Ill the vernacular of the cataloger ; of autograph letters, A.L.S. stands fcl- “Autograph Letter Signed." Not long ago a lady approached Dr, A. S. W, Rosenbach, noted bibiiophile, and asked to be shown solne Lincoln Letters. The, doctor mentioned. .ather airily, an A.L.S. treasure he possessed, and hcreupoll exhibited before her intclested eyes the only letter ill which Lincoln swore. It was addressed to Joilll T. Stuart. his law partner, dated Vandnlia, February 14, 1849, and rail: “Ewing won't do anything. He is not worth ll damn. “Your friend. “A. Lincoln." After rcaciillg it, says Dr. Rosen- bacll <ln his menloil-s, “Books and Bidders“), the lady exclaimed; “I know what you mean by A. L I did not understand you a‘. first. You llleail Abraham Lincoln swore."

Ollc day years ago, Dean Stanley of Westminster Abbey, was guiding Mary Anderson (“Our Mary") around the abbey. The old nlar. paused ill the south transept beforc the mural tablet to the‘ learned Issac Casauboll, and said llc would, show her the only piece of vandal- ism ill the abbey that he was evcl disposed Lo forgive. Then he laid his fingers ill a caressing way upon a part of the tablet ivhere had bee: scratched, evidently tvith a nuii, the 2Il8.l"r1(3(0l'S “I W. 1658."

It seems that some years before. reading vol-y late one flight a book about Isaak Walton, beloved author

Mark Twain was ahead of his day. it seems. He realized as did fcu‘ men of his time, that cruelty to animals is no worse than cruelty to vegetables. The “Mid-West Re- view" dcseribes ll conversation in which tlie great humorist pointed out‘ how some vegetables show their sllf-‘ fering by icnrs. like the onion, some by bleeding. like the bcct. i

which everyone knows exists, and‘ which is driving both inllnigrants and native-born out of the country in hundreds of thousands. MliMac- Kenzle King. in the face of what everyone knows, brazenly declared in tlle course of his speech, that there is less unemployment in Canada at present than in many years past. "Do not advertise it,“~don‘t tell the truth~is the Mackenzie King way, It ls not Canada's way, however, and Canada will not stand for it. The truth may not always be palatable. but, in the end, it proves the better way.

There is something wrong in Can- ada when its people and those who come to it at a cost of millions year- ly. cannot stay here. Instead of cov- ering up and denying it. the thing to do is to honestly admit it and set about correcting it. This can‘ be done, for there is no country m? the world that has greater oppor-l tunities or greater natural resources

than Canada. but. correction can co

never come through deceit and coli- oeslment. Mr. Mackenzie King has more than once shown why it is time for a change at Ottawa and he never made it clearer than in his speech in reply to Mr. Bennett, and
