they sayr they* couldn’t get around in time after going to the factory.lA*t’s tall this matter over with the farmers ami see if we can’t get them to try* our method, then at the next patron’s meeting bring it before them and see if we can t start a ball rolling tiiat will work a revolution in this dairy business !” “What’s all this about ?*’ called a cheeryr voice, as their pas tor, whose approach over the lawn had been unnoticed, appropriated a vacant hammock.“This Sunday business is just what has been worrying me,” said he, after they had told him the whole story, “only not being a farmer 1 did not know how to find the remedy.TU preach some sermons on ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy,’ and ‘Six days shall thou labor and do all thy work,' while you will give the practical illustration of how it may be done on a dairy farm.I feel as though a revival had already' begun !” “There's a mountain of work to be done before we shall see this matter readjusted,” said John.“But it is one of removable sort,” hopefully suggested the mother.“According to your faith be it unto y'ou,” spoke the pastor, while father Dudley’s deep bass voice replied, Amen.Better without a Stomach than with one that’s got a constant " hurt" to it.Dr.Von Stan’s Pineapple Tablets stimulate the digestive organs.Let one enjoy the good things of life and leave no bad effects—carry them with you in your vest pocket—6o in box, 35 cents.—48 So:d by J L.Mathieu, Sherbrooke ;

Co«*k Shooting In Tnll Corn.Cock shooting in tall corn is as easy to the expert as it Is puzzling to the novice.You will, of course, w ork with the rows, not across them, and if you are wise you will shoot at every glimpse of a bird and very frequently after an Instant’s sight of him, when you can only guess where he Is.Sharp work, say ye, my masters.Yes, in a measure, but not so wonderful after all.You certainly must be ever ready and swift and smooth in action, but actual sight of the bird at the Instant of pulling trigger is not necessary.Green corn won’t stop even fine shot, and your charge will give a pattern ns big as a bushel basket; hence the shaking of a leaf, the flick of a vanishing w ing, are enough for the master of the art.In nn instant his gun is on the epot where a species of lightning cal dilation tells him the bird should be, and the trigger is pressed without the slightest delay.The difficulty with the novice is to get him to shoot at once Instead of waiting In vain for a clear view.Experts kill bird after bird in tills way.The novice must dismiss all thoughts of empty shells.No good sportsman worries over misses, though ho will learn from failures how to hold next time.There is no royal road to success In the Held.Nothing but experience really counts.So let the novice crack away, although ho may only get one bird in ten.We all know' what ne’ll get if be doesn’t shoot at all.— Outing.Ills Vmiireastve I1 «Impie iritrt for TM» la the best offer ever mad.for the benefit of Canadian* who want to work and make money at home t&esæees&stttstttÿeMnæsfitsm&silœsssst&scœssGæsçfssç&ææ 0411 Protestant; Hospital THE EXAMINER, DECEMBER 14, 1900.^ You are cordially invited to visit T.W.Fuller & Sons gro-eery store any afternoon or evening for the next few days to partake of a sample cup of Walter Bikers Co’s, pure delicious Breakfast Cocoa, (free of charge) which will be served by “La Belle Chocola tiere.” Attractive copies of “Choice Receipts,” by Miss Carloa and Miss Burr, also samples of Chocolate and Cocoa will be distributed Free.Tiios.W.Fuller & Son As \Ve Make a Specialty of supplying the wants of gentlemen who am ke we can oatur ally «dvi e you at to what lo\erooftbe weed would like.Something to carry his Tobacco around in ; here it it ; A Victoria Tobacco Pouch made of Rubber.Comes in 3 tizat A lb.of our K ih, Fern Pop, Jardinieres, etc.Fine Cut Crystal Pepper end S%lte, 8j»ooi» Traye, 8*Ld Bowls Berry Bowl*, Celery Tray*, Sug.re en i Cream-, D cuitere end Tumbler*.We are al*o just receiving a lot of Sterling Silver which always make* acoeptab’e presents.They are appropriate for e* occasions—never lose their value—oever depreciate in the eye* of the ncipiei .Mening Silver purchased hare is an extremely gooi invest(nenr, jus’: at pro vent especially.We are sailing the prese it srock at mil summer prices.Ojr stock is the largest and best selected in the Kestern Township-, andalwtjs good value at the prices marked.What Shall It Be .Men, wom-planning sur GRIFFITH, T6e Popular llruggis: the reputation of only carryingPURE DRUGS and a complete line of PATENT MEDICINES Piijisiciaiis' Prescriptions dispensed solely by the pre» prietor or qualified clerks.Our Motto: Smity, Accuracy and duicknaes.TRY Ü8.GRIFFITH.1521 W idling ton 81 XMAS Groceries We beg to remind our numerous customers that we have just received an unusually large stock of Auction Sale of many useful articles for X-mas presents, such as albums, silverware, fancy wares, small centre tables, rockers, boots and shoes, woolen goods, Ac., Ac.Sale commencing Saturday the 15th at 2 p.m., and 7 p.m., and continuing each day until holidays are over.Remember the place, south end store in Tuck's Block, in the Square.C.J.Odell, Auctioneer “Give to please for years to come.” What gift will better ful fill the conditions than a good Piano bought of G.A.LeBaron ?Courting investigation into our Laoe Curtain and Carpet Cleaning Departments.We are now established in our new quarters on Water Street.Call in and/ see us.LOTHROP’S CITY STEAM LAUNDRY and Carpet Cleaning Co.Phones : Bell 10.People* 2fW.For the Christmas Trade NEW FRUITS.Candied Peel—Citron, Orange, Lemon.PRESERVED FIGS, in Fancy Boxes.Dates, Walnuts, Filberts, Soft Shelled Almonds, Shelled Walnuts.Fine line of New Confectionery just arrived at BRAY BROS., 109 WELLINGTON STREET, FSE8H GROCERIES —FOR THE— HOLIDAY TRADE ® new I that they reached a jobber too late to jgivn to his travellers.We got them f 0HEAP.?10c.Embroidered Handkerchiefs, 7c I or 4 for 25o.13c.Embroidered Handkerchiefs, 10c or 3 for 25c.| 16c.Embroidered Handkerchiefs, 12£o J or 2 for 25 \ 20\ Embroidered Handkerchiefs, 15c.!

If they ’aven t been and left the key in It for me.I might have saved myself a lot of trouble If I’d a know-ed.” Mr.Apps swung open the heavy door of the safe and listened to the music down stairs.Voting Lady Staplchurst was giving, as Mr.Apps very well knew, a dance, a fancy dress dance, on her return from the continent after her term of widowhood.“I’ll Just see lirst of all,” he said, “that the coast Is absolutely clear, and then—tin'll for a bagful.” Henry Apps stepped out into the broad passage.He slouched, with his jimmy sticking out of his capacious side pocket, a few steps toward the stairs.Suddenly a girlish figure turn- ed the corner.“Bless my ’art!” cried Mr.Apps."Why.how do you do?” said the young lady, stepping forward.She g.ive a soft laugh that was very pleas-ini “Tills is really delightful.Do .011 know.I recognized you in spite of 1 he cost time?” She held the hand of Mr Apps for t moment, causing that gentleman to ^nsp for breath, and called one of the

always an active man.eaptain.” “Always n doing something,” agreed .Mr.Apps.“If it isn’t one thing, it’s another.” He shook Ids head reflectively.”1 often wonder I don’t write a book about it all.” “1 don’t believe you will kuow anybody here, Captain Norman,” she said, ns they walked down stairs, “but I couldn't help sending you a card, seeing how friendly we were on the Be sliAWur.Do you remember those even ings on deck In the Red sea?” She was really a very fine young woman.and In her costume she looked extremely well.“Do I not?” said Mr.Apps, with much fervor.“Shall I ever forget ’em?” "And

it capital?” asked Lady Staplehurst of the gondolier delightedly.“How much more interesting it would be if every one would only talk to me In their character!” “Well, blow me.” said Lady Staple-burst.screwing her pretty mouth in her effort to imitate the cockney’s accent—“blow me if this ain't a fair take —I mean like dah!” she laughed.“It’s no use.Captain Norman, I can’t talk as you

help feeling flattered.l ooking up, he saw the gondolier gazing at him.“He don’t look appy, that chap,” said Mr.Apps.“W ill you excuse me for one moment?” “Wot are you going up to?” ho said apprehensively.“1 want to speak to him.” “Oh,” with relief, “1 don’t mind that!” While Lady Staplehurst was making the gondolier resume his ordinary expression Mr.Apps thought and thought.The couple

costume of a police constable accompanied by a man in plain clothes.Mr.Apps, thinking over his exploits, gazing abstractedly at his boots, regretting their want of polish, did not see them until the plain clothes man tapped him on the shoulder.“What, Apps again!” exclaimed the man.“Yus,” said the burglar discontented ly.“Yus, It is Apps agine.Mr.Walker.And vurry glad you are to see him.I’ve no

diverting little scene.General agreement that Lady Staplehurst was a perfect genius at entertaining.“But, loveliest.” said the gondolier confidently to Lady Staplehurst, “isn’t this carrying a Joke

18011 The emperor dispatched an olheer to Marshal Mortier requiring him to seize certain Important towns without delay.When the officer arrived at the mouth of the FJbe.where the river Is miles wide, he was threatened with serious loss of time.The river was Just covered with ice.therefore to row over was out of the question.He could not cross by the nearest bridge without going 20 miles out of his way on ronds belvy with snow, and be grudged the time that would thus be wasted.So he resolved to skate across the thin, freshly formed ice.Had he tried walking lie would have sunk at once, but by skim ming along on his skates at the top of his speed he got over the river both dry and unharmed.By this daring If dan gérons deed he saved six hours, did what Napoleon f xde him do and won groat

without notice, aud his domestics, being used to his ways, never troll bled themselves nt his absence, while at the same time they were exceedingly careful to have everything ready for his reception whenever he might return.Neither to me nor to my father did he ever utter any explanation of his absences from home or make any allusion to them whatsoever."One day Mr.Tompkins came to our office aud asked for my fat lier.He was not in just then, and Mr.Tomp-\ins sat down ami talked with, me lie asked me how I had spent my time nt ; allege and about my associates and my age and many other

which he was deeply and anxiously interested impelled him to do so.His usual custom was to senti his carriage for my father when he desired to consult him What the subject could be which in duced Mr.Tompkins to visit the office that morning neither my father nor I could divine."We talked over the incident long ami carefully, and in the course of the conversation I mentioned to my father some facts which it had not struck me before were of sufficient importance to mention.It was not often that at that time in my history I visited New York.In fact, up to the time of which I sftonk I had

went to the best hotel we could select Seated at a table near to us was a party consisting of an elderly gentleman and Indy and several young people of both sexes, ranging from T> to 18 years.The

Ijenefador.So far as we knew.Mr.Tompkins had made no will, and »ci we knew that lie must be worth *ver $1.500.000.But I will come to the occurrence to which I alluded at the outset.1 was dtiug in the sick man’s room one light reading before the tire.He grew est less, and I arose and saw that he was moving and struggling as though trying to rise.I spoke to lijm, and he iried hard to respond and gripped my hand witli extraordinary vigor for so -ick a person Seeing that he was using every exertion to sit up iu bed, 1 helped him as well as I could, but just as he ii.-ul acquired an apparently upright ih> >hioii #lds frame relaxed, and he fell back i stood by him for some min les.and, ns he seemed to be breathing •asily.I resumed my place at the tire dde, once and again casting a glance it the bed."Suddenly l experienced a strange ensntion.and.on looking up, 1 saw a pcctral ligure standing right opposite .a*.I rose witli an exclamation of sur disc and approached the form, won leriug how the sick man could have ït his lied and passed me without my aving observed him.I did uot lost !iy presence of mind, but took a slop owanl tin» dimly outlined figure.Then saw that one baud was pointing to ard a small, old fashioned desk which rood on the top of a bookcase.As iy eye followed the direction indicated he form disappeared.1 turned, ex •ectiug to see the figure moving to ard the bed.Nothing, however, was ibic.I wen! to the bed and gazed pou a corpse! ‘The man was dead beyond question summoned the housekeeper and otber .itciidniits.and when the body was opei ly disposed aii of us quitted the «join 1 locked the door and gave the ey into the custody of the housekeep r, directing her lo allow no one to en t r the room until my father came next ay with the undertaker."Next morning I accompanied my fa her to the house.1 bad already iu i *rined him what had occurred, and as >ooii as some other matters were ar tanged my father took the desk, and we retired to another room.On open ing tlie desk there was apparently nothing in it but a quire of note paper.We made a close examination; but, as it was simply a desk to be carried iu tin* band or in a trunk, we found noth Hg that would indicate any secret drawer.I took up the note paper ami carelessly turned over tin* sheets.A surprise was in store, for on the Inside sheet there was writing It turned out to be the holographic will of the d< ceased—that is, a will wholly writtci.by himself.It hore date the very dn\ when he last visited our office and wn* struck down by apoplexy.".The will left all in trust to a certain >vutnan for the benefit of the testator’s five children, mentioned by name, with • heir places of abode.The name of tic' trustee ! fan not, of course, mention, nor would it be right to give the ad dress.The w ill was duly admitted to probate.The trustee did not bear the name of the testator, but all the chil dren did.‘‘How' do I account for the spectral form?Well, I think he had felt symp toms of the attack which carried him off and wrote the will and came direct ly to our office, intending to inform my father of the fact of its existence.At the point of separation from the body tlie spirit obeyed the last impulse of «he dying man."—Brooklyn Citizen.Children nnd Rivera."One of the hardest things I have to do," says a Boston school teacher."Is io get Into my children’s heads the notion that the streams rise in the mountain!» nnd flow toward the sea.It Is next to Impossible to make some of them comprehend anything about It.They see no reason why the river should not rise In tlie sea and flow Into the mountains.Most of them have never seen a flowing stream.Many of them have seen the Charles river, and if they have noticed anything about it they have observed that It Is Just as apt to flow from the ocean as'toward it."A babbling brook running down over little slopes and rapids or tumbling from tin* hill to the plain in cat a pacts Is unknown to them.Î have to resort to all sorts or images and Ulus tintions to make them comprehend the idea of springs gushing from the hills, descending.Joining, still seeking a low er level, and at last finding the sea.And then they
