What. came near being a. tragedy similar to that which cost. Joseph Lehman‘s life Was enacted during one of the recent. wild and cold nights in Guelph ToWnship. near the Qaarrie farm. It was late at night. just as the family were going to retire. that a team of horses were noticed in the drnft. whictm filled the road across the field from the house. The interes: in the watchers was aroused to see what. progress the be- lated traveller was making. They watched. but the horses made no headway. and it was decided that. the S eigh “as suowbouud. and that the driver must be in need of assistance A rescue parry started out into the night, and, on reaching the weigh. found the horses Stuck fasr. in we drift. and the driver asleep in :re back. The man, who praved to be 9. neighbor, was awakened and assisted to the house. Already the cold had begun to have sts efl'act and his ex- trz mities were slightly, but not. set iously frozenâ€"Guelph Weekly Mer- cury. Walkerton Fire 00.. which used tol be a volunteer company. is now a! paid company. Indeed they have been a paid company for some time past. but the pay was small. At Monday night’s meeting of the coun- cil, the pay was increased to 50:: an; hour, or fraction thereof. The con-1 dition was inserted limiting the; number of men to 2.5. It will thus be seen that every time the company are called out it will cost the town $12.50 at least. In viaw of this c05t, it follows that people before ringing the fire alarm should be sure that ’there is something more serious on {hand than a burning chimney.â€" { Telescope. John Allen. of Tnpelo. Miss., tells a. good one at the expense of nie townsmen. When a Yankee happen- ed along and while they were discus- sing the difference between the north and the south, the Mississippian observed: "Well. after all, as near as I can see. there isn’t. much difierence be tween us and you, except that we ' 977 reckon’ and you “guess "True," answered the Yankee: “but you mustn’t. forget that we ‘guess’ a blamed eight better than you ‘reckon’.” CHAMBERLAIN ’S COUGH WY A FAVORITE. “We prefer Chunberlain’s Cough Remedy to any ocher [or our chil- dren,” says Mr. L.

He must have judgement, patience and courage, these three. and one may aid without slighting the other two. the greatest of these is courage. So writes H. G. Hunt- ing in the Technical World Magazine. The eager eye of the camera goes everywhere nowadays, and the man who makes picture getting his bus- iness adopts no peaceful. unexciting pursuit. If he is under contract to a great new spaper or magazine he may be called upon to secure a picture of anything from a flashlight in the black depths of a metrOpolitan sewer to a portrait of the fairest white slave in aTurkish harem. He may he asked to “get” a female grizzly nursing her whelps in her mountain lair to illustrate some naturalist’s work at one end of the year, and be- fore the other end has come he may snap a shutter on the lip cf some smoking volcano’s crater. ling picture of a man or beast. in some extraordinary place or pOSe, do you ever snap to think where the photOgrapher was who made the neg arive or how he got there? That notorious wild cat or lynx that has been out in Redpath’s swamp for several winters and has been seen by many people time and again (in their minds) is an exploded myth. The cat that created the. yelps and yowls was asimple device! invented by some mischievous schooll boy. bv attaching a piece of smoorh1 and thinly shaved aid. to a whip he could make the most unearthly noises in the swamp at night. He did it first to frighten the school- master against Whom he had a grudge, and the teacher got so scared he would not a. wooing go. but went at the end of the term. The device was such a success that a curfew bell .was net a. candle to it. Nobody 'went out after dark and men it is stated used to go after the cows at i milking time on horsebackâ€"Harris- . ton Review. Ferguson was wending his uncer- tain way homeward, sorely troubled in his mind over the certain curtain lecmre he knew was in store for him and casting about for some means of’evading it. Suddenly a bright idea was evolved from his befuddled brain. He would slip in- to the house and get quietlv into bed without awakening his wife. Accordingly he srole gently up- stairs. carefully undressed outside the door and crept into bed, with his face toward the outside He mentally congramlated himself upon higfiuccess thus far and went to sleepi He then determined to arise very quietly, carry his clothes outside the door. dress there and go downstairs to bu iness without waiting for breakfast. He was successful in this, and. meeting the servant girl downstairs he said: “Eliza, you can tell your mistress I expecr. to be very busy to-day and therefore I didn’t. stay to have break- fast. with her this morning.” “Laws. sir!” said Eliza.. “Missis went. away yesterday morning to her mother’s and Said she wouldn’t be back till this evening.”â€"London Telegraph.

Indeed it is surprising how quickly the goods are disoosed of, and it, is here where the vonance of the whole business lies. Mr. Hyman is not only the Prince of 0 (1 Clothes. but he may also well be called the costumer to the dusky monarchs of Africa 'l‘ne goods we sanr. vim-odd in huge bails, each bail containing! from 200 no 250 articles.

Phey are eagerly bought up by ,native traders, who sell them in the Oriental bazar< From the bazars the v find their way into the far interior of the country, and explorers and travellers have often related how they have met a native king in Central Africdt Wearing a cosmme that put them in mind of a. Lifeguardsman’s uniform minus, perhaps. the belt and badly in need of a. little pipeclav, but nevertheless much prized by the owner. Explorers and travellers often call at the old clothes establishments and secure a quantity of showy wearing apparel. They find it makes ideal presents for native kings and chiefs. Said one well-known traveller to the prOprietor the other day: “There is nothing like a showy military coat to get a black king to allow you to take your party through his country.” "I have visited most of the great Oriental bazars where our cloching is sold.” said Mr. Hyman, “and I have watched with much amusement our goods being purchased by the natives. I have seen the blacks of Africa sol- emnly waiking about with European waisccoats buttoned up behind instead of in front, and even men WBal‘lng lalies’ costumes. I have seen enor- mously big fellow wearing garments that for the life of me I could not imagine how they managed to get into them. and am afraid when they itried to take them 05 some of the l Stitching must have given way.” Curiously enough. the showy cos tumes worn by the Lord Mayors of London do not find such a ready market abroad as the ordinary tunic of a private soldier. This is probably on account’of its price After his nomination the Lord Mayor has to purchase his official costumeâ€"a mag- nificent rigout of ,silk stockings, buckled boats, gold laced coat and cooked hatâ€"which costs about £60. At the end of his term of ofl‘ice he disposes of it to the second-hand dealer. The oflicial costumes worn by London’s Lord Mayors for the last twenty five years have been purchas ed by Mr. Hyman.
