His timid mother gave permission on the condition that he**would not get into a canoe while away, as she was afraid of it upsetting. The bov promised, though reluctant ly and at the end of ten days came the following letter: Dear Mother.—l'm having the best kind of a time and I don't mind a bit about the canoe Yesterday was the only day I really wanted to try one, for wo were going across a little lake to another tamp. But they've been teaching me how to swim and Ned said he and 1 could swim across and let the other four take the canoes, and so tl'o other four took the canoes, and so we did and swam back again too. Wasn't thatgreat? Then 1 knew you'd be pleased to think I remembered my promise. Your affectionate son, George. Down With the Pessimists. Tea Messenger has a kick coming— or ratiier going.

The use that the Democrats of Cameron county, including the party organ, try to make of their various platforms brings to mind a story told by Congressman Allen, , of Mississippi, about a conductor who remonstrated with a passenger for standing on the platform of a I car when the train was runnincr fifty miles an hour. The passerger thought he had some rights in the matter, and indignantly asked what in Halifax a platform is for anyway. ; 'A platform," replied the conductor, "is not made to stand on; it is made to get in on.'"

As used by us last week, the word i "fatuous" means "controlled by ill- j advised impulse." We do not stand ; for the definitions quoted by the Inde- j pendent. There is, moreover, a dif- j ference between calling a newspaper fatuous and saying that it sometimes does fatuous things.
