JOURNALISTIC DAYS.
Mr. Macdonald and the Press..
The Primo Minister, as the guent of the London Pross Club at dinner last month, made a happy spooch, in which he recall- ed his journalistic days and paid)
warm tribute to the British Prons. Two of his Cabinet colleagues, Mr. Arthur Hondor- son, the Home Secretary, and Mr. Stephon Walsh, the Socratary of State for War, were also guests of the club at St. Bride's Hopso, Salisbury-square.
Mr. Edgar Walluco, chairman of the club presided. Ho asked Mr. MacDonald's acceptance, on bohalf of his daughter Ishboi, of a silver-ink-stand en which was inscribed, "From the London Prose Club to Ishhol, with love, on hor twenty-first birthday," He added, amid laughter, that it also bore the words, "Say what you like, but be careful what you write."

The Prime Minister, who was received with prolunged choore, addressed l company

"My dear he said in little girl Ishbel," thanking the company for a de- lightful token of friendship, "will receive this not only with great gratitudo, bocause it comes from yon; and because of the circum- stances under which it has been presented to her, but she will! always value it as an expression, of fellowship, I hope, as long as she lives-un expression of fel- lowship from men who belong to the same profession as her father follows,"
