THURSTON, SONGS WITH A SNARL Modern Socialism, as it has been developed on the European continent, and lac'.erly in Great Britain, has been chiefly characteristic by the ill- natured and ill-founded declarations of its sonKS. Men like Ramsay Mac- donnld, vho h^ve lofty aspirations to coiit:-!-.;*.. iu c.i • welfare of the masses, have striven to lead their fellows to love the literature anei soul of the early exponents of "a Commonwcallh founded on justice and love," but huve l)een i/el wiih t'.c adoption by veiy many of their f?l- lows of dowclling rhyme, such as, *'The Red Fiarr." What a decent man's pospel exemplified in l^>e writ- ings of the fathers of democracy! They taught, with a joy and fresh- pess and !;er.i'ty, the splendid note of universal brotherhood, payinp tribute also to the honor and dignity of labor wheresoever faithfully performed. Their do-.trints were elcvatinpr and in- spirinjr, and in marked contrast to the proccnt-dry utterances of pro- fessed Socialist expon«nts. "Hhey totally misrepresent self-respipctingr men and women when they siiisr:- The people's flair is deepest rod. It shrouded oft our martyred dead: And e'er th?ir limbs grew still and cold. Here we h«ve the declaration which is a lie, and an illustration of the reason for the decadence of Social- ism. But another of the songs of the extremists is even more untruth- ful. The opening verse of "The Internatirnalr" makes this appeal to the populace :- â- "Arise, ye starvlings from your slumbers: Arise, ve criminals of want: For reason in revolt now thunders. Now ends at last th' age of cant!" AnJ in "La Carmagole" ths tone, temp r and intent is equally objec- tionaL!e. Here is a specimen verse:- "Oh, what is it the people cry. They ask for all men liberty; The palace we will burn. The prison overturn. fJive peace to lowly homes: Vive le son, vive le son. Give peace to lowly homes; Vive le son du canon!" Even in the Sunday school hymns, compiled specially for their children, these misch'.ef-loving "poets'' are guitly of promulgating most untruth- ful doctrine. They ask the little one to sing:- ''The master clnsa wo scorn and fight. Vile reptiles of sil human right; Their lackeys, gaffers and their spies. And all the 'pilots of the skies'!" Then we have the "hymn of hate.'' not a whit better than that which did dilty among the German warriors when they were at their worst :- â- "Come, workers, sing a rebel song, A song of love and hate Of love unto the lowly. Of hatred to the great; The great who trod our fathers down. Who steal our children's bread. Whose hand of greed is stretched to rob The living and the dead!" We cannot believe that the prom- â- nlgators of views so perverted can succeed either in Great Britain or in any self-governing country where British principles of right, justice, fair play prevail. Class war and revolutionary dictatorship will never be accepted by English-speaking free- men.

T. has en- joyed his years in Flesherton years that are marked by the pursuit of various hobbies intermingled with a pursuit of the round of duties of a country publisher. There was the hobby of bicycling, when the art of self-propulsion was in its infancy, and which ran the gamut of old hard tires, then pneumatic, and finally the modern contraption of tin, bolts and nuts, and reek of burned gasoline. There was the hobby of taxidermy, by which various birds and animals weie "stuffed'' as lasting tro%)hies of thn chase and hunt. There was the search of the del- icctable titbits of field and forest: nushrooms. And there was the art of photog- jraphy: by which the faces of departed OIKS, horrible pestilent-marked facs , of smallpox victims, family groups, 'beautiful scenic views, or intimate i orsonal portraits were permantly recorded. There was (and still is) the excit- ing chase after cfusive postage stamps, v>rith une:;pected "finds", and the romance of interchanging messag- es from foreign strands. There was (and may be again) the f.-scinating surrender to the inher- ited pioneer spirit, which took him off to the northern deer country in the fall, to breathe the forest scent- ship's attention long enough from ed air, and feast on venison, fish and W.

Miss Maxii,» Lyons of Ma^kd8l^. gave a fine instru- mental solo and Mr. Andrews of To- ronto rendered a coupel of songs. Messrs. .Mbert Buchanan and Frank Davis combined nicely in several duets and Howird McGee gave a fine reading. Mr. F. R. Oliver. M.P.P.. and Mr. R. D. Carruthers, president of the U.F.O. in South Grey, gave two addresses that were well received.

The West India Island, Barbados, one of the Windward (West India) islands discovered about the beginning of the seventeenth century by the. Portugese, then in the heyday of their nautical achievements, is observing the 300th aniversary of her being taken poss- ession by the English in 1627. Sir William Courtcen, an officer of the service of the reigning monarch, James 1., founded Jamestown, the capital in 162.5, and the island was formally taken over two years later. The popu.'ation is largr>'y colored. They have suffered much from tropi- cal storms, and in 18.54 over 17,000 of a population of under 200,000 died of cholera. In 1876, Governor John P. Hennessy, through proposing the con- federation of the isl-.nd with neigh- boring islands, innocently stirred up an insurrection of the negroes, who were opposed by the planters. Much property was destroyed and lives v,-ere lost. Since then the white minr ity and the colored majority have I ed amicably and the tradp 'sd popula- tion have increased. In celebration of tha 300th anniversary of British rule, the authorities have issued poataffe stamps bearing the pictures Of Jamea I. and «ecrge V.

The world is full of wonders I'm glad I've lived to see, before the reap- er sunders this happy life and me. I've lived to see men travel as swift as lightning stroke in cars that kick up gravel and leave a trail of smoke. And no one ever bothers to think of olden days that saw our patient fathers behind their plodding bays. The might of scince reaches around me everywhere; I hear great songs and speeches come sifting through the air, the comic and the tragic, the spiel by frenzy warhied â€" I've lived to see the magic of radio performed. My good old uncle Peter, he died long, long ago; the angels watch him teeter where Eden's roses grow; had any person told him such marvels would arise, I wonder who could hold him, for he detested lies. I often won- der greatly what long dead m*n would say, if they, severe and stately, could from the church yard stray, and hear the purring, sighing, of countless motor cars, and see the airmen fly- ing among the clouds and stars. I often wonder vainly what sights my eyes might view, if I should leave, insanely, my grave beneath the yew, when I've been calmly sleeping a hun- dred years or three; th? outcome of my peeping would sure astonish mef â€"Walt Mason. ROD AND GUN HATCHED CHICKS IN A DAY \ (Fergus News-Record) Last week, we told of a party here who hatched 51 chicks out of 52eggs by hen. This week we can go poss- ibly one better. At the end of three weeks, a number of incubator eggs did not hatch out, and tiie owner took these to the public dump. The day was fine, and under the heat of the sun a number of the eggs began to "chip." A passer-by noticed this, picked up 17 of them, took the lot home and placed them under a hen. Next day he had 17 choice chicks with one day's hatching, and best of it is they are still alive and thriving. If you don't believe this wonderful tale, we can direct you to the present own- er of the chicks. ENGAGEMENT Mr. and Mrs. D. T.
