F. Sutherland, of North Essex, Was chosen Speaker, with Oharlie Marcil, the veteran! news- paper man, in the chair of Deputy Speaker. The party whips were: - Government ,Ohief Whip, W. S. Cal- vert; Assistant Whip, Horaee J. Lo- gan, who now adorns the Senate; On- tario, George D. Grant, who defeated George E. Foster in a hectic by-elec- tion in North Ontario in 1903; Que- bec, Louis Lavergne, now wheeled a- bout the Senate precincts, infirm of body but keen of mind; Maritimes, Alex. Johnstone, one of the doughtiest fighters for the golvernment in and out of the House, and now Deputy Minister of Marine; Manitoba and Northwest Territories, J. G. Turriff, FROM RHEUMATISM now the lone eagle of the Progressives in the Senate; and British Columbia, R. G. Macpherson, who 'became later Postmaster of Vancouver. The Op- position whips were headed by George Taylor, of Leeds, long since gone to his reward. George used to distri- bute rosy cheeked apples to all the members and the Press Gallery on his birthday, and it was one of the sights of the year to see Sir Wilfrid gracely munching one of George's apples. Geo. Taylor used to stand up andcry over the expenditures in the Auditor Gen- eral's report. Waving a copy of that interesting volume in the face of the government benches, he would, with hardly repressed sobs, exclaim "Whi- ther are we drifting, Mr. Speaker?" Ontario whips were, A. B. Ingram and F. A. Lancaster, the latter of "stop, look and listen" fame. J. E. E. Len- ard was Quebec whip; Maritimes, A. A. Lefurgey from Prince Edward Is- land; New Brunswick, G. W. Ganong of chocolate renown; with Dr. W. J. Roche bringing up the western rear. Dr. Roche is now chairman of the Civ- il Service Commission. Hardly had the first session of that parliament struck its stride than the sudden resignation of Mr. Sifton from the Cabinet caused the government to wobble a bit. Tarte might go into the wilderness, unwept and unsung, but it was a different matter with the little Napoleon of the west, whose en- ergetic immigration policy was peo- pling the plains. Mr. ;Sifton could not agree with the terms of the edu- cational clauses in the Autonomy Bills which created Alberta and Saskat- chewan from the wide open spaces of the Territories. Mr. Sifton made known his reasons for resigning from the Cabinet in a dramatic speech to the House on March 1st, 1905, Frank Oliver was appointed to succeed him as Minister of Interior on April 8th. Incidentally Mr. Oliver is still hearty and 'vigorous, although the burden of the passing years is increasing, and is in active harness with the Railway Commission. Mr. Oliver, a most plain spoken and unassuming man, with a vigorous and expressive vocabulary, had some difficulty in clothing his thoughts in parliamentary language when his Department was under fire in the House. One incident comes to the mind of the writer. There was considerable trouble over allegations that Indians were being deprived of their lands which were going to friends of the then government. Geo. Bradbury, of Selkirk, was one of those on the Opposition side who most vig- orously assailed the Department, and ohampioned the cause of the poor red man. George for some time had been preparing a case and he was ready to launch his charges on a set date. He had previously sent a copy of his speech to the Winnipeg "Telegram," with orders to release it on the day appointed. The prepared copy was interlarded with brackets "loud Con- servative cheers," "tremendous en- thusiasm," and bore the flare head "Government reels) under Bradbury shock." Well, the day came for Bradbury to make his onslaught, but for some reason he was sidetracked and did not get the floor at all. But the Winnipeg "Telegram," quite un- conscious of the fact that the wheels had slipped a cog, came out the fol- lowing day with the whole text of Bradbury's speech rocking the govern- ment, tremendous cheers, extraordin- ary enthusiasm and what have you. To give full measure they added that when the furore which came at the close of Mr. Bradbury's magnificent peroration had died down, Mr. Oliver, amid Conservative jeers, rose and in a few halting sentences, with flushed face, denied there was anything wrong but promised a full investigation. Of course. when the Winnipeg Telegram 'reached Ottawa with its flaring head- lines of Mr. iBradbury's alleged per- formance, there was much amusement, Mr. Oliver rose in a crowded House to a question of privilege, and Sir Wilfrid, with his keen sense of hum- or, sat there smiling. Looking elver at Bradbury sitting uneasily across the aisle, Mr. Oliver said: "Mr. Speaker, I hold in my hand a copy of the Winnipeg 'Telegram,' containing a report of a speech concerning the administration of Indian lands by my department, alleged to have been made by the member for Selkirk. I have no objection, Mr. Speaker, to the mem- ber causing to be printed in the press a speech which he has not delivered, but I think I am within my rights, Mr. Speaker, in objecting to having printed a reply which I did not make." The House roared, the . Opposition looked rather sheepish, and the inci- dent closed. Recently the writer re- minded Mr. Oliver of the incident, and he laughed heartily. "Yes," he said, "but if I had told Bradbury what I really thought of him, they would have called in the police." The old House was a comfortable and "homey" place. It had two bars, one in the bowels of the Commons side, a democratic institution presided over by Sam Cassidy. The other, on the Senate side near the corner stone, wr s more of a high hat place. The Commons one had a room named the "Ark," a favorite resort of the Press Gallery men and genial sous among the members, where sing songs were held Which often lasted until Mr. Hol- der, the night watchman, nicknamed St. Peter because he strolled about with a large bunch of keys, told us the grey dawn was breaking. Syd- ney ;'i?her once denied vehemently Regained Health Through the Use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Rheumatism is a disorder of the blood -caused by too much uric acid in the blood -and must be treated through the blood. It attacks its vic- tims when vitality is low, thus setting up inflammation in the muscles and joints. Wet and cold weather may start the tortures of rheumatism but it is not the cause. The cause is the blood -bad blood. Enrich and purify the blood and rheumatism will disap- pear. If you are a sufferer from this painful malady begin the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and see how soon the pains and stiffness will disappear. These pills enrich and purify the blood and good blood means good health. Mrs. John C. McPherson, St. Marys, Ont., was a victim of rheumatism for years and writes as follows of her ill- ness and recovery. She says: - "I suffered from rheumatism for nearly sixteen years and for eleven years I was unable to walk. I tried a num-, ber of medicines as well as massage and chiropratic treatment without any permanent benefit. I was then so bad that I was at a loss to know what to try next. I noticed in different papers how strongly Dr. Williams' Pink Pills were recommended for cases like mine so I decided to try them. After tak- ing several boxes I noticed that my appetite was improving. The pains became less severe and my color im- proved. 1 continued their use and now I am able to do light housework, I wish I could impress on all rheu- matic sufferers just what these won- derful pills have done to me." Dr. William's' Pink Pills do one thing but they do it well -they en- rich and purify the blood. This rich red blood banishes such troubles as rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia and neuritis and leaves the former suffer- er robust and healthy and well able to take his or her place in doing the duties expected of them. The pills are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Wil- liams' Medicine Co.. Brockville, Ont. WHEN LAURIER REIGNED SUPREME (By Sydney Roe in Saturday Night) Nowthe fourth session of the six- teenth parliament has opened with the usual booming of guns, state din- ners, rvice-regal drawing rooms, and the other ornate displays of a thor- oughly democratic people, it is inter- esting to turn back the pages of memory and glance at the House of Commons a quarter of a century ago. In so doing one is forcibly reminded of the words of the old hymn, a relic of Sunday (School days: , Time like an ever -rolling stream Bears all its sons away. When the present session opened on February 20th, only six members who sat in. the Housed twenty-five years ago made their bows to the Speaker. These include Mr. Lemieux himself, Hon. Ernest Lapointe. Geor• ges Parent, of Montmorency, E. W. Tobin, the veteran from Richmond - Wolfe, Hugh Guthrie and Charles Marcil. Sir George Perley and Mr. Bourassa are there to -day as they were twenty-five years ago, but their membership has not been continuous. The old pages in memory's shadowy book show that Sir Wilfrid had gone to the country on November 3rd, 1904, and had been sustained by a com- manding majority. The old chief was at the topmost pinnacle of his power. The shadows of impending defeat, wliich came seven years later, were not athwart his path. Tarte had gone into the wilderness, the same Israel who in piquant phrase spoke of the Cabinet "fighting like blazes." There were no pretenders near the Throne. His old guard were about hire; Field- - -ter School Hours Children love CROWN BRAND Syrup on bread - give it to them every day, it's delicious and wholesome.

At a by-election in the eastern townships, Mr. Fisher, speaking for the Liberal candidate at a joint meeting, was heckled on the question of the bar and disclaimed any knowledge of such a den of infamy. The Conservative candidate, well known for his love of good living and convivial habits, when his time came to speak, declared if they sent him to Ottawa he would find out if there was a bar in the House of Commons before he had been there half an hour. Loud cheers! Romauld Charlemagne Laurier, Sir Wilfrid's half brother, was a member of the House at that time. He was completely overshadowed by his illus- trious relative and was never heard in debate. J. E. Archambault, a black bearded giant from Berthier, and little Joe Dubeau, of Joliette, were the official songsters twenty-five years ago. Another interesting figure on the Liberal side Was .I. B. Kennedy, of New Westminster, who worked as a stonemason on the Parliament Build- ings before 1867. Henry Horton Mil- ler, the father of the anti -racetrack gambling bill, was a conspicuous member of the government rank and file. On the Opposition side such men as R. L. Borden, Colonel David Tis- dale, John Haggart, with his famous chuckle, F. D. Monk, Haughton Len- nox, George E. Foster and Horace Bergeron were the spearheads of the Gonservati've attack. In the Press Gallery, among others, were Fred Cook and Bob MacLeod, the two vet- erans of Sir John Macdonald's days; William Mackenzie, who had papers from coast to coast; John Garvin, of the Toronto "News"; a singer of note, dear John Ewan, of the "Globe"; Ar- thur Wallis, of the "Mail and Em- pire"; Frank MacNamara, of the Mon- treal Star"; Fred Landon, of the "London Free Press"; Fred Williams, of the "Ottawa Free Press"; Charlie Bishop, of the "Hamilton Spectator"; it Paul Bilkey, of the "Toronto Tele- gram," and Sydney Roe, of the "Mon- treal Gazette!' In looking back to the old days one is apt to think that there were abler men in public life, but really that is not correct. Distant fields are ever green, and very ordinary men assume an unwonted stature as the years go by. In a long experience of watching the wheels of parliament go round, the writer can state without any res- ervation that the men of the Com- mons to -day are equal in every respect to those of a quarter of a century ago. Life went by lazily then; present problems were non-existent. And the men of to -day are grappling with things as they are in a way that their predecessors could not have bettered. Need Cleaner Soil and Good Seed. In spite of the fact that official reports indicate that over a period of years there is no decline in crop yields, there are still many districts where the impression prevails that the harvests are not what they used to be. A case in point is in Welling- ton County, where the agricultural representative has found that there are many farmers who are not satis- fied with results in recent years and are sending samples of seed oats to be tested. This dissatisfaction may be due in part to the short crop of 1929 when lack of moisture cut the yields almost everywhere, a seasonal condition which should not give the impression that either soil or seed have run out. There are now avail- able varieties of wheat, barley and oats that outyield the other sorts, but even the best selected seeds cannot give results if the soil is not in con- dition or if the fields are overrun with weeds.
