AND teel Ti H Berlin Pianos tcbinery The Voracious “Father of His Conn- try” Goes Down and 011: Before ‘ Two Jersey Fishermen. John Enright and James Cameron. of Montclsir, two truthful followers of Izaak Walton, have returned from a fishing trip to Greenwood Lake Their stories of their experiences are thrilling. to say the least, and the Anunius Club vouches for it. ' According to Enright, who is an admirer of G. Washington, because of his cherry tree experience, he went with Cameron to a lake just over the State line recently to fish through the ice." Thev cut numer- ous holes through the frozen surface, set their lines each with. a live minnow for bait and waited in vain for a bite. Thoroughly disgusted. Enright determined to quit, but first decided to skate to a little cove in the lake shore on the western side. As he approached the spot he noticed that it was the entrance to the outlet of a small brook, the swift current of which was not yet, frozen. The ice in the cove itself was very thin. and looking through its transparent surface he could see that thousands of fish had taken refuge there. Enright says he was soon joined by Cameron, and another hole was chopped in the ice. Then they loweredaline. No sooner had the wriggling minnow struck the water. according to Enright, than there was arush of fish from all directions. The bait soon vanished but they hooked no fish. Another attempt ended in the same way and then Cameron Started as fast as he could skate for shore. In a moment. he returned with a piece of ice covered board he had found near an advertising exgn. This was plac~d through the hole in the ice SJ than one end of the slanting slippery plank resred on the bottom of the lake and the ether extended a foot or more abuve the surface. ”Thaw.” said Cameron, ‘dmp your bait invfront of that They can only see it from one direction, and when they rush they'll Strike the hotlrd and slide up it to the surface of the ice. Then all we’ll have'to do is to ple ’em up ” Euright 521 she followed instruc tions No sooner had the minnow gone beneath the water than he was S'rnck in the face by a five-pound pickerel, which came like a.

The basket was soon tilled and the men started for home. Enrlght says that when they left the lake, the fish. all kinds and sizes. were slid' up that board like a geyser.

When a man temporazily leaves his seat in a railway coach he does not necessarily forfeit his right to it even if no baggage or apparel is left to Show his occupancy. This is the decision of Mr. Ju31ice Riddell in a lawsuit brought by Albert Brazaan. a pr OSpeCtOl‘ of V nkleek Hill against :heC. P. R. arising out of a row in asmoker. Dec. 8th. 1906. He de- manded $1000 damages for being forced out of a seat by Conductor Alex. Bannerman. He says the Company is not com- gelled to furnish smoking accommo- dation any more than accommodation for curling the hair, playing bridge or shaving. He confesses. however. to a “secret admira'ion” for the men, who by making themselves disagree- able on such occasions, aid in bring- ing about our great reformsâ€"Mark- dale Standard. A party of men traveling in com- pany occupied several seats. One left for a short time. Brazean enter ed the car at St. Eugene and took the seat. under proteSt from the Other gentlemen of the party. He refused to give it up even though there were other vaCuut seats. and the condom- or, by the application of a Jlittle muscular energy, flarced him to do so His Lordship dismissed the case with COSIS, holding that. the conduct or is the masrer of his own train in regard to seating his passengers.

Miss Maggie McKechnie, a bright young lady of 20 years. daughter of Donald Moliechnie, of the 8th con.. Benrinck. died at the General Heepi- tal, Toronto, on Wednesday morning as the result of an Operation from appendicitis. The remains were brought home by her father, and were interred in the family plot at the Rocky Saugeen on Friday after noon. Rev. A. Leslie of Elmwood performed the last sad rites. A great deal of sympathy is felt for Mr. M6 Kechnie and family. as it is just a vear since Mrs. McKechnie died. â€" POSt. OWEN SOUND NOT THE ONLY Regardless of the number of ser- ious accidents which have occurred through children getting pinched while riding on loads of logs, the practice is altOgether too frequent in town this winter. Last Thursday a small boy was seen aetride a log with one leg between the one he was rid ing and a larger one. He was in imminent danger of getting his thigh nipped when fortunately some one on the street called for him to get 03. The rough road jolting the logs to- gether would undoubtedly have meant a crushed or broken thigh and apossibility of serious if not fatal injury. Parents ought to warn their children against the practise. while the police would be justified in inter- fering where they see this dangerous habit indulged in. There are oalto- gether too many little children run- ning at large on the busy main thoroughfaresâ€"Time“. WHAT IS WRONG? BRIGHT GIRL’S DEATH.

The horse referred to .is the same animal the“ Times made mention of some weeks ago as having gone' through the ice in the rear of the cemetery. and which Mr. Johnston was eventually obliged to shoot. 'Here the item stepped and if the irate citizen can be believed here the horse also stoppedâ€"for a time. As the people ofWalkerton get their ice above the dam the thought of a dead horse rocking in the billows was rather disquieting to those'with ten- der appetites. The threatened mag istrate notified Constable RJssell and‘ that officer in turn interviewed Mr. Johnsmn. At all events the horse was d'ragged out of the river and the 1 ice will probably be all the purer fort its absence. The Christian Scientists maintain that all sickness is the re- sult of imagination. and' if their‘ theory is contest, that horse promis- to play an interesting part in the community.
