The vowel "u" is dropped oat in quite a number of words, for instance from the word3 'colour, and parlour. Then again 'theatre is spelled 'theater.' It is a mistake to spoil good English by such abbreviations as the above examples." Why is it a mistake to "spoil" good Engisb. by changing a corrupt Norman French form for pure Latin one? When the Normans came into England and conquered it they brought with them their language and their peculiar methods of spelling. In all the centur ies the Englishman has never had the courage to drop out the unnecessary ; "u" in such pure Latin words as "fav-1 or," "honor," and "color." but it did j not take the practical Yankees long ! to appreciate the good sense of a re- . version to the old classical spelling and the elimination of the unnecessary letters. In the case of "theater," "cen ter" and other words the very sensible plan was adopted of following the pro nunciation.

It Is evident that the captains of industry mustj have t.een consulted when the meas- "'' was framed. There are two im- por'ant jokers 1n the agreement. One provides for freer lumber providing neither country lays an export tax on the same. As all lumber shipped from the crown lands in Canada is subject to duty, the consumer of lumber !!! get no cheaper product than if lumber was not mentioned in the on t! unliable list for the benefit of the meat packers' trust. i I he deni'KTats are in a Dosiiion to j support the agreement with more con sistency than an- the republicans.

The republican member votes for the aroimt'nt with no intention of ever voting to place lumber and dress ed meats on the free listy but with the intention of permitting the agre-' merit to lemain in erfect with the luni- ber 'and dress-d meat jokers intact. ! There s- ins to be some fear among a certain proportion of the farmers! lest a rednciicn or a removal of the I tariff harrier will at once be followed by ihe influx of Canadian farm pro ducts that will make profitable till ing cf the soii an impossibility. This fallacy has been fostered by the argu-J t'letits made : politicians that the I salvation of the farmer lies in high protection. It is also arrued by some that with the free entrance of Canadian food stuffs the entire surplus of that coun try would be thrown info our mar kets: and yet Canada's export i-'raia shows about une-fjftleih of the! natured smile of his clothes were for a!ue of thfc cereal crop of this torn-j gotten and he was taken right into try.

It may ultimately prove that the j free listitj-t; of "Tartn products was the best thing that could have happened, because there it no longer any sus picion of a reason why the farmers should not get busy and demand a revenue tariff on manufactured arti cles.

Pat was a fine strapping: young fellow and pood looking, though he was so poor that bis clothes were rag gedit's not every man whose manly beauty will show to advantage when his bare knees are peeping through his trousers aud a tuft of his curly hair protrudes through a bole In his bat But when Pat smiled that good one of th. ib nnd h .iwaT well dressed. She had a real Irish complexion, aa white as milk and aa red as a rose. There was so much mingling between the white and the d that u Trn impossible to tell the one began and the other ended. Pat and Maggie did a lot of walkine; about together on the banks of the lakes, and they were always noted for I?. dl!reB? ,n,the,r a!?Pearan-e' Pat : b being in , snch rked contrast lU . KUt 11 .tll.3 were spick and span and Pat's falling to pieces.

The trouble with Pat wn not that he was lazy, but that he was the kind of young man who needed o d porta - ntfy. And what omortunltv was there f0r blm in a region where the land j had all been taken up long ago by the I gentry? Was not the road leading j around the lakes so hemmed la by the ! estates of the aristocracy that thai beauty of the scenery was shut off completauy?

Shurely not for dancin', be cause Ol've no illigant clothes, no grasshopper coat, for balls and par ties. Oi'll walk to Queenstown and go in the fiist ship that'll take me." Maggie had none of that happy-go-lucky disposition which was at the bottom of all her lover'g actions. But Pafs disposition was not only . happy-go-lucky; he was a nttural gambler.. Ilia proposed move to America seemed to Maggie a jump in the dark. Fat was looking at the chances. There were surely none for him In Ireland, anii fhor rr. ' trli f Ka anm a fnr him In America. Ergo.

Then- Pat kissed her, took np hia j pack, slung it on to the other end of a ; staff and was about to set forth on 1 his journey when Maggie handed hia i an envelope. "It's for me cousin Bridget, who; wlct to Ameriky last year. She's work In la one ' the hotels In Ameriky ." "Which wan? ! "Ol don't know. If ye don't foind j her the week aftfcer Isndin open it and read what the wrltin savs t j "Ol'll foind her, sure," said Pat. and with a last embrace he started off with head erect at a strapping pace down the road. Maggie waited till he had gone to a point where she could see him through sn opening in the trees on the crest of a bill. He turned and threw her a kiss. Firing up didn't trouble Pat a bit; It was when he reached the great city of New York, where "dollars as big as cart wheels were rolling about In the streets." that the real fight began. He didn't happen to meet Maggie's cousin Bridget, and, concluding that America was, after all. too tig a country to warrant a search for her, he put the letter away. Indeed, he had no time for anything but making his living. He soon got a Job. though a small one, and hadn't been in New York a month before he cast off his threadbare suit forever, donning a new one In its stead. Pat spent a couple of years with a plumber learning the trade. The ap prentice was smart and not only be came a plumber, but a boss plumber, and four years after having landed set up for himself. Pat had a great advantage In his cheery disposition. lie became very popular with his associates, and. since popularity is an essential feature of leadership, be became a leader in a email way. A politician, perceiving his influence, took him up and made him one of his lieutenants. Pat developed fine political Instincts. He had the art of turning down all grumblers among his adherents with that imperturbable smile of his. This is a power in poli tics. If he was obliged to give four plums to eight heelers, all of whom had worked equally well "for the tick et," he would give four of them a plum each, while every one of the other four men received a smile, an encomium and a promise for "next time." Tat did not forget Maggie. Several times he made ready to send for her, but every tlmo something happened to prevent. Then be began to make mon ey, and it occurred to him that it would be a fine thing to go over, marry Maggie in Ireland and bring her home, just as the quality, do. He wrote to her to that effect, bnt she wrote back that such a plan would be too great a waste of funds. So in the end Tat sent Ler a draft for plenty to buy her a first class ticket, but Maggie, who was of a frugal turn of mind and could not realize Pat's change of condition, would not come over in any berth above second class. Now. it happened that when Maggie reached New Tork Pat was engaged !n matters that required all his atten tion. He sent one of his workmen to meet her, but it happened that tho man was a very stupid person. And as for Maggie, she had never looked upon a town blfer than Killarney, never seen a body of water bigger than the lake on which she had lived and. having always been a housemaid, had no head for taking care of her self. She missed the man who had been sent ts meet her. Fortunately her affairs for passing the Immigrant 1 authorities were in first class condi- : tlon. and she had no trouble with '. them. But when she was landed at ! tfiA r9.kr.tr tn a ,fmn rra rftv with Tin ftnA to tell her where to go, her heart sank within ner. Some one looked in a directory for her and found the address oil Pat's shop. Then be put Maggie and ber belongings on to a trolley car, told her to ask for a transfer, take another line and so mystified her that she didn't know what to do. Riding up the etreet, she saw floating in the breeze the green banner of Ireland, harp and all. It was a welcome sight. When the car reached a broad thoroughfare it was stopped by a crowd. Maggie got out and waa told a procession was about to pass. Borne one Invited ber to get up on a stoop, where she could see, and she accepted. Presently she heard music coming, and a man on horseback approached. He wore a "grasshopper coat" and a silk hat, and a green sash covered with rosettes hung from bis left shoulder. "Arrab, mush la," exclaimed Maggie, "it's my Pat!" There was Pat sure enough caracol ing as marshal of a dozen or more Irish societies celebrating St. Patrick's day. "Pat." cried Maggie, "It's good lock I've seen you." Pat could not have heard her, but at that moment he happened to turn bis eyes toward her and sawder gesticu lating at him. He rubbed bis eyes end, being satisfied that she was really his Maggie, waved his baton for a halt, threw himself from his horse and el bowed his way through the crowd to ward her. Then when the grand mar shal took the Irish immigrant In bit arms and smothered ber with kisses a shout arose from a thousand throats. After the wedding, which occurred the same evening. Pat remembered the letter he had brought for her cousin Bridget. He was about to band it to her wbeu he checked himself. "What's in it anyway?" he said . Tearing it open, be took out a flv pound note. Maggie had supplied him with her savings, hoplnr when he reached the foreign shore aTa did not find Bridget he would nse it. This time when P,at took Maggie to his arms a tear tood in his eye.

Men live , better by giving than tbey do by getting, when the giving is guided by goodness: when men get and won't spend they labor for other men who will when they are gone to their graves. Iearn to be silent once in awhile, excepting In yonr thoughts seek soli tude where you may let your Imagina tion fly; man learns himself best when alone and when away from th rest. Danger ceases to be a terror to the man with courage; without courage, man in the face, of danger suffers from fear of the thing that hss not yet touched hi ni. When you try to look devout but continue to hold your thoughts on greedy gain, your seat in the church pew won't benefit you tho church sptre will not enspire you. When you allow fear to spring up in your mind you pollute the foun tain of good cheer in you; fear brings chaos and makes you unable to choose. Hold your head up hish and br quick in your determination to do never question your power, for hesi tation is the "halter"' that will hans you.
