It will pay you. tf There can be. no question that there is a legal tangle here if the driver of the buggy tries to collect damages. Drivers of motor cars generally have plenty of trouble spotting buggies without tail lights at night. and it hardly seems fair that they should also be required to pay damages when they demolish one that is hidden behind a motor with glaring headlights. The question now arises: Who is to blame for the accident, and who will have to pay the damages? Should the man in the standing car have "dimmed" his lights, or, was the driver of the horse-drawn vehi- ele somewhat negligent fOr stOpping his conveyance so that it was im- possible t'or the driver- of an ap- proaching car to see it? Or, again, is the. whole blame to rest on Mr. Blyth? ll sm‘ms that. :1 11111111114. travelling in ”11' nmmsitt‘ direction in that lakvn by Blyth was stomml 0n the 111ml and H111 man with the llOl‘a‘t‘ aml buggx hanl stuppml to talk tn him.

Sunday Scene of Annual Flower ,.Day Ceremony 'in Which Children Had Full Charge The Methodist church service last Sunday morning was entirely in charge of the children, who went through the\whole of the annual flower-day service without a hitch an'd‘with much credit to themselves. The church was beautifully decor- ated for the occasion with flowers and potted ferns, the platform being banked with flowers. On the plat- form, too, was a fountain of running water, which was a ver ' pretty part of the decorations. T e windows, too. were decorated with flowers and potted plants while throughout the church were placed four cages of canaries, which sang almost con- tinuously and, strange as it may seem, appeared to be in perfect tune with the music rendered.
