Now-Coms Advanced in Positions ---- To Talk About the Patriotic Fund --Horses For the Transports ---- Military Qualifications, For some time past the guard on Tete de Pont barracks has been con- stantly reporting extraordinary hap- penings around the barracks. The 2nd battery, which supplies the guard, is composed to a large éxtent of men who never before wore a uni- form and probably know very little about the self-control that is needed to make a good soldier. Ong of these men, who happenéd to" be on sentry duty on a certain evening about two weeks ago, called out the' whole guard at two o'clock in the morning to see the brilliant discharge of waste-gas from the gas works. As evervone knows, this illuminates the sky for a few seconds Very brilliantly. ° On Tuesday evening the guard was again called owt to drive off several | men (presumably Oermans), who wers! attémptling to attack the barracks. | The youthful sentry had, he claimed, | seen a man in civilian clothes crawl ing across the square with the evi- | dent intention of gaining 'an entrance mto the main building in the vicinity of the kitchen just. under the ser- geants' mess. The incident was treat- ed in 'a humorous 'way hy the ser- geant-major, but; of course, he report-' ad the. matter to the adjutant, who in turn reported it to Col. G. H. Ogil- vie. The latter viewed the matter ns a hoax, On Wednesday evening Capt. Ring- wood was called up by telephone ani told that two very loud reports that Shook the earth had been felt in the vicinit.e of Kingston Mills, and it was thought that the bridge had been blown up. The report was again treated as a hoax and not acted upon, One of the junior officers at the barracks became se worked up over the continued reports that he made n [ersonal inspection at eleven o'clock on Wednesday night, and ordered an. other guard to patrols the shore in front of the barracks. He also had that unfortunate man walking back and forth in front of the lights of thy' guard room. ! The guard will hereafter be visited overy hour: by. the non-commissioned officer in charge. In recognition of the vigilance of the guard, the men of the battery, to- night, will presentithe non-com. in charge with an iron cross, which is being specially cast. The way of the transgressor is hard; at least the thirty-two soldiers con- nected with the 21st battalion, who were granted leave of absence to go to their homes to spend New Year's, think so. These soldiers returned on Wednesday, a day late, and for their offence they were all fined one dollar and costs, C.B. for five days and giv- en extra drill to perform. Ald. Nickle, chairman of the Pa-! .{ triotic committee, will speak on the dpending of the patriotic money and the management of the same in the Salvation Army Citadel to-night.! Soldiers going overseas and everv-| body wishing to know more about the fund are invited.

Aged Man Was Given Shelter at Po- : lice Station. Homeless and penniless, an aged man walked into the police station on Thursday afternoon, and asked for protection. He was given the best the police station ean afford, for a man in hard lack js mever turned away fram the police station. The lateh string is always on the outside for the poor unfortunate. The man was glad to get in where it was warm, and his case will be investigated. The man, who came heée from drince Edward county a short time ago, gave his age as sixtv-four. He cays 'he has relatives in Rome, N.Y; and is very anxious to get there as he says that he will be well cared | for. Tt is just a question, how- ever, if the immigration agents would ! allow him to cross the horder. "I'm willing t6 work if I can get it to-do," he said, "but vou know it is hard to get work these davs." This winter the police statin has been "a shelter in' a time of storm" to a great many unfortunates. In fact many would have suffered from the cold had there heen no police station for many a man would suffer cold and perhaps death before pleading with some person for a night's lodg- ing.
