son and four daughters

to its sturdy and graceful appearan,abut to its

A COY WOR ft' KNOWING
NO DAVLIGIIi' SAVINO
"Is this a brink where they lend money
to anyone Who isurely will pay it back?"
The boy who peered through the little
grating of the bank window as he asked
that question seemed almost dancing on
tiptoe in his eagerness and excitement,
He was small. redheaded, and freckled,
beyond belief.
The man in the case looked at him with
undisguised interest
"What's your name, my lad?"
"Martin Tell "
"Mutton Taller!" snickered a messenger
boy waiting outside in a line.
Tt.e men in the line heard it, and one
or t w o smiled involuntarily, T h e
man who asked the question hearcit, and
his lips tighened.
"On good security we do."
"Security 1 What's that?" asked the
boy, puzzled and impatient.
"Why- something to show that you
surely will pay'it."
"I'm my own security i I wouldn't go.
back on my own word, would I i"
The man inside the window gaye an-
other shrewd, sharp look into the boy's
steady blue eyes and asked:
"I -low much do you want?"
"Fifty cents," said Martin, "And I
want it right away. I'r afraid the
chance swill be gone if I don't hurry !
It's to buy a cart for carrying papers from
a boy out here, I cat 'get cart, good will
and all for that, He's sick of his job."
The men all laughed. The bank clerk
however, deliberately and grpvely handed
over a bright half dollar and turned to his
other customers.
Two days latter he was back at the
window again. When he saw he was re•
cognized he pushed a new half -dollar
under the wire saying: "Youpay interest
on lent money, but I don't know how
much 'tis. Would five cents be about
right?"
The man smiled warmly. This was a
boy worth knowing.
It would be a great deal too much.
And this particular time I'd rather you
wouldn't pay anything, The money has
not been gone long enough. If you are
willing, however, I wish you would conte
back here about one o'clock and tell me
a little about the business in which you
are engaged; it interests me."
"All right," said Martin, and at one
o'clock he was there.
"No, not a paper route," he corrected,
"just a cart, There was a boy who had
one; and he had a good idea ton, but `he
didn't stick to it. He started to go round
and gather up all the old papers anybody
would give him, and then he thought he
could sell them at the papermill, where
they have‘to use a lot; for I've seen them.
But he didn't have any head on him, and
didn't make it work. So I bought him
out," -
And you are going to put some brains
into the business!" commented the gentle-
man, amused and admiring,
"All I have !" said the boy, simply.
First thing; you have to work; next thing,
you have to keep on working. Planning
goes for something, too."
"My boy, you're, or the right track!"
cried the man, with enthusiasm. You'll
make it' go. Xou are not needing any
more help?" -
"No, not just now," said Martin.
"When I do, I'll let you know. We plan-
ned it all out last night, mother and L
She'son reat planning."
g p g
A mist came over the man's eyes,.and
something came up in his throat, but he
was not ashamed of either. A sudden
memory carpe back to him of another
mother who was ''great oar planning."
He rose without speaking and put his arm
around Martin's shoulders for an instant
on the way to the door.
"Go ahead, my boy," he said briefly,
"and don't be afraid to come to me if you
want anything." -
"No, I wouldn't " said Martin slowly -
Wouldn't be afraid of coming. "I mean.
Only the less you lean, the straighter
you'll stand. That's what mother says.
I don't want too many folks to help me,
bow that I have a start and a chance to
do something."
"Go ahead, boy," cried the man again.

At minutes after a radiant, freckled -

shock of carroty hair, was making very
quick time homeward under a burden of
gorgeous, long-stemmed roses—roses as
"big as pennies," as his mother said in
amazement when he presented 'them to
her.

BiLL W)tIENZOLLERN
Government supporters subsequent to
the adjournment of.tha Unionist's eaucu
recently, asserted the belief that a- day
light Having bill would not he introduced
this session They based their statements
on the amount of criticism of the measure
heard in caricas. According to t hese
members, practically no one spoke in fav-
or of Canada again adopting the experi-
ment of last year. Members represent-
ing city constituencies, it is understood,
did not seriously try to meet the ava-
lanche • of objections registered by t h e
representatives o f rural constituencies.
In some cases they stated that if the feel-
ing of Parliament was so strongly against
the reintroduction of the measure the
cities would introduce the scheme on their
own account.
The development of so much opposition
to daylight saving creates a difficult situ-
ation f o r this Government. It h a s
generally assumed that Canada would fol-
low the example of the United States in
this matter. While daylight saving was
atrenously opposed across the border. by
the agricultural interests in Congress they
failed in their effort to have the measpre
killed, and when that body adjourned
some slays ago the bill providing for a
change in time on March $0 was still in-
tact.
It is probable that considerable presure
will now be brought to bear on the Gov-
ernment by the railways, boards of trade,
etc., to have Canadian time conform to
that of the United States. It is admitted
• that if it does not, much confusion will
result at the border in connection with
the operations of the train service.' In
this connection the suggestion is made by
those who favor daylight saving that if
the Government fails to introduce a bill
the ra lways will be compelled to make
their time conform to that across the
border. Should the railways do this the
cities would be almost • certain to follow
their lead, with the result that the people
m the country. would in some respects be
placed in much the same position as they
were last year when the Daylight Savings
Act was in force.

The drowsy hum of summer bees,
If friends had dared to call him Dill,
Ile might have been a monarch still,
If he had ever stooped to play
With children at the close of day.
Or ridden them upon his knee,
He might not now an outcast be.
If he had ever turned aside '
And dropped his dignity and pride,
Forgetting that he was a king,
To do a little neighboring
With humble then who crossed his way;
If he had ever spent one day
In comradeship --he might not now
Bove hatred written on his brow.
Had he loved skies and running brooks,
And tangled woods and fishing nooks,
And learned to call<ttle birds by name,
And fed them crumbs as they grew tame,
Or had* ever left his throne
To talk with men, he might have known
Some secrets of the human heart
And better played the monarch's part.
If home had ever meant to him
More than a castle, cold and grim,
If he had tended it with care
Planted the roses blooming there,
Had learned to laugh and roup and sing.

That man who worships power alone
Shall suddenly he overthrown,
Who turns away from men and God
Shall fall at last beneath the rod,

Must tread the ways of humbleness

The royalty that can endure.
