THE SIGN OF FAILURE, The departmental examinations are fover, and there are a good many anxi- ous hearts. And there are quite a few that are not anxious. These are in that indifferent class who idle away most of the study season, who show no ,8ppreciation of the teacher's work, who will try every new member of the staff and make his life as miserable as possible. For a long time current re- port had it that some of the candi- dates would be up against it when the testing time came around.

They do not want the moving pictures of the prize fight to be put on exhibition. All decently dis- posed persons appear to be ashamed of the event at Reno. Even Jefiries himself, howed shame, has in gone off to his home in Southern California and seems to be anxigis to forget about his meeting with Johnson as soon as possible.

So rough and uncalled for was his usage that he made a complaint about it, and the matter was referred in due course to the dominion immigration agent at New York. That officer has reported that the proceedings were not marked, in 'this man's case, by anything un- usual, which makes the Hamilton Her- ald express its surprise, "Is it to be understoodi" says our contemporary, "'that the customary procedure at the port of New York, in the cases of Canadians who are re: turning home from Furope by way of New York, is for the United States immigration officials to insult and browbeat them, fo hang huge labels on them, to subject them to rigid medi- cal examination, to put them into tug- boats and dump them on Edis Island, and keep them imprisoned there for hours without. food. If this is so Ca nadians who visit Earope would do well to steer clear of New York when they return home." A mild protest to-say the least of it. Had any Kingstonian shown a similar disregard for Canadian inter- ests and suffered in tonsequence.! the Whig would have been inclined to say, "Served you right."

According to the Farmers' Advocate the present Commissioner of Agricnl- ture was selected because he could be re-elected, not. because he had any ideas he. could spread with satisfac tion. When the farmers' papers have no 'se for Mr. Duff it is time he pack- {ed his grip. The Ottawa Journal is impressed with the fact that Sir Wilirid Laurier would not spend 'a #ouple of montis in the west except on political busi- ness.

There are hushands in Kingston, he says, who wish that the good doctor would get into the wit- ness box and declare that they were insane when they wedded their wives, and secure release for them.

He was staying at the Iroquois hotel, and got away without paymg his bill. At a' Prinedss street store he ordered a large number of articles, which he was to call for, and incidentally borrowed | half a dollar from the mapager to pay a black- smith who was unable to cash his cheque. He failed to come for the goods or to return the money.
