There are so- many methods of evading them. The chicken oath is one sometimes ad ministered in courts of law and others consist in burning one ' nam. on a piece of paper. Either is as binding as kissing the Bible, th oath administered commonly in Canadian courts of law. It i usually noticed that in a court of law a foreigner is allow ed all sorts of latitude not accorded to a Canadian, simply because he i a foreigner and is not expected to know. We suggest that when a man collie's to live in Canada one of his first duties is to learn the language and then to try to keep out of law courts, at any rate until he understands the customs and usages of the country. Any man who has been 'in the country a year should be expected to know a good deal about the English language.

Last week an American horse would hats? won the Grand National Steeplechase but for a Uttle slip which threw the horse and allowed an English horse of no, particular merit to slip in first. What was the reason? All through life we find these little happenings changing our whole life trend. The slightest things have big influence. Sometime the influence is for good and sometimes, as with the Americar horse, it causes loss of fame, prestige and money. We are to some extent creatures of fate but also we have a larfe measure of control over our own destinies. COURTEOUS Mil. HENNETT (Victoria Times) In Uje House of Commons the other day Hon. R. 11., Rennett asked Premier King If he could give him any information as to the pro-gres of the discussions regarding the St. Lawrence project. The leader of the government advised his friend opposite that nothing could be safely disclosed at the present time. With a due appreciation of the circumstances, the courtesy shown by Mr. Bennett am! the graciouaness with which he accepted Mr. King's statement. The Toronto Star observes, "were worthv of the finest traditions of Parliament." Our eastern contemporary reminds us that the manner of the Conservative leader was quite at variance with that of some of his more violent newspaper supporters, who almost suggest that there is something? sinister about the secrecy enshrouding the discussion go ing on between the governments of Canada and- the XJlme3 States.
