Glad to see the snow goingâ€"only for the mud. No election this year as our Reeve and Council have been elected by ac- clamation, owing to our mud roads in Welbeck suburbs the Council thought it had better slip in the easy way as on account of the condition of our roads, very few votes would have been polled. Mix'James Welsh has the radio in- stalled and has been entedtaining quite a number of neighbors. In Hector Boyce‘s swamp Lorne Goldsmith had a very narrow escape, coming in contact with a large wild cat.

The breaks were mostly made at examination and. of course, by dif- ferent boys. Some of them follow: After twice committing suicide; COWper lived until 1800, when he died a natural death.

An elephant is a square animal with a tail in iront and behind. Since you and I were childrenâ€"and long before thatâ€"people have believed that the ostrich buries its head in the sand when frightened. believing itself entirely hidden. We may regret to part with this table. because of its frequent application to the conduct of some people; but fable it surely is. and an injustice to the good sense of the ostriches. The fact that capture of wild ostriches is a herculean task ought to be enough to nail this old fallacy. What the big bird really does when he becomes aware of danger, and thinks himself yet unperceived, is not unlike the action of a hen or a quail under similar circumstances. He squats down close upon the earth. w The Minister of War is the clergy- man who preaches to the soldiers in the barracks. The long neck that would otherwise make him still conspicuous he stret- ches out flat along the ground. He does not bury his head; his eyes are open and alert to see whether he had better be running instead of trying to hide. In this position, he looks just like another hummock of the surface. But just try to get near him and you will find out that his eyes and all his protective senses are working. mThe fiannelette peril means petticoat governmenc.

ON THE OSTRICH Welbeck THE DURHAM CHRONICLE Said one to the other; “You come my W83. While I take a nibble of new-mown with me, For I, too, have some hay. You see.” So they got nowhere; just pawed up dirt, Two fool jackassesâ€"now get this dopeâ€"- Were tied together with a piece of And oh. my gosh, how that rope did hurt. Then they faced about, those stub- “I won’t” said the other, “you come born mules, And said, “We’re just 13:2 a couple of human fools. Let’s pull together. I‘ll go your way. Then you come with me and we’ll both eat hay.” Well. they ate their hay, and liked it And swore to be comrades good and true. As the sun went down they were heard to say, “Ah. this is the end of a perfect day.” Now get this lessonâ€"don’t let it pass; Learn this one thing from the poor jackass: We must pull togetherâ€"it’s the only way To conduct our business and make it pay. The business people in every town in the province must be heartily tired of the never-ending calls being made on them for money for support of this, that and the other “good cause". One day last week a lady made the round of the business places in Luck- now soliciting money contributions in aid of a charity being conducted in Toronto. for the feeding of homeless and foodless men in that city. By way of making an appeal of sympathy she displayed a circular showing the pic- ture of a line of men at a door await- ing a free meal. They were. of course. a poor looking lot. just the kind that never do an honest day's work. always looking for sundown and kicking about their jobâ€"spending their earnings as they go. in betting. drinking and smoking. It is unquestionable if the charitable feeding of such men does not do more harm than good. Any- body who knows that crowd of city loafers and burns. knows that they will multiply as the means of substance in- creases. so that to remove the evil they represent in that way is hopeless. Why should those who have worked and denied themselves the indulgence of silly and harmful pleasures be call- ed upon to save the profligate from the natural consequence of this folly? â€"-Lucknow Sentinel. At a country fair five dollars was offered as a prize to the person who could guess the weight of a certain cow. - "'i‘warn’t nothin‘." replied the hero of the occasion modestly. “I’d ‘a' done better'n that if I'd tried." Crowds of people tried their skill and varied weights were suggested. Finally old Garge. who was regarded as the village idiot. came forward. To their amazement he named the exact weight of the cow offhand. "How did you do it?“ asked the judge. after awarding the prize. _ Helping the Down-and-Outs SPECIAL PRICES IN ALUMINIYJM WARE AND SUNNY BLUE Enamel ware makes exceedingly useful gifts.
