SHUTTING YOURSELF IS. The man who makes up his mind' in this world to go it alone is going to have a hard time of it. This world has LOOK AHEAD. Health and prosperity are not for-' ever. Don't forget there is a time ahead when you will not he the hustler you are. to-(iay. There is toof much discounting the future. - You: have a fine family. but don’t depend7 too much on a corner in your son‘s house when he has the business. It3 may not be just what you have figur- ed it out to be. Keep your mind on the time when you will have to lay: down the burden and take a back? seat. The man who does. not look out ’. forthe. "rainy day" is a fool. It is all very well to talk of ProvidenceT and “faith." The kind of faith that; tells is that whirh lays hold upon the . present and makes it the foundation} for the future. There is some. philos-i ophy in the darkey‘s statement that} having prayed for two weeks for a‘1 thanksgiving turkey, without success, ‘ he asked the Lord to send him after the bird, and got it the same night. God helps those who help themselves. “The ants are a people not strono. yet they provide their meat in the summer. Look ahead-Solomon. in Shoe and Leather J onrnal.

We are built on the social plan, and it is absolutely ne- cessary that we fit in with those who surround us. The fellow who goes along without regard for his neigh- bors will not get far until he finds the proverbial brick wall. This applies to business competitors as well as every- thing else. The man who shuts out his competitors in his business plans, is shutting the door of development :in his own face. The man who shuts gpeople out only succeeds in shutting i himself in.

Al- most ex'ery convention is spoiled by the blatherskites who use occasions of this kind for an opportunity to ex- -ercise their jaws or get their cheap ideas into print. History is made by men who work not with their mouths but their brains: (31.1111111ercia‘1 success is \1 on 111' those 11 ho mind their busi- ne>s three hundi ed and sixty five days in the year. The man who keeps his ' mouth shut may he at a disadvantage I now and then, but he gets there. To the man who knows how to keep a steady jaw and an active brain there is always a future. QUIET PUSH. If some people were as anxious to push their business as they are to push their tongues or scramble for a front seat in a political meeting, they would be better able to pay their debts. Just look at the front row when any noted preacher comes to town. or the orchestra chairs when a sensutionulplay is on, and you will find most of the men who have to re- new their notes two or three times in hangs fire for months and the evils ofl the smash-up are far more lingering] and the mortality is less sudden. They! are awful touchy things, those. church 3 choirs are. and very often the touclr‘ ~ iest unit of the whole outfit is the one who knows the least about the rules of the singin’ school. Church choirs 2 as a usual thing get the front seats in l 5 the sanctuary. a decided point of van- ‘ tage where they can show off their fine millinery and fancy ties. while at :the same time they "look down" on the audience with their Inadeover hats and suits that date well back in the i last century. \V e must not forget the g '- religiou's impulse given to a church by i a good choir. They relieve the mono- tony of the ordinary routine of Sun ‘ day services, and touch a responsive ‘ chord where the preacher fails to get ' his work in. This is true only where i the singers lose themselves in the i spirit of the song. and is not at all ap- l plicable to church gigglers who sit “ amongst the church singers. One 7 giggling cackler in a church choir will floor the best preacher that ever ; stood behind a sacred desk, and it i would be a god-send to many a devot' led worshipper if the chronic cacklers ; were removed from the choirs and placed with the rest of their class 3 at the rear end of the church. If God 3 has blessed a persod with a good voice f it is no reason for sticking him up in . the front seats to force profanity from ‘ 5 members of the congregation who re- " gard the church as a place of devo- ' i tion rather than a place of silly en- : 3 tertainment. ‘ (‘zlL'm'u Hunks.

BROWN common or LIBERAL PARTY Whither is the Liberal party drift-l ing? Its political acts reek with rot- tenness, and the afidavit of Wm. H. Callaghan, of Toronto, to the eflect that he acted as an intermediary for Hon. J. R. Stratton in pnrctasing an affidavit from Edward Crossin, R. R. Gamey’s partner in the Crossin Piano Company, in which Stratton was ex- onerated from much blame in the G-amey revelations, clinches those charges against the Ross government and the Grit machine. Where will it end? Is there to be no sense of decency required of Can- adian legislators? Glance back over the past seven years and look upon the picture of un- blushing political crime, under the auspices of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Hon, George Ross and other Liberal leaders. In Ontario, Sir VVilfrid’s right hand. we have had the West Elgin scandal, the offering of the speakership of the Ontario legislature to Conservative members providing they were Willing to sell themselves body and soul ; the } attempt to buy up Mr. Gamey; the purchase of Mr. Crossin’s self-repudi- ated affidavit: the employment of criminals, paid by the Ross Governâ€" ment to make perjured accusations against innocent men; the disfran- chisement of North Renfrew; and the shielding of political bandits, who were furnished with lucrative em- ployment by the men responsible for ithe prosecution of criminals.

Collingwood, Nov. 13.â€"-A most dastardly attempt. was made to mur- der Mr. Thomas Scott, clerk and treas- urer of the Township of Osprey. at his home near McIntyre. Mr. Scott, who was alone, his family having gone to the Orange supper at Badje- ros. was sitting at a table opposite a window in his dining-room when a bullet pierced the glass and passed a few inches from his head. He im- mediately went to the window to ascertain whence the shot came when asecond shot rang out, the bullet, however. fortunately going wide of the mark. Mr. Scott secured his gun and made hasty pursuit after the would-be murderer. whom he saw crossing the fields. He fired at his assailant. but missed him and he escaped. Mr. Scott has no clue to the man. but believes it was some person who knew he was alone in the house, the object doubtless being to killhim and steal the township funds. One of the suitors at the division court here on Tuesday was an East Garafraxa man named Irwin McComb and Dame Fortune frowned on him. He sued Mr. W. May, of that town- ship. for five and one half months’ Wages at $24 per month, giving credit for $66.50 received during the service McComb swore that towards the end of March last he hired with May by the~month at $24 per month. Mr. May contended that the hiring was for eight months for $192, and he claimed that McComb had broken the ' contract by leaving at the end of five months and a half without cause. Mr. and Mrs. May. Jas. N. Taylor. '1‘. H. Hamilton and Robt. Ray rather conclusively proved the contract set up by May, and young McComb was non-suited with costs. This means that McComb will receive for the five ‘and a half months he worked no more than he has already been paid by May $66.50. If May had not made the payment during the service. to Mc- Comb. the_latter would receive noth- in’g, for Judge McCarthy held that he had not completed his contract. It is a pointer for farmers and hired :men alike to be clear and beyond , doubt in their mutual agreements. In this case the farmer has the best of the deal, for young McComb, who is able to do a man’s work. worked L from March until September for about . $12 per month.â€"Ora.ngeville Post.
