Which must he take first without the, risk -that during one of his navigations, the wolf may devour the goat, or the goat the cBbbage? Suppose he carry the wolf the cabbage is lost; if the cabbage the goat is devoured; if the goat the embarrass­ ment is equal, for he must risk his goat or bis cabbage on the other side of the river."

He was doing some work in the upper story of his new barn, when in some manner he fell a distance of about ten feet, striking on the upper floor. As he is a man who weighs in the neighbor­ hood of two hundred and fifty pounds it can be imagined that the fall was no slight one. He was injured across the back and otherwise badly shaken up. and on Tuesday suffered considerable pain and was unable to move himself in bed. He is under the care of Dr. Fegers, and hopes to get around again soon. OWING to the severe rain storm on Monday evening the speakers from Elgin advertised for the Republican Rally, at Riverside Hall, did not put in an appear­ ance, much to the disappointment ol those having the matter in charge Speakers who will allow a little shower of rain to deter them from keeping an appointment are certainly not very en­ thusiastic in the cause, to day the least The audience assembled, however, were not losers by the disappointment, as Hon. F. K. Granger andH. C. Mead were substituted in their place, and we must say that we have not listened to two better speeches this year, and their effects were plainly noticeable ot the election Tuesday. The last rally was certainly a grand success. THE address of Hon. W. A. Northcott, at the Republican Rally, at Riverside Hall, on Wednesday afternoon last, was one of the best of the campaign. Being in the afternoon and a busy time with the farmers, it was not as well attended aslt dtherwise would have been, butT nevertheless the hall was comfortably well filled by an intelligent and appre­ ciative audience. As we said before the speech was one of the best of the cam­ paign and one that could truthfully be called a vote getter. It was clear, plain, forcible and truthful, and while his crit­ icism of the popocrats was keen and cut­ ting it was at the same time gentlemanly and courteous. He is indeed an able and powerful speaker. The McHenry Quartette was present and rendered some of their choicest songs. Children Should Sleep in Dark Booms Children should be accustomed as soon as possible to sleep in a dark room. Unless they have learned to be afraid of it the darkness is soothing to the nerves, and the rest is more profound and. re­ freshing than when there is the uncon­ scious stimulation of light. It is partic­ ularly desirable for children of a nervous temperament that light should be ex­ cluded, yet it is most often that the ne.EF.aus-. sensitive child is one - whose imagination has been filled with fears of the shapes the dark may hide -- November Ladies' Home Journal. IF our readers find the local page this week rather meager they will bear with us. Politics has been our regular diet, for the past week and therefore little else has been looked after. Now that the battle is over and the victory won, as soon as the coroner does his duty and the remains of the defunct Popocrats are shipped to their final resting pln^e up Salt River, we shall resume the even tenor of our way and attend more strictly to local matters. WE inadvertently omitted to notice last week the Recital by Miss Browne and her pupils., which took place at fhe City Hall on Friday evening, Oct. 24th. The programme was a fine musical treat and proved her to be an excellent teacher and her scholars apt pupils. The Piano Solos by Mrs. Browne, her mother, a lady 70 years of age, were pronounced by good musicians to be the finest ever heard in this section. Alto gether the Recital was a grand success.

Croup is a terror to young mothers and to post them concerning the cause, first symptoms and treatment is the ob­ ject of this item. The origin of croup is a common cold. Children who are sub­ ject to it take cold very easily and croup is almost sure to follow. The first symp­ tom is hoarseness. This is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is eas­ ily recognized and wilt never be forgotten by one who has heard it. The time to a ct is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Chamberlain's Cough Remedy if freely given all tendency to croup will soon "dis­ appear. Even after 'the eroupy cough has developed it will prevent the attack. There is no danger in giving this remedy for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by J. A. Story. n COOK STOVE FOR SALE. A second hand Cook Stove, No. 9, with reservoir.
