TO! UNION
Laurier Advocates ADglo
Saxon Consolidation
Sir. Wilfred Laurler Is strongly
favorable to a union of the Anglo-Sax
on countries ? the United States and
Great Britain and her colonies, includ
ing Canada.
At a recent dinner given Andrew
Carnegie, at Toronto, at which Sir
Wilfred w?s present, Mr. Carnegie
urged the uiion of the people who
speak one language and whose customs
and ideals are so nearly alike. Using
this as a test, the Canadianl premier
went into the c-tse at length. A tele
graphic dispatch describing his speech
says:
"In moving his vote of thanks to Mr.
Carnegie for his address. Sir Wilfred
ssid Mike the guest of the evening, he
also was an imperialist. He firmly be
lieved in the ultimate union of all the
Anglo-Saxon people in a mutual and
voluntary bond. Ho* it would come,
or when it would come, he could not
say. but be was just as sure of its in
evitableness asof the rising of the sun
tomorrow morning.
"Sir Wilfred evoked much enthusi
asm bv eloquently picturing the mean
ing to the bumin race of this inevit
able union of its most progressive and
liberty-loving people. So inevitable
was this desired bond on a common
purpose, he did not resard it as some
thing requiring what might be called
a 'crusade', but simply that the states
men and leaders of the day should be
led to think ot it, and not stand >n the
way of the growinir mutusl understand
ing and appreciation."

J A Matrimonial Sand Bar ?
e
[Copyright, 1906. by I. D. Marshall.] f
When the good wife of Deacon Sam
uel Bradshaw departed this life and
Its trials and tribulations It was Miss
Marj- Jones, spinster, who came ovei
and took charge of things for three or :
four days. She had known the deacon J
and hia .wife for several years, and it :
was reported that when the wife found ?
herself dying she said to Mary:
"I am going to that better land. I
am glad on my own account that I am <?
going, but sorry on Samuel's. He will r
be left, all alone, and how he will get r
his shirts washed, his cooking done and r
his bed made I don't know. You must J
be kind to him, Mary, and a year or J
so after I am gone should he ask you? I
should he ask you"?
But she got no further. After the "J
funeral and as the weeks went by ^
some folks Interpreted this to mean __
that Miss Jones was to many the dea
con If he asked her and others that she
was only to oversee his house.
For ten months the deacon himself
gave no sign of how he personally in
terpreted it Then it was noticed that
he began to walk home with Mary
from church and prayer meeting and
pay her other little attentions. She ^
was living with a brother who was J
married, and by and by the deacon be- ?
came a frequent caller. When a full ~
year had gone by Uncle Joe Tracy, who i
was known to be a pillar of goodness
as well as the biggest gossip in the -?
country, stopped the deacon on the vil- ei
lage street one day to say: J
"Look a-here, Samuel, I'm a-hearin' J
that you are sorter shinin' up to Mary J
Jones." 1
"Well, It's my business if I am," was j
the blunt reply.
"So it is, Samuel? so it is, but don't 1
you make no mistake on Mary Jones. "J
She lived with us for four years when ^
she was a gal, and I'm tellin' you she's 4
got a worse temper than a sore footed
cat" 1
"I hain't seen no signs of it
"And mebbe you won't till you are
married, but it's there, just the same.
She's expectln' to marry you, and she's
as soft and smooth as 'lasses, but
when you are married it will be a dif
ferent thing. She'll let her temper
loose and make your hair stand up."
"I don't believe a word of it, and 1
don't thank ye for your gossip," ob
served the deacon as be broke away.
One moonlight night a week after hi;
taik with Uncle Joe the deacon invited
the spinster out for a row on the river.
It wasn't much of a river nor much ot
a boat and the deacon wasn't much of
a hand at the oars, but it seemed the
proper thing to do under the roman
tic occasion. The whippoorwills were
singing, the harvest moon blinking and
the weeping willows waving then
plumes in the soft night air as they set
out, and everything went well for ten
minutes. Then Miss Jones suddenly
discovered that the boat was leaking
and that she had already got one of hei
feet wet The deacon was sorry, but as
far as he knew ail rowboats leaked,
and people who went out In them had
to make the best of it He bent to his
oars to keep time with the whippoor
wills, but he hadn't been rowing five
minutes when he flirted one of the?
out of the water and at the same time
flirted about a gallon of the briny over
Mary.
"Deacon Bradshaw!" she called out
as she rose up.
"I am sorry, but I couldn't help it."
"But you ought to have helped it It
was very clumsy Jn you. I'm all wet
through, and we must turn back this
minute. I don't believe you know any
thing about a boat"
"If yon hadn't been bobbing around
it wouldn't have happened."
"I wasn't bobbing around. I say I
want to go right back home."
The deacon started to pull the boat
around and lost an oar. In trying to
recover that one he not only came
within an ace of upsetting the boat
but lost the other.
"Why don't you jump out?" shouted
the spinster at him.
"Because the water here Is over my
bead and I can't swim."
"Then what are we going to doi
Deacon Bradshaw, you are nothing but
a blunderer!"
"Nobody could have done any differ
ent You were bobbing this way and
that, and"?
"I wasn't bobbing! Yon ought to be
ashamed of yourself to try to lay it on
to me. Ain't you going to do any
thing?"
"The only thing we can do Is to wait
for the boat to drive ashore."
"And how long will that be?*
"No telling. If you hadn't been talk
ing about the moonlight on the water I
should never have asked you to come
out rowing. I guess you'll get moon
light enough."
Miss Jones didn't answer this taunt.
She kept getting madder and madder,
but she concealed the fact until the
boat finally grounded on a sand bar in
midstream. When they had both
scrambled ashore she found her voice.
She called the deacon names until she
had rattled off a hundred of them. She
expressed her pity for the wife dead
and gone and more pity for the wife to
come. She criticised his personal ap
pearance, his grammar and the shoes
on his feet and she talked so fast that
he couldn't get in a word edgewise. He
stood there and took It for a quarter of
an hour and had just got ready to say
that she was no lady when she plunged
Into the water up to her waist and
waded ashore and called to Wm from
the bank as she set off for home, two
miles away:
"Oh, I'd like to be married to you for
about two hours! Wouldn't I learn yoc
what was what!"
But they never married.
