T. Marks, ex-mayor of Port Arthur, said that the signa- tures were out-ained by fraud and misrepresentation. Mr. N. W. Rowell, who also repre- sented Port Arthur, said that before the town had been given permission to deveIOp power it had been comâ€" pelled to buy out an existing com- pany. Now the Current River Com- pany came along and tried to get a‘, slice of the power of theriver. The town already needed more power ’and‘ had filed plans for additional dams.

That was an advertisement burn, appeared in the Toronto Mail and Empire sometime ago. A similar one appeared in an Ottawa paper. The man whose name was attached to it rented a box at the postoflice, and soon was receiving plenty of letters. So many did he get that suspicion was amused, with the reâ€" sult that Detective Parkinson of Toronto was sent to Peterboro to investigate. He arrived a week ago last Sunday, and on .Monday stood in the postofl‘ice waiting for his man to appear. He soon came, took out his mail and was shadowed by the detective to the Cavanagh hotel. Then. the detective had a decoy ro- gister card put into Armstrong’s Lox. On Wednesday Armstrong got this, and presented it at the wicket. As soon as he had signed for the exâ€" pected letter, the detective arrested him. He had 35 letters and $35 in money on him. Investigation showed that he was living at the Cavanagh House under the name of Bradley and worked at the Canadian General Electric Works by day.

The men- tion of his name recalls that lesser Douglas, the botanist and natural- ist, who nevertheless gate the fam- lly name to the Douglas fir, and this in a country where James Doug- las was virtually the Emperor! David, by the way, narrowly es- caped death at the hands of a tradâ€" er named Black. The scientist has been thoughtless enough to criticize the Hudson’s Bay Compm in the presence of the staunch old trader, who had thereupon challenged him, to a duel. With a slight loss of} dignity but a decided gain in longe- vity, Douglas declined, and lived to be trampled to death by a bullock on another continent. Black's own death was violent, he being murder- ed by an Indian, who was surren- dered to John Tod by his on trib- a treasury of information was re- vealed. For years Hargravo has been Hudson’s Bay factor at York House, a most important post, and, apart from the business of.buying furs, his chief avocation was in the writing of letters. Nearly all the chief traders, factors and omcers o! the company, besides scores a! other prominent people. were among his correspondents. The contest gives one the unpret- lien that the old man’s “broad views” represented rather his lust for controversy than his real opinâ€" ions. There is something rather droll in the long and animated cor- respondence which he kept up with one 01 the Ermatingers, a famous trader, who expended as much energy trying to persuade old Tod o! the error of his philosophy as he did when he made his famous over- land journey to meet Governor Simpson at Monterey. The Bar- grave letters, mentioned by Prof. Byrce, give another illustration 0! this peculiarly Scotch tendency on the part of John Tod. The writer chanced on these letters in London, whither they had been sent after the death of J amen Hargrave, at his home in Brockville. All had been preserved with scrupulous care, tied up and sealed. They were only to he opened by Mr. Hargrave’s child- ren, and when at Prof. Bryce's request they once more saw the light of day. man of the broadest views and tear- less in the expression of them.

On another occasion .1 AN ALIEN’S GOOD ADVICE In a dialogue article in the Nine- teenth Century Magazine, Mr. And- rew Carnegie represents Britain as appealing to Ceres, the Goddess of Harvest as follows. “Help us be- come a selfâ€"sustaining Empire. Keep us no longer dependent upon the re- public for our food and our cotton." The goddess answers thus: “I know this, therefore, the_best and safest position possible for thee is that thou be not dependent for the chief supply of food‘ upon the colonies, where thy food would be subject to capture, but upon an independent re- public of thine own race. This the gods decreed for thy safety. Mad- ness it were on thy part to disturb friendly relations, conditions, and tendencies which are constantly drawing you closer. Hear this. Mark us well. Stir not up strife Mark 'us well. Stir not up with thy kin beyond the sea.” and pushed him out into the curâ€" rent. Soon he was away out among many chunks going down in the swift stream. Fred began to yelp. He was afraid. He was not a big dog, and he was nearly out of bmath; so he could not yelp very loud. 7 But just then a man who worked in a factory came along on his way home to dinner. His name was Hank. He saw that Fred was not able to get out, and heard him yelpâ€" ing. The man started to walk out on the solid ice, and then onto somq big loose pieces, but he Could not reach Fred. He then stepped on some small pieces and they tipped over and in he went. But he was pretty near Fred by that time, and did not turn back, but swam on af- ter the little dog. At last he got hold of Fred and put him on the ice so he could run to shore. Han-k could not get out himself till some meb came down and put some planks out and lifted him up. HE SAVED THE DOG One day not long ago a. little yel- low ddg callpd Fred was standing on the ice near the shore of ariver in which the ice Was breaking up and going down the stream. Fred was looking at another dog, and did not notice that the ice he was on had bro- ken loose and was floating down stream. Whe he found it out he was afraid and when the ice came near a. piece of the shore that came out a. little he tried to jump to t'heland; but it was too far and Fred fell in~ the Water. It was very cold and Fred shivered. He tried to swim to shore but some more ice came aibng “Ink '0 Ar. India-I. J. G. [dede 8t (0. A full line of Tires, Rims and accessories always insto ck.
