The Municipal Council of Markdale are thinking of erecting a combination grand and band stand on King Ed- ward park this summer, and the plan was befere the Council at its last meeting. The Mount Forest Rep. man is rais- ing a fuss because some fellow drove a wagon of dynamite through the main streets of that place. He says a jolt over a rock would start the stuff go- ing and “it’s enough to give one the chills to think about it.” Mount For- est is a sort of a chilly place, and as we all know it’s “on the rocks.” must admit the man with the explosives was somewhat careless, though how he’d kill anybody in a dead place is more than we can figure out. The \Valkerton howlkeepers have decided they can’t dole out booze any more for five and ten cents per glass. If you get feeling that way in Bruce’s County capital now it will cost you a dime or fifteen cents according to the kind of juice you use. The Clifford Express tells of a. man down that way who marketed sixty- tive dozen eggs from eighteen hens and had abundance for home use as well. kCut it out, Brer. Aitchison. How large are the fish in your 10- cality? Leave the hens till next winter. The Journal says Hepworth is just the right size town to settle down in and enjoy life and thst $10 will go as far as $25 in larger places. But then, who wants to save money-and be forced to live in Hepworth. The Toronto baseball team can beat the worldâ€"at sticking to last; place. ‘ Andy” Carnegie was in Toronto a week or so ago. ’Tis said he’s worried nigh to death because he can’t give his money away as fast as it accurnu- lates, but we don’t believe it. Per- haps it bothers him to think of the amount of Work he got out of his White slaves around Pittsburg, J ohns- town and Connellsville at 950 per day. Some of the business officials who two months ago were the high mucky mucks in Toronto, and with whom it was deemed a. favor for a. few minutes interview don’t seem so cocky since these investigators came in style. They’ve got more excuses than a school boy would have to keep out of a. trouncing he knew he deserved. “The C. L. A. District Committee issued their first draft of groups last Thursday, placing the Lornes in Inter- mediate series No. 3, with Arthur, Grand Valley. Fergus and Durham. It is not sure at time of writing, how- ever, that the Lornes will stay where they are put, as an opening in the Junior series with Fergus, Orangeâ€" ville and perhaps, Elora. is being con- sidered. It will be remembered that the Lornes played in the junior series last year, and held the championship not only of their district, but of North \Vestern Ontario in that series. This title they are inclined to try to hold with a home-brew team. Of course the junior series this year difiers from that of last year in being compassed about with an age limit which pre- vents players over 20 years of age from entering, and all that is causing hesi- tation in coming to a decision is the fact that a few older players in the town will be shut out if the Lornes decide to play junior. On the other The Mount Forest Rep’s sporting editor. under the heading " Inter- mediate or Junior Lacrosse ? ” has the following to say :â€" hand the greater number of players here are elegible as junior players, and, it is believed, a winning team of juniors could be placed in the field, whereas an intermediate team would have a hard struggle to keep a place against Durham. which is defying the C. LA. amateur clause and hiring professionals wherever they can get them; or against Fergus, the inter- mediate team of which place will be a combination of the older players of that town and Elora.” We’d like to know where he gets his information regarding his last state- ment.

LACROSSE. DURHAM UHRU‘N 1L1 1E has had the dumps in lacrosse matters and it gets worse as the season ad- vances. Cheer up. Mount Forest, don’t get blue. Durham has lost many a good player but is always turning out a few good ones to make up for it. We’ve certainly got our eyes open for good men, and at pres- ent our line-up is as good as in our lacrosse history. \Ve expect to make things hum this season. and go into the field with our ambitions turned to the highest pitch. Just come out of it. Don‘t sag. And if you find you can't put a team in the field, fur gond- Iless sake don’t hre buuqlwts of sour grapes this way and say we’re hiring [,n-oi'essiouals for we’re not. 00 Here’s what the Owen Sound Sun says: “It is reported that Durham 1a- crosse club is going to resurrect the famous long distance thrower, Barney Quinn. Con. Mari-in is bartending in Durham all ready for the season to open. \Vatch out for the Cement Town.” Hanover isn’t satisfied with the drafting of the O. L. A. and the Post man thinks being put in with South- ampton, \Valkerton, Tara and Har- riston is n. g. He claims Walkerton won’t play 0. L. A., and Harriston isn’t likely to, and he evidently is not satisfied with the remaining teams, Southampton and Tara. So far as Tara is concerned we would think it about right, though Southampton is a little out of the way. However. if it’s any more out of the way to Han- over than Grand Valley is to Durham, we fail to see it. We have advocated having teams consisting of Hanover, \Valkerton, Chesley, Tara and Dur- ham organizing and getting into a district together and would have done our best to forward the idea, but the other fellows didn’t take hold. and we can’t blame the C. L. A. for not look- ing out for us when we didn’t do it ourselves. But then, that’s only one side of the question. Perhaps Han- over doesn’t want to play with Dur- ham even at that. , Alex. Graham has gone to Markdale to fight for the Aberdeens this season, and they have secured a good manâ€"if he wants to be. Though he could have found a place with the Durhams this summer, he wasn‘t satisfied, and packed his box. Good-bye, old sport, and good luck. \Ve’ve got others, and our team isn’t gone up yet. Fared Sumptuously, and Invited a Cal- ler to Have a Bite. When Gibson saw the smoke curl- l ing up above the underbush that borders the road from the railway- station he deemed it his duty to find out what kind of fire it was that caused the smoke. As he crushed his Way through alders and sumac. an agreeabl smell of broiling ham met his nostrils; and on the Other side of the wall an unshaved person. who was also rather ragged and hat scrumpulously clean, was tending a large slice of ham. which was nicely balanced over some coals on two black twigs. A blackened tomato can adjusted on the edge of two bricks evidently contained coEee. and on an Open neWSpaper some sliced potatoes were Waiting their turn. A loaf of bread and a quart box of fine straw- berries reposed beside the potatoes. The tramp dropped the ham on the coals and seemed to meditate flight. "It’s all right,” said Gibson. “ch1: up your ham or you’ll burn it.” The tramp rescued the meat. and looked distinctly relieved. Gibson Sat down on a log. Gibson cleared the wall with a. bound. “Hello!” said he. “You’re ofi there.” said the tramp, genially. “It’sa late breakfast. I don't. ever can lunchâ€"unless I can get it.” “Well, your making up for day. There must baa. pound half of that. ham.” “I wish there was two?” said the tramp. fervently. ”There. I guess it’s about done now. “fill you set up and have a. bite?” "Much obliged,” said Gibscn. “but my dinner’s waiting for me at home. It looks good though. Who’s your butcher?” "You seem to be fixing for an early dinner,” he remarked. “I smoke my hams myself on my model farm,” replied the tramp, indi- scinctly, between bites. “I don’t know but'what it costs me more than it would to buy ’em; still I don’t grudge the extry expense.” “I see.” said Gibson. Do you raise your own potatoes, too?” “I raised these,” replied the tramp, dexterously spearing half a dozen slices on the point of his clasp knife and conveying them to his mouth. Gibson smiled. “Strawberries from your own garden?” he continued 1n the same Jocular vein. “Well, as to them berries. I wouldn’t. exactly say I growed ’em myself. I picked ’em though.” He winked ever his can of cofiee. “It’s' a good meal,” he continued. appreci ,3 atively. “There ain’t nothin’lack’ " only 9. smoke.” Gibson had in his waistcoat pocket a cigar which he regnrded as particu- larly fine. It wee the only one. and he had ment. to smoke it after his A TRAMP’S DINNER. 00 it to- and a own dinner. but he was seized With a. generous impulse, and presented it to the ts amp. The thought of the tramp’s enjoy ment of that meal was wnrh Gibson all through his own dinner. which happened to be boiled mutton. He almost wished he had accepted the tramp’s hospitable invitauon. “My dear,” he said to Mrs Gibson, “do you know what I’d like? Some broiled ham. my dearâ€"nicely broiled â€"with warmed-over potatoes; and I should like to top ofi with. some strawberries.” ”Thac’s just exactly what you will have {or breakfasc to-morrow morn- '9! ing. cried Mrs Gibson, delightly.
