It is just because it is true that ortunes have been made, and others doubtly will be made in the busi- ness, that it needs to be emphasized that the Fox Business is not an open | gold from which everyone can dig un- |. lipited "riches. Money can be lost in the business, in fact money has lost in it. The average farmer with no know- ledge or experience, Who has the idea that foxes can be raised in the barn yard the same as any other domestic animal, is quite certain to meet. with disappointment.

One of the best playlets put on in this part of the country was played by the "Just-a-Mere" Dramatic Club of Myrtle Station in the church base- ment on the evening of March 14th and 16th. The play "Our Wives"is full of fun, no tragedy, just one laugh after an- other until one's troubles are forgot- ten. The different characters have made the play famous by their splen- did acting.

The large gathering of friends and neigh- bours at his late residence showed the high esteem and respect in. which he was held by the country-side in which he so long lived. Mr. Reader was born in Kent ounty, England, January 80th, 1830, and was one of a family of ten, all of whom have predeceased him ex- two, James- Reader of - Ann Arbor, Mish., and Mrs. Bateman, of Grand Forks, N. D. In 1832 the family came to Canada and landed at Quebec. The next year they came to Cobourg and later to Whitby. In 1836 they moved to Prince Albert where they remained four years, and in 1844, when Mr. Reader was fourteen 'years of age he crossed Lake Scugog and settled on the Island to take up his long life work. "As years went by he helped [to clear the land and hew timber to build his home and furniture and in 1855 his bride and life companion, Katie Gamble, joined him, but was called from this life on December 13, 1918. To them were born eight children, three boys:John, of Scugog; William T., of Port Perry; and Ephraim of Peterboro; five girls,Rebecea at home, Mus. Isaac Rodman, of Scugog; Mrs. Burton, of Manitoba; Mrs. J. Cliff, of Michigan; and Maria, deceased. He also leaves to mourn his loss, seventeen grandchildren and twenty- two great-grandchildren.
