Casey and Riley agreed to settle their disputes by a fight, and it was understood that whoever wanted to stop the fight should say, “Enough.” Casey had Riley down and was hammering him unmercifully paying no heed to Riley’s frantic cries of “Enough.” “Say, why don’t you let him up? Can’t you hear him say ‘Enough?” cried a bystander. “Sure,” replied Casey, “but he’s such a liar you can’t believe him.” He—Are you fond of Kipling? She—I really don’t know. How do you kipple? One day a man, while walking along a country road, stopped to lean against a fence and talk with a boy working in a cornfield. “Say, that corn looks kind of green, doesn’t it?” he said. “Yep, that’s the kind we planted.” “It doesn’t look as if you will get more than half the crop,” said the man. “Don’t expect to. The landlord gets the other half.” After a long pause the man said: “Say, boy, is there much difference between you and a fool?” “Nope, only the fence.” WRONG NUMBER Senior (coolly, to a Primary who has just picked up her handkerchief) —Thank you! But if I should happen to drop it again, please don’t bother!! It wasn’t meant for you!!! 25

Wealthy Aunt—Now, remember, Hugh, you are to be one of my executors. Nervous Nephew—Er—certainly, aunt; any time you like. 24

ORATORICAL SPLASHES “Canada is crossed by two railways. The first of these, the C.P.R., was built by Donald Smith. On account of the strength that this task required, he was known as the “Strathcona Horse.” The second, the G.T.P., was completed in 1837, Prince Rupert driving the last spike.” The tales of western explorers are most fascinating. Here we read of Fraser, Simpson and the daring W. L. Mackenzie King, who was the first to sail to the mouth of the river to which he gave his name. “Canada is a land with a glorious future. It is adapted to agri¬ culture, yielding large crops of peaches, oranges, bananas, wheat, sugar cane and cotton. There are excellent transportation facilities for these products. Thousands of bushels of grain are stored annually in the elevators at Fort William Henry on Lake George, whence they are shipped east by the lake route, passing Niagara Falls by the famous Panama Canal.
