'.l`l1o- Log Home: Hos`: ! roIts'hls--'l'Io Session-hbont ~ - `tol|eIu'. . . _ .'I`hc're is" joy in Ottawa. _The date of" the` reassembling .of- Parliamentj has, been -announced, and the Capital is beginning to `wake up. `There are four seasons; in other places in this- great country, ' but there are only two -_-in Ottawa. `They are the ses- sion and the recess. say s`The _Toron-. to News. One day the guns boom -forth on Nepean Point and the Gov- -ernor-General, rs-tly in nice Eng- lish. and, secondly; in French . ol` sorts. sends the legislators -home, to consider their conduct during the scsi Vsion. ' Then Ottawa--or.a large part of it-shuts up shop. The town he- comes quiet almost to.dull_ness, and the shopkeepers count up their pro- iits, . undisturbed by any clamorous rush of customers. Not that the city is not alive, but the rsessional busi- ness and - `commercial hnsiness are two different propositions, as our Dawson friends would say. The sec- sional crowd is a community by it- .self._ It is known only slightly by the Ottawa man; it hangstogether, lives together. talks together, and 3 sometimes`drinls together. It is a small organization numerically... but` it is the lot that Qttawa tradesmen wait for.` " And they make good mon-'_ ey when the sesslonal crowd arrives. ` some Ieulenol contrasts. V . _ ~ - The importance of the sessions!- crowd is great. Its members are honored being; compelled to pay `perhaps fifty per. went. more thsnaot-' tows . folk do for anything. which they require. It is the rm convic- tion of the average Ottawa, resident that pretty nearly everybody who visits the city in the days when Per- liament is working has money to burn. It is 0; fact also that most people whiim you shall find in the Capital during the `session have en- ough of -the necessary collateral to make e. very fair front. But there `are exceptions. Every year. `when, Parliament assembles. you shall nd some scores of men, hungry-eyed, ex-. pectant. buttonhollng members and making life a constant worry to them- These-are the candidates -for sessional jobs. A They have come to Ottawa on a search for posts as mes- sengers and sessional writers, `and they know just what they could do with the three dollars a. day that such ofllelals receive. Most of them. it is sad to say, never get farther than the candidate stage. They wait. and wait _until they are weary, and then hie themselves homeward. 5-"*.*':`A.,.,.", ., ., yd " '1. .`-the!-""15o.`sved ` "bid makers. of ' on V V G_a.f|i.i__nViip.'ox`1_r`o'1' .`h'a_fraeto1"..e o:t'-it'io ivhoe ;aahy- "are.;ann0t-`wt na:ie11l'tA` -we cannot ,rendgr t;oo ~:,;'1nut:l1 =resp`eot.:. ~ `They `acquired .`v_,;lr't'.n e8 "which, the". di's-_-' icipline og, we ,at, ,pre.sept does not, eall out. ,.'l`hey[ had need .Tfo_r more` 91iroases.hmoreorivatience. :5 more re- Jourceftulness, more strength` of body and of will. ; than theindesccndnnts.
