S_i_e_gp_er’s old Stand. Guilty Party. Fearing Expolnre. Ro-‘ turns Money Stolen. 3 When Mayor Horslev went to the post ofice Tuesday morning for his mail, says the Meaford Mirror. he was surprised to find a large rackage in his letter box. and upon Opening it discovered to his surprise that it con- tained $400 in bills of various denom- inations. Accompanying the package was a note stating that the bills had been picked up in the Royal Hotel, but bearing no signature. The Mayor at once concluded that the money belonged to Wm. Neely,- of Rocklyn, who was robbed while sleeping on a lounge in the Royal Hotel on the evening of Cotober 25th last And just here comes in an in- teresting little story. When the Mayor was acquainted with the par- ticulars of the robbery he at once .cmumu'nicatad with the Attorney; {General’s Department in Toronto. asking him to send up a detective. ’The request was complied with The ,Mayor of course took the detective into his confidence giving him the 'names of about a dozen persons who lwere known to have been in the hotel ion the night in question. The latter got busy, foll0wing up the circum- stantial Claus 0m! after another until he had put the whole bunch through a series of examina’ions in the ~wear, box Mayor Horsley was pretty certain that one person in Almxford knew Whera the money was. ‘vn his Wmship had nothing more than circumstau-‘ia! evidence to work on.

STRAY SHOTS FROM SOLOHON. (From The Shoe and Leathe r Journal.) ' THEY LIKE STRAIGHT TALK. This world never saw the day when it did not take 0E its hat to truth. no matter how it had to dodge its shafts. 'l‘he unjust as well as the just accord it homage. Sham and hypocrisy are not normal traits with humanity. The thief respects the upright man. and the liar honors truth in spite of his moral obliquity. Some scalla- wags can tell an upright man how to live better than the most accepted authority on ethics. LIKE CLOUDS AND WIND WITHOUT RAIN. So saith Splomon is the man who} “boasteth himself of a false gift.”i There must have been bankrupt, fire ; and removal sales in Jerusalem ini those days. Oh, the monotony of! of this eternal din of boasting charl- i atanism that is misnamed modern business enterprise! It would seem that the man who buys goods in a: fair market and endeavors to sell at: a modest margin is engaged in a task i more hopeless than the search for! the North Polo. The worst of it is, that the public seem to like playing the role of suckeis and him every? time the line is drOpped with some; ,l'rtsh scheme that appeals to their: 'cupidity.
