Profit ‘Taking Halts Rise In M a r k e t s

TORONTO, Oct. 2S--(C.P.)-The frenzied scramble for gold stocks was tempered today by a contag- ious impulse to nick off some of the palpcr profits but up on three lays of sensational advances. The result was a flow of selling orders that brought the rise to‘ a nalt this afternoon and put some of the leaders behind minus signs. The rest of the mining llct wee gener- ally strong and on the Toronto exchange there werefour times as mnny gains as recessions and the tone was firm at the close.

PARTNERSHIP

When Bowser reached Vancouver McBride was in New Westminster. and the new arrlvel suggested to his opponent of college days the two might do much in politics. Thus began a partnershp which was the basis of a government which endured from 1903 to 1816 under the leadership of Premier McBride (later Bir Richard) and in its closing days with Premier Bow- ser at its head. l-le had been At- torney-General from 190'! to 1916 and in I909 and 1910 was Finance Mriister. He sat in the Legislat- ure from 1897 to i924.

1908 CAMPAIGN

The wmmign of 100a when Mr. Bowser led the Conservative tick- et in Vancouver through a strenu- ous campaign, laid the way for for- mation of c. Conservative Govem- merit. Political power in the Pmv- inoe has fallen Conservative or Liberal in subsequent electcns. w. Bowee c Government was de- fected in the election of 1916 and he personally lost his seat in the Legislature in i924. I-Ie retired from public life in 1926 when a Conser- vative convention at Kamloops deadlocked over the choice of him of Leon Ladner, former M. 9,, m; Vancouver South, Hon. S. F. Tol. mic now Premier was chosen lead- er.

Bowler withdrew from the leadership of the movement in order that it night join with a Iroup of Independents who also favored s. non-partisan government but were ewinwnlv opposes to the Unionist administration of Prem- ier ‘Ibimie.

PARIS, Oct. 25—Plump, bald Senator Albert Serraut, the “fath- er of the French colonial empire," sought tonight a. way to set up I stable ministry .in the face of an unbalanced budget.

In choosing the list of subjects for the series Dr. Legato said he was endeavouring to pick out men who were masters in their own cle- partinent of life and service, repre- sentative in the line of devotedness to their Saviour that each took up.

The Venerable Bede is all that in three respects. He was one of the fathers of the English Bible, having translated part of the Latin into An- glo-Saxon. He was also father of English history. He wrote the first history of England from the time of Julius Caesar to his own day. J. R. Green the historian says that he was also the father of rlationaleducation. For those three reasons it is well to know something of Bede.

He was handed ‘over by his family to the monastery of Jarrow, County Durham, England, at the age of sev- en years, and it is hard to appreci- ate the advantages that came to a boy of seven who had a taste for learning, that he should be brought up in the Benedictine monastery, Those were the days before the church and its monasteries had and the lists checked and re-check- STOWB Wilfldly- Th8 mbilflfiterlec ed for omissions and possible errors. were a haven of rest, and a place , of quiet orderllness, of peaceful re- nmndgorne n4", Award"; finement, of honest labour, and of devout worship.
