It would scarcely be an exaggeration to say that these unemployed, skilfully used and directed by their leaders, have been at the heart of all the disturbances in Canton since the original boy. cott started. Naturally they were a feree to be reckoned with when opinions on political issues were sharply divided, and unprincipled politicians of whom, unfortunately, there are many, have truckled to thern and entered into all manner of pledges in order to secure their support.

ARMISTICE
DAY.
Turn up your speeding hour-glass, Father Time,
And stay your sick.e bolu!
We would step back into the fast's pale clime,
Till nino lang years are told;
Back to a day when all the world, in awe
And wonder, held its breath, Then woke to joy, that battle fends no more Might steep youth's flowers in death!
What say thinking tongues
That we forget
Those tears, and tragic mirth, That met in tense-drawn ecstasy and yet
To thankful prayer gave birth 1 Xay No in hopeless pessimisï's tone
Is greatest love expressed-
The souls who passed, to make that day our own,
Know who remember best!
Not by persistent sighs and gloomy mien,
Now yet in trifling play,
Tend we the soil that keeps their memory green
For ever and a day.
Only a thought that wings beyond the blue,
Only a silent prayer
And we are sure they know, and count us true,
Who watch us Over There!
Then let us trend to-day the Past's dry mosses,
And glimpse those days grown old!-- See how the poppies flame among the crosses,
Cheery and staunch, and bold!
Symbol of highest love, for love to copy. Though Time his race may cun,--
So Memory bloons, as blooms the loyal poppy,
Till retting of Life's sun!
