And all because Old Eli didox did not see his shadow on Thtirsday of last week. ROUTINE WORK AT COUNCIL MEETING Judging from reports to the daily newspapers on Friday, we are going to have what might be term- ed a “checkerboard” legislation as regards a further term of six weeks’ winter: Down Toronto wa .and in several other places throug out the country it was cloudy, and, of course/Mr. Bruin, not seeing his shadow. in those sections the wint- er is about over. . Last Thursdm “as the 2nd of Ieb1ua1v and it was a beautifully sunshim 1121). In fact, we do not think them was as much as an hum- at. a time that Old Sol didn’t smile down upon us, and quite warmly.. toe. Then; is little doubt that the bear. along mm the rest. of us, could not be held inside on a day like last Thursday and if he came out and didnt see his shadow he must haw been suf‘el 111g from mew blindness. - If there is anything in the old so“ about Mr. Bear coming out on Candlemas dax. seeing his shadow, and again donning up for six weeks’ mo1e w,inte1' then we up in this part of the country, are “it” for an- other month and a half. Thursday Last Was Beautifil Day and Brother Bruin ‘Will Den Up For Six W'eeks More. Mr. William Thompson who lives alone in single blessedness at his residence out on Lambton street was tendered a surprise party by a number of his neighbors and friends who gathered at his home on Saturday evening, when a most enjoyable couple_ of hours were sgen't. After a short programfiie. t e .“eats”. were produced and another somal hour spent. ‘ - Anyway, an exceptionally good time was had, and the next morn- ing when“ the host of the.evening visited his pantry he found, to his surprise and joy, that instead of taking after the well-known one of the Mother Hubbard variety it was filled to overflowing with delectable viands of all descriptionsâ€"another reminder of what he might expect if he were only to turn over a new leaf, join the ranks of the benedicts and become the life protector of some lonely damsel who is willing to swap a life of lonesomeness for the pleasure of filling the pantry shelves with the “best that is” in the culinary art. BEAR SAW SHADOW; SIX WEEKS’ WINTER There is a possible significance in this party which may not appear on. the surface, but which might give our readers an altogether different outlook if the whole truth were known. As we have stated, Mr. Thompson is a most. eligible bache- lor, and this being Leap Year, there is a possibility that. the eligible maidens of the vicinity may have had a hand in the affair in an en- deavor to make Mr. Thompson see the error of his ways, take unto himself a life partner and live up- happily ever after.

The lodge room was arranged to accommodate the big crowd, a sufâ€" ficient number of chairs being plac- ed in the main room to af-' ford ample seating accommodation. The first part of the evening was the programme, and this. was good.; !Piano duets by the Misses Fursman,i Esolos by Mr. Charles Lang. 3. readingl by Miss Elsie'Willis, and selections by the Masonic Orchestra composed of Messrs A. C. Clements on banjo, D. C. Town on mandolin, and. Mrs. Town on piano, were some of the features. The Masonic trio. Messrs. Buschlen, Lang and McKechnie, ‘als_o_ gave an excellent number. . I TO‘RONTO’S' DURHAM CLUB HAD PROGRESSIVE EUOH‘RE Following the programme the us- ual good Masonic lunch was served and this p10ved fully as popular as the programme, and folldwing the remainder of the evening was spent in cards and dancing. The even ng was a most enjoyable one, fully lived up to all expectations, and will be long remembered as one of the most enjoyable affairs of its kind eve1 held here. The chairman for the evening was Mr. E. D. McClocklin, who in- troduced himself in a humorous manner in a unique chairman’s adâ€" dress and later favored the aud- ience “ith an original humorous reading on ‘Fate”. Speakers on the; programme were Revs. E. Hayes, S. G. __M_c_Cormac_k and W. H. Smith. One more successful “Ladies’ Night" must be c1edited t0 the local lodge, No. 306, A. F. A. M.

Annual Gathering of Durham Mas- onic Lodge Was Held Tuesday Night, When Record Crowd Was Present. There is no doubt the death from unnatural causes has been too high among the sheep of Glenelg during the past twelvemonth, but it iso-a long way from being as bad as some of the newspaper dispatches would lead one to believe. We have heard some talk that it is thought the animal responsible for the killing is somethingb lager than a household dog, but furtier than that we can- not go It takes a newspaper re- porter with a Baron Munchausen imaginaion to give the affair real color. . ~ LADIES’ NIGHT WAS GREAT SUCCESS The situation is pitiful. We can picture Bob Edwards, on getting up in the morning, firstâ€"kissing his family good-bye, and then starting out to feed his stock. Loading up the old shotgun and. peering cau- tiously out of the heavily-barred windows, he would firstwbe called upon to dispatch a couple of dozen wolves, a few bears and a hundred or so bob-cat in order to make the world safe for democracy, and at the same time give him an oppor- tunity to sneak out and throw in a few forksful: of straw to his fright- ened-to-death stock. .That 'there are blood-thirsty and VICIOUS afiimals of the semi-tropical and arctic variety roaming the swamps. of Old Glenelg is the only conclusmn we can come to after reading the accounts in the daily papers of the sheep- and cattle- kilhng of the past year, when the Council .paid out over $1,400 for “sheep killed by dogs”._ ‘ The Owen Sound Sun-Times started it a couple of days ago, and the Owen Sound correspondent of the Toronto . and London papers picked it up with elaborations. Yes- terday it was broadcast over the radio from Toronto that Glenelg was being overrun by wolves and other vicious animals that were de- vouring the live stock and making life miserable for the stO'ck-raiscrs oi_t_he township: The latest is from the Toronto Star, which heard that the ,“natives” were staging an animal hunt to get rid of the monsters that were prowling the woods and swamps and the whole Star photography outfit and a couple of feature writ- ers wanted to he informed as to the date so that the former could come up and shoot the pictures and the latter shoot the bull about the big event and place the old town- ship ontheufront page for a_day.
