Miss Wilder had come across the street and Mrs. Clark had answered the door. Miss Wilder had asked to speak to the witness apd she had gone out on the verandah. Miss Wilder had then said to her "I want to speak to you about the way you have been carry- ing on, chasing men around, before your husband finds out." Mrs, Lan- dry said that she had been very much taken aback and had replied "I don't know what you are talking about." She testified that Miss Wilder had said "You will know what [ am talk- ing about before I get through with you. Yom are a bad woman and should be locked up." Mrs Landry said that she had known Miss Wilder for a long time; at one time Miss Wilder had taught her in Sunday school. On that day, May 16.h, 1934, after her conversation with Miss Wilder, Mrs. Landry said that she left for Toronto. When she return- ed she took the matter up with her lawyers. © Miss Emme Wilder called in: her own defence gave a different ver- sion of the conversation which took place she also stated tha: she had taken every precaution that no one, outside of Mrs. Landry and herself, should hear the conversation. Miss Wilder sald she had made sura that there was no one on the streot; had called Mrs. Landry out on the ver andah to talk to her, instead of go- ing in the house; and she was sure that the door and window opening on tp the verandah were closed. She had intended what she had to say to be heard by Mrs. Landry only. The versation which topk place as t ed to by Miss Wilder was as follows: Miss Wilder---* 'Mabel I have come over to ask you about certain signs I have seen you making toward our house. I think it terrible to be chas- ing men like you are."- ~ Mrs, Landry--'""You have been listening to the neighbors." § Miss Wilder--"I think women with good husbands who chase other + | men shoald be locked up. Mabel 1 have warned you." \ Miss Wilder said that she had not made the statement that Mrs. Lan- dry was a bad woman. Cross-examin- ed by Mr. Smith as to why she had gone to Mrs, Landry and spoken in the way she had, Miss Wilder re- plied tbat she was interested in her home and her brother. Mr. Francis King in summing up -| pointed out that the phrase "chase ing men" did not imply any immor- ality and he also remarked that to 8 as an action for slander it wo have to be shown that Miss Wilder had been careless in taking | mony of some of the witnesses that Mies Wilder had spoken in a loud of this that a third party had heurd the conversation.

CUNARD ANCHOR-DONALDSON : HEMLOOK PARK 1 Among the workers who ive in the pretty -houses built for the ém- ployees of Hemlock Park Farm are men who have had vaged careers, and who have varied accomplish- ments. The following poem, con- tributed to The Whig, was written by one of Mr. A. H. Fair's staff, who prefers stock farming to school teaching: Six miles from Kingston is Hemlock Park, Out there everybody must toe the mark. ; The barn is built on the side of a hill, There of clegr milk you. can get your fill. The milk is pure sweet, The milkers all must be clean and neat; A No filth is allowed around that place, A dirty man leaves at a mighty quick pace. he cows are brushed and combed and rubbed, The walls" are always cleaned and | scrubbed; The floors are swept three each day-- That's how the men their pay. In the afternoons at half-past three The men are milking as hard as can and good and times there earn be. By half-past five they all are through, But then there's the feeding yet to do. % By six o'clock our day is complete, Then away to the house we go to eat. In the morning as early as half-past four We're out there milking those cows onée more. We pull and strip pull, Those pails they surely do get full. Our hands get sore, gur arms, they ache, Our backs just fairly seem to break. But still 'we'll milk our row of cows For if we don't there'll be some rows, ~ : You milk each one as dry as you can Or else they're getting another man, For milk is what we're paid to get And the men have always got it yet. This place 1s owned by Alfred Fair, To keep it up is his great care, His cows are Holsteins, every ope, Our work with them is never done. Their hides are colored black and white, : We brush at them from: morn till night. : So if you want clean milk at dark Just get it from the Hemlock Park. ~Deloc Allan. and strip and SYDENHAM'S HALF HOLIDAY.

This party will be from Cali- fornia. Those who afrived last Sat- urday were understood to hail from there, but when they stepped off the train their badges read "Ari zona" and "New Mexico." They were none the less welcome however, and were just as well pleased with the town and its surroundings as those who come trom' California. Mayor Wilson had a letter from ome of the gentleman of last Saturday's party thanking him for the mice time they had here and winding up his letter by saying that Gananoque and the Thousand Islands are among the wonders of the world. One of the Pleasing and interesting incidents of ast week's river trip was witnessing a big pike landed by a ° fisherinan near Pike Island. The thing was so beautifully staged that several in the party felt Mayor Wilson must have arranged the setting, and that the man had been there probably for several hours with the fish securely fastened to the hook, to.be hauled fo-at the peychological moment. They were finally convinced how- over, that if they passed that way ten times in the hour they might easily see a repetition the only dif- ference being that it would be a different man and a different fish.
