And its jest as like as not that he'd have turned out that there way if Bill hadn't died and give the boy a chance. The day after the funeral, when the will. was read, Tom was clean flabbergasted. The lawyer said there was ten thousand dollars left ter him after payin funeral expenses, which was light. As yer might guess, Tom had been taught ter look real respectful at a quarter before partin with 1t, and ter have forty thousand of 'em left ter him ter spend alone (his ma had died of hard work and skimpin ten year ago come tater diggin) was more'n he could understand.

But it happened lucky fer Tom that his old deachier what had moved away from these parts down ter Philidelfy, heered of Tom's fix, and knowin the fam'ly, give him a invitasbun ter come down and see him. So off he went. His dad's dyin had sorter got his mind's eye open and he started takin pikchers ter beat 4 of & kind. It was jest wonder- ful the way that boy waked up. ~~ When he left Home he dassent call his soul his own. His dad had told him he was no good, and be believed him 'cause that's the way he felt about it, havin never had no show ter prove that he was any good. He uster think the naybers andthe Guv- erment and everythin else was bad, cause there was one pint where Bill Snodgrass was willin ter loosen up--always willin ter give the devil his due as yer might say. = Yes, everythin was bad from Bill's pint of view "cause every bit of scandal and every mean story hung in his. mind like last years cobwebs. He could tell mean things about the naybers till the cows come home and after. . About three months seemed ter fix Tom up and make a man of him. And the Recordin Angel must have put dewn several good marks ter the credit of that teacher fer that that that three months work. Any- how it was a bit of charity that covered a multitude of the sins of --Bill Snodgrass. When Tom come back he went out ter the old farm where he'd been born and brung up. + His dad had rented the place a couple of years afore. Of course he found the tenant doin what tenant often has ter do --takin all he could out of it and puttin nothin back in.- It don't pay tenants ter improve the farms they run, 'cause as a rule their leases ain't Well Tom told the tenant he guessed he wouldn't renew the lease, and next year he moved onter the farm hisself. Then it wasn't no time till the naybers began ter talk about him. He took $1000 of them ten thousand dollars his dad had left, and fixed the old place up, paintin the house and fixing the barn'and fences. He gathered up all the old truck his father had saved 'cause it "ud come in useful some day, and he sold 'the whole lot ter a Jew at a big profit.- That winter he hired a feller ter do his chores while he. went inter town and got some schoolin on farmin. Now he's one of the best far- ' mers we hasin these parts, and It's a poor year when he don't make a thousand or two clear. He thinks a heap of that there farm, being jest wrapped up in his job. He don't do no kickin because he hasn't got the time and don't feel that way. I'm tellin yer about Bill Snodgrass and his son Tom 'cause I want yer ter keep yer eyes and ears and heart open, so's yer kin see and hear "and feel what's goin on around yer. 'Some folks is as blind and unfeelin as a potash kettle, but I'm goin ter ask yer ter take care of yer mind, Jack.

Brown At the home of his son-in-law, Hector M. Forbes, 1065-15th Ave, West Vancouver, B. C., John Hambly Brown, passed away in his eighty-first year, on Monday morning, March 25, 1918, being suddenly stricken with apoplexy. He had been in usual good health, had attended church on Sun- day morning, had risen on Monday morning and was dressing when he was stricken, passing away without pain or sickness to realms where sick- ness never comes. Always a lover of children he spent his last Saturday night on earth, play- ing hide and seek with the three children of his daughter Florence. "Heaven lies about us in our infancy" At the close of the day "John Brown, on the farther side'of life's continent "saw the children sporting on the shore and heard the mighty waters rolling evermore." The funeral took place on Wednes- day from the home of his daughter, to Mountain View Cemetery, Vancouver. Mr, James D. Paxton and Mr. John Pound, now residing in Vancouver, old friends in other days of Mr Brown being two of the Pall-beaters. Mrs Alex Kerr, formerly Miss McGrovy, for many years in the employ of Mr Brown, Mr and Mrs Jos Cooney, Mrs Hamilton, daughter of Mr Paxton; Mrs Wilson, daughter of Mr Pound, and Miss Mrrgaret McClelland, of Toronto; old friends were also present at the funeral. Of Mr Brown's family, his daughter Florence, in whose home he passed away, and his daughter Agnes G, wife of Rev Chas Sing, pastor of Mount- ain View Methodist Church, Van- couver, were with'him at the end. His daoghter Edith being in New York, and son Fred, being in Peter- boro. Rev. Dr. Henry, pastor of Chalmers Presbyterian, conducted the funeral service, the Odd Fellows' Order being represented by a number of members from a local Lodge and taking part in the funeral rites. John Brown lived well and his go- ing without suffermg was a fitting close of a hfe so thorodgh-going and yet so unassuming. --Com, * "4 Daylight Saving We should have a million tons more coal now, it 18 estimated, if the * Day= light-Saving Bill had been enacted last summer, says the Newark News. Daylight-Saving has been tried for several years in Cleveland and De- troit, and telegrams from those cities indorse it unreservediy. Clevelanders to-day would no more give up the hour of daylight thus gained than they would give up their citizenship, declares the editor of the Cleveland Press, and the editor of The Plain Dealer says that more than four and a half years' actual expericnce with Daylight Saving, Cleveland, one of the largest and most important indus- trial centres in the country, would not tnrn the clock back for the hour it took May 1, 1914, under any con- sideration. It is claimed that this simple device of setting forward the hands of the clock saved 260,000 tons of coal last summer in England and reduced lighting bills 28%., and that in France a saving of $10,000,- 000 was announced. One estimate has it that that saving in this country had the measure been in effect last year would have amounted to $40,- 000,000. A greater interest in faem- -gardening was evidenced abroad among those who, arriving home 'an hour earlier, spent that hour cultivating the gard- en-plot; An increace in farm products resulted, also an interest in outdoor recreation and athletics. It is suggested that all the advan- tages of daylight saving could be ob- tained without touching the clock, by rising and retiring an hour earlier dur- ing the summer months. The answer is that we-would not do it. It would be quite an effort for those accus- tomed to rise at seven, to-get up at six, But when the clock says seven, 'hahit asserts itself, -and in a few days no one remembers that the clock has been advanced.} i 3 vB
