CALL REGENT 6853 HAMILTON (Ravers* th* Charg**) TO THOSE INTERESTED IN MINES Our Mining Stock Department offers a rapid and effici­ ent service for the execution of orders on the Standard Stock and Mining Exchange. The motor bus which runs between Simcoe and St. Thomas went over the embankment on the Forge road hill last Saturday evening, when the driver lost control, and carrying fence posts and wire fence with it plunged head on into the waters of Otter creek, several feet below. The driver in charge was Reg. Crosbie of Simcoe, and with him as passengers were James Devlin of Tillsonburg, George Raymond, employ­ ed by Robert Scott of Bayham town­ ship, J. V. Smith, and a fourth, whose name was not learned. Fortunately none of them were injured, and the 1 bus was not very badly wrecked. Apparently, from information glean­ ed from the passengers, something went wrong near the top of the hill and driver Crosby did everything he could to stop the bus. succeeding at last in getting it in low gear, but the big ma­ chine kept making its way towards the fence on the icy road, finally breaking off three of the fence post* and tearing down the wire fence. Fortunately for the occupant* the bus headed straight down the embankment, instead of top­ pling over on its side, and came to rest with the whole front part immersed in the water. The car was hauled back to the roadway Sunday morning with the aid of four teams of horses and a truck. Both front wheels pointed out­ wards, the radius rods were broken, the right front door and steering rod were broken, but not a pane of glass in the whole bus even cracked. The bus was a twenty-passenger. G.M.G, and ha* plied these road* with two re­ turn trip* each day for almost a year without mishap. Both Mr. Crosbie and passenger* think the accident would not have happened if the roads had not been slippery. Dereham Lad Loses Eye An unfortunate and painful acci­ dent occurred Wednesday. January 26. whereby Ralph, the 9-yesr-old son of Mr. and Mr*. Charles Marshall of Ostrander, will lose the sight of hi* left eye.

Medical aid was summoned, and after first aid the lad was hurried to a London specialist, and is now under­ going treatment at St. Joseph's Hos­ pital. It isdtoped that the sight of the right eye win be saved.

He Communications To the Editor Tillsonburg News dear Sir.—In conjunctionM. the writing I am sending to' your approval or cation, I must first of all introduce my­ self to you. To be brief, I am an old Tillsonburg hoy. and a brother of Mr. Stephen Scott. I have always had a feeling that though a citizen of the U.S.A., there ha* always been in my heart of hearts a deep and sincere love for the land of my birth, England, and Ontario as the finishing school of my present attitude. I have never yet vis­ ited Tillsonburg but what a reminis­ cent mood |K>»»cs»ed me. and many of my young companions, whose qualities were of the finest today arc golden rec­ ollections in my advancing years. You know the Yankee is very prone to brag and boasting in many, many things. How he did boast and brag when the two American women swain the Eng­ lish Channel; especially was it *0 when Edvile made her exploit. But I am tickled pink Io know and to learn a Canadian hoy wrested the laurels from many of our natives whose prowess as swimmers was so international of fame to be made pigmies by an unheralded and unknown son of Ontario: hence 1 wa* possessed to pen my simple eulogy to the memorable aquatic feat of George Young. GEORGE YOUNG George Young, who has accomplished through his persistence of pluck and courage, winning the swimming race in the midst of a splendid array of ex­ perts from Catalina Island to Point St. Vincent, on the mainland shore of California, finishing alone, the rest falling out and giving up. During the short span of hi* lite there enters four distinct qualities that won the well- deserved laurels and prize throughout hi- long, tedious and buffeted swim in the water* of the Pacific. The four qualities he possessed arc, namely: Huck, Courage.

Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Presby­ terian church, held last week in the Foresters' hall, was the most successful in the history of local Presbyterianism. The business meeting was preceded by a sumptuous supper, served a( 6.30 by the ladies of the congregation, and the attendance wa* beyond all expecta­ tions. In fact, it was the largest in the history of the church. The tables were tastefully decorated with the Presby­ terian colors. The gathering was called to order at 8 o'clock and Dr. B. A. Rayson was the unanimous choice to fill the chair. Following the adop­ tion of the minutes. Hartley Berry, clerk of the session, presented their re­ port.

Drake reported that the missionary society had an ac­ tive membership of 2S members who had raised over S2W.00 during the year. Miss D.

TORONTO KELLY—In loving memory of Robert Culver Kelly, our dear second son and brother, who died at the age of 18, Feb. 3, 1920. In Our Father's Gracious keeping, Leave we our loved one sleeping. His illness lasted a week and he suf­fered of flu and pneumonia, much to our grief, but he -murmured not. and he meekly submitted to the Master's will, and wholly trusted in God. His memory will ever grow green with the years in many a heart, . There is not a day that I do not think of you. Oh, sweetest thought of you is ever at my side, every time 1 see your photo. Something there within my heart. Many walers cannot quench my love, neither can the floods drown it. Some day. some time, I know not when, I will grasp your hand. In my drcam you spoke of God. His hob- name inspires my mind with springs of life and light.. More than 1 ask in God 1 find and languish with delight. We arc weak, dear Lord; we cannot stand one moment without thee; but, oh. the tenderness of Thy enfolding, and oh, the strength of thy right hand. That strength is enough for us. We are needy, 1-ord, and yet we know all fulness dwells in Thee. And hour by hour that never-failing treasure sup­ plies and fills in overflowing measure our last and greatest need. And so Thy grace is enough for us. It is so swcei to trust Thy word alone. I do not ask to see the unveiling of Thy purpose or the shining of future light on mysteries untwining. Thy promise roll is all our own. Thy word is enough for us. There were strange soul depths, restless, vast, and broad, unfathomed as the sea. An infinite craving for "something stilling." hut now- Thy perfect love is perfect I filling. Lord Jesus Christ, my Lord, my God. thou, thou are cnough>Jor us. —Inscribed by his loving Mother.

Maud . .................... her father look so strong and calm and benignant—so full of power and good­ ness and self-reliance—and a certain high faith and hope mingled with her lore, and raised it almost to worship, as she lifted her eye/ to his face. He said: “I sent for you. my dear, to tell you to relieve yourself from all uneasiness, to cast all your cares on me—for I care for you. I have the desire and the ability to make you happy. Of what avail, indeed, were my age and position, if they had not the power to bless our one child? All that I am. and have, my love, will I use in making your mother’s child content. You do not knowV$at took me to Baltimore? No; for I would drop no hint of a purpose that must have been a subject of ex­ citement and anxiety to you during my absence, and would have hindered your recovery. But I went to Baltimore in pursuit of Falconer. I understand that boy thoroughly, my dear; his very faults grow out of a noble, though mis­ guided. nature, which time, experience and knowledge will correct. 1 feel a real and deep interest in him, my dear, and not solely upon your account, but also upon his own and his family's. I have great hopes for him, my love— he will yet do very well; he will yet be an honor to his friends and to his country."“Did you see him in Baltimore, my dear father?"“No. my dear. I did better than that. It would not have been well to have seen him in the mood he was then in. But I was enabled to make a tolerably accurate guess as to the pLccs where I should most likely hear /cws of him. As there was no election pending, I made inquiries about him at irtists* studios. I found that he had visited several in Baltimore, and that he was going the next day to Washington City. Now, therefore, in order to ef­ fect my purpose in his behalf, it was necessary for me to precede him thither. I did so. I set out by the night coach, and reached the city by the next morning. Immediately after breakfast, I went to see our friend Donzoni. the Italian sculptor, in the employment of the Government." . "A man. my lore, who owes his pres­ ent fortune to your father's patronage. Fifteen years ago. when we first went to Europe. Mr. Hunter found, in a small village in Italy, a poor, unfriend­ ed. but highly-gifted young artist, who, in addition to the trials of genius, had endured persecutions, and well-nigh suffered martyrdom for the freedom of his thoughts upon religious and po­ litical questions. Your father brought him to this country, procured him a Eremment contract, and laid the foun­ tion of his present fortunes. Don- zoni. my child, is one of the many men of genius in all the departments of life, who owe their success to your father’s discriminating benevolence and timely aid," Mid Mrs. Hunter, warmly. Maud lifted an almost worshipping glance to her father’s noble coun­ tenance, but he only smiled and kissed her, and shook his head, saying: “I do not know, my dear; every one whom I have been so happy to assist would probably have succeeded with­ out my aid, though possibly not so soon and easily as with it. Genius, like murder, will out. and it is easier to dear th- way for it than to repress and keep it hack. But as I was about to say, my dear, 1 found Donzoni in his studio, near the Capitol I had a long and confidential conversation with him. I spoke of Falconer—spoke highly, and I am sure justly, of his genius and promise. I found that he knew and appreciated the boy. And then 1 held out such strong inducements to him as decided him to offer Falconer a place in his studio as pupil and assistant. I received his promise to this effect, and took leave with the understanding that he should come in the evening and sup at my lodgings at Brown’s. It turned out exactly as I had expected. When Donzoni came in the evening, he in­ formed me that Falconer had called at his studio about the middle of the af­ ternoon. soon after the arrival of the day-coach from Baltimore, in fact, and that he had made the stipulated pro­ posal to the young man, and it had been immediately accepted. There­ fore you see, my dear, for the present, Falconer is safe and provided for." "My dear father I my dear, dearest father1" said Maud, kissing his hands, with the tears in her eyes. “And Falconer, as yet. knows not to whom he is indebted for his present good fortune," said Mrs. Hunter. "As yet. nothing; nor is it necessary that he should. In the boy's present mood, the knowledge would be worse than useless—it would be detrimental. All he wants from me now is my Maud; and he wants her instantly, and as 1 cannot give her to him yet. he would spurn all other benefits He is young, fiery, headstrong, self-willed. He has always not only really been his own master, but has considered himself everybody clsc's. He never was op­ posed, probably, in his life before— and now to be frustrated in the very dear­ est wish of his heart, just in the hour of its frunion, and by a man whom be considers it a religious duty to hate, too, half-maddens the poor boy, and no wonder. We must allow him time to recover himself,** said Daniel Hun­ ter, smiling."My dear father I my dear, honored father I" murmured his child, under her breath, as she pressed his hands to her bosom and to her lips. In the meantime, if any one is inter­ ested in knowing it, Miss Honor a had Sir Henry Percival all to herself in the drawing-room. And the young Englishman had got himself into a beautiful entanglement. Meeting with his relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, in l^ndon, and joining their party for the sake of coming over to the United States and seeing the American peo­ ple at home, he had been attracted by the superficial beauty of Honoria's face, and during the long sea voyage had paid her such “particular" attention as had somewhat committed him with the beauty in love with the baronetcy. But at the very first sight of Maud Hunter, for the very first time in his life, he really and irrevocably lost his heart. And you may imagine how de­ lightful it was. under the circum­ stances, to be tacitly given over by all parties to Miss Honoria. And he re­ mained at Howlet Hall, apparently as the suitor oi Honoria—really as the lover of Maud—a position which neither Maud nor her parents had per­ ceived. A Well-Nourished Body Depends Upon Vitamins SCOTT’S EMULSION Abounds In The Health-Building Vitamins Of Cod-liver Oil CHAPTER XXVII. The Outside World. Soon alter the first ol January, Mr. Hunter wrote to his agent in Wash­ ington to engage for his use a furnish­ ed house in the "court end" of the city —and.early in February he removed thither with his family. As soon as it was known that Daniel Hunter was established in his town house for the season, his doors were beseiged by visitors, who had not en- oyed the opportunity of paying their respects to the great statesman and diplomatist since his return from his tong residence in Europe. It became an absolute necessity to appoint weekly evenings upon which to receive hi» friends, in order to secure a portion of his time to himself and his family. And therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter agreed upon Wednesday evening to see the world at home. While they were to­ gether consulting over their visting list.

EDEN SOUTHWORTH The morning after his arrival, he sent for Maud to come to him in his stud?. She went, and found him sit­ ting in his leather chair, with Mrs. Hunter near him, as usual. Indeed, it was a rare thing to see them apart: for the years that passed over their heads but drew them th* closer together; they were truly one- one in thought, affection and purpose. In early life, Mrs. Hunter had. as a matter of conscience, avoided taking any part in the statesman’s political toils, cares and anxieties, lest he should not afterward be able to enjoy that thorough rest and recreation in her society which he otherwise might have done. But as time passed. Augusta had felt herself drawn irresistibly more and more into closer and closer companionship in all the man's, the philanthropist’^ the statesman's inter­ ests. thoughts, plans and purpose*. And their closer union made them both Drink Hot Water With Meals to Stop Stomach Disorders WHAT PHYSICIANS ADVISE Thousands of unfortunate people suffer almost daily from dyspepsia, in­ digestion, fermentation, sour, acid stomach, flatulence, gases or distress after eating. If they would only form the agreeable habit of slowly drinking after eac^ meal a glassful of hot water containing a teaspoonful or two tablets of Bisuratcd Magnesia they would soon find their stomach so strengthened and improved that they could cat the rich­ est and most satisfying meals without the least symptom of indigestion. Nearly all so-called digestive troubles are caused by an excess of acid and an insufficient blood supply in the stom­ ach. causing the food to ferment and sour before digestion can uke place. A glass of hot water will draw the blood to the stomach and the Bisura^d Magnesia will neutralize the stomach acids and make the food contents bland and sweet. Easy, natural digestion without distress of any kind is the re­ sult. Bisurated Magnesia is not a lax­ ative, is harmless, pleasant and ca»y to take and can be obtained from any re­ liable local druggist. Do not confuse Bisurated Magnesia with other forms of magncsiai—milks, citrates, etc., but get it in the pure Bisurated form (pow­der or tablets) especially prepared for this purpose. ■ happier. Her mornings, whenever he 1 needed her, or thought he needed her, were passed with Daniel Hunter in i’Ll* a’ and ,n 0,6 eTcn'n8», their UDor and cares were forgotten, in the family circle around the fir-. But this by the way. Upon the present occasion, no heavy state affairs, no reformatory project, not even a neighborhood improvement —but a more genial family interest en­gaged Mr. and Mrs. Hunter. As Maud entered, her father, with cheerful, en­ couraging countenance, held out his arms to her; and when she came to him, he drew her between his knees and set her down, and smiled in her face. Maud thought she had never seen her father look so strong and calm and benignant—to full of power and good­ ness and self-reliance—and a certain high faith and hope mingled with her love, and raised it almost to worship, as she lifted her eye, to his face. He said: “I sent for you. ray dear, to tell you to relieve yourself from all uneasiness, to cast all your cares on me—for I care for you. I have the desire and the ability to make you happy. Of what avail, indeed, were my age and position, if they had not the power to bless our one child? All that I am, and have, my love, will I use in making your mother's child content. You do not know\^at took me to Baltimore? No; for I would drop no hint of a purpose that must have been a subject of ex­ citement and anxiety to you during my absence, and would have hindered your recovery. But I went to Baltimore in pursuit of Falconer. I understand that boy thoroughly, my dear; his very faults grow out of a noble, though mis­ guided. nature, which time, experience and knowledge will correct. I feel a real and deep interest in him. my dear, and not solely upon your account, but also upon his own and his family’s. I he will yet do very well; he will yet be an honor to his friends and to hts country.” "Did you see him in Baltimore, my dear father?’ “No. my dear. I did better than that. It would not have been well to have seen him in the mood he was then in. But I was enabled to make a tolerably accurate guess as to the pl.ces where 1 should most likely hear /tews of him. As there was no election pending, 1 made inquiries about him at artists’ studios. I found that he had visited several in Baltimore, and that he was :oing the next day to Washington ,ity. Now, therefore, in order to ef­ fect my purpose in his behalf, it was No. K—Apartment Type It radianta, finiabed in antique bra.., height 23)4 inchea, width 24H inchea, depth II inchea.

Immediately after breakfast. I went to see our friend Donzoni. the Italian sculptor, in the employment of the Government.’ "A man. my love, who owes his pres­ ent fortune to your father’s patronage. Fifteen years ago. when we first went to Europe. Mr. Hunter found, in a small village in Italy, a poor, unfriend­ ed. but highly-gifted young artist, who, m addition to the trials of genius, had endured persecutions, and well-nigh suffered martyrdom for the freedom of his thoughts upon religious and po­ litical questions. Your father brought him to this country, procured him a government contract, and laid the foun­ dation of his present fortunes. Don- zoni, my child, is one of the many men of genius in all the departments of life, who owe their success to your father’s discriminating benevolence and timely aid," Mid Mrs. Hunter, warmly. Maud lifted an almost worshipping glance to her father’s noble coun­ tenance, but he only smiled and kissed her, and shook his head, saying: “I do not know, my dear; every one whom I haye been so happy to assist would probably have succeeded with­ out my aid, though possibly not so soon and easily as with it. Genius, like murder, will out, and it is easier to dear the way for it than to repress apd keep it back. But as I was about to say, my dear, I found Donzoni in his studio, near the Capitol I had a long and confidential conversation with him. I spoke of Falconer—spoke highly, and I am sure justly, of his genius and promise. 1 found that he knew and appreciated the boy. And then I held out such strong inducements to him as decided him to offer Falconer a place in his studio as pupil and assistant. I received his promise to this effect, and took leave with the understanding that he should come in the evening and sup at my lodgings at Brown's. It turned out exactly as I had expected. When Donzoni came in the evening, he in­ formed me that Falconer had called at his studio about the middle of the af­ ternoon, soon after the arrival of the day-coach from Baltimore, in fact, and that he had made tbc stipulated pro­ posal to the young man, and it had been immediately accepted. There­ fore you sec, my dear, for the present. A Well-Nourished Body Depends Upon Vitamins SCOTTS EMULSION Abounds In The Health-Building Vitamins Of Cod-liver Oil Bcw«l * Sown., Tkm», Oat. ZWI COME IN NOW And we will gladly explain to you why the Humphrey Radiantfire i. un.ur- Falconer is safe and provided for.” ’’My dear father! my dear, dearest father'” said Maud, kissing his hands, with the tears in her eyes. “And Falconer, as yet. knows not to whom he is indebted for his present good fortune,” said Mrs. Hunter. “As yet. nothing; nor is it necessary that he should. In the boy’s present mood, the knowledge would be worse than useless—it would be detrimental. All he wants from me now is my Maud; and he wants her instantly, and as 1 cannot give her to him yet. he would spurn all other benefits He is young, fiery, headstrong, self-willed. He has always not only really been his own master, but has considered himself everybody else’s. He never was op­ posed, probably, in his life before— and now to be frustrated in the very dear­ est wish of his heart, just in the hour of its fruition, and by a man whom he considers it a religious duty to hate, too, half-maddens the poor boy, and no wonder. We must allow him time to recover himself,” said Daniel Hun­ ter, smiling. “My dear father! my dear, honored father!" murmured his child, under her breath, as she pressed his hands to her bosom and to her lips. In the meantime, if any one is inter­ ested in knowing it. Miss Honor a had Sir Henry Percival all to herself in the drawing-room. And the young English man had got himself into a beautiful entanglement. Meeting with his relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Hunter, in London, and joining their party for the sake of coming over to the United States and seeing the American peo­ ple at home, he had been attracted by the superficial beauty of Honoria's face, and during the long sea voyage had paid her such “particular" attention as had somewhat committed him with the beauty in love with the baronetcy. But at the very first sight of Maud Hunter, for the very first time in his life, he really and irrevocably lost his heart. And you may imagine how de­ lightful it was, under the circum­ stances, to be tacitly given over by all parties to Miss Honoria. And he re­ mained at Howlet Hall, apparently as the suitor of Honoria—really as the lover of Maud—a position which neither Maud nor her parents had per­ ceived. CHAPTER XXVIL The Outside World. Soon after the first of January,, Mr. Hunter wrote to his agent in Wash­ ington to engage for his use a furnish­ ed house in the “court end” of the city —and early in February he removed thither with his family. As soon as it was known that Daniel Hunter was established in his town house for the season, his doors were beseiged by visitors, who had not en- oyed the opportunity of paying their respects to the great statesman and diplomatist since his return from his long residence in Europe. It became an absolute necessity to appoint weekly evenings upon which to receive his friends, in order to secure a portion of his time to himself and his family. And therefore, Mr. and Mrs. Hunter agreed upon Wednesday evening to see the world at home. While they were to­ gether consulting over their visting list, Daniel Hunter said: “I have been turning it over in my High Quality-Low Prices Are the Distinguishing Features of Our February Clothing Sale LOT NO. 1 IS Men’s Overcoats, regular >25.00 for LOT NO. 2 18 Men’s Blue Overcoats, >35.00 for LOT NO. 3 13 Men’s Blue Overcoats, >25.00 for Boys’ Sufts, sizes 30 to 35, regular $12, half price — 115 Men’s Heather Sweater Coats, guaranteed to wear February Sale .....

THE MARSHALL WAY -PERFECT REST Fig. x THE MARSHALL SPRING Notice how the end* of the spring* are turned back to that they cannot work through the pocket*. Thi* i* an ex­ clusive patented Marshall feature. Fig. 4. COTTON POCKETS Thi* shows how each individual spring is encased in a stout cotton pocket and thus prevented from becoming entangled with the’ other springs in the mattress. At the same time, this pocket spring construction insures silence and enables the use of very small springs, which make the mattress very flexible. Fig. X NESTED SPRINGS Thi* illustration shows the way the springs are arranged in the Marshall Mttress. The nested, or honeycomb ar­ rangement leaves no space between the springs and thus, when the mattress is finished, there is no chance of the spring* going out of place. , Fig. X THE MARSHALL BOW-KNOT Thi* is another exclusive Marshall feature. Notice first the part of the tic outside the mattress—instead of the ordinary dust-collecting tuft of felt or leather you have a neat bow. Secondly, the heavy tape used will not break, as is the case ftith cord so commonly used. Most important of all. notice that the tie doc* not pus through the mattress. Separate ties on each side of the mattress hold the padding and ticking firmly to the mat of springs. None of the springs are compressed, no tuft* on break and the neat, even sur­ face of the Marshall Mattress is the resuh.

Falconer bear this? Eating hi* own heart in sullen rage. Hi* almost tear ! was realized—hi* "Star of Silver • Creek" had ri»?n upon the city—and ; for one poor lover, had a town full of I adorer*. Rumor also gave her qj mar- riage. It was said that the beautiful1 Miss Hunter and the young English baronet, seen ahvay* in her company, were affianced. And thal thal wa* the his sentiment*, he flew to hi» art. and ^-"DODD'S ^KIDNEY k PILLS J: made a model of Laocoon strangled by serpent*, and showing a countenance so diabolical with anguish, despair and malignity, as could only be inspired by a state of mind as that of the artist. He seldom went out, for he was to­ tally unconnected In the city, and he scornfully rejected the good offices of the only man who both could and would have introduced him into society. He would not honor Mr. Hunter's card with any sort of notice: when he first got it. he took it up. and turned it about with a bitter apd sour »mile. and read. "Daniel Hunter receive* Wednes­ day evening* at 8 o'clock." and said:“'Daniel Hunter I' Just »ee the ar­ rogance of that man! just see 'the pride that ape* humility!' Another man would have written Mr. Daniel Hunter, but he writes Daniel Hunter as if it were Julius Caesar! And it deceive* the people, too! Pahl how I hate humbug I" and so saying he tossed the card over his shoulder, and hammered away at his work, digging furrows in the unlucky brow of the 1-aocoon. And all this while Daniel Hunter was silently and secretly watching over the boy. and promoting his intcreits. He lost no opportunity of recommending the young sculptor to his friends. And all commission* for buiU, medallion*, statuettes, etc, which ffelcooer receiv­ ed during the winter, and which, with an artufs-pleasant egotism he awribed solely to his own merits, were entirely owed to Daniel Hunter's exertion and influence in his behalf. Falconer never saw Maud except at church, or in the ladies' gallary of th. Senate, or in the carriage on the ave­ nue. or at some concert or opera, and then »hc was always with her parents and the odious Sir Henry Percival. And the boy was too proud and resentful to approach her under such circum­ stances. So .passed the season until it drew near its close. Congress adjourned on the 4th of March, and the fashionable world was preparing to leave Washing­ ton. Falconer did not know, and scorn­ ed to inouirc. whether Daniel Hunter and his family would leave with the other*. But he had not spoken with Maud since her arrival in the city, nor. in fact, since their separation at the altar. And now an intense, irresistible longing to speak to her, took posses­ sion ol his soul. (To be continued) WYECOMBE lumber of the young people en- day of hit week.
