I can refer you to Mr. John Williams and David Allan; they can tell you all labout the cause of our road sinking. 1 These two men forced the commission- i er of ‘Vard No. 1, who at that time . was a stranger to the Ward, to dig a l ditch on the north side of the road. ‘ Common courtesy may call it a ditch, but its right name is a reservoir; there {is no outlet for the water to run in 3 any direction, and the reservoir holds 1 a large quantity of water for the whole year, jwhich keeps the road bed always -. soaked with water. Then, Sir, is it l any wonder that the road has almost I sankfout of sight. There is one point l1 wish to draw the attention of the . council to. and especially the commis- ! sioner for \Vard l i. e. Have the own- . ers of lots 49, 50 and 51 been asked to ' contribute their share towards opening i a drain across their lots ? Any person I5 that knows these farms knows to a f a certainty that that drain would en- hance the value of these farms hunâ€" . dreds of dollars, and, sir, while we dis- cuss this question 1 would like to give my modest opinion with regard to the matter on hand. Le; the council ap- point a committee to negotiate with Allan, \Villiams and \Veir. If they would put up, say $30 or $40 each towards the work, the council could put up the rest of the money. If they refuse to help bring an engineer and he will locate the drain and tax the farms to the full amount according to the Ditches and W'ater Course Act. R. S. 0.

The editor tells me I have a woman on my track. It is not the first time such a thing has happened and if I get out of this scrape as out of the others I may yet survive to end my days in peace and harmony. The Woman on the Farm is evidently no tyro. Her letter indicates long train. ing in polemics of some sort. Her composition is so vigorous so tren- chant, so evidently sincere that I have set her down as a tough old Grit, who has gone through many a political campaign, if not as an ac- tual v0ter, then, "like the man be- hind the gun,” the policy maker of one honest husband. The Hon. G. W. Ross should send her a timber limit or a New Ontario gold mine for her masterful defence of his government in its hour of greatest need. But I heartily clap her on the back and can say, “ Lay on. McDufi, ” for it is the other fellow that is catching it! this time, citizenship means, and the executive oflicers should do their duty. AN EASY JOB. How often young men, just on the threshold of life, ask their seniors to suggest ” an easy job " for their life’s work! Almost every week profes- sional men who have an interest in the welfare of our young peOple have to answer the enquiry. Fortunately, the answer is not so diflicult as at first appears. An easy job never made a man of anybody and never will. The young man who asks for an easy job has already the seeds of dry rot within him somewhere, and the answer of a faithful friend must probe to the roan. of the evil, and, if possible, expose the rankling sore. “ Faithful are the wounds of a friend,” and the young man is for- tunate who has a wise friend to give prOper counsel at such a critical time. Such a friend was Henry Ward Beecher to a young man who wrote him a solicitous letter asking for “an easy job.” His answer was as follow :-â€"â€"” You cannot be an editor; do not try the law ; do not think of the ministry; let alone all ships, shape and merchandise; abhor poli- tics ; don’t practice medicine; he not a farmer nor a mechanic ; neither be a soldier nor a sailor; don’t work; don’t study; don’t think. None of these are easy. Oh. my son, you have come into a hard world! I know of only one easy place in it and that is the grave.” HE SQUIRMS NOW. fiflifigmsm‘as- u u I I I. u m “88.0 C0" ‘79 m m M Tom“ a hue children or retain. thtt do Mend um I: amctod. then lead. {or O and try It.

He felt mad again the next week when a new issue appeared and he found out that the paper was still running. Whena. man hits another fellow he ought to be thick enough in the hide to be hit back without squealing about it. The man who knows nothing never feels that there is anything for him to learn. The editor of the Chatsworth Ban. ner received one dollar in a letter from some one who did not sign his name but who stated that he had been reading his neighbor’s Banner. The Wiarton Canadian man received a dollar from a man named John E. Smith who had been genuinely con- verted and who stated he had stolen something on editor Whitlock when he was in Tara 12 years ago. When conscience money is getting into the pockets of local editor frequently these days we hope a pang of remorse will strike Dave Clark of Bottineau. N. Dak., good and hard so that he will have no peace of mind until he sends three dollars that he swindled us out of on subscription a few years ago. If he doesn’t the grim ferry- man will find Dave Clark so shrivelled up with meanness and downright dishonesty that he will be able to stow his miserable carcass under a seat as he rows him across the river Styx, One poet says: “ Thus con- science doth make cowards of us all.” We sincerely hape that Dave Clark and every mother’s son that ever beat an editor out of his money will have intermittent conscience fever until they restore fourfold their long- standing obligations.-â€"Chesley Enter- prise. The minister called at a certain Canadian home just after he had come to his new pastorate. The small boy was present long before his mother came downstairs to greet the dominie. Trying to be cordial the minister said, “How old are you, my little man ?” " I’m five at home, six in school. and three on the cars.” was the delightful reply. A genteel cerver slwsys site when he carves, says a work on etiquette. Perhaps he does : but it is pretty certain that there are times when he yesrnfully yearns to put one foot on the table and the other on the bird while struggling with the fowl. An editor in Montana told his sub- scribers to help him edit the paper. Said he : “ If you get married. send in the particulars ; if a baby arrives at your home. send it in.” Three days after the paper came out, two babies were left in his sanctum. mmmmumxzm If on mac: mm ed.
