Lust Saturday morning the husband rescled home at three o'cloek and arciber quarrel occurred, the wife cLerging him with infidelity. The Wife testified at the inquest that her husband threatened her.

Two Irishmen were engaged in a dispute ina cemetery one day' "Well," said one, "I don't like this cemetery at all, at all." I "Well," said the other, "I think it is a very fine cemetary." "No," said number one, "I don't all, at all, and I'll never be buried in it as long as I live." ' "What an unreasonable ould fool ye are, to be sure," said number two, apparently losing his temper. "Why, man. alive, it is a fine cemetery, and if my life is spared, sure I'll be bur- id in it." i Bufglars at Portland, Me, stole a sife from the Woolworth Company's office, and substituted an imitation.

If Mr. Rogers can | have wheat and wheat products put on the free list by Order-in-Council, i and thus open the United States mar- || ket immediately, he will + have alll mighty strong claim on the gratitude | { of the western farmers. It is re- ported that the strongest opponent!!! of free wheat in the Ottawa Cabinet is Hon. W. T. White, Minister of | Finance, who is regarded as the| chief representative of the privi-| leged of the east. It is also stated that the railway interests are sec-| retly opposing free wheat to the very utmost of their ability, The pub-| lication of the huge profits of the big| | milling companies has rather upset the arguments of Mr. White and those of his colleagues who have been preaching the need of protec- tion for these interests. In fact it is now stated that the milling inter-| ests, or at least some of them, are sorry they exposed the enormous profits on the past year's operations. What's In a Name? Rev. Dr. 8. D.
