It is quite evident that whem the fire started, Mr. Hamilton realized what was taking piace and he de- cided to save some of the articles in the home. William Hamilton, Gan- anoque No. 1, a som of the deceased informed The Whig that he was certain his father had saved a bag of flour which was in the kitchen where the fire is supposed to have started. After the tire had died down somewhat, §t was found that the bag of flour had been placed on the milk stand, which was a shor! distance from the house, and Mr. Hamilton is certain that his father put it there, : 'It the story of the stranger Is true, and there is no proof that # is not, ft is thought that Mr. Hamfl- ton waa brought out of the burning building by this man and after the driver departed in his car he went back into the house from which he never came oy again.

Busy 22.--There ars | Gananoque, Nov. several important meetings to ba | held this week in connection with To-night there will be a rally of the temperance! forces in the Linklater school. To- morrow evening Mrs. John A. Bal- loch, on behalf of the Liberal-Cou-| servative Association, has issued in-| vitations to the ladies of Gananoqu~ | and vicinity to attend a meeting iu | the Linklater schoo! auditorium, | which will be addressed by Miss | Laura Bradigan of Toronto on "Tem- perance and Government Comtrol." | On Thursday evening a public meet- | ing will be held in the Delaney Thea- tre in the interest of Dr. J.

There are even here In i Kingston at this very hour some! good people who declare to the can- | vassers that they are too good to do | such a worldly thing as vote. There | is a Scotch phrase used to describe | a certain {ype of people that is very! expressive, "'unco guid," and there! is a very worldly, phrase that speaks | about being so good as to be good | for nothing. Douglas Jerrold ace! described such a one by saying, "He was so good he would pour rose! water on a toad." And now comes | along another good man who, In a! letter in last Tuesday's Standard, | declares how astounded and disturb- ed he was when the pastor of the] church where he went last Sunday morning announced a meeting for! the afternoon to organize his tem-| perance workers for the present tem- | perance campaign, which our good friend chooses to regard as a politi- | cal meeting. Alas, what are our] churches coming to? A house of | prayer turned into a caucus meet- | ing! Awful, surely! But I presume | that if this temperance meeting had | not happened to be in the time of an election, there would have been no protest coming.
