Lovers, eh ? And now they are applying for a separation.

Lovers then, and why not now ? Let’s see, old man. On that wedd-

ing day lie took her arm with an aie most gracious, and assisted her into the carriage as he left the church. He helped her to mount the car step, in the same courteous fashion. He was mighty anxious for her comfort wasn’t he ? Did she need refresh- ment, was she thirsty, would she like a book, was there a’hything she desired. Yes, and when she spoke he listened. When she nestled up against his shoulder, he thought there was no one else in the world to compare. He gave her his best attention, didn’t he ? She received his choicest thoughts.

He went out with her then. Would she stop and look in the door window they weren’t in any hurry.'

They were one. Yes, yes, one ; and now they: are

twp. Did she want to go to the concert,

opera, or other entertainment, he felt it a pleasure to take her.

'Fliey were one then. Did she want him to remain in the

hou.se, then the club had no charms, and the poker game was not a mark to the joys of home.

Lovers then, and why not now ? “Ah,” you reply, “tliis was years

ago.” Yes, it was years ago, and now the

coirts may separate them. And you, my friend; you, the bride

of the use<i to bo, you gave him your love with the recklessness of a woman who loves with her whole being. Yon had no eyes for others then.

They were one then. Did he come home tired; did he talk

on business, on losses or disappoint- ments, you clieered him up, you read to him, you ran your fingers through his hair, soothed him, and drew the curtain down. You planned surprises for him. You dressed to please him. You m(^t him at the door and wore your liair as vou would wear it for a king.

He was then king, and ruled by love.

Tliey were one then, • Yes, and VQU, too, reply that this was long ago.

And why not feather the nest again ? Why not commence afresh ami be the sweetiiearts of the bygone days ?

They were one once ; they are two now.

Become as one again.

. H A fitting celebration nt one hun-

dred years of peace between (;anada and the United States is being ac- tively aimed at by the Uanadian As- sociation, which has liccn formed with a representative membership. Early in the year 1909 the t’anadian Peace and Arbitration Society passed a resolution to take steps towards a proper celebration. A petition asking the Government of Canada to co-oper crate with the Government of the United States was prepared for circulation. This petition was being circulated with good results, when the German scare and resultant wave of navy discussion swept over Canada, rendering for the moment the work of peace propaganda so difficult that it was thought wise to discontinue the canvass for the time being.

Alter consultation and correspondence it w'as discovered that a strong .desire was rapidly growing to have the scope of the celebration widened so as to include the Empire, Canada retaining an important part therein.

Then came the death of the King, named, by the common consent of all nations, “the Peacémaker,” in an international sense, lamented as a loss to the human race. The wave of military feeling has largely subsided, and there has come a universal recogni- tion of the superior advantages of peace and international conciliation as the possible and much-to-be-desired substitute for war.

A great society has been formed under the initiative ol the New York Peace Society, with 2,'iO names of foremost citizens of the UnitedStates on its board, for the purpose of this celebration. A gathering of representatives of several societies has been held at intervals in Buffalo, Niagara Falls, N.Y., and Niagara Falls, Ont., with the object of organizing an international Hundred Years Peace So- ciety.

This society has named Toronto as its next place of meeting to prepare the way. for a large and representative organization to take in hand the international feature. To this international meeting the New Yark, Boston, Molionk agd other peace societies, as well as Chambers pt Com- merce and other association's, will send delegates to meet similar representatives from Canadian associa- tions, etc.

There must be in Canada, it is felt, an independent Canadian organization lo deal with this side of the celebration, and then to eo-opetate with the British and United States societies.

A. few^ representatives ol Peace and other societies have met as a prelim- inary committee. The object of this committee is to correspond with representative men, boards, associa- tions, etc., and to develop as soon as possible the nucleus of a strong association. This will be called together a.s soon as possible, to organize properly and take the whole matter in hand ; to shape a policy, appeal to the Government, lay plans, act with British and United, States societies, etc., until the work is launched in a proper manner and on a commensur- ate scale and carried to success.

Correspondence is invited from all who are interested without waiting ! to be specially canvassed. The work to be done is enormous, and can be accomplished only by much voluntory and spontaneous effort, as well as that initiatCTl by a committee.

Correspondence to be addressed in the meantime to the Secretary pro tern. Dr. 0. S.-Eby, 88 College St., Toronto.

A suggestion in connection with the celebration is a perpetual memorial to King Edward the Peacemaker.

LDOSEII UP 'I'here are those who grouch and

who make every cent a prisoner. They deny themselves all the luxuries of life and many necessities as well. They grow grey, wrinkled and narrow. They do not believe in civic advancement. It would mean e.xtra taxes. They believe in heating down the school teachers’ salaries, and think the parson isn't earning his money. They are not living. They only exist. They are the fellows who never hand their wives any money without a detailed explanation. It is strange, but money is never easier than in a land where everyone is spending it, where there is midnight revelry and a saloon on every corner. One day Dame Decency wakes up the red liglits go out, the hotels close, and there is no midnight music, and money becomes tighter. One may not visit the house ol the red light, or join the midnight chorus, but we can all keep our money moving.

It is tile city or country where the money is kept moving that is the, busy city, for after all this whole- world is only one great department store. Loosen up, spend your money. You will get it hack again. Don't leave it for the heirs to get jealous, over and go to law about. Spend it to-day, to-morrow and the next day, and you’ll get it again. Spend it i there are no pockets in a shroud.

BIT OF HISTORY Sir dames Whitney Defended Aspersions Cast by an

Anonymous Writer. (From The Glengarrian.)

Editor Gleugarrian — The motive which prompts “A Conservative who Loves Daylight” to address an open letter to Mr. D. R. McDonald, our member in the Legislature oi Ontario, which was published in the Montreal Herald of the 14th instant, is so apparent that it carries with it its own disapproval. In fact, his excuse for the attack is so palpable that it ex- poses the distorted purposes of the writer.

If the nuestion of Separatipn was the one at heart with the writer, one could have a fellow-feeling with him, condemn the artful devices of enacting amendments to the law on that subject so as to make the separation of counties in the Province almost an impossibility, and agree with him where he says that these changes in the law are denying Glengarry “that measure of justice which, was heretofore accorded to the citizens of every other county in Ontario,” and that it was done ‘‘to grant the town ot Corn wall a special favor,” at the expense of Glengarry ; but when he, the writer, crawls under cover of the Separa- tion question, to stah the Whitney Government and ‘‘Donald Robert” with a political dirk, my desire to give my humble support iu that direc tion becomes alienated. Such tactics never promote sympathy or help, but will on the contrary create a union of persons otherwise indifSerent when dishonest and unfair means are discovered to be in disguise and wanted to do duty in the political horizon.

A REVIEW. For the benelit of your readers,how-

ever, I may be permitted—as he has opened the question—to give some of the facts in connection with this his- torical legislation.

About 22 or 23 years ago a move was made by some leading gentlemen in Glengarry to separate from tlie union with Stormont, Dundas and Glen- garry. At that time the law was Wat if a majority ofHhe reeves—w'hich in- cluded the deputy reeves—of a county desirous of withdrawing from a union voted for separation iu January of one year and a majority of the reeves elected at the following municipal January election ratify the vote, the dissolution ot that county from the union must follow.

The move got a good deal of sympathy, and though then it was not pressed to a vote it was manifest that it only required but a little discussion of the subject with the people to make the question a surpris- ingly strong one.

Getting alarmed at this, the law was changed,, in 1894, making it necessary to have three-iiftlis of the reeves and deputies, instead of a bare majority, and further, that a county must have a population of twenty-five thousand before it could even ask lor separation, a figure that we have never approached by two or three thousand. This made the union secure.

UNDER MOW AT. It is often not very wise to wake

up old recollections, but many will remember that the late Mr.Rayside was then member for Glengarry. That the death of the shcrifi of theUnitedCoun- ties had created a vacancy for the position, that Mr.Rayside had the promise of the office when his term would be up ; but he, poor man, died in 1895 and never got it. Remember also that the emoluments from the sherifis office are due to the amount oi business done and to the amount of territory under its jurisdiction. Cut off Glengarry, and you cut oil oue-third at least of the earnings. It may not be charitable to give reasons why Glengarry was put in such shackles, but we know Mr. Rayside was our member when this law was changed and that the Mowat government was in full blast and power at Toronto.

At the session of 1906. Mr. Lepine, tlie member for Russell, brought a bill before the Legislature of Ontario which became law. It provided that when a majority of the municipalities of any county by their reeves petitioned the (îovernment that they were anxious for a separation from

an exi.sting union with other coun- tries, tliat the Government would order a vote to be taken at the next annual election and if the majority of the ratepayers would be in favor of it that separation was accomplished.

ASKED FOR DELAY. Our county took advantage of the

law. The required majority ot reeves acted, and asked thé Government for authority to take the vote, but in the meantime those opposed to separation, and Cornwall in particular, took the lead and got a lot of men lo go through' tlie county, and got the people to sign a petition asking the Government to put oB the vote for a year, on the ground that the people were not educated as to the importance. oi the question. The leply to the petition by Mr. Whitney was that the (iovernment must hear from botli sides, for and against separation, before jthey could decide. A deputation of the reeves of Kenyon, Lochiel, Lancaster and .‘Uexandria namely four out of the seven municipalities, with a few otl|er gentlemen went to Toronto, and when ushered into the presence oi Mr.Whitney—now Sir .James—and his cabinet ministers, the opponents to the senaration in Glengarry were confronted with Uie presence of one solitary person and that gentleman was and is a resident of Cornwall.

After a hotly fought debate before Mr. Whitney and two or three of his cabinet it was decided that the vote would be put off for a year. It was then felt by the deputation that the law might again be changed and one of tliem pointed this out to the Pre- mier. Mr. Whitney’s reply was, ‘‘No, it will never be changed till Glen- garry gets a chance to vote on the question.” Glengarry has liad this opportunity hut defeated the project. The Whitney Government fulfilled their promise, and gave no undertaking that the law after that might not

j be changed. ! PEOPLE HAD SPOKEN. i Where then, I ask, is the justifica- I tion for this ‘‘Conservative who i Loves Daylight” who more properly i should be called ‘‘A Conservative . who loves darkness” to say that I “such treatment by the Government

would be equivalent to sayiiig we know we are depriving Glengarry ot their just duesf” When the people of Glengarry had acted, voted and re-

I jected the question ot separation, their verdipt was emphatically no ;

I we don’t want it, and I ask, therefore, wherein has the Government played unfairly ?

Parliament is the creation oi the people, and if this Grit in disguise would come out honestly and help Liberals and Conservatives, who are anxious for separation _ to get a ma-

' jority of the ratepayers to sign a I petition asking to restore the Lepine I act or pass a special act to free Glen I garry. Parliament could hardly refuse ! the relief. Indeed the terms of the I latest amendment to the act, whicli -are practically the same as the one ! passed in Mr. Rayside’s time, are so

obviously unjust and contradictory to I what such law liad been for scores oi

years under wliicli ail tlie unions in I tile,province had been severed — and j unions under the early settlement was j the rule—that it would be reasonably I classed witli tlie obstructive laws of j a despotic co'untry like Russia and I not that of a self-governed country. ' The latest amendments are clearing

aiming, as they did before, at some of the few unions in tlie province that are left, their terms are so unjust and so unfair to a free people that the law cannot long remain as at pre

] sent, if the matter is exposed betore Parliament. Its innate conviction is unmistakably marked on its face.

As to Mr. D. R. McDonald’s conduct while tlie bill was going through tlie House, I have nothing to say. He is wpll able to take care of himself. His explanation cannot he in better hands than his owm, and I have no doubt he will give it when tlie proper time comes.

lA TUQUE The railroad towns of rapid growth

are not in the west alone. La Tuque, on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, 1J7 miles from Quebec, is a wonderful example of this. Two years ago there was not a house there. To-day,. there is a hand.some well laid out, well built town with two churches, a school, a bank, a sulphite pulp mill, two saw mills, some very fine stores and a resident population of about 2000. The Quebec Bank opened a brancli there a few weeks ago, and i» a very few days had $60,000 on de- posit. La Tuque is a divisional point on the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway and will have the shops for that division. It is also the terminus of the LaTuque branch of the LakeSt.-Iohn division of the Canadian Northern Railway, and the head of navigation of the river St. Maurice, which is na- vigable for steamers for seventy miles from La Tuque southward to Grand Piles.

But the principal advantage of La vTuque is its water power. The river

St. Maurice, at this point, a magnificent stream half a mile wide, falls ninety feet, making available for industries no less than ninety thousand horse-power. This is only partially developed, but already the Messrs. Brown, of Berlin, N.H.. the owners of the power, have built one of the largest sulphite pulp mills m 'imerica, and in a few days will be producing sixty tons of sulphite pulp dally and a paper mill will follow in the' rear future. These twô industries will use only a very small portion of the power, so that there will, no doubt, be many other industries established, W'hich will make of Tva Tuque a nour- ishing industrial town. A large flour mill is spoken of, to grind up the wheat to be brought from Manitoba and Alberta by the Grand Trunk Pa- cific, and as the level grades (four tenths) of that road will carry grain at rates with wrhich the canal nîlîga tion cannot compete, this, should be an ideal spot for such an industry on a large scale, as it is also in close proximity to the ocean steamers at Quebec. La Tuque is evidently destin ed to be one of the most important points to the Province- of Quelx'c.

To the Editor,—The readers of the Glengarrian have been treated to a little ancient history over the “nom de plume.” “A friend of Separation,” which is intended as a reply lo my recent letters to the Herald.

The writer is evidently troubled about my boldness writing under the aegis of a Conservative while at heart a rank “Grit” and he regards my criticism of my party as vicious and rushes witli Spartan bravery to the defence of the government, wiiome one would think arc quite able to defend themselves, and leaves 1). R. McDon- ald, the representative of the county, to “paddle his own canoc.” and why? Because D. R. McDonald’s' action in connection wTth the question of separation is indefensible,-and being of little importance politically, he is perfectly willing that Glengarry’s representative should be sacrificed to save the Whitney government.

“A Friend of Separation” enters in- to a fruitless attempt in defence of the government’s action on the question of the separation of Glengarry from the union of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry, and treats the reader.s of the Glengarrian to what they already know ; that is, that Cxlengar- rians received similar treatment from ‘ the Mowat administration, and that the representative of Glengarry in the Legislature at the time was a party to this unjust act.

With this statement I quite agree and I mentioned that 'fact in my first letter. I have no doubt that “A i Friend of Separation” condemned the Mowat governn^ciit and also the re- | presentative of the countv at the time for it. I know that ail Con- servatives in the county who then favored separation condemned the act as an outrage on their liberties. Are those same Conservatives prepared to condone the action that appeared damnable when committed by a Grit government, and pass it over in sil- ■ ence because it can trace its parent- age to a Conservative government. It surely is a waste of time to argue with a man whose vision is so blurred by party prejudice, and on such hy- j pothesis does this “Friend of Separ- ation” come to the rescue of the ! Whitney government. |

“A Friend of Separation” is con- , vinced that my motives must be bad ‘ and I can no longer be considered orthodox or sound in theConservative ' faith and must henceforth be regarded as a treacherous Grit. He says my motives are quite apparent that I attack the government with a political dirk.” I am prepared to leave ray letters to any man, Grit or Tory, pos sessed of a sound mind and unbiased/ judgment, if I have not dealt with the case historically and in a spirit of fairness.

A most glaring and dishonorable act has been perpetrated against the comity of Glengarry by the Whitney government with the evident concur- rence of D. R. McDonald, and because forsooth, the parties to the act are Conservative^, every Tory in the land must be gaged ; must remain as mute as a dummy or confine their criticisms to thé action of Grits only.

“Whisper it not in Gath: tell it not in the streets of Ascolon.” This is ' the logic of this defender of the Con- servative faith who resurrects the ac- | tion of the Mowat government some i twenty years ago on the question of | separation in extenuation for the act of the Whitney government. \

While the .Act of the Mowat government was bad, that of theWhitney ( government is even more inconsistent W'hen Mr. Racine, the representative of îssell, moved at the session of 1906 to have the act amended, restor- ing to the counties that are still united, the power they in common with all other counties previously had to dissolve such unions, the Whitney government must have realized that ’ the amendment asked for was nothing

more than cold justice, and they consequently agreed to it and placed these counties in the position they formerly enjoyed.

Upon what hypothesis can this “Friend of Separation” argue that it was right for the Whitney government to again rob these same counties of their inalienable rights three years after they had restored them.

Let me point out a marked difïer- ence between the action of thcMowat and that of the Whitney government on the question of separation. Al- though a Conservative mvself, I must deal with these facts as I find them, if the results should militate against my own party. Truth should never be suppressed to prevent the public having a full and thorough knowledge of the Acts of governments, as all governments derive their power from the people, and to illustrate the treat ment the people of Glengarry have been submitted to, I will take the case of a servant, who in his public capacity had robbed a man of-$i,00(J. Some years after, this public servant was turned out of office and replaced by anotlicr man. The man who had been previously robbed of $l,üüü came to the newly appointed officer and .showed him that his predecessor had robbed him of $1,000 and asked him to restore him his money. To this 'the newly appointed officer acquiesced and returned the money to the rightful owner. Three years after, this public servant called the man he had so favored and said : “1 must take these $1,000 from you again, although it is your own money. One of your neighbors has been displeased ever since I gave it back to you and to please this neighbor 1 must take it from you again.” The Whitney government returned to Glengarry a privilege of which they have been deprived, and because it displeased the citizens of Cornwall to see Glengarrians treated as British subjects, the Whitney government said in reality to the people of Cornwall, “Cheer up, boys, we will again rob Glengarry to please you,” and they did so, so plainly that “he who runs may read,” and while these facts are apparent even to a man of cramped intelligence, yet “A Friend of Separation” sees nothing but evil in any person who would dare to raise his voice against such treatment, and why ? Because the act was perpetrated by a Conservative government and to expose it might injure the party.

“A Friend of Separation” says Whitney promised a deputation from Glengarry that they would have the privilegè of voting on the question and when the deputation asked to have the matter submitted to the peo pie thé'- were opposed by a man from Cornwall who enjoys the “pull” but he adds that the issue was voted on and the people of Glengarry rejected it. It goes without saying that the question was defeated by .the stuffing of the voters lists and other corrupt means, all of which emanated from the town of Cornwall, and 1 regret to say that to all appearances the Whitney government entered into collusion with the people of Cornwall to defeat separation by allowing a prominent government official by the name of Bruce Smith to take part in the contest to defeat the scheme when the issue was before the electors.

It is true that “A Friend of Separ ation” can see no objection to this. He believes in the principle that“Tlie King can do no wrong.”

I apologize to you, Mr. Editor, for taking up so much of Your space. I want the electorate to know the facts and 1 consider I have discharged a public duty in exposing treachery, no matter who may suffer by it. Bonis noect quisquis pepercerit malis.” “A CONSERVATIVE WHO LOVES

NO TARHf THIKERIIIG No immediate revision of the tarifi,

with its consequent turbulent business conditions, is coutemplaied by i’resident Taft, says The New York Her- ald. Being a President who keeps his hand close to the business pulse of the nation, he recognizes tariff agita- tion, followed by the uncertainty of revision by either party, as a thing which makes trade stagnant and un- settles both labor and capital.

Those who are familiar with ihù President’s view hold that he believes that the tariff will not be revised for many years, and that it will never be revised piecemeal so long as tlie Re- publican party is in power ami con- trolled by its present leaders.

President Taft has gone to the extent of saying that should the 'Pariff

Board, after thorough iuvesoigation, find that a certain schedule demands revision and so suggest to him, he will recommend to Congress that it revise that schedule. This would end the responsibility of the Presi«lent until Congress should undertake the revision.

New England would have to be bound and gagged before she would iconsent to the revision of the col ton or woollen schedule alone, and every section, if not every Stale, would hesitate to give up the opportunity of trading a duty upon one uroduct for that upon another, which is the present underlying principle of getiinga tariff law to passage.

Manufacturers of ail classes loom i d in this vicinity, with whom 'I’he Her- ald reporter talked to-day, wore against any change iu the tariff, pure- , ly on the ground that it wouU lesult ; in a business upheaval.

PÜRiFlEDJlS BLOOD Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills

Healed Mr. Wilson’s Sores

When the sewers of the body—bowels, kidneys and skin ducts—get clogged up, the blood quickly becomes impure and frequently sores break out over the body. The way to 3lieal them, as Mr. Richard Wilson, who lives near London, Ont., found, is to purify the blood. He

"For some time I had been in a low, depressed condition. My appetite left me and I soon began to suffer from indigestion. Quite a number of small sores and blotches formed all over ray skin. I tried medicine for the blood and used many kinds of ointments, but without satisfactory results. W'hat was wanted was a thorough cleansing of the blood, and I looked about in vain for some medicine that would accomplish this.

At last Dr. Morse’s Indian Root Pills were brought to my notice, and they are one of the most wonderful medicines I have ever known. My blood was puri- fied in a very short time, sores healed up, my indigestion vanished. They always have a place in my home and are looked upon as the family remedy.”

GOOD ROADS BY F. C. NÜNNICK.

Part 2 In last week’s issue the need and ]

advantages of good roads WwVe dis- | cussed, and now we come to the question of what “system” to ein- I ploy in order to have the improved conditions previously mentined.

County road systems have up to the present time been established in fifteen counties, comprising over 40 • per cent in area of Ontario, to which the Highway Improvement Act is | applicable. This act passed in 1901

good condition where it was a verit- able horror before to those who hao occasion to pass over it.

The writer having spent two sum- mers in Lanark county where the county system is in successful operation, had an opportunity to see and to study, more or less closely, the working out of the scheme. Lanark county was one of the first to accept the government oiler of aid and adopt ed the countv system in LJ02. Since

by the Provincial Government, pro- vides that county councils assuming and maintaining a system of county roads will be assisted bv the Gevern- ment to the extent of one-third of the cost of construction. Under this system the main roads are chosen and are repaired according to their needs. An increased expenditure may ensue but will be covered by the Govern- ment grant.

Tile aim of the system is to secure

then over 100 miles oi permanent roads have been built at a cost of about $120,000, one-third oi which was paid hv the Government, leaving the county cost at $80,000. The question of maintenance receives particular attention and as soon as spots begin to show wear they are repair ed, .Just here let it be emphasized that unless a county or municipality is prepared to keep a road in good repair they may just about as well

uniior.in and systematic work, to employ and operate modern implements, to propide for CONSTANT MAIN- TENANCE and to provide object lessons in the art of permanent road building. The counties operating under this act have assumed an average of about 12 per cent of the road mile age in each county, the total now amounting to about three thousand miles of road.

The meaning ot countv roads slionld

leave it untouched altogether. When a company or an individual^ builds a railroad every mile of it is constantly under tlie care ot sectionmen, then why should otir epunty roads go un- cared for the larger part of the vcar?

j it must not be e.xpected that the : road -can take care of itself, it is j unreasonable. I There are no two counties in On- j tario perhaps where the conditions

are preci.sely the same as regards soil

We are told everywhere that farro- ing is an endless job. The constant routine of planting, cultivating, harvesting and preparing the soil may be handled in such a wav that there would be a little rest period between but the endless amount oi smaller details that have to be taken care ol occupy every moment ot tlie farmer’s time whether the sun shines or the clouds o’ercast the sky. It is not the purpose to refute the statement that farming is an endless job but rather to show that there are some things a good deal worse than having an endless job. In the first place, the farmer who carries on his work systematically is never deprived of a vacation of a few days or weeks, as the case may be. if he will handle his work right he may leave it saiely and go away for a cliange of scene and for a rest. There are countless men scattered over the country who would be mighty glad to have just such a job as the farmer has ; that is, au endless job. When a man is away looking for work and when his family is at home suifering for the needs that his wages must buy for them, the bugbear of an endless job loses all its gruesomeness and looks more like a blessing than a curse.

There is another side of the question also. These countless details tliab make farming an endless job are invariably of a na'ture t.hat will increase the profitableness of the farm and the farm stock. When a man is working in such a way as to constantly increase tlie value of ids holdings he takes such an interest in his work that all the hardship quickly fades away. There are a great many things tliat are worse than an endless job and consequently there are a great many things worse than farming.

While the svsteni is best when it is a connected one, this ismot necessary, it is wise to give first attention to the most heavily travelled roads as those leading to market centres and stations or to those which if improved would be heavily travelled.

Local conditions define the class of work to be carried out. In many places the .split-log drag is doing good service. In Harper's Weekly of lulv 23rd, an

I account is given of the dragging of a 380 mile piece of road through Iowa from the Missouri to the Mississippi, the drags being hitc'ned behind horses waggons and automobiles, with the result that the road is being kept in

roads would make a mighty diherence in their comlition. It is gratifying to see the change being wrought in the Main street of our town and with up-to-date and modern machinery in our midst which might be used on the main roads leading into town, there is a grand opportunity to see what can be done toward making a start on the permanent improvement of the county âds of (llengarcy-

The Cause of Most Illness—The Cure. Enrich the Blood Supply Any illness caused by lack of blood

will be benefited and cured by a course of treatment with Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills. These:, I’ills increase the red matter in the blood and enable it to carry to every or- gan and tissue an increased supply of oxygen, the great supporter of all organic life. This has been proved by cures in thousands of cases not only in Canada but in all parts of the world. More people to-day owe health and happiness to Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills than to any other medicine. One of these is Mr. James Starr, of Galahad, Alta., who says “A few years ago I became ill and very weak. Some days I would have a hot dry fever and on others would be bathed in a cold sweat. I grew weaker and weaker until I could do no kind of work and w'as finally confined to my bed. I tried several doc- tors, who cost me considerable money, but did me no good, as I was still getting w-eaker and weaker. I asked the last doctor who attended me to tell me frankly if he could cure me, and he told me my case was so complicated that he did not think he could help me. I told him 1 had Iieard a great deal about Dr. Wil- liams’ Pink Pills and asked ii he thought they would help me. His reply was : ‘Well, they won’t do you any harm and they may help you.’ I sent for a half dozen boxes at once and he.gan taking them. After taking three boxes there was no doubt they were helping me, and' l continued using them for some time longer. With the result that I am now as strong and hearty and can do «s good a day’s w'ork as any man in neighborhood.”

These Pills are sold bv all mecS- cine dealers or may be had by mail at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50 from The Dr. Williams’ Medi- cine Go., Brockville, Ont.

like the stripping feature and years down her milk accordingly. The going l)ack and milking the cow a

, second time is quite as bad, and she ! soon is at a loss to know at which I time the milk is wanted, and the I result is she quickly places herself ! in the non-paying class. ! Sit down to the cow. and go reso- • lutely, iu a business wav to work ;

milk fast—not in a jerky way—but with a steady, quick motion, until

, she is milked out clean, and then stop. -Uways milk with a steady, uniform motion; do not tug and jerk as if streams of milk were shoe laces.

THE BUSINESS DE FSSMINE lairying for Dollars

By Forrest Crissey Up in the rich dairy district round

about Klgin, Illinois, which still boasts of being the b.anncr milk and butter section of the country, ,Iud Mason is spoken of as “about as able a dairy farmer as you’ll lind, these days, in felt boots.” And generally the mention of his name will provoke the added comment : “If liC/Can’t turn feed into , milk and milk into money—with a good margin of prolit too—then nobody in Uiese parts can.’

As the Elgin butter market makes the price of tiiat product for the world, such a reputation in that particular locality ought to stand for sometliing in the eyes of the whole dairying fraternity. Besides, Jud Mason is known by his works at the Illinois and the Wisconsin Colleges of Agriculture. Inquiry at either of these colleges is almost certain to draw out the information that when it comes to a plain milk farm, witli- out any fancy trimmings, conducted for profit only, Mr. Mason’s outfit must be considered among the foremost.

So, in the hope that a first-hand study of Jud Mason’s farm and methods might throw clear and practical light on progressive, up-to-date practice in dairying, I paid a personal visit to his farm, driving six miles northeast of Elgin, through a pleasant, rolling prairie country. All about “the world’s butter center”—as the Elgin folks prefer to call their city— the country is peppered with fancy farms and splendid show places, the names of which may be read, in letters a yard ,long, on the fronts of great hip-roofed barms. But there is no name on Mason’s barn—not even a gilded cow on the weather-vane. I-Ie isn’t that kind of a farmdr. Hu wears felt boots in winter, and at all sea- sons he can milk more cows, night and morning, than the best hir(;Hl man he ever had.

With Jud Mason dairy farming is neither more nor less than a business —a manufacturing business at that.

“You can’t look at it from any other angle,” he explained, “and get the right light on it. Those who handle it as either more or less than a business generally get oK wdth a loss. Ever since I woke up and began to farm with my head, instead of doing it all by hand, I’ve tried to run the farm the same as I would any otherbusiness. My lands and buildings are my fixed capital, and my tools and stock are my working capital. The mark I aim at is to make my working capital pav as high a per cent upon my fixed capital as possible and at the same time to add something to the fixed capital in the shape of greater soil fertility. THE CTKAVEL-PIT STYLE OF

FARMING. “A good many farmers can show a

handsome profit on their fixed capital ' as long as they shut their eyes to the fact that they’ve simply been mining their land, not farming it. •You might just as well open up a gravel pit and load your farm into wagons at so much a square yard as to mine its fertility with crops, putting nothing back. There’s a surprising number of farmers doing this very thing with their own land, just because they’re asleep, or don’t know any better. When a tenant farmer does this with an owner who’ll let him get away with it, then it isn’t so surprising. But when you see a farmer eating up his fixed capital, his soil fertility, and deluding himself with the notion that he’s making money, you can’t help wondering how long such a man would last in the lumber, the hardware or the grocery business.”

The background of Mr. Mason’s life helps to shed light upon his succes.s as a dairy farmer. He left the home farm at eighteen, with the determin- ation to have one tliousand dolla;rs saved when he was twenty-one.. He worked for two years in the first cheese factory of the Elgin district, and then went to Missouri, where he followed the calling of cheesemaker for seven years. Then his father died and he returned home, buying out the interest of the other heirs in the home farm and its equipment. Of his ninety-eight acres a very considerable portion was either covered with brush or too wet to till, and all of the buildings were old and poor. For about three years he worked hard — with his hands—and at the end found that there was. just as heavy a mortgage on the place as when he began. He had just about made bo'th ends meet, that was all. He wanted to quit, but a good friend gave him sound advice and—he woke up. He saw that he must crowd things hard- er, and do more farming with his head than he had done* before. But he didn’t make the mistake—too com mon to the farmer who finds himself in a tight place—of seeing how much he could mine out of the farm on the gravel-pit basis. His first big step was to reclaim his waste land by cleaning up the brush and tiling out the low places. Money was worth something in those days, but he put

,one thousand dollars into his land in the shape of drain-tile. His waste land at once became his best and most productive land, and added one- third to his tillage and more than one-third to his production. He has since bought one hundred and eighty five acres adjoining his original holding and promptly subjected it to the drainage treatment. At least one- quarter of his present farm of two hundred and eighty-three acres has been reclaimed in this manner from almost total uselessness to a high state of productivity. He has a line of thirteen-inch tile running straight across his farm—a distance of eighty rods—and the main is well equipped with eight-inch and ten-inch feeders.

“You can’t bear down too hard on filing,” declares Mr, Mason, ^‘whea

it comes to making n farm pay real profits. It’s simp', applying sound business principle.. , farming. My farm will now prot.-.cc at least four times what it would before tiling and cleaning up the brush. The wettest land I now have is the highest point on the farm, and it yields the least.”

Stimulated by the increase, of his crops, cn'ccted by tiling, this awaken- ed farmer determined to put on new pressure all along the line ami to crowd things hard at every point. Having done something by \vay of boosting his fixed capital, he turned his attention nbxt to his working capital. After much meditation and figuring he went to Iowa in the fall and bought all the milch cows he could stable. The only feed that he bought was bran ; this- he fed, pound for pound, with the corn from his own fields. HOW BRAN PAYS FOR ITSELF.

In May, after having milked his cows all winter, he sold them for more than tliey had cost him in the fall. What was the result ? He had marketed his grain at a good figure ; he had made a large and profitable flow of milk in the winter when farm labor was sure and comparatively cheap, and when there was no other demand upon his time or that of the help by the crops, and he had put back upon his lamly in the form of soil fertility, more than his crops' had taken from it.

“You can always hear farmers grumbling that they can’t aflord to feed bran at present prices. I’ve always hciiii it and always expect to hear it. But the long and the short of it is that it puts back on the soil what the corn takes out. Lots of farmers will dispute this, but I’ll back the statement to a finish. Be- sides, bran is fine for the flavor of milk and butter and eKcellont for the health of the cows.”

Digging into Mr. Mason’s experience in “putting the pressure on,” I found that his crops from ninety- eight acres, with the addition of ten pounds of bran per cow per day, produced a can of milk a day for' each three cows, or twenty-five cans daily from his winter herd of seventy-live cows. As milk then was bringing a dollar a can, his monthly income from milk was seven hundred and fifty dollars. Four men did the milking. The feed, besides cut stalks or roughage, was ten pounds of ground corn and an equal weight of bran each day. That first year of higlicr pressure he not only increased his actual capital and made a good living, but he did very much to build up the fertility of Ms farm and paid oil thirty-five hundred dollars of his mortgage. 'This threw new heart in- to him. He felt that he had caught the hang of the dairy-farming business enough to branch out more and tiiereby get over the ground faster. Consequently he bought forty-five acres adjoining his own, at one hundred dollars an acre—tlie top price paid in that locality at that time, and built a good farmhouse the same year.

Though he had made a big forward stride Mr. Mason did not .jump to the conclusion that lie had learned it all; he knew he hadn’t. But he had mas- tered the one important lesson —that of farming on a business basis is simply the art of finding out new tilings by which to get more and better results out of the working capital, and at the same time to keep on building up the fixed capital.

“Just one thing, not big in itself” declares Mr. Mason, “did more than anything else to stimulate me to push on in the path of learning the new kind of farming. The last day of November I talked with my neighbor who had also waked up considerable, and said to him : “John, you know exactly how much your corn yielded to the acre and 1 know my yield. You feed bran and so do I. Now, let’s keep close track of things and see how much your acre and mine—with bran added—yield us in this month of December in milk and money. I was astonislicd when wc came to compare results. The yield in milk was pre- cisely the same—a can to each three cows ! But in money I was a little ahead of him, because I had contract cd iny milk at a trifle better price. My acre in corn, fed with its weight in bran, brought me seventy-four dollars and fifty cents, aftj- deducting the cost of the bran. His return was seventy-two dollars. There was something tangible to work on—and it did me a heap of good to know Just that simple, fact. Knowing this 1 wanted to know more.

“A business man would hardly he thought less than shiftless who couldn’t tell to a dollar how much he is adding each year to his fixed capital. My fixed capital was really in the shape of soil fertility rather than so much land, and I had only the va- guest idea of how much inv herd was [Contributing to that asset. So I put in cement floors and weighed the ac- cumulation of manure. Mv cows, I found, were producing from eighty- five to ninety-three pounds of fertilize-^ cr a day, or an average of a ton and a quarter a month to 1.he cow. Maybe that fact doesn’t mean something to the farmer ! And the mere knowing it is worth more to him than might at first appear. He has one more ele- ment ill his problem reduced to actual figures, and the farmer is, by just that much more, better able to calculate his methods and results, as a manufacturer calculates his results by knowing the exact amount of a certain by-product that will result from a given amount of his regular or staple production.”

MILK BETTER THAN MEAT .Mmost every dairy farmer is soon-

er or later tempted from the milky way by the lure of an easier life in the fattening of meat animals, Jud

Mason was not immune to that temp tation. He was willing to get his profits by the hard and tedious route of the milking, stool, if necessary ; but, if he cou/d avoid the milking stool and the feching forearms and still get the profits, he had no senti- ment about cow^-Jihat would stand between himself and the easier way.

Consequently, one fall he bought steers instead of cows and hung the the milking stools up for a winter’s rest. Mis feeding put four hundred and fifty-two pounds on each steer, and also made fourteen dollars on the hog that “followed” it. His steers bought him five thousand dollars for his corn ami his labor. This looked mighty good to him, and the next year he went into the fattening game still more heavily, feeding one hundred and three steers and two hundred hogs. When they were all marketed he Lad ten thousand three hundred dollars in his wallet.

Then, for tlio sake of contrasting experience, he went hack again to winter dairying. There was only a difference of fifty dollars in the re- turns from his milk in the next twelve months and the amount that he had received the year before from his fat steers and hogs. But this time liis farm was not swept clear of working capital ; he still had the machinery, in the form of cows,which was producing him an income of fifty dollars a day ; and these cows were worth more than he had paid for them in the fall. In other words, his surplus over his venture in steers was fifty dollars plus one hundred and twenty cows salable at fifty-five dollars each, or a total of sixty-six hundred and fifty dollars, to say nothing ôf the value of the hogs. “To my mind,” commented Mr. Mason, “this experience put right down before me, in practical results as plain as a haystack against the skyline, tlie difiercncc between stock fattening and dairying. After this it’s dairying for me.”

“Well, that argument was worth just seven hundred and twenty dollars to me. I asked for a cent a gallon above the market, hut the buyer held me down to an advance of six cents a can instead of eight. In the light of that experience I have never been satisfied to take a certain price simply because it was considered standard and others wore getting it. No, sir ! I push and crowd on the selling end just as hard as on the producing end of the business.”

“How about the marketing end of your business ?” I asked Mr. Mason.

“It pays,” was his quick reply, “to put on the pressure there as well as everywhere else. One year I made seven hundred dollars in clean cash just by trying to sec what I could do in the way of getting a better price —in other words, I got it by going out after it, and going hard, 1 didn’t have much faith that I could do it, to tell the truth, but that didn’t pre vent me from trying. The standard price of milk was one dollar a can, and to ask a buyer for an advance over that would look a good deal like an impertinence to him. If I could have claimed that my milk was fancy and contained a much higher percent- age of butter fat than the general run, there might, perhaps, have been an excuse in the eyes of the buyer for my demand. But my cows were Hols teins, and while luy milk was right up to the required test of richness I couldn’t claim any particular margin above that. When the buyer smiled and wanted to know why he should pay me above the standard price, I told him because he knew from experience that he could rely on just so much milk from me. that I didn’t cut down on my feed, and that, when flytime came on, 1 kept mv herd vShel- tered in a big, cool barn where the flies had no chance to drag them down and reduce the milk flow.

That year Mr. Mason’s herd of about one liuiidred cows produced twelve thou.sand eiglit-gallon cans of milk, which brought him twelve thousand seven hundred and twenty dollars. In the next six month he made fifteen hundred dollars more than half his business for the preceding year. Incidentally, Mr. Mason remarked that dairy farming is as good a business as he ever wants to find, and that there are precious few businesses in which a man may rightly figure one-half his gross income as profits. Though he will not confess to clearing up six thousand dollars or more a year, in addition to the main ele- ments of the family living, if his the- ory that one-half the income from a well-managed dairy farm is profit, then a child can figure that Jud Ma- son—with. a dairy producing twelve thousand seven hundred dollars a year and with hogs, young stock and other incidental sources of income — must clean up, ou that basis, seven thou- .sand dollars or more a year. Just now he is putting in the winter even- ings studying automobile literature, and trying to decide what style of a motor car will be carrying him down to Elgin when motoring weather comes again.

Could he make anything like his present income in other line of business ? He would probably be the last man to admit such a possibility. Be- ing a good judge of cattle, he might, if very lucky, approach it as a cattle buyer ; but he knows of nothing to which he could turn his hand that would hold out any moral certainty of yielding him half as much as he makes from his farm.

Prevent and Relieve Headache

“It gives me great pleasure to be able to refer to Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills as the best remedy we have yet had in our house for the prevention and cure of headache. My wife who has been a constant sufferer for a number of years with above complaint joins me in the hope that they may fall into the hands of all sufferers.”

JOHN BUSH, Watervleit, Me.

Used Them Four Years. “Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills

are the best I ever tried for the relief of headache. I have used them for nearly four years and they never fail to give me relief. I have tried many other remedies, but have never found any better.”

JOSEPH FRANKOWICK, 854 Trombly Av., Detroit, Mich.

There is no remedy that will more quickly relieve any form of headache than

Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills. The best feature of this re-

markable remedy is the fact that it does not derange the stomach or leave any disagreeable after- effects.

JUST LISTEN. Just keep yoiii* ears open. There is always some one to air

himself or herself at every evening out.

Take a rest and listen. When some one tells a good story

don’t try to rob him of the credit of being the first to spring it in this quarter. Don’t tell him you heard it before. Ijaugh.

Don’t try to go him one better. T.et him get away with tlie idea that he is the whole cheese.

•Just listen. This homely young woman has a

great many secrets in her mind, and lias many warm friends that we know of, just because she is a good lislen- cr.

Some of us are all mouth and liavc got to 1)0 lieard.

We not only borrow sugar and butter from our neiglibors, l)ut tell Ihein our seend.s, mueh to their delight- how much our husbauil makes, hew’ we are connecte(i, .and who wc associ- ated with in the last town or block wo lived in.

A good listener .soon acquires an acute hearing, not the kind that drops flown to keylioies, but one that is at- t)ined to life’s soygs, that hears the countless sweet sounds on every side.

Tlie poison who is always talking, tires liimself and his company, hut the person who, with eves and ears, is an eloquent listener is flaily adding much treasure to the storehouse, and making for liimsidf new friends.

Will KIDNEVS miE WEAK BODIES

Kidney Disease Cau.scs Half the Comaion Aches and UIs of Alexandria

People.

As one weak link weakens a chain, so weak kidneys weaken the whole body and hasten Uic final breaking down.

Overwork, strains, colds and other causes injure the kidneys, and when their activity is lessened the whole body siifiers from the excess of uric poison circulated in the blood.

.Aches and pains and languor and urinary ills come, and there is an ever-increasing tendency towards di- abetes and fatal Briglit’s disease. There is no real help for the sufierer except kidney pills.

Booth’s Kidney Pills act directly on the kidneys and cure every kidney Mrs. Jane Fabery, of 5(»fi Pacific Ave,

Winnipeg, Man., .says : “After suffering dreadfully yvith

rheumatism in my right hip and terrible pains across my back for years, I am more than pleased to say that Booth’s Kidney IMlls have cured me.

The rheumatism pains in mv hip were so .severe that I could not lie on iny right hip at all and could hardly move in bed. My back was so weak and painful that after stooping over I could not straighten up for some moments, and when 1 would attempt to do .so, 1 could scarcely bear the pains that would shoot all through me. I had tried nil kinds of remedies for this trouble, without finding relief. Booth’s Kidney Pills have done their work well in my case, and I

ORIGINATOR OF SP00WEBISW&, i

Head of New College, Oxford, Is DrJ

Spooner. One of the moat celebrated men ini

England to-day ia Dr. Spooner, head! of New College, Oxford, who hâa giy«i en to the English language the ternv “Spoonerism.

It is doubtful, perhaps, if the quaint little doctor has perpetrated one of the verbal mixups to which his name has been given, but genera* tions of undergraduates have exer* cised their ingenuity in fabricating examples. Most people at soma time or other have unwittingly mada a spoonerism, but the New Collega don is supposed to make them all day long.

A spoonerism consists of the trans* position of the initial letters of twd or more words in the same sentence. Some of the best known examples attributed to the head of New CoUega arc supposed to have been made ati table or in the college chapel.

Once when ho wanted some stewed figs he is said to have electrified ft lunciheon party by asking a lady to pass him the pigs' fieas. Those who know the doctor would understand ati once that he was merely asking for "the figs, please,"

At thé same luncheon he is said to have asked his neighbor to hava “some of this stink pu3," pointing to an ornamental dish of pink jelly. In chapel H is recorded that he has read out the first line of the well known hymn which starts 'TFrom Green- land's icy mountains" as “From Ice- land's greasy mountains," and hao spoken of the wicked men whwea words were '*as ears and sparrows.**

Once, when he was not officiating in the service, he was su^rised to find some one occupying bis pew ia chapel and addressed nim sternly with “Are you aware, sir, that yoa are occupewing my pie?"

One of the quaintest mixups pn€ down to him is perhaps a phrase he once used in a sermon. Speaking ot the vague, half formed wish so o^nl experienced in the mind, he saidj “We all know what it ia to have ft half wanned fish ia us."

I/ate lor dinner one night, he exfiedl into the room with the expUnatioii that he been *%3atohing a pasty snlpe/^ Even an <M trvvlfV Would take a moment or two to translato this into “snatching a hasty pip©."

His poetical description ol a gypsy encampment as “a tipsy gent pitched in a pot of grease" was even more complicated. Of course he mean^ "ft gypsy tent pitched in a grot of peace.*^ His description of his baggage to ai railway porter as “two rags and ft bug" was simpler.

There is something forced perhaps in his definition of a happy eveziing; as reading quietly by the fireside,, while his dear wife was ‘"hitting the» nose" of his little one.

DT. Spooner is an albino with thal weak sight characteristic of the type.' He is a^-somewhat absentminded. , j A Four-Legged Bird.

The crested hoaetzin of British Gui- ana is the only survivor of a certai*; race of birds, most of which are now known only as fossils. The hoacUim inhabits the most secluded forests oC South America, and its survival be- yond its congeners is doubtless owing: to its retiring habits and to the facil that it feeds on wild arum leaves,, which gives its flesh a most ofiensivft flavor, rendering it unfit lor food.

The chief peculiarity of the hosetziu! consists in the fact that when it U: hatched it possesses four welVdevelop-i ed legs. The young birds leave thef nest and climb about like monkeys» over the adjoining limbs, and looki more like tree-toads than birds.

The modification of the fore limbai begins at once after hatching, wbeni the claws of the digits fall off andl the whole claw-like hand begins to» flatten and becomes wing-shaped. Fea- thers soon appear, ana before full! growth is reached not a vestige f6-> mains of the original character. '

T^ adult birds not only have no» claws upon their wings, but theifj thumbs even are so poorly developed! that one would hardly suspect thatl in the nestlings we have thie nearest» approach to a quadruped found amoogj existing birds. ,

“You know, Mr. Alma-Tadema, think it’s absurd to say that vou ûdi Mr. Du Maurier are so awfully alike.j There's really no resemblance ai all.| Don't you agree with me?"

FASfiJONS .Quite the smartest and the most

successful of the w^hite frocks for afternoon wear are the simplest, 'i'he great fashion authorities are everywhere emphasizing the charm of the graceful outline and attaching the greatest possible importance to bring this result about without any ex- traneous help from furbelows. The dominant white frock is made over a one-piece lining that is cut on the simplest of lines and has no bones in it. The skirts.arCyOf three styles, the flounced, the pulled, and the straight and scant model finished with a four inch hem. ’At first glance the volu- minous skirts appear to be of endless width and fulness, but although a great deal of material goes into their makeup, 'they, are invariably mounted over the closest fitting and narrow- est of foundations', so narrow oft- times that it scarcely seems as if it were quite safe to attempt a step that is" longer than an inch or two.

’A "bodice and overskirt or tunic of broderie Anglaise over a skirt of plain stuff or of lace are often seen and some of these are not so expen- ! sive as models apparently more simple. This is because ailover embroidery or .deep flouncing is often used, and though in fine, quality such embroidery is expensive enough, it is by no means, - so expensive as embroidery done to order .on the. frock material.'

♦ *

Odd thin blouses and washable skirts take the lead for morning wear at the seashore as the season ad- vances. The. simplest of Dutch neck blou.ses' are the most popular. Those cut collarless and worn without extra collar or jabot are favored for hot days.

Among tlie 'dress novelties may be mentioned a ‘.new form of cloak—one that is particularly becoming to a tali figuier—made of reversible cloth, whiclu may^ be wôrn on either side. This cloak'falls to the skirt hem, has quite large revers on either side of the front, and raglan sleeves, which arc long and hanging. Some of these cloaks are made dark on the one side and lighter on the other, so that the dark side may be used for day wear and the lighter one for evening. The revers are delightfully arranged,ligiit on the dark side of the coat and dark on the light side.

* * *

<\Ve see black on white, and vice' versa. Just so that while and black ■ are combined, it matters not how. One cannot distinguish between those ill mourning and those who follow the mode Tor its sake alone. The most elegant tailor suits seen lately have been of salin and moire, all black. Moire is rather a recent arrival, and it is smart, certainly, but not more so than satin, for there is something ' extremely liard about the moire,which renders it unbecoming to many women.

* * *

'Black and white thin frocks are \Qiy modish made on belted models, vvithô.w-eut flounced neck and elbow sleeves. A certain black and white thin, mull or batiste having black ground with white polka dots priut-

. ed on ,‘it, and a conventional border of the,dots, makes a very pretty sum mer costiuue. This polka dotled’Swiss is inexpensive, but it makes up most t'uocUvelv. flhe same design in red, heliotrope or dark blue ’is much in vogue.

fl'here is a fashion for wearing i|ainc-cuU>red girdles, hats and silk siockinga with white gowns, and while it is dashing, it never reaches llic diguitv* of the black anu white combiner!. 'I'he chiïïoii cloth girdle is rather a'nice touch: It'is a.a impiXH'e meni on the safin one. .'Hie latter was too heavy for extra sheer white frocks. Tlie chifion is just ri.ght ' in texture, and it can be. draped in charming folds. It is knotted at the side and has two long (mds that drop straight _ to the hem ; or, stalking from front and back of the left hip, they are arranged into a knot ahuve Uie knee and hang limply from there.

In these days, when the gowns of i fashionable women, no matter h.ow expensive they .may i)c. are <iisiiii* guished bv au unusual simplicity of line, it is’ not surprising UuU frocks fgr little girls should be marked by the same characteristic. CAuie the smartest dresses for little women ate those in one-piece llussiau st\ le. which have the long, straight lines SO much desired in growm- ip cost urnes Bouffant little skirts are .^til! worn, it is true, but with the little people, as with their elders, the straight

silhouetle is the most itjodish. The little Uus.sian costumes'are made in every kind of matcriar'suitable for children's wear—in the finest lawns, as well as in the more substantial ginghams, chambrays, linens and pi- ques. Often the belt is passed under the plaits through worked slits, so that the lengthwise lines are emphasized. One frock of this kind wiiich was intended for dress occasions was quite as simple as those that' are worn at play every day by anv number of little girls, its espociarcharm being the beauty and fineness of the materials used. The main fabric was French lawn, and the square neck,the sleeves and the bottom of the skirt were finished with bands of Irish cro- chet about two inches wide, wiiich were, in turn, edged with \‘alencien- ncs. A belt of soft pink satin ribbon was passed under the Plaits and fastened in a soft bow at one side.

Among-the things pronii.sed for the next season by those who are view- ing the situation in Paris is tlie waist higlier than the normal, and a number of gowns worn recently in which this feature was strongly marked have occasioned much comment. One of these was an Empire .gown with the bodice in the form of an odd little jacket Confined just below the bust by a, cord. From under the cord came a frill only two or throe inches in depth of the same material as the jacket and apparently a continuation of it. The jacket had short sleeves and the neck opened in a deep over collarless vest. Both neck and sleeves were finished with plaited frills. 'I'hc quaintness of the costume was emphasized by the contrast between the jacket, whicli was of dark blue taf- feta, and the narrow, straight skirt of white, mull.

The embroidered shantun.gs in natural color with eyelet and drawn- work designs in white are' particularly lovely. And the einhruidere<I designs in black and mauve on natural color, both in robes and the piece goods, rivet the attenlion of the sum mer shopper.

Every frock has the lowycut or Dutch iiedv. All sorts of ruflies rcad-v to use may be purchased in the shops; these are utilized about, t,lui turned-in necks of odd blouses and with either side plaited liounce or black satin bow they look quite smart. Some .summer frocks have, the plain square cut neck, generally fashioned by miter ina insertion at the corner.

mmMm SUGGESTIONS 'I’he loliowing method of “hanging”

a skirt is one used by some oi the best tailors, and can easily be prac-

j tised by tiîe home dress|naker. »SUp I the skirt on ami pin carefully at the ! waist line; ihen place the yardstick i against liie dress, with the end rcst- I ing firmly on tlie floor, and place a ' pin or chalk-mark where the other ; end of the stick touches the skirt at ' the iiips. Uepeul this process round the skirt — being careful always to Iiave‘the end of the stick resting on the floor—until a row of pins or a chalk-mark encircles the hips of the skirt. If it is desired to have the skirt two inches irom the floor, measure thirty-four inches from the line of pins or chalk-marked and turn the at that point. By following this me- tliod it is impossible to have a poorly hung skirt.

More bread and Better bread Ând the Reason for it

A STRONG FLOUR can only • be made from strong 'wheat. Manitoba hard wheat is acknowledged the strongest in the world— and that is the kind used for Purity Flour.

But that’s not all. Every grain of this wheat contains both high- grade and low-grade properties. In separating the high-grade parts from the low-grade the Western Canada Flour Mills put the hard wheat through a process soexacting that not a single low-grade part has the remotest chance of getting in with the high-grade-

Of course this special process is more expensive to operate but it means a lot to Purity flour users— that’s why we use it.

It means that Purity Flour is made entirely of the high.est-grade flour parts of the strongest wheat in the world.

It means a high-class, strong flour and therefore yields “more bread and better bread«“

Purity may cost a little more than some flours, but results prove it the cheapest and most econom- ical after all.

FIGHT IN THE DARK story of a Duel In the Carpetbag

; Days In the South.

By ROCKFORD KIbfG. [Copyright, 1910, by American Press Asso-

ciation.] My father was a South Carolinian.

He was graduated at West Point served twelve years In the artillery, married a northern woman and resigned. Some time after bis death i found myself In possession of a plantation In his native state. This was shortly after the civil war, and a plantation in the south was worthless unless made valuable by close attention and special effort {î?herefore I re- soTved to go and live on it and man- age it myself.

That was the “carpetbag” period, and there was a great deal of prejudice against northerners. Strange as

AS WB PASSED EUl HE HISSED ‘YA2TMB OUR!”

it may seem, my only intimate friends were two or three ex-officers of the disbanded Confederate arosdes. Among them was a physician, Dt. Axmitage, who bad been a regimeiit^l surgeon. These men not only called db me, but InrUed me to their houses. When I ’ told them that 1 was doubtful as to whether it would pay me to suffer the *%llngs and arrows” constantly firéd at me by my neighbors they promised to stand by me, and if 1 would be pa- tient the persecution would eventually die down.

Rosalind Armltage, the doctor’s daughter, was ten years my junior. There was in her veins through her mother the blood of Norway. This gave her a mingling of physical features that was peculiar, not to say beautiful. She had Titian hair, dark eyes, fair skin, with roses In the cheeks. She was a very hot rebel, but this did uqt keep us from falling in love with each other. Her father, though my senior by fifteen years, became my intimate friend, and he made no objection to the match. We were married, a few of the neighbor- ing planters coming to the wedding. The balance would not attend the nup- tials of a southô girl with a northern man.

The’ man who persecuted me most effectually was an Irishman named Murphy. He had been an overseer before the war and during the struggle had made money by getting cotton through the Federal lines and selling

at an enormous price. As soon as the Confederacy collapsed be bought a plantation near mine and began to court the society of those who had al ways regarded him as an Inferior. His bitterness against me was Intended as a means of currying favor with them.

When It became necessary in conse- quence of an Insult received from Mur- phy that applied equally to me and to Dr. Armitage to call the enemy to account there arose between the doctor and me a dispute as to which should have the post of combatant Murphy had stated publicly in the bar of the tavern that Armitage In receiving a “northern mudsill” Into his family was a traitor to the south and that he (Murphy) proposed to drive me back north, where I came from. Here were two men Insulted. I as the younger man and the first cause of the trouble argued that I should resent it Dr. Armitage argued that as a northern man I was not fitted for such a contest with a southerner who had be- longed to the poor white class, and it was his own part, both for himself and his daughters husband, to chastise Murphy. And chastisement, of course, meant a shooting match.

Both Mrs. Armitage and my wife, who knew of the trouble, were very much frightened, understanding that Murphy’s insult In South Carolina must be resented and dreading the consequences. Armitage called a meeting of several of his intimate friends and asked them what course they recommended him and me to pursue. They were very indignant at Murphy’s act, and some were In favor of sending a committee to him to request that he leave the state. Neither the doctor nor 1 would assent to this. Then one of the planters asked if some ruse <v>nid not be adopted by which Mur- phy would be put out of the fight I'hN found favor with my tsiiuef tn law. and be adjoamed the

meeting, saying that he would think It over.

The result was that the nest day be told me be had formed a plan. I was to purposely meet Murphy and slap his face. Some of our friends were to go with me to see that Mur- phy did not draw a knife or a pistol on me. the object being to force him to challenge me. The plan the doctor had in view turned upon the terms, which were sure to give me an advantage over my enemy—indeed, so great an advantage that while 1 conld con- quer him, 1 need not kill him. In other words, the affair was to be not a duel, but a method of ridding us both of Murphÿ’s persecution.

The next evening I went to the bar- room of The tavern where Murphy had given the Insult and where i knew he was to be found every evening drink- ing mint Juleps. 1 entered ' the room With two friends, and, that 1 might not tie cbnslêrea to have come especially to find him, we called for juleps, paying no attention to Murphy, who sat at a table with another man. On seeing me he scowled, but said nothing till we had finished our juleps and were about to leave. As we passed him he hissed:

j “Yankee cur!” ] I brought the palm of my band

across his cheek and quickly stepped , back, and my friends placed them- ' selves between him and me. One of

them said to him: [ “You have repeatedly Injured a man

whose ancestors were South Caro- liniaus. He is worthy of his fathers, and, though they were gentlemen,

j which you are not, he is ready to give you satisfaction. 1 shall expect to hear from you at my house at your convenience.”

I With that we left the tavern. ' Mr. Murphy now had to choose be-

tween sending me a challenge and being considered in the neighborhood what he had called me—a “cur.” The challenge came, and I banded it to Dr. Armitage. A reply went back that I would meet Murphy, but, being the challenged party. I must Insist on my

* own terms. These were cavalry sa- ' bers In a dark room, the time limit of I the contest to be fifteen nüoute^ at ■ the explratioD of which the dooi^ I were to be thrown open and the affair , 9-t meeting was

to be 8 o'clock p. m. or at twilight I Twenty-four hours elapsed and we ' were beginning to think that Murphy I had been bluffed when a repljf téîûê

accepting the terms. A bedroom was secured at the tavern from, which every article of furniture was removed except the carpet There were but two windows, which were boarded up, rendering the toora as nearly dark as possible.

At half past 7 Dr. Armitage, my second, and myself entered the tavern and passed upstairs to a waiting room that had been assigned us. The doctor took out of his vest pocket a vial and a camel’s hair brush.

“Sit down there,” he said, pointing to an easy chair.

I obeyed, and, dipping the brush in the vial, the doctor drew the former across my eyes. This done he bandaged them, and I remained for some twenty-five minutes in total darkness. At 8 o’clock the bandage was removed. I passed across a hallway and entered the room where 1 was to meet Murphy. There was another door by which he was introduced to the room. The two doors were closed simultane- ously, and we were In total darkness.

At least we were supposed to be In total darkness. Murphy was really so. I was not. Dr. Armitage, having dllat- ^ ed the pupils of my eyes by means of a drug and then having kept them bandaged for awhile, had enabled me to take advantage of the little light that filtered through any crack In the windows or between the door and the sill. 1 was astonished, knowing, as I did. that every possible ray had been shut out from the room.' that 1 could see Murphy with fair distinctness. 1 could also see that he was oblivious to every object In the room. Including myself. |

I advanced stealthily and touched his chest with the point of my saber. He drew back, and I made a detour to another part of the rooYU. It was amusing to see him grope, every mo- , ment expecting that he might receive a thrust I could not discover the ex- ‘ pression on his face, but his attitudes were quite plain to me. Most of the , time he sidled along the wall, but at the slightest sound from me would ; retreat In any direction his fright die- j- tated. !

For awhile I amused myself by getting quite near him and touching him with my saber. His agony at | sueb times must have been extreme, j But, finding that my increased sight i was diminishing. 1 presently began : to give him some stinging blows with ’ the flat of the steel. In this way 1 felt Justified in punishing him for his j insolence and now and again be- labored him soundly. He struck at \

me wildly, but 1 was never where his thrusts came or his blows fell. .Once be made so quick a stab that I barely had time to avoid getting the point

■of his weapon in my ribs. Irritated, I approached him and gave him a . blow on the cheek that drew blood. ^ At that moment the doors were | thrown open, and. with a cry of ' “Time’s up!” the seconds rushed In ! to stop the fray. I

The strain on Murphy had been so ■ terrible that as soon as It was over , he swooned. I think I should have * done the same had an unseen enemy ! been thrusting a saber at me for a j quarter of an hour, I expecting with ! every thrust to be killed. As It was, I got credit for extraordinary nerve, no one being in the secret except Dr. Armitage, my second, and myself. Neither Mr. Armitage nor my wife knew anything about the affair till it was all over.

Murphy never troubied us again.

FRECKLES. The Events That Started a Poor

Boy on His Career.

By IRA TEN BROECK. [Copyright, 1910, by American Press Asso-

ciation.] A zephyr of wind caught up a sheet

of paper from the editor’s desk and sent It whirling out through the open window. What the editor said is su- perfluous.

Branton was Just rising from his chair to recover the manuscript as a ragged urchin entered the door of the Pinetown Chronicle. When he caught sight of the boy he did what any mor- tal being possessed with an al>iding sense of the ridiculous would have done—he fell back into his chair and laughed.

“Here’s yer paper, mister,” announced the boy by way of introduction. “1 seen It blow out th’ window an’ fetch- ed it in.” . ,

Chance sometimes plays strange tricks. Had anybody told Branton an hour earlier that a gust of wind would blow him fortune he would have laughed at the absurdity of the suggestion.

“Thank you. Freckles,” he said. “Here, take this dime for your trouble.” The freckled face of the boy broke Into a smile as he pocketed the coin and turned to go. He paused at the door, and Branton, looking up from his writing a moment later, saw him standing Irresolutely on the doorslll.

Kind hearted Jim Branton was quick to surmise that the lad bad something more to say. “Anything I can do for you, son?” he asked kindly.

“N-no, I guess not.” answered the boy. “Only 1 thought p’rhaps you could give me something to do. Y’ see, mister, I don’t know nobody here, an* I ain’t got no place to go, an’ If you could”— He stopped awkwardly and fumbled with his fingers.

A few hours later John Jupln, alias Freckles, late of the city of New York,

•*1 WANT YOU TO ACT AS RBPOETBR.”

was engaged In sorting the contents ol one of those receptacles known in the parlance of the printing office as the hellbox.

The months that followed were strenuous ones for the Chronicle. Pinetown was in the throes of a political battle over the purchase of a municipal waterworks system. From the first Bran- ton ‘stood firm for municipal owner- ship, and for a time everything seemed favorable, but then the tide turned.

. The political party in the minority saw an opportunity to create a senti- ment against the project and charged openly that it was a scheme for graft on the part of the party in office. Branton remained firm In his position.

Affairs were at this point when the leadef of the opf>oaition made Branton an offer to desert the now unpopular cause.

All this Freckles learned as he toiled over his types, and he gained a keen insight into the contest. At leisure moments he joined groups of politicians on the street and listened nnob- served to the He gath- ered a fund of information,

The linotypes were merrily hum- ming and clanking one evening a year after Freckles came to the office of the Chronicle. He had made remarkable progress tn his work and through the kindness of Branton bad attended the sessions of a night school. He bent all his energies to make the best of his opportunities, and at the end of the term be had graduated near the head of his class.

Freckles was perched upon a box setting headings from a case that was too high for him. He was wondering bow much longer Branton could hold out.^for it was an open secret that the (Jhronicle was near the end of its resources. Suddenly he read two lines that startled him: HEAVIEST TAXPAYER RECONSID-

ERS ATTITUDE.

DONNELJLY FAVORS PURCHASE OF WATERWORKS.

“Donnelly.*” Where bad he beard that name? Then like a flash be remembered—big Jim Donnelly, one of the leaders of the opposition, the man who had been foremost in denouncing the project Donnelly reconsiders? Imposslbie! Only the day before Freckles remembered be bad beard

him say:.“We have won. boys. The election next November Is ours.” There was treachery somewhere. Be must see Branton

Excitement prevailed In the editorial rooms of the Chronicle that evening. Branton was jubilant With Donnelly in favor of the project its success was assured. The nows had startled him. Indeed, but he cast all suspicions aside when his reporter came In from a personal Interview with the leader. Now he saw the Chronicle restored In the good graces of the public and his sacrifices repaid. Freckles found him merrily typewriting an editorial.

“If you please, Mr. Branton, can I see you a minute?” he asked as the latter paused to make a correction.

Branton wheeled around. “Why, hello. Freckles,” he said. “What’s the matter? Going to give me notice that you’ve accépted a position as president ci the bank?”

Freckles ignored his Interrogation and delved at once Into the object of his visit. “Mr. Branton, this head is wrong,” he said. “There must be a mistake.” Then he repeated what he had heard Donnelly say. Branton smiled amusedly.

“Freckles, you’re wrong this time- dead wrong. That head describes with minute exactitude just what has oc* curred. We had it from Donnelly himself, through Billy Curtis.” He turned to his desk. “It’s all right Don’t won*y!”

Freckles was nonplused. He went slowly back to the composing room, thinking hard. ' What had made Don- nelly change his mind so suddenly, or had he changed? It must all be a a mistake. There must be treachery somewhere.

The next day there was great excitement in Pinetown. The office of Jim Donnelly was flooded with visitors* while the big boss passed around cigars to his anxious friends and explained that the esteemed Chronicle had had a “pipe dream.” The prestige of that newspaper seemed forever lost —to all except Branton.

In the office of the Chronicle there was equal turmoil. Billy Curtis, the reporter responsible for the article that had set all Pinetown a-quiver with excitement, had resigned and was not to be found. Rumor said he had held an early conference with Donnelly before the presses of the Chronicle were through that morning and had left for the far west Bran- ton experienced a feeling nearer akin to disappointment than he had yet known. The treachery of CJurtls was eyi^^nt

The needs of the present aronsed him from his reverie. Some one must be found at once to take CJnrtis* place, seme one he could trust In his dilem- ma be thought of Freckles.

“I can trust him,” he mused. “Any- how. he can find ^nt what is happen- ing, and I can write the articles at present” So Freckles was roused out of his bed at 10 o’clock by a messen- ger and ordered to report at the oflfica at once. He went in fear, dreading h# knew not what. Branton was await- ing him.

“Freckles,” said Branton, “1 have made up my mind that we don’t need you In the composing room any longer.” and Freckles trembled. The next moment he could have shouted for joy. “1 want you to act as reporter for me temporarily.” Then he explained.

I So Freckles went forth from the office an hour later with a jubilant

' heart notwithstanding the prospect» of the Chronicle. Branton had uncon- sciously stumbled upon one of the secrets of success. He had made an ally of his helper.

' He first went to the humble luneb room where he had taken his meals since his arrival in Pinetown. His head was literally awhlrl with his sudden promotion. He bore In mind Branton’s last words: “And, above all. Freckles, don’t let anybody know who you are. Keep that low.” In spite of his small stature. Freckles was now eighteen years old, and his sudden good fortune made him feel a. man grown. His hard knocks in battling for an existence had taught him many things that were to stand him in good stead. Branton had chosen wisely.

Residents of Pinetown will always recall the events of the following day. The Chronicle was filled with remarks

! by eminent politicians never meant for . publication, with here and there a I caustic comment by Branton. The lasi I number of the Chronicle was sold be- : fore the sun was two hours higB, and * Donnelly and his colleagues were rag- [ Ing. The strange part was nobody 1 knew how Branton had secured his In- ! formation. Nobody had seen him about, 1 nor had any one observed the little j figure that quietly lingered near groups I of politicians as they conferred in low } tones. Freckles went about without

attracting' suspiefotfr and tb® leaders * began to whisper of treachery and of

betrayed confidence, Tbe_ngtt the next the ChronlcleVontalned edify- ing news morsels aqd told of the grow- Ing spirit of disruption among the leaders. Donnelly grew alarmed as leading citizens began to sit up and take notice. The circulation of the Chron- icle Increased by leaps and bounds. Freckles was. Indeed, “making good.”

The tide of public opinion soon turned, and Freckles became established In the office of the Chronicle as head reporter, and Branton always said tbs change was brought about by a sheet of paper blowing from his desk ons afternoon.

About-a year after his promotion Re- porter John Jupin made a trip to New York and after three days’ abseocs returned with a careworn old lady, happiness beaming from her wrinkled face, and introduced her to Branton ai “my mother.” After that be bought a borne in the suburbs, where, like tb^ say in the fairy talea, they Oved hap py ever afterward.

Excur- sions will be run from Ottawa and other points, so that the Factory Town will see one, of the largest crowds in its history on this occasion.

* * ■ *. It is reassuring to find that apple-

growing is not declining in Ontario as had been reported. It should ex- pand, and probably the truth is that it is not expanding as much as it should. The prices which people in Alexandria have had to pay for apples the last few years shows that with increased producôn there might still be good profits at less prices.

A number of rural schools of this county opened for the autumn term on Monday last, but as this is harvest time ami labor is scarce, even the small boy is put to use on the farm and consequently for a week or so, the attendance at school will be slim.

People arc now asking, what was gained by the strike that could not have been secured by more peaceful methods ? The answer invariably is, nothing on either side. A strike is like a battle in which both sides bear the scars. Those who live by the sword must expect to die by the sword.

Amid cheers, and by a unanimous vote, the C.M.B.A. convention at Ot- tawa last week, after a session last- ing till after midnight, decided to amend the constitution so that no one in future be admitted to menfber- ship who gains his livelihood from the manufacture or sale of intoxicat- ing liquor. Rev. Father McNeil, of Nova >Scotia, one of the best known advocates of temperance in the Cat- holic Church of Canada, swayed the convention with a masterly appeal for temncrance, plending that the association be made a pillar of the church. « * ♦

The White Citv of the World’s Fair, as the Belgians have called their 1910 exposition at' Brussels, was practically reduced to ruins by fire, Sunday evening, A spark falling into inflam- mable material in the telegraph build ing burst into flames which driven by a high wind swept rapidly in all di- rections, destroying among others the Belgian, English and French sections At the time there were upwards of 100,000 men, women’ and children on the grounds w'ho fought madlv to get away, many being trampled nnder foot and several lives lost. It is estimated that the loss will run well into the millions. ^

A falling ofi of about 10,000 men is reported from the attendance at this year’s militia corps. The total will be around 40,000. The normal is nearer 50,000. The prosperity of the country and the resultant employ- ment arc assigned as the reasons for the diminished attendance. The outlay on the annual training will be around $1,250,000.

Thanks to the rural telephone in many parts of the country the farmer no longer lives an isolated life. Glen- garry county is amongst those which have several miles of rural teleplione. The farmer with a telephone is no more isolated than his brother in the city, indeed often far less so, for the city man often does not know his next door neighbor. The farmer knows everybody and, thanks to the wonderful invention of Prof. Graham Bell, Can talk to them all day or any minute of the night.

For some days past, Mr. Alexander Dickson, of Lancaster, toured the counties of Glengarry, Prescott and Russell, for the Ontario Government inspecting apiaries. Owing to some cases of the disease known as Amer- ican foul brood having appeared in parts of the Western Province, it was deemed advisable to have experienced apiarists'visit the various bee- keepers throughout Ontario. Mr. Dickson, we understand, found no sign of the disease in this section which comprises nearly 4000 colonies. The honey of Glengarry, he adds, never was better than it is this season.

Get an exhibit ready for the coming Fall Fair. Friendly rivalry is one of the best means of opening the door to improvement, even if every competi- tor docs not secure a red ticket. This is ah agricultural country and there sliould be at least ten times as many exhibitors at the Fall Exhibitions as are to be found. You owe it to your vocation and your example may in- spire many, others to do their part. 'I'lio time will soon be at hand so/let a start he made at once for both in- door and outside departments ' of the coming Fair.

During the last session of the On- tario Legislature a number of changes were made in the game laws, one of which was the changing of the opening day for duck shooting from Sept. 1st to Sept. 15th. At this latter date the young ducks of the different Varieties that breed in and around our marshes and swamps during the spring and summer will be larger, in better plumage and if left unmoleste<l up to that time in feeding upon the wild rice, etc., should be in prime condition.

Vagrants and tramps will no longer get a term in the county gaols, as the department at Toronto has issued instructions to all police magistrates to commit tramps to the central pris on. The tramp nuisance must be stamped out and as all committed to Toronto have to turn out daily and do road construction work in North- ern Ontario or on the new prison farm; it is expected there will be a less number of tramps.

.'V school that stands at the very head of business education' is the Gowling Business College of Ottawa. During the past year 300 young men and young women were trained for husines.s and 400 calls were received for office help. Many more than could be filled. With one exception every candidate from this gre.at school on the May cxainination.s of the Civil Service received an appointment in the Civil Service. A school with a record like this is worthy of your patronage. The Fall term opens Sept. 1. A card to W. E. Gowling, principal, will bring full particulars.

The phrase “Why go to Canada ?” used by American papers to stem the tide of emigration to Canada, receives, says the Ottawa Free Press, a lucid and emphatic answer in a supplement gotten out by the Cal- gary Herald. It is a book of 82 pages, well printed and illustrated, and deals almost wholly with the advantages of Alberta for settlement, the publishers feeling that in the pro vince is to be found the best to be had in the west. Albcrtians arc ar- dent believers in publicity campaign- ing, and have given the paper good si^port in getting out the supple- mint, which entailed an outlay of $7,000. The project is sure to be pro- lific of results.

An important real estate deal was consumated on Tuesday of this week when Mr. F. T. Costello, Mayor, dis- posed of his handsome residence and adjoining property for a goodly amount to Mr. Joseph Sabourin, of Sa- bouriii Bros. Mr. Sabourin, without unnecessary delay, will now proceed with the erection of a modern building some forty by twenty-five feet, which he will later occupy as a meat market. It is his intention to fit out the new premises in such a way as to ensure comfort and pleasure to his numerous, patrons, and that their wants at all times will be met, it is his purpose to launch out even more extensively than heretofore and thus win further approbation. Mr. Cos- tello, we understand, will in the course of a inontli or so move across the street into his newly acquired property, better known as the Har- rison residence.

No town will become a good business centre .so long as its business men rely on a few merchants to make the effort to bring trade to town. Too often the men in a few lines of trade are about the only ones that reach out after custom. Other mercliants wait until these men in- duce the people to come to town and content themselves with the trade that naturally drifts to tlieir place. A I)uhlic spirited man should ask himself if he is doing his part to attract jjcople to come to town in helping the entire hiisine.ss community, and town is a success unless all lines arc working to extend the trade as far as po.ssihlo, and trying to bring a larger territory into the circle of which their town is the business center.

There are rumors that Dr. Beaton, who recently resigned as superinten- dent of the Insane Asylum at Orillia and was succeeded by Mr. J. P. Downey, M.P.P., did not retire of his own free will, but was forced out of the position. Information from Orillia is to the effect that Dr. Bea- ton resigned because such a step was demanded of him and that this demand was not based on charges or complaints of any kind.

The merchants of Alexandria, almost without exception, towards the close of July petitioned the Town Council to name August 3rd, the date originally fixed, for the Farmers Ex- cursion to Ste. Annes and Montreal, as a Civic Holiday, that they and their clerks might thus be able to participate in the event. Their, request was acceeded to but owing to the G.T.R. strike, the cancelling at the eleventh hour of the excursion, the Civic Holiday was not kept, a tacit understanding existing between tho.se primarily interested that when the excursion did come off. the stores, etc., would close for the day. Wc trust this will be done on Wednesday next and that our merchants and ' their clerks who are for the twelve months in the year so closely in, touch with the farming community, will take the day oh and enjoy every hour of it with their friends from the country.

There was an imposing ceremony at St. Mary’s Catliedral, Kingston, on .Sunday last, the occasion being the consecration of a fine new altar, recently installed at a cost of $.10,000. Archbishop Gauthier presided and was assisted by their Lordships Bishops O’Connor, of Peterborough ; Macdonell, of Alexandria ; Lorrain, of Pembroke, and Fallon, of Loudon. The consecration, which took place at an early hour, was performed by Bishop Macdonell of this place. Am- ong other distinguished outside clergy present were Mgr. Chappin, Rector of the Canadian College at Home ; Mgr. Routhier, Administrator of the Archdiocese of Ottawa : Rev. Father MeShane, St. Patrick’s Church, Mon- treal ; Very Rev. Wm. Murphy, O.M. I., Ottawa ; Rev. Fathers Forbes, Ste. Anne de Bellevue ; Aylcsworth, London ; McColl, Peterborough; Fox, Alexandria, and Venerable Arcli-Dca- con Casey, of Lindsay.

The controversy which has ari.sCn over the provisions of the new On- tario. Bread Act has raised the (lues- tion whether bread should not he sold by the pound, just as meat, butter, etc., arc sold. There is apparently no good reason, .save the desire which is said to possess the public of having loaves made to sell at the “even money,” or five or ten cents. No such desire is felt with regard to the otlicr articles above enumerated, and the force of the argument is further lessened by the fact that bread is usually sold by tickets. The Nickle Act will probably have to go, because it has been clumsily drawn, and is not workal)lc and it should be followed by a measure which will compel the baker to mark in some way the weight of every loaf he makes. If with such a safeguard the housewife cannot pro- tect the family purse, she is not de- serving of much sympathy.

On Wednesday next, the 24th inst., an excursion, under the auspices of the Glengarry Agricultural Associa- tion, from Casselmaii to Coteau, thence to Ste. Anne do Bellevue, will be run, a speejal train being secured for the occasion, and which will follow, with but ten minutes interval the regular daily east-bound train, and will stop at the intermediate station along the line picking up at Coteau Junction any patrons of the excursion resident along the front of the 'county who will that morning buy the usual return to Coteau and for the balance of the trip including the boat- secure excursion rates from that iK>int.When one considers that this outing in- cludes a visit to the Experimental Farm and Macdonald College at Ste. Annes, a boat trip on a magnificent steamer that is licensed to carry 1200 passengers at any time, of some two and a half hours duration, thru Uake St. Louis and the Lachine Ra- pids, passing in turn and in close proximity the fashionable inland summer resorts that border the lake and river, and having the privilege of re- maining in Montreal, till the following day, the executive are to be congratulated upon the reasonable rates secured. Wc hope to see this cxcur- •sion most generally patronized, every section of the county represented and the town of Alexandria in particular. >c • * •

The regular meeting of the council was held in the council chambers on Monday evening, August I5th, all members present with the exception of Councillor Campeau. A number of accounts werp.-ordered to be paid. A petition for à permanent granolithic walk on the east side of Dominion street was referred to E. H. Tifi'any, clerk, for report, fi'hc clerk read correspondence between Mr. J, A. II. Cameron, solicitor for the Municipal Construction Co., and the Mayor re- lative to proposals on behalf of the company to establish at .Mexandria a factory for the manufacture of wire wound wood pipes. It was moved and seconded that the convi>any be granted the privilege of the crossing on IJnsley street for the purpose of con- necting the factory now owned by the Dominion Match Company with the G^ T. railway. They will also be granted the free use of the town water for boiler and manufacture purposes for a period of five years. The town will extend the water system and will locale a hydrant opposite the factory. A communication was also read from the Commissioner of Industries, G.T.R. system, to G. W. Shepherd, station agent, asking for information as to such advantages as the town wouhl offer for the es- tablishment of a branch plant of a knitting concern which in'oposed to employ not less than 100 girls at an average wage of $5.00 per week at the station. The clerk was instruct-

ed to write to the commis.sionei: giving particulars. A communication from Messrs. Pringle Smith, solicitors for the estate of the late Hon. D. A. Macdonald, enclosing a notice from the executors of the estate claiming a reduction of the assess- ment of the farm lands belonging to the estate from taxation for certain improvements. The council then ad- journed to meet on Monday, August 22nd.
