OBITUARY ROBERT FRANCIS DUCK On Tbursday, July 27 there passed away in Bowmanviile Hos- pital, Robert Francis Duck in bis sixty-seventh year. Robert Duck, son of Mary Rit- chie and Frank Duck of Ireiand was born in Part Credit, Ont., an November 30, 1882. Mr. Duck married Anna Mc- Allister and spent the greater part of their married life in and around Newcastle and by their kind ways won bbc many friends who maurn- ed Mr. Duck's death. Tbough the sting of death is stili hepre, Mr. Duck's passing brings ta those close ta him coin- fort in the tbought that bis suf- fering is al aven. No longer wil lie sit and pine because of bis helplessness. "Bob" as he was affectianateiy known by young and aid alike, was a very active mani and this sudden rest caus- eci by bis iiiness anly tended ta pull im faster down grade. His many interests, especiaily bis garden and flowers, brougbt him many bours of bappiness wben he knew there was some- ane with wbom he couid share them. Many were bis friends because bis quick wit and hearty chuckie endeared hlm toalal. He was the possessor of a rare sense.of hu- mour. Until his sickness he was em- ployed as watchman at a factory in Newcastle. He was a member of St. George's Anglican Church and a loyal Masan, belanging ta Dur- ham Lodge No. 66, A. F. & A. M. The funerai service, under Mas- anic auspices, was beid an Mon- day Juiy 31 at St. George's Ang- lican Churcb with bis Rector, Rev. D. R. Dewdney, officiating.

A Siory About Horse Trading To Remind You of Days Gone By by Dan Sullivan It rained Friday morning and sorta put the kibosh on hayin'. Just like usual on rainy days, I could see that Pa was itchin' ta get gain'. For two years, ever since Seth Rankin took aver the general store in the village, Pa's been tryin' ta hornswoggle him in a trade. Sa far he ain't met mucb luck, that fellow Rankin is a pretty smaýrt trader. "Better hitch up," Pa says, walkin' into the shed where I'm .(Abide With Me" was sung at the service. He is survived by bis .wife, two daughters, Joan and Mrs. George Dawber (Vivian), Toronto; one son, Robert, Highland Creek; one sister, Mrs. Noble (Elizabeth) and three brothers, John, Thomas and George, ail of Port Credit. Palîbearers were Wellington Farrow, C. Carveth. Gea. Honey, Wallace Holmes, H. S. Britton and T. Colwill. Beautiful floral tokens were presented by Toronto East Gen- eral Hospital, J. Anderson Smith Co. and Kari Weyrick Woodworks. Frîends from a distance who paid their respects were Mrs. G. Getty, Mr. V. Smith, Mrs. G. Hinnon and Misses Mona and Joan Smith, aillof Toronto. Interment was in St. George's Cemetery, Newcastle. ~'WEDDING EMBLEY - STAPLETON On Saturday, July 29, Evelyn Nancy Stapleton was joined in marriage ta Tracey John Embley at the United Church parsonage, Newcastle, with Rev. L. H. Tur- ner officiating. The bride, the daugbter of Mrs. M. Stapleton and the late M.

Miss Thelma Stapleton was her sister's attendant and wore a paie blue sheer ankie length dress. She wore a halo of flow- ers and a corsage of yellow rosés. Mr. Ross Embley was his bro- tber's best man. The reception was heid at the United Church Sunday Scbool. The bride's mother received in blue printed sheer with a corsage of pink roses and delphiniums. The groom's mother assisted, cbaosing pink printed sheer with a corsage of pink roses and del- phiniunms.

"Gonna make a trip ta the village." Me bein' an obeyin' boy, I brought the team 'round ta the front of the bouse. Pa had Bess, our old mare, on a lead and be hooked ber onto the tailgate of the wagon, the 'n bopped up be- side me. Gonna do a littie tradin'," Pa said as I started up the team, "Seth Rankin ain't gonfla best me this time." I don't say much, cause *me hein' my Pa's boy, I'm an his side, but I figÙre if I was bim, I'd play my cards migbty close. It's a little over two miles from aur farm ta tbe village and it ain't long before I'm pullin' the team up in front of Rankin 's store. Pa lights fromn the wagon wben he secs Seth Rankin comin' thraugh the door. "Howdy, Seth," he says, "Poar bayin weather ain't it?" "Sure is," the starekeeper re- plies. "What brings you in?" be says ta Pa. "Thought maybe we'd make a littie trade," came the answer. "Wbat you got ta trade?" "Scein' as how you got a repu- tation for bein' a pretty good horse trader," Pa says, "'I figur- ed we'd trade in horses." Seth takes a look at aid Bess. "Ain't much of a horse," be yen- tured. Pa keeps a poker face like he's read mast horse traders do. "AI- ways found ber pretty gaod," be says sloWly, "Fellow offered me a hundred dollars for ber just the other day." Oid Rankin squints one eye and looks at Pa like he's tryin' ta figure out if it's lies he's bearin'. He turns back ta aid Bess and rubs ber legs gently. 11 gat one horse I might trade," he says, stili rubbin'. "It's back in the barn if'n your interested." Pa stiil tries ta keep that poker face, but me bein' bis son, I no- tice that bright gleam in bis eye and the way bis moutb twists in- ta a haîf smile at the corners. 'Let's take a look," he says. I gotta admit, Rankin's horse was a smooth lookin' animal. His coat was a reddish colour and as giossy as the shiny paper they use in them magazines. "What's the trade?" Seth asks. I could sec that Pa wanted this horse, still, be didn't want Setb Rankin ta figure it that way. "Dan't look like much of a work horse," Fa venturcd. "Dunna," the storekeeper re- plies, "just bought him vesterday. Probably ain't much good at ail." "Tell you what," Pa says, -l'Il give you f ifty dollars and Bessie for this bere red fellow." '"Sounds O.K. ta me," Rankin said as though he didn't much care what he got for the animal,, Pa farks over the f ifty bucks and I bring Bessie mbt the barn. Kinda bate ta see the old girl go cause she sure bas been. with us a good long spell, but it's Pa's horse. This red fellow he bougbt is a big frisky animal and I have a bard time just tiein' hlm ta the back of the wagon.

At aU u Iuis.& turned, Pa's out of the store and he climbs up beside me. He's got a white piece of paper in his hand and a smile a mile wide an his face. Looks like I hornswog- gled that fellow goad this time," he says turnin' ta look at the red horse, "Bessie's about done for anyway."> I don't say nothin' 'cept "gid- dup." I'm stili thinkin' that Bes- sie was a pretty goad ol' pal. We'd travelled about a mile up the road when we met Jeff Mar- tin, the Ag Hep. "Hello," he says, brakin' bis car to a stop beside the wagon, "What yuh g ot there?" "Just made a deal with Seth Rankin'" Pa says, "fooled him inta takin' old Bess and fifty dol- lars for this frisky red boy." Martin got out of the car and went back ta the horse. I saw a puzzled frown corne on bis face. "Yau didn't fool anybody," be says, "Looks like Rankin horn- swoggled you." It was Pa's turri ta frown. "How came?" he asks. Jeff Martin came up ta the wagon seat. "That horse be- longed ta that Johnston fellow that died last month," he said, "and when they auctioned off his farm animaIs yesterday, Seth Rankin baught this red boy for twenty-five bucks." Pa didn't say nothin' right then. but I cauld guess pretty well what he was thinkin'. Finally he perked up a bit. "'Well," he starts, "Bess wasn't much good anymore, and that red horse is sure worth f ifty dollars if it's worth a ce»Ut. "Guess he's a good enougb horse," the Ag Rep says, getting back inta the car, "but you can't work him. Hasn't been worked since he was foaled." "How corne?" Pa asks. "Don't know exactly," Martin answers, "but from what I hear, be just can't abide traces. Kicks tarnatian auta whatever he's drawin'." Jeff Martin said "solong" as he shifted ge#rs. I said "GiddUp. Pa put bis head in bis hands. "Looks like I got stung agaîn," he says. "Yeah, sure does," I mumbled, but I knew right then that Pa was already figurin' another trade, and I kinda hope he gets hornswoggled again. Way I fi- gure it, as long as Pa thinks be can out-trade a real smart trader like Seth Rankin, tbings ain't gonna be exactly dead around aur place corne a rainy day.
