WIDOW'S RENT CLAIM.

SUCCESSFUL ACTION AGAINST FORMER TENANT.

to what interpretation you put

A claim for rent was heard in upon it. The card I hold in my the Summary Court yesterday hand with that word written upon afternoon before the Puisne Judge it if read from the opposite direc- (Mr. Justice Wood) when Chan tion reads "no"; it depends, in fact, Ho,, widow, of No. 27, Old Bailey, upon your point of view-and sued Cheung Chak, No. 18, Elgin upon your point of view depends Street, for $180, being two months' your success in life.

Both par- which will help us to throw furties conducted their own cases, ther light upon our attitude to life and its realities, upon which so much of the future depends. It is the word "work." Now, if you read these two words, which I hold up before you, you will read this command, "work on": but again it depends upon your point of view -for instance, if I read these let- ters from right to left instead of from left to right, you will read "no krow" (horow). I apologise for spelling row" with a "k," but please remember that Britain has command of the Seas (C's). In other words, this statement is a statement of fact, in that as a general rule It is true that those who do the most work, do not talk about it; in fact, they are far too busy to talk about it.

Need for Unity.

Now, supposing you had taken. the other point of view and read the word first mentioned as "no" in- stead of "on", you would, in com- bining these two words, read the fact, "no work" which if taken as read from the right to left point of view instead of from the left to right, will read "krow on" (crow on): how true this is niso of life, those who often do the least work have the moat to say, and the most criticisms. I wonder whether the Government are taking the right point of view concerning this great seat of learning, in this critical hour.

He went on to say that he won- dered whether they (Government) were going to "krow on" (erow on) and do no work," or not help, or whether they were going to take the more rational point of view and instead of criticising, or talk- ing, or crowing so much about the being of the University medical faculty, and not lending a helping hand, they would be wise and "work on" and help the University all they could. Dr. Cannon continued:

I mention these facts in my fare well address, because they are matters which lie very near and dear to my heart. When all is said and done, this Colony is a very small one, and so is the Faculty of Medicine and the Government Medical Department. Is it not the best policy for both these depart- ments to unite, instead of perhaps foolishly trying to work indepen- dently? I may be wrong, but I do not think the fault by any means lies much on the University side, but whoever may be at fault, we should put away all petty jealousies and start anew in one great united effort, which is the only road which will lead to certain success. To make this quite plain as to the im- portance of united effort, let me tell this story:

Many years ago, I visited a large lunatic asylum (not as an inmate), and the medical superintendent took me in the course of his rounds into a small ward in which there were three great hefty strong male luna- ties, and only one strong male at- tendunt, and I asked the superin- tendent what would happen if one of those men became violent; how would they deal with the outrage? The alienist told me that the male attendant could easily manage him; but I said, supposing that two of those men tried to attack the atten- dant, how would he then deal with the trouble? I was informed that it was a much easier matter to con- trol those two men than it would appear to be at first sight. But not being satisfied with this answer, I pressed the question, supposing these three lunatice made a united attack upon this solitary attendant, how would he cope with the situa- tion? The specialist turned round, and smiled, and whispered these words in my eaLunatics never unite."

Don't let us 15e lunatics' In be- haviour by refusing or not attempt ing to unite in our efforts. Who- ever else may be to blame, don't let

Plaintiff, in evidence, stated that defendant's father rented the ground floor of No. 31, Elgin Street, until he died four or five years ago, and on his death the tenaney was taken over by defen- dant. He had paid rent monthly for five or six years but on March 24 he absconded owing two months' rent except a few days. Plaintiff added that she had not let the premises since.

Defendant denied the claim. He agreed that he took over the pre- mises, known as the Sun Wing Hing club for chair coolies, from his father, but in the middle of 1928 his cousin took it over and paid the rent from then onwards. Defendant added that he told plaintiff his cousin

His Lordship remarked he be- lieved plaintiff's story that she knew nothing about defendant's cousin. It was quite possible that defendant's cousin took over. the premises and it was quite pos- sible that the cousin was the mas who absconded, but so far as the landlord was concerned defendant was the tenant. Defendant would have to make good to the landlord and he could recover from 15 cousin if he wished,

failure: and that "work on" spells Remember that "no work" spells success. There is one truth which can never die, and that is, that we never remain mentally stationary. Literally, we never stand still: we either progress or we regress. We either go forward, or we go back- ward. I want us to each ask our- selves this question: Which way are we going? forward? or back- word? Are we making progress as compared with a year or two ago? or are we regressing, in other words drifting-drifting to failure?

Let us put our shoulder to the wheel of work, and go forward, onward, until we reach our goal, remembering that seeming setbacks make the strong man wise. Seem- ing setbacks also make the strong University wise. We want more "guts", more push, more effort. more work: if we keep the right viewpoint and keep our motto "work on" always before us, we will not fail.

Remember that genius is often in reality hard work.

Genius, that power that dazzles

mortal eyes,

Is oft but perseverence in dis-
