Mr. Price had been active in the * scheme of smuggling the runaway slaves across the Niagara River to "Queen Victot'ia's Clountry," which , scheme was nicknamed, "The Under- ground Railway." l/pon certain signals given in the dark of night, I young men would slip (juietly out on, the river, and row across to the Am- erican shore, and sympathizers there would place the runaways in boats to be conveyed over to British soil.' The blacks were generally veryj nervous for fear of capture, and the excitement of flight, until they were ' clear over the river, and some of thorn, realizing that they stood on British ground, would leap up in the air, and whout, "I'se free, I so fn'e." Engineer Price was a white man and had a camp on the. \illage plot near the Saugcen. John McAuley of C^flAedtAii, a .scotchmtan, bufilt the next house in town, and made, and repaired boots and shoes.

Each year there are more people you can sell. The finest kind of intro- duction to ther.e new comers is to call them up on tlie telephone â€" by Local or Lonp Distance as the case may require. Many merchants always call up a new customer by Lons Distance before sendinpr a salesman to see him. Think how much difference it makes in the kind of re- ception the shicsman gets! All around you, in outly- ing towns, are custom- ers who will be as glad to have you call them by telephone as you will be to sell them. Don't over- look the one best way of winning and holding their friendship â€" the telephone.
