William Webber, Cape Vin- cent Cattle Buyer, Is Again In Trouble. Watertown, N.Y., June 12.--wWm: Webber, Cape Vincent, live stock dealer, who has much in the public eye of late, says 'he handed out the wrong roll of bills to Geo, Zahn, a stock buyer, of Castorland, Lewis County, and he is suing him in Watertown for $275. Webber claims that on March 11th last at Castorland he paid to the de- fendant $655 for stock purchased when as a matter of fact he should havé paid him $400. The payment was made at the Castorland station and was made while the train stopped there. A second roll of bills, the plaintiff insists, was handed out to the defendant while the train stopped and that while he discovered his mis- take In a moment the doors were closed and it was impossible for him to acquaint the defendant with! the error. The defendant makes a gene- ral denial. It appeared the defendant told three or four men that the station agent or conductor counted the mon- ey, but when this man was called he sald he never counted the money. Mrs Zahn said she counted the $400 and that it was in denominations of $5, $10.and $20, while Webber insisted the money counted out "was in $5 been | bills, but the other roll lost. had some $20 bills. \ in a and far own, more At grocers everywhere, Ont. MAKE YOUR-MONEY WORK. "And the Lesson the Small Investor : Needs to Learn. Ye The advice of one of the large banks of the country is that every one should | invest his surplus, whether large or | small, in dividend securities of the best | class, whether railroad, real estate or| farm 'mortgages or public utilities, for "To keep money idle is a costly oper | ation." Let every reader of this article re | member. that with as little as $5 or $10 he can make first payment ca the pur chase of a first class $100 bond. Let -every reader who has a few hundred dollars to spare put it in a good $3500 or $1,000 bond on the partial paywent plan, and let it earn something. Five hundred dollars invested in a 6 per cent bond (with the income deposited in a savings bank at 4 per cent) will double itself in twelve years--that is, the $500 will have become $1,000 in that time. This $1,000 at 6 per cent will earn $60 a year or over §1 a week for its possessor. Even at 5 per cent it will double in fifteen years and at 4 per cent in eighteen years. 3 The lesson the small investor wants to learn is that his monéy is just as good as that of the larger investor The former has greater need of being careful because he has less to spare Learn to be a careful investor. The first thing the careful buyer does if he wants to buy a horse, a cow, a house or a farm, a bond or a share of stock is to make a careful investigation Schoolboys may swap the jackknives they hold in their closed hands. but grownup men ought to know better The humblest investor can buy with as great safety as the proudest, for both can deal with the same bankers or brokers in these days when small lots are popular with firms of established character. ---------- Hungarian Faces. I have never seen such interesting photographer's show windows as there are in Budapest. Partly this is because the photographers are good, but partly it must lie in the Hungarians them selves--such vivid, Interesting. uncon ventional faces. These people look as If they ought to do the acting and write the music and novels and plays and paint the pictures for all the rest of the world. If they haven't done so it must be because, along with their natural talent, they have this indolence and tendency to flop and not push things through.--Arthur Rube in Col lier's Weekly. London's Big Bell. "Big Ben," the bell in Westminster clock tower, London, is known the world over, but It is incorrectly named Sir Benjamin Hall, the first commis sioner of works, during whose tenure of office the clock was erected, had far less to do with it than Lord Grim- thorpe, who designed it and was the moving spirit in its erection. In jus tice to him it should be known as "Old Grim."--London Mirror. Newton and Gravitation, Sir Isaac Newton never attempted to tell the people of his day what gravi- tation was. His very frank statement was as follows: "I do not anywhere take it upon me to define the kind or manner of any action, the causes or physical reasons thereof or attribute forces in a true and physical sense to certain centers when 1 speak of them as attracting or enduved with attrac- tive powers." Entirely Stopped. It was at a big boxing show in Brook. Iyn that at the time for beginning the third round of one of the bouts the of- ficial master of ceremonies climbed through the ropes and from the center of the ring made this statement: "Gentlemen, I wish to announce that in the last round Harry Pierce broke his hand and is compelled to stop. He is therefore unable to continue. And 80 he will not fight any more tonight." The First Oyster Eater.

C. O. When Bad Breaks Happen. NYBODY who considers that any young chap who has pull enough to get himself | a recommendation for per- mission to attend the Pro- vincial"School of Military Instruction can land himself a commission, Ir- respective of his ability to lead men or to solve military problems, has another think coming, says John French, Jr,, in The Toronto Star Weekly. I took a whirl at the proposition and I know. It is a dificult and tedious course, and there is no royal road; at least there wasn't anywhere around where I was, for I saw pros- pective lieutenant-colonels and lead- ers of new battalions handed the same line of caustic comment upon their lack of attention or thick-head- edness over certain elementary move- ments as was ladled out to the or- dinary "subs." ' "Your other right! Your other right!" I heard one instructor shout at a man decorated with the crown and star of a lieutenant-colonel. "Have you lived all these years nurs- ing the idea that your right leg was on the other side of you?" "Mr, -,"' anether instructor shouted to another "lieutenant-col- onel" who was bouncing up and down like a rubber ball trying to mark time, "what do you think you are trying to do---dance the baby on your knees? No! no! no! This is not a Highland fling nor a sailor's horn- pipe." The crest-fallen chap quit bis bouneing up and down and commenc- ed to shuffle his feet back and for- ward more quietly, only to be saluted with a roar of, "Neither is this a sand jig." But to get back to the original premises--the course is tedious and hard and there is no royal road. The first day we tackled it Var- sity campus was a fleld of virgin snow a foot thick. They plowed us out into that feathery mass 600 strong, and for five hours they kept us at it, with short breathing spaces, ng up and down 140 paces to the minute--the quick march al- ways handed to recruits in order to instil snap into them. That bard physical grind was the first weeding- out process. There were too many candidates, and it looked to me as if the first cut was to be made on a physical basis, and this was the test. For three days they hammered "us away through the snow and sleet and sero weather. Man after man, the products of soft office jobs, who thought they were cut out to be sol diers, dropped out, "killed" by the hard physical exercise, or the victims of colds, grip, tonsilitis, and kindred ills, It was tough, hard going---a real test even for a man who was used to a fair amount of outdoor exercise. Along about three o'clock the first day my partner on the left, a red faced Irishman, who quit the job of handling a big business to take a course, and who had been fighting and battling his way along grimly for the last hours, suddenly broke loose : "I'd like to meet the fellow that told me I was cut out for a Napo leon," be snorted; "I'd draw and quarter him and pickle his hide to make army boots." : The sweat was rolling off him and every step wae agony, but he hung on to the end. The next day he laid all the blamw for his sore muscles on the Kaiser, and was continually in- venting mew tortures to wish on the Emperor of the Huns. In spite of all the rough weather, the hard drilling, and the tight reins, | the boys found or made lots of fun. One of the N.C.O. instructors we had was an Irishman. His favorite method of gingering up his platoon was to issue orders as rapidly as his tongue could utter them, His own Hames was wont.to declare, a sent) ment echoed by the poet Gay: The man had sure a palate covered o'er With brass or steel that on the rocky shore First broke the cozy oyster's pearly coat And risked the living morsel down his throat. .
