C7RAFT IX CAXADIAX POLITICS.
The man with the muckrake has
Seft the United States, at least for
aiwlille, and gone to Canada. Ac
tcording to him, $10,000,000 was lost
5a one year In the Canadian federal
departments through overpayment
Sar supplies. A political lntermedi
EtrxTitSt. John received as a commis
sion on one small contract $35,000,
-which was charged to the govern
ment. In 48 out of the 90 Ontario
snals "tho people were publicly
lirihca" by promises of local Im
provements and In nine seats the
ateelDrate was threatened with the
deprivation of public party In power.
""lYine, women and works If, they did
Dot support the graft" accusations
tinve beenreely made.
"Says the Toronto correspondent of
The JJew York Tribune: "Whenever
a man can make $1000, $5000, $10,
4)00 or $30,000 on a sale of some
Brijjil to the government, or as a go
Zietwecn In matters of public patron
age, he seems to think nothing of the
moral side of the affair."
"Yet In 1873 a tumult spread over
fibc Dominion when It was proved
thai the government of Sir John Mac
clonald had received campaign con
tributions from would-be railway
contractors, and the grand old man
vent down in defeat. Mercer of
"Quebec was overwhelmingly beaten
iSar a similar reason. Slower but no
acss certain was the retribution which
-.ovwtook that Ontario government
which had remained In power by vlr
j!uc of stuffed ballot boxes.
In the opinion of the Tribune cor
Trcspondent, the passion for material
'Clencflts has taken so strong a hold
on Canadians that the politician most
3SkcHy to get their votes Is he who
"will make promises almost as ex
JSravagant as those satirized by the
TpoeU
XTI promise you sunshine, I'll promise
you rain;
3HI promise you fabulous prices for
grain;
Z'll promise you music by day or by
night;
311 promise you beauty and sweet
ness anil light.
Como pledge me a vote ere I part'
from tho place,
jEMta I'll fling you a promise with
prodigal grace.
iXnd you'll find I won't falter
whato'er be tho boon
Jx. rosebud In winter, a snowstorm In

TThe health of a pheasant, tho pomp

THE IDEAL HOME.
"The Ideal Home" delightful
thought
Is what I much desire;
Some spot with simple pleasure
fraught
To which I may retire.
Where I may follow every bent,
Where none will say ne nay,
Where all my family consent
To let me have my way.
A dwelling where the rooms are
large,
But where the rent is small,
Where tradesmen never overcharge
Or boring neighbors call,
A house that's cosy In the frost,
But shady In July;
A home where keys are never lost
And babies never cry.
A place where servants always suit
And serve us with delight;
A garden full of flowers and fruit
AVhere midges never bite;
Where nights are calm and midnight
cats
Refrain from repartee.
In short, where nothing worries,
that's
The Ideal Home for me.

THERE probably never lived a
man who didn't flatter himself
that he understood women.
"They're a puzzle, of course, to
most men, but I think I know a lit
tle about them," one hears him say
in a lordly, superior sort of way.
There is only one answer to be made
to this satisfied gentleman. The
man who thinks he knows most
about women really knows least.
In point of fact, It Is Impossible for
any man, however clever and experi
enced, fully to understand woman.
One woman he may learn a little of
very little and then he Is contin
ually taken aback by new develop
ments in her on which he has not
calculated; but let him only begin to
apply the knowledge so learned to
his treatment of another of the same
sex, and he will be bewildered and
confounded to discover that tho same
rules will not apply to them both.
Shakespeare, who had a subtler In
sight into human nature than any
writer who ever lived, was right
when he said of woman: "Time can
not stale her infinite variety." And
it is this very complexity of char
acter, this fleeting change of mood
and disposition, which makes her so
desperately perplexing to slower
witted man.
To the ordinary man she is a per
fectly sealed book.
"I can't make her out at all."
"She is a mass of contradictions,"
"She never does or says what you
expect." '
These aro a few of tho plaints
made by men about the girls in
whom they begin to take a special
interest. If she wero constructed on
tho slmplo lines of a man In mind
and heart, her lover would better
know how to win her; but, In that
case, It Is to bo doubted whether
ho would care to take the. trouble.
It Is her bewildering and puzzling na
ture that makes her chief charm in
his eyes.
"Do you understand women?"
asked a timid youth of a man who
had seen tho world.
"Oh, yes; I understand that
there's no understanding them, and
that Is as far as a man can ever get,"
was the crushing answer.
Women understand each other
with such ease; they read each
other's motives and interpret aright
tholr looks and tones and unspoken
speech It Is all such plain sailing to
them that they look on with a kind
of compassion on a man's blundering
Ignorance of the sex. That Is why a
woman who is popular among mon Is
so very often quite the other thing
with women. The poor, doluded men
who take hex precisely at tho valua
tion she Intends them to can not
comprehend why her own sox can not
soo her many lovely qualities, and,
vv a
In their blindness, they complacently
set down the reason to jealousy. The
1 real fact Is that the woman can't de- I
j C3lve women, try as she may. They
reau uer mruugii uuu iiiiuugu, uiiu
estimate her accordingly.
That men never have fully under-
stood women is plain to any one who R00ke, Blanche Landrith, Flo Rooke,
has made a study of the male no- Lallan Sherman, Eva Sherman, Ina
vellsts' works. Even the foremost an(j jiary Sherman and Messrs.
names In the profession have this Schley Sherman, Ivy Noah, N. Noah,'
one point of weakness. Their women Dav3 Sherman, Beryl Noah, James
are admirably painted from the out- , Mcintosh, Philip Landrith, Lee Ray,
side. They are charming very often, ' CHfton Sherman, Leonard Russell,
and attractive and full of grace. 3eorge Rooke, Paul Sherman, Rob
Thoy move and walk about the stage ert R00ke, Maurice Ray, Claudo
and conduct themselves in a lifelike Havlland, Karl Cllnkenbeard, Law
manner enough, but any woman can rence Russell and A'alentlne Sher-
see that, after all, they are only
pasteboard dummies; they lack the
touch of Promethean fire that would
make them flesh and blood.
Christmas entertainments were
the chief events In a social way dur
ing the past Week. There were sev
eral large parties and many smaller

club party and the fireman's ball
