G. Macpherson, former Lib. eral member of Parliament, lean, ed back In his swivel chair and became lost In thought. Then he said: "My ambition was probably that of most youngsters of that age a selfish ambition to get Into the big fight that is life. I bad a very personal ambition, I must admit, but It was a sacred one too sacred to talk of to tho public.

It was an Influence In my life for I attained it. As far as being 21 was concerned I had the wealth of youth and hope and fearlessness that every man or woman knows at 21. Life la youth's oyster. Where again do you find in life the carefree, bubbling joy that sings In the heart that carefree lack of re. sponslblllty the wealth of gladness that is youth? Life gives us later on more stable Joy, perhaps, but It is never again the same.

Life, especially in great cities, demands so much more than we fan civfl without losing some "nj" j' fVatMiT kH 1mmJ R. ti. MACPHERSON of tne singing Joys of youth. "An inexorable taskmaster is life" and Mr. Macpherson went to the window stood looking down on Granville street.

"Look at that young girl there! The Joy of youth is in her heart! You can tell by the very way she walks springily happily. Look at that man behind her! He's done! Life has ground something out of his soul youth! Look at that young couple standing before that shop window! Not a care In the world! They are happier than they will ever be again, unless they manage to keep youth In their hearts and It Isn't an easy task to do that! Still if I could be twenty one again I wouldn't take all the ambition and wealth in the world for It. It's the greatest thing in the world to be 21! With the world ahead and youth sparliling in your eyes!" SEKGT. JACK THOMSON. tective was unable to locate a glass, so, returning to the room In which the man lay, he asked where he could find something In which to carry the drink.

To his surprise, he found himself looking Into the muzzle of a revolver, held in tho hand of tho supposedly sick man. "I guess I've got the drop on you now," snarled the captive. Unable to draw his gun, the officer was nonplussed, no chance of a retreat being open when suddenly tho gunman turned the weapon on himself, and plncing it to his head, fired a bullet through his brain. "Hellevo me," wild Thomson, who Is usually one of tho most silent members of the force, "I figured that my call had been made and that It was all but there wasn't a chance to fight." R.

CURE FOR EVIL Premier MacDonald Says Must Stop Degradation of Unfortunates BRIGHTON. March (Canadian Tress) rrctnier Mac Donald, speaking here, said his nub Ject, "The Social Implication of Christianity," was no new subject. Tho first great problem Christians had to face was poverty a problem rot of Inequality but of the degradation of men and women. "The Christian faith must feel un asy." he continued, "so long as this kind of poverty exists. We must secure social reconstruction by way cf evolutionary Socialism." This was an age of tremendous conquest of power In the air, of material resources, and of the human being over the laws of nature, the premier pointed out, and if another war broke out the very thought that chemistry and physics had been conquered would make the soldiers' task an easy one Instead of muking easy the task to end war.

"But thank God." added Mr. Mac Donald, "this Is also an age where the still, small voice of spirituality is challenging It all." The premier asserted there was too much overindulgence In recreation and a disinclination to spent a qutct Sunday; too much attention to honors and not enough attention to human values. WILLIAM TULK DIES SUDDENLY William John Tulk. who originated the plan to give automobile outings for orphans, died at the ago of 45 years, in the General Hospital at 8:15 o'clock Wednesday evening.

C. S. Price, revivalist and faith curer. will have to take out some sort of a licence to appear publicly In Vancouver will bo deckled within the next few days. The police committee has referred the question to the licence inspector.

It was argued at the city hall meeting Wednesday that permit should now be required as the evangelist was, proposing to open services on his own initiative. Previously he had been under the auspices of the Minlster ial Association. Responsibilities of the dty were debated, at Wednesday's meeting when Aid. Almond raised the ques. tion of control during crowded meetings 1n the Arena or other hall.

He wanted Fire Chief Carlisle to assure him that, there would be no danger of a calamity through fire or stampede. The chief said that with police co operation everything possible would be done to keep crowds pacified. Aid. Worthlngton pointed to the difficulties1 of keeping people In a state of order when aroused to a fervid pitch by the Influence of the preacher. Ha doubted the wisdom of allowing such gatherings when they were liable to upset the public mind.

ISy FRED I.OKill, The World's Police Reporter. The muzzle of a revolver, under certain conditions has a close resemblance to the mouth cf a cannon, according to those 'Alio have heen introduced to the gaping maw of a firearm in the hand of someone other than a friend.

Sergeant Thomson gave up (he post of Chief of Police In Kteve.s ton in January, 1506, because he gut no "kick" out of the events In tlic little fishing village of those days. He Joined the city force, and has been' a conscientious officer, but he has got considerable excitement out of his Job in the years which have elapsed. Jack, however, admits that one time, at least, he gave up the, idea of holding down his post as detective, figuring that, he was due to make an appearance in another world in a few seconds. "I gave it up as a bad Job, and counted on leaving the department by the leaden route," said Jack, In recounting the following Incident, which occurred on June 29, 1911. Following an attempt to break Into the Traders Bank, which was then situated on Hastings Strpet, near Homer, tho police received Information that the yeggs were to be found In a cabin In the 300 block Fender Street East.

DETECTIVES DETAILED TO ROUND I THE GANG Detectives Thomson, Roy Terry and Dick Ievls were detailed to round up the pang, and they did It. Reaching the place, they found two white men and a colored woman, who, they were satisfied, lias been working on the attempted bank break. This was borne out by the fact that, in the cabin, plans of the basement of the bank building were found, showing where it was proposed to make an entrance. The woman and one of the two men were promptly taken to headquarters by Detectives Perry and Levis, the second man. who was apparently sick, being left in charge of Thomson.

Groaning, and seemingly In great pain, the captive lay In the bunk until the two officers had left with their prisoners. After a while, he asked his captor for a drink of water, and, feeling that the man was really in dire need, Thomson proceeded to accommodate him.

(Canadian Press). Debate on the address in reply to the speech from the throne continued in the Senate yesterday. There was no sitting in the House of Commons due to the Ash Wednesday holiday. Senator Dandurand, resuming the debate, said that the manufacturers had disqualified themselves as preachers of good will among the farmers by their action In 1911. The chief grievance among the manufacturers appeared to be the Increased British preference.

He believed the British preference gave to Canada fair price to both consumer and producer. Conditions might not be good In some parts of Canada but prospects were for vast Improvement. The attack on the British preference was based principally on the conditions in the woolen and footwear trade. He quoted figures show that the Increase In the British preference had made but a slight increase In the imports of woolen goods Into Canada. Senator Robertson could not see the evidence of prosperity claimed to exist by the government.

Debt, taxation and cost of living were increasing. Populiitlon was decreasing, and emigration exceeded immigration. SPEKCH REFERS TO FLTIRE PROSPERITY. 8enator Turiffs, the Progressive senator, thought that the prime minister in the speech from the throne referred to coming prosperity, not present, but that the Conservative leaders were equally at fault In preaching blue ruin. He was sure if the government carried out faithfully the promises made In the speech from the throne they would have the support of the west.

Dealing with immigration, Senator Turiffe said that Labor unions were partially responsible for keeping the people out of the country. He felt that Canada should accept all settlers who would make worthy citizens. The Senate adjourned until Thursday. COURT APPROVES STOOL PIGEONS While magistrates and sometimes Judges of the higher court deprecate the use of so called "stool pigeons" in securing evidence, particularly In liquor cases, the court of appeal went on record Wednesday afternoon unanimously in support of such police methods. The case at the bar was an appeal by John Berdlno against a conviction by Magistrate Shaw under the Liquor It was against the six months' sentence meted out by the police magistrate that the appeal was taken.

Judgment was reserved. Support Bonus Stand At a meeting of the Vancouver Association' of Electragists a resolution was passed unanimously supporting the stand taken at a public meeting Feb. 12. under the auspices of the Amputations' Association on the subject of bonuses on war veterans' pensions.
