Monday night the boys and girls staged a hockey match under certain zonditions. The girls were dressed as boys and the boys wore skirts and had one hand tied behind their back. With these handicaps the fun began. It might be remarked ifi passing how- ever, that some of the skirts worn by the boys of the intermediate team were extremely up-to-date, being so short as to be hardly noticeable. The busiest man on the ice was Referee Lucas, and at that he missed many penalties that should have heen imposed. : Miss Bull was put in the penalty box. It couldnt have been for loaf- ing, for she was all over like bad weather; it must have been for trip- ping Biddy Malone (Deshane). She seemed to have a pick on that par- ticular player who sailed from one end of the rink to the other with all + "skirts" set. The girl in the green sweater was fast and furious. . Reta became a casualty about the middle of the game and now wears the only scars from the great conflict. Helen Lucas introduced a new and effective style of goal tending--on all fours, When eleven girls and six boys gathered around the goal it was just a little difficult to tell whether there was a "score" or more, Helen and Francis Mellow. and Isabel Lucas were a great defence when they weren't playing forward. Jim Boe and Miss Bull had a head- on collision in mid ice without any visible effect. ve together' It was. a great. play, and experts}. could have picked up many pointers. Jimmy Boe"s position in facing off, Jimmy Harrison's tantalizing play, making believe he was going to score and then changing his mind. All this would have proved interest- ing to the student of hockey. The tally at the end of the game was four all.

Even at the outset. it was evident that it would be a difficult matter to save theshouse. Indeed Mrs. Car: negie and her little daughter are to be congratulated upon being able to escape with their lives. Nothing was saved and not an up- right stick gemains of, the house o'clock in the morning. Unfortunately the water pressure is not good, where Mr. Carnegie's house is situated and there were one or two hitches in the getting things going. The hydrant was Hard to move; and, while no blame attaches to the fire brigade, it took some lit- tle time to get the hose from the town hall to the scene of the fire, as the road was very poor for wheel- ing. The suggestion has been made be- fore that some means should be pro- vided so that the hose reel could be quickly changed from wheels to sleighs. Its becoming increasingly ap- parent that 'the property owner should take every precaution to pre- vent fire." Even with the best fire brigade and fire extinguishing equipment outlying building will often be destroyed if the blaze is not chécked in the first few minutes. Where there is water in the house, a small hose could be very. easly kept for such a purpose. There are also some very good fire extinguishers on the market which are of real ser- vice as a check to the fire, W can ill afford to lose any of our d | Highest prices paid.

OVERWORK We don't believe there is such a thing as overwork. People break down and get sick and then say: «Well, I worked toohard and it wore me out," Nonesense. What they did was something else altogether. They worked but at-ts teiagh mme They worked but at the same time they sat up too late at night, or ate too much, or did something to put their bodies in the repair shop: = A watch works all the time, and never dies of over work, but drop it on the | floor and see what happens.
