Toroato seems to have been DAILY EDITION CITY CLERK WOODS AND HIS DOGS. In a letter in today's “News,” City Clerk Woods very wrathy over the item published yesterday relating to an attack made by his two bulldogs upon a four-year-old child. While the “News” has no objection to Mr. Woods defending himself and his dogs, evidencé of which is shown in its willingness to publish not only his statement lucky in disposing of over a million dollars’: worth of its bonds to an American company at a fair price. The magnitude of such a deal is illustrated by the statement that the total amount sold by all Canada to all of the United States last year is estimated at only 83,- 800,000. It might be well to ask the critics if they can ob- tain a bona fide offer of a full gets of the occurrence but several saiiiion dollare. of debentures unealled for and unbecoming running nine and a half years remarks which are probably; at a better figure. Conditions the world over have been unfavorable to the marketing of bonds. Toronto cannot expect to do better than the market price. It may be that there was an error of judgment in allowing deben- tures to accumulate, but it was an error which resulted from the hope that conditions would be better. Instead of that, they became worse. If the expected had happened, the officials who are now being eriticized would have been hdiled as far-sighted financiers. The situation, however, would seem to point to the desirability of marketing bonds practically as they are issued. In the meantime no good purpose is served by criticizing sales which are made on the very best terms obtain- the result of a ruffled temper rather than good judgment, the “News” would draw his at- tention to the fact that in as- suming the article was pub-, lished “for nothing but spite” he has a much more “fertile imagination” than the reporter he desires to congratulate for possessing such a talent. Mr. Woods would do well to study the dictionary and learn the meaning of the common word “lie” before using it so freely. In his attempt to deceive the public in regard to the motives of the “News” the word is much more applicable to his state- ment than to any statement in the article in yesterday's “News” that has brought forth such an unwarranted attack, The statements made vyes- able anywhere, and = which terday were in exact accord- compare favorably with the eine with the fecte as stated transactions of other cities, when it is remembered that by eye witnesses of the affair.

THE DAILY NEWS Saturdas \ The Missionary as Written specially for the “News” “The Smiling Fool” by Rev. J. B. McCullagh, Aiyansh, Naas Valley, British Columbia | Note.—The missionary, unlike |the politician or other ideoprax- list, does not stand or fall accord- ling to either the commendation jor the condemnation of the world Indifferent to both alike, expect- jing nothing and asking nothing, jhe goes on quietly with his work vii Daily, $8.00 per year. as something apart from this mundane sphere. On the one hand he seeks not the limelight of fame and renown, on the other he courts not the shade of pri- vacy or religious seclusion. True his inquiry is for the dark places of the earth, the habitations of cruelty, degradation and oppres- sion, where ignorance, tion and idolatry do most prevail; but he looks only for the dark- ness that he may dissipate it. Right into the midst of ‘it he goes, in a way that the traveller, the government official, and the trader can never do: these may abide among the people and do the work allotted to them, but the missionary enters into the dark- ness, for there his work lies. He identifies himself with the out- cast races of mankind, sits down, not only among them, but with them, stands up for them before God, and sometimes before man, His work is to create a new men- tal and moral atmosphere for them and prepare them to do battle for the acquisition of a new life and a new world, even here as well as hereafter.

That is to say, in addition to the or- dinary supply of Nature, there have always been certain ather | individuals so called in their) day and generation. The altruist may be right or wrong—time alone can decide which—but the world, at any rate, writes him down a “fool” to begin with, clas- sifying him either as a harmless cial value of the savage from one to one hundred, The require ments of the Indian in the old Siwash state, and his earning power, may be set down as 1, In his present civilized condition his requirements cover the whole catalogue of modern commerce, his earning power is as good as the white man's, and his commer- cial value may be well set down as 100. How comes the mission ary, then, to be the fool of mod I have heard him de scribed as such under many head ern times? ings—some resigning him to his fate, and others consigning him there! But you can’t put him there, because he won't stay down, he won't stay beaten when you beat him! You can't humor him, because just as you cannot put him down, so you cannot put him out; as for your joke, he has seen the fun of it all the day be- fore yesterday; you can't honor him, for the pretty little things you try to tack on to him won't stick. Altogether, I presume, people find him very unsatisfac- tory. . Out of a rare collection of ad- from time to time plied to the elassification of the missionary as aforesaid, I select the following, which, seriously, appeals to me -strongly—for in my own experience I have often found that on the principle of ac- tion and reaction being equal and opposite, the due maintenance of /& perpetual smile keeps the heart |well away from the other thing i jectives, ap- THE SMILING FOOL. .

She certainly acted as if she did. Even according to pres ent day standards, Moses must be considered a “great fool” in sacrificing his brilliant prospects in Eeypt to ehampion the cause of the over-employed, Most of the old prophets were looked upon as “fools,” and dangerous ones at that, and because they stood for pellueid polities they In the estima were intolerable. tion of the level headed Romans the early Christian church was composed entirely of fools, dan- but coming then to en the lions to the state, in handy now and liven the arena with Socrates was a fool, and had to take the hemlock, Galilio was another, and had to swallow the gerous earth's motion round the sun All the inventors in their turn were fools and gave the = good, wise world no end of trouble Columbus was a fool, and the Pilgrim Fathers followed in his steps, which accounts for the large surplus of colonels indi-| genous to the United States to- day.
