Engineer Rainboth, who gave startling evidence in the Publie Ac- . counts Committee concerning graft- ing operations in supplying the sur- vey parties engaged in the Georgian Bay survey, has been engaged to work with the International Boun dary Commission. This officer came out of the invéstigation with great' credit. He showed that he did his best to prevent the payment of excessive prices for horses, sleighs 'and robes. He made strong repre- gentations to his immediate superior and even carried the case to the ty Minister, though he did it without success. A PRIVATE BRIBE "The offer of a $100 coon skin coat to this engineer with a receipted in woice, from the man whose claim was pending, only made Mr. Rain- Doth more firm. He returned the goods and told the Deputy Minister of the attempted bribe, The strange part of this affair was the indiffer- ence of Deputy Minister Gobeil who told the Public Account Committee that this seemed to be a private matter with which he had no call to interfere, One would like to know how many other private matters of this kind occur in the settlement of public accounts in the Marine De- 'partment. * A team of Oshawa Bowlers visit- ied Peterboro on Wednesday and participated in a contest with the English Bowlers who are making a a tour through Canada.

A conductor on the St. Louis and Suburban railroad had such a good run of business Sunday afternoon that had difficulty In keeping himself plied with small change. Many pas- sengers who patronized his car handed him dollars and ills of larger denpmi- nations In payment of their fares. "The conductor, however, managed to 'get along fairly well until 'a Wwondan carry. ing a tiny infant boarded his car. When he approached the woman for ber fare she handed him a five dollar bill. "Is that the smallest you have, mad- am?" queried the conductor, fearing another stringency in change. The woman looked at the conductor and then at her baby and made this surprising reply, "Yes; I have been married only twelve months." : Sat Men, Wo Tact has always been "4 peculiar attribute of woman. "With a woman's tact" is one of the stock phrases of the novelist. Buf a writer in one of the American magazines-- and his view is upheld by an English magazine which guotes him--upsets this tradition by declaring that men are more often tactful than women. Men, it is submitted, are swift to know when to speak and whén not to speak--when it is wise to even & look--and that is why a medi- ocre man will succeed when even a clever woman will fail, why men are greater in diplomacy, in all things that require finesse. Still it is a question whether men really succeed better in diplomacy. What about the woman who is the "power behind theghrone?" For dry, cracked lips, or rou h skin, use Dr Shoop's Green Salve.
