LAUGHED AT PNEUMONIA IDEA
Lord Strathcona,Had Not Thought for
Illness When Business Interests
Made Their 8upreme Call.
As has been aptly said, Lord
Strathcona was “studiously careless”
about his health. His chief afflic
tion was “colds,” and it is a wonder
that, through his imprudences, they
did not lead to serious illness.
An old Montreal friend, M. C. R.
Hosmer, who is quoted in Mr.
Beckles Willson’s “Life of Lord
Strathcona,” recalls a typical inci
dent that happened nearly twenty
years ago.
Lord Strathcona was declared to
be very ill and threatened with
pneumonia. His private car was or
dered to be got ready for a trip to
Florida. He learned suddenly that
his presence might be useful in Win
nipeg, where the Manitoba school
question had come to the front.
Without saying a word to his doctor
or to anyone, he ordered his car to
be attached to the Winnipeg train,
and off he went. Lady Strathcona
was greatly alarmed, and came to
my office the next morning. I wfti
then general manager of the Cana
dian Pacific Railway telegraphs. We
found out that he was as far as the
north side of Lake Superior at the
time, and that it was 30 degrees be
low zero there. The night after he
arriyed in Winnipeg he gave a ban
quet to the bishop of St. Boniface.
When he returned to Montreal, I
spoke to him of how deeply con
cerned, not to say alarmed, Lady
Strathcona had been. He smiled
and said, “Yes, I remember that
cold morning. I had to break the
ice in the pitcher when I got up.”—
Youth’s Companion.
SHORTAGE OF STORM RUBBERS.
The recent bad weather has
brought to light the fact that there
is a shortage of rubbers, says the
Baltimore News. Folks who hastened
to the nearest shoe or department
shop for storm rubbers when the
snowstorm hove in sight discovered
in many cases there were no rub
bers to be had, storm or otherwise.
In other stores small sizes could be
obtained, but the man or woman
with feet of average or slightly more
than average size, as a rule was
greeted with the information that
we re out of your number at pres
ent, and I don’t know when we’ll
have them in again?”
“The reason?” a wholesale rubber
jobber repeated. “They simply didn’t
make ’em. Most of the rubber
goods, you see, are made in New
England. It also happens that the
largest number of munition factories
are up there, and they pay big wages
and are consequently taking the help
away from the rubber factories.”
ENGLAND'S RUSTY WINDOWS.
At his farewell to Eton the other
day, Doctor Lyttleton said that one
of the reforms on which he prided
himself was that he had got 16 of the
chapel windows open; “and he want
ed them to note that these windows
had been shut for four hundred and
fifty years.” It is a concise apologue
of the time.—London Observer.
A surveyor from the State
Highway Department will be
here Tuesday to complete the
survey for the new proposed
rock road from Fakes to Fair
Oaks and which extends two
miles north and two south from
McCrory.
“These eggs are strictly fresh?
You are quite sure?”
“Yes, sir. The chef’ boiled them
for himself and hadn’t time to eat
them, sir.”
BENEATH HIS DIGNITY.
“Did the prisoner offer any re
sistance ?”
“Only a dollar, your honor, and I
wouldn’t take it.”
A WONDER.
<rWhat do you think of a man
who will constantly deceive his
wife ?”
“I think he’s a wonder.”
WAR BUSINESS.
Guest (cheap chophouse)—What
do you charge for hash?
Waiter (shouting)—Gent wants

Harry—May I kiss you?
Maude—Isn’t that just like a

sibility on me.
WRONG PLACE.

Book Agent—Are you interested
in good literature, sir?
