through the pro perty where the old glovo leather tan nery used to bo and past the old smith shingle factory and on across that corner lot and then under main street and into the ebbago lot where john zimmerman built tho first tan nery in actfin rirhcty years ago i j- to rub my eyes and think a few minutes wondering where i wa- there on almost the very site where bill overton built his blacksmith shop sixty years ago stood an old building which looked just llko a little black smith shop and i thought for a moment i was back to tho old school days and tho blacksmith would eten out of the door if i waited a little while but as i looked and wonderod i saw this building was larger than the overton shop and ono of the men there explained that it was tho old stephenson blacksmith shop which anthony stephenson built over forty years ago on tho site of tho old cali fornia hotel which was burned moro than half a century ago this old shop which has not been used much for blackattil slnoe anth an xnost influential friends in the foreign office you will hear of me again that will be a great pleasure 1 murmured as tho lady sailed out for days afterward x trembled at the arrival of every telegram hut the foreign office in its leniency must have decided 4o give me ono moro chance before dismissal without a character when mother was little children love to be told about whpn mother was a little girl during long hours of wakefulness because of nn abscessed gland i diverted my smalt daughters mind from her pain jy weaving tases of my own childhood the first night i trlod i could recall very little to tell her for these child n hood incidents had been given hardly a thought in years but after that i gotjmper and pencil and jotted down the recollections which came crowding back when memory waa turned upon them next tlmo she demanded whin mother was a jittlo girl 1 was ready for her it helped amaxingiy through that illness and subsequent ones of others of tho children the best thing about telling stories to the young is that they enjoy hearing the same ones over and oyer they like particularly to hear about their elders school days particularly if their school conditions were greatly in contrast with thoso of modern education m p d a good distinction it was a plain if unusual distinction made by tho english mayor in tho fol lowing story at a largo political mooting where gladstono was to speak the hall was packed and the ar was stifling for some reason says w c browneh who quotes tho incident in a recent book as coming from james russell lowell it was impossible to open the windows and one had to bo broken it wan feared that the noise would startle tho audience and the mayor stepped forward to explain what waa proposed the audience however had not assembled to listen to tho mayoi and overwhelmed him with cries of gladstone gladstone r at last tho misconceived and in furiated oil clal restored shenco by shouting at tho top of his lungs im not going to make a spobch ivo got something to say john quit a good many years back was moved across tho streot and one of tho men working about the building told me that sandy mclsaacrgrandson of my old friend john mclsaac who lived for many years on the third hn had bought it and intends making a garage of it its rather a dilapidated looking placo now but when sandy clads it with brick or metal it will pass inspection tho presence of that old- building near tho site of tho old blacksmith shop called up many memories soma of you will remember old mr over tons olackamlth bhop further down the stieet on the propeity which nel son moore owns now when a boy bill helped his father it tho smithy and when he grow to manhood ani thought of mairylng and settling down in a home of his own he asked his father for regular wngea this- rather angered tho old man who thought bill was well enough at home where his mot and his stater ann who after ward becimo mrt thomas ebbage wero good housekeepers and kept the family comfortablo but bol waanr satisfied and told his father so in plain terms the upshot of it all was that tho old man wouldnt give in and bill left him bill bought the lot besido tho littlo creek and started busi ness there for himself ho did pretty well for a number of years and than decided to go to hallburton whore ne spont the rest of his active hfo but the old man never forgave bill for going into business fn opposition to him inacton well time settled all tho differences as it invariably does old mr overton died many ears ago his wldowol- lowed him a few years afterword bill overton died eight or ten years ago thomas ebbage pousod away in the house built oh the site of old mr and mrs overtons homo shortly after wil liam overton died mrs ebbage enter ed into rest in toronto a couple of years ago about forty years ago after blh overton went to hallburton anthony stephenson secured his old shop and for years he and his brother john conducted a blacksmithing business there anthony was tho owner and john his helper though forfmany yearn most people thought thoy were in par tnershlp after a while the shop got too small and anthony had a new and larger shop built tho ono sandy mt isaac has just moved to the old site tho ofd bill overton shop was bought with tho little brick cottage beside it by henry sayers who owned it until his death thrco or four years ago at speyslde henry had this old shop movett acrosi tho lot when the old school lane was diverted and edu cation lane opened direct from tha front door of tho public school to main street and placed it facing on the n v school lane a year or so ago charlie holmes bought the property charlie lived for a while in the brick cottage and then concclvod the idea of convert ing tho old shop into a dwelling this he accomplished and it is now a voiy comfortable house nnd charlie and his wlfo and their numerous family occupy it and are quite happy in their lmprov- vised quarters somo minds even
