Taylor made representations to the Government with a view to se- curing assistance in improving their lot, but Sir Alexander Mackenzie was opposed to discrimination in favor of any one class of immigrants. The Prime Minister, however, was called away on important ' business, and Lord Duflerin, whose sympathy and co-operation had been won, carried through a scheme during Mackenlie's absence.

Winter had set in when the party reached their destination on Lake Winnipeg. Tents were pitched, some of them of skins, but more of can- vas, and under these many of the Icelanders lived all winter. L. C. I. Field Day of Sports --Various Events Well Contested «List ‘of the Prize Winners The annual field day of the athletic associatiOn of the Lindsay Collegtamlft. 4 inches. Institute was held at the agricultur- al grounds yesterday afternoon. 0w- ing to darkness the sport was called off, to be decided at 4.30 to-day. Everything pointed towards the old gold winning the major number of events at the conclusion of yester- day’s games. The citizens of Lindsay are not worthy of having many bouquets handed to them for the part they played at the great event, not more than 200 townsfolk being present. The day was ideal and the collegiate boys and girls showed up in good form. ' Same Hercules or Appolo may have been amongst the young men who took part in the sports yesterday, and may bring credit to our country in future years. The teachers at this seatiof learning must have looked with pride upon their pupils on the field, as they saw them hurl the discus and vault with pole, which demonstrated that physical and mental training went hand in hand. Mann, Collins, Gillogly, .Ca~ rew, Tolmie, Coombs, Williamson, Mills, Glendenning, Thorburn and many more of the students are bound to shine in the athletic world if properly'handled. J In the pole vault Mann had it 1 his owu way, while Carew in the juniors bounded over like a deer. Collins in the shot-putting event had a walk over. It was 1 ice tak- ing candy from a baby, the winning of this event.

"Had it not been for rabbits we should have perished, but they were very plentiful and the half- breeds and Indians that visited us continually, occasionally brought in other game. They would came and squat down in our kitchen, and would not.move until they had been given a good meal." ' "One day after supplies had run short and we had doled out rations carefully. a couple half-breeds came to the settlement and reported that 17 Indians were lying dead at Drunken River, a few miles distant. Some disease had broken out among them, but none of them knew or even gUessed what it was. One of the diseased Indians brought the scourge into our camp and the Icelanders fell prey to it. We thought it was Just some blood infection and that they were becoming acclimatized.

Hughes Explains The Penny Bank System In the Public Schools School Inspector, Mr. James L. The Penny Bank of Toronto. Hughes, of Toronto, gave a most in- teresting talk to the WI of the Board of Education, school teachers and citizens last week in the Coun- cil Chambers. The Inspector ar- rived on the 8 o’clock pan. train, and was driven to the hall by Dr. White. a. member of the board. Mr. Theo. Stewart took the chair, and in a few brief words introduced the Inspector; and told the object of his mission lb our town, also how pleasing it was to have the speaker in our midst. and he regretted to say that. owing to other meetings and the disagreeable night, many were unable to attend. ' The maker; Mr. Hughes. on aris- ing. said in part..that he was retir- ing from his present position after 39 years' savice in the educational world, and he intended the balance of his life would be devoted to the betterment of conditions for the coming generations.

The Inspector said there were five would use his strongest cadavers to carry out his intentions. The five is no money made by any person out of this institution, outside of that which deposf‘ors receive, everything being of a philanthropic nature. In speaking of a bank deposit the speaker said to possess a bank ac- count made eVery man feel better; it gave him a pride in himself which naught .189 could do. Boker Warh- ington, in a statement, asserted that he could always make a negro feel he was a man after he once got a bank account established. The pen- ny bank is worth more than the knowledge of geography or history. No definite conclusion was arrived at. but it is possible that the Board of Education will take stepsto have this system placed in the public schools of this town. A' hearty vote of thanks, moved by m“. A. Jackson, was accorded the speaker at the conclusion of the meetlng. Will of Late Wm. McCaffrey Hr. Wm.

Morrison, of Lindsay, Ont., whose sad demise took place on the 5th of September, 1912, is deeply regretted by his many friends, of whom Willie had a great many, for to know him was to love him. He was bereft of a lov- ing father at an early age and was ever anxious to help his widowed mother. He was a manly little fel- low, always ready to help those he thought needed him. He had a most loving disposition, the writer having known him from infancy. He was exceptionally bright in school and always had a kind word to say of those by whom he was employed and whom he came in contact with day by day. He was certainly per- feet in form and feature, and it is hoped that the great mystery which surrounds dear Willie's sad death will soon be revealed. He was laid to rest in the Riverside cemetery be- side his sister and father who pro. deceased him some years ago. lie leaVes to mourn his great loss a sorrowing mother and two sisters, Mrs. R.
