One of the cases of interest was that of Mr. J. P. Altcheson against the township of Elma, Mr. Aitcheson was suing for $20 which he claims should be re- funded on bis taxes. His story is that in February 1919, his farm was as- sessed for $7300 and the schedule} left with him was filled out for that amount. The amognt was n- creased to $8,000, he states, and by Guat tiene he ledele of thie te wae tes late to appeal.

In other words it means that the Town Hall will have to be re-wired throughout and as this will take at least one thousand dollars of the tax-payers’ money, it is to be hoped that when the job is done this time that some other in- apector won't come around and order the performance to repeated in whole or part agaip. While change is our portion here, it is not nice to have such expensive transitions occurring toe often, or words to that effect. Fired and Put Out— Walkerton Times—While strolling down the Main street here on Sunday night with one of Walkerton’s fairest daughters, a Hanover young man slip- ped and fell on a box of matches he had in his pocket, causing more than a eentimental flame to light’ up his person. A small sized sensation ensued on the street as something more vivid than the fire of love be- gan burning briskly. He was fast developing into a burnt offering when the girl took a hand and put him out. Feeling that he had had a hot time in the old See that night the Hano- verian in hitting the trail for home and mother dilated on the difference | between the matches that are made in Heaven and those that are made in Hull, and wondered whether any other Lothario bad even “fired” in courtship and “put out" ip love. 8 The a¥erage man wastes a lot of tinte other people things they don’t care to hear.

ORIGIN OF HYMNS. Few of Them Are Romantic, ‘Authority. “The origin of hyemns fs not rowan- gin of SF Says ter-<f Syma lore” und tne greatest hymnpologist in the country, who has mode a life study of the subjec', and who during thirty-five years has made a cdllection of 8,000 volumes of tc and books concerning church . In an interview with Isabella Huttie Smith, writing for the Con- tinent (Presbyterian), he told how Charlotte Elliott wrote “Just As | Am" when she was ill and discourag- ed; “how the darkness of death was creeping over Rev. Henry Francis Lyte when he wrote ‘Abide With Me,’ and how the inspiration for ‘America’ came from a little book of European tunes." To the writer— “Dr. Benson explained that many erroneous stories have been told of the origin of familiar hymns. A popular fable is about the writing of ‘Jesus, Lover of My Soul.’ The story says that Charles Wesley was etand- ing by a wintow watching a dove and a hawk fighting in the afr. As he watched, the dove few for protection to the open window and clung to the reast of the famous divine. The story has no foundation in fact, Dr. Benson says. His opinion is that hymns are usually written at desks at death-bed scenes or al critical moments of any ind. “There was no external occasion for the writing of ‘My ‘Faith Loo's Up to Thee,’ but Rev. Ray Palmer, who wrote the hymn in 1830, accord- ing to his own account, felt great emotion and spiritual uplift at the time of the conception of his great poem of faith. That hymns are often written for special occasions is de- Mmonstrated by ‘O Little Town of Bethlehem,’ fd Phillips Brooks, and ‘From G d's Icy Mountains,’ Bishop Bresks wrote his hymn for a Christmas festival, and the music came to Mr. Redner one night, a few days before the hymn was to be sung, He seemed to hear it sung, he told Dr. Benson, and immediately wrote it down. The missionary written for a special missionary ser- vice at the request of his brother-in- law by Reginald Heber in 1819. Heber was afterwards a bishop. The original manuscript of the hymn sold fur forty-two pounds sterling, more n the amount of the entire offer- ing' at the missionary service for which it was written. “Francis Scott Key wrote another hymn besides the United States’ na- tional anthem, a fact which is not generally known. The hymn is called ‘Lord, with Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee.”"—Literary Diges' md ee ee ee ee + + FROM OTHER MINDS vee teleieleticicicieieieiiietetiab bette Herbert Hoower—We have just passed through a period of unparal- leled speculation, extravagance and waste. We shall now not only reap its ihevitable harvest of unemploy- ment and readjustment, but we shall feel the real effect of four years of world destruction, and its economic and sagial problems will stand out in vivid disputation. One of the great- est conflicts rumbling up in the dis- tance is that between the employer on one side and organized labor on the other. Probably the tendency to domination exists among the extrem- ists on both sides. There are certain areas of conflict of interest, but there is between these gronne » fer srester area of common interest, and if we could find measures by which, through co-operation, the field of common interest could be organized, the area of conflict could be in the largest degree eliminated.
