Though the evidence showed there hat. been trouble between the de- ceased and his suit-in-law, no Sign of \‘iolepce or foul play had been disâ€" cmered. The post-mortem revealed a weakened condition of the heart, which was I‘tEglll'aitjnl as the immedi4 ate cause of death, and the suspect- eu‘l party or parties exonerated from all blame- It is well that the in- vestigation was made as it removes a stigma that othcwwisv remain. Mother Died in England. Mr. Joseph Buinford received a cablegram from his sister, Mrs. W. G. Lawrence, now in England, that their mother had died. and was bur- iectl there that. week. Mrs. Lawrence left here last month for the Old land in response to information that her mother was very ill and recovery doubtful. ' The police. searching for over- strength beer found that in a num- ber of instances the labels of bottles containing 2 per cent. beer were washed off the bottles. Customers, many of these tourists, were “wise” to the fact that certain places sold real beer. These places were visit- ed. and with secrecy the unsuspect- ing client, under cover and with much ceremony, was handed a hot- tle or alleged real beer, in reality only 2 per cent._. for which the drinker is charged 50 cents per bot- fie. The news that real beer was being sold spread like wildfire, and TOURISTS PAID STIPPLY FOR TWO PER CENT. BEER A According to a dispatch from Sar- nia, raids made last week at that place by the chief Of police and his aides on a number of places sell- ing soft drinks and 2 per. cent. beer proved that Barnum was right. Here’s another gross perversion of justice. A man who stole a co'I/‘net was sent to the penitentiary, despite the fact that he must have stolen it CORONER'S INQUEST SHOWED DEATH PROM NATURAL CAUSES Last week we referred to the death of Mr. Robert McClyment, of Dornoch and hinted that rumor caused sus- picion that led to a post-mortem and subsequently an inquest. The jurors were sworn in at the time of the post-mortem and the inquest adâ€" journed to Saturday at 10 o’clock, when evidence was taken before Coroner Hutton at Dornoch. The iurms new: 8: up Dargaxel, \Vil- Ham 0 Mara Dan 0 Mara, Theodore )Ianmrro“, \\ illizlm Smith, Herbert T ratford and Stewart. McGillivray. "Work For the Night is Coming”. was then sung by the audience, fol- lowed by a fine address on OddfeI- lowship by Bro. E. D. McClocklin. The Doxology and Benediction brought the meeting to a close when the members re-formed and marched back to the lodge room where votes of thanks were tendered the Band and the visiting brethren from Walkerton. A few brief addresses were made and the thirsty pedesâ€" trians indulged in orangeade, but no other refreshments. The. brethren on whose graves floral decorations were placed, with dates of death, are as follows: John Moodie, Nov. 16, 1879. Harry Kress, Aug. 5, 1879. J ohn McLean, Feb. 7, 1884. ' James McFarl-ane, June 26, 1897. Ben Warner, July 24, 1905. Dan. Campbell, May 27, 1906. George Wilson, Dec. 21, 1909. Wellington Fairman, Nov. 19, 1917. Arthur K. Smith, April 28, 1918. John Rose, July 22, 1921. At this juncture a committee of the brethren left the audience and placed baskets of geautiful floral dec- orations on the graves of the depart- ed brethren and on returning the program was continued, when all joined in singing, “Shall We Gather at the iRver.” Mr. McNeil] then read the 103rd Psalm after which Rev. Mr. Smith delivered a forceful and able address of a truly spiritual nature. On arrival at the cemetery the re- galiaed brethren formed a circle in the little grove and after a few pre- liminary remarks by Bro. J. A. Gra- ham, the Noble Grand, all joined in singing from the printed programs the old familiar hymn, “Abide With Me." This was followed by a most effective prayer by Mr. A. T. McNeill of Toronto, former president of the Woodstock Baptist College. r'l'he Oddfellows of Grey Lodge No. 169 held their decoration services on Sunday afternoon with gratifying results. The lodge here has a mem- bership of about 70, but/ of these many are in distant parts and un- able to join in such gatherings. At 2.30 a procession of about 60, includ- ing a number of visiting brethren from Walkerton, formed at the Lodgeroom and, led by the band aild marshalled by Bro. E. D. McClocklin, marched to the cemetery where the services were carried out in accord- ance with the pregram. ODDPBLLOWS’ DECORATION DAY result, huge profits have been LATEST FASHION CONVULSION HITS TEE SLEEVE Dispatches from Paris to the Brit- ish press still deal with fashions, de- Spite the fact that in this country the dictatorship of the French capi- tal is declining. But that is because Americans can make their own clothes, but did you ever see any made in England? The latest con- vulsion is said to have hit the sleeve. Sleeves are now tremendous in ex- tent, involving vast quantities of tmaterial. It is said that they have lgrown steadily wider, and last month they ran amuck altogether. Tudor sleeves, kimono sleeves, were left far behind. It is not only possible to make a whole dress from one sleeve, but a dress with a train. Sometimes, in the new tea gowns, the sleeve is. a train, trailing on the ground, with, the arm emerging somewhere amid-i ships. Such gowns are for afternoon. For evening wear, the sleeves may be dispensed with, or only one worn. A. white satin dress described by one astonished witness had a black slash dovm the bodice. a black tulle belt worn low like a coway’s gun-belt and fastened with a large jewel, and a small black sleeve on one side. It was just as “cute!” The other arm was protected from the weather by a jet bracelet- The effect must have been a good deal like that of a skirt that had been horribly mutilated in the wash. but had to be worn in an emergency. Fantasies in sleeves have been followed by some in skirts. The crisis that arose a few months back 'about the feminine equator, or waist line, appears to have been selved by setting it very much in the sputh. The waist is to be worn low. The latest skirts are said to be lower in the waist than any skirt can be and retain its skirt- l-y character. Sometimes there is a dip behind, over which the upper part balloons. giving the effect of a cape cut narrow at the bottom and gathered in by. its' wearer. Such skirts are fairly long and much do" - orated With beads and woollen em- broidery, dangling strings and per, haps a sporran.‘ Sashes are being used.

Canada’s union with the United States.’ “Canada sent her accredited rep- resentativ'es to the foreign capitals as a member of the British Common- wealth of nations. Canada, when the treaty of peace was to be signed at a free peoDIe to govern themselves belonged to Belgium as well as Can- ada. This declaration of words was registered and sealed by the costly â€"yea pricelessâ€"blood of Canada’s sons, who to the number of approx- imately half the' best she could breed, voluntarily faced civilization’s foe and to write a page of heroism scarcely surpassed in the annals of history. “Any man‘whorhas not heard that the Divine Right of Kings and illog- ical burdensome taxation which was answered by the colonists in a revo- lution a century and a half ago, is abandoned.

Canada has not made a ?011â€" tribution either by direct or indirect assessment for the maintenenca of the British navy, army, the royal household, or even of the king himâ€" selfâ€"not a cent. More than that, there is not enough power in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, there is not enough power in the British war office, in the admiralty, in the government, in the imperial parliament to remove a single dollar from the Canadian treasury, to remove a single son from a Canadian home for: any “ser- vice of any kind anywhere under the sun. Nor does Britain desire to ex- ercise that kind 01' power, even though she had it. “Canada has national independence and self-government within the Briâ€" tish commonwealth of nations, en- joying the right of a free peOple to govern themselves such 'as could not be surpassed anywhere in the world. “ ‘Canada is a nation and freedaim is her nationality,” said Sir Wilfrid Laurier at a meeting of dominion premiers in England. “Canada marched through half a century of heated, fierce, political, internal struggle, up to nationalhood through the British North America Act Of 1867. In and throng}: that Act it was published to tho parlia- ment of Britain and to the world that Canada would accept the right of a free people to govern thorn- selves. “Canada‘holds the most strategic position for Anglo-American un‘tv in the En gush-speaking world.

It contains extracts from an address recently given by Rev. C. J. McCombe, the noted evangelist, who took a prominent part a few years ago in the Moorefield camp- meeting. Mr. McCombe is at the present time pastor of the Central Methodist Church, Lansing, Mich.: THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Science Made Easy. A wealthy gentleman said to a young matron: “I am ashamedof my failure to keep abreast of modern science. Take the electric light, for instance, I haven’t the least idea how it works.” The young matron gave him a patronizing smile. “Why,” she isad, “it’s really very simple. You just press a button and the light comes onâ€"that’s all there is to do.” For three hours the auctioneer had tried to rouse his listeners to the prover pitch of enthusiasm. But- either the weather or the lunch had disagreed with them, and they simp- ly would not be reused. The sale was one of horses, and lot after lot went for low prices. At last the lowâ€"water mark was reached, when a sad and sorry animal was led into the ring. “New, gentlemen,” shout- ed the auctioneer, “what Offers for this lot? Will somebody start the bidding?” Then a voice came from somewhere in the middle of the crowd, “Two dollars." “Gentlemen! gentlemenE,” protested the auction- eer, tearfully, “the horse is alive!” A'N AUCTIONEBR’S VICISSITU’DES BEES STI‘NG AND DIE A bee loses its sting'and its life when it stings a person, because of the peculiar shape of the sting. It is usually a werking bee that stings humans, for, although the queen has a sting, she generally uses it upon rivals Only. The working bee’s sting is just a tube which carries the pois- on. The tube is fitted with two sharply-tootl‘ied minute saws, which are driven into the wound alternate- ly. If the. person who is being stung remains perfectly still the bee can withdraw its sting somewhat after the fashion of a corkscrewâ€"that is. by mOViIlg round in a circular direc- tion. In which case, of course, it lives to sting again. Usually, how- ever. the outraged human retaliates on the bee, which, driven away, per- force leax‘es its sting, tearing away aportion of the stomach to which it is attached. and so killing itself.

Long live the Dominion- of Canada and the United States of America!” "I know of nothing in the realm of Internationalism of importance equal to that. of our North American- ism where an imaginary line separ- ates, yet unites, these two great proâ€" gressive nationsâ€"-â€"While Canada acts as a link holding us to England.

But should our parents at- tempt io meet their personal obli- gations by handing over our home to their creditors, the same strength and force will be used against them as for them. “Canada during the first session of the League Of Nations, startled the world with rugged independence through her spokesman, my friend, the Honorable Newton Howell, who proved that when a" war was to be fought the British Commonwealth of nations was one, when a peace was to be accepted or a league was to be entered, that Commonwealth was not one, but six. ’“My American friend admits that there are a number of contingencies which might arise to obstruct such a settlement of England’s war in- debtedness by England handing over Canada to the United States. “Beyond Price” Versailles i'n 1919, had her pen in hand to sign for herself.
