MEETING OF HOLSTEIN MEN The annual meeting of Hofstein breeders took place in Toronto, The difficulty about duties on eattle gent to the States was fully discussed, The American Holstein association has, it appears, Inid down tha condition that nv Canadian Holsteins ean sceure American registration save such as have all their progen:- tors registered in the American herd-kook, American breeders alco demand that the Canadian association adopt all the rules and tho scale of fces of the American association, To agree to such a proposition would mean the extinet:on of {he Canadian association.The executive of the latter, therefore, turned this down, and the action of the exccutive was ratified by the annual meeting, The Canadian cs- sociation went further.It askedtho Dominion government to impose a duty on American Holstzin hulls entering Canada of $25.and a tax ol $1C on cows of the sama broed, It was thought that this aetion would lead the Americans to come to terms on the matter of registration, A large amount of money, atout $3,000, is granted by this associn- tion to the various fairs and exhibitions held in Canada.There were 7,104 registrations during the year, while the transfers totalled 6,705.Membership numbers 1500 of which 224 wers enrolled in the past year.Among the new ones were the Duke of Sutherland, Sir Henry Pellatt, and the Hon.James Dunsmuir, of

Pet-Posch-DeKol, owned by W.C.Stevens.of Phillipvilla, Ont, showing 38.581b.of butter, The record of.merit now shows a total of 99 bulls, 1.541 cows, The auditor's report showed a cash \u2018balance on hand of $6,140, with the total assets amounting to $15.6C9.The expenditure for tha past year totalled $11,220.Last year thz association voted down a Proposition to pay Prof Dean a salary of

presented with a silver ten set Neil Sangster was elected a director, At the meeting of Dominion gheep~breeders, James Bryson was chosen as representative for Que- tee, Judging by the number of registrations during 1912 Shrops are \u2018the favored breed, there peing 1418 entries against 896 for L:irer- ters, 476 for Oxfords, and 282 for Cotswolds, er The Malone Farmer is for no- license from experience.It says\u2014 There will be excise contests to be determined at town meeting March 4th in Chateaugay, Moira, Waverly, Fort Covington, We cannot urge too strongly the people of all these communities to exert every legitimate effort to keep out the liquor traffic where there 4s a chance, for the nation depends more than ever upon its \u201cdry\u201d territory for producing the young men who are to be a force in-the world, The better environment of the young men of \u2018the country towns in thas impressionable age is what makes them the sane, healthy, moral builders of our country\u2019s institutions, How the nation has profited in the past from the young men of the rural communities who have made themselves the leavening influence of our large villages and cities dn after- life! After their habits are fixed the open saloon of the cities, fortified by an element of population untrained to abstemious living, exerts upon them no tempting snare.The business interests of the citias arc all interested in the welfaro of these rural no-license towns.They want them to continue sending them clean young men to take up the burdans of administration and pro- gress\u2014men whose lives have teen strengthened by first learning to control themselves, We trust that no voter will treat Lghtly his re- sporsibilities wherever an excise fight is om Liston, Feby, -9\u2014Advices from Mozambique, Africa, say that the notorious native chief Napana recently raided the Napana distriet of Mozambique, massacring a large number of European settlers, The governor immediately despatched a punitive expedition of 1000 men, After a march ot mearly 400 miles in \u2018the broiling sun the expedition came upon the chief and his band and completely routed them after tive hours\u2019 lighting, killing 2C0 and wounding 500, Tho Portuguese lost 4 men killed and 22 wounded, The Victory is considered very jmpor- tant, because a new region will he opened for Portuguese developmen: G.van der Schueren, of Rotterdam, who hag travelled overland\u2019 from Cairo to Johannesburg thru the central portion of Africa, has arrived at Johannesburg (states the Central News), and in a brief inter view told of a race of gigantuc\u2019 stature which he had come across in German territory, Though black, these men had cleäreut features of the best European type, The traveller says the aborigines are stunt.edn egroid people living by tillage, Who have been conquered by a nation of black giants resembling the ideal Aryan in \u2018features and the moulding of their limbs, The men are mostly over six feet in height and their Women, described as.beau- titul, are of the average height of à full-grown European male, These glants live by catrre breeding, dis.dalfing anything like , and although they.were great fight ing people, their weapons are the vrititivespeur \u2018Gad tow ent'arrow, \u2014\u2014 BACHELORS OF THE PRAIRIE By Robert Halt:n They live apart apl lonely, th.sa lonely ces, defying with à &lo:my shake of \u2018the head natur:% most insistent appeals.Wanderars from the beaten paths of this ola 1 world: Ishmaelites they are, wh:5e hearts feed on 1.neliness, whose only solace ls a well-seAs:ned \u201cbriap» Out on the ranges, far from the haunts of men, you will find them living in \u201cshacks\u201d that sullenly face \u2018a wilderness of brush and \u201cmys.keg! They represen: all rations under heaven from Russia ty Calj- fornia, from Norway to the Cape of G.od Hope.A mately army, patched, ragged and miserable, aj) kinds and classes are represented here, and, as if they know themselves better or felt themselves worse than the other children oz men, they hold al.of and pursue their solitary way.I knew Macdonald well, and many a good talk we had together.Hz had been in the west country nine years, and lived on a bare hillside, where his \u201cshack\u201d of s.ds was the only object to meet the inquiring \u2018eye, As a regular in the British army, the United States army, and finally as a seaman in the Royal nivy, he had served, and he cut off his st:ry abruptly to show that the closed chapter was his own af fair.When 1 sought bis eyes they were following the solitary Buck Lake Trail, which wouni away t, the northwest, Then cur ways parted.and he went on ta his hous > of sds, There was Jack Wouds, a man of massive mould, a giant cf five and twenty, with the shoulders ¢f Hap cules.His strong, white teath showed as a s:mewhat rare smile lightened for a moment his ovar.shadowing brows; them the clouds closed again and all was gl-om, Jack\u2019s crown was a tattered hat of felt pierced with many holes, thru whieh tufts of hair grew t) mest the sky, and waved triumphantly in the fitful breezes, (Bully for Jack!) We entered the shack together, he drawing the latch with a piece of cord, then driving cut the little pigs and chickens, which entered by some unguarded hosles.Jack briei- ly pointed -ut the total impossibility of keeping these creatures cut and, having delivered himself thu proceeded with the more serio.- business of making hot-cakes, \u201cflan jacks\u2019 or pancakes.In silence Hh.tramped the flor, the rough plank.vielding to his heavy tread, his long hair just eseaping the 1.w rafters.All around were the proofs of hasty meals and deeds half d-ne flies on the table, filth upin the floor anl dust on everything.Forth came a brown basin, the mixing pot fr all concoctions, a foul cauldr:n, to which that of the witches was amarble basin, To its sides clung the remains of mixings in days gone by, clinging hard and tenaciously ty the edge of that crater from which they had bean thrown, and a glimpse within showed a white, movable dep sit,\u2019 which smelt ambroslally, Jack Was apparently cheerful.The clouds had lifted, and an oceasi mal\u2019 gleam \u2018or sunny humor shot from beneath his shaggy brows, Handfuls cf flour had found their way into the cauldron, other material had been added.and the whole mixture stirred hurriedly, First efforts were n.t a sucecs:\u2014 they were thin and umanagaeable, More fl;ur caused a change for the better\u2014they held together \u2014 and Jack's eyes gleamed with triumph.Now, like a funeral pyre cr ancient altar, they adorned the centre cf the table, smoke rising t5 the dusky rafters from the sacrifice which we were about t> consume, Thedecks were cleared for actin; on two doubtful chairs we enc: mpassed tha altar, and with a jug of m:lasses between us devoured the sacrifice even to the huttom of the plate.It was fascinating to sce Jack eat.Over a large mouthful his white teeth closed with the suggesti:n ot \u201cWhat we have we\u2019ll hold.\u201d - The whole was washed down with a draught of c:ld water \u2018from the \u201cdipper.\u201d The meal over, Jack flung himself out and disappeared behind the wo.d-pile, with half = dozen squealing, hungry pigs athis hecls, and as T galloped off down the \u201ctrail\u201d I could n-t help calling to mind a scene in eastern Ontari >, Where a company of ten sat around the well-appointed tabla -f an ideal hostess at an Easter dinner party.What a change from this ty tho fly-strewn table of Jack Weods, where we supped on \u201cflapjacks\u201d and syrup! Jack Johns-n is one of twelve.His home is in Iowa, and for fou- vears he has teen homesteading.A big, shambling fellow with round ehoulders, a s-mewhat low brow and a turned-up nose.If ysu Wish

h-pelessly, as if things in general wero painfully, disappointingly inevitable, Let us forego argument, Jack seems to say.It is all useless, His \u201cshack\u201d boasts tws apartments, but

he was a drawback to the others, and who \u201cdied like am English gentleman\u201d as Captain Scott said in his diary, was nicknamed \u201cNo Surrender Oates\u201d by his comrades in the army.As a lieutenant in command of a patrol during the Boer war the was attacked in a thick serub in the river bed, As each man exhausted his ammunition Lieutenant Oates ordered him to crawl away.After four hours Oates was left alone, The Boers, who were unaware of the strength, or rather weakness, of the patrol, sent an officer with a white flag, demanding their surrender, Lieutenant Odtes sent back this laconic reply: \u201cWa are here to fight, not to surrender.\u201d The Boers eventually retired, but the last shot fired wounded Oates in the thigh and he was invalided home, He rejoined the service at the end of the war, UNITED STATES Chief Wood, of the St Regis Indians, appeared before the Assembly committee at Albany im favor of the Culver bill ko upset the present law and revert to the old custom of selecting ohiefs by totems and the \u2018hereditary line bf descentdows through the female side of the tribal families, He #aid he didnpt | like \u2018the new law which provides | \u201cfor electing chiefs by ballot, because he feared it was a step toward abolishing the tribal relations and to their dividing their lands in geveralty, which would make them citizens and they would lose all their claims as a tribe, Chief Tee- rax appeared against the bill and said that the old custom wodld pre vent all progress and the eelection of the best men for chess, J debit side of

meeting of the coupeil on Monday the audit for the past year was tabled and in it wegs many interesting facts.The village spent altogether $25,002, while the receipts wera (if all was paid) $10,442, This Yeaves tha town behind in revenue to the amount of $3,550.To this, however, must be added the arrears of the year, which amount to $8820, bringing the total deficit to $12,170, A word of explanation is neces sary in this statement, Ths books cloee on Dec, 81st, consequently all 1912 taxes paid during the first part of the new year, amounting to about $2,000, are put down as arrears, Again, the council had Dal- housie street macadamized and other work on the roads to the amount of $2,400, This will ba covered by the government loan for good roads, but, in the m2an- time, the council had to pay the contractor gnd so appears on\u2019 the Athird account is the Walker bridge.The Jos oi bridge \u2026 = fe 120 Provincial government pay half its .Vaillancourt, culverts.116 : ;

impossible to get away from the fact, that there was not enough money forthcoming to pay expenses, This is partly due to the water by-law, which is so defoc- tive that it piles up in arrearsover $3,000 yearly.The councillors cannot help this; it is caused by the loopholes of the water by-law, The water tax is levied on the tenant and if he moves the tax is lost.The by-law should be amended and the tax levied on the landlord and let him include it in his rent.Allowing the use of water practically for nothing for stables, watering lawns, gardens, and the streets, is poor business, To a man paying.$10 a year in water rates, it is impossible to give all the water he thinks livestock, garden, lawns, and the dust down on 'his roadway, in addition to the legitimate quantity for household use, and clear expenses, It is a fact that many use much more water than the $10 they pay covers the The committee appointed to look into the matter cannot hand in their report too soon.The audit reports that the sum of $480 was imposed as licenses and all, or nearly all, was paid up.Fora town the size of Huntingdon $480 does not seem to be enough money to come into the coffers for business permits, The Majestic hall show pays a higher license proportionately than any other business in town.The by-law should be amand- el and the range of tax raised $6 to $20 \u2018 The valuators assessed the town for $456,891, Out of this a considerable amount must be taken off for municipal, church, and educat\u2019on- al property.If the assessors placzd more value on the land and less on the buildings it would give land- awners greater cncouragement ic build.At present thore is much talk oi incorporating the village as a town, and the movement is received with favor by many of the ratepayers.The municipal code does not meet the needs of a place of the size o: Huntingdon, and if the change could be arranged, it would help the council to effect reforms, and take steps\u2019 to cmsure its growing latger, better and more beautiful.MARRIED At Montreal, on Feb, 11, by the Rev, R.W, Dickie, B.A., John Geddes to Emma Bertram, daughter of tha late William Hunter, both of Orms-

locals and the club of that place, resulted in a win for the locals, by a score of 6\u2014$.St Lambert had strengthensd their team, ani during the first half the honors were equally divided, the score being 1\u20141, Huntingdon having the better of\" the play.Owing to one of the St Lambert boys having a foot touched with frost and to Clark's getting ap accidental bump on the head with the puck the second half opened with only twelve men an the ice, St Lam- berts scored in the first five minutes and for a time the puck was ground the Huntingdon nets, but were covered s0 closs Uhat to get a-clean shot was difficuit.The latter part of the game was all Huntingdoa.the locals notting five goals, At one stage of Lhe game the locals had only four men on the ice, and strange to say one of them scored; at arather time 8t Lamberts were in the same fix.The ice tho hard was a little heavy owing to tha falling snow, which at times caused the checking to Ibe heavy, but taking the game as a whole it was a good clean exhibition of hockey.The St Lamberts boys entertained the locals after the game andthe boys left with a good opinion of the team of that place.The lineup was as follows\u2014

CURLING Huntingdon won the District medal from Lachine when they won from the visitors in the second game of the series by .the majority of 21 points, The Huntingdon rinks played steadily throughout, several brilliant plays being made.The scores per end were small, with one biz erd when Oney scored six.The teams were\u2014 Lachine Huntingdon C.Baby A, Chambers E.8.Mallock James Cluff A.W.Boyer

carloads of Holsteins, engaged the services of John J.Tannahill to assist him, and who spent quite a while in\u2019 going about the dairy-farms in Herkimer county and adjoining district, 50 head were secured, 11 of them bulls, All were of the highest grade and off noted families, They go to the agricultural farm in connection with Sanford university, Mr Tannahill speaks highty of the dairies he visited.Ope of them in the vicinity of Syracuse has 400 head.FS VALLEYFIELD A most exciting hockey match took place on Sunday afternoon on the Exhibition rink between Valley- field and Canadian Light.There was a large turnout of spectators and the enthusiasm very great.The visitors played a grand game and had certainly the best of the game during the first half.On changing ends the home team attacked in a strong fashion and gecured a victory \u2014the score being 8-2.We regret to state that the lad who got so severely hurned last week died on Saturday through the effects of his injuries.Further improvements are being made at the town hall buildings.The latest addition is a fine porch at the entrance, which when finished should considerably add to the comfort of the officials.Two young men were before the magistrate on Monday morning charged with disorderly conduct and creating a disturbance at the premises of Co-operative Society store.They pled not \\guilty, but were convicted on evidence and were mulcted in a fine of $2 and costs, Quite an epidemic in runaway horses has taken place during th: last week, and several sleighs have come to grief.The new premises of Messrs Besner & Chasle are fast nearing completion and the firm expect to have the store open very shortly.It is rumored that the Montreal Cottons, Ltd, purpose erecting a new club building, together with a new rink, which will be of the regulation measurements, the present club premises being quite inadequate for the requirements of the members.A hockey game was played on Tuesday night between teams representing Empire va.Finishers, which resulted in a win tor the former by 9 to%.CARD OF THANKS The Board of Managers of the Elgin Church acknowledge with thanks $5.00

What do you mean?\u2019 \u201cNothing,\u201d said Wesley Sinton soothingly.\u201cNothing, honey.That was just one of them fool things a man says when he is trying his best to be wise, You see she loved him mightily, and they'd Leen married only a year, and what sbe was loving was what she thought lie was.She badu't really got acquainted with tbe man yet.If 1t had been even one niore year she could bave borne it and you'd have got justice.Having Leen a teacher, she was better educated and smarter than the rest of us, and so she was more sensitive like.Sbe can't understand she was loving a dream.So I say it might do ber good if somebody that knew could tell her, but I swear to gracious I never could.I've heard ber out at the edge of that quagmire calling in them wild spelis of hers off and on for the last sixteen years and imploring the swamp to give him back to her, and I've got out of bed when I was pretty tired and come down to see she didn\u2019t go in herself or harm you.What she feels Is too deep for me.I've got to respectin\u2019 her grief, and I can't get over it.Go Lome and tell your ma, honey, and ask her nice and kind to belp you.If she won't, then you got to swallow that little lump of pride in your neck and come to Aunt Maggie, like you been a-comling all your life.\u201d \u201cI'll ask mother, but I can't take your money, Uncle Wesley, indeed I can't.I'll walt a year and earn some and enter next year.\u201d \"There's one thing you don\u2019t consider, Elnora,\u201d sald {be man earnestly.\u201cAnd that\u2019s what you are to Maggie.She's a little like your ma.She hasn't given up to it, and she's struggling on brave, but when we buried our second little girl the light went out of Mage gie's eyes, und it's not come back.The only thine I ever see a hint of it is: when she thinks she\u2019s done something that makes you bappy, Elnora.Now, yout go easy about refusing her anything she wants to do for you.\u201d \u201cUncle Wesley, you are a dear,\u201d said Elnora\u2014\"jtst n dear! 1f I can't pos sibly get that money any way else on earth I'll come and borrow it of you, and then I'll pay it back if I dig ferns from the swamp and sell tbem from door to door In the city.I'll even plant them, so that they will be sure to come up In the spring.I bave been sort of panie stricken all day and couldn't think, I can gather nuts and sell them.Freckles sold moths and butterflies, and I've a lot collected.Of course I am golog back tomorrow.I can find a way to get the books Don\u2019t you worry about me.1 am all\u2019 right.\u201d As Elnora neared her own door bet mother said: > \u201cWhat kept you s0?1 expected you an bour ago.\u201d : { Elnora looked Into her mother's face and smiled.It was a queer sort of & little smile and would have reached the depths with any normal mother, \u201cI see you've been bawling,\u201d sail Mrs.Comstock.\u201c1 thought you'd god your fill in a hurry.That's why 1 wouldn't go to any expense.If wy keep out of the poorbouse we have to cut the corners close.It's likely this Brushwood road tax wis eat op a gots bigger every year.If they are going to dredge the swamp ditch again they'll just have to take the and to pay for it.1 can't, that\u2019s all Elnora again smiled thas pitiful smile, .4, = \u201cDo you think I didn't krow that § i Wesley, you should have seen me i « was funny and w be Iaoghed ag™ fh ft La ris \u201cYou know you don\u2019t owe me a pen.we've saved in years.Whore the land tax js to come from I don't know.1M Ib \u201cFunny!\u201d cried Mra.Comstock hotly.\u201cYes, funny\u2014a regular caricature,\u201d answered Elnora.\u201cBut there's ak ways two sides.The professor suid ln the algebra class that he never had a better solution and explanation than mine of the proposition he gave me, which scored one for me In spite of my clothes.\u201d : \u201cWell, 1 wouldn't brag on myself.\u201d \u201cThat was poor taste,\u2019 admitted B3- nora; \u201cbut.you see, it Is a case of whistling to keep up my courage, 1 booestly could see that I would have \u201cl haven't a cent, and can't get one!\u201d looked just as well as the rest of them If 1 had been dressed as they were.We can\u2019t afford that, so I bave to find sometblng else to brace me.It was pretty bad, mother.\u201d \u201cWell, I'm glad you got enough of at!\u201d \u201cOh, but I haven*t!\u201d hurried on Elnora.\u201cI just got a start.The bard- est is over.Tomorrow they won't be surprised.They will know what to expect.I am sorry to hear about the dredge.Is ît really going through?\u201d \u201cYes.I got my notification today.The tax will be something enormous.1 don\u2019t know as I can spare you, even if you are willing to he a iaughing stock for the town.\u201d \u201cI bave had two startling pieces of news today,\u201d said Elnora.\u201cI did not know I would need any money.I thought the city furnished the books, and there is an out of town tuition also.1 need $10 in the morning.Will You please let me bave it?\u201d \u201cTen dollars!\" cried Mrs.Comstock.\u201cTen dollars! Why don't you say a hundred and be done with it?I could get one as easy as the other.1 knew what you would run into!
