On Wednesday morning, Police Ma- gistrate George Hudson sentenced| Howard Coughlin. a young man in his eighteenth year to one year’s impris- onment in the Provincial Central Prison. Constable P. J. Farrell took the boy to Guelph in the afternaon where he was handed over .to the Pro- Vincial Authorities. He will probably be placed on the new prison farm at Guelph, but of course this will be a. matter for the prison officials to de- cide upon. Coughlin was caught red-handed in the act of pilfe ring the cash register in the drug store of A. W. Buschlen by Constable P. J. Farrell and was imme- diately taken into custody. Mr. Far- rell, it seems, has been keeping tab on Coughlin for some time. He noted during the evening that he was look- ing about the drug-storg and as J Mr. Buschlen wasnt of tpwn, the constable became supicious that. 'the boy was about to aid the store.

No doubt ynu have often heard one say to another. when he is very much pleased: “You are a brick, old fellow !” ' Many, many years ago a famous king sent an ambassador to another famous king. ThP ambassador was much surprised to find that the king whom he was visitinghad no walls around his city. In those days, of course, in order to keep out enemies. nearly every city was surrounded by stxong and high walls. So the sur zygised ambassador said to the kings‘ by. you have no walls for the city “We have,” said the king. “Whe1-,e whexe. 9 asked the whims. sadoranure surprised than ever. The king then pointed to his large army, which was not; far away, and said with a smile: "There are the walls of my city. Every man you see is a brick I” The king meant that an enemy would have to defeat these soldners before they~that is the enemyâ€"could enter the city.
