The physical drill given by the boys under the direction of Sergt. Jhckson was a revelation especially po considering that the lads had but jone ' practice. The sale ot work of the ladies of the Church of the Good Shepherd was an unqualified success, and the ad- dress given by Lady Moss was most interesting and one could readily un- aei'istatvd that the subject was very 121036 to her heart. The recitation by Miss Johnston of Weston makes me of the belief that She is a great student of elocu- tion, especially as applied to gesture. The recitation was well rendered. T All over, my reverie was broken and I was brought down to earth by the hand clapping. The hats off 'to you, Miss Hines, and may your shadd ow never grow less.

Mr. Moore, Jr., delighted the audi- ence with several songs and was com- ‘plimented by the Rev. Mr. Summer- hayes on the strength of his voice audits splendid tonal qualities. The Christmas entertainment for the children of the Mount, Dennis Methodist Church was held Tuesday evening, at which a very enjoyable time was spent by everyone. There was an interesting program by the children.

Miss Hines delighted the audience with that old southern melody, "Car- ry me Back to Old Virginia." It was wandered by request. Her voice seem- ed to harmonize perfectly with the theme, and I seemed for the time to gaze in retrospect on _tT13r boyhood days in old Virginia down on the Jam- es River near Richmond. I could see again the old Spottiswoode plantation, the cotton bolls just bursting, nig- gers "fussin" around, here one pick- ing. ' . The concert numbers were all that could he desired and then some. The duet by Misses Hines and Knight, en- titled a “Perfect Day," was also a per- fetc duet. The rendition was perfect and the voices harmonized perfectly, A patriotic recitation by Miss Eva Barber was indeed a treat. This lit- tle baby seemed to be the leg of lamb. Mr. Davis is a nephew of the min- istei; Mr. Charmer, being the son of Mrs. Chantler's sister. He will exhi- 'bitj,"a collection of Chinese embroid- ery at the home of Mrs. E. R.

MOUNT DENNIS F If thesg0vernment would compel the shoe manufacturer to stamp his product with the percentage of lea- ther it contained instead of allowing them to foist all sorts ot substitutes on the public they would thereby con- fer" a great public benefit. _ _ Children fitted with this sort of footwear through our sudden climatic changes are (through getting wet cold feet) very liable to tonsilitis, pneumonia, and other complaints which spring from this source. His ambition again induced him to look\for another battle, so he ap- proached a chauffeur at Keela and Dundas. I "Say, sport!" he says, "do you know where a lad kin get into a good fight?" For instance/last week a pair of men's boots were brought in for re- pairs. The man had paid $4.50 tor them at what I thought was a re- sponsible establishment. He had bought them top heavy out door work. And to all appearances the bottoms were very heavy. After wearing them less, than twp weeks the first sole wore through. It was less than an one-eighth ot an inch thick. The wear- itiitthrough of this sole disclosed the tatWthat it was covering two soles ot paper. Remember, not composition, but mere paper. These two paper sores were incased between two lea- ther soles, one next the upper being 6tto:isiacth of an inch thick and the toprsole next the ground one-eighth offan inch thick. I maintain that this is as much an offence as that of handing out a lead coin. In place of a silver one. For when a lot ot rot like this is assembled and then edge trimmed and finished, it has the semblance ot a good article. Who can tell the difference, I am pertain no one will unless they have had lea- ther experience. But really there is no reasonable excuse tor charging theirtte for this class of sole for the reason that good solid sole leather can be bought brmanufacturers as low as 720 a lb. and upper stock in proportion, then the insteps instead of being built of good honest sole leather are in most cases stiffened with'wood or steel springs, thereby causing all kinds of foot trouble. I can stand sponsor for the state- ment that the retailer or the actual shoemakers are getting the money. The shoe operators' wages are noth- ing to boast of and the output of a well equipped factory is about 20 to 30 pair a day per man. The W. T. 'Douglas Co. exceeds this 'by 'quite a bit. They turn out 17,-. 600 pairs a day with 4,000 operators, averaging a little better than 40 pair per man. Pi-l have the soles of paper that I removed from the boots mentioned, which cost $4.50, and by the way, the insole was composed of 1-32 in. of leather covering another piece ot hea- vy paper. In Jumps the lumber jack and away goes the'chauffeur up town with him. And he lands him in a meeting of returned soldiers and sympathizers. He told him to yell "three cheers for the Kaiser!" [ The lumber jack got on a street car and landed out in the Junction. “If you want to know where you can get into a real roughhouse," says the chauffeur," kin take yer to that." A lumber jack from the bush up north blew into Toronto last week, intent on having a. good time and blowing his roll. After a, good night’s rest he ranged abroad in the morning -in the afternoon he took in the mo- vies, and what ever other adventure transpired, including meeting up with a "Montreal missionary." Of course they were all over him in a minute. After fighting tor about an hour the fight wore itself out. "Lead me to it!" says the lumber: jack. _ Accordingly the driver hauled him out to the corner of Eglinton Ave. in time for him to make an attempt to, board the six o'clock car. Well. he got his foot on the step and fighting like a demon managed to get inside, where he got action enough to please even the man who invented fighting. Of course the old travellers didn't mind it. They were used to it after riding a week on a Weston car. Iiif; "Hilda Gibbons, and Shirley Dug- gan. Form II.

One' would imagine'trom the lack of leather of a wearable Quality in boots of the present day that the man- ufacturer was fearful of arrest using same, he is so careful to avoid doing so. Some investigation should be started of this question. Great publi- city was given the bacon investiga- tion and it was not half as essential to the public welfare as the shoe question. The lumber jack emerged from un- derneath and approaching the driver who had taken him out held his hand-20m and said: Some of our readers will remember the hand made boot and the instep mentioned. It was built high in the middle lengthwise, and at the edge was only the weight of the welt and sole. t It was the ambition of a maker at that time to build up a reputation for. good wearing and good fitting footwear and at a, reasonable price. I have become perfectly disgusted at the condition of the b,usiness to-day. After he had put considerable To- ronto the good under his belt he got up steam for some real action. Approaching a taxi and saluting the chaffeur and says: "I'm a ring tailed snorter from the north, that's me, boss." “I'm looking for a fight, Jack, and none of the parlor stuff. Do you get When the car arrived at its distina- tion at, Keele and Dundas it spilled its load. At that period we never heard of fallen arches and other foot troubles. I attribute "the fact that there was less foot trouble to the custom of building the shank particularly strong. I am a shoe man and served my apprenticeship at a shop where all boots and shoes were made and re- paired by the hand principal, the me- thod of assembling was by hand sew- ing, and wooden pegs. "Sure I get you. Scramble in and I'll lead you to it." “But her there, old coon! I've had l?'.' the time of lei, life. But you said you knew eve»'one around these parts."
