This result is largely due to your wisdom and skill in guiding the af- fairs of the Society patiently, cauti- ously and economically so that now when you hand over the seals of It is the fence that has stood the test of time-etude the heaviest strainâ€"never sags-the standard the world over.

My Dear Mr. Gage,â€" I have much pleasure in enclosing herewith cheque for One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) from the Tudhope Carriage Company of Orillia, a. donation to the Free Hospital for Consumptives at Gravenhurst. Please acknowledge this to the Tudhopc Carriage Company in the usual way. I have n ritten to a. number of my friends, to try and get them interested in this good “ork. I hope to be able to send you further donations. I have written my friends a. personal letter, something similar to the following : “ Last week I paid a visit to the Free Hospital for Consump- tives at ‘ .ravenhurst. I met some of the management there, and promised to try and interest some of my friends in this work. Vs n are (glad to have the opportunity of publishing the following lotts‘r 1.0111 M r. Wm.

Any, however, who do visit them, are united in their commendation of the splendid appointments of the piece, and, best of all, of the real .joy and hope that is being brought? to many suffering 01108. There can be little doubt that theNational Sanitarium Association as h-uulicnppml in its great work for Consumptives in the fact that its two institutions in Muskoka are far away from any large centre of population. Few people have an opportunity to see for themselves the magnificent work that is being done. Wm. Thomson, Esq., of Orillia, Vice-President Standard Chemical Company of Toronto, Tells of a Visit to the Muskoka Free HOSpital for Consumptives. Sir Wm. R. J. GAGE, ESQ., Chairman Executive Committee National Sanitarium Association, Toronto, Ont. “ I might say there were 49 patients there last week, all poor people, most of them without a dollar in the world, and eufl'ering from the dreadful disease, Consumption. There are many sad stories, and 1 know I have thought a great deal about the work of the institution ever since my visit there. I do believe it isworthy of assistance, and we who have health and the necessaries of life should encourage this work along. “I understand the expenses lately have been double the income, and unless the management meet with more encourage- ment, I am afraid the work will have to be curtailed. I know you have many calls. but I do wish you would give this matter a. thought, and. if possible. assist. I have written to two or three confidentially. and how to be able to collect some more for this work. Should you not feel like contributing a. donation, remem- ber this request. and your reply is just between you and me, and strictly confidential. "' I might mention. to show that I have confidence in the work, I have already given a donation of $100.00 and two row boats to the Free Hospital this year, and intend to give another 8100.00 before the end of the year.” E BUSINESS MEN’S LETTER.

The late thaw made water more plentiful than heretofore. Some are hard OR for wood but we are not compelled to cut down our shade trees or fruit trees of any kind yet. It’s a pity your Corner Concern man is getting old and might be ne- cessitated to advertise for a wife as he erroneousely accuses us of doing. His reading faculties must be blurred: on account of age or something else when he applies our item on that subject to ourself. Surely he must have been in a state of somnolence and dreamed that he heard the cement whistle coming direct to his bedside. A man who advertises for a wife is always honest and if we mistake n0t the Corner Gander is old enough now to enter the state of matrimonial bliss ; and as he has so far been unv successful in picking out a helpmeet, we would strongly urge him to come out boldly and honestly with an ad.

I’d like to be a boy again, without a woe or care; With freckles scattered o’er my face, and hayseeds in my hair. I’d like to rise at four o’clock. and do a hundred chores; And cut the wood. and feed the hogs. and slam the stable doors; And herd the sheep and watch the bees and take the stock to drink; And teach the chickens how to swim, so that they would'not sink; And milk about a dozen cows, and bring in wood to burn; And stand out in the sun all day, and churn, and churn and churn; And wear my uncle’s cast oi! clothes. and walk two miles to school; And get a licking every day‘ for breaking some old rule; And then go home again at night, and do the chores once more, And milk the cows. and feed the hogs and ducks and geese galore; And then crawl wearily ugstairs to seek my little bed; And hear old Uncle Sammy say: That boy don’t earn his bread. I’d like to be a boy again a boy has so much fun; His life is just one round of mirth. from rise to set or sun; I guess there’s nothing pleasanter, than closing stable doors.
