Peters (Durham Chronicle) A death which, though not alto­ gether unexpected, was a great shock to the whole community, occurred al>out half-past five o'clock on Christ­ mas Eve. when Mrs. (Rev.) J. E. Peter*, wife of the pastor of the Queen Street United Church., passed away following an illness of about six wycks from paralysis. Mrs. Peters was first taken ill on the 16th of November, when she lo*t her speech and, on her physician being called in she was or­ dered to bed from which she never arose.

Convention --------r Following is a synopsis of the report of the provincial convention of the Women's Institute, held at Toronto re­ cently, as given by'.Mrs. William Sutch. delegate, at the recent meeting of the local branch of the Institute:— Wonderful results, accomplished through the activities of the W. I. were given publicity at the 25th annual convention held at Hygeia Hall, To­ ronto, beginning with an afternoon session on Nov. 16th. Mrs. Meek qf Alton, acting as chairman (some of you will remember Mrs. Meek, she having ' been the departmental speaker atxMr*. Sinclair's two years ago). The aver­ age attendance at the meetings was around "00. Each session opened with community singing led by Mrs. Davidson of ■ Unionville, who had charge of the musical program. Dur­ ing one of the sessions community singing was discussed, it being said from the platform each branch should endeavor to have it. The Lord's prayer was repeated in unison and this also led to a discussion. The delegates were welcomed by Mrs. Groves, mem­ ber of the. Toronto Board of Educa­ tion. Mrs. Groves spoke warmly of the work the Institutes were doing for the Children. She had great faith in the child of today for he was better born. Today instead of reading Dia­ mond Dick and Jessie James he was tinkering with a radio or other inven­ tions'of today, thus they will be better fitted to carry on the. wark. Miss Applebee of Georgetown replied to the word of welcome by saying we were all proud of our organization, proud be­ cause we stood for service. Mrs. Walker of Bartonville thanked those who had given her the rejjort of their branch-on community activities. She said one way to help our organization and create a friendly spirit with each member taking an active part is to make it a rule to call on three different I members each month. Another speaker, Mrs. McBeth, of Milverton, spoke of good results obtained by pub­ lishing the work of the Institutes. We were then favored with a solo by Miss Gormely of Toronto. Reports of re­ lief work done by different branches were read. Otlttr reports under the heading of relief were given. One branch beautified a park which had been purchased by the town and was used by tourists; another built a bath house at a water front for the con­ venience of tourists. One branch, which had a real helping spirit, and met with difficulties, put $3,000.00 in a school, later the school board refused to acknowledge any help from the W. I. It finally led to a supreme court case, but was soon settled, the judge granting a decision in favor of the branch, without a member being called for a witness, showing the work of the organization is upheld and respected. With over 1000 branches, much good can be done. It was suggested to have a relief committee of four members in each branch and give all the cheer and sunshine possible to the living. Chil­ dren suffering from infantile paralysis get free medical attention by applying to the nearest Kiwanis or Rotary Club. Children who need glasses can get them free at the Toronto clinic. Miss Chapman of the department, of agricul­ ture reported the great service done by the W. I. for the northern fire suffer­ ers, and she mentioned to that some of the things sent were simply useless to those poor people, who needed* warm, sensible clothing. 7.15 Tuesday evening.—Mrs. Duncan of Weston presided. Miss K. F. Mc­ Intosh of Brampton reported on health and education. She emphasized strong­ ly the need of music in the schools, this being good work for the branches to take up in schools where music was not followed, and the paying any addi­ tional cost- One branch encouraged the hoys to take up manual training by offering prizes of $50.00. Reports were given by the convenors of the Junior Institute. TheyUold of their debates, way> of making, money and relief. Mention was made of Tillsonburg branch offering prizes to school chil­ dren fair week, which was thought to lie a very good move, but medals were considered better than^. money. Miss McIntosh and those in -charge were well pleased with the entries from the different branches an the sewing con­ test. which were exhibited at the To­ ronto exhibition last August. Miss Guest, in reporting on immigration, em­ phasized need of sympathy, tolerance and understanding of those interested in welcoming and caring for the new comers in a district. She thought that each branch should have an immigra­tion committee to call on any new comers. Some of the immigrants in Northern Ontario were sending for their sweethearts under the guidance of the W.L, showing the confidence these people have in our organization and its browth to the motherland. Dr. Currelly, director of the Royal Ontario Museum, gave an excellent address op the Royal Home and Garden. He opened his address by saying what we have is the outcome of what we had. He said many years ago halls were large and rooms small. Now rooms were large and halls smalt One of the important rooms in a home these days was the boudoir, in other words a woman's sulking room. But some homes are not homes, just a place to stay. A home should not be a place of make believe, but where truthfulness and the moulding of character is ob­ tained. It is the home in the early stages of life and not the Sunday school or day school where children should be taught truthfulness, stated Dr. Cur­ relly. His opinion of a beautiful,gar­ den was one giving a restful feeling. A green plot of ground surrounded by a few hedges or flowering shrubs keep- inf of course a certain amount of for­ mality. ■ Wednesday, 9 a m.—After community singing, a short time was given to ques­ tions. "Ways of Making Money," led to a very interesting discussion. One delegate reported their branch made $50.00 by serving supper to an athletic club. They divided in two groups, one group served the supper, the other wrote to absent members asking them for handkerchiefs, which were sold the evening of . the supper. Another branch divided in two groups, one to arrange for a social and the other to arrange for an apron sale. What ap- Ealed to me as a very good one arid I licve it did to a great many others, judging from questions asked, was tl;e report of a branch which had divided in two groups, one side did all the plan­ ning and getting donations, for a hope chest, which was placed in a'storc win­ dow about a week before; the other side put on a little concert or play and arranged for a booth where refresh­ ments were served. The concert was necessary so as to sell the trinkets for ’.he^opc chest, which was drawn on the night tri* me concert. This branch cleared $400. • The ; ‘ "can one who is nd—----- office." Mr. Putrf Diamond Wedding, Celebrated Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Buchner of Court­ land Spend a Happy Day Surround­ ed by Their Children. Grandchildren and Great-Grandchildren, as well as Many Friends of Early Days — Four Couples Present Who Have Passed Their Golden Wedding Anniversary —Many Letters and Cards of Con­ gratulation Received. A very enjoyable event took place in Courtland on Friday, January the four­ teenth, when Mr and Mrs. A. O. Buch­ ner had the pleasure of celebrating their sixtieth wedding anniversary. The privilege of celebrating this anni­ versary few wedding couples live long enough to enjoy. The day was a typical winter one, not too cold and without a sign of storm, so that no one desiring to come to the Buchner home needed to stay away because of inclement weather. Between eleven and twelve o'clock there arrived four old couples, all boy- twos and in carloads, some from Court­ land, others from points farther dis­ tant. Some brought flowers, which added greatly to the decorations of the rooms. Among these were a huge bouquet of red roses from the Baptist church, a beautiful basket of pink roses from the Ladies’ Aid of the United church, and a very pretty cy­ clamen from the Women's Institute. The daughters and daughters-in-law received the guests, and served each one. before leaving, with a cup of tci and a piece each of wedding cake and bride's cake. Accompanying the lunch was a white paper napkin, across the corner of which was printed the names of the couple, with the date of their marriage, and that of the present an­ niversary. Many of these were carried away as souvenirs. After lunch each guest was asked to sign his or her name in a "guest l>ook," which had been provided for the occasion by Mr. and Mrs. Buchner's fourth son. Dr. Elkanah Buchner, and his wife, of Chi­ cago. They had spent Christmas week hood and girlhood friends of Mr. and Mrs. Buchner. These were Mr. and Mrs. Elkanah Mudge of Detroit, Mr. and Mrs. John Ronson of Corinth. Mr, and Mrs. Ben DeForest of Springford (the latter being Mr. Buchner's only living sister), and Mrs. Robert Mc­ Queen of Courtland. Unfortunately, Mr. McQueen was unable to come as he was suffering from an attack of la- grippe. At twelve-thirty these nine lifelong friends sat down to dinner in the dining room, which was tastefully decorated in pink and white, and as they did jus­ tice to the ample dainties which were provided for the nourishment of their Ixjdics, they refreshed their minds tvith tales of days gone by. Well could they recall lAimcrous experiences, many of which occurred before they had launched out onto the matrimonial sea, and not one of the couples but have been sailing that sea ior over fifty years. All five have celebrated their golden wedding anniversaries and a little over a year ago Mr. and Mrs. Mudge celebrated their sixtieth anni­ versary. After dinner, while the guests were still at the table, the numerous cards and letters of congratulation^ which had been pouring in to Mr. and Mrs. Buchner were read aloud, 'mid the smiles and tears of the listeners. Mrs. Mudge rose and said a few words in appreciation of their opportunity of being present at this re-union and stated how thankful they should all be to the giver of all good things for sparing them all these years. The little circle of friends then repaired to the living-room, which was also decorated in pink and white, with a large bouquet of pink and white carnations on the tableNot long after this, other guests commenced to arrive to offer congratu­ lations to the fortunate couple. During the afternoon and evening they con­ tinued to come and go, in ones and with relatives in this vicinity but were unable to extend their vacation long enough to be present at this time. During the evening, while several friends, and nearly all the children and grandchildren, who could possibly be present, were gathered in the living­ room. Miss Lulu Compeau played the piano and all joined in a good old- fashioned sing-song, the songs being mostly hymns familiar to all. With this fitting ending to a most enjoyable day the crowd dispersed. During the afternoon and evening over seventy persons called and very sincere was the wish expressed by each one that Mr. and Mrs. Buchner live to see many happy returns of the day. Several came from Delhi, others from Detroit and from Akron, Ohio, and ot the ten living children eight were counted among the number present. The beautiful flowers and the numer­ ous -gift* received testify to the high esteem in which Mr. and Mrs. Buch­ ner hre held in the community. Mr. Buchner was born on the 16th of January. 1845. on lot 33. Middleton. where his grandfather settled in 1829, and which at that time was a wilder­ ness. His father left him the possessor of the west halt of said lot, which he subsequently let his third son have. In 1908. with his youngest son and daughter. Mr. Buchner moved to lot 21. Courtland, where he has since resided. Mrs. Buchner’s maiden name was Amelia Phillips. She was born on the 20th of September, 1850. and has also been a lifelong resident of Middleton. She met with an accident at Port Dover in 1913. when the bridge col­ lapsed. which left her a cripple. Mr. and Mrs. Buchner have five sons and five daughters living, 29 grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. They have been members‘of the Methodist church for many years, and Mr. Buch­ ner was superintendent of the Meth­ odist Sunday school for over twenty- five years. of Institutes, replied that she would be eligible after two weeks' membership. Just at this time word was received from a distance that a Mrs. Allen, a former member of the Board, had pass­ ed away. A standing vote of sympathy was taken. A few moments were al­ lowed for a discussion on immigration. It was reported this line of work gives more trouble than any other. Institute branches should look after children, who are wards of societies and hired out. If not treated properly it should be reported to the nearest children s shelter, stated Miss Guest. Let us do our best to become good honest citizens, be congenial, be sciablc. help make this a good country in which to live, so wc can help the young people home. This discussion was followed by a report on Home Economics by Mrs. Ross. She divided the subject of her report intOk three sections—Food, Clothes and Shelter. „ Mrs. Ross thought each branch should give so much time to the subject of food. Have some one of authority give a talk on the value of milk. Children arc suffer­ ing from the lack of milk and vege­ tables. Children should have at least one vegetable a day. Send for books on this subject. One is entitled The Argument in the Kitchen'; another• .» •The Passing of the Powder and Pill Box." Mention was made of young girls attending school, dressed as il they were going to a party instead ot to school. Clothes have an affect on the health and personality, so should be given due consideration. Mr. lap- lin, who conducted a shoe display here in tlie town hall, gave a lecture and showed pictures on the screen as well as having models who wore shoas which do not injure the health. Mrs. Ross suggested keeping a budget of our time, so many hours for work, so many for sleep and so many for recre­ ation. and allow plenty of sunlight >n our homes. Dr. Margaret Patterson followed with a splendid talk on health. Advised having a nurse come to branch meeting to give a talk and demonstra­ tion, but when deciding to do so make arrangements with neighboring branches for the convenience of tbe department, and nurse.

Mr. Putman, superintendent of the Women’s Institutes, gave a splendid address on the development of woman power and urged us to do our best for the betterment of home conditions. He advised the branches not to think only of making money by plays, teas, etc., but to do things to attract others to our mcctngs and not to bring up sub­ jects which are apt to cause friction, ne also advised having an instructor from the department occasionally who will come free of charge. At the close of this session a collection of $72.68 was taken among the delegates for the Christie Street HospitaL Wednesday, 1 p.m.—Several resolu­ tions were made. No. I, that we ask to be exempt from amusement tax. No. 2, That the Institute encourage a higher type of music in homes and in public and express its disapproval of much of the present-day popular music which tends to lower the standard of youth. No. 3, That the ear, nose and throat of children at school should be examined and given attention where needed. In schools where this is being done, mothers were asked to stop crit­ icising. The medical profession were working for the benefit of children. No. 4, ,That we favor the spreading of literature in, the schools “on evil effects of harmful drugs.” No. 5, That we look after the feeble minded of the prov­ ince. No. 6, That wc respectfully sug­ gest to the minister of education in any future editions of our readers there be introduced a number of the old and best-knowh gems from the British poets, and until such selections are added to the readers provision be made for teachers to familiarize their classes with these poems. No. 7. That all im­ migrants be educated to Canadian laws before being allowed to vote, and no one allowed to vote through an inter­ preter. The wording of this resolution had to be changed as, Mrs. Langs, cha’rman of the legislative 'committee, informed us that there is a law which allows an interpreter. The delegates were informed by the deputy minister of agriculture that he appreciated the work of the W. 1. He said the organ- ________ _ _ ization was one of the splendid assets mentally dean we shall |of the province. Mrs. Langs then gave a very interesting talk. She thought it wise to have a committee.pn legislation in every branch and to have current events frequently at our meetings. A county judge has no right to give nat­ uralization papers to non-English speaking people. Watch him and sec that he doesn’t, commented Mrs. Langs. Wc should do all in our power to pre­ vent the continuance of the child wife. At the close of this meeting we were asked to go in a body to the Robert Simpson palm room, where a jolly banquet was served. After a few toasts and speeches we were conveyed by ruses to the Royal Winter Fair, and given free admission. This was indeed will worth seeing from an educational as well as an entertaining point of Thursday. 9 a.m.—Mrs. Miller of St. George in the chair.—A few moments were allowed for questions. One dele- i gate asked how Canadian and patriotic songs could fie obtained for community singing. Have your town printer print them was the reply. Miss Applebee of Georgetown gave an interesting talk on historical research and said we should keep up with current events and have old people give reminiscences of days gone by. She had come to the conclusion that General Brock must have been a very big man. twelve fam­ ilies having claimed the distinction of carrying him off the battlefield and the Mayflower must have been larger than we thought, judging from all the an­ cestors who crossed on it. M r». 1 odd of Orillia, who is one of the honorary presidents, was called upon to give a few words. She commented on the at­tendance at the banquet provided by the , Robert Simpson Co., and wondered, I with the Institute growing each year, if the upkeep of the banquet wouldn't be too great. Mrs. Robertson, the Ontario Federation's president, in giv­ ing a survey of the work, emphasized strongly the need of being 100 per cent, women. She stated wc are all mem­ bers of the Federated W.L. perhaps operating with other sAietics as well, not materially, but in co-operation. The onward rush for, pleasure is blam­ ed to war, but the war is over and wc should be looking ahead. Home life is passing away and the control of par­ ents is passing away. It is common these days for children to dispute their parents, the parents having lost all con­ trol. which isn't fair to the child. Motherhood is the keystone of life and children should be taught to respect it and old age. Teach the children not to be quarrelsome and fault-finding, but by getting together and talking mat­ terrover and by co-operation, that dii- ficultics can be settled. Wc don t want another war, and that is one way to prevent it. Teach the children tem­ perance. that early training helps them in later years."Mrs. Robertson said for women not to think of work only, recreation was needed for the body, mind and soul. Whifc speaking of rec­ reation. dancing was discussed. The speaker thought we should encourage the old square dances from a social as well as a moral view. Mr- Putman thanked the delegates for their attendance and attention. A vote of appreciation and song, "For he's a jolly good fellow," was tendered Mr. Putman Miss Guest again took the floor and gave a very interesting talk on the little kind and thoughtful acts which at the time arc not noticed but really mean a great deal after all. Wc were then favored with a solo by an Institute member, after which Mrs. Edwards of Komoka talked on Canadian Industries. She asked the following questions. In your daily buy­ ing. do you ask for Canadian products. Do you buy foreign articles first be­ cause they arc cheaper and second be­ cause the quality is better, third be­ cause there is no similar article in Can­ ada? Do you think if women demand­ ed home products your local dealer would supply them. Wc should study and patronize Canadian industries. Hicy arc the heart of the country.Dr. Brown, on behalf of the Social Hygiene Council, gave a short talk on health, and advised the branches to make use of instructors and demon­ strators .md the town branches have them during the seasons when the far­ mers arc busy. A discussion arose on the work of amateurs. Mr. Putman asked how many in the audience had made their own. hats. He offered three dollars for first prize and Dr. Brown offered two dollars for second prize. Fourteen contestants were nuhibcrcd and tickets handed to delegates on which to put the numbers of the hats they thought the best, as the contest­ ants marched up the aisles. Mrs. L. Gaeger of Grimsby got first and Mrs. E. B. West of Kctterly got second. A summary of the work of the Insti­ tute is given in these few lines; A little more kindness and a little les* creed, A little more giving and a little greed, A little more smile and a little frown, A little less kicking a man when down, A little more wc, and a little less "I." A little more laughs and a little less cry, A little more flowers on the pathway ofAnd fewer on graves at the end of the strife. iCLIMIE’S QUALITY GROCERY •• WHERE PURE CLEAN POOD IS SOLD ’• PHONES 63-64 THIS WEEK WE OFFER While They Last Sweet Juicy Navel Orange* 29c doz.

The following note* on last Sunday's The title of the “Holland of North America" has been given to Oxford County, Ontario, and our conclusion, after a somewhat hasty motor tour of the county, is that this title is justified. At the risk of offending Waukesha and some of the other good Wisconsin counties, and perhaps Madison and Chenango and others in New York State, we must say that we believe there arc more good Holstein* to the square mile to be found in Oxford than can Ih- found in any like area outside of Holland itself. It wa* recently the pleasure of the writer to spend a week driving with Ward and Ralph Stevens. They were inspecting consignment* for the International Bleeders’ Sale next month, and my purpose wa* to see a lot of good herd* in Western Ontario that I had known so long by reputation through their production record* and show ring activities. We were very much impressed with the general quality of the cattle feen in these representative herds. They arc all run on a practical basis with considerable attention paid to eco­ nomic production. Cows milking over 70 lb*, a day on two time milking were common in these herds. We found in­ variably a keen appreciation of the value of good sires and from the at­ tention they arc giving to selection and development in the Holsteins of West­ ern Ontario. All through Western Ontario, and particularly in Oxford County, they have been enjoying a wonderful demand for their cattle from United States buyers, and nearly every herd uas sold down pretty wclL We heard no talk of hard times or depres­ sion. the competition from other breeds or anything except optimism for the future of the Holstein cow throughout our entire trip.-We know some breed­ er* on this side of the line that would be benefitted by subjecting themselves to such an environment for a week.— M.

He did not read your letter that I placed in his hands; he may not read this, my reply; but he must have the opportunity of doing so. My father trusts me, and 1 would not deceive him to win my heart's dearest wish." Maud finished her letter as she had commenced it. with the most earnest assurances of affection and fidelity. And then she sat a little while in re­ verie. before folding and addressing it. And while she sat so, she heard a gentle rap at the door, and thinking it was Susan come to put more coal on the fire, sc said: "Come in." But when the door, opened it was Mrs. Hunter who entered. "Now, my dear mother, was it you? Did you rap before coming into your child's room?" said Maud with a tend­ er regret in her tone, as she arose and met and embraced the lady. “You arc a sensitive little creature, Maud—a degree more and you would be a morbid one!" "Ah. but sweet mother, don't rap at my door like a stranger again.

Maud took the letter up once more, turned it over, contemplated the su­ perscription wistfully, and with another sigh puf it in the hand of her maid, saying: "Susan, lake this letter back to the messenger who brought it. and say- mind, noiv attend and repeat my words exactly, Susan—say that it has been misdirected, observe! misdirected."

And while the lady read it, Maud changed her slippers for a pair of gaiters, put on her riding habit, ar­ ranged her hair, and tied on the little hat. and drew on her gloves, and then stood waiting a few minutes. Mrs. Hunter finishedjier letter, and held it on her lap, and sat looking at it with the tears welling up in her my answer to getting ready. but she answered: "1 think, my dear Maud, it is her fingers. “It was Mr. Falconer O'Leary who brought it.

"Your good, true instincts have guid­ ed yon safely between the two, my love." “1$ it all right, then, mamma?” "All right, my darling." "And there is nothing to alter?" "Nothing—nothing, my love." “Why are the tears in your eyes, sweet mother?" ‘For joy, and for sorrow, Maud— for joy in my child's goodness and truth—for sorrow at her grief. But never mind," said the lady, smiling, “a little trial will not hurt my girl at her age—it will do her good." (To be continued) Mrs. Hunter was going purchase for her daughter a much needed ward­ robe of the best materials dial the limited country store could supply. They returned to a late dinner. That evening after Mr. andd Mrs. Hunter had retired to their chamber. "I feel very anxious about our little girl," said Daniel Hunter. “I have seen her eyes fill with tears several’times today. I do earnestly hope that this is no 'Romeo and Juliet’ affair between these young people." "Do not be uneasy. That Falconer loves, as he does everything else, mad­ ly. there can be no doubt. But that Maud - loves with any other than a sisterly affection I do not believe. Maud's heart, I assure you. has never been awakened to any stronger, more exclusive love, than that of a sister for her brother. You might have been sure of that, by the perfect openness with which she spoke of her affection for Falconer. Do girls speak so of their lovers?" “I judge as you do—and yet—her tears I" "They are a sister's tears for a poor, bereaved brother—no more than that!" The next day about noon, the party from the city, consisting of Sir Henry Percival, Miss Honoria and Letty Hunter, arrived. They were put in possession of this piece of secret family history as soon as possible after their establishment at the Hall. The delight of Letty was affecting—it betrayed it­ self in a burst of tears, as she pressed the new found darling fondly to her faithful, affectionate bosom. Honoria embraced her adopted sister, and touched her warm, rosy cheek with her chilly lips, and then felt that she had done everything that was required of her. But Sir Henry Percival, the young English baronet, when he was presented to the beautiful girl, started as if out of a sleep, for he had been gazing at her in a perfect trance of admiration. This did not especially delight Miss Honoria, who certainly considered Sir Henry as her own pe­ culiar cavilier. In the course of a few days, the now somewhat large family (were comfortably settled in their win- | ter quarters, and preparations were in progress for Christmas. But in the meantime they heard nothing whatever I from Falconer O'Leary, and Maud grew daily more anxious and depressed. Often in her innocent frankness she expressed her anxiety and asked her father or mother if either had heard ' anything of Falconer, but her parents had heard nothing satisfactory of the young man. In the meantime. Falconer had re­ ceived Daniel Hunter's generous letter, but maddened by love, jealousy, dis­ appointment and rage, the boy saw everything distorted through the false medium of his passions, and imagined that his claim upon Maud was indis­ putable, and that Daniel Hunter .knew ’ ’ ad written the tem- ry letter only to gain of indefinitely. And , to use his own ex- "by fair means or aiden in his power. i ne sat up an one night to write her, ' and in the morning he took the letter i to.Howlet Hall, and put it in the hands I of. James, the parlor waiter, with strict 1 injunctions to carry it to his mistress. ' And James gave it into the charge of 1 Susan, Maud’s own maid, with direc- . tions to take it immediately to Miss ' Hunter.* It was as yet early in the nroming and the maiden had just arisen from her bed, and was standing before a dressing glass combing out her Jong, i bright ringlets, when her maid entered, ' and laid the letter on the dressing table before her. Maud took it up; it was addressed to "Mrs. Falconer O'Leary." The girl laid it down again with a troubled countenance, and a porizing. time and pression from her bosom, and looked at it again, and turned it over and over, trifled with the seal, dwelt upon the hand­ writing, and not withstanding the pre­ sumptuous superscription, pressed it fervently to her lips and to her bosom, and sat down upon the sofa and wept over it. She would have given much for the privilege of reading Falconer's letter and answering it kindly and soothingly. But she knew’ her duty better. And after her fit of crying was over, she arose again, and folded the shawl across her breast and went down into the sittingroom, where the family were all assembled for morning worship. As soon as that service was over, they all went into breakfast. And after breakfast, all dispersed, each to make arrangements for spend­ ing the forenoon, ether in work, amusement or study. Maud went up to her father's study with the %purpose of speaking to him about the' letter she had received. She found both her parents there in con­ sultation upon somE building plan. Bin as they saw her enter, they broke off their conversation, and turned with smiles to welcome their beautiful child. She advanced to the table and laid the letter before her father. Daniel Hunter took it up. and looked at it with surprise and vexation. “Another letter from that mad boy, my child? and with the same insolent superscription? Really! But I must be tolerant. Who brought it. my dear? When did you get it? Apd why did you not return it by the messenger?" "Falconer in person brought it, my dear father, and when I sent it back to him he returned it. and departed abruptly, before I could send it a sec­ ond time, and so I have brought it to you. sir."snes he said. siderand holding her so, while he asked: “Now, what do you think of this letter, my child? You know, of course, it is a very presumptuous act in him to address you by his name." "He is beside himself, father." "And therefore I must endure, if I cannot cure his madness. Well I this letter, my love. I should like to know your secret heart—your sweet will about this.” if. I should like to d perhaps to answer." gave the letter back and embracing her fodly, said: "Take it, chamber, I please to d trust my M her mother’s daughter, truly," and he pressed a kiss upon her cheek, and arose and led her from the 'study. And gladly Maud hastened up into her own apartment, closed the door and broke the seal of her fetter. And such a letter as it was I A wild elo- ouent, impassionate appeal, bringing all the power, will and obligation of the my child. Go to your and answer it, if you I find that I can in all things.

She spared no words to assure him of her affection and fidelity; but she said that she belonged to her father, who had the exclusive dispos­ al of her, and that she could not and would not trifle with her filial duty; that the name he addressed her by was not her name; that to persevere in ad­ dressing her by it must needs be of­ fensive to her father, and therefore very painful to herself; that if he were patient she would some day or other be pleased to bear his name, and with her father’s sanction, too.

FOR ALE AT Torrens’ Hardware A Strange Foster-Father For Rabbits Cits will frequently adopt mother­ lew infants of other animal specie*, and this trait has led to their use by the fox farmers of Prince Edward Island for the raising of motherless fox cubs, but it is unusual for a dog to become foster-father to a family of tiny bunnies.

It was decided to hold a social evening on .Thursday evening of this week at the home of Mr. W. Crawford. On Tuesday. January 11th, the Ml Elgin branch of the Women’s Institute held their monthly meeting at the home of Mrs. Bert. Hartnett. The meeting was very largely attended, there being present to answer the roll call 56, the largest meeting recorded for several months. A splendid start for the New Year. The president. Mrs. A. Down­ ing. occupied the chair, and the meet­ ing was opened with the singing of the Maple Leaf. The roll call was an­ swered by "What is your idea of the greatest earthly happiness." The best an»wer by far in our estimation was “A home of my own." by one of our youngest members. The answers were not quite so ready as usual. We are thinking of starting another contest, as it seems to be the best way in which to bring out our ideas. Mrs. L. Wood­ man then read letters from different sources, one of interest from the super­ intendent. Mr. G. Putman, asking us to arrange for a speaker for our summer meeting if one were desired. This met with approval from all and was left to the secretary for arrangement Mrs. Downing then gave the report of the meeting held by the library committee the previous week, the result of which was very satisfactory, and a committee of ter. was appointed to make arrange­ ments for the getting of subscribers and going ahead with all work neces­ sary. including the appointing of the board. We hope by the February meet­ ing to have everything in readiness for opening up. After all business was dis­ posed of Mrs. Fred. Bodwell gave a splendid paper on "What a woman ought to know about laws relating to herself, home and children.” It was specially interesting, and the subject a ell handled. A piano selection fol- lowed by Miss Florence Greer, after I v. hich came a contest. A standard I size of quilt block, conducted by Mrs. J Duffy. The blocks were many, show­ ing great taste and excellent work­ manship. The first prize was awarded to Mis> Phyllis Pile; second prize, Mrs. Emmerson Harris. Our thanks are due to Mrs. W. Daniel. Mrs. B.

Har­ ris. Roll call. “A Canadian Woman of Note.- A debate. “Resolved, that men of today are better than their fore­ fathers," between Mrs. F. Small and Mrs. J. Dalton.

"Commu­ nity Entertainments." a subject on which the author of the paper is a great authority, so should be very interest­ ing. We hope for a large attendance. Our membership is now 78. We should like to sec it as large as that of last year. Any new members will be very welcome. Our programmes are of the highest quality and visitors cannot be otherwise than impressed by the suc­ cess of our meetings. "Come and join us.” The meeting was dismissed with the singing of the National Anthem. If Stomach Hurts Drink Hot Water Nowtrelix. Stomach Acidity Pre- veat Food Fermentation. Stop Indirection “If those who suffer from indiges­ tion, gas, wind, or flatulence, stomach acidity or sourness, gastric catarrh, heartburn, etc., would take a teaspoon­ ful of pure Bisurated Magnesia in half a glass of hot water immediately after eating they would soon forget they were ever afflicted with stomach trouble, and doctors would have to look elsewhere for patients." In explanation of these words a well known New York physician stated that most forms of stomach troubles are due to stom­ ach acidity and fermentation of the food contents of the stomach combined with an insufficient blood supply to the stomach. Hot water increases the blood supply and Bisurated Magnesia, which can be readily obtained at any reliable drug store, in either tablets or powder, instantly neutralizes the ex­ cessive stomach acids and stops food fermentation, the combination of the two. therefore, being marvelously suc- Eiful and deddely preferable to the of artificial digestants, stimulants or medicines for indigestion.
