How to capture a man in Leap Year is a problem for the young ladies to solve. But the problem that is uppermost in the minds of the young men is where can they buy good Clothing. This question is easily solved when they look at our stock of Readyomades. We have the styles and fit, also the values and prices, and are running off all our Ready-mules at astonishing low prices. Look stylish by wearing our Clothing. We can save you money. Space forbids us quoting prices. flfiflfififim Goods delivered promptly to all parts of the town. fie People’s Store ' l‘OCCl‘leS.

At the annual meeting of Maple- wood cemetery Mr. James McIlvride was re-elecred trustee and a vote of thanks tendered the board for the failhful fulfilment of their duties. Mr. \Vm.

Dunn delivered at Durham a week ago a load of pigs just. five and a half months old which averaged about 229 lbs. each. This breaks all records we have heard of. He is noted as one of the best. stock raisers in this part. Mr. S. Paterson let the stonework of his new barn to Mr. Schram, of Orch ard. Herb McLean has gone to Stratford business College to take a six months’ course. He has proved himself an apt pupil in the public school and will no doubt acquit himself equally as well at College. A wood bee, quilting bee and dance at the home of Thomas Pollock on Friday gave wholesome pastime to the young people at the south of our division. while a load from the north spent a pleasant night with John Grashy of Glenelg Centre. _4__.â€" We must extend congratulations to our friend John Bradley on his hav ing captured the Wolfe he has so long leen pursuing. Of course he dosen’t get a bounty from the Gov- ernment same as ordinary wolf hunt- ers get. No such treasure can be got from either governments as he has captured and we heartily join all in this part in extending good wishes. It’s strange to think of a young fel- low like him capturing a Wolfe single handed, while there are older men in ‘ the same township that quake if they think they hear a wild at.

The onion is a vegetable of great an- tiquity. being found among the earliest of cultivated species. A kind of onion grown in Egypt 2,000 years and more ago was considered so excellent that it received divine honors. being worship- ed as a god. This was considered a good joke by the Romans of those days. who, as well as the Greeks, were ac- quainted with several varieties of on- ions. It is likely that the plant first grew in Persia or Afghanistan. Garlic has been raised in China for thousands of years, and the ancient Egyptians made great use of it. No picture of it has ever been found on the monuments, but this may be because the plant was considered unclean by the priests. Tclllng Time by the Porch. The oldest system by which men have told the time of day is sundials. There are sundials still in existence since long before the Christian era. In fact. they have been found in Egypt dating before the pharaohs. The In- dians and wild nations told the time by the position of the shadows of trees or mountains. The Chinese have carried the art of sundials to perfec- tion and even today use pocket sun- dlals instead of watches. One Chinese watchmaker has arranged his front porch in such a way the shadow of the posts tells the time by which to regu- late the watchesâ€"Ada Paterson in Pil- What a Journalist Is.

When Henry lV.’s little dog. Fanor, had been bitten by a big dog, supposed to be mad, it was dispatched to Dicppe in charge of a groom of the chamber. “pour etre mouille dans la mer,” and Mme. de Sevigne relates that some ladies of the court who had been bitten by a mad dog went there in 1671. It was, however, the Duchesse de Berry who ponularized Dieppe. She went there regularly from 1824 to 1830 and once took part in a really remark- able ceremony ot inauguration on the beach. While cannon thundered and hello pealed and bands played she pub- licly entered the water. led by the hand by the “royal medical inspector of the baths.” who was attired in even- ing dress with kid gloves.
