In Summer they came in a big steamboat called the "Vile- Marie" and in winter they came cover on their sleighs and as the . Gce was three feet thick they were "quite safe. Every Saturday morning Laura "went off to market with her big basket to get nice things for us, especially meat. Nice raw meat! "a Tsetse, Joe, on the yerandah steps for her to come back. _How did we know that it was Saturday? I don't know, but we knew. Per- haps we saw the big basket. * . Anyway as soon as we saw her - and wait in the distance we made a bee-) , line for the kitchen door to get '| 3 ahead of the other fellow. Lulu was always served first as she cried for hers. The Missus called her the "importunate wi- dow". That was the juiciest mor- sel of the whole week, although the grub was generally good there. . At other times the Missus fed us herself, to see that we had enough and did not take each other's food. We had our plates in different parts of the kitchen. ' Tsetse often came to sniff in my plate and I never made any rude remarks, but woe betide me, ify E went anywhere near his) sie would growl and snarl with his - jittle white teeth showing and snap and be so angry. We were fed before the grownups so that there would be no begging at the table. Often when there was something nice for dessert, I would poke the Missus with my nose --always on the off-side away from the Boss, and it was seldom that she could resist me. KKK KE In Summer we went swimming jn the lake and as the Missus was "a very poor swimmer, I had to ~ go in and help her out. She held on to my collar and said "Save } jethe Missus, Monty, save the Mis- "sus," then when we got to shore and she was saved I was the roudest dog in all Haileybury. One Sunday afternoon she swam between two v sw mmers, way, way out to the 'raft, a long distance from the shore. They were sitting on ee the though she could not get back without my help. In I went to help her and by the time I got to them I was so exhausted that they had to drag me onto the raft to rest a while, before we could return to the shore. We had great fun in'the Sum- mer, but in winter what a joy life was. Those clear cold days were beautiful, sometimes with the thermometer from 48 to 50 de- grees below zero. We rolled in the snow, ran races and such fun. 'An old collie and I tobogganed with the children down the hill and barked and tried to keep up with them. That collie and I be- -came great friends and I saw him often. | : When it was clear and sunny - the friends would arrange to meet at our house for a snowshoe tramp or a picnic. Then Laura would set to and bake a big cake and cut sandwiches and they would all appear in their warm clothes--caps and scarves, moc- casins and warm coats and off we would go on snowshoes and some on skis. 2 Sometimes we would come home to 'tea, but more often we would go down to Farr's Island _ about a mile-and half down, the lake in the Cobalt direction. Co- balt was the big silver camp about five miles south of Hailey- | bury. At the island we made a ___ big bonfire, made the tea and ate our sandwiches and cake and nearly froze, but we seemed to enjoy it. The Boss always made fun of us for eating out in the cold, instead of in a nice warm Boom, . On the way home IT would get very tired and try to steal a ride on the back, of someone's snow- shoe, but there was such a yell- ine of "Monty, get off!" that T had to content myself by walking ome.

Once I flushed a nest of young ducks on the Lake Shore on the road to New Liskeard and will you believe it. 1 was-nov allowed |to touch them, but was led away as a very naughty dog. The Mis- sus was the only one who had any sense about it. She said "Why make such a fuss about it. He is only follosving his instinct." Tsetse was never afraid of a big dog, but would tackle the biggest dog that passed the house. One day he argued with the Sey- ; mour's big white collie, who gave 'him a nip on the foot. . He ran in- | to the house crying and yelping 'as if he had been half murdered. | He had to be picked up and com- |forted and made such a fuss over [that I was glad the collie had bitten him.

She would take me to the kitchen "Now, Laura, don't ould beg to" go out. As soon as she let me, out, off I trotted and went from house to house till I found my Missus. 'Haileybury was a very small place and everybody knew every- body else and everybody knew me, but everybody did not like me. There was Berenice, for in- stance, she did not like me at all. although I retrieved her work bag for her one day. We three were out for a walk and the Mis- sus looked back to see if I.were coming and saw that I had some- thing in my mouth. She said, "What is Monty carrying?" Bere- nice looked at her hand and said, "Why it is my work bag and my pet scissors are in it." And will you believe it when I handed it to het she did not even say, "Thank you, Monty." I guess she had so many little girls that she could not be bothered with dogs. She was afraid that I would tumble them over in my clumsy way. Of course she knew I would never bite them--lI never did bite, no matter how rough children were with me. But to return to our muttons-- we were talking of tea parties. I was quite a nuisance at party time, because I could not resist the temptation of begging for candy, or cake although I was well fed at home. When I sawa hand with a piece of cake held out at arm's length (you know how some of them sit when they have on their company manners?) I would grab it. One afternoon Mrs. Farr gave a large party and I followed without an invitation, without permission and against all orders. I knocked at the door and when it was opened I dashed in, greeted the Missus and then went round: looking for a hand with company manners. I soon spied one, made a dash and grabbed, but alas! 1 raft. when I spied her and I walk; lucky for me that I did, as) ¥ as too strenuous and upset the tea over everything.

I was quite fond of him, but he left me alone and ent for walks by myself. One morning I was strolling along when I met my old friend, the collie, with whom [ used to toboggan in the winter. He said to me, "What are you doing here by yourself?" I said I was out for a walk as I was lonesome at the place where I was staying. He said} "You and I have always been good chums; come with me and I will give you a good home, where there is plenty of cake baked right on the premises." I thought that was a great idea and went along with him into the kit- chen, where he introduced me to his Mistress. He said to me, "Stay right here and you will never be sorry." Then he looked at me, then at his Mistress, turned and walked out of the house. The collie did not return, so we made up a search party and the next day we found him asleep on the lake shore--gone to the Hap- py Hunting Grounds of thé dog's Valhalla. .

Always there are those who have a melancholy pleasure in fault-finding. And so there are always those who look upon Advertising as an economic waste and a means by which the sale of inferior merchandise can be promoted. It is quite possible to discover wrong things about Advertising--just as it is possible to find wrong things about water and air, about books and speeches, about motor cars and aeroplanes, about schools and churches, about Canadians and Scotsmen, about knives and forks. Advertising is news and information, and who shall say that it is wrong to communicate news and information? It would be a pretty dull world, ful! of dull people, if there ceased to be a dissemination of news and information. In all ages and in all countries those giving out news and information have attracted to themselves attentive audi- ences; and this is as true today as it was 1000, 2000. 3000 years ago. What Stores are busiest? Is it not those stores which give out the most information about what they have to sell? The public is daily spending money--probably $2.00 a day for evéry man, woman and child in the trading area covered by the circulation of our newspaper -- or, say, $2000 for every 1000 persons. So you can calculate for yourself--you, a retailer, what is spent daily in owr own community for food and shelter and clothing, and for all the other things.
