Ottawa. was sent from his Shoal-din pluce bean” he did duty at it!“ Bo ' glam strike all. George Brown and Chas. Gilchrist. of St. Vincent. had coca-ion to visit Meaford on Wednesday last, and while on their way home they appear to have been suddenly seized with a longing for a fowl supper. In order to appease the relentless cravings of the inner man, they halted at the farm of Mr. Wm. Anning, on the 4th line, and Brown made tracks for the hen coop. He succeeded in securing three large geese and cut their heads 03, but instead of returning to the rig he headed aimlessly through the fields. Like Lucy Gray, he wandered up and down, hither and thither. un- til he became tired of his burden, and then deposited two of the fowl in the corner of the fence. With one goose over his shoulder, George managed to reach his companion in waiting, and together they proceeded to the? home of Gilchrist. It would seem1 that they were not altogether satis-j fied with the haul. and after a short consultation the two men started out in search of the fowl Brown had left in the fence. while a brother of Gil- christ agreed to cook the lone goosel during their absence. Fortune does: nor always favor the brave, at leaStl it didn't in this case. for although; they Spent several hours out in the; stilly night, looking for the mislaidi geese. their efforts proved in vain.( Not undaunted. they again retraced; their Steps to Mr Anning’s coop and l relieved it of six fat chickens. They then returned to the house in which Gilchrist reigns as King of the castle, ' and partook of a spread of goose meat fit for the gods to feast on. How- ever. it’s a long lane that has no turning. and next morning when Farmer Anning discovered what had happened, he at once began to get busy Carefully tracing the foot- prints in the anw, he soon satisfied himself as to the guilty parties. and’ proceeded to town and enlisted the services of Chief Owens. who. armed with the necessary authority, at once proceeded to the Gilchrist abode. Of course the men indignantly denied having been near the Anning farm. and" volunteered to give the oficer of the law every assistance in searching the place. This display of willing- ness on their part made the Chief su- spicious, or in other words he smelt a rat, and prosecuted. his search with greater viligence than ever. After much ramsacking. climbing and dig. l ging around, the Chief at last located: the stolen fowl snugly stored away in the straw mow. all dressed and ready for the pot. He placed Brown under arrest and left summons for the Gilchrist brothers to appear on Friday night when a sitting of the Supreme Court of Meaford would be held. Justice Hamill,Cook and John- ston presided. The case was not long , than out. however, as the three men pleaded guilty, and were each guessed $14.85 for their night’s out-p me They paid up and returned1 home sadder but wiser men.

The fat her of Andrew Carnegie. :though he toiled early and late as a damask weaver at Dumfermilin was 'barelv able to supply the humblest of necessities for his small family; and ; when steam looms came to supplant hand weaving he was compelled to . sell his looms and his few Sticks of furniture and take his boys to Amer- .ica. where he found employment as a weaver in one of the cotton factories lof Allegheny City, and where one of : his sons. little - though he dreamt it, } was to amass one of the most colossal 3 fortunes the world has ever known. l The father of J. D. Rockfeller, iwhose wealth to day is said to be at least double that of even Mr. Car- :negie, cultivated a few barren acres in TiOga County. New York. and ad- fded a little to the family exchequer (scanty enough at best) by sending l out hisbays to hoe and plow and bush ;corn for neighboring farmers. W. EA. Clark, the “copper king” of Mont- lana, whose fortune IS variously esti I mated from $40, 000, 000 to fabulous 'figures (some even credit him with 7 an income of $30 000 a da3 ), is the _ son of a small Pennsylvania farmer. :‘who probably never cleared $500 in Eany single year of his life. and for f whom the future millionaire did the ‘ hardest of farm labor until years after he had reached manhood. I DIET NOT THE WHOLE THING. George Westinghouse. whose air brake has yielded such a golden har- veSt. was the son of'a mechanical engineer in a small way of business. and John W. Mackay, the “silver king.” was the son of a destitute Irishman who emigrated to Ameriaa with his family in search of fortune and after two years of terrible Strug- gle died leaving a pennilees widow to support herself and her young children as best she could. The father of \V. S. Stratton, the Colorado gold king, was a small boat builder at Jefiersouville. Ind., with so many children and a purse so ill filled that he was compelled to take his son away from school at 14 to ap- prentice him as a carpenter. Commodore Vanderbuilt, founder of one of the wealthiest families in the world, was cradled in the direst poverty. and between the ages of 6 and 16 earned his own living by per- forming any odd jobs that came his way, from selling newspapers and holding horses to farm labcr and porter’s work; and Jay Gould, who accumulated a fortune of $60.000,000 before he died at the age of 58, was the son of a struggling farmer. who found so much use for his son’s ser- v ces that he practically received no schooling at all. Sir Hiram Maxim. the millionaire inventor, had for his father a small miller. whose business was so un- profitable that his son had to eke out the family income by farm work and wood-turning before. at the age of 14 he was apprenticed to a coachmaker at East. Corinth. It is an intereSting and instructive fact that at least four out of five of American molthillionaires are sons of men who in their most flourishing days, probably never knew what it was to enjoy an income of $15 a week; indeed to the majority of them such a modest revenue would have seemed riches. .

RHEUMATISM ALMOST KILLED The town of Owen Sound has long coveted the power which might be produced at Eugenia. and it is re- ported that engineers are now pre- paring plans of a plant to supply this Georgian Bay port- with electricity from Eugenia. One of the schemes under discussion resembles on a smaller scale the engineering feat that is nearing completion at Van- couver. It consists of a tunnel through the hill rising above the left of the falls. by which water would be diverted to the clifi on the other side of the hill. where there would be a drop of some three hundred feet. This would be the end of a picture- sque piece of scenery, but who will bewail the little Eugenia Falls while the mighty Niagara is threatened with a similar fate.-â€"â€"Globe. Following the surveyors, the set- tlers started to take possession of the district. and as early as 1862 the water power began to be utilized. . A mill dam was built above the falls, thus depriving them of some of their supply. Later another mill-dam was erected. and a few years ago an elec- tric plant for lighting the Villages of Eugenia and Flesherton still further curtailed the flow of water. These “ miners” diSpersed to their former occupations, and the next workers to find employment at the falls were the Government surveyors. Their labor was hard and exacting, but they were conscientious men, and performed their duty to the letter. Their instructions were to survey a road every mile and a quarter. Ac cordingly when they came to the falls. as they found that it was the right place, thev demerked the boundries for a road across the brink of the chasm, up the steep hill beyond and down the cliff on the other side of it. a sheer drop of four hundred feet! Of course no one ever attemp- ted to drive over such a route as this. but the falls thus became and still remain the property of the township. They hoped to have the treasure to themselves, but somehow the story leaked out, and in a day or two hun- dreds of people from the more settled parts along the Toronto and Syden- ham road were encamped in the neighborhood of the falls. Thev worked with pick and shovel, and were armed with revolvers and bowie knives, as in the palmy days of Cali- fornia and Australia. An old miner who happened to be living near Shel- burne at the time was consulted and when informed that the gold was situated in fissures of limestone, shook his head for gold and limestone are not found together His conclu sions, however, were scouted by the treasure-seekers. A sample of the “ore” was sent to Toronto to be as- sayed. Communications in those times. before even the “ narrow gauge” was heard of. were slow, and ere the report confirming the old miner’s Opinion could arrive the crowd of would-be 201d kings was considerably augmented. and there was much disappointment when they were at last convinced, One man alone made money out of this bon- anza. During the fever be sold a sack of the stud to a neighbor for five dollars. The first white man to cast eyes on the Falls of Eugenia and the beauti- ful scenery of rock and clifi around it was a hunter and trapper named Browntree. During the year 1850 he one day wandered from his home on the Toronto and Sydenham road rather farther than was his wont, in pursuit of a deer. The stag eluded him, but he was attracted by the peculiar vibration and rumbling in the ground, and, following it up, came upon the Falls of Eugenia. He told a friend of his discovery on his return home, and afterwards took him to see it. They gazed upon the scene tor a while. and then fell to minutely examining the rock around. They noticed in the crannies of the limesmne a yellowish substance. which they took for gold. Brown- tree swore his companion to secrecy. and they went back to obtain snpplies for a mining camp. Situated about the centre of Grey county, 05 the track of the regular tourist, thoughjustly popular among the residents of the vicinity twenty miles around, are the beautiful Falls of Eugenia. They form a pretty lit- tle cataract, Where the water foams and Sparkles down a sheer drop of eighty feet. As they are now threat- ened with extinction, it may bein~ teresting to the lover of Nature to read the simple story of the Falls. Amid their native greenwood in the virgin forest, the Fall of Eugenia for centuries roared and foamed in soli. tude. or visited only at times by the roving redskins. In those days it was a glorious cataract. with its rush of glittering water covering the bed of the stream above, and making the earth tremble at a distance as it plunged to the seething rapids below.
