Few of his school mates are still here. Col, Hugh Clark, ex-''I:P, was a boyhood friend o'f the arc'hb'ishop. Rev. Thomas Whalen of 'Ayr was another boyhood. companion.

SIR DONALD MANN DIES 'T'he ranks of Canada's pioneer• builders were depleted during 'the welt end when Sir Donald D. Manan, pic- turesque pioneer of the railway con- s'tructiot days, died at Toron'to Satur day, following a heart attack. Sir !Donald, despite his 8th years, had been in good health and his death ,came as a shock to friends. To the end he re - tainted his forceful personality, that had made him the worlcmen's idol during the early days. He was a lead- ing figure in the world of finance and politics at one period and was e 'mem- ber of that noted ,partnership, Mac- Kenzie and Mann, which he founded in '114146. The building firm reached into numerous fields bot transporta- tion w'ork brought Sir Donald his fame. IR'ailway building knew the name of Mann from coast to coast.

And there are to be added the prairie chickens of the western plains, as well as ducks, brant, rails, coots, shore birds, wad- ers, with scares of other types all claiming an equal right to life and escape from the guns and traps of human marauders. 'Conte with nee in imagination to a couple of sample sanctuaries in Can- ada. In the centre of the Bay of Cha— 'deur, off the Gulf of St. Lawrence, lie the isles of Perce and Bonaven- ture. These are among the scores of bird centres speci!fic'ally mentioned under this international protection. IFerce Rock or the Pierced Rack -- famous for its dramatic size and posi- tion, is inhabited by 'countless thous- ands of birds of many species who live on tine lofty roof of the big Rock in more or less amity. They have this upper surface divided into areas, where each type has its own domaic and where all is peaceful until a cor- morant trespasses into the back yard of a gannet, or a puffin poaches on the preserve of an auk. Then there is trouble that is audible even to the distant mainland, At other times the whole bird population is strangely agitated into wiled cries in advance of a storm, They beat the weather man by hours in their storm predictions. !.3 short distance away rises the bulkier mass of Ilonarenture, which probably harbors the largest popula- tion of .ca fowl o: any sanctuary, at least in Canada.

HISTORIC SHOTS A -:lot :ire;: by a pinchbeck patriot, an'1 one of :he •e,v remains: ut,at- :wells 'f Europe is hnrri'•,1. or. of ex- istence i1: 0 crowded street of Mar - Om city of siaieter reputation. Sixteen millions of people are left leaderless, and a child of eleven as- sume•, the purple at a moment of the gravest import in a nation'., history. The whole future of the Balkan penin- sula, that flash -point of Europe, has been altered by a handful of lead and saltpetre projected by the hand of an unbalanetd extremist, The Balkans have wittily been called "the East End of Europe,” and the jibe well de- scribes them. !Indeed, it is only by courtesy that their inhabitants can be described as Europeans at all, and large numbers of them are still Mo- hammedans. These countries bristle with "Patriotic" and Communistic Societies, many of which are associate Societies, and each among the jumble of races represented in the peninsula believes itself to ,have "rights" and "a future." This description of over - localised patriotism is becoming a world -pest. It is merely Tin -pan Al- leyisnt, writ large, the gang idea slightly developed. If every cranny in Europe is to demand separate govern- ment because its people pronounce their vowels rather differently from those in the next valley, and wear sheepskins instead of goatskins, civil- isation will shortly ,come to a stand- still—as quite a few million desperate anti -humans in this world desire that it should! This slaughter Of rulers is the retort to settled government of that part of humanity which is evilly disposed or peevishly weal:. There is a type of person in all countries, weak minded and .querulous, who, out of a vast conceit of himself and his sup- posed abilities, conceives a ' violent aversion for government—any gov- ernment—which his egoism and van- ity regard as inferior to his own con- ceptions of society. In especial, he che.rls•hee a .grudge against the utzliv- idual who sym'bol'ises the particular government he contemns, be this king or president, and illogically believes that, were the acknowledged head to be removed, his own particular brand of c'h'aos might have a Chance for the expression of its wild philosophy. Nearly all the ,men who inning the last century have assassinated crown- ed heads, presidents, or important ministers, have been degenerates of this sort, ,miserable creatures with a lopsided outlook on international poli- ties and an inordinate vanity, who were usually the catspaws of those dark agencies whose only desire is to sweep away ail semblance of order and reduce human society to utter coaiusio . The report that Kaleman, the assassin of King Alexander, is pro'babiy a :Macedonian, and not a Serbo-Croat, as at first seemed prob- able, recalls to the student of Europ- pean affairs the existence of a pecul- iarly malignant species of "patriotic" rascality. For generations the Mace- donian comitad§es, or ,bands of "free- dom lovers," have fomented in the Balkans ideas of anarchy and unrest, and have rendered life, in Bulgaria and Yugoslavia especially, a kind of nightmare. A retrospect of such political assas- sinations would be a lengthy business., J3ut several memorable .instances ob- trude themselves. Perhaps the most nota'hle is that of the noble Abraham Lincoln, :.'resident of the United. States, in 113'05, who was shot chow• by a fanatic while visiting the the- atre. His death, occurring in the midst of an era of reconstruction, wreaked immense damage on the whole politic - a' and national fabric of the 1'nitr5 States.
