"What do you mean by_ following mé@ in this manner ?" she indignantly demianded. : ? The tramp slunk back a little. But when the stout lady resumed her walk agajin took up his position di- rectly behind her. "Sea here," she exclaimed, whecl- ing angrily, "if you don't go awaily at once I shall cafll a policeman!" The unfortunate man looked al her appealingly. "For Hea'ven's snke, kind lady, halve mercy an' don't call a policeman; ye're' the only shady spot in the whole park." ed Al returned traveller tells a 'story that he heard in England as hiv- ing been once quoted by the laite Sir Henry Campbell-Bannermain, in illustration! of a point he was mak- ing in a political speech. Ai man bad complained to three friends an Englishman, an Irishman and a Scott, thaft his servant' broke a@ great deall of china. 'The matter-of-fact Englishman gave the short bit of practical ad- vice, "Dismiiss him." - "Take it out of his wages,'~sug- gested the thrifity Scat'. Objection to the latter course was mede on-the ground that the Wages werq less than the amount of the damage, whereupon ¢ the/ Irishman came to the reseue with ; "Then! raise his wages." "No, I don't believe in expen- sive practical joking," sakd a Wwes- tern business man, "except by of retaliation. Now, ~ last [ received a telegram from al friend who was travelling in Italy. It came collect, and cost me $7.00, and when I opened it all I read was; 'Thank you, I am pwell.' "Then I sallied forth and sought meq out a cobblestone, a nice large cobblestone, weighing about eleven pounds, and I. wrapped it in excelsior way year pink cotton and white paper, ahd I boxedt it up in a handsome box: and I sent it by express, collect, to my friend far alcrosis the billows. When he had paid bis little $15.00 and had opened the box in St. Petersburg, if I remember rightly, he found in addition to ithe facetious bounding) precious contents a note from me that explained ; ""This is the load that rolled off my 'heart on receipt of thet nets of your good health." Senator Dolliver, of Iowa, recently madé a, speech in Philadetphia to bankers. Hel had been walrned. to let politics alone, and begajn' his speech with} a reference to thalti fact. "I've been warned," he said, 'not fo talk politics, but I assure you that the warning! was superfluous. I've had all the politics thait I want-- for a while. I'm saturated with them. "In fact, I never knew but one "ng person) who had so much of anyth as I've had of pol'tics. That was a Ded Mones girl who came East for the summer and went to Atlant'e City for the months of July, and Au- gust. Brought up so far inland, she neturally started out with a hanker- ing: for sea+food, but she had com- pletely satisfied thait when she stop- ped; in New York on her way home, She was there taken out tto dinner by her fiance, who suggested, as if by inspiration ; "Shall we f begin with some cl<ims ¢ "'Clams!' eried the Summer Girl, 'Don't say clams to me. I halve ea- ten so many lately I rise and fall with the tide." Cc. P. R. to Listowel If present calculations are carried out, the Listowel-Linwood branch of the C/P.R. will be opened for traffic on July 1st. The road is now ballajst- ect to ithe staltion, and fthe _sitings are almost completed. The platforms around the passenger station and freight house are being built. and gangs of men are working overtime at both buildings, finishing the in- teriors. We understand that an agent hiag been appointed, Mr. R. J. Green, agent ait Bobcaygeon, being the per- son selected to take charge of the station here. Mr. Joseph Fair, of Guelph, will be the engineer in charge of the pkssenger train which will make two trips daily each way be- tween Listowel and Linwood. We have not yet learned the naime of the conductor. The train crew, in- including the conductor, enginee-, firemen and two brakemen will take) up thejr residence in town, as this will be their headquarters. There will also be a man to look after the engina house gat night, and we un-« derstand that aJl are married men, which, will mean quite an addition to the population, and tthe oceupat tion of a number of houses. The timettable: proposed for the op- ening! of the line, and which will re- main in force until changed, is follows; Leave Listowel at 8.45 a.m., arriving, in Torento at 12.10. Leave Listowel 3.15 p.m., arriving in To- ronto 8 a.m., arriving in Listowel ait 11.80 am. Leave Toronto 4.15 p. m., arriving in Listowel 7.40 p.m. Tho foregoing table is not as sat- isfactory as would be the case were mora time allowed to remain in To- ronto between. arrival of morning train, there and departure of evening train. This objection iit is heaped will be remedjed in the near future. ats --_-- Perth's Fine Prospects The Globe's special correspondent, writing from Stratford on June 26, says; "Good crop, last year, better ones in view for this year, luxuriant pastures, sleek, healthy cattle and a good dairy market. These are some of the things Perth County can tell about, and it is searcely to be won- dered that the district jg feeling in good humor just now. Were the farmera of this vountry less serious- minded and less afraid of tempting Fata they would be chuckling with sheer content, jingling their money in their trouser pockets, counting the herds and smiling prodigiously. Last winter when there was a shortage of feed all through the country there was plenty in Perth's mows and gran- aries. This year since the pring came there has been neither too much Sun nor tco much shower. The past- ures are deep with green grass, and the cows are in splendid shape. Perth, together with Oxford, is one of the great dairy provinces of West, ern Ontario, and this year, it will it, is stated by authorities, greatly increase} its year's , output in last cheesq and butiter. pe EA ac TSS Te We had a splendid rain on Mon- BORNHOLM.
