in other words, a compensation at stated intervals on which one could absolutely rely.Upon the conclusion of counsel's remarks, the darky\u2019s face brightened.\u201cT think I has a fixed income, sah,\u201d said he.\u201cAnd what is this fixed was the next question.\u201cWell, sah,\u201d answered Dick, with a broad grin in the direction of Colonel Martin, \u201cde Colonel dere allers give me fo\u2019 dollars an\u2019 a sack o\u2019 flour on \u2019lec- income?\u201d NE SET PERFECT OF A BUST 27.Sent Free Madam Thora\u2019s French Corsine System of Bust Development is a simple home treatment and is guaranteed to enlarge the bust six in.7 ches;

AA Right Rev.and Hon.Charles Inglis, D.D., Bishop of Nova Scotia, first Colonial Bishop of the Church of England, and fourth Bishop of the Anglican Communion in America; Hon.Jonathan Odell; and John Beardsley, of Loyalist fame.As the result of their deliberations a College, designed for the education of the members of the Church of England, was founded in Windsor in 1789, and thirteen years later, in 1802, a Royal Charter was granted by George II, in which the college was referred to as \u201cthe mother of an University for the education and instruction of youth and students in Arts and Faculties to continue forever and to be called King\u2019s College.\u201d King\u2019s has a long list of distingushed sons\u2014graduates who have risen to prominence ag churchmen, statesmen, literary men and, and soldiers and sailors.Among them may be mentioned Admiral Sir George Prevo Wallis, for many years the father of the British Navy, who took command of the \u201cShannon\u201d at the close of the bloody duel between that vessel and the \u201cChesapeake\u201d off Boston ; Sir John Eardley Wilmot Inglis, the successful defender of Lucknow in the Indian Mutiny; Sir Frederick Williams, of whose heroic defence of Kars in the Crimean War Lord Palmerston said in the British Parliament, \u201ca greater display of courage or ability, of perseverance under difficulties, or of inexhaustible resources of mind, than was evinced by General Williams, never was exhibited in the course of our military history\u201d; Judge Haliburton, the humorous writer, who is better known by the chief character of his most famous work, \u201cSam Slick\u201d; Thomas Cochran and Edward Jarvis, both Chief Justices of Nova Scotia; Edward A.Crawley, founder of Acadia University; Colonel Delancy, of Waterloo fame; Major Welsford, the hero of Sebastopol, of whom the poet says: \u201cDulce et decorum est, runs the glowing line, Pro patria mori\u2014such a death was thine\u201d; and the Right Hon.Baron Haliburton, of Windsor, a son of \u201cSam Slick.\u201d King\u2019s College possesses a library, which, although not of large size, must nevertheless be considered one of the most valuable collections of bibliographical treasures which the Dominion of Canada holds.It deserves much more fame than has ever fallen to its lot.When viewed from a bibliophile\u2019s standpoint as a repository of fine, rare and sumptuous editions, it has few, if any, rivals in this part of the continent.No less than eighteen volumes are from the very famous Aldine Press, undoubted examples,\u2014in- cluding the finest of its many beautiful productions, the Aristotle of 1495.Of Elzevir editions we find twenty volumes, or sixteen works; and the Stephens Press, of Paris, is represented by sixteen volumes.No Preservatives Are Used in Bass\u2019 Barley Wine.To keep for any length of time, a malt extract must be free from fermentation.Most of the so-called malt extracts are made from the by-products of the brew, and bottled immediately after they\u2019re made.To prevent fermentation in the bottle, salicylic acid and other preservatives are used\u2014preparations that play havoc with the kidneys.To remove all possibility of fermentation, Bass\u2019 Barley Wine is matured for years in casks before it is bottled.Bass\u2019 Barley Wine is made from the finest selected barley and choicest hops, and not from the by-products of the brew.Not only is Bass\u2019 Barley Wine rich in nutritive principles, but it\u2019s a delicious, full-flavored wine of malt that the most delicate person can enjoy.A wineglass before meals will work wonders with those troubled with loss of appetite, dyspepsia, insomnia, etc.As a tonic for nursing mothers and for use in all tubercular troubles or for those recovering from typhoid, it has no equal.The price of Bass\u2019 Barley Wine is 30c a bottle.If your druggist hasn't got it, write us.You can order Bass\u2019 Barley Wine by telephone from Robt.H.Bryson, 501 St.Catherine W.;
