CHILDREN -FLOCKED T0 ABERNETHY'S STORE WEDNESDAY MORNING Did you ever notfte honey bees! around a hive, or young men around! a pretty girl at a dhurch bazaar? | Well, that was tile way the school | children of Kingston flocked to the Abernethy Shoe Store between eight and nine o'clock this morning. | What was the attraction? Just| {hat an advertisement in the British |] Whig--and in the Whig exclusively | --of last evening announced that to | each boy and girl who would write their name "and address and age on an envelope and bring it to the store this morning between eight and' nine o'clock would be given free a goed thick scribbling book. Three cash | prizes of a dollar each were also of- | fered to the best writers under cer- tain ages, Perhaps those books didn't fly. | | There were about a thousand of || | them, and they disappeared in great rapidity. As Mr. Abernethy an- Whig." He knows now that practi- | cally all the boys and girls of Kings- ton read the Whig. Some of 'the first lads to bring in their names came from such distant points as Portsmouth, Bath Road and the Out- er Depot. There are, - of course, hundreds of children into whose families the Whig is a daily visitor, but who were not able to get down go ear® in the morning, or before #chool opened at nine o'clock. Had the hours been extended to comprise 'those from 4 to 6 p. m. doubtless many thousands more would 'have been on hand. The moral to all boys and girls of the story is this: that it pays to get up early in the morning ana that it pays to'read the Whig every day. ANOTHER FIREMAN GOES.

The retiring fireman is Francis Clark, who joined the force last August. He has gone to Wel- land, force numbered eighteen.
