The general yearly exodus of young men from the east every spring, has a telling effect upon the character of those who are left. Many who remain behind become dissatisfied with their Jot, and once a person is out of bar- mony with his position in life, he be- comes careless and indifferent, and consequently to a large extent useless. Nothing but the \Vest will satisfy them, and contrary to the general expectation ut many who looked upon the “discontents” as useless, a short association with the progressive busi- ness spirit of the westerner inspires the dullard to greater energy, and strange as it may appear, he soon he- comes an active producer like those with whom he. associates. \Vhere people are surrounded by push and energy. they are. stupid indeed if they don’t catch a little of the same spirit.

In regard to the extension of the telephone, the matter is now being discussed at Ottawa, There isa grow- ing feeling that the telephone and telegraph are kindred utilities with the postal service, and that all should be placed under government control. Sir Wm. Muloch, Postmaster-General who takes a leading part in the move- ment, is in favor of neutralizing the telephone system, placing it under government and municipal control and having it so extended that every home will be provided with a phone. In the rural districts his opinion is that the chief need is to communicate with neighbors and with the market town rather than with long-distance ser- vice. and that this might be accom- plished by a system of automatic teleplmnes. whereby a dozen or more sulmeribers could be. served without the llltt‘l'Vt ntion of an exchange. Mr. McLean, who has long been an ade cute of public ownership of public utilities, agreed with Mr. Muloch, and would advocate thesysteln being vest- ed in the Post Office, and suggested that the postoflice should he a great centre for postal, telegraph, telephone and similar business. A St. Thomas man committed sui- cide the other day because of despon- dency through a bank failure. This was one of a large class who wasn’t satisfiedto "make haste slowly” and get rich honestly, and the fate of many overtook him in his hasteoto-get-rieh mano-uvres. He was in the big finan- cial crash that took place there a couple of years ago, being led into the trap with the expectation of getting higher interests on his deposits than the regular chartered institutions could all’ord to offer. Like all other gambling speculations, the only one that's sure of the pot is the fellow that controls the wheel. The writer of this paragraph isa’t at all round shoulder- en through an extra weight 'hf relig- ion, hut it seems exceedingly strange sometimes to witness the strange actions of professedly good men. The man who gets in too big a hurry to get rich isn’t always innocent, and the religion that makes a noise in the prayer meeting, and afterwards leads the professor to a hen roost, seems to be mighty poor stuff, yet there's some of it lying round. Sir \Vilfred Lam-ier has come down from his high perch on the Autonomy Bill, hut notwithstanding his conces- sions which relate chiefly to school matters, his changes are not satisfact- ory. Not only the school clause, but the whole Bill has been objected by Funnier Haulton, who was even con- sulted as to ths framing of it. A most enjoyable evening was spent in the home of Mr Jas. Mc- Laughlan on Tuesday night.by about ninety invited guests, who enjoyed themselves till their hearts content. Dancing music was supplied by Messrs. Gordon Lawrence and Mc- Arthur. The time seems to be fast coming when the lady on the farm will be in a position to call up the nearest butcher, baker, grocer or dry goods man and“ have the goods delivered at her own door. Telephones are being run now in several places through the country. and barring accidents they will prove a great convenience to .users in rural districts. Only a short time ago, -a private line was completed from Mark- dale to Kimberley, a distance of about ten miles. This is a joint stock con- cern. and the money was subscribed by farmers along the route. It is purer private, having no connection whatever with the Bell Company, in fact some of the subscribers entered only on condition that the Bell people would have nothing to do with it. )[rs. her save 193: Allan is recovering from illness of last.

Corner Concerns. >‘0..- least they are determined that the man who holds the position must do his honest duty. They won’t listen to reasoning. that license holders are hard pressed ' y means of high licence and should have leniency shown them on account of it. They claim cut down the license if too high to be honestly lived by. but by all means have the liquor law observed as strict ly as all other laws. and for an in- spector to comprirm’se for a few do] lars for irregularities is merely mak- ing higher license and forcing further violation of the law he is appointed to have kept. Mr. Jae. Eden sold his farm near Lumnsden to Mr. Archie Little. who has a brother on the adjoining farm Jim will also go West in a couple of weeks and try other prospects. Mrs Pollock moved from the school residence on Friday to live with her son Tom of Proton Station. Your Henry’s Corners man asks what attracts one of young men back around the Lake. He is enjoying his vacation now. so we presume ; he is fishing or at least fixing meshes that will yield him a nice catch some day.

Spring is at Hand Brother of Mr. J. Kelly, of the Stand- ard Bank. passes away and- denly at Omaha, Neb. The following important item ap- peared in The Omaha Evening Bee: Dr. Jas. A.

He was born in Can- ada, and educated at the McGill univer- sity, Montreal. lie eame to South Omaha in September, 1887, and for the past seventeen years has been at the head of the profession in this city. He is a brother of Mr. Thomas Kelly and aside from him has no relative in the state. He vas never married. Per- sonally, Dr. Kelly was a man of gen- erous impulses, loyal and warm-heart- ed to his friends, of whom there were many. He was recognized as a skilled surgeon and physician, and for many years heenjoyed an extensive practice. The deceased. was a member of the local aerie of Eagles and also a mem- ber of one of the local lodges of the Modern Workmen of America. He was of a rather tactiturn nature, re- tiring in disposition, but a charming conversationlist and an entertaining companion. He was little devoted to society or social affairs.
