His Salutatory
Oration
' By EUNICE BLAKE
To the collegian the time of his grill
h:uien is critical, especially if he has
been prouiluent in college and emelt s
ex'Inected 4,5 him. The question has
been asked, What beoomcs et all the
vuledieterians? This is a story of whet
became of a young moon who stood next
to head in his class, but who bade fair
to take a Inure lnrporteut stand hi life
than any other member.
It was a few ,lays before commence-
meet. l•:not :lyres, wile was expect-
ing his mother and sister to hear him
speak et graduation, went to the sta-
tlun to meet them. Having missed the
train, they failed to arrive, but sante
olio else arrived whose coming made a
considerable clil'terence to Mr. Ayres.
Ile was slowly walking away from
the train when he felt a pair or firms
with extremely light covering thrown
around his neck, an uplifted face was
thrust against his, and he was kissed
by a very pretty girl he had never
seen before. 1)iseo'et'ing that she had
made a mistake, she shrank from the
man she had kissed, covering her face
with her hands.
The first impression made upon Ayres
by this sudden clasping was that it
was done for the purpose of robbing
him, Involuntarily he put his hand on
the inside pocket of his coat, where he
kept his pocketbook, and it was not
there.
"Give me my pocketbook," be said
in a no very deferential tone.
The girl uncovered her face and look-
ed at him, the hot blood mounting to
her cheeks.
"What do you mean?" she asked in-
dignantly.
There was a refinement about her
that seemed to preclude the possibility
of her being a thief. Besides, her in-
dignation bore the stamp of being gen-
uine. Ayres felt again in his pocket
and on looking down on the sleeve of
his coat remembered that he had
changed it before leaving his room.
Then it occurred to him that he had
not changed his pocketbook as well.
"I beg your pardon," he said quite
meekly. "I have made a mistake as
well as you. I left ray pocketbook at
home."
Now, why in the name of justice was
not this a fair standoff between the
two? Each had been mistaken; there-
fore there was nothing further to do
but for the girl to say, "You are quite
excusable," and for the man to say,
"Good morning," and, lifting his hat,
deferentially pass on. But what must
the girl do but shoot fire from her eyes
and say:
"Give me your name and address.
My brother will call upon you to
avenge this iasult!"
"But 1 have explained. 1 beg a thou-
sand pardons!"
"You may beg a million if you like!"
"But"
"Never mind. Since you refuse me
your name and address, I shall have
to locate you. I can point you out"
And, turning on her heel, she swept
out of the station.
The next day about 10 in the morn-
ing a military band gathered on the
college campus. Positions for the va-
rious classes and alumni were marked.
Young men iu caps and gowns began to
pour out of the dormitories, the Qenl-
mencemeut procession was formed and
marched to the chapel for the graduat-
ing exercises,. The salutatory oration
was delivered by Ayres. II1s place
was second in rank, but the valedic-
torian was a grind, while Ayres was
considered a gcuius, of whom great
things were expected when he got into
the battle of life.
Ayres, being the first man to speak,
stepped on the rostrum and made his
bow to the audience, most of whom,
knowing his caliber, awaited expecte
antly the power of his eloquence.
Mr. Ayres, looking down an the
benches before him, saw sitting in the
front row the girl whom he had .,the
day before accused of robbing'Itim and
whose brother was to settle with him
for the insult, No such revenge was
necessary. The young lady looked up
at the salutatorian at the critical mo-
ment of hls life and slew him.
The first sentence of Ayres' oration
had been written to arrest the atten-
tion of the audience. It was a vigorous
sentence of two words. As Ayres
spoke it it was like bringing down a
feather instead of a sledgehammer.
And this would apply to his whole ora-
tion, The girl in the audience sat look-
ing up at him with a pair of beautiful
liquid eyes filled with contempt. The
most telling utterances she received
with a curl of the lip; at those parts
which were intended to express great
feeliug she gave him a look of levity.
The oration was a failure. When
Ayres stepped down from the rostrum
he knew that his audience had been
greatly disappointed in him. Ells moth-
er and sister joined him and asked him
what In the world had been the matter
With him. Ile put them off. If he had
told them the truth he would have said
that a career bad been ruined,
Ayres never recovered from that fail-
ure, Ete had untended to study law,
and his classmates had averred that
ho would turn out it statesmen. Ho
went hack to the farm from which he
lied gone to college and neves left it,
Ile fe now an old men, who has never
done any more important work than
raising corn and potatoes,
And the girl who slew him? Oho is
now prominent socially and a leader
among women.
WIDE EXODUS TO U. S.
SHOWN IN STATISTICS
Official Figures Reveal 3,000,000
Left Canada Since Confederation
Quebec, Nov. 16.. ---During the past
sixty years, or since Confederation,
2,335,284 Canadians have crossed
the line to the United State, accord-
ing to official figures recently pub-
lished. To that number must bo
added some twenty-five per cent. to
account for those that smuggled
I themselves or were smuggled across
to avoid paying the $8 head tax.
Figures for six years, 1886-87-91-
92-93 and 1908 are missing, but
based on the average for the remain-
; ing period, the sixty year total is
swelled to some 2,400,000 who o i-
i daily and legally crossed the line,
15 twenty live per cent. is added to
the total for those who furtively made
their way across, the answer is three
millions, or more than one-quarter
of the present population of the
Dominion.
The biggest year of any for Cana-
dian migration to the United, States
was 1924, when 200,690 made their
way across the line, while the small-
est number who crossed in any one
year was 28 this happening in 1839.
During the six-year period between
1921 and 1927 the number of Cana-
dians who legally entered the United
States to take up residence there wag.
617,529, or a yearly average of over
102,000, the statistics show. With
the exception of 1924 which was a
banner year in that Canadians contri-
buted $3,612,420 in head tax and
visas, at the rate of $8 apiece for
head tax and $10 for a visa and 1923,
the records show that 1917. when
105,899 crossed the line, was the
next bigget year. The total for
1928 was 117,011, so that in two
years no fewer than 817,701 Cana-
dians made their way across the line
to live.

Hospital tor it Children
67 College St., Toronto 2, Ont.
December, 1918.
Dear Dlr. Editor:—
For some years past the work that
this Hospital has been able to do
for the children of Ontario has been
seriously cramped through lack of
space, A point was reached where
the Trustees sad to decide whether
its service should be restricted to
the utmost number of "Sick Kids
whom it could provide with cots or
whether it should add to its room.
There are many youngsters suffer•
ing from afflictions of the spine and
joints, whom only many long months
can restore to health and strength.
Medical care will help; but what
they principally need is fresh air
and sunshine. Hitherto the Hospital
for Sick Children has looked after
such children in an institution close
by a city playground. where more
fortunate boys and girls enjoy their
sports.. . imagine their plight, lying
' month after month listening to the
shouts and laughter of other children,
In October last, the Hospital for
Sick Children opened its country
annex devoted to youngsters whose
one chance to have their limbs
straightened or their bodies bunt up
must be in some plane where they
have sunshine and fresh air pias
nursing care and medical attention.
on a height of land near Weston,
away from the murk of the city,
children are winning their way back
to health in an environment of sun-
shine, pure breezes and quiet.
The country hospital at Thistle -
town is a God -send for children .
whom it will take a long time to
cure. It also liberates a hundred
cots in the parent institution for
youngsters who can be set right in
a Short time if quickly given con-
stant attention. So the Hospital for
Sick Children has now two doors to
keep open day and night to every
class, color and creed.,
For more than half a century the
Hospital has depended for its very
existence upon the public response
to its annual appeal which, being to
behalf of children, is appropriately
made at Christmas time, For over
fifty years the H.F.S.C. has been
enabled to make both ends meet by
the donations of its friends, whether
such be a dollar'or an endowment.
But the end of 1928 finds it with
many large bilis to pay for its new
Ventura
1'o its old friends the .Hospital for
Sick Children once more appeals. It
is because so many of your readers
are included in that ever-growing
circle, that I trespass upon your
space to remind them that it was
their generosity in the past that em-
boldened the Hospital's Trustees to
build for the future. With an extra
effort stimulated by a new need,
cannot the income of the "Sick
Kids" be put once more abreast of
Its urgent needs?
Faithfully yours,

A rosy future for Canada was pre-
dicted by the veteran British naval
officer. "The twentieth century be-

The reply was: "I expect he knows
