\u201cTHE GALES.\u201d Wm.Elliott Griffis, L.H.D., late of the Imperial University, Tokio, Japan, in speaking of \u201cThe Gales,\u201d who appear in the Haskell Opera House tomorrow evening, January 30th, eaid, among other things: \u201cWith some mis- givinge as to whether it were worth the time, I went, when in New York, to hear Mr.and Mrs.Gale on \u2018Myth and Music in Old Japan.\u2019 I was ae astonished as I was delighted.Mr.Gale has entered into the world of Japanese music and ie a trhrough master of his subject.He ie accurate, conscientious, masterful, and, withal, pleasing.He gives one a luminous idea of the theory and practice of this part of the world of Japanese art as expressed by wind, string and percussion.He shows the Japanese people expressing their emotions in sound.Mr.Gale, as hie lecture shows, is abundantly able to harmonize the musical compositions of Nippon, as is his wife also to render them vocally.After forty years, knowledge of the Japanese, and four years residence in the country, during which time I beare the Imperial Court Band, the monastery concerts, and popular musical entertainments, I confess that the informing and entertaining lecture and illustrations of Mr.and Mrs.Gale came to me witha force of pleasing novelty and compelling charm.\u201d , The people of the Three Villages very seldom have the opportunity to enjoy an entertainment as pleasing, instructive and unique as this one tomorrow evening.WOMAN'S READING CLUB.The \u2018Mid-Year Tea\u201d given the Olub Tuesday afternoon at \u2018\u201cRed- holme\u201d by Mrs.D.W.Davis was very much enjoyed by the members who faced forth in the wind to attend it.The refreshments were choice and daintily served.Mrs.F.T.Caswell and Mrs.Everett Forsyth poured, Miss Edna Caswell and Miss Waver Pierce assisted them.The program in preparation for February 10th is a very full one on the topic: \u2018\u2018England To-day,\u201d Mrs.A.J.Bissonnet will be hostess for the

the experience of January, 1914, ordinary mortals will be willing to take a chance.But people should not allow themselves to become too highly elated over a mere change in the calendar.Astronomers promise a regular storm period from the 2nd to the 7th, with a reactionary period from the 10th to 12th; then another regular storm period from the 14th to 19th and a reactionary period from the 21st to 23rd.Another regular storm period is central on the 27th, beginning on the 25th and extending two or three days into March.Keep the wood-box filled and the snow shovel handy.It is perfect ly safe to predict that there will be just twenty-eight days of weather in February, 1914.Ex-Councilor Thomas J.Norris, who ie at the head of one of the leading industries of Rock Island, returned yesterday from a business trip to the Maritime Provinces.Mr.Norris says he saw no evidences of drink at the no-license hotels where he stopped.He was particularly pleased with Truro, which, be said, had been \u201c\u2018cleaned up\u201d to a remarkable degree.For a manufacturing community it is certainly an ideal town.Amberst is another industrial centre which impressed Mr.Norris.There was certainly no \u2018\u2018booze\u2019\u2019 at the hotel where he stopped, but he heard of a place where those who \u2018knew the ropes\u201d might \u201cget a drink on the sly.\u201d This talk that more booze is sold in no- license communities is \u2018\u2018for the marines.\u201d \u2018If it be true why don\u2019t they all want 1?\u201d asked Mr.Norris.y ; ROCK ISLAND, (STANSTEAD) P.Q., THURSDAY, JANUARY 29,

time but the whole of Lamoile county is now dry.Although Eimore voted wet no one could be found to take out a license.Two brief license periods were sufficient for Morrisville; after that the town voted dry.Then \u2018\u2018not one drunken 4nan was seen where fifty were seen under license,\u201d said Mr.Tabor.A very good but stubborn old farmer had voted \u2018\u201cwet,\u201d after the town \u2018agency\u2019 went out of existence, because he believed some provision should be made for securing liquor for medicinal purposes.Thus he helped to secure a license, and a few days after it went into effect bis hired man, whom he had never know, to drink before, got drunk and abused his fine team unmercifully.\u201cThat sickened the old man, \u2018declared Mr.Tabor, s\u2018and he would have no more of license.\"\u201d Some people who are dependent upon Brome Lake for their ice supply are fearing a \u2018famine\u2019 in this summer comfort.Owing to the unusual depth of snow on the lake

been cleverly and truly said, \u2018Some men are famous, others notorious.\u201d It seems to an outside and disinterested reader that Mr.House\u2019s sudden leap into print has labeled him with the latter rather doubtful distinction.Perhaps more serious is the fact that the correspondence resulting seems to be getting more notorious weekly.The continued acceptance of those lengthy and acrimonious articles has evidently stimulated the Beebe gentleman\u2019s literary bump into a sort of journalis- \u2018tie intoxication that is nearly as bad ae the other kind he seems 80 anxious to get into Beebe; the kind that is so ably attacked and defended by Mr.House.Is it fair, Mr.Editor, to lead an innocent man, unsophisticated in the slippery paths of journalism, up to the giddy heights of press publicity, knowing full well that the leap into utter oblivion must soon be made.For shame, sir.Following, as we have tried for some weeks, the tortuosities of Mr.House\u2019s mental perambulations, we are reminded of the man, who after getting up a very assorted woodpile, had to build a serpentine chimney to allow the smoke to eecape.It would be a refreshing change to bave the valuable\u2014and considerable\u2014 epace hitherto limited to the horizon of a Beebe hotel,\u201d and a Beebe bond, etc., etc., occupied by menthroughout the county whose thought and interest are county wide, and more; men whose thought is not narrowed to of- tensive and puerile personalities.The question is a big one; big enough for a big minded discussion.The time has gone by when the epithet *\u2018crank\u2019 can fairly be need in connection with temperance work.The movement is not a child of the chorch, even.One ot the criticisms heard\u2014and in some cases the criticism is jusitified\u2014is that clergy, many of them, are apathetic.This particular movement is being pushed by business men; that is, by the business men who dare to say their soul is their own, and who think the right to have principles connected with the highest morality is worth more than 5 cts.lost through whiskey money going to another till.And I am sure that more than the writer would be glad to hear the opinion\u2014 plus experience\u2014of the business men men of the county; men who are trying both to make a living, and to push Stanstead County up to her rightful place as a leading section of the Townships; a leader in business prosperity, in civic righteousness and moral progress.As one who is intensely interested in the well\u2014being of our county I hope this matter will be taken up by taken up by fair minded men of both sides, for a thorough discussion of the question can do nothing but good.and may the right win out.I am, 8ir, .at the close of the last period of extreme cold.- Yours sincerely, NEMO.BURIED ON HIS BIRTHDAY.Dr.Abel G.Bugbee of Derby Line had been in the habit of having bis friends gather with him on his birthday.This year hie health had broken somewhat and four days before he reached the ninetieth mile-stone he passed to the Great Beyond.Dr.Bughse came from a family of physiciane, his fatber, Dr.Ralph Bug- bee, being an eniment physician and surgeon, his four brothers, his nephew and his sister\u2019s husband following the same profession.For sixty-two years he lived in Derby Line and during all this time, he took an active interest in all that made for the best in the life of the community, Asa young man, he rode far and wide, ministering to the sick and caring for those who needed help.During his later years he was much interested in giving an opportunity for a better business education to young men.He gave the Bugbee Commercial College and its endowment to Stanstead Wesleyan College.To show his devotion to the church, he gave the Bugbee Memorial Library to the Centenery Methodist Church.Dr.Bugbee was married twice.His second wife, Nancy Reed Bugbee, survives him.Two little girls died in infancy.It seemed fitting that his relatives and friends should gather on his ninetieth birthday to pay tribute to a man who had lived euch an active, useful and honorable life.His wife, his church, his neighbors, the Odd Fellows were dear to him while on earth; he now unites and watches over these in a Better Land.PORTER-BUCKLAND.A quiet wedding took place at the home of Mr.and Mrs.P.B.Buckland at eleven o\u2019clock, Jan.22nd, when their eldest daughter, Muriel Isabel, was united in marriage to Mr.Bailey C.Porter of Saskatoon.The ceremony was performed by Mr.Williams of Hatley, assisted by Mr, McLauchlan, Barnston.Mildred Buckland, the brides sister, was bridesmaid, while Norman Porter, brother of the groom, acted as best man, Irena Buckland, cousin, played tré wedding marches.The bride looked lovely wearing white silk draped witb shadow lace and a neck lace set with amethyste and pearls, the gift of the groom.The bridesmaid wore white marquisette over white silk.Immediately after the ceremony luncheon was served inthe dining room to about thirty guests, the near relatives of the bride and groom.Misses Morma and Nellie Holmes, Clara Bradshaw and Florence Sargent served.The bride received valuable presents, checks, cash, sea} coat, silver, cut glass, linen, etc.The groom's present to the bridesmaid was a pendant, to the pianist, a broach, to the best man, a scarf pin.Mr.and Mrs.Porter left on the afternoon train for Montreal, Toronto, Peterboro, Winnepeg, and points in the West, and expect to reach their home in Saskatoon, Feb.2nd. ro Business and Professional

SCARE Blunders Which Prove Costly to Producers of Eatables and Serious to Gustomers, Sometimes Re sulting in Death.If the proprietor of a restaurant ever has a nightmare, it is to the effect that some poisonous ingredient has accidentally found its way into a dish and that the papers are full of bloodcurdling accounts of the sufferings and death of his clients.About five years ago nearly a score of people were badly poisoned after dining in the restaurant of a well known West Central hotel in London, and although the source of the poison was never accurately traced\u2014all that was discovered being that it was some form of ptomaine poisoning\u2014yet to this day that restaurant has hardly recovered its former popularity.More recently a blunder was made in a London fried fish shop.Engine oil was, in some extraordinary fash- lon, substituted for the cottonseed \u2018ofl which is commonly used for frying fish.This mistake proved absolutely fatal to the business, and after a time the proprietor was forced to close his doors.Oddly enough, a very similar incident has just come to light in another large town.On the morning of March 7 1ast a baker made the alarming discovery that the vegetable oil which he had used in making his fancy bread and pastry overnight had been delivered to him in a barrel which had been previously used for storing kero- gene.The moment he heard of the blunder he rushed off and engaged the services of six doctors and a dozen earts.The carts were sent round the town to retrieve the bad bake, while the doctors gave thelr services free to any customers who had already partaken of the poisoned food.Most readers will remember the arsenic-in-beer epidemic of 1902.This was the most extensive poisoning on record in England.It was four months before the uathoritles realized what the matter was, gnd by that time there were over a thousand cases in five counties, and 51 deaths had taken place.The source of all the trouble was a minute quantity of arsenic in the beer supplied by a Manchester brewer.It was no fault of the firm, for analysis of the liquor showed that the arsenic originally came from glucose which had been made with impure sulphuric acid.It was the acid which contained the arsenic.in the year following the great arsenic poisoning came the oyster scare.There were outbreaks of typhoid fever at Winchester and at Portsmouth.The fever was traced to oysters, and the result was that for gome time oysters were almost unsalable.One big oyster firm which had been paying $750 a week in wages dropped to $76 a week, and it is reckoned that the oyster merchants throughout the country must have lost \u2018at least $500,000.Given Under Hie Hand.Uncle Luke sometimes had the job of accompanying visitors about one of the South Carolina cotton mills near Columbia.One day the party under his care came to a room where all the employes were men.\u201cI see you don\u2019t employ any women dere,\u201d sald one woman in

somewhat unpatriotic to sell the best German dogs, since they are of great service to the police and the military.An English Joke.Papa (seating himself at the breakfast table)\u2014Where\u2019's your

8ir,\u2014I am very glad to know that Mr.Thomas C.Fletcher, your old friend, and a friend of my father, shonld express himself in the way he has.I believe that you bave every reason to feel encouraged with the outlook for the coming contest.Is ic not time that petty argpments which have no bearing on the case be dropped, and all concerned get right down to hard work on the main issue?As to the way that people are to judge you, I believe that you have nothing to fear if you leave it to the readers as the case now stands.It was, I, think unfortunate that Mr.Smith made the remark about the deep pockets, as I believe that Stan- stead county bas many men that larger amounts than I ever had, or expect to have, would be perfectly safe in, even if it were uncounted.And Iam sore that I could name many men who, Mr.Smith would trust as quick as I would.I have traveled over a quite a range of territory, and have spent time enough in many different parts, to get some idea of tbe kind of people that were there, and I believe Stanstead County will make a good showing compared with any other locality that I know of, as to their honesty.Perbaps this belief is why I feel 80 much confidence in their ability to put the county in to the dry territory.I hope that every man and woman | not forget that they themselves | have some influence, and never fail Lo take advantage of any opportunity to use that influence whenever they have la chance.| I trust that you and all other tem- perauce workers, will not loose a sin- | gle opportunity to advance the cause, | aud that when the votes huve all been ;counted, we will feel like saying bur- !rah for the Editor of the Stanstead lJOURNAL.Thanking you for all the jspace tbat what I have contributed has taken up, I am, Sincerely, O,
