RUDOLPH, Hanover Wearâ€"Well Harness & Collars OH, HORSE, you are a wonderful thing: no buttons to push, no horn to honk: you start yourself, no clutch to slip, no spark to miss, no gears to strip: no license buying every year, with plates to screw on front and rear: no gas bills climbing up each day, stealing the joy of life away ; no speed cops chugging in your ear, shouting summons in your ear. Your inner tubes are all 0. K. and thank the Lord they stay that way. Your spark plugs never miss and fuss: your motor never makes us cuss.

At least, I‘ve not seen any. And as for fighting Jim will not allow anything of the kind in the house." | "On inqu‘ring for quarters for the night, Mr Hunter said: "We are pretâ€" ty full. My wife has had a quilting bec tcâ€"day and there are some 30 or 40 women here. Mostly settlers‘ wives and daughters. Some of them will scon be leaving for their homes, but many will remain over night. However we can give you a shakeâ€"down someâ€". whore if it will suit you." "Oh, perfectly!" said Beaumont, we are accustomed to roughing it.‘ "So!" returned the tavern keepor. ‘"Well, make yourselves at home. Supper will soon be ready. The party then entered the hotel where Mra.’ Hunter took charge of the women | folksâ€"tcok them to her own _ room,| where they took off wraps and had a‘ refreshing wash after their long journey. | Altogether the book is a rare one and keeps alive the carly days of Bruce and Grey. It retails at $1.50. Here is a section dealing with the kindly reception the incoming pionâ€" ecirs received at Hunter‘s Hozel, A chapter deals with the races of early settlers, such as English, Irish, German, Highland and â€" Lowland Scotch, ,French, one group of (in Normanby) negro. Presbyterians head the list of early setilers, followed by Church of Engâ€" land, Methodist, R. Cathclics, Bapâ€" tists and a few other denominations. We can give no more in detail of early trowbile. ‘The fortunes of the group are followed through the year. True to l‘fe there are fights and love scenes, dealing with the Indâ€" ians, kindness of Mr and Mrs Archiâ€" bald Hunter, at Hunter‘s Hotel, Durâ€" ham, etc., etc. The construction of the. Garafraxa Road from Durham westward, is reâ€" lated. The inrush of pioneers to this Saugeen country, early . difficulties, trcuble with bears and cther animals and many other diffMculties, are set forth with a fulness, that is enjoyed by readers of mature age. | A list of the scholars is given with their varying characteristics and one follows their career in early manhood and womanhood, with the fascination of a story, though we are assured the many incidents have a basis of truth. The program of one schocl concert is given in full and in its preparation there arose little jealousies, all too common. \ The above heading is the title of a | the land. vo‘iume that has reached our sanctâ€"| Hous um, the author being Wm.

The net result of all this pronaâ€" The Conservative party is always represented as the Ilcyal one, regardâ€" less of the fact that the only moveâ€" ment toward annexation with the United States was entirely Conservaâ€" tive, and the only movement toward better trade relations with England was made by a Liberal government. The Liberals are blamed for not building the C.P.R.: but it is never explained that Alexander Mackenie knew in 1872 just what Conservative crators shouted to us :n 1911â€"that the railway would not pay unless Sir John A Macdonald is the father of his Country. Much is made of his intention to die a British subject and very, very little of his remark in reâ€" gard to Protection, that if he knockâ€" ced down the acorns for those hogs (the manufacturers) he must have some of the bacon. The Act of Union comes in for a Ict of praise because it was a great thing for Ontarioâ€"Quebec had to r*y Ontario‘s debts. Doubtless the Quebec people were delighted. Conâ€" federation too, was fine for Ontario, therefore it was fine for everybody. The Nova Scotians were not ruined, they only thought they were. _ Joe Howe was against it only out of jeaiously for Tupper and the Nova Scctians were soclidly Liberal thirty years thereafter, just because they thought the measure should have been passed by a popular vote. In all these books for instance, there is nothing but praise for the United Empire Loyalistsâ€"no mention of the fact that among them there were many of those ‘govermment inâ€" sects‘ whose incompetence, dishonâ€" esty and bad manners were the real causes of the American Revolution. The same qualities in their descendâ€" ants caused the Ontario Rebellion of 1837.
