Sir Wilfrid.

The Waterbury Republican has this
to say of Canada’ 3 p1 emier: SiI Wilfl id
Lauder, Canada’s premier said
good-bye to his friends in Ottawa day
before yesterday and started for VVash-
ington. He arrived in the American-
capital yesterday and during the next
few days he will hold a batch of confabs
.with President McKinley on questions
of mutual interest.'We aretglad Sir Wil'
frid has come'down this way. Several
controversies ’twixt Canada and the
United States are now on the diploma-
tic. slate. Sir Wilfrid wants to have
them amicably sponged off. So does
P-esident McKinley. A personal con-
ference is the most direct and most ef-
fective way of getting the controversial
features ofethe interliational problems
boiled down'to an irreducible minimum.
The premier’s visit is of great import-
ance and of- deep inte1 est.

Sil Wllf11d 1s a Frenchman who was
born 1n Canada and raised an English-
man. With equal facility he can talk
the tongue that is spoken in Paris 01
speak the language that is used in the
British parliament. He is 56 years old
and a. gentleman. ‘He has a gracious
and winning personality, and while it
wouldn’t behard to quarrel with his
views, anybody who could hate him
would be a fit subject to be shot on the
spot. His nature is lovable and amia-
Vble and he must carry about with him
a jar of honey and a torch, for he's
everlastin‘gly emitting sweetness and
light. He keeps in a stock of supply of
the indefinable stuff Which we Call per-
sonal magnetism. He is proprietor of
that quartet of qualities which were
happily hitched together byghackery

Why is it so many women can find so

«much to tell their husbands concerning
the unpleasant occu1rences of the day,
and so little about ’the pleasant ones.
._ Belt buckles are being utilized as

Mutton Pies—Half a pound of flour,
one and a half ounces of lard, three-
quarters of a gill of water, salt, pepper,
thr ee-quar tel s of a pound of mutton.
Put the flour in a basin and add apinch
of; salt; boil the lard and water, and

make in a dough, working well. Take a
piece of this dough and flatten it; have
a block in the size of a pie, and of the
kind used for shaping them; work the
paste on it about an inch up the side of
the block; take it off and leave to get
hard, then cut lids to fit the pies; cut
the mutton in littlebits, season and put
tablespoonful of water in it: mix all.
Fill the cases, wet the edges, put on
the lids, brush with milk and bake half
an houl.

SemOlina Pudding. —Two tablespOon-
iuls of semolina, one pint of milk, one
tablespoonful of sugar, one egg, half a
teaspoonful of vanilla or essence of
lemon,» half an ounce ‘of butter. Put
the semolina into'a saucepan and allow
to stand for half an hour; then put on
the fire and stir till it boils. When
boiled, draw aside and let it simmer
for ten minutes. Take from the fire,
add sugar, flav oring, evgh elk) put the
white into a basin, whisk to a stiff
froth and add salt. Mix with othel in-
gredients in pans and blown in the
oven for a qua111te1 of an how.

HOW ’GENE FIELD GOT CREDIT.

“’Gene Field made this old town
hum when he was here,” said an old
timer to a Denver Times man. “You
never knew when he would play sOme
practical joke on his friends. The
story of his pranks with the stuffed
man, which he threw out of 3. Tribune
window, has often been told, but the
little jokes in his life are cherished in
the memory of all who knew,him. Of
course, the pace made by Field,,Skiff,
Rothacker and the others was a fast
one, and each and all were hopelessly
in debt to every merchant in the city.
One ’day ‘,Skiff said to Field: ‘Gene,
you’re looking pretty shabby from your

after this fashion—“Truth” and honor,
freedom and courtesy.” His instincts ‘
, are chivalrous and gentlemanly, his
tastes scholarly, 'his‘lsympathies a yard
wide and devoid of shoddy. Nobodv
ever detectedia fly speck on his integ-
rity. He has an extraordinar v gift of
Speech and he is sometimes called the'
“silvel-tongued, ” which is different
. from beingEfree-silver-tongued. ' 1
Sir Wilfrid was unanimously chosen I
. leader of the Liberal party in Canada
in 1891 after Edward Blake had been
obliged, by delicate health, to throw
up the job. As a leader 'he seeks to at?
tract and he doesn’t use thelash. He’s
an example'of the difference between
being a leader and beluga boss. With ‘
the polish of diplomacy he aims by

honorable conciliation to convert e1:-l

- mities into friendships. He inspires
enthusiasm among his followers. He
‘is passionately devoted to Canada and
a large part of Canada is passionately
devoted to him. -VVith his big heart
goes a big brain. and he is a masier 'of
ypnbllc questions. One of his gleat fads
and ambitions is to secure a clOse cem-
mel cial alliance with the United
States, and no kind of reciprocity be-
tween Canada and the United States
can reciprocate too much to/suit him. .

We trust that-Sir"W’il’-f11'id will have
one

a- jolly time in Washington and that
the international adjusting ploceSSes

will operate without creaking. VVher- ‘

ever he sees fit to come down this 11.11,
whether on business or pleasure bent,
we shall take great pleasure in giving
him one of. the best free advertisements
we have on hand at the time.

Among the novel occupations of th .-

“"S that so?’ says 'Gene. ' ‘Well,

The crowd fOllOWed him and were
looking in the windows of Alkir‘e’s

tried on one shoe, and it seemed all
right, and then the other, and then he

In the old days the store’ 5 floors

A Little Story with a 111.; Moral.

Here is a very old still-y that has
been told time and time again, but that.
will bear telling again:

A man asked his neighbor why he
was so careful to save a. certain old
horseshoe. The neighbor replied:

“I may find the other three shoes."

“And what then?"

V “I may then find the horse which can
them?” 1'

“And what, will you do then?”

“Why, I, will build a stable for him."

“No, you won’t. Your horse'might
kick my. children, ‘and so I won't have
a stable near my house.”

"Yes you will, if I choose to build
.“No I won’t."

“Yes you will."

And then they began to fight like
cats and dogs. —Golden Days.

“We wish our men to use good lan-
guage. It makes a great difference
with us whether a

never attended even a district school.
In order that. there may be no con-
fusion, we have. ordered conductors to
