Artie has never cost hig parents Dick keeps them Artie is a good boy and is pleased when his papa gives but Dick sets up a howl if he doesn’t get the whole dinner service. Paregoric peppermint water, rattles, teeth- ing rings have no effect on Dick. He cries because he likes it and when he doesn't get what he wants the whole neighborhood knows it. Many’s the night the Borden government has sat up with little Dick. Artie, on the other hand, goes to sleep when other people do, takes his food at regular hours and never cries except when a pin a pang, but guessing. him a silver cup, is sticking him or when he has a pain in his little tummy. No- body ever had to walk the floor Artie—h’es a real blessing, But Dick—well Dick is His parents love with so he is, another story. him fop the trouble he makes. Artie and Dick have both been brought up pets, but if I were drawing any distinction I should say that Artie was the white- headed boy and Dick the spoiled child. From the first time Artie put his little hand in Premier Borden’s he hag been father’s joy, always obedient, trustful, af- fectionate, but Dick has been a real care—he has such a temper. When Dick doesn’t like what's handed out to him, he bites and kicks, and gets red in the face and to save the dear child's life they often give him things that are not good for him. Be that as it babies thrived famously. Their methods moy differ, but they get there just the same. In Artie’s case we see thal virtue is considerably more than its own reward and if there is any it is that may both have moral to Dick’s career the kicker Most parents are careful to re- stumbling blocks baby’s path, but from the time he was old enough to creep, Artie was given stumbling blocks to play with, the British North American Act, the Imperial Privy Council decisions and things like that. He would play with them all day and all night and never get tired. How well he played with them you will find in that dear old story book, Hansard, which gives up a lot of space to little.

As he got older and stronger they gave him other things to play with. One of them wag a man named Miller, a state prisoner, and Artie played with him to such purpose that he landed him in Jail for three months. A little player is Artie. Shortly after this Artie began to make moans about rural creditg and the duty on farm machinery and such, and as his political parents knew that Artie never cried unless he was hurt, they concluded that he was not well and that something must be done for him. So they got him a high chair and let him sit at the table with the big folks. After that there was not a peep out of Artie except the merriest prattle about the C. N. R. and high tariff. In fact he was given these as toys, told to play soldier with them, but not to lick the paint off. Artie did better than that. Far from licking the paint off he made them look even prettier, with the sweet words he used. When he was through with them they were al- most good enough to eat.
