His father, John Wallace, was a shoemaker, and for many years followed his trade, while a soldier in the British army, making and repairing boots for the soldiers' use. THRILLING STORIES OF EARLY DAYS. Mr. Wallace can relate many blood- thrilling stories of the experiences and hardships of those early pioneer days and settlers, when the country, Two Harmful Varieties, the Skylark and Tit, Being Brought to Canada in and around the now flourishing city of Toronto, was a dense wilder- ness, with but narrow pathways for roads. He tells of their experiences in those days with the wolves, which “Leave nature alone or there may be trouble." This is the opinion of a writer, commenting on the introduc- tion into British Columbia of British song birds. BRITISH SONG BIRDS MAY BECOME PESTS It was with the best intentions that the sparrow was introduced into Canada, in the hope that it would assist in keeping down the insect pests so harmful to agriculture, but as soon as the bird found that a diet of grain was better worth having, 1: abandoned its former habits and quickly proved once again the truth of the old adage that the cure is often worse than the disease. Among the birds being sent on: from England are the Skylark and thz tit, both very attractive and desirabie birds from many points or View, bu not altogether biameless in the: habits. The lark is an inveterate Ge stroyer of the clover “leye” in winter In an agricultural section of Britta" Columbia it is conceivable that 11‘: experience of the Britta farm; would be repeated and if the v'ri' increased there as they probabl: would at a greater rate than in lit-1.: ain, their introduction might prove t be nothing short of disastrous.

In England the great and bin: tits make sad havoc in the orchard: when the pears and apples begin to ripen, it being their tiresome habit to peck small holes near the stalk of the fruit, so that decay immediately sets in and the fruit is useless for marketâ€" ing. The amount of damage that a single family of tits can causeâ€"and they invariably forage in companiesâ€" is extraordinary, for the birds are not content to finish the fruit they have , L2...‘ [- vvuvvuv â€"' begun. but gfiiehd their whole time in “sampling." so that in a. very short time half an orchard {my be ruined. ,‘onservative newspapers are sooth- LIBERALS ARE CONFIDBNT in McEACHERNâ€"WILLIAMSON The residence of Mr. and Mrs. Robt Williamson, Argyle, on Wednesday, March 26, 1913, was the scene of a pretty wedding. when their eldest daughter, Elsie Catherine, was unit- ed in marriage to Malcolm, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald McEachern, El- don, Ont. The ceremony was con: ducted by Rev. H. H. Turner, Kirk- field, in the presence of their imme- diate friends. The bride looked charming in a dress of white mar- quisette over silk, and wearing a veil caught up with orange blossoms, en- tered the parlor on her father's arm. to the strains of the wedding march, played by Miss Agnes McEachern, sie- ter of the groom. She carried a bou- quet of white carnations and lilies of the valley, and wore the groom's gift, an amethyst pendant. They were unattended. After the wedding sup- per, they left on the 6 o’clock train, the bride going away in a naVy blue serge suit, with hat to match, and persian lamb furs. ’ BROOKSâ€"ELLIOTT The home of Mr. and Mrs. William Elliott, Verulam, was the scene of a pretty wedding, March 6, when their youngest daughter, Elizabeth Gert- rude became the bride of Alma Les- lie Brooks. At half past five, amid the strains of the wedding march, played by Miss M. J unkin, the bride entered the drawing room leaning on the arm of her brother J ohn, where under a beautiful arch of evergreens and ‘ white roses, the Rev. W. ‘3. Honey tied the knot. The bride was gowned in a pale blue silk mull, with cream overlace and insertion, and a bridal wreath of lilyâ€"of-theâ€"valley in her hair The groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful gold bracelet, and to the pianiste a gold brooch. After the usual congratulations, the gathering sat down to a. sumptuous supper, the table being beautifully decorated. The toast to the bride and groom was proposed, to which the groom replied. There were fifty guests present. - The presents were valuable and useful, tangible testimony to the es- teem ln which the young couple were held. as Mrs. Brooks has been organist in the church for some years. They go to their new home near Powles' Corâ€" ners, Fenelon. The best wishes of their many friends go with them. The evening was spent in vocal and in- strumental music and games. What made this event more inter- esting was the fact that Mr. and Mrs Elliott were married thirtyâ€"five veara ago on the above date.

SCARCITY 0F Farmers in this vicinity who have maple trees are finding it a poor year for sap. The scarcity of sapall over the country will probably make the price 04 syrup much higher this year than usual. The cause given for; the p'oor crop of sap is the small‘ quantity of snow which fell last winâ€" ter. The weather now is not favor- able to the running of sap «as the nights should be frosty and the sun bright in the daytime, and the dull, rainy weather of the past few days does not answer.

He also tells \ or the narrow escape of a neighbor, who was surrounded by a pack of those animals, while returning home one evening, who in order to BaVe his life was obliged to climb a tree, where he remained throughout the long hours of a cold winter night, while his besiegers snarled and pranced around beneath, frenzied that they could not reach their intended victim on his perch above. They itook turns gnawing and scratching at the trunk of the tree below, until daybreak dawned, and their cowardâ€" ly fear of the rising sun caused them to decamp, leaving the man in an exhausted state of body, but a more comfortable frame of mind. Imagine his feelings, however, when on re- gaining the ground after his long night's vigil, he pushed the tree over with his hands, so nearly had his savage pursuers accomplished -their task of gnawing it through. THE CHANGES OF HALF A CEN- TlURY. Golden Wedding of Early Settlers Fifty years ago on the 17th or March Mr. Wallace was united in marriage to Catherine McBain by Mr. Watson, minister of the old Scottish Kirk at Beaverton, who died several years ago. Catherine Mc- Bain': father was one of the early settle 3 who built their homes on the e-st side of Lake Simcoe, and as soon as the land could be cleared engaged in agriculture. The old home can now be seen near the C.N.O.R. station at Gamebrldge. The family were closely related to the McLaugh- lins and Mackenzies, who at that time formed a settlement at Kirk- field. Their nearest market and our- chasing point for a. long time was York, and it was a common exper- ience for a man to leave home with a bag on his back, carrying it all the way through lonely forests, re. turning with a bag of flour add othâ€" .er necessaries, occupying a period of several days. Little did they dream that in after years their children would ship their wares and ride them- selves on railway trains operated and controlled by the then Billy Macken- zie, one of their children.' Mr Wallace learned the farming in- dustry when a. boy, at which he con- tinued engaged till a few years ago, and still lives on the old homestead they h3Ve occupied for the past thir- ty-rive years. There were six children born to them, one died in infancy; the others are still living. They also have 25 grandchildren and are hoping to live long enough to see the fourth generation born to the family, being still. in the enjoyment of good health.â€"Toronto Star.
