o~ wEACE TOUR S THE DAILY BRITISH WHIG, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1917. Duty to the state, when its existence is threatened, as it is to-day, must take precedence over party affilia. tions. THE BRITISH WHIG 4TH YBAR. NOT FAILING--BUT FALLING! The more we read of the second battle of Ypres, of Vimy Ridge and of Passchendaele, the more pride we feel in the achievements of the Can- adians at the front, The more we see of the maimed and broken soldier, sent back to Kingston from the inferno of war, the more pity we feel for him, Nothing will be said by even the most eloquent tongue which can ex- press one-half of the unbounded ad- miration and unstinted love which we all feel in our hearts for the devotion, courage and endurance adian soldier.

Gives Mystery Performafice--Large Audience Monday Evening. Cunning, who is playing this week at the Grand Opera House, had a capacity audience on 'Monday even- ing and gave an entertainment that has never been surpassed here. He is certainly an expert in his various lines and the audience was mystified from start to finish. Perhaps the most interesting part of the programme was his answers to the dozens of questions asked. It was wonderful to see the way in of a man or a woman, give an answer to their questions. Cunning may be practicing one of the advanced sciences; in any case he produces results and is certain to have capacity audiences all week. and finally Who Puts Up the Prices? Potatoes wipe their weeping eyes and wonder why the prices rise. The cabbage, either white or red, in doubt, can only scratch its head. The pea, within its pending pod, is guessing who gets all the wad." The odorous onion peers about and peels its coat to smell it out. The bread and cake rise everywhere to ask why such excessive fare. The lettuce, on its high-priced ways, looks backward to its salad days. All kinds of pies and pastry see too much to pay for piety. The first presents a plaintive tale and wants the price to go by scale. The lobster, oyster, and the clam, quite selfishly don't giveadam. The various brands of flowers in- quire if florists' prices could be higher. The ham and bacon have the gall, to ask who is it hogs it all. Names of the Victims.

There are three contributions in the present issue of the Queen's Quarterly (October; November, De- cember, devoted to the 'honored memory of the late Professor Du- puis. John Matheson shows, just what his majn merit was in the ca- pacity that he ably filled for forty- five vears--that of a teacher of Mathematics, and it was not to im- part formulas and processes merely, but to train the minds of his pupils. Bibbys Men's and Boys' Wear Store When Professor James Ross, on be- half of the old students, presented Prof. Dupuis with is portrait (1901), he said that while those who attend- ed his classes did not remember all the -formulas that he had taught them, they had not forgottén '"'the mental stimulus, the spiritual inspi- ration" derived from his instruction. Professor W. L. Grant wrote from overseas to Prof. Cappon, enclosing some notes and reminiscences of the work in Queen's of Professors Du- puis and Fletcher, suggesting that they be made, in part, the material for a more formal article. But, in- stead of doing so, Professor Cappon wrote an introduction and gave Pro- fessor Grant's reminiscences un- changed. Professor Cappon, whose subject is English Literature, does not ven- ture to estimate Nathan F. Dupuis' work in the world of Mathematics. A great mathematician, according to a learned Frenchman, was known to only five or six Europeans. Dupuis was a man of logical mind, of "calm objectivity of judgment," a '"self- contained man," whose 'best rela- tions were with his favorite stu- dentsy." Professor Cappon, in spite of his disclaimer, has given a very good account of Dupuis as a mathe- matician. It was when he lectured] im, Sizes 34 pleat up the back.

Professor Cappon gives a pleasant portrayal of Professor John (Fletcher, who left Kingston for Toronto, after (as Prin- cipal Grant said) Queen's had "had| the best of him," and of Mrs.| Fletcher. In his '"'Reminiscences," Professor! Grant speaks of the man who taught him to like mathematics--which he considered a marvellous achieve- ment.
