For instance, he would enjoy all the byâ€"play that reâ€" sulted from the naming of the handsome and disâ€" tinguished men in the House of Commons as outâ€" papers can can. Most newspapermen will envyy the Timmins gentleman who subscribes and reads Hansard. Envy him because he has the money to subscribe. Having discovered a gentleman who subscribes for Hansard and reads it, there is hope of the possibility that someone, not a lawyer and not in politics, or the tax sale business, may read The Ontario Gazette. But, perhaps, that is asking too mhuch. ‘It may be a quaint taste that tempts a man to subscribe for and read Hansard from issue to issue, but the local gentleman certainly must gain a lot of knowledge and have a lot of fun.. A gentleman meeting,a lady at a public dance for the Aime, gomally asked her for a kiss as they sat mg! for the next dance. The lady was insulted, highly: indignant, but the genial gentleman explained that she should not be offended, as no offence was meant, and he was not treating her any differently to any other lady he met. "Why I ask every woâ€" man I meet for a kiss," he said,. ‘"You do?" re-! sponded the lady, "then you must get a lo6t Of:stern | rebufls." "Oh, yes!" he answered, "but I get a lotl of nice kissing, too!" Anyone reading Hansard| has to wade through pages of wind and slush and, mud, but he will get a lot of wit and humour and | information and brilliant thought for his per51st- ence. The racy reports in the newspapers give a good idea of the addresses in parliament. They cover the main points, perhaps, but much of the background is missed, and there is always a brilâ€" liant spot or two in the passages that are overlook-! ed. Hansard would be worth reading for a few| of the outstandirig addresses it contains every| session. Addresses by Hon. R. B. Bennett, Hon. Mackenzie King, Hon. H. H. Stevens, Hon. Mr. Cahan, and a score of others make excellent read-l ing. The interjections and interruptions by other| members religiously interspersed in the prOperl place by Hansard, add life and interest to the speeches. Often there ara things in Hansard that are not given in the newqunezs, though at the same time it must be admitted that some n papers can get more out of a speech than Hansard The Canadian Hansard comes regularly to all! important newspaper offices in the Dominion.“ Most editors put it away carefully each issue so that it may be available for reference if needed. There have been occasions on which it has been | used for reference, but it must be confessed that its| chief purpose in most offices is to keep dust awayf from other parts of the place. So much dust wil}| ghther on a pile of Hansards that there must be‘ Jjust that much less dust other places in the office. A few of the more adventurous newspaper men actually read Hansard from day to day and they have a lot of entertainment. i+ C ; â€"On the front cover of Hansard there is a line in | small type that is always noted with wonder by! The Advance. The line reads:â€""Price per copy, 5 cents; per session, $3.00." It always seemed that the words, "Believe it or Not," should follow. But they didn‘t! And do not yet! Then this week The Advance encountered a gentleman right here in Timmins who actually subscribes for Hansard. More than that, he subscribes by the year! Andi still more, he reads it, every issue, from cover to' cover. Only it hasn‘t any cover! But anyway reads it all between from where the covers would naturally be! While too many others never ao! more than look at the cover, of which, as said beâ€"| fore, there isn‘t any!

The less the tow or attempting smart p Ratepayers of Timmins, and‘ particularly public | school supporters, were astounded on Tuesday at | the proposition seriously put forward by Mayor Bartleman and Roy Dunbar to the Ontario Railâ€" way and Municipal Board. The proposal was to the effect that the school board be allowed to sell | the Central public school to the town for a town hall and that two new public schools be built elseâ€" gwhere in town to provide school accommodation. Some months ago when a similar scheme was reâ€" ported as planned in town, the rumour was reâ€" “garded as a piece of rather farâ€"fetched humour. It was not thought that anyone would have the audacity to attempt to put over a scheme so little likely to be of advantage to either the town or the ! schools. In the first place the Central public school is not at all suited for municipal hall purâ€" poses. It would take thousands of dollars to make {even a makeshift town hall of it, and then it lwould only be a makeshift. The town surely has had enough of makeshift town halls. It has alâ€" ready spent more than the price of a suitable town hall in trying to turn an unsuitable building into proper quarters for town purposes. Surely no one wants to foolishly and unnecessarily waste more money trying to turn a school building into a municipal office building, after the lesson that should be learned from the absurd waste in past years in trying to make an old’house look like a new hall. The ratepayers of Timmins voted for the building of a new town hall and not for any costly makeshifts. The suggestion that part of the Central school grounds should be sold for busiâ€" ness purposes is a dangerous and unfair one. It will be a bad day for the town if it is allowed to go into the real estate business in a competitive way of this kind and with the opportunities for injusâ€" tice and unfairness that would arise from such procedure. n ie proper pilate.

Miss Macphail, member for Greyâ€"Bruce, had been indulging in one of her recreationsâ€" "slapping war on the wrist"â€"the other being "sympathizing with those in the penitentary." Then it came the turn of Mr. Dupuis, member for Chamblyâ€"Rouville. He said, in part, according to Hansard:â€""I am against war, of course, but may I say to the hon. member for Greyâ€"Bruce that as long as there are misunderstandings among ourâ€" selves, such as we noticed yesterday in the judgâ€" ments rendered upon members of this house, givâ€" ing rise to envy and jealousy; as long as human nature shows defects and inequalities, it will alâ€" THE PORCUPTINE ADVANCE, TTMMINS, ONTARIO If the items in the newspapers these days are to be believed, the city of Toronto has passed an orâ€" dinance to the effect that all dance halls mus‘ close at eleven o‘clock.
