How was he, poor fellow, to know that while he slum- bered, it had been carried away on the shoulders of four sturdy Blazers and deposited in their rendezvous, a shack in the neighboring forest ? Here, while devising their plans, ,the Blazers feasted upon fowl obtained without consent from their respective parents, and cakes and pies stolen from wayside ovens. A person travelling through Dur- 'ham in the Blazer clays beheld sights that might riVal some of those found in the “Arabian Nights.” Things had become topsy-turvy.

Threats only served as kindling for the work of the BlaZers. One farmer whose cow had been decorated in the above fashion, boasted "The rascals shan't. harm my property again; I've got a gun, I have, and I can use it, Fifty Pacific type engines have been ordered, and of these 19 have been delivered by the Baldwin Locoâ€" motibe Works of Philadelphia, and 15 by the Montreal Locomotive Works.

Ten Pacific engines of a slightly h:avier type have also been order-lei from the 'Montreal Locomotive \Tcsx's directly the order just mentioned is complete. These are intended for heavy passenger service between To- ronto and Montreal and between Niaâ€" gara. Falls, and the Sarnia tunnel. 01d Davey Bennett was an apple~ grower. Every year be stored a large quantity of apples in a little back room in his house. The Cavan Blaz- ers got it into their heads one year that they had a claim on a portion of these apples, and they made up their minds to obtain that portion. 80 they took advantage of a. dark. night, and With the aid of a dark lantern, a few cotton bags, a ladder, a pitch fork, and a stove pipe hole which happened to be in the floor of an upstair room directly over the apple room, took possession of about three fourths of Davey's apples. At first Davey, who 'was a superstitious old fellow, declared that “it was witches,” because there was not an outside door or window in the room, Belleville, one engine hauled 86 cars of freight, a train three-quarters of a. mile long. They will be used on main line service. UNDERTAKING 25 Kent, East LINDSAY but when he found a pair of new boots, containing forty dollars, he decided that it was fairies.” When the Methodist church began to hold protracted meetings in Ca- van, several Blazers professing a. keen interest, attended meeting numv her one. Before entering the church they searched the sheds for sparrows. Then they filled their pockets. Now, in those days, churches were lighted by candles. When the meeting was at its height the young men released the Sparrows. The frightened birds flew straight at the lights. Imagine the result ! In an instant the crowd- ed church was in darkness. The proâ€" tracted meeting became one of disâ€" tra ction. For some reason, perhaps to repreâ€" sent themselves as Robin Hood, per- haps to throw into the background their mischievous tricks, and thus keep on the good side of the people, or perhaps through kindness of heart, the Cavan Blazers performed a few deeds which were worthy of the knights of old. Not infrequently a poor widow opened her door to find on the step a bag: of flour or a quar- ter of beef. A sick farmer’s lament- ings were followedby rejoicings when one morning beheld his grain, which he expected to lose, shocked in the field. The Blazers had blazed away1 at it all night by moonlight. When the people of Durham county resent: ed the levying of toll on an unfinish- ed road the Cavan Blazers announc- ing themselves as the peaple’s cham- pions, gathered together in a sleigh- Eload, and, arriving at the first toll ,gate, demanded free entrance. Being :refused, they broke down the gate, iand, lifting the little house containâ€" ;ing the tollkeeper on the .sleigh, they }drove on. Arriving at a swamp, they {released their burden and drove on. “The infant mortality in eighteen cities of the Province to a. casual observer clearly indicates that thnre is an unwarramtable waste of child life in many of them,” he said. “It is the cry of the babies. It is a plea for the education of the parents: in all that pertains to infant life. It is the :greatmopportunityv for health deâ€" partments to carry on exploration work at the public cost, instead of leaving it to philanthropy and 50> cial organizations. It is essentially a. branch of municipal health work and should be instituted and carried Or: as much as any work now being Dr. Hodgetts referred to the Do- minion Government’s encouragement of the farmers by granting money for education along agricultural lines, and he said‘ “The Government might devote a dollar or two each- year to the education of our people- in the intricate problems of propag- ating the race and the conservation of the lives of our babies.:’ Dr. Hodâ€" gett claimed that it was as much a part of the work of the Government to spend money on educating the peo- ple on these lines as to spend money on bringing men and women into Ca.- nada. ' J. D. Flavelle, of Lindsay, con- gratulated the club on its Gsplendid building.He said that me was exceed- ingly glad to be back for the Winniâ€" peg honsp-iel, as it was 24 years since he first startéd coming and as he had curled for 40 years he considered that this would be his last time as a. barticipant in the Winnipeg ’spiel. (Special to The Post ) Toronto, Feb. 6â€"Dr. Charles A. Hodgetts, medical adviser to the Conservatioa Commission, Ottawa, addressed thetchief officials and in- spectors of the civic department of health in the City Hall yesterday on “Conservation of Life.” Dr. ‘Hodgetts cited figures to show that infant mortality in Ontario is at this rate of 195 deaths per 1000 population. By infant mortality he meant the death of babies within a year from their birth. Referring to the fact that in this Province th°r~ were 34,341 deaths in 1911, Dr. Hodgetts said about 40 per cent. of them were preventible; 14,000 lives which should have been saved to the country were lost. He calculated that each life was worth $29,000 to the country, hence the to- tal loss in money was $40,000,000. In Toronto no less than 6000 deaths had occurred in 1911 that were prevent- ible, and this entailed a loss, of from $6,000,000 to $10,000,000. Education was the great need the doctor claim- ed, to prevent such waste in future. At the opening of the Thistle rink at Winnipeg, this week, Mr. J. D. Flavelle.was among the guests. The Winnipeg Free Press says:â€" HIS LAST TRIP TO WINNIPEG ’SPIEL Marching along the moonlit roads, the Blazers often sang of “those deeds, which are still remembered by the people of their native county, after a lapse of sixty years.” SACRIFICE 0F THE INNOCENTS PLANNING A CHAMPLAIN CELEBRATION A WONDERFUL DISCOVERY The movement is in the hands of an active committee, which will have the hearty suppont of the whole com.- munity and. a strong effort will he made to secure a substantial vote irr this year‘s estimates.

As soon as Zam-Buk is apâ€" plied to a wound or to a diseased part, the cells beneath the skin’ssurâ€" face are so stimulated that new heal- thy tissue is quickly formed. This forming of fresh healthy tissue from below is Z‘am-Buk's secret of healing. The tisme thus formed is worked up to the surface and literally costs on the diseased tissue above it. This is why Zam-Buk cures are permanent.

A start: has already been made in the line of cattle raising in» the dis- trict, which indicates what may yet be achieved when people. became thor- oughly awakened to the great future of the district in the ranching indus- try. There are now in a part of North Victoria County the‘ ibliiowing ranches in active operation: "There are better Opportunities right here in Ontario for successful ranching, than in the West, but the glamor of distant fields has blinded Ontario men to the possibilities right at their OWn doors." In these words Mr. Joan Sheriicn, of this city, one of the biggest (at- tlemen in the country, emphasized the future of ranching in Ontario. Mi‘ Sheriden told The Star that the pos- sibilities were almost limitless if the work be followed the right way, and he is well qualified to state, for he owns a ranch area of 9, 900 acres right here in Old Ontario, not much over a Hundred miles from Toronto.

Last: Wednesday there was a very interesting hockey match, which was. very closely played, the score at the finish being Minder: 13, Haliburton 10. Haliburton was put to a disad- vantage as three of their men were unable to play, and their places had to be filled at the last minute. There was a large crowd in attendance at the rink. While the boys were doing a little practising before the match commenced; Mr. Alfred Sewel, the Haliburton goalkeeper. got a very bad blow on the face with the puck, his face Was cut open from his eye to his chin, and three teeth knocked out. Dr. Baker dressed the wound andt at last reports he is getting on as well as can be expected. His place was filled by Mr. Headly, who al- though a good goazkeeper, is not as good as Mr. Sewell. \Ir. Sewell is very popular in the hockey club, and we hope to see him about again soon.â€"-Bobcaygeon Indepenflent. ing. “If they have the business sense.
