The question of amalgamation wi]] come up at at the next meet- ing of the District Council, how- ever, as Councillor J. M. Bryan gav enotice that he would then move: "That this council approach the City Council with respect to the appointment of a joint com- mittee to go thoroughly into the basis of amalgamation of the city and district, such a question to be placed before the electors one year hence in the event of the special committee so recom- mending." Councillor Bryan took issue with Councillor Fraser's resolu- tion. He thought the submis- sion of such a plebiscite would be asking the ratepayers to vote on something they knew noth- ing about. He said he was in favor of the amalgamation of the city and district. He thought an amalgamation could be effect- ed that wou]d benefit both mun- icipalities and wou]d obviate overlapping that now exists. He contended that the details of the proposed union should first be worked out before the ratepay- ers were asked to vote. Councillor Fraser said the pur- pose of his resolution was mere- ly to ascertain the views of the ratepayers on the general prin- ciple of amalgamation. If the plebiscite did pass, the ratepay- ers wou]d rot be committed to anything. Reeve Fromme thought there ivou]d be no harm in submitting the plebiscite. "Amalgamation is going to come just as sure as the sun is going to rise tomorrow," he said, "and we will all sooner or later have to tax improvements." Councillor 4V. H. Woods con- sidered it best to ascertain the views of the ratepayers. If a favorable decision were given, then the council would have authority to proceed with the ar- ranging of the details.

A backwoods mountaineer one day found n mirror which a tourist had lost. "Well, if it ain't my old dad," he said as he looked in the mirror. I never knew he had his pitcher took." He took the mirror home, stole into the attic to hide it, but his actions did escape his suspicious wife. That night while he slept she slipped up to the attic and found the mirror. "Hm-m," she said, looking into it. "So that's the old hag he's been chas- in'." The following Christmas Carol will be sung by the audi- ence as well as the choir at the Choral Society's Conceit in Hollyburn Theatre next Tuesday. GOOD KING iVENCESLAS Good King Wenceslas looked out On the feast of Stephen, When the snow lay round about, Deep, and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, Tho'he frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, Gath'ring winter fuel. "Hither, page, and stand by me, If thou know'st it, telling, Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling? "Sire, he lives a good league henc.", Underneath the mountain; Right against the forest fence, By St. Agnes'ountain." "Bring me flesh and bring me w»e, Bring me pine-logs, hither; Thou and I will see him dine When we bear them thither." Page and monarch forth they went, Forth they went together, Thro'he rude wind's wild lament, And the bitter weather. "Sire the night is darker now And the wind blows stronger; Fails my heart I know not how, I can go no longer." "Mark my footsteps, my good page, Tread thou in them boldly: Thou shalt find the winter's rage Freeze thy blood less coldly." In his master's steps he trod, Where the snow lay dinted; Heat was in the very sod Which the saint printed; Therefore, Christian men, be sure, Wealth or rank possessing, Ye who now will bless the poor, Shall yourselves find blessing.
