and out of the dark shadow that covers the world the cry is still being wrung from the corely-troubled heart of humanity \u2014How long.O Lord.how long?\u201d But even so, Hope is not yet dead in our hearts.As we face the new year it is in the hope that it may prove to be the happy year of our deliverance, There is ground for: this hope, for it is based on two things that are instinet with life and progress \u2014these are the genius of man and the gracious purpose of God I.We have confidence in the adaptability and resourcefulness of man.The story of the human race in its long climb upward is the \u201cstory of man ever adapting himself to new conditions and grappling \u2018with new emergencies as these would arise.But all along the way from the cave and the jungle to the many-sided artificial life of modern civilization, pain has been he price of progress.These recent \u2018ears with their cataclysmic changes have presented a stern challenge to the courage and resourcefuness of man, and they have taken their heavy toll in suffering and in perplexity.But we believe that History will repeat itself\u2014man will again emerge triumphant as Master in his own: appointed house.II.We have confidence in an Over-Ruling Power that means well by the world of men.Man was made 7 ght, but he was not made to ee alone, Mighty as is the spirit of man, however fruitful his active -/ Wrain and skilful hands, there are \u201c limits to his power and his wisdom.As little children so often do, he has gone far toward wrecking the toy he was given to play with.But 8 is not lost;

a revenge for a game played last season, or some such unexplainable reason.Team managers who have such fellows figuring in their lineups would be doing the sport a good turn if such fellows were immediately dropped from the game.They spoil the game to such an extent that the bright player who would adopt spectacular and brainy methods of playing the game is discouraged and does not play.Clean hockey playing will bring more hockey players into the game, and well played clean hockey that is fast will crowd the arena with people in at- spiels bring the men of the various places closer together, together in such a manner that they are intimate with one another.men are able to talk their personal business problems As a matter of fact the another thereby making the bonspiel to a trade convention where they can discuss business matters.On Christmas day the Huntingdon curlers opened a local bonsplel that gives promise of being one of the very best things the Curling Club has ever staged for the good of Huntingdon.Upwards of one hun- participating in this three day bon- One hundred men have come together in a manner that they have never even thought of be- The men are seeing the sporting life of men only met in store trading.A number of employees of the Leach Textile Mill who were born in England and have not become personally acquainted with many Huntingdonians have participated to the advantage of one and all alike.All men are welcomed at the curling clubs in this district just the same as are the fraternal brethren t sister lodges.The more the men come together in this sporting way, the better they the good traits in one another.The Huntingdon honspiel that opened on Monday afternoon is expected to conclude tonight.A turkey served.It will be a happy and real 100 men come together to feast.Can that such a coming together will have ?It certainly will, the Curling Club will naturally benefit; but best of all, those who will receive the greatest benefit are the men themselves.They personally enjoy the hospitality extended, the fellow men enjoy the hospitality of the new person- the curling club, and the town very materially benefits due to the fact that so many men view such an event as \u2018the more we get together the happier we'll be.\u201d happy is what makes life worth living.After all's said and done.being \u2014\u2014 Hockey is the outstanding Canadian sport and has been successfully played in every small village in Canada.The one thing that kills interest in the game is the slashing of hockey sticks, and general rough playing.Hockey played in this manner is usually slow and not interesting to the spectators.rough playing will creep into a game but that will merely add a little to the excitement.That little tiff of spirited action is not done with intent, but too often it hap- It is but natural some local hockey teams go onto the ice.eye of some player or other to re- Has Anglican Charge THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER Chronicled News Bits Specially written for The Huntingdon Gleaner Cold Water Cure Milking the cows, feeding the steck, separating the milk, and splitting wood for the kitchen fire ail before her husband got up at 8 c'ciock in the morning, finally made Mrs.William Thrower, Sarnia, Ont, tired, On no recent morning finding him sti!! in bed aslecp, after she had done all this work, she threw a pail of water over him.Enraged, he jumped out of bed und tried to choke his wife for which she had him arrested.The judge has given the couple two weeks to patch up their differences.Mrs.Thrower declares she will not go back to her husband until he agrees to do the chores.Shoes Last 17 Years Back 1916, Victor Sobescki.Michigan City, Mich., plumber, bought à pair of shoes for $5.He wore them when he went off to the World War and still had them when 4 he came back, marching in the Armistice Day parade with them on.He has worn the shoes almost continuously since.resoling them 13 times.After the 13th resoling, Sobescki was afraid the shoes might bring him bad luck.The dealer who sold him the shoes offered him $2 and Sobes- cki promptly accepted, They are on exhibition in the dealer's show window now, a good advertisement for his wares.in Some Live Town! One town that's 100 per cent.alive is Buchans Mines, in Newfoundland.There are no dead there, because persons who die are shipped home for burial.The town has few natives \u2014Iit is scarcely seven years old\u2014and it has no cemetery.Buchans Mines is a curious town in other ways.Most of its population of 1.800 work for the Buchans Mining Co.and outsiders meet with a cool receptiors It is a \u201cclosed town\u201d and permission must be secured from the company before new arrivals from the company can take up residence.The place has only two furnaces.\u2018These form a large central heating system, from which steam is piped underground to almost all the town's homes.Although the town is still in infancy, almost all modern conveniences are available to its residents.How Money Grows If, instead of throwing away the money he collected for Christ's betrayal.Judas Iscariot had created a trust fund of $1 to bear 4 per cent interest compounded semi-annually, this fund would now total 1.000 octil- lion dollars or $10.000.000,000.000.- 000.000.000.000.000.At least that is the figure given by John N, Cameron, teacher of mathematics at the -| State Teachers' college, Alva.Okla.and we will take his word for it.Bride Celebrates Twice When Miss Rebecca To, a pretty Chinese maiden, and Shiu Hong Ma were married at St.Martin-in-the- Fields.England.recently she had two wedding receptions and wore two bridal gowns.One reception was for her English friends with English W.s.Hatcher of St.John's Church, Huntingdon Rev.lather that we have come to realize \u2018we are members one of another.\u201d It is this spirit, I think, more than any other, which has been so nobly expressed during these trying times.We have great reasons, not to be pessimists but rather optimists, for the Spirit which is so willing and anxious to help a brother man is | Rev.J.H.Miller of the Huntingdon United Church in the great library of life, and if as individuals we do this then perhaps many of us would like to he able to re-write the record of our lives for the past year, but that is impossible for what is written is written.Now in life we learn to do things by doing them, and while it is impossible to live over again the year nineteen hundred and thir- ty-three, yet the New Year lies before us untarnished, and what will be recorded in it by each of us will be determined by ourseives.May I in expressing to you the good wishes of the season, remind you that the year will be largely what we make it, let us then resolve to make it a year of life that will be worthwhile, and may we each day read a portion of God's Holy Word, and look prayerfully to our Heavenly Father to guide us so that we may not make in the coming year the mistakes that we made in the year that is gone, From the depths of my heart I wish you all a Happy New Year, J.H.MILLER LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE The year nineteen hundred and thirty-three is drawing close to its end and in a few days we will be embarking upon another period in years have been very trying ones to all of us and the year which is just passing has been no exception.Some, more than others, have been called upon to carry heavy burdens for which thep have not been responsi ble, They have been the victim of circumstances over which they have had no control.We, who happen to be in vourable position, not thank ¥ through suffering |.eth unto himeelé and no notion liv- \u201cLa AL Co \u201chas our calendar of time.The last few |\u2019 the seif same Spirit which will bring us, once again, prosperity and happiness, As we take leave of this present year and en\u2018er upon the year nineteen hundred and thirty-four we do so with the past years of experience behind us and he is indeed a very unwise person who not learnt many lessons from the past few years.There are many today.I feel who are wondering what the coming year will have in \u2018£ore for them.They are hoping that things generally will improve, and if I read the signs today correctly they seem to be pointing in that dircetion.but I want to remind a!! who may read this short message of mine, that we are going to get from ninetcen hundred and thirty- four just what we put into it.A glcomy man sees everything gloomy.a despairing person never achieves much but he who starts this year with a spirit of confidence.full of hope and courage will find that it has indeed been a year rich in blessings.W.S.HATCHER.Catholic Priest Rev.Arthur Pigeon of St.Joseph's Parish, H on, which congregation numbers 1912 persons, 1582 communicants and {are on the buffet, and the other was for Chinese, when every guest was served a small cake of minced pork and sugar in accordance with Chinese custom.At the wedding reception she donned the gorgeous robes of a Chinese bride, red and black embroidered with silver, Survives Death Penalty Under the laws of Esthonia.small European nation, a convict sentenced to death may choose one of three methods of execution, hanging.poisoning.or shooting.Recently a convicted murderer chose poison.A doctor.as directed by law.prepared the usual dose strong enough in all previous cases to cause death.The victim being a man of powerful constitution survived the effects of the poison, is now fully recovered.but is still being held, His defense is that he has paid the penalty as exacted by law which does not permit 2 person to be ccecuted more than once.The question is now before the Esthonian supreme court.Money in Ashes When Mrs.Alice Winston, Lynn.Mass, opened her oven door to look at the beans she was baking, there was a strong odor of something burning that was not beans.Taking cut the bean pot.che saw the charred remains of a bag in which was a Toll of greenbacks burned almost beyend recognition.Too late to get into the bank the day before, her husband had brought the money home.$700 in all, and put it into the oven for safe keeping overnight without telling his wife about it.Next morning he went off apd forgot it.Luckily the denomination of every bill was still distinguishable and they were redeemed by the treasury department.Cheese Taster For 48 years William Hall has been an expert cheese taster in Somerset, England.During this time he has sampled approximately 3.000.000 cheeses, \u2018an average of 100 or more daily.With the gouge in hand, he bores into cheese after cheese, sampling morsels of each for quality, texture, flavor and maturity, then plugs the hole again, Hall does not smoke or drink for fear the tobacco or alcohol will dull his highly educated tongue.! Baseball Dangerous A record of 4400 \u201crecreation acecl- dents,\u201d not including motoring, published by the Fidelity and Casualty company, shows baseball to have caused the largest number of these mishaps, 18 per cent of the total, Swimming was responsible for 13 per cent, wrestling and \u2018\u201cscuffling\u201d for 62 per cent, tennis 4.8, fireworks, 44; hunting, 4; golf, 3.7 per cent.No figures are given for football.Even so harmless a game as pi is included among causes of accidents, but was responsible a more fa must God that we are more fortunate than those men but 330

his cyes closed, cannot touch the tip of his nose with his finger.he is too drunk to drive a car, the doctor declares, Strongest protests against the procedure are coming from persons who are palsied or nervous or excitable, all of which have the same effect as a \u201cjag\u201d in this testing process, Needed Prompting A civic club in Arkansas City.Kan, asked each member to answer roll call with a three-minute speech on \u201cWhy I Married My Wife.\u201d The worst feature about this part of the programme was that members had brought their wives and you can imagine how indignant some of them were when their husbands could nof think of a single reason why they married as they did.Squeals on Driver A family quarrel so enraged the wife of a Milwaukee man that she called police and divulged an eight- year-old secret\u2014accusing her husband of fleeing the scene of a fatal automobile accident in 1925.Police records showed Ray Mayhew, 30 years old, was killed in the accident the woman described.The husband was taken into custody, but released because the statute of limitations prevented prosecution.Chicken Hotel The world\u2019s most expensive chicken house is at Miami, Fla.It was built as a hotel at a cost of $1,000,000 during the Florida boom of 1927.The boom collapsed before the building was finished and it never was used as à hotel Now its 500 rooms are used for intensive poultry production.There is room for 60,000 laying hens and 100,000 chicks up to the frying stage.Absorbs Electricity No longer will Martin Bodker, Enumclaw, Wash., dairyman, be obliged to carry a wire-wrapped cane with him to \u201cground\u201d himself for protection against rheumatic-like pains, believed to be caused by radio waves.Now William Gunston, electrical engineer.has discovered the trouble is caused by Bodker's body offering far more than the usual resistance to electric and radio waves, causing the storing up of electricity in his body.This is discharged at intervals with such rapidity it causes great suffering.The cure was simple enough.Gunston rigged up a small condenser which Bodker darries in his coat pecket with connections with his wrists by way of his sleeves.Elephant Tells Time Ten years ago Queen Tut, an elephant imported from India, was put in the Fort Smith.Texas, zoo.which is surrounded by factories.Hearing the factory whistles, Queen Tut formed the habit of trumpeting in imitation.She has kept this up ever since and now does her trumpeting without waiting for the whistles.She rarely misses the actual time by mere than a minute and is so exact zoo employees begin work in the morning and quit at night by the queen's signals, World's Tallest Man A Persian claims to be the tallest man in the world.He stands 11 feet « inches in his socks.His name is fiah Khan Ibn Kashmir Khan, and he hails from Shiraz.He was on his way to Europe with some compatri- ols, At Beirut he had to be lifted on to the steamer by a crane because it was too difficult to get him on the gangway from a small boat in a choppy sea.Patient Canine When Mrs, William Latimer went into a Vancouver, Wash., store to do some Christmas shopping she made her dog lie down at the door and told him to remain there until she came back.Finishing her shopping she forgot all about the dog and left the store by another exit.Eight hours later she went back and found him still waiting patiently at the door.No Car Tags \u2018 When Charles Roe, Oshkosh, Wis., started out on an auto trip to New York he was not aware he had no license plates on his car.He had reached Fishkill, N, Y., 1,500 miles on his way and less than 60 miles from his destination, when the first policeman stopped him and asked him about his Jicense plates.Teeth for Gas Teeth\u2014even if they happen to be \u201cstore\u201d teeth\u2014are commonly used for chewing, But a Minneapolis service station attendant is preserving in a glass of water an upper plate which took the place of 26 cents, A week ago a stranger drove a 1927 model into the station, confessed he had no money, and offered his false teeth, \u201cjust as good as new,\u201d for two gallons of gas \u201cto get home on.\u201d The teeth were accepted as security for 26 cents, the cost of the gasoline, when the stranger promised to return that evening with the money and to reclaim the teeth.He has not yet come back.Lumber From Corn Should the time ever come when our dwindling forests will make the cost: of lumber prohibitive for building purposes, the Corn Belt, will be ready to substitute \u201ccorn stalk Ium- ber,\u201d a new project developed at Iowa state college.In experiments at the college, Dr, O.R.Sweeney has made \u201clumber\u201d from corn stalks by cooking the stalks under pressure in steam until they are reduced to fibres not more than 3-100 inch long, This pulpy mass then is hardened In forms and the resulting product is a highly saatisfactory build ing material, especially for insula- tion against cold.Correspondence To the Editor, The Gleaner, Huntingdon, Sir:\u2014 The Province of Quebec Fish & Game Protection Ass'n recently sent ¢.large delegation to wait upon Hon.Laferté, asking that, at the next session, the Game laws be amended to cempel al! hunters to pay a gun license.For some years I have preached \u201cPermits and Pathmasters\u201d, for tne protection of our fish and game, Laving realized the inadequacy of cur present system, The Permits to be supplied by the Government to the Sec.-Trees.of cach municipality, to be by him issued gratis, to all applicants domiciled within his municipality oniy.To be sold by him to all visitor applicants, the fees to be on a sliding scale, for week-end, for vacation period, for the season, All our visitors will gladly pay a moderate fee, will come in increasing numbers, will spend more and more money with our rural population, All Permits to be revocable for cause.Without a permit.What?A gun license alone will avail o- thing.The Fish and Game hog will be the first ones to fortify themselves with a license.Who will check them up?The same system of Wardens we now have, who seldom check up anybody?One, two or three per County, paid a political retaining fee to pursue their usual uvocations, who seldom visit hunting camps, unable to properly patrol even one \u2018Township, rarely obtaining a conviction.The proper party to protect our fish and game is the man who lives where breeds the game, the farmer.Every Township has from forty to sixty Pathmasters.Amend Art.178 of the Municipal Code so that every Pathmaster becomes a Warden with authority to ask for view of permit, authority to seize on view and re- Port at once to the Sec.-Treas., authority to look into basket for undersize, to inspect the game bag, the boat, the auto, to count the Partridge, check up with fellow Path- masters for the hunter's season lim- ii, to investigate complaints when so ordered by competent authority, for which he will be paid 30c an hour, when he submits his written report, he will also get half the fine.Public revenue cannot be earmarked, in toto, for special purposes.All revenues going into the general fund are voted by the representatives of the people.Of the revenue that will be con- tribvted by our visitors enough may be taken to print Game laws, the venalties, also with brief articles on the value of Game in our coverts, of trout and bass in our lakes and streams, insectiverous birds to agriculture and fruit growing, each Pathmaster receiving a copy.Within three years, under this system, we can dispense with all our salar- icd County Game wardens.The Game law violators will pay in costs and fines for all the work done.The Pathmaster-Game Warden will see to that.The people are in no mood at the present time to submit to more taxation.Three years hence, when prosperity will have returned, if revenue be needed to pay interest on our debts.a small fee may be charged.No Permit, no hunt, no fish, Permits and Pathmasters will conserve and protect our fish and game.Think it over.Then write your M.L.A., or talk to him.This system will spell efficiency and economy.If you have adverse criticism, write me.Yours truly.J.BRUCE PAYNE, Granby.Aubrey by Aniul Hostess Tea\u2014 The Aubrey curlers held a Euchre parlours on Tuesday afternoon at 2 p.m.when cards were played at 11 tables.the

Conservator\u201d Marked by 60 Pages A pleasing publication that has come before the eyes of the \u201cFeurth Estate\u201d in the past week has been that of the Brampton, Ont.Cnnser- vator which has recently amalaga- mated with the Banner and Times of the same town.This anniversary number marks two Diamond Jubilees at one time and the 70th anniversary of Brampton's largest retail store.The Town of Brampton was so incorporated 60 years ago, although funded as a village in 1823.Three £core years ago the Brampton Conservator, today Canada\u2019s greatest weekly newgpaper publishing house, was founded.This firm of progressive publishers is Leaded by Mr, Sam Charters, MP.for the county of Peel, his two sons, Clarence, who is the President of the Ontario-Quebec Weekly Newspapers\u2019 Association, and Reginald, an outstanding executive who is the secretary-treasurer of the Charters Publishing Company.The Charters Publishing Company publish no less than seven distinct weekly newspapers and eleven magazines, in addition to a large job printing trade.To mark this Diamond Jubilee the Publishers united with the Town and marked this event by publishing a 60 page newspaper.The newspaper naturally carries a great deal of text matter, thereby broadcasting historical events about Brampton and Peel County.Remarkable developments have taken place in Brampton, and undoubtedly the greatest has been that of the Dale Nurseries.The Dale nurseries ane the greatest in Canada, for under the 132 greenhouses is 40 acres of ground.These greenhouses represent 1,500,000 square feet of glass.The Dale nurseries produce annually 4% million roses, 114 million carnations, a million lily-of-the- valley, 700.000 chrysanthemums, 200,000 lilies, 200.000 ochids, 1% million bulbs and hundreds of thousands of pounds of vegetables.A number of other companies interested in the greenhouse trade have also been founded in Brampton, so it is naturally a beautiful town and one about which much can be written, To mark the 70th anniversary of the founding the F.T.Hill Co.carnies a spread eight pages of advertising.The whole of the 60 page pub- llcation is one of interest.and speaks for the outstanding ability of the Charters family, their loyal associates and the community at large.It is with considerable pleasure that the Gleaner extends its congratulations to the Conservator upon this Diamond Jubilee number.CHRISTMAS EXAMINATIONS HUNTINGDON SCHOOL NO.2 Grade V\u2014Lucllle Goyer, 95.5; Emile Boucher, 93.5; Ida Leboeuf, 83.Grade IV\u2014Marie Jeanne Taillefer, 96.5; Remi Billette,

FIRE DAMAGES and Damaged Building and Contents Fire broke out in the barn at the rear of the Anglican Rectory about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning and did considerable damage to the buildings and contents.The fire was first noticed by passersby who gave the warning.Fire fighters were soon at hand but it took some time before they had the flames under control.A quantity of hay belonging to Percy Beare which had been stored in the barn was destroyed by the flames and the water.Rev.Mr.Hatcher's car was removed from the barn at the first warning.The roof of the building was badly damaged.The loss is covered by insurance, The origin of the fire is unknown.The flames broke out in the hayloft.\u2014\u2014\u2014 KICK CAUS = 4 Chateauguay Farmer Succumbs to Injuries Caused by Horse

stable.It was on Tuesday, December 12 last, that Maheu, while feeding his cattle and horses, was kicked in the chest by a horse.He was given first aid by Dr.E.Marchand, of Chateau- guay Basin.A week ago Saturday, however, Maheu complained about terrible pains and he was rushed to the hospital, where an operation was performed by Dr.F.H.Gatien, Dr, J.D.Dixon and Dr.L, A.Vasseur, but he expired

Catharines Standard » * * Colds in the Head we adopt the Japanese dkerchief?That is a suggestion that arises from the advice of Dr.Percy Edgelow, of Queen Anne Street, London, England, who has interested in the question \u201cWhat is cold?How do you catch it?How cure ds '.There are several answers to query\u2019 or series of queries, His cal one, Di.dgelow declares that a large number of cases are the result of autoinoculation.The germ origin, he gays, is situated in the pockets of those thus affected.\u201cA handkerchief saturated with the infective coryzal (ie., cold in the head) discharges from the nose or mouth is deposited in the pocket, and will transmit thic infection to the walls of the pocket Micro-organisms so placed will remain active for months, and are capable of affecting a clean handkerchief when brought into contact with them.\u201d Dr, Edgelow holds that the ordinary fixed pockets are notoriously dirty, often filthy, and certainly carry infection.Pockets should be made to be easily removed and replaced after thorough cleansing and sterili- zingf by boiling in the same way at dbrdinary handkerchief.Rer wearing such pockets for a yarÿ Dr.Edgelow states, he has lost \u201can inveterate coryza which had troubled me for a very long time without traceable cause.\u201d He has his coat and trouser pockets regularly removed, thoroughly washed and disinfected now, with \u201ca very gratify- i se of cleanliness.\u201d Aer experience is related by a layman who has suffered most of his life from colds in the head.The experiment has continued now for six months during which time he would ordinarily have had six different colds in the head, whereas he has had none.The remedy has been in giving up as nearly as possible the use of sugar, or only in the most sparing way in his food and entirely abandoning the use of candy or sweetmeats of any kind, The philosophy of this is that sugar contributes to the acidity of the blood and body, which should naturally be alkaline.Without sugar in artificial forms the natural alkal- init of the body remains in balance and checks the growth of any kind of germs, including the coryza or cold in the head, which is merely an effort of the blood to rid itself of these germs in the disagreeable manner familiar to So many people.\u2014Hamilton Herald \" * .4 * \u201c What Are You Investing?Aouxe lady

.(LERGYMEN have been among those who have protested on occasion against publication of crime news in the newspapers.A very prominent clergyman on this continent, Dr.S.Parkes Cadman, does not agree with this viewpoint at all.He says: \u201cIt is not the publicity which should distress us but the deeds that covet concealment.If their wickedness were done in secret, how they would flourish.Rogues could strut among us unashamed, and thieves and assassins commit their acts with less fear of detection.\u201d \u201cEvery newspaper,\u201d adds a contemporary, discussing Dr.Cadman\u2019s statement,

civil organizations, begging for political reform-\u2014all is a part of the newspaper's duty to the public, But when business falls off, advertising contracts are cancelled and publishers are

have faïled do the same thing in order to thank those who did support them.We have not noticed a better example of, this than an advertisement inserted in the St.Thomas Times- dcurnal.At the civic elections in that city five names were up for the office of chief magistrate, Harry Borbridfe, who ran second in the race, sponsored the following announcement: The voice of the people has been heard so lets get behind Mayor-Elect Jchnson and strengthen his hand as he has real work to do.My thanks go to that loyal band who worked to give me a place in the city's affairs; thanks to all who gave me their franchise; thanks to everybody.Only one can win and a good man is your mayor.Respectfully, HARRY BORBRIDGE We will not suggest that Mr.Borbridge appreciated being defeated.And yet when he was

\u201cKILLED 287; injured 5,761.\u201d If this information were emblazoned in streamers across the front pages of every paper in Canada, a pronounced gasp would go up from every reader in the country, What a terrible catastrophe! Such wanton destruction of life! And yet the streamer would be perfectly true, These lives were not lost, and these people were not injured all in one day\u2014but it is the actual toll of automobile accidents in Ontario during the past nine months.It is probably unfortunate that all these accidents (if they had to happen) nad not happened on the same day, so that the streamer referred to could have been published.It might have a greater effect in causing motorists to realize the great chances they are taking through exhibiting carelessness or recklessness on the highways.Nine months is not a long time in which to tecord 287 deaths\u2014prac- tically an average of one death a day.It almost leads motorists to downstairs.It is very easy to enter wonder if they will be the next to be sacrificed.There are some encouraging features of the report of the bulletin of the motor vehicle department.For instance the accidents have decreased 5.1 per cent.in the first nine months of the year as compared with the same period last year, with a decrease of 16.8 per cent.in the number of deaths.But that imaginary streamer \u201cKilled 287; injured 5761,\" is still impressive enough to prove that something more stringent should be adopted by the government to further reduce this appalling casualty 1st.\u2014Chatham Daily News * » LS Plain Speaking R.MANION, who headed Canada's delegation to the League of Nations and the Disarmament Conference in Geneva recently, put things pretty plainly on Monday to members of Ottawa's service clubs, Dr.Manion doubted if the Disarmament Conference would resume activities in January, as arranged.He expressed concern as to the future peace of the world, and frankly told his large audience, which included the Prime Minister, that \u201cthe future of the League of Nations is just about as uncertain as peace.\u201d The Minister o1 Railways was emphatic in warning Canadians, and for that matter, other people on this continent, that the geographical fact that Europe was 3,000 miles away was not likely to count for much to them, should another conflagration break out there, The last war made that perfectly clear, but it is liable to be overlooked in certain quarters, though, perhaps, not £0 much in Canada.Dr.Manjon urged support for the League of Nations.He said Canadians were one hundred per cent.for peace.Failing this, what next?There is talk of \u201chumanizing\u201d war.It can't be done, and the sooner the nations of the world realize this the better for us all.Thirty-four years ago, in 1899, the first world peace conference was held.The United States then wanted war \u201chumanized,\u201d and among its proposals to that conference was one for \u201cexempting private property at sea from capture.\u201d \u201cHell-fire Jack.\u201d as the late Lord Fisher was known, at once declared that the essence of war was violence; moderation in war was imbecility, And this is how he put the case to the late W.T.Stead: \u201cI am not for war.I am for peace.If you rub it in, both at home and abroad.that you are ready for instant war with every unit of your strength in the first line, and intend to be first in, and hit your enemy in the belly, and kick him when he is down, boil your prisoners in oil if you take any, and torture his women and children, then people will keep clear of you.\u201d \u2018 Sounds extreme, perhaps.But how far wrong, in view of war as we now Know it?The truth is that war cannot be humanized.It must always remain a horror.Dr.Manion performed a pub- lice service in reminding us all of \u2018the dangers with which we are confronted should the League of Nations be allowed to collapse and the world proclaim itself beaten by the problem of disarmament.\u2014Ottawa Farm Journal Guard Your Eyesight By Dr.Harold Dearden There is a feeling today among people with poor eyesight that it can be cured by exercises, and I have, many a time, been asked about the value of these.Now the eye is controlled by a number of muscles of a precisely similar character to those which are responsible for the movements of any other part of the body.So that it would seem to be a perfectly reasonable assumption that to exercise these muscles is likely to do good.On the other hand, if the ex- | ercises are not intelligently devised.the eye muscles may be unduly fatigued.Undoybtedly the first thing to avoid is\" anything in the nature of a rapid oscullating movement, such as would resub from following the movements of a pendulum or a rising and falling object in rapid movement.The best results are likely to he produced by slow and steady movements of the eye in every direction to the extreme limit possible.| It is quite alt right thus to exercise those muscles which are legitimately involved in what we may call the everyday work of the eyes; but there I must stress one point.A Risky \u201cCure\u201d I was recently told by an acquaintance that he had cured himself, by means of exercises, of an eye defect for which formerly he had worn glasses.He was really indignant when I did not share his triumph.I was forced to point out to him that most of the conditions for which glasses are prescribed, at any rate in early youth or manhood, are due to a definite structural defect in the eye itself.Our eye is constructed normally so that the image transmitted when the eye is at rest i+ thrown sharply in focus upon our retina, which corresponds to the photographic plate of the camera.If, however, you are sent into the world with an eye which is not normally in focus, you can only see properly by means of one of two sources of help.Either you can, by Housewives Resolve to Be Happy We Have 365 Nice New Days Before Us\u2014What Will We Do With Them?Time Now To Make A Few Resolutions.There goes New Year's Day again.Are we better and wiser for all the good resolutions we made last year?We may have made a score of resolutions and written them neatly in a vellum-covered notebook.We may have promised ourselves to be always punctual at the office; not to put off mending until there is not a rag fit to wear; to tidy the children's toy cupboard; to take more exercise and drink more water.But after a few days, or, anyhow, before the month of January was out, most of us, I fear, slipped gently back into our old bad habits.Well, here comes another opportunity, Now, I don't ask for a sudden and complete reformation.It is a great mistake to demand the im- possible.Most of us aim too high with our New Year resolutions.That's why we forget all about them after January 1st.Human nature is weak, and we can't expect to change our characters all at once.But now we have 365 nice, clean new days before us.It's worth seeing if we can't make a resolution or two that we do have a chance of keeping.Five Lucky Resolutions Of course, the wise man will object that fresh beginnings can be made every minute, and new leaves turned every day.But the New Year adds a certain flavor to this moral spring-cleaning.Leaving the old year behind with all its mistakes we can start on new enterprises and tackle means of the contraction of certain muscles of the eyeball, alter the shape of that organ so as to bring the image sharply into focus on your retina, or you can wear glasses.The obvious disadvantage of the first method is, however, the continuous and very considerable muscular effort which is associated with that; and it is this effort which produces, after a time, the headaches and general sense of fatigue and strain which in most cases send you to the oculist.This fatigue Is due to the fact that your eye muscles have broken down under the strain.Eye Mystery Explained Your oculist gives you a glass which removes the strain from these muscles entirely and they return to their normal size.If, therefore, you now discontinue your glasses, you will find yourself quite unable, it may be, to read print which formerly you could just manage with an effort.If you continue for a quarter of an hour dally to repeat the effort without your glasses, you will ultimately find yourself, it may be, able to read as well without your glasses as with them.But your success Is due entirely to the fact that you Lave again over-developed those old muscles, so that they are now again able to undertake the monstrously unfair task of compensating for your structural defect; and your triumph for this reason is likely to be short-lived.In any case, you are again exposing your nervous system to a continuous strain due to this unavoidable muscular effort.Rome\u2019s Department Store Ostia was the vast emporium of Rome, where powerful corporations had the task of providing wheat for the plebe and luxuries for the patrician, the emperor and his court.Excavations indicate that there was a great deal of wealth in the city.What is entirely new in the arche- clogical discoveries is a department store where imported goods were dls- played for visitors who flocked to see the beauties of Ostia, There is nothing new under the sun\u2014and even in ancient times a department store proved to be heaven for bargain hunters, and special sales not only of rare jewels, but silk, embroideries and other \u201cimported\u201d goods took place.LEDUC & PRIEUR Ltée Departmental Store.Valleyfield, Que.Specialty: Ready-to-Wear Gar ments for Ladies and Gents.Tailoring, Dressmaking and Millinery.Everywhere Agree That \u201cOur Best\u201d Flour McDONALD & VALLEYFIELD, Is Best for Baking ROBB, Limited QUE cur difficulties and weaknesses in a \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 new.spirit.80 let each man and woman wake up on January 1st resolved to encourage a few really good habits throughout the year.Don't choose too difficult things! And remember quality is far more satisfying than quantity, We all have our own individual failings, so it'® no good making any definite suggestions.But if we each looked into our habits and discovered which of them are most irritating to other people, and what could be rectified with most benefit to ourselves, we might get a line on what to tackle.Five is a lucky number, so we might indulge in five simple resolu- tons, Little things like remembering to put our shoes in trees each night, fillng papers at once instead of in a hurry at the end of the week, mending a hole in a stocking before it develops into a \u201cpotato,\u201d writing up accounts daily instead of torturing our memory when all the money is spent\u2014all these are excellent resolutions and can quite easily be adhered to.Weary of Winter Apart from matters of detail like these, let us make one resolution that is really good.Let us make up our minds at the dawn of the New Year to be happy.Plan out all sorts of nice things to make life sweeter and happier in the coming days.January, February, and blustering March are the most trying months of the year.We are sick to death of winter days and spring seems so far away.The determination to be brighter, happier, and healthier, and to plan more amusements and gala occasions, will lessen the monotony of this usually trying period, Even though we may forget all our resolutions before spring arrives, some good will come of them.The first few days or weeks of the year will be full of the rapture which comes to each of us when we know that we are doing the right, proper, and wholly delightful thing! \u201cHave any luck with your garden?\u201d \u201cSure thing, we got two or three tomatoes, the neighbors\u2019 chickens couldn't quite reach.\u201d .Tom\u2019s Idea \u201cTom, you musn't eat all of the peanuts even if you are pretending to be a monkey.You must give sister some.\u201d \u201cBut, mother, I'm pretending she\u2019s some sort of animal that does not eat peanuts.\u201d Dundee Cen by \u201cPeggy Dundee Consolidated School Examination Resulls.\u2014 Grade XI\u20141, Kenneth Fraser, 15% 2, Margaret MacMillan, 61; 3.Matthew Cruikshank, 60; 4, Laura Cruikshank, 56.Grade X\u20141, Elizabeth Smallman, 84% 2, Isabel!

Days before, Steve Drake had taken the chance that LaFane had known, rather than simply guessed, sbout the Laird.Thrice he had lain in the brush and watched the old man angle for the great trout that lived in the bend above his home, studying the white-haired recluse in action at his favorite pastime.He was a silent man.He would sit in his canoe for an hour and wait and watch with never a word to his Indian, alternating those long periods of inactivity by intervals of casting in an attempt to coax the fish to rise, At these sessions Steve had watched MacDonald take trout of a size that would have delighted the ordinary angler but the man caught these trophies without commend.It was only when the great fish showed, swirling to the surface in pursuit of insect food, that the Laird broke his silence.He would talk to the Indian, then, or to himself, and from his concealment Steve could see the gleam of the old fellow's eye.For several evenings a hatch of large May flies had appeared on the stream and to take advantage of the rises which occurred during this shower of fish food, the Laird had been making nightly excursions to the deep pool.But twice Steve had been in the vieinity before him and had discovered that in the second bend above, only a few rods distant, lived still another great veteran of the stream.The Laird\u2019s trout was a wonder fish, and no mistake, but this other lunk- er was of a size fit to scare a man when he broke the surface in his feeding forays.Furthermore, he appeared to have notions, as some fish, as well as some men, will have.During the hatch of big flies, which came at dusk, he did not choose to feed.But earlier, when a host of lesser insects arose from the water, went through their brief life span and dropped, he gorged himself avidly.The dimplings of no smaller fry marred the surface of his lair.He was no trout to tolerate lesser company.He was a pioneer, an ancestor, the patriarch of them all.Heavy as the one which engaged the Laird surely was, he could only be a secondary attraction for the true angler compared to this larger fish.Steve deduced that because he appeared to have the pool to himself and did not feed on insects frequently MacDonald had believed the stretch of water barren, had fished it but little and, in consequence, was ignorant of the trout's presence.This afternoon, leaving McNally at Headquarters, Drake paddled down the river alone.He had the tackle with him and a goodly assortment it was, too.The rod was English, hand made, of the finest split bamboo.It was nine feet long and weighed five ounces but it lay in the palm like a feather.so perfect was it balance.It was stiff.a wonder of a rod for backbone.Steve had tried the rod on sizeable fish in the last ten days but he well knew that it, nor indeed, few others of its weight, had ever tooled a speckled trout as big as the one that lived alone above the Laird'\u2018s personal quarry.He arrived at the bend a full hour before sundown.Pulling his canoe out he set up the rod.Then, wading out into the shallow water below the pool, he stood and waited.The small flies were showing, as they had on other evenings, and fish to try the temper and skill of any fisherman were feeding in num- bera both above and below.But the thing for which he had come did not show itself.Before him the pool lay still and unruffied.He waited a time and then sat down.lighted his pipe and waited again.Within an half hour it came: a great bu'ge of water at the head of.the velvety pool, a smooth upheaval as big as a dishpan which broke into flecks of foam and swept along down the cur- vent, leaving nothing to mark where the disturbance had been.He rapped out his pipe and began to cast.No fly was attached to his leader.The gut took the water without a riffle.Again he shot it forward and stil again, and as it .struck the third time the great fish tose once more, swirling almost against the strang to seize a floating insect.\u201cThat's all!\u201d he muttered in satisfaction knowing that though his leader was coarse enough to stand any pull which the rod could stand, it did not throw sufficient shadow to alarm the trout.He had examined the flies which hatched at this hour before, but to make certain that this evening's species were the same he knocked one do fa with his hat and inspected it closely.\u2018Light cowdung's a ringer for you,\u201d he said, aloud and, opening his fly box, selected a lure of that pattern.It was tied on a November 8 hook and approximated for size very well the hatching bugs.Carefully he tested the hook, tied it on with meticulous care, soaked it in paraffin oil from a small vial and then, grasping the leader in both hands, strained on it stoutly.Length by length it put it to that last, severe test until he was certain that no strand of gut was flawed, no knot imperfect.Then, slipping the landing net over his shoulder, he stepped out into the current.Steve stripped ine from the reel as he made false casts to set the fly traveling in great arcs above his bead.Then he let it fall on thé water at the head of the pool.It was a good fly; his cast was splen- élà, Erect, life-like, the thing of feathers and silk and wool rode the water down toward him.He let it go across the feeding ground of the great fish, retrieved it, shot it out A dozen times more the fly rode the poo! without reward but, on the next cast, the lunker rose.Steve struck stoutly and gu:ped when no resistance met his wrist.Either the trout had miscalculated or was after something besides the lure.He waited a moment because his legs were trembling with excitement and then again the fly began its regular flight above the pool, its repeated journey across its surface.Drake edged into the stream until the chili water ran about his thighs.The monster fed regularly, now, cvidently lying close to the surface, smashing at his food with increasing abandon.Again his tail curved out and smacked the water sharply and Steve grunted.His back muscles were aching with suspense.His mouth was dry and his heart pounded in heavy cadence.And then the fish struck! Almost angrily, it seemed, he rose; as if he had detected the fraud, as if this man-made thing annoyed him, roused his regal temper, and as though he snapped at it to be rid of a disturbing influence.He rolled his dorsal fin out as he carried the fiy down and Steve, leaning backward, gave him the butt with all the strength in wrist and arm.He struck as savagely as the trout had struck, gambling his al on the strength of his tackle to turn the fish in his plunge for the depths.For an instant thereafter the pool was serene except for the V-shaped riffle where the leader penetrated.The trout did not even sound.He seemed to hang right there, no more than an arm's length beneath the surface, surprised, amazed, perhaps bewildered .And then a long, curling fin of water was laid back as the singing leader slashed in toward the far bank.Across and up the current went the lunker.boring into the depths, charging for the snag or rock which had been his private sanctuary and Steve let him go.Never had he felt such weight on a rod.The notion that he might turn the fish from his determined course had been childish.He gave slack with his left hand as the trout rushed away because that was his only chance, now.Otherwise, either sturdy rod or his arm would give.Then, of a sudden, his rod was straight, his line floating in loops on the surface.He took slack desperate:y and faced about, guessing what had had happened.Well that he was turned downstream because an instant later a great surge of pressure came on the rod, the line snapped taut from its trailing and Steve began to run as best he could, setting froth about his knees.He held the rod high.butt pointing forward, the whole pent in a rigid half-circle.He stripped more line desperately as the fish stormed on ahead of him, fleeing this menace which had invaded his pool.No strength in his body cou.d have stayed that rush with such: tackle.His only chance was to follow that frantic flight, to go with the fish as iong as he could keep his feet.He gave thirty feet of line: forty: he rounded one bend, then another.He was below the Laird\u2019s favorite spot ond the fish had not so much as paused to seek a snag or rock on which to entangle that leader.Far below him, them the trout began tc zigzag across the current and then Steve commenced to retrieve yielded line.For a moment the quarry milled sbout almost sluggishly and as Drake.walking steadily, taking line at every step, approached he drove for a submerged snag against the opposite bank.The maze of bleached branches toward which the fish was headed was visible.Steve made a stand, then.Sheer strength would count, now.He could feel the old fellow worrying the hook, moving to and fro.straining to work in against that snag.He grunted and brought his right hand cose in againt his shoulder, muscles swelling and arm quivering with the strain.The line sang duly at the stress.The movement of the fish became more agitatel.He nosed to and fro, he turned and circled briefly.He rolled over, flinging his tail into the air and bringing it down with a smash as if to break the slender strand which held him.Then, thwarted just at the instant when Steve's arm was welding, he turned and darted up-stream.But that gave Drake the current as an ally.He followed the fish and let out some line, but he did not run.The trout sounded, nosed the bottom.He came to the surface with & splash and crossed the current, rolling over and over.Then he turned down the river again and worked for the opposite bank, sulking.He lay in a deep place as Bteve took line and edged along until he was directly across the current.He began to prod the trout, then, with sharp tugs on the rod, in an attempt to stir him to action before he could regain any measurable part of his lost strength.«Come on!\" he called.\u201cCome on and show what you've got left!\u201d And as if he understood the fish responded with a short downward rush, turned about and bored into the current again, forcing out a few feet of line.Steve could catch glimpses of the trout as he worked back and forth on the bottom and sight of him in all his magnificence caused him to swear admiringly.The great creature was tiring, now, and with his fatigue came fresh desperation, Hither and yon he charged, rolling to his side once as weariness overcame him in the midst of a rush but Bteve gave that no significance.He knew his battle was not again to make a faint flutter as it yet wo! was dragged through the air.Before the fly dropped the fish rose, plunking as he broke the surface, stirring a fleck of silvery froth with his broad tail.He had come up more avidly, that time; his evening meal was satisfactory.Will you, Madam, try n.No split second for thought of other than that struggle had been spared the man since the lunker rose to his fly so he had not observed the cance coming up the iv- er, did not realize that he was with- in easy talking distance of its occupants.In the bow sat MacDonald, his white head bare, rigged rod ready in his hand.He had checked the Indian's paddling with a gesture and sat and watched.He did not speak, did not move except to put the rod down.His dark eyes, lighted strangely, watched every move of the angler and when he saw that the fierce vigor of the trout's resistance was ebbing he motioned to proceed slow, y.So the Laird was close enough to Lear Steve's chuckle when, after a long time, the fish paused suddenly in his struggles and floated a few feet, writhing slowly on his side, cpening and closing his jaws.He righted.He tried to work into the current again; turned reluctantly but helplessly, as the rod drew backward.\u201cCome home, old timer!\" Steve cried as, reaching for his landing net, he walked into deeper water where the kingly old veteran drifted with the flow.It was then that he saw the canoe and its occupants.He gave à sharp nod but did not speak.He shook out his net, stretched his arm.Probably sight of the device so near gave .the fish one more impulse to carry on, Anyhow, as the net all but siipped beneath him, he rolled over, churning the water and sank from sight.Drake straightened quickly.cautious lest he defeat himself in the very moment of victory.He was within a few yards of the canoe, then, and as the fish sounded and came up again the Laird stirred.He snatched up his own long- hadled net and leaned outboard, ready to take the fish as he came past.\u201cDon't do that, please!\u201d Steve's voice was sharp in the admonition and the old man checked himself, somewhat abashed.«If I can\u2019t take him alone, I won't take him,\u201d Drake added.He did not so much as glance at the Scot again.He came to a halt, lifted his rod higher, dragged the fish nearer.Then, with a sharp, decisive thrust of the net, he slipped it beneath his quarry, lifted him out with a swinging movement and relaxed his weary right arm.For an instant the fish lay still, curled in the mesh, gills working, and then he began to strain, stretching his tail upward as his nose took purchase.The great fan slid up beyond the frame of the net and Steve, knowing the danger, knowing that no fishy is an angler's prize until he is killed, waded to the bank, There, in a bed of horse tail rushes, he stood breathing quickly.A swelling sense of achievement filled: him.He was heedless of the ache in his wrist and arm, unaware that his knees shook in excitement, even heedless of the fact that the Laird had landed and was approaching.When the old man came close, however, Steve looked up.He grinned because he had done what he set out to do and because he had done even more; taken this fish under the eyes of the old recluse himself, But when he had looked into that other face his smile died.Never in any other countenance had he seen that particular rage which now flooded MacDonald's.For a long moment the old man said nothing; merely stood and eyed the gasping trout.Then he lifted his gaze to Steve and with an accusing gesture declared: \u201cYe've taken my fish, mon!\" His voice vibrated, a vein on his forehead leaped out into a welt.\u201cyour fish, Mr.MacDonald?1 didn't think it was\u2014\" \u201cDidn't think! Didn't think! Meb- by so! But ut's th\u2019 fish I've worked over summer after summer; th\u2019 f'sh I've dreamed on winter night after winter night! 'Nd who may ye be to come on anither's property nd poach \u2018nd pillage \u2019nd kill what's anither's right to take?\u201d His voice rose and in it was all the jealousy.all the bitterness that can come to one whose dearest ambitions have been thwarted.Steve thought quickly.The fish and its capture were forgotten.Instead of having the Laird's admiration as a reward for his accomplishment.he had won only animosity.Through a misunderstanding.yes, but animosity is a poor beginning for friendship.\u201cTh' first time I set eyes on ye, ye spoiled th\u2019 day!\u201d MacDonald cried.\u201cAroond yon bend ye came, puttin\u2019 him doon so's\u2014\" Steve glanced aloft and against the evening sky saw a myriad of high- flying insects.\u201cyour'e mistaken.sir,\u201d he said.\u201cThis isn't your fish.Come here.Look up-stream.Watch.\u201d He led the other a few paces to a vantage point, the old man suddenly silent but obviously suspicious.They stood still, watching the pool.Smaller trout were feeding regularly and after a moment, im against the far bank.a great fish rose.\u201cSee! Isn't that where your fish les?\u201d Almost reluctantly, the Laird nodded assent.J «This fellow of mine was two bends above.He lived all alone.He's too big to tolerate company.He's even bigger than the one you've been working on, if I'm any judge.\u201d The Scot's fingers commenced to rummage in his beard.He drew a long breath and Steve felt relieved but on the man's word his heart sank again.\u201cAy! Yoonger muscles! Yoonger wits] A bigger troot, likely, than yon fish.\u201d His tone was bitter.\u201cBigger, as ye say, than th\u2019 one who's defied me these years, but \u2018ut unseemly for a yoong man to belittle th\u2019 abilities of his elders!\u201d He turned then towards his waiting caone and Steve stood with hopes falling to ruin about him.The high quality of his angling had been a double-edged sword.CHAPTER x But nothing could be done except to stand there and watch MacDonald slowly seat himself in the canoe.The Laird did not so much as glance backward at Steve.He gestured to the Indian to turn downstream on the homeward way.He looked older somehow; his shoulders were not as firmly squared as they had been: something had aged him this evening.Steve opened his lips, on the point of stammering an apology but when, atter hesitating, he spoke it was no stammer, no attempt to excuse him- self.Dangling the trout by the gills, THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER They Are Wonderful For Backache Says Gaspe Lady of Dodd's Kidney Pills Mrs.Lastevin Cannot Praise Dodd's Too Highly.Cape Cove, P.Q., Dec.25th (Special) \u201cI have used several boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and have also given them to my family and can truly say they are really wonderful for backache and that run-down tired feeling,\u201d writes Mrs.Francis Lastevin, of Cape Cove, Gaspe.\u201cBefore finishing one box I felt like a new person, so I cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly.\u201d Even in good health many a woman finds that looking after a home and family is quite a task.How unfortunate then is the woman whose household duties become a double burden, due to sickness.Such was the condition that confronted Mrs.Lastevin.She had the good sense, however, to be guided by the experience of others and took Dodd's Kidney Pills which soon restored her to perfect health.he called almost casually: \u201cMr.MacDonald, what'll weigh?\" The Laird gave no heed at first.The Indian stroked twice before he even turned his head.Then he demanded scornfully: \u2018\u201cHa\u2019nt ye a scale wi\u2019 ye?\u201d \u201cNo, sir; and it's a long way back to Headquarters.\u201d \u201cWhat kind of angler are ye, not havin\u2019 a scale handy?\u201d He gestured for a halt on that.\u201cI hae me doots that he's so much heavier thun yon.Ay!\u201d He rummaged in his beard again, thoughtfully.\u201cCome wi' us!\u201d he demanded.\u201cUts my right to examine yer troot.\u2018Tis my belief, when I kill mine, he'll na be so much lighter.\"Tis yer obligation to gl\u2019 me 'n hour!\u201d \u201cCertainly!\u201d replied Steve, trying to keep elation from his response.\u201cOt course, I'll go with you.Mr.MacDonald.\u201d The canoe came against the bank and Steve, holding his fish, stepped in, seating himself between the Laird and the Indian.No word was spoken through the quarter of an hour it required to drop down to the great log structure which was the old man's retreat.Wanding there, MacDonald addressed the Indian briefly, giving directions.and then walked heavily up the steps.\u201cStand there,\u201d he said surlily when they had entered the dark room.\u201cI'll make a light.\u201d He did, with hands that shook considerably, and the place sprang to life.The beamed ceiling was low, the windows wide and many.A huge fireplace of boulders almost filled one end.It was flanked by book shelves and above these, mounted on slabs of birch bark, were the cured skins of a dozen noble trout.The largest, however, was not within inches or pounds of the one Steve carried.The Laird adjusted the wick carefully and then turned to his guest.\u201cFetch him,\u201d he commanded.\u201cHere.Lay him so.\u201d He took the fish from Steve and Jaid him on the table, moving the lamp to make room.A noble creas ture, he was, indeed.His dark sides seemed to be lacquered and the red spots against the gray were large and livid.His belly was rich gold.and the fins were colored like blood.For an interval the old man stared silently at the trophy.Then, without taking his eyes from it, opened a drawer in the table and fumbled for a small spring scale reposing there.He adjusted the hook in the gills and swung the trout\u2019s weight to it.Together they leaned close, scanning the needle, \u201cSix pounds!\" Steve whispered.\u201cSix?\u201d in contempt.\u201cSix! Look, mon! Six pounds \u2018nd two ounces! Ay.better 'n two! Near two \u2018nd a Lalf ounces!\u201d He.straightened with a deep breath.\u201cAh, what a fish! what a bonny.bonny fish!\u201d He studied the scale again, giving it sharp jerks as if in the actual hope that he might make it show another fraction of an ounce.Then he laid the fish back on the table, searched for a steel tape, and measured him carefully; measured for length and girth and this finished, bent low.hands on his knees, to gaze contemplatively.«'Nd what,\u201d he asked, turning his head but not straightening, \u201cwas th\u2019 fly, lad?\u201d The brusquesness was gone from his voice, the animosity from his eye.Enthusiasm glittered there instead.His lips were parted and in place of the crusty old fellow he had been, injured, defiant, unrelenting and scornful, he was now as a seeker after news from a superior! \u201cI used a light cowdung.It matched the insects hatching.\u201d \u201cAy.A gude fly.Th\u2019 smaller ephe- meridae.So he was feedin\u2019 on them.not waitin\u2019 for th\u2019 hatch of larger!\u201d He straightened and rubbed his beard vigorously.That enthusiasm in his eyes was higher and in a moment he was smiling! He placed a hand on the younger man\u2019s shoulder, \u201cMon, ye took him! Ye may live to come into great wealth, to have grand honors heaped on ye, but this is an evenin' to be remembered, one to be treasured.Wealth and honors \u2018né greatness in the affairs he of th\u2019 world are some things; an- glin's 's anither .anither!

The old man smoked slowly in the beginning.He continued: that deliberate, cool puffing until Steve had finished with the recital of his preparation.But by the time he was narrating of his first casts, of the irregular rises of the fish, the cloud of smoke about the white head was thick and when the younger man, leaning forward im his chair and gesticulating as he lived the battle over, described the first terrific rush down the river, the briar emitting vapor so dense that the Laird waved a hand vigorously before his face that he might see! Step by step, Steve relived that battle, recouting his own emotions, his hopes and his fears intimately.At the end he sat back and nodded toward the table and said: \u201cAnd there he is, Mr, MacDonald, to prove it!\u201d \u201cAy, a grand fight fer a lad.I could nae done better mysel\u2019, Flynn, if so gude.\u201d He clapped his hands and from a doorway a squaw appeared, \u201cI'll hae a guest, Annie,\u201d he said.\u201cSpread yersel, noo, \u2019nd do yer best!\" Steve protested that he should be back at Headquarters but the Laird would not listen.«Stay, lad, stay! 'Tis an evening to mark well, to celebrate.Ye must stay th\u2019 night.Ut's been long since Ive had by me 'n angler such as ye are! The others, I've taught thum what they know.But ye, Flynn .Well, ye took a better fish thun I ever killed!\u201d And stay the night under the Laird\u2019s roof Steve did.Before the meal they drank liquor poured from an ancient jug and sat for a long afterward with their pipes.When they finally left the table the Laird opened a cabinet in the big living- rcom and tcok from it the choicest cNlection of fly rods Drake had even seen.Joint by joint these must be spected; one by one they must be set up and handed; in detail the stories of fish they had taken must be told and it was after midnight before MacDonald led Steve to the room he was to occupy.While Drake was thus engaged, heart quickening at thought of what this friendship might mean to Polaris, Franz sat on a bench in the store at Good-Bye, silently listening to the gossip of the men gathered there.They gave him little heed, now, once they had; but he had become a ballen favorite and had no longer a place of consequence in their regard.Wartin came in.he asked.«Pishin'a\u201d Tim Todd replied.\u201cI'd ought to see him to-night.D' ye say when hed be back?\u201d \u201cNcpe, But he's been stayin\u2019 mighty late, recent,\u201d the old clerk informed him.Shortly, Franz went out unnoticed.He walked along the lake shore some distance and then stood and listened.He took a trail that led back into the timber, circled La- Fane's house by a wide margin, and approached the cabin which Steve occupied.He stood near by for a lengthy interval; then carefully he advanced, tried the door and went within.It cost him time and pains to find the shotgun, but he did locate it, finally, wrapped in the grain sack and shoved in the leg of the old trousers.He closed the door and walked away noiselessly.A half hour later he came out on the lake shore again.A little breeze had sprung up and wavelets lapped at his feet.He tossed the sack into the water and, gripping the gun by the barrel, whirled it around his head thrice and let it go.The splash was far out, out where the water Was deep enough so that the chance of Reduced Fares Between all points in Canada and to Certain Destinations in the United States NEW

Criticism Cited A misdirected criticism of the Quebec French, Miss Greig said, was of their \u201cbad usage of the language.\u201d The grammar of the low-class French-Canadian is but comparable with that of the English Cockney or the illiterate of any country, the speaker declared, while, as spoken by the educated members of society, the French is perfectly handled, though it contains archaisms because the ancestors left France in the 17th and 18th centuries; some Canadianisms, penned to meet needs of a new country: and some Anglicanisms, owing to personal contact.; The interesting, romantic history of Quebez from the early founding of Quebec in 1608 by Champlain, to its present state of civilized culture, was summarized by Greig, who concluded her address by saying that Canada will owe much to the French- Canadians for their unequalled success in combining two races, two cultures and two languages with but one loyalty which intermingling has a direct effect upon the harmony of the wer on the land, for which tactics he is today extolled for his saneness world internationally.STREET FLOOD 45 YEARS AGO West in 1889, Only to Return in Spring Broke Yesterday, December 26, Mr.and Irs.T.S.Gardiner celebrated their 5th wedding anniversary.In speaking to Mr.Gardiner we learned that on that date the main street of the village was flooded.The flood was caused by excessive rains and mild weather.Upon referring to the Gleaner of Jan.10th, 1889 we find in Dr.Shirriff's weather report that the temperature was 5 degrees above zero on Dec.26th and on the 27th it rose to 48 degrees above.The rainfalls had been heavy, and what snow had fallen had melted, causing the floods.Several small bridges were washed away.Mr.and Mrs.Gardiner, as bride and groom, were taken to the Methodist Church in the old Central Hotel bus to be married.The bus was resorted to on account of the fact that heavy rain was falling at the time of the wedding.! In the same issue of the Gleaner.toriment was made upon the deplorable state of affairs as to how it was that so many of the young people were leaving Huntingdon for the Western United States.Had the young people gone to Manitoba the feeling expressed would not have been so intense.The Gleaner stated that eight young men had left for the US.West by express, including the mail clerk James Stark.J.W.Stark apparently did not find jhe U.S.West h a land of promise for he returned to Huntingdon on the 24th of May of the same year.He landed in Montreal with $1.25 in his pocket.Had it not been for the kindness of a man on the train, the Conductor would have requested him to leave the train for lack of funds to pay his fare.The partnership of Messrs.T.B.Pringle and J.W.Stark was formed in 1892.Time brings about many a change in conditions.First Game This Year In Ormstown Arena The Howick hockey boys paid a friendly visit to the Ormstown arena on Thursday evening last and the game

FORT Large Animal Shot by Willard Webb on Home Farm One of two wolves seen in a field at the rear of the John Webb farm, a mile and a half from Fort Coving- ton on the Bombay road, was shot and killed by Willard Webb, 19, somewhat more than a week ago.When the youth saw the two animals, he fired at one and wounded him.Enraged by the bullet wound, the wolf turned on the hunter.A second shot killed the beast.Meanwhile the other animal had fled.The dead wolf was taken to the Charles Dempsey store at Ft.Cov- ington, where persons who viewed it were definite in the opinion that it was a Canadian timber wolf.The theory expressed in Fort Covington is that the animals probably wandered across the river from Canada.The wolf was shot with a .30-30 calibre rifle.It weighed 70 pounds and was heavily furred.Annual School Concert and Distribution of Prizes The annual school concert and distribution of prizes was held in the Gault Institute on Friday evening.The hall was filled to capacity, and the program presented surpassed previous concerts.Everyone joined in singing \u201cO Canada\u201d for the opening.The Toytown Revue by the primary class brought many laughs, while the operetta \u201cThe Fairy Shoemaker\u201d was of a more serious nature.A French play \u201cUn Prété Rendu\u201d was exceedingly well presented.The distribution of prizes by Messrs, John Lowe, J.A.McDonald and H.A.Wilson took up a large part of the evening.Mr.A.K.Campbell, principal, in a short address gave a resumé of the school activities for the past year.The second part of the program opened with a chorus \u201cO Come All Ye Faithful,\u201d by all pupils.A scarf drill and a play \u201cThe Dressing Gown\u201d brought the concert to a close.Dancing was enjoyed for several hours, with Anderson's Orchestra in

On Friday afternoon the closing of tlie Convent took place when the pupils gave a wonderful programme of music, songs and plays.Rev.Father Pigeon, the parish priest, assisted at this concert, and many parents and iriends of the pupils also were present, the attendance being exceedingly large.At the opening of the concert the Misses Irene Brunette and Rita Pilon played a duet entitled \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d which was followed by \u2018Christmas Prayers,\u201d a song by the English pupils.The French girls then rendered a delightful song called \u201cLa Légende des Roses.\u201d A one act play entitled \"A Precious Pickle\" was the next feature on the programme.The curtain rises and we see Juno (Helen Higgins) the negro maid who is cleaning the room and also making her comments on the three city girls who are spending their vacation at her Mistress\u2019 home, Miss Pease (Agnes Noreault).Apparently Juno disapproves of the ladies\u2019 manners which she considers as a little unrefined.Just at this moment Sadie Bean (Mary Denery), Bessie Snow (Marg.Bannon) and Jenny Frost (Cécile Cappiello), our three city girls walk in and start coaxing Juno to give them something to eat, which she firmly refuses to do.During this discussion a neighbour's daughter called Sissy Gabble (Hugh- etta Caza) comes into the room with a jar of pickles which her mother has made and sent to Miss Pease.The girls would just love to have a pickle but Sissy will not give them any, and she asks for Miss Pease who at this moment comes to her rescue.Miss Pease certainly appreciates Mrs.Gabble's gift but is not very fond of pickles as she considers them not good for the health and she too refuses to give the girls any, and walks out with Juno and little Sissy.Our city friends being left alone start debating upon what they should do to have something to eat, and Sadie, who is a little more stubborn than her friends, decides to take a pickle, which she eats ravenously and also gives a bite to her two comrades.Just then Mrs.Gabble (Mary Dar- ragh) comes in search of her daughter, which is only a pretext to come in and have her daily chat, as she happens to be a very gossipy person.During the enumeration of the day's activities she happens to mention the fact that the grocer has just been arrested for selling poisoned vinegar, which people used for the canning of pickles.Picture the consternation of our three city friends upon hearing this.They get panicky and call for the doctor.Finally, it is found that they have eaten a pickle out of the jar which was sent to Miss Pease who had forbidden them to take any.The play was very interesting from beginning to end and procured the audience much laughter.Miss Cécile Cappiello played a piano solo \u201cSilent Night, Holy Night.\u201d A group of little girls, attractively dressed in white, and each carrying a lamp, marched in drill to the strains of the music of Christmas Carols.\u201cNo Room at the Inn\u201d Another play \u201cThere was no Room in the Inn\u201d was then featured on the programme.This act takes place in the village of Bethlehem.on Christmas Eve.It is the story of a blind man called Missial who has four daughters.On Christmas Eve as the family is reunited and the father (Madeline Murphy) prepares to go to bed, the oldest daughter Rachel (Agnes Din- een) is questioned by her mother Sarah (Mary O'Donnell) upon their day's occupation, and Rachel tells her that their youngest sister Miriam (Eileen Murphy) has been attracted by two strangers.a man and a woman, who went by when they were standing near the road.Miriam's mother cannot understand how these two strangers could have attracted her daughter so strongly.In the midst of the conversation a man and a woman come at the house and heg for shelter for the night, as there is nn more room in the inns.Little Miriam recognizes the two strangers she has met that afternoon and talks with the lady, and her mother seeing «his fears for her daughter's safety and firmly refuses to give shelter te these two persons and turns them out, which is something she has never done previous to this night.The father upon hearing this is surprised at his wife's action, and decides to go and see these two people and, if they are out in the open, prcmises to bring them back and keep them for the day.Presently everyone retires to their rooms.Little Miriam who cannot sleep comes back into the room and there an angel (Alice Rolfe) walks in and offers to take her to the two strangers, so she wraps her shoulders with her father\u2019s cloak and follows the angel, who takes her to a sort of a cave where the two strangers are and an infant lies on a small bed made with straw.Miriam offers her cloak to the beautiful lady who refuses it because it does not belong to her.The lady, who is none other than Mary, (Marg, McCallum) puts this cloak on the Child and returns it to Miriam.The angel is then instructed by Mary to take Miriam back to her home safely, which is done.The next morning Miriam tells her father of her strange visit with the stranger.and he believes it is a dream.but Miriam places his cloak cn his shoulders and miraclé! he can see.It is hardly believable.but nevertheless it is true.He is not blind.They both leave to go and meet Mary and Joseph (F.McCaf- frey).The last scene shows Missial and little Miriam as they enter the cave to adore the Child, our Lord.This play interested the audience from beginning to\u2018 end, the parts being very ably rendered by every pupil who took part in it.Others who took part in this play were Kathryn Flynn, Bernice Caza, Agnes Walsh, Madeline Bannon, Suzanne Gravel.Address by Father Pigeon Father Pigeon addressed the girls and the parents as follows: \u201cMother Superior, ladies and gentlemen, and my dear children; As I know how anxious you are to start your preparations for your departure I will be brief.If I look at Mother Superior it seems that she asks of me not to be too long in addressing you, and not to forget that there is a bazaar after this lovely concert you have THE HUNTINGDON GLEANER given.I would also fear that Mrs.*Gabble would come and offer me a | pickle, which might be polsoned.My | dear pupils, after four months of | hard work you are returning to your respective homes and you are all i ready to enjoy your vacation.I also | have had my days af school and know { by experience what a happy day this is for you.undoubtedly the happiest of the year.As you enter your parents\u2019 home why not take a good re- ; solution and try to
