PAGE 2. A YOUNG GIRL WENT IN SWIMMING IN A LAKE WHERE HER father had forbidden her to go. Thinking to propitinte him, she gathered a number of beautiful shells, of which he was a great admirer. and carried them home to him. He took them in his hand and threw them on the ground, saying quietly: “My child, to obey is better than sacrifice." My brother, my sister, did you ever disobey God and then . _-_.- ..2lt° _. y My brother my sister did you c try to propitiat’e him by ’some gift? S'I‘.

BENSON, TELLING OF HIS father‘s life as Head Master of Wellington College, Chancellor of Lincoln Cathedral and Bishop of Truro, before he was made Archbishop of Canterbury, the following touching incident oc- curred. The Vicar of Truro confessed this to his ishop: I am so lonely and miserable in the evenings that I rent a pew in the \Vesleyan chapel, and go there on Sunday nights to get a little warmth and light, and to see human beings and hear them speak. I know it is very wrong. but I cannot hear the perpetual solitude. We are told that Dr. Benson prayed with him and gave him his blessing, but the poor man "was in great distress" as he went. away. \\'hat a testimony it is to the need of spiritual fellowship! And what a striking illustration of the power of that fellmysiiip in connection with another church! In his evident concern, the clergyman actually felt it was wrong to do what he did. Not at all; he did the very best thing pos- sible in his "perpetual solitmle" "by consorting with those warm-hearted Ou-nish Methodists. Fellowship among those whose hearts are loyal toward Christ isalways right and always helpful.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE MARKDALE IAN GETS TWO YEARS IN PEN. Everett ham Headed Guilty to Charge of Indecent Assault on Lit- tle Girl. Two years in the Kingston Peni- tentiary was the sentence imposed by Magistrate Creasor in the Owen Sound police court. on Thursday morning. on William John David Henry Everett Madill, the young Markdale butcher who was arrested the week before last on a serious charge against a young girl of H01- land Township under the age of eight years. Mr. W. D. Henry of Markdale was counsel for the pris- oner, and when the case was called, at once pleaded guilty to a charge of indecent assault, which was ac- cepted by the Magistrate. The ac- cused took his sentence without a word and did not show any emotion. The court room was crowded. As soon as the case was called and the charge of indecent assault was read by the Magistrate, Mr. W. D. Henry of Markdale, counsel for the accused, elected to he tried sum- marily by the Magistrate and de- sired to plead guilty. Mr. Henry then] made a strong plea for mercy on he-l half of the convicted man, pointing out that during the M years that he had known him, his reputation and character had always been of the highest. He had hen compelled to look after himself from the time hew as a boy, 14 years of age, and had looked after his aged parents when they were unable to care for themselves. It was true that he had fallen from grace on this occa- ision, and they were only thankful ‘that things were not worse than they were. Mr. Henry pleaded that justice might be tempered with mercy on this occasion, especially as the accused had a young wife, and an aged mother, both of whom were dependent upon him for SUp- port. . Several witnesses were called to give character evidence, and each gaxe him the highest recommenda- tion, and all were prominent citizens of Markdale who had known him for many years. County Crown Attorney Dyre in addressing the court. made an im- passioned appeal for the protection of the children of the county as they walked along the highway. He said that this was the most dastardly and inexcusable act on the part of the accused that he could possibly conceive of, and he related the cir- cumstanccs of this man driving along the country road in his car and picking up these two little girls who were on their way home from school, having been released a littlcl earlier than the older ones. and then of his having committed this cow- ardly and almost unspeakable crime. Mr. Dyre was not so sure that he was doing his full duty in laying the charge that. he had. as it migh: easily have been a more serious one. ‘but had taken into consideration the lfact that a plea of guilty had been 'made and the fact. that. because of this, these children would not be dragged into a public court. and be questioned by counsel. and perhaps never have this etl'aced from their memory. He made it clear. how- ‘ever. that. the country road must be safe for the children to travel upon. and that. the general public should know that the law punished severm Iy all who are found guilty of such t‘it't'ences as this one. He again stat- ed that he could not conceive of {anything worse than this. and the fact. that. he was a married man was just. an agg'av:‘ition ot' the crime rather than a reason fora mitigation when the passing of sentence was iconsidercd. Ther was no excuse for such actions. and could see no reaâ€" son why there sluiiuld be. any reduc- tion from the maximum penalty.

Patrick McCarthy was being shaved by a very careless barber. He took the numerous gashes in stoical silence, but when the shave was over, he gravely walker over to the barber’s water bottle, took a mouthful and with tightly comâ€" )ressed lips, proceeded to shake his ead from side to side. “What's the matter?" demanded the barber. "You ain‘t got a tooth- ache, have you?” The “Tbothaclie, the devil!" said Pat ately steamed after plucking. which pro- vents oxidization.
