Riley must have had this in mind when he tells us "the gobbleuns 'll git you ef you t don't look out." A reformer was giving the audience a few home truths. Every now and then he would thump a clenched fist into his palm as he emphasized some vital point in his speech. ~ ~ ~ "You, my dear friends," he said, although you are all above sin, you must beware of the demon. The de- mon is chained to the wall, waiting to jump out and catch you. If you give him the slightest chance hell stretch out his hand in front and grab you! Or he'l stretch out to the right and grab you! Or he'l stretch . out to the left and grab you! Or he'l stretch out behind and grab you!" This was a little too much for a man in the middle row of seats and, rising to his A.et, he shouted: "AVell, the blessed thing might as well be loose." A REKL h!AN A real man never talks about what the world owes him, the happiness he deserves and the chances he ought to have, and all that. All he claims is the right to live and be a man. A real man is just as honest alone in the dark in his own room as he is in public. A real man does not want pulls, tips and favors. He wants work and honest wages. A real man is loyal to his friends and guards their reputation as his own A real man is dependable. I I is simple word is as good as his Bible oath. A real man does a little more than he promises. A real man does not want some- thing for nothing, so the get-rich- quick people cannot use him. A real man always has excuses for others, never for himself. He is patient and charitable to them; to himself he is strict. A real mah is glad to live and not afraid to die. A real man never hunts danger and never dodges it when he ought to meet, it. A real man's love is like a dog' and that's saying a good deal ~ A real man is--well, he is a real man, the finest, best, noblest, most refeshing thing to find on all the ~een earth, unless it be a real wo- man."--The Merchants'ournal and Commerce. Blessings of Quarantine Far too many people see only the dark side of misfortunes; others can easily discern something good in them. Happy and wise is he who can see some good in everything. Said a gentleman to the city author- ities on one occasion; "I wish to thank you for quarantining my family and me recently for three weeks because one of them had smallpox. During that time my wife caught up with her sewing. IVe had three square meals every day, as no one came in and she was not permitted to leave. IVe enjoyed three weeks of good n'ghts'leep, and. best of all, a cousin with four children, who had arranged to visit us, saw the smallpox sign on the door and left town so scared that she will never come back again." ANNUAI IIEETING OF i~IUSICAL SOCIETY TO BE FOLLOWED BY SOCIAL The members of the hIusical Society are reminded that the annual meeting will take place at the Dundarave Hall, Tuesday week, June 5th. at 7.30 p. m., prompt, for the election of offi- cers and other important busi- ness. All members are requested to be on time, as the business meeting must finish at 8:30 for the social, which will be held from that hour. It is hoped that a big gather- ing of the ihIusical Society, with their friends, will be present to celebrate in a small way the re- cent success in winning the shield. Arrangements are being made for a very pleasant evening. John Lawson, 22nd and Be]- levue, divas away on a fishing trip to Tofino, Vancouver Island, with his son-in-law, 1V. J.

The following resolution was passed by the council in refer- ence to the proposal that some tangible recognition be made to Professor hIorgan and his choir for their services to the munici- pality as a whole: "That the high appreciation of this council be conveyed to the conductor and members of the EVest Vancouver Musical So- ciety for the very fine publicity which the winning for the fourth time of the silver shield, emblematic of the best choir in the province of B.C., has given our municipality, and further that, in view of Mr. ihIorgan's outstanding services to AVest Vancouver ever since it has been our good fortune to claim him as a resident, we regret that as a council it is not within our power to show him a more tan- gible appreciation of what the district owes to the rare ability he has so generously devoted to the public benefit."
