She had been playingjvith a pet kitten on the verandah. The mother went out to look for her in the yard, and was horror-stricken on passing the window of the dining room to discover Eva's two little kid boots stick-A ing out from the rain barrel. The barrel was sunk in the ground and was full of water. The child, it is supposed, was chas- iag the kitten and stumbled head-rst into the barrel. With her own hands Mrs. New- sham drew out the little lifeless form. The ' child was dead, the doctors say, two min- utes after falling into the barrel. On two former occasions little Eva had narrow another time by being run over.-News Letter. ` The real fact, then is that the loan. in- stead of going' to the public, went to the Canadian banks, who never expected to get it, and who have now to get rid of it on the investing public as best they can. -To- ronto World. .to take up the bonds with -the deposits now Mr. F1eld1ng"s Loan. -From information now at hand it is ap- parent that the Dominion loan of $10,000,- 000, recently oated on the London market. was not the success claimed for it by the Ottawa Government and its friends. The loan was a failure to the extent that the in- vesting public of London took little or none of it, and no loan can be considered a suc- cess at any gure unless the public come in ` freely and take it. Over three fourths ot the loan will have to be taken up by the Canadian banks, who bid for it on the un derstanding that none of it would be allot- ted them, that the public would take itall at a gure higher than their bids. Mr. Courtney, the Deputy Minister of Finance, came up to Toronto, got the bank and loan company managers together and told them how well it would look if the Canadian nancial institutions put in .for the loan. The managers got it into their heads that ' the public would outbid them. But this was not the case, and our banks will have in their vaults. Later on, they may beable to work the bonds off on the public, but that will take time. Lt People aingid be careful not to start ` also reports.` 7 ,.__-_ - _---...._,.

The old soldier was summoned to explain hisnancial `circumstances to the c untvjudge, and being releasediand ordered to-'ap-,`ear again. Between the date of his release` and the time xed for his second ap Benson seems to have chosen suicide as his only way of escape from the tender mercies of the Ontario law. This in- cident is a sad commentary upon the Hon. A. S. Hardy s boasts last session that there is no such thing as imprison- ment for debt in Ontario. The law` which Mr. Hardy praised and justied and strengthened by his amendment to the Division Oourts Act may be cruel . and inhuman in its workings. The judgment summons system never drives t the habitual dead heat to suicide. It i does enable creditors to work upon the . feelings of poor and sensitive men. ' This law which the Hon. A. S. Hardy praised last session is the keystone of a system which called upon a county judge to imprison a poor old man for debt, and the dread ofbeiug againtent to jail because he could not meet his nancial obligations drove `this man to ' suicide.--Packet.
