drink wine nor any till late in the fall he was loepj out thing whereby ohe brother shall stum herding old bunce the family cow- at bleth or is offended or is mado weak the roadside there waslio pasture on shakespeare in his play othello says the little blake place and the offer of o invisible spirit of wine if thou free pasturage by my father and other no name to be known by let us call neighbors- was sourly declined by blake thee devil thus we see that even who declared he wanted no charity lrrirtaraays when science was unknown of course such conditions would not the evil effects or alcohol had been be tolerated today but they were then noted which was long before the adoption of i alcohol is called the qreat deceiver a compulsory schoolattendance law men tell us they drink it in summer to then too old bunce was so breachy 1 keep cool and in winter to keep warm andmlschevious that she would have such a thing is of course impossible been an unbearable nuisance if left the drmker feels warmer because the perk up countln a hundud before you give way to quarrelsome words observed caleb peaslee is a good way to do but its only good for mild cases mads i was this mornln i cd have counted up to a thousand and only kep gettln wuss i what madded you like that asked deacon hyne a man of direct speech clem wallls mr peaslee replied i lent him a couple of bunches of laths last fall i dont see anything in that to be worked up over said the deacon i was glad tiough to have the laths caleb admitted but it was the way he dllvered em that started my temper he fetched em along on bis way down to the village and stead of drivin into the yard with em lie halted bis hoss out in the road and jest hove em over the garden fence right on top of about fifty fmato plants i dknow when i ve been so madd ed caleb confessed honestly and bfore id thought what i was dotn i out of my with a notion tnmy mind of glvln him one talklnto that hed remember for a spell i i you know what a nice mornln it was jest breeze nough to temper the air and make the bobollnks joyful and as i poked along the road nursln my temper i found i had to lick my self some to keep my mad up to a heat and then i come to old man parlrns place and saw him out in the yard putterin round in the little patch of garden he makes out to have every year spite of the fact that hes so gone with a shock that his right side aint any more use to him than it would be if it was made out of spruce timber t i stopped and he steadied himself with his hoe and dragged his leg long to git nearer the fence and we stood there talkin i kind of praised him up over his garden and he colored urp like a girl about 11 i s pose it may sound some like braggin kellup he says but im a mite sot up myself over what im able to do i have some bad luck of course everybody does in this world i dont care how close they figr- ger and bui spencers kids tramped down most of my lettuce yestday when they fetched my mall up tvcoi the office but i righted it up sod about all of its doin well nough youd scurcely notice itd been tramp ed on and that hailstorm early in i the week beat all of it flat but i keep at it and fight cutworms and birds and one way and nother i j manage to keep it growin and lookln pretty good if i do say itl and he beamed at me till i was so ashamed of myself that i cd feel my face glt- tln hotl i there i was an able man for my age lettln myself git into a passion over the very thing parlln was takln as a reglar part of makln a garden and him with only one side he cd use to do anything with and jest then a wagon pulled up behind me and i heard clem wallls holler at me i i was jest goin over to your place kellup he says i was mortl- ned nough after i hove them laths j over the fence this mornln i looked over afterwsm sames a person will and i found id landed em right on top of some of your growin fmatoes and f flggered if i put right back home i cd get plants to take thebr places and get back bfore you found out what id done but now youre here i mights well own up and take you along back with me and with that he showed em to 1 me fifty or sixty of the nicest and thriftiest fmato plants you ever sot eyes on and jest then mr parlln put in his oar i thats the kind of a nslgrafcar kellup ls he plpejlup he stood here and listened to me cmplainln and never a word of his own mishaps i i m proud to have such a man for a neighbor i he says as glad and earnest if id deserved it whatd you say demanded the deacon i took them plants caleb said flrmfly and passed em over the fence to parlln si 1 notice your aint got any fmatoes parlln and since wallls give these to me im goln to hand em over to you fr my part i says tin goln to straighten mine up sames you did with your lettuce its wuth the doin i says to and out the kind of a neighbor i bel and thats the truth added mr peaslee though i dldnt mean it in the sense they thought i did i but you take this lesson to mind hyne he concluded and dont bother countny a hundud or any other number when youre madded you take a walil to her own devices davy therefore was able to attend school only in winter and though a blood has been forced to the surface of the body the effect of this is that the deep temperature which is bright boy he was without proper of greater importance than the surface guidance or wholesome restraint he was frequently beaten by his grand father but was out of the latters sight most of the time and soon dev eloped a feud with the other boys of the neighborhood i presume he in herited some of the illwul felt toward mr blake one morning in early spring i think it was in the year 1876 davy engaged in a longrange battle with stones with four of the boys who were on their way to school and as knocked senseless by a missle thrown by john ingrsham miss mattle borden our teacher saw the conflict from afar and came hurry ing up to interpose but arrived a few seconds too late her action was prompt she sent temperature has been reduced and the body is really at a lower temperature than it was before travellers in trop ical countries have found the only safe rule to health is to abstain from al coholic liquors sir h m stanley the african explorer said i attribute all the deaths among my men to reck less exposure in the sun and the use of alcoholic drinks another instance of the deceptive power of alcohol is that when a person is tired and the body in need of rest the person may take alcoholic liquor and then bec ause he is no longer conscious of his tiredness concludes that the drink has given him rest hat realy happened is that the cells have been drugged and they can no longer send the mes john ingraham to care for old bunce j sage to the brain that the body is in jfmlwy- fax leaving cauada those who have attended garden parties and such functions for tho past generation in this section will regret to learn that that versatile voc alist and comedian jimmy fax who is now in bis ssvontyaeventh year is leaving canada to spend the evening of his life in connecticut with mem bers of his family it is seventy years since this well-knowb- comedian made his first appearance on the stage in brantford as a boy soprano in the intervening three score and ten years jimmy fax has delighted and en tertained many audiences with his dean bright wit and entertaining songs a host of admirers in all cent- ret will wtah him happiness in his docllnlnt yean who had already invaded a garden had davy carried into the sehoolhouse and after restoring hdm to conscious ness held a sort of informal court with herself as the judge after quest ioning all the participants and wit nesses she lost no time in rendering her decision the boys of the school were to take over the herding of the vagrant cow each being assdgned a regular hour on one or more days of the week the tune was so arranged as to interfere as little as possible with recitations and all were to study some assigned lesson while bulsed as herders davy was to care for the cow before and after school but to be free to attend regularly miss mattle was a remarkable person the best proof of which is that she act ually carried out this program for four teen weeks without interference from nyone and i am sure that hj did good to all concerned everyone regarded her plan as a joke at firsthand freely predicted that old oues blake would soon put a stop to it without delay but he simply ignored the arrangement possibly he regarded it as the well- merited punishment of the children of neighbors whom he heartily disliked or perhaps miss mattle saw him pri vately and in some mysterious way per suaded him to give davy a chance what really happened we never knew but the cow term as it was known in local history was carried to a success ful conclusion it even was arranged to continue it in the fall but during the summer mr blake got his longdelayed pension with a considerable sum in back pay and very soon thereafter he took to his beds and died he seemed shocked by his unexpected good fortune davy attended school regularly until miss mattle went west where later she secured a position for him when last heard from he was prospering as a merchant the only one who probably did not regard the cow term as an uaquallf- ied success was old bunce who was fattened and sold for beef soon after its close census questions these are the questions that will be asked about each person by a dominion government censustaker sometime during the opening week of june 1 your name and where you live 2

f planjt closed g other reason you will also be asked whether you have been out of work for any cause in the last twelve months if you answer yes you will be asked how many weeks have you been out of work and need of rest the person no longer hears the warning and concludes he has been rested a hungry person after drinking alcohol no longer feels hungry the feeling of hunger has vanished because the cells have been drugged the body still needs the food but the call for it is not being felt on account of the influence of the alcohol the deceiving powet of alcohol may be summed up in the following manner it pretends to warm a man and it makes him cold it pretends to streng then him and it makes him weak it pretends to make him rejoice and it causes him to despair it pretends to give him life and it brings him death let us now consider how a man who indulges in alcoholic beverages is less efficient than the man who leaves this poison alone captain kennedy who spent very many months in the frozen regions states that when engag ed in the search for sir john franklin he and his crew all abstainers were able to effect more than any of the crews of the other thirteen vessels that went out lrr the same year but which were not sailed upon total abstinence principles professor kraeplin of munich university has made a great number of tests upon men he found that while the drinker might start off work with a spurt he would invariably lag behind the abstainer before the test was completed he found that very small quantities confused the mind and made the drinker less quick in seeing and hearing and judging and less prompt in acting even the simple operations of adding up sums or read ing aloud were round to be interfered with in tills way atheletes know how harmful it is to take drinks containing alcohol captain carver former ohamplon ride shot of america when asked if intoxicating drinks influenced his shooting replied if i were to drink i couldn t shoot william tllden america s champion tennis player pub- llshed a series of articles on how to play tennis the following para graph is quoted from one that series alcohol is a poison that effects the eye mind and the wind three things essential in tennis champions in other sports all tell us the same thing that they would be less efficient if they took alcoholic drinks from these ex- amples we can very easily see how alcohol effects efficiency alcohol is the enemy of mind be cause it poisons the brain and in this way destroy character rt renders a person less efficient for his work no man

dominion of canada conversion loan do people want another holiday if the senate has one useful func tion more important than any other it is in its power of voting at least temporarily legislation that the house of commons has passed with undue haste the business com munity no doubt would like to see the senate kill the bill to create a new holiday in november to be known as romembrance day the measure would undoubtly be reintro duced into tho house of commons and might again pass after more serious and considerable debate but by that time business associations generally would have had an opportunity to ex press their opinions it is doubtful if one business man out of a thousand in canada had any idea that such legislation was even under considera tion until the bill had been introduced into the houac of commons and pass ed all in one brief hour of debate it is first of all very much a ques tion whether the addition of one more legal or public holiday to the- long list now observed in canada is quite justified in these times when the eighthour day is all but univer sal when saturday or wednesday half- ho a i pr ev field of business when summer vaca tions at full pay areajven most wor kers in plants or offices the need for additional rest days is less than it was at the befjlnnlng of the century the new holiday la open to another objection namely that it will be a floating holiday moving about ihihs week holidays unless some deeply significant religious iroson is present should occur on a monday they are more useful to the general public on a monday and less

involve the rais ing of any new money not a penny will be added to the national debt of canada in consequence of the 1931 conversion loan it is entirely a mat ter of exchanging exslstlng bonds for other bonds of the drmiinion a total of more that one billion ctallars of bonds reaches maturity within the next 314 years this total is made up of about 529000000 war loan sk bonds due october 1 1931

being given the opportunity of con tinuing their investment over a longer term in the direct obligations of the dominion government they win not lose anything in the way of interest payments or income tax exemption by exchanging for bonds of the 1931 con version loan it is explained that the new bonds will carry coupons entitling holders to receive up to the date of maturity of their old bonds the same interest payments and tax free privil eges as they would enjoy if they held their war loan or victory bonds until the actual date of maturity in each case for the remainder of the term of the 1931 conversion loan bonds they will carry interest at the rate of 4 mi per annum which in the opinion of leading investment bankers is a comparatively generous return m view of the interest rates now
