A well loved priest of San Fran- cisco tells with many a chuckle of an argument among several sailors that he overheard in the aviary in Golden Gate Park. They were debating as to the family connections of a certain bird. One said that it was a Skylark and the other insisted that it -was not. Finally the first sailor walked over to Father Collins and asked his opinion. Father Collins said that the bird undoubtedly was a skylark. The sailor went back to his com- panions, elated over his triumph. "Didn’t. I tell you so?” The holy father says it’s a. skylsrk.” “Maybe,” said one of the others, not yet ready to yield, “he doesn’t know any more about it. than we do.” “The deuce he doesn’t!” exclaimed the first. “Ain’t he a. sky pilot?” B. F. Croker, Esq.. now 84 years of age. and for twenty years Justice of the Peace at Martinsburg, Iowa, says: “I am terribly aflicted with sciatica rheumatism in my left arm and right hip.

How to Remedy Much of the Suffer- ing in Durham. Mr. Arch. McCuaig. is to have the threshing outfit some day soon, as he has a. lot of oats to thrash yet. REMOVE THE CAUSE. There is hardly a. family in Durham where there are not one or more members who sufler from the efiects of a weak stomach. It may he that this occurs only after eating some food that does not agree, or because of a supper late at night; or it may be that the stomach is so weak that scarcely any food can be eaten without pain add distress. The only way to treat a condition of this kind successfully is with Mi o-na. It removes the cause of indi- gestion, weakness of the muscles of the stomach and bowels, and restores the whole digestive syStem to health and strength so that it takes care of all the food that is eaten. When the stomach is weak, indi- gestion is followed by flatulence diz- ziness, headache, ssleeplessness and many other disagreeable symptoms. The one remedy that can be absolute- ly relied upon to cure this condition is Mi-oma, for this removes the cause of the sufiering, the weakness of the stomach and intestinal tract and re- stores health so that all food is easily digested without pain or sufiering. Get well and strong by using Mi- o-na tablets. Take the remedy at first symptoms of indigestion. when you can be cured easily with a few doses. However, no case of stomach trouble is too severe or chronic for Mi o-na to overcome. Mi-o-na is sold by druggists every- where for 50 cents. and we positively guarantee to refund money should you purchase a box and be dissatis fied with results Write for free sample addressing Booth’s Mi-o-na.

I GREY COUNTY’S “GRAND OLD MAN. To most of us the hardships endur- ed by the early settlers of Canada are a blank but when fortune favors us, and we meet with a man who has battled the storms of half a century or more of Canadian life. a consider- able portion of which is fraught with danger and pr-ivatiou, always allies in the settlement of any new coun- try, who among us does not feel like bowing in respect to the persons who have successfully combatted them. and who an a great measure are reSponsible for the enviable position of the Dominion of Canada to day. Such a. person is Mr. James Edge, of this place. Born in Cullenthra, county ’Wicklow, Ireland, en Jaquery 95.1823, he has just celebrated his eighty-fifth birthday. and, with his estimable wife, is still hale and hear» ty, living on the homeSIead he hewed for himself out of the forest over sixty years ago. In the year 1844. at the age of 21, in company with his parents, Robert Edge and Mary Ann Neseum, he emio grated to this country, settling on the Garafraxa road. four miles north, near the Rocky Saugeen. The coun- try was then very sparsely settled. and life was a hard one. but, with a determination not to be defeated. he stuck to his task. and now. in his old age. lives to enjoy the fruits of his early labors, honored and respected by all who know him. In the Spring of 1845 he went to Milton. making the journey in the Style of the day. on foot. and a ride sometimes, if lucky. and engaged as a harvest hand. While here his first great sorrow was experienced; the death of his mother, which occurred on the first day he labored in that then far away country, and about which he was ignorant until his re- turn home the following fall. In the year 1846 he settled on the farm on which he now resides. and two years later married Miss Maria Davis. who was born at Stonehouse, near Quebec, on Augusc 8, 1828, and at 20 years of age came to Glenelg. settling near the home of her future husband To this union were born ten children, five of whom are living THE PRESS. THE PUBLIC AND THE PARTIES. The meeting in Toronto last week of the Canadian Press ASsociation gave distinct emphasis to the grow- ing sense of responsibility to the public which dominates and directs the Press of Canada. To the public rather than to the political parties is that responsibility felt. More than ever before the party news papers Stand for independence within party lines. They are loyal to what is essential in historic Liberalism or historic Conservatism, but the in- creasing determination they resolve not to be dragged nolens volens 1n the train of their party or to dance attendance on any group of men who for the moment chance to be promi- nent or busy in the aflairs of this of that party organization. If they are not consulted by the leaders and is they are not admitted to the caucur they decline to have their approval taken for granted. If they approve of a policy or support a line of action it is because it carries their judge- ment as being in the main in the public interest and consistent with the party’s beSt traditions. From the public point of view this independence in party journalism is a hopeful sign. The modern drift of party leadership is set so steadily in the direction of autocracy, and the caucus so frequently kills freedom of discussion and independence of judge- ment on the floor of the House, that it becomes the more necessary for the Press of the parties to claim and to exercise the rights of free Speech within party lines, if democracy itself is not to be strangled in the very home of free institutions. For the Press itself this attitude of self-respecting independence is necessary if it is to draw to its ser- vice men of intelligence and force. The money rewards of neWSpaper work do not compensate for the drudgery it involves. It would be intolerable had it not other attrac- tions than those of the salary list. But those opportunities for large public service are deStroyed the moment a journal betrays what it feels to be mere short-sighted party Mr. and Mrs. James Edge â€"Mrs. Jopp and Mrs. W. Davis. of Manitoba; Mrs. \V. Ritchie, Edge Hill; Mrs. W. Scarf, of Aberdeen. and William, the only son, on the homestead Their golden wedding, celebrated nearly ten years ago, was one of the most joyous afl’airs ever seen in this locality, and of the many present none putmore heart into the festivio ties than the venerable couple them- selves. Though Mr. and Mrs. Edge had decided to let the anniversary of their fiftieth year of married life pass quietly by. not so with their friends and neighbors. These worked silent- ly and alone. and on the evening of December 8, 1898, surprised the genial couple by assembling at their home and presenting them with a handsome quadruple-plated silver tea service, as a small recognition of the esteem in which they were held. Mr. Edge was for eight years in charge of the Edge Mills here. and is now agent forthe Edge estates. For several years he sat as councillor, also serving as collector, and for fourteen consecutive years was reeve of Glenely, till his defeat by the late J. H. Hunter. in 1874. He was then engaged for the task of valuating Grey county, which task he accepted on the condition that he name his own colleague . These were the late Thomas gamey. of Osprey, and James Graham. of Syd- enham. The valuating. thongh a. most dificult undertaking. was per- formed in a manner satisfactory to all. A Conservative in politics, he has been a staunch supporter of right, and has done much to further the success of the party in this riding. Though on several occasions pressed to allow his name to go for nomina- tion. he has respectfully. though firmly, refused, preferring the quiet of home life to-political honors.‘ The following year was when he was appointed treasurer, a position he held for 26 years, and one be dis- charged most faithfully and honor. ably. For nearly 50 years he was presi- dent of the South Grey Agricultural Society, an orginization that owes its success very largely to his indefatigable efforts and business ability. Mr. Edge is also a justice of the peace, and during the days of the Grange Order dispensed goods for that organization to the amount of over $3,000 annually. As postmaster for over 25 years he has always been an efficient and obliging oficial. a statement With which all who lift their mail from the post office at Edge Hill, four miles from here, will acquiesce. With such a record. why should Durhamites not feel proud of their pioneer, who. to day, deSpite his four score and five years. three score of which have been spent in public life. Stands unblemished by any deed of wrongdoing; who is just as jovial. good-natured and willing to lend a helping hand to some mortal in dis- tress as in days gone by? Surely we have a right to call him the “Grand Old Man” of Grey County. expediency. The Press is too big to be the slave of the political oppor- tunist. It was designed for larger service and unless it is true to itself and to its own best ideals it will for- feit at the last even the poor ends of money returns and party influence for which it sells its soul. The pub- lic first, and the party only as a means to public endsâ€"this is the Sphere of service in which the. Press can both save itself and minister to the deepest needs of the political party with which it is allied.-â€"Tor- onto Globe. (Calgary Eye Opener.) When Mr. Crossley was holding forth down in Midnapore on the evils of drink he had two glasses on the table. one containing water and the other whiskey. He took a worm from a tin cannister and put it first into the tumbler of water, where it wriggled round in great style. He then took the worm out of the water and put it into the whiskey, where it immediately died. “Now. then, dear friends, you see what the whiskey has done to this poor worm, it has killed it, and it will do the same in course of time to anyone here who is in the habit of drinking whiskey.” At this part of the discourse Mr. P. J. McGonigle. the eminent jour. nalist and horse thief rose up in the audience and asked the evangelist whose blend of whiskey he had been using? Mr. Crossley looked at the empty bottle and said: “It is John Jamieson’s blend.” ,“By gum.” exclaimed McGonigle, “I must lay in a case of'that tonight. I’ve been troubled with worms, for Two commercial travellers were comparing notes. “I have been out three weeks,” said the first, “and have only got four orders.” “That beats me.” said the other; “I have been out four weeks and have only got one order, and that’s from the firm to come home."
