Presently he said: "I will teend tomorrow for I.jinan D. Gilbert." 'This interview with Gilbert occurred In the mansion In my absence. He was not prone to giving unnecessary confidence and what then occurred. neither ho nor Gil bert ever Informed me. I saw him later and this was his suggestion: McCollum was a Democrat.

HOUSING IMPROVEMENTS To tlie Editor of the lUening Public Ledger: Sir The plans being made for housing the emplojes at Hog Island, as reported In your paper, bring to mind that we have other housing questions to settle, and It seems as though a change might be made In tho con struction of buildings In certain purts of the city with great advantage. New buildings could be erected In the retail business sec tions with two, three or four lower floors set apart for business purposes, and above them six to twelve stories devoted to apart ments, with elevators and modern conven iences for housekeeping, tenting at from $50 to tSO per month. Such buildings would ap peal to many persons who wish to live tn the business section near their work, would In a measure relieve the congestion of traffic on Ihe car lines and would give a new lease of llfo to parts of" the city that are now dead after nightfall.

To seek mild lecrcation at a show That draws tho common folk from far an' wide, My watchful cyo has noted, more an' more, How close upon the laughter comes the sigh; An how, beneath the shadow of tho war, The "Mother, homo an' Heaven btuff" gets by. A singer makes his bow upon the stage An' strives to put some classic bit across. Theio's not a chance on earth to win his wage, Tor nil his straining proves a total loss.

I usedto like tho jester who would jibe At 'what he called "the obvious ap peal"; I chuckled with the keen, sarcastic scribe Who wounded where he couldn't help or heal. But they are not the men they used to be. They move me not. I'm not "a hand to cry," But even with n hardened cuss like me Tho "Mother, home an' Heaven stuff" gets by. Oh, ye who write an' ye who sing our songs, . Tear not to pin your heart upon your sleeve. The wit that to n colder ..iood belongs Aim not at breasts where quick emo tions heave.

WAR IN THE FAMILY An IntcreBtlng story is t,old In "The Escape of a I'rlncets Pat," by Corporal George Eus tace Pearson. Canadians from tho Ypres salient were not popular In German territory. A scant dozen, all that had been captured from a particularly bloody section of trench, had faced the promlne of every soft of death on their journey baolt of tho ilnes. They had lain tn a shell hole and been sniped for hours; then had been menaced with daggers, and once with an ax; they had watched while one of their number had his hand blown off by a pistol placed against the palm. Now at length they were lodged In a church with other prisoners w altlng for distribution. The church had been used as barracks and sta ble, nnd tho floor was covered wim fllthy straw. The men were horrible with accu mulated dirt and blood. , Upon this scene the door opened to admit a German staff officer with his retinue. lis came to Inquire If there were present any ot the Canadlun'regiment of the Princess Pa tricia of Connaught A few stood "up, straw and refuse sticking to their uniforms; others merely turned over to look. 'The l'rlnces Patricia Is my niece," the officer "spoke, pleasantly. "She Is a nice girl ; I hope I shall see her soon."
