fie Remembered His Promise.
A twelve year old boy was invited
on a camping trip, says an exchange.
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 usual serenity of
his amiable disposition is disturbed by
the blatant sins of Ananias, who are
going about pretendiftg poverty and
buain a stagnation, when there isn't
the slighte->L excaae Cor their pessim
isms. Wh ther they do it editorially
with the pen, or use the same weapon
with which Samson slew the lion, Uiey
are equally culpable and deserve the
condemnation and ridicule of an out
raged publ c. They hurt traijo. They
aro inosquitu of commerce and, like
tho .i pesky i:ir;3cts, t!:ey ".ot only an

What a Platform is For.
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.'"

, would like to know if the Republicans

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.
