When the fiat went forth-that we Jwdre to down tools on Thursday, I was reminded of tho schoolboy who wrote ) home, "We are to be jgiven a holiday for uncle's funeral; hurrah for Uncle Tom!" Would the feelings of that schoolboy have been very irreveremtl if , they had been animated by just a little ' change of viewpoint about his uncle's 'death ?—Yours', etc., , ■ S.P.M.
