The story as it floated around to The Chronicle office is. in bz‘iul‘ : The young Glenelg man, a lad or! about 19 years of age. came to town on Wednesday of last week driving a horse reputed to be worth around $115. Whether or not he was look- mg for a trade we know not, but anyway, he traded. The beast he received in exchange for his $115l cayuse is said to have been a good-’ looking animal; in fact. is was a! real hum-(linger. When he hitched} it. up. he found that the truth had: not half been told. It was two hum-i (lingers. and then some. Anyway. he. found the beast too wild for him! when in harness. though peaceablel enough unhitched. and made anotherl swap with another fellow for an em? tirely different stamp of horse. pay-l mg, we are told, $10 to boot. After! coming up town with the proceeds! of the second trade. the young lad is} said to have repented his action in: parting with the proceeds of Exhibitl “A“ as it were and went hack to re-i cover the animal that was in the' first place too wild for him. In other words. he 'thought he ‘had made a mistake: he could handle the wild one, after all. There seem- ed no difficulty in negotiating deal No. :5. [in which he recovered his second horse of the day by an addi- tional paying of $5. Hitching the animal up again, it didn't take the young lad long to learn that his first conjecture was correct; the animal was too wild for him. Another good samaritan was visited and, for the paltry sum of $20. for which he gave a promissory note. the fourth deal of the day was negotiated, and the young lad. we are told, \received ,a horse of the hall-rack variety.â€"-th.at is. one that you could hang your hat on any time any place any where. The evidence. as we have heard it, confirms us in our opinion that. Bar- num was' murh too modest when he said that. thel‘w is a fool born every minute. He didn't. figure high enough. It is said. too. that. the, horse traded in the first place has not. been fully paid for. but as to that we. know nothing. \\'e do know, however, that there was some (all husiling around town for a. few days afterwards hy 'the principals and for a time it looked as though legal action to recover would be taken on the ground that the young man who was mulcted was a minor and could not legally make :2 deal.

S. JUNIORS Local Boy lay Catch Place On Past- Travelling Sextet Prom Scenic City Erben Elvidge was in Owen Sound Thursday of last week trying out with the Owen Sound Greys, and played against the crack K. S. Tor- onto team in an exhibition fixture on Thursday evening in which the Owen Sound bunch wiped the ice clean with the Queen City outfit and won by a large score. Commenting on Elvidge’s work, the Sun-Times of Friday says : “Elvidge, the Durham: boy, made his first appearance at right wing. He showed well during the time he was on, although not yet into the swing of the team. He carries a good right hand shot and looks likely to make his place." i This year Owen Sound‘s crack Junior O.HA. team has- been defeat- ing everything that has come against them and are picked as contenders for the 1924 junior title. With El- vidge on the line-up, Durham will have more than a passing interest in the series. There’s one thing about the local boy, anyway. Should he ratch a place on the i’.)wen Sound team, he will do his best at all times. He is somewhat different from a lot of athletes in. that he is not so tem- peramental as many and, liking the grime. does not have to be coaxed to gut out and do his bit. MRS.

The monthly meeting of the W0- men’s Institute was held at the home of Mrs. Philip Lawrence on Thurs- day afternoon with a good attendâ€" ance present. The chief item of business was the arrangements for the "March meeting, which usually is of a social character. This year it was decidâ€" ed to secure Mrs. Pankhurst for an address on the evening of March 6. A committee was "appointed to pe- tition the Town Council to enforce the laws re keeping children 011' the street after 9 o‘clock p.m., and the sale of cgarettes to minors. A donation was voted the Public School Board for improvements. Business finished, Rev. J. H. Whea- len was called upon and gave' an in- teresting address on “The Growth and Development of the English Lan- guage,” showing how the British people had enriched their language from every conquest of their coun- try, every race with which they came in contact. every invention in. science, and in fact. every’event in. their history. ' The choir gave a couple of good'ses lections from Southern melodies. Miss A. Weir gave an instructive paper on “Hindrances to Physical Growth.” Quoting from. several medâ€"- ical authorities, she summed up'the chief hindrances as : improper food, insufficient sleep or exercise, aden- oids, diseased tonsils/serious illness and. last but not least, cigarettes. The duet by Mesdames Mchae and Knechtel was a number everyone enjoyed. After the singing of the National Anthem, M13 Lawrnnce served. a dainty lunch.

The hall, instead-of! being filled to capacity as it should have been, was only about half filled and it is scarcely probable that the A‘id will needmuch time to count the profits from the venture. However, it was a bad week for counter atâ€" t1 actions, and the hockey match last night doubtless deterred many from going to the concert who otherwise would have done so. Good ng'ram Listened. To in Hall On Tuesday Evening. - As an entertainer, Miss Pearl Newâ€" ton kept her audience in a continual round of laughter in her lighter numbr-rs, and also showed consider- able ability in her heavier ofi‘erings.

She posses- ses a good voice, a pleasing manner on the stage, and isjecoming one of Durham’s popular entertainers. This is her second apeparance on a local platform. Miss McCrae, accompanist, proved herself a gifted pianist and contrib- uted in no small manner to the suc- cess ofthe entertainment.

Listewel scored the only goal in the first period, but this was of a; rather fluky nature, and was accounted for, we think, by the tact that the local kids were a little-nervous at the {aceâ€"off; In the second. period, however, they dug into- the Listowel bunch and kept after-them: like a nest 9f hornets all evening, breaking up their combinaâ€" tions time after time, and. back- checking like fiends till the gong rang.
