TO CITY CHILDREN The' Neighborhood Workers' Asso- ciation, of Toronto, s8 appealing this week by personal visits and through the press to any families of Oshawa and district, who possibly can, to open up their homes ror a short time during the summer ™ enable chil- dren from the city of Toronto to ene joy a much-needed vaaction. There are thousands of people who cannot leave a great city such as Toronto, Because the adults can- not get away themselves, and be- cause they cannot afford to send the little ones away, there are thous- ands of children who never enjoy a holiday in the country or even in a town or village, away from the noise, rush, and thickly populated centres, Many o® these children, doomed to spend the summer in the News of - Nearb P aces ENFIELD Mr. Everett Ormiston and a num- ber of his friends from Oshawa Bank were entertained last Satur- day at Mr. W. J. Ormiston's, Congratulations to Mr, and Mrs, H, Stinson on the arrival of a son. Mrs. J.

Come and bring your basket and enjoy an af- ternoon of sports. MYRTLE W. R, Jones made a business trip to the city on Monday. Several from here went to Clare- mont, June 3rd, to witness the hig program of field sports there, but a heavy rain came on during the af- ternoon, which literally put a damp- er on everything. Lindsay, are spending with her parents here. Mrs. Pherill visited a few days in Oshawa city, would be better in health if they could spend a few weeks in the country. Last year 236 children enjoyed holidays in this manner. °*The Neighborhood Workers' Association is able to pay the®railway expenses of the children, but is not in position to pay board. The children are all examined by a doctor so that they will not earry contagious diseases to their new friends. The Reformer commends work which the Fresh Air Exchange is doing, and on grounds wold urge any families who are in position so to do to be] Good Samaritans to two or more] city children. INSURING THE FIREMEN The Town Council took a forward step this week when it adopted unan- imously a recommendation of the Fire and Water committee to place insurance on the lives of firemen against accidents when engaged in fighting fires. Members of the fire department are volunteers, and while it is true that they know they are in hazardous work when fight- ing fires, this is no reason why they should be expected to bear the loss of income and pay the expense of doctors' bills if they are injured. It is also better for the town to insure the men, rather than to un- dertake to reimburse the men if they are igjured. Under the insurance method the outlay is fixed, whereas it is most uncertain under the other plan. EDITORIAL COMMENT The world deals good-naturedly with the good-natured person. Even an upright piano may devel- op into a downright nuisance. A new excuse is given for girls bobbing their hair. It is that it has to match their dresses. Many a man will have his first ex- perience with indigéstion after cap- turing a June bride. Even the amateur gardener can raise an astonishing variety of blis- ters. The honeymoon is over when he no longer drops the sporting page when she puts on a dance record. People are always regretting to- day the things they did yesterday. Therefore the lazy man has few re- grets. During the royal marriage in Bel- grade this week the streets were guarded as though a war were on. Which was in striking contrast to the conditions existing at the wed- ding of Princess Mary and Viscount Lascelles in London, It is stated from The Hague that an anonymous American has given a large sum of money to the neutral committee to find out who caused the world war. Doubtles, if pressed, he would tell you the United States finished it. . . BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY .

The purchasing committee of the public libarry ask its patrons to suggest the name of any book suitable to be placed in the libarary, and to give the same to any member of the committee.

She be- came very ill, and her suffering of many weeks was nobly borne until her death on Thursday last. Mrs McBrien, before her marriage was Angelina Stevenson, daughter of the late Noble Stevenson, of Kinsale. She is survived by one daugther, Mrs. Jean Wilson, and three sons, Fred, Arthur and Edward, all of Oshawa. The exquisite floral trbutes spoke of the high esteem in which she was held. The funeral on Sat- urday was taken by Rev. Mr. Row- Jand, and interment was made at Groveside.

He execut- ed each demonstration along similar lines as presented on the stage ac- companying each with a "spasm" which usually takes place when an actor is performing. He showed the "Floating Woman," who wae supposed to be under hypnotic in fluence with the use of a dummy ex- plaining how the body was raised in the air by means of wires which were invisible because of lighting ef- fects, The manner in: which mind reading was usually carried on was also exposed. Electric wires run- ning from the person on the stage along underneath the carpet on the floor were connected to a small tele- phone concealed in the person's clothing who was passing ' through the audience making it quite easy for the two to communicate with each other, The wemoastration of spiritual writing was most interesting. When a number of questions had been re- ceived and the answer given in writ- ing on a piece of paper enclosed in a bottle, it was found that the one answer applied to almost every ques- tion. "The most secret is general ity which also applies to fortune telling' said the speaker, "If any- thing unusual Kappens, it is thought to be a message from Mars or some other unreasonable solution is giv- en." Mr. Delroy made casual refer ence to the guija board stating that it would not operate unless some one gave it the necessary intelligence, There was such a thing as hypnot- ism but it was a bad thing to fool with, he declared.

In near- ly every instance, the suggestion as to whether or not the truth. is being told is correct. Our suggestions give us away and others can tell whether or not we are in an angry mood or telling the truth, averred the speaker. Mr. Delroy spoke at some length but the interest of the large audience was maintained throughout, The address was unique because of the subjects dealt with heing of an un- usual character and on topics which are prominent the world over. Mr. H. E. Tylor, president, of the Lions' Club, presided. Preceed- ing the address Mrs, Russell Bale and Mr. George Henley rendered very beautifully a duet, with Miss Mildred Ellis as accompanist, The proceeds of the evening are to the Children's Aid Society. Miss Mae Skilling Addresses 'Centre St. H. & S. Club Miss Mae Skilling made her sec- ond bow within a few weeks to an Oshawa audience Wednesday after- noon under the auspices of Centre Street Home and School Club. Miss Skilling gave a complete and most interesting demonstration of the use of the graphophone in Educational work, particularly the value of it in the schools, During the afternoon she gave a demonstration to the scholars and at four o'clock to the Home and School Club. The Club has purchased a grafonola at a cost of $140 and records valued at $22. The members also voted $10 for sporting supplies, Miss Skilling showed herself to he adept at bringing out the fine qual- ities of the gratonola and the won- derful effect music has on any com- munity, The instrument is specially constructed for u in schools to- gether with special records and is considered to he a great asset in teaching, Members of the Club have worked hard to secure the grafonola and they are much pleased with their purchase. The prizes presented to the rooms best represented at the club meetings were won by Miss Evelyn Currie and Miss Holmes' rooms. Mrs. Ir Saywell was appointed treasurer of versations with unknown people. the Club to succeed Mrs, Crothers Some times a certain distrust arises {who is leaving Oshawa. 7 L CHAPTER III.

If anything he in-| creased his pace. i Suddenly in the late afternoon, | they stepped out of the timber into a | little clearing, in which the blurred! outline of a cabin showed under the wide arms of a leafless tree. The melting snow had soaked through the coat; her feet were wet with the clinging flakes, and the chill of a lowering temperature ad set Hazel shivering. Roaring Bill halted at the door and lifted her down from Silk's back without the formality of asking her leave. He pulled the latch-string and led her inside. Beside the rude stone fireplace wood and kindling were pil- ed ready for use. Bill kicked the door shut, dropped on his knees and started the fire. In five minutes a great blaze leaped and crackled into the wide .phroat qf 'the chimney. Then he piled on more wood and turned to her. '""This the house that Jack built," he said, with a sober face and a twinkle in his gray eyes. ""This is the man that lives in the house that Jack built. And this"--he pointed mis- chievously at her--*"is the woman who's going to love the man that lives in the house that Jack built." "That's a lie," she flased stormily through her chattering teeth. "Well, we'll ;see," he gnswered cheerfully. "Get up here close to the fire and take off those wet things while I put away the horses." And so he went out whistling. CHAPTER IV.
