McMillan For Glengarry. Enthusiastic and Largely Attended Convention

Held on Saturday—Mr. J. A. McMillan the Unanimous Choice.

h

Mr, Jelm A. MoMilifui oC this towit is the iulicrai candidate in Gi'Cn^urry for the approachlirg Pro- vincial Elections.

Thi« decision uas unanimously ar- rived .at on Satu.rday lust at u coiivention lieM here and .Utended by 121 dcî'Gigatcs out of a pos.sibl© 129.

. The attendance was large and re- presentative. The unixmnded cntJiu- siasm had the .swin^ of Victory, while tlic siHiCches were excellent and of an oi^tlmistic tone.

Everything went witli a vim that in the political vernacular spcTls V—i—c—t—0—r—y.

At 11 o’clock the delegates met and prcsentcil their credentiaLs.

Thro-uighout the day the deliber- ations were presided over by Mr. F. T. Costello, President of the Lib- eral Association of Glengarry.

Mr. Costello, in his uiicning a*d- drc.ss to the dokgaics, .stated t.hat akhough his name had been men-, tioiied in connection \\ith the con- vention he wished to have it with- drawn. Mr. Hugh Munro also ex- pressed himself in the .same way.

Mcs.srs. J. A. McLean and Angu.s Cameron were appointed scrutineers, and on the first ballot the follow- ing .gentlemen were gained, J. A. Me Millan and J. A. C. iluot, Alexan- dria ; R. R, Samgster, .Lancaster ; l>r. D. McDiarmid, iVIaxvUlo ; Ewan Uing wall and 0. C. Brown, WiLiainslown. On the second ballot, Mr. McMil-f Ian’s selection was made unanimous by a -standing vote, a,midst great cn thusiasm. (

At Î.3U a public meeting was held and was very largely attended.

Besides the chairman, ttiosc who occuiiied scats on the i»hu form were, J. 1\ iSchcll, M,lh, ilon. A. E, Evanturcl, G. L\ Graham, M.iM^, the candidate, jMr- McMillan, -1>. C. Mc- Rae, R. R. Sfwigstcr and J. A. C. Jlluot.

The first speaker Avas Mr. Schell, who, after congratulating tlie dele- gates upon the -s<‘.lectiou they had made, and thanking theui for their support, entered into a Tirief resume of the pliatform and policy of Oie Ross Government, dealing particular ly with our public institutions, which ai'o the best system in America.

Following Mr. fc'chcK, Mr. R. K. Sangstor thanked the delegates ,-for the honor they had done him oy bringiag ^his name before the con- vention, but lie was pleased that Mr. McMillan had been chosen, and he -would do hLs utmost to secure his cl'cction. Mr. Sangstcr’s reniants were loudly cheerc-d.

Mr. J. A. C. Huot was the noït sipcaker, but as he termed himself “the baby of the nominees,’ he wil- lingly , withdrew his name, and as in the past, he tvou’jd found at the disposal of liis Liberal friends. Mr. Huot, Avho also addressed tiic meeting briefly in .French, was most cordially received.

Round after round of applause igreeted Mr. McMillan as he came, fciwvard to speak. He returned thanks for the signal honor that had been done him and assured one and ail that in accepting the nomi- ntttion he was in the figlilf^o Avin, in -Teturn he asked lor the cordial apport of all ’Liberals so liiat they Avould redeem Glengarry. As he resumed Ins seat, cheer.s were right royally given.

iScarceiy had the applause subsid- ed when it wajs again renewed us Hon. A. E. Evaiitui'el i^rose to siieak.

Mr. Evanturcl addressed liie meet ing both in Ertglish and French, dealing Avith the record of the Lilj- eral Governraent in Ontario—a pro- vince so far as the administriatio-u of its public affairs is concernedj stands A\-ichout a parallel to-day. it is free of debt. Its insiiiution.s are the most coinpLetc and efficient on the continent, Avhile ’its treatment of the minority is in full conform ity with British justice—equal rights to .Ml. The speaker urged upon all to accord Mr. McMillan loyal sup- port cUid Glengarry would once more be found in its i>ropcr place-in the Liberal ranks.

Like Mr. Evaaiturcl, ilie next speaker, Mr. G. P. Giaham, M.B.F., of Brockviile, i.s a prime favorite with the peojjle of Glengarry, and Avas accorded an enthusiastic recep- tion. His speech was certainly a splendid effort, -and as he m-ido point after point, ills hearers ap- plauded most viijjorously. Hi.s refer- ence to tile “inachinc,’ Aviiich ho characlcrizcil as an invention of the Conservative party, was full of keen sarcasm, and AAihen he shoAved that Mr. Porter, Mjp., the Conservative Avho noAv figures in the West lla.st- ings ballot bo_x affair, had '‘done time,’ and paLd a fine oi $200 for crooked Avork ‘at election time, tlie audience cheerixl repeatedly. “It ill l>ccomes Con^irvatives,’ ^aid Mr. Graham, “to talk machine or cor- ruption, Avlien their lecord both in Federal and Provincial .i>oUtics, is one to bring disgiMce rallier than honor to a party.’

Mr. Graham rcA'icAved the Avork done in the past, and elaborated on llie presemt policy of Mr. Ross, Avhich is framed Aviih I iic object of assisting in the material jirogress of lx)th Ohl and NGAV Ontario. Our educational system' A'a.s dealt Avith and compared w-Uli ilic.^jropositions

of Mr. Whitney, whose policy AV-IS

deslî'uctivc rather than constructive. Tlic assistance given to agriculture AA'.vs enlarged upon, and tlie s{>caker s<iicl that if tlie Conservatives Avere consistent in their professions re governineni-OAvnod railioads they would have to •support .Mr. Ros.s, as .Ontario was the only I’rovlnce in the l>omini-on awning a railway and the rolling thereon.

an important factor in the develop meiu of our vast Limber and min- eral resources.

For this rea.son, and on jt.s gen- eral record and policy, the 'Liberal Government in Ontario was deserv- ing of support, and he expected tlial the t>ii>cra]is of Glengarry Avould rally to the sui)poit of Mri McMUian and thereby redeem this ^•ounty.

Mr. D. C. McRae followed Mr. Gra- ham, ajid urged upon one and all the P,£cc5sity there was for a tho- rough • !organization. .If all would put their shoulder to the AvhecI, he did not fear the result,.

Cheers lor the King, Ros.s, Mr. McMillan and the Cluiinnan brought this i.aosi .succcs.sful convention to a close.

A very successful coueerl unocr the auspices of the Maxville la- crosse and hockey clubs w as beid la the Public Hall Lure, on Thurs- day night, Xbanksgiviug. The cuu- cert was under the direelion of Mr. J. W. Minchclilfe, o£ Ottawa, and with him were associa ted Messrs. C. A. Cooke, tv. Burill and A. E. Ecclestone, as the Ottawa mute quartette, Miss Baby De L-a Bonde was the elocutionist. Bliss Mabel .Wrighton was the violinist. Miss Pearl McLarty the soprano and Miss Ida McDonald the aecempanist. It was the best all-round concert ever given in Maxville. The singing o£ the quartette was thoroughly enjoy- ed and the audience could not get enough o£ them, while the duet by Messrs. Hincholille and Cooke, the Army and Navy, was grant, and the solos by each o£ the members of the quartette were excellent. Such pieces as In the King’s Name Stand and the Death or Nelson, by Mr. Hmchclilfe, Heroes and Gentle- men and Deep Down D<--ap by Mr. Cooke, Anchored and Adieu Marie by Mr. Ecclestone, Hory Darling and Asthor by Mr. Buiiil, were .veil rendered and gave variety to the programme, as did also the read- ings by Miss Do La Bonde, who la a star in her line.

She certainly has a fine voice and great things may be exp-acted from her i£ she sustains the reputation she made that nignt. Miss McDon aid, as accomiianist, t.-as also equal to the occasion, and her superb playing added a great deal to the success of the entcrtiiinment.

To the Editor of the Nows. [ The News column.s convey to mo

tile intelligence that the historic county is safe in Liberal ranks; that Corilcii, McDonakl, and all Uicir piique are badly routed. Mc- Master will make good his promise, that he would be carried back in his coffin, before lie c:in îfiian^^c the voters of Glengarry to vote for Tory principles. Years ago Hic good people of Glengarry rehocred a just Yerdict against Mac, and told him to go away back and sit down.

The writer some time age had a certain amount of res}xict for .1,. Lockic Wilson, but he finds .that Wilson has strayed froni the paths of good icform politics, and joined the Borden-Xarte coinbinallon with all kinds of isms.

Tliat it was foreseen, even dis- ,counted, will detract but littlo from the joy and aalisfaction felt at the election *bf Sir Wilfrid Laurier as distinguished chief. De- tailed figures in the 'News columns tell what a magnificent vote of con- fidence in Laurier's integrity ami ability to successfully and conser- vatively administer the country’s af- fairs, was cast on the 3rd Novem- ber. The victory in its bold, irre- sLfitablo ^wcep amply fulfilled cxpcc tations. It means four more years of uninterrupted Liberal rule, a masterful and able Liberal loader, who is leader in the full sen.se of the word, backed by a Liberal House at Ottawa, with a subslaiilial work ing majority—a combination that insures an uninterrupted application of Liberal principles to government al affairs and a conlinual carrying out of Liberal policies. Its 'great- est significance and importar.ee is the fact that it is a guarantee of another period of stable business and industrial development. This will be evinced at once by the ac- tion of the stock markets, by the readiness with which capital will en- ter upon new undertakings. A Bor- den election w-ould have cast a blight upon business; there would have been much hesitation and reluctance among business men and capitalists to venture new’ iuvcstmeius or to carry pn established business on a largo ,^ale.

The liatier iieriods of llie Borden campaign were not Calculated to con- firm a belief in that conservatism that was early his most prominent characteristic. Borden’s election w'ould have badly shaken 'ôonfi- deiice, it would have caused doubts as to the stability of a people who having so much that is good and desirable still saw lit to change. Now, however, everything is to be as it has been for eight years past —or eve-n Ixitter. The policy of tlie Liberal party that has brought Canada to a jxisition of industrial' and commercial greatness will -be continued without any aiter^ition, unless a Liberal House and Laurier in their wisdom shall sec fit to change certain schedules. A dollar will continue to good for one hundred cents the world over ; Sir Wilfrid Laurier will coiitinue to win diplomatic triumphs, the construc- tion of the 'Urand Trunk X?acific will be pushed by a sympathetic administration ; various schemes of internal imurovemeut to which the Liberal party is wcddcfl will be car- ried out ; trusts will oe regul xtcd( w’horever they constitute menace to the public w’clfare ; fraud will be heavily punished. w lierever it is found to have crept into depart- mental administration ; abroad the dignity of Canada Will be up'Tield by a wise firmness in all matters of Canadian ixilicy ; at homo the) majesty of the law will be main- tained. All this will be accom- plished by Sir Wilfrid J.aurier and his Liberal administration.

If. as not unlikely, thousand.s of voters went to the polls on t he 3rd of Nov. with their minds <Iw'elling on the scandalous and dreadful charges pr(??errcd by Borden and his follow'crs -against Laurier and -his' faithful Cabinet, the outcome is doubly a X>auricr victory. It is a vindication and an acquittal before the court of highest appeal.

I.EVF;t b/::UTI]KRS ÏT'SîTTLD, TOUUNX'O. Oa

The fattening of cattle is car- ried on uuder such widely uiCfcrcnt circiinistancc.s that it is impossibIe( to lay down any hard and fast rujcs, and say that th*sc arc i'igut and all others wrong. There arc, however, three conditions essential to success in the stciil feeding of cattle, viz., good cattio, an aban- dunce of cheap winter feed, and good management.

Fiftoon or twenty years ago the cattle required lor the export trade w'ore the, Jicavy four and five year old steers weighing liOO to 180U pounds. At that time quantity, not qu.iliiy, was in demand. To-day we tincl Liiat compact, Avell-finisbed two Mild three year old animals weigh- ing from 1250 i>ourjds ux' will com- mand the hignes't prices. Of course, if weight can be combined with quality fio much the botter, but qualiiy is of first imiKji^ance. From the butcher's point of view, the siccr of best quality is the one which carries the igreatesl percent- age of its \v'ci.glu in those iiarls oT the carouse which give the highest priced cul*s. in ilie Cliica- go ami New Ylork inarKcts, the, most diiciiminatiiig in the worlds the rib and loin cuts couiinand over four tipies the av€rP«ge price paid for the remainder of the carcase, and it is apparent that .the primo beef animal must be good in these- parts. They must be thickly and- e\'cnly covered with firm yet mellow flesli of uniform good quality and free alike from haid rolls and blub- bery patches. Course, patchy animals will no long'or be tolerated, much less tliosc that arc bony and bar-c of fiesh on the back and ribs.

In addition to the general beef form, with good backs, ribs and loins, there is, says the eminent American authority, I’rof. uurtiss, a certain quality, character, style and, finisJi that constitute an important factor in determining the value of beef cattle. One of .the first indica tions of this is to 'be found in tha skin and coat. A good feeding ani- m.xl should have :;a soft, mellow touch and soft but thick and heavy coat. A harsh, unyielding skin is an indication of a sluggish circulation' and low' digestive \x)wers. A clear, prominent yet placid eye, clean-cut features, fire horn, and clean, fine bone all go to indicate good feeding quality and capacity to take on afin ish of the highest excellence, and con scqucntly to command top prices. Coarse boned, rough animals arc al- most invariably slow' feeders and hard to finish properly. Besides these qualities, and alxjve all, it is neces- sary to have vigor and constitution. ■\Ve find evidence of these in a wide forclicad, a prominent brisket, broad chest, ’W’G.’l sprung ribs, full heart girth and a general robust appear-; a nee.

Wall tlio proper beef type in mind, it will not be difficult to rcco'gnize a suitab’.e stocker. To findf him is a more difticull mutter. Ow- ing langely to the great expansion of the duir^' business during tho past fifteen fifieen or twenty years, it is becoming more and more dif- ficult to procure good stockers for feeding. To get saLisfactory animals a farmer is almost compelled to breed Ills own. In case he docs so, too much importance cannot be at- tached to the selection of the sire. It' should never be forgotten that he is half the herd. Good grade COW'S arc all right to breed from, but tlic bull should always be pure- bred. It is poor economy to save fifty cents or a dollar in the first cost of tlic calf, and lose from ten to fifteen dollars wJien the finished animal is market..' Besides this, the price at which, purebred bulls can be obtained in these days leave no excuse for the use of an inferior animal.

An abundant supx>ly of cheap feed, is es.sential to success in winter feeding. Wc can no lodger finish our cattle on a ration pC iiav and grain with any.jnargin of profit. We must have something that can be growm in large quaniiiies and at a very small cost, and corn -ensil- age fills the bill, it is beyond doubt 'the best and cheapest winter feed at our disiiosul. The chief advantages of eiisUago are its great palatability, the saving of la- bor which it LTfecls, and the fact that it can be fed at any time of the year with equal satisfaction. Wiule corn hold first place as a cneao winter foéd, it has no mono- pui.v of the ‘'field. The farmer who grows a large * quantity of grain, ana nas consequently an abundant' u i ij of' straw', will find that by

growing a quantity of roots to feedi with it can fatten cattle at a very reasonable cost. Field' roots have a tcüüing value apart from the digest imc nulrients whicli they conti,iin, in Uiat they exercise a beneficial eiicci upon the digestion and gên- erai aeiilih. Cattle tiiat rccidve lib- eral ratioriis of succulent feed, such •as roots and ensilage, will h-.ivc the. sleek, thrifty appearance of grass fed cattle, and there will be little trouble with digestion of having them go off tlieir feed, as is oftcni the case w'ith cattle that are fcdi ciclusively on dry fodder and grain.

The grain ration depends so large ly on ciroumistanccs that it will not be discussed hero. It is alwny.s well, however, to commence with a com- paratively light ration and .finish with the more concentrated grains. Water and salt sliouki always be within easy reach, and tlic cattle should be kept free from lice by the use of some of the ijropricUiry dips, or even ordinary black oil, which is perhaxis as chc-'j-p and ef- fective as anything cTse.

A wliitc doii -ivas “iillcd last week near Casseliman. (

rcrh.-.iis a more delightful dear- hunting season has not existed 'for many a year than the one just clos cd. The u-cathcr was all that could be desired and lovers of the cha.se were not in the least handicapped by its inclemency. That redoubtable quartette pC Cassclman hunters known as the Boyle-ijakcr-Cassel- man partj-, consisting of Ur. Boyle, «Chas. Baker, Thiomas Baker, and' Charlie Cassclman kept ftp to their' usual record this sea.son, each hav ing 'to his credit two fine speci- mens of the antlered species. On Saturday (last while ' hunting in xvhat is kn'own as “'The Bog,’ soma four or five miles fiast of Cassel- man, they w-erc extraordinarily for- tunate, besides shooting one of the largest Imcks ever taken in that vicinity of late years, they also .se- cured a beautiful doC;. A white deer is considered a very rare animal' and well may liis party indulge in a pardonable pride upon their good fortune and success, notwithstanding the fact that the killing of a white doe carries with it that old-time legend of “ill-luck to the hunter whose rifle guides the shot.’

The white doc is to be sent to' the city to be mounted and will be added to tho many trophies' ci a member of the party.

Tokio, Nov. 22.—During the bon bardment of Port Arthur on Satui day night from the fort captured cJ Sung Shoo Mountain, shells froi| the Japanese naval guns exploded Russian magazine near the centra arsenal, setting fire the adjoinin buildings, and undoubtedly causin great loss of life to the Russian solcj iers in the camp between the niogal ino and arsenal. The Imperial head quarters of tho magazine, publishes despatch from General Nogi’s head quarters, dated Sunday morning, il which he says;

"Our operations against all th forts not already captured are pro cceding as prearranged from Man churian headquarters. Wc have shell ed tho Russian infantry, which wa engaged in trenching east of Rihlin^ Mountains, and also the infantry il tho rear of the pillages betweci Quail Hill and Orlung fort, causinj them to floe in confusion. Thi breeches made on the westerly side o[ Port Arthur have boon widened, anil our gunfire has put the Russian war* ships out of action. Several of then are badly damaged. In other diroc tions there is no change to note.’’

It is unoincially reported hero thaï the Japanese successfully mined th most easterly point of the Etze Hil on Friday, which will permit theii naval guns to have free play on the Tiger Hill Peninsula, and make it impossible for the Russian warshij to remain in Port Arthur harbor, This is not confirmed at Imperial Headquarters, but there may bq strategic reasons for announcing thd signal gain by General Nogi’s army]

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Mr. Whitney l>eigins his manitcstd with a peroration. It is as topsyJ t;urvy as his political course. (

At Monday’s Cabinet Council, it was decided that Parliament should be summoned to meet on January 11th. . . I

The Conservative “contoreune’ was only a weak imitation ol the Liberal convention, and everybody knows what value to place on imitations.

Sir Elzcar Taschereau, Chief .Tus-, tice of the Supreme Court of Can- ada, was on Monday sworn in as administrator pending the arrival of Earl Grey, the new Governor-Gen. eral of Canada.

In tlic absence of more seats for the Government to win at the pre- sent 'time Mr. Forget, the Indepon. dent member for Charlevoix, thinks it an opportune time for him to announce that he will give the laurier Government an independent apport. Next.

Our Coniservativc friends are counting chickens before they are hatched in the matter of the ex- pected overthrow of tlic Ross Gov- ernment. That may be a pleasant sort of amusement, but it gener. ally proves unprofitable as a matter of business. i

The Montreal Star is the hood.ao of the Conservatives in Eastern Canada, ft undertook to organize Nova Scotia, with the result that not a Conservative member was elected in that province and Leader Borden was defeated. The Star's flop to Toryism has been fatal to that party.

The attendance was very largo and the enthusiasm marked. Dele- gates, candidate, and siKa ker.s dis- played an air of optimism that augurs well for the success of the Liberal candidate, Mr. McMillan, who is a young man, .111 -iggres- sivo fighter, and deservedly popular not only with Libérais, but also with the rank and tile of Conser- vatives. Each linil everyone or the other gentiemen named would make splendid candidates, and were fully deserving of the measure of coii- fidenco displayed in them by the Convention, not only by their past services to the party, but al.so by their 'withdrawing in favor of Mr. McMillan and assuring him of their loyal support. Such is the true spirit of Liberalism’. ,

The speeches of the several gen- tlemen who addressed the mcciing were businos.s-iike in tone. They reviewed what the Liberals had done for Ontario 'and what their policy was for the future. They did not offer a prospectus, but a record.

The Conservatives convened on Monday. The crowd wa.s small. The enthusiasm missed conneolion, but not so with their supply of abuse. The text from which each one Spoke was “Turn The Rascals Out, and Let Us ;In.’ Not one at- tempted to disclose tvliat Mr. Whit- ney’s policy would be should Mr. Ross be defeated. .[I'his evidently is a secret, that has not yet e.scapcdi Mr. Whitney himself. And not one

Sailed to cry “corruption.’ This is nothing new, as it is but the echo of Mr. Whitney’s voice of righ- teo'us (i) indignation. True, the Lib oral party is not pure, but its re- cord stands out in pleasing contrast to that of the Conservative party.

We say that it r.hcre arc wrong doers in the Liberal party, let them: be severely punished as such tac- tics arc in oppxisition to • the prin- ciiilcs of Liberalism, but for iioii- ticat exiles to demand the tho- rough renovation of their neigh- bors’ house 'ueforc even taking a look at the filth which are the principal adornments of their own abode, does not engender a fooling in the public that they arc trust- worthy Tiousckecpors.

We again repeat, punish law breakers just as Gus. foil or. Con- servative M.P., was punished, and let Us 'have public issues di.scussed in a statesmanslike way.

Mr. McTjCod, the Conservative can didate, is a gentleman. He fought a good square fight in t90£. and we trust that such w'iil be the case in IDt'l, as Mr. McMillan has placed himself on record that he will fight the contest tree from personalities or any oilier weapon unbecoming a canoidatc for parlia- mentary honors.

This is a commendable move, and we feel confident one with which Mr. McLeod will agree.

McMillan for Glengarry.

The last time the Li’oorals met in convention in Toronto they were de- aeribed by the Mail as in “search of cheap whiskey -and cigars and sadly in need of a bath.’

On this occasion, believing discre- tion the better part of valour, re- frained from openly insulting the delegates who were in attendance.

The Conservative “funk’ in Que- bec is enabling the' Liberals to use discrimination in the sc'eciion of candidates which should work to the advantage of the party well as to the province. Mr. Speaker Rainville has liecn fumed down in one of the divisions of Montreal because of ms being a'n advocate of the Montreal Heat uifd Power Co., a imwcrlul organization securing undue powers at the hands of the. Legislature. He only received thir- teen votes out of many hundreds in the Liberal convention, and his defeat by a substantial majority is Anticipated.

It is said that some half dozen “switch’ ballot boxes were found in a certain house in "West Hastings( during the campaign. These false boxes are said to have been brought in from the United states under the name beehives. The Dominion Government 'dost no lime in ap- pointing a lawyer to hold an in- vestigation and detectives Jo hunt up information, and it js promised that it there was any attempted fraud of this kind the guilty i>ar- tics will be punished. The Govern ment take every precaution in the distribution of their ballot boxes, and to attempt to substitute false boxes for the genuine ones Is a fraud on the Government and the, prompt investigation shows a pro- per. appreciation of the outrage.

From a general survey of the àtuation wo should say that tha Manitoba Conservatives bave taken their defeat wdth worse grace than' their brethren elsewhere. There is ai reason for this. Knowing that the lists favored them to the extent of some three or four thousand votes they exiiected to defeat the Liberals all along the line in the province; and the Roblin Government took charge of the contest because they believed that the resulting triumph would add to their prestige. The. result has l>een a sore disappoint-. ment to them. They have been Kouodly whipped despite their advan tage In the matter of the lists. tVith absolutely fair lists the Lib- erals would have got another scat in M.initoba at least; and that might have swept the province. ' The Tam- many ring who arc at present in charge of affaire in Manitoba are' naturally disconcerted at the state of public opinion revealed by the election.—WinniiKjg Free Press.

AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION

Canada has no more generous friend of education than Sir Wil- liam Macdonald. In a quiet unosten tious way he has already donated to educational instiluLions sums amounting ito millions of dollars. Now another large portion of iiis great fortune is to be devot'id to original 'research and the interest^ of higher education as it affects agriculture. Sir William could hard ly have devoted 'hîs wealth to a better purpose. The d'iys of haji- hazard farming, when it was pos- sible +0 profitably produce a crop by the mere turning of the soil and planting the seed, are gone. World wide competition requires that the successful farmer _ to-day must make his farm produce "Iiie limit of its capacity. He can no longer be satisfied to put the seed in the ground and be content with the increase. By intelligent se- lection of seeds and a knowledge of the constituents of the soil IK mu.st be able to make the soil, in a sense, do his bidding. He must know wnat crops are best- suited to hi.s fields, fertilizers arc best suited to his sev- eral crops, what succc.ssion of crops are best calculated 'to conserve the fertility of his goil. He must know how to care for his live stock, how ,1;^i make the greatest gains in weight with a minimum of cost of food. If a dairy-mail ho must know what cows by 'their output at the pail are earning their keep, and know how to breed for the im- provement of h'ls stock and the con- servation of stamina. AH this calls for research, constant study and education. In providing a means to acquire the knowledge Sir William is doing his countrymen a service not computable in money value, and gcneiallons to come will have cause for thankfulness that he directed his wealth to so wort'uy a purpose.

Details of Sir ^William's plans have jjot been made public, but it goes without sayiri'g that the institu- tion will bo modern in all its ap- pointments ’and adequate to meet all requirements. That it will serve a highly -useful purpose in assured by- the selection ot Prof. Robert- son, than whom there is no more able agriculturist in America, to perfect its organization and direct its course.—Montreal Herald.

Dr. Hugo’s Tablets Are Not Merely a Stimulant.

They Absolutely Cure All the Ills of Women.

It is easy to make a medicine which will cause apparent imme- diate benefit.

Some distribute samples that will do this. Drugs are used to suppress the symptoms as mor- phine or a bromide will do. Other drugs are used to exuberate the patient for a little.

Dr. Hugo’s Health Tablets fof women are not intended to simply relieve while being taken, neither are they a mere stimulant. They arc pot intended to lead women to believe that they are being helped, while really they are being de- ceived by the effect of alcohol and drugs.

When they stop taking such remedies their condition is wors« èVmn.

Women Like a Horse. The alcohol or drugs in these

preparations act exactly like a whip on a tired and run-down horse. He has not much life ot amhition, and the whip is used as a stimulant and makes him go. The woman uses one of these pre- parations, which stimulates her and keeps her going. At the end of a day’s work, with the effect gone, the horse is a little worse off tlian in the morning, because under the stimulus he did work he was really not fitted to do.

And so with the woman. The horse requires conditloa

powders, not a whip. The woman requires not a stimulant, but a

remedy to tone up her system and restore the weakened vitak forces, and thereby give her new life and \isor.

Effects of Drug Remedies The ultimate effect of these

drug remedies is given in the magazine called “Health” in these words :—

“ The day will never come when a rational reason can be given for administering to a sick person what would kill one in health. Every dose of such a drug ad- ministered to a patient is at the expense of her vitality, and sooner or later the penalty for outraging nature will be exacted. Nature is an inexorable creditor, and it .is impossible to evade payment.”

Dr. Hugo’s Health Tablets ,.foj Women contain no such ingre^ dients. Nothing for quiclt effect alone. Nothing to simply stimu-| late. They are the remedy of a great and good physician. They make a permanent and lasting cure of the ills of women, and there is no honest medicine in the world that acts so quickly.

To prove our statement requires the taking of just one box. The expense is small, the result ia great

EcIIevillc, Nov. 22.—Mr. B. O. Lott wa.s arre.stc(l yesterday by Inspector Chamberlain on a warrant charging him with conspiracy. Mr. Lott, who refuses to siK'ak as to the cliarge, was arrested on a train at Central Ontario .hinction on his return from a (leer-hunting trip. Application for bail was in.adc last evening before I^olice Magistrate Flint and County Attoi’ney Anderson. ' Mr. Anderson agreed to accept substantial bail in two sureties of !?1,000 each.

it is understood that an investi- gation has been begun into the liogus ballot-lioxcs said to have been used in Frontenac in nine subdivisions.

Hon. J. M. Gibson Speaks.

Hamilton, Nov. 22.—A very enthu- siastic gathering of the members of the Liberal Association of this city was held .last night, at the Ihcad-

HON. J. M. GIBSOK

quarters in Arcade Hall. The oc- ca.sion was the annual meeting, and the turnout was largo,

Hon. J. M. Gibson, Attorney-Gen- eral, gave an address that was im- portant. He said ho was becoming a little weary of political life, and wiiilst ho might not take as active a part in public affairs as ho ha<i done, ho intended to stick to the Premier, the Hon. Geo. W. Ross. After fifteen years of being a member of tho Gov- ernment ho had desired to bo relieved of his portfolio. Tho Premier had desired him to remain with him with- out portfolio, and he had consented to do so. Ho hoped to bo of some use for a while yet to tho Govern- ment, and to tho Province which he had served for the past 25 years. Ho and other members of tho Govern- ment tliought now blood should bo introduced, and ho wished to statu that no member of the Ministry was being displaced by tho Government or the people. They had acted solely on their own motion, in tho belief tliat it would do good to give some of tho younger men, who were able and willing to serve tho Province, an o]>l)ortunity to advance to the posi- tions held for a long, time by those now retiring. Mr. Gibson entered on something of a defence of his own course, and said he had never ob- tained anything from the Government for tho corporations with which 'he was connected that any other man or corporation could not have got.

Referemce to Gamey.

Mr> Gibson touched on Gamey. Ho referred to the fact that the Judges in tho celebrated trial had ordered Gamey out of .the witness box, br<- cause they had found him not a credible witness. “Is this the man,” said he, “on whoso testimony you are going to convict a Minister of tho Crown, whoso record for faithful, painstaking industry is ono to be proud of?" He referred to tho West Elgin case, and said tho Liberal party was not responsiblo for the ir- regular, culjjable and reprehensible acts in connection with that case. The Liberal party had been accused of burning the ballots, but the Con- servative papers did not-tell tho pub- lic that the burned ballots had boon discovered inadvertently and by mis-

' take., while old ballots were being burned in the regular way,i The Gov- ernment was not given a chance to prosecute in the West Elgin case, bc- Ciiu.se the Opposition party had ta'x- en the matter out of their hands and bad failed to establish a case. No man could be prosecuted twice for the .same offence.

Boi^us Ballot Box Case.

Judge Snider Decide» the Case in F.-lTor of E. I>. Smith.

Hamilton, Nov. 22.—Judge Snider, who reserved his judgment in the North Won^-orth recount case from Saturday until yesterday, decided in favor of E. D. Smith, tho Conserva- tive Candidate. Seale.y's original ma- jority of twenty had been reduced to fifteen, and the ballots of ono divi- sion, Valons, were in dispute, because the returning officer numbered each one according to the figures on the polling list, thus destroying tho se- crecy of the ballot. There were twen- ty-five ballots altogether, and it was decided to throw them out, thus electing Smith. Counsel for Smith cited similar Cases, such as tho Su- premo Court's decision in the Both- well case and Justice Armour’s de- cision in East Hastings in 1878.

Montreal, Nov. 22.—Ex-Crown Pro- secutor J. P.

Tho original hear- ing lasted nearly 20 days, and cost each side about $20,000. Since then a royal commission was appointed to enquire into Mr. Cooke's conduct in tho matter, whose report is now be- fore tho provincial Attorney-General, Hon. Horace Archambault. Yester- day morning Mr. Cooke’s counsel an- nounced that ho would not proceed with tho case. In view of tho matter being dealt with by the royal com- mission.

THE OUTLOOK IN ONTARIO The Braiuford Kx^xisUor in

ijretty comprchoiisivc icvluw ol iho ,c;u;cl'Ook In Ontario, lias this lo say ;

To bc^gin with, on ilie adniinisira- tivc Side the record ol the .Liberal party in this province is one which must elicit the commendation of Till who give any dirention to t he science of good Government.

The finances have been handled with exceptional skill, so much so that notwithstanding tiie increasing demands which have h<jen made upon the Vrovincial Treasury by reason of our steady development, the prov- ince is in the unique position among all states or provinces of I’lcing witli- out a dollar 'bi liabiiitic-s ly payable, and with a- ■surplus <;T as- sets over all liabilities cJ probably a million and a half of dollars. What is still more imjiortnnt, and wluit sliou'.d never 1xi forgotten, is Hint the provincial funds have been hon- estly administered, and Uiat no scandaIis have arisen in connection therewith.

Everywhere, clficiepcy is to be seen. Our educational iustiLulions arc models for other countries, our asylums, etc., are in hiosL capable hands and are more economicaUy managed tJian similar establisimienis in the United States, while the De- partment of i\gricuLturc, in charge of Hon. John Dryden, is undoubtedly superior to any dcinirtment of the kind on the continent. Dqua! ef- ficiency has also been shown in the handling of our crown lands, as shown by the revenues derived there from compared with the Cores', rev- enues of sister pi'ovincos, and the precautions which have, been taken to preserve this valuable and almost inexhaustabl'C sources of i-evenae. Al- liudiiig to the forest reserves, Tlic fToronio News, no friendly critic of the Government, a few days ago, said ::

“Hon. E. J. Davis, whose intended retirement from public life at the end of the present legislative term is announced, leaves behind him one of the best monuments that has been erected during tho third of a cen- tury the Liberal party has held power in this province. This .monument is the forest reserves which have been set apart for the purjiose of sui>- plying tho people of Ontario wiih mcrchaiuable timber for all lime to come. The creation ot tnese /c- scrvesw.as a piece of really .stnte.s- manlikc policy, and generations yet to come will Iiavc reason for grati- tude because of the Uiauguration Of tills policy'.’ ;

The yirogrcssive policy of the Government has also been one to command admiration. While the Conservatives liavc sneered at New Ontario, the Liberals have made known to the world its riches in ar- able lands, in timber ünd in miner- als. and have steadily developed it. Its puipwood resources have been made available, and several conces- sions have already Viceii granted, notable among them beingtlaosc at the “Soo’ and at Sturgeon Falls. The Liberal party lias also had a vigorous railroad policy, which in- cludes the construction ofagovern- ment-o\\ncd railway from North Bay to a point of connection with the Grand Trunk Pacific, and aid to such deserving enterprises as the James Bay road, the Algoma Central and the Canadian Northern, in very few instances have cash bonuses been given, the aid taking the form of grants oi: land which would other- wise be worthless and being accom- panied by rigid settlement ebndi- tions.

The great electrical development which is being made at Niagara J.s also something for which the Gov- ernment deserves credit, provision bo ing made for augmenting the pro- vincial revenues lo the extent of nciirly Ïp3üO,üÜU, while Mr Vv'hitncy and his colleagues lia ve dc(dared ihatj tlic i^owcr sliould Ixi made as “free as air.’ In other words, that the compajiies should liave it for uo- ing.

The grant of $1,000,000 for the im provement of the public highways of which 'many counties have already- taken advantage, is an original, and striking place of legislation, as‘is al-

so the granting of $125,000 for Uie cinccuragement of the beet root su- gar industry.

Then, above all, the motto, “Can- ada first, last and always,’ has been steadily in mind, in evidence of which, we have the measures taken to i>rc- vent the export of s^iwiogs,puipwood, hemlock and tanbark, and the re- quirement bf all subsidized railways and of the government-owned road that all supplies shall be purchased in Canada.

As regards Labor, the Provin- cial legislation has been kept fully up to date, and Uie measures of this class £or?n a geod-sized volume. Ameng *the moic recent additions arc a simple act of arbitration and conciliation ^'hlch has time and again been successfully invoked, and the act putting an end to the sweating' system on all public works.

Noc have the municipalities b-icn forgotten, in evidence of which wc have the recent consolidation of the Municipal Act, and tho new Assess- ment act by which tjie Busincs.s Tax is substituted for tlic objectionable personality taxation.

Tho J/iberal parly, in sliort, shown ■ itself to be a party liiat <loes things, white the Conservative parity thus far has shown ilselC to be a party of more negation and of continual somersaulting.

From tills very imperfect summary of its performances, it will Iwe seen that t ho Koss government, so far as It’S ...id.minisiration is concerned, can appeal with perfect confidence to the eicetorate and can perfectly claim’ that until its opponents have shown their ability to construct seme tangible policy tlicy sliould not be cntrusled with office. It is not safe to exchange constructive states manship for destructive state.sman-

■Shii>. Tiiero I’cmaius only to be considered

and that briefly, the charges of cor- rupt practices at elections, which’ have been made against 'the govern- ment. or against 'some of it.s mi.s- guldcd followers. For these, to the extent that they have been shown to have an existance, and liave not been 'manufactured in Buffalo, no apology 'can be oïfcred. On tho other hand it is only fair to l>car in mind that the general elections have been kept free from scandal, and that tlic abuses which have crept into byc-electiori contests are» the undoubted outcome of the close ness of parties. It will be neces- sary, before Mr. Whitney and his assccialcs arc given any advantag»> in this matter, to show tha.f .their own skirts arc clear, and more es- peciaJly to disconnect themselves from one K. H. Gainey, who stands self-convicted cf almost every conceivable business, and is known to cherish the ambition of holding a seat in a Conservative cabinet.

The Lilieral part^' has shown its eagerness to strengthen and jiurify its ranks, to perfect its ^wlicy, and to continue the splendid work it ha^s done in behalf of the province. Tho iConservalive party, on the other hand, stands lielplcssly and aimlessly by, devoid of capable Teadershii) or of tangible policy, and ready to re- sort to any device and to keep any kind of company for the purposo of -gettipig office.

Such are the real facts of the po- litical situation as It now ex.ist.s in Ontario, and thus considered tlio outlook for the Ross Government is a most encouraging one, and affords no indication of an early change cf administration.

UNCLE JOB’S THANKSGIVING TURKEY a soft •‘b’oroverinoro !” waiLs Mrs. Tom. ■‘How provoking !’ crias Mrs. Hick. 'I3uu tlicn, lie’s reported jich,”(

asserts Mrs. Harry, "and if that is the case it’s assuredly one of those eases that circu,msiances al'tcr won- derfully.” 1

“1 don't believe he’s a rich man, for one,” affirms Mrs. Tom, look- ing ructuily at the letter an her hand. “Why, when I wrote to Uncle Job—of all the names I do detest, “Job’ comes first—when'I wrote and ever so tlclicately hinted that I’d swallow my prejudices”—

“Aterrible indigestible mass you'd find ’em, Bel I”

—“and name I’Lantageuet ‘Job’ if it would be to the boy’s interest later in lif^ what do you, think, he said ?”

“Don’t ask me. ‘What did he say ?”

“His answer was terse enough and brief enough to be riasily re- membered. He wrote: '“Dear Niece, Pray do not saddle upon your son a name 1 never should have chosen for myself had I had the smallest choiee in the matter. If you must call him from some Bib- lical personage, 1 should suggest Malhalalcel as a cognomen eupho-s niotrs enough to harmonizee well with our family name; and, believe me, Niece Isabel, he will have just as much of my good will when I die, if that is your desire, as if he had been named after, your affec- tionate uncle.

Job Altick. “Of course, he’s as jioor as po-

vei'ty' then. Boll. Poor people arc always the witty ones, with sharp answers ever ready at tongues’ or pens’ points. One of us or shall wo take turns? will be sure to have old ^Uncle Job foisted upon us, and if it wasn’t for those heavy mort- gages Harry has fo clear .off 4JX the spring, he wouM not mind, I know, one entra mouth to feed.”

“And if I had an eatra bedroom to spare !” says Mrs. Dick.

“And if I had an extia couple of servants !” whines Al.rs. Tom. “'To bo sure, it I could be certain that he was a wealthy man, it would make a vast difference, and for the chil- dren’s sake”—

“What a sordid sister-in-law X have, to be sure !” laughs Mrs. Harry. “Speaking of the children, Bel, .how is Plant’s love affair cbm' ing on ?”

“It isn’t on at all, Kulh • its off — and forever, 1 hope.”

“Bel Altick, what do you mean ?” “I mean that ho shall never marry

her, and neither you nor Tom nor (j(otu(proposed heiress can keep him' from it. Nan’s worth a dozen Gaen dolines”— I

“Then Tom Wiill disinherit him, and, though he's my dwn son, I shall not blame his father.”

“You Iiard hearted, mcrcenory woman !” cries Mrs. Hariy, moving toward the door. “How you can de- liberately go to work to break the heart of so good a son as Plant Altick I cannot comprehend. Good morning, Bel—if you think it’s good •-.seems to me if I .jvere you I’d be obliged to taste the bitter of too many selfish reflections to en- joy it much.” And the hall door closes with a bang between the sis- ters-inrlaw.

Days, weeks and mont'ns pass by, and there is no outward showing of the presumptive wealth of Professor Attic. Save U penny now and then to |ho smaller fry of the Altick family, he has never shown to them the color of his mony, and as he lives simply and indulges sparingly in life’s luxuries, he is at length accounted an eccentric individual of small means, and left religiously alone.

Alone and uncared for—that is, if ■wo except the little friendly “run- nings in” of Plnntagenet, his grand inephewf who has taken to -the gentle old man from the first, and who is never weary of hearing of the Professor’s late trip to the pe- trified tree tract of Arizona, or looking at the rare specimens so carefully collected, for Uncle Job is a learned geologist and has Writ- ten several remarkable trealises on the subject, his “Sermons in Stones” having been adopted as a textbook in tnany coUegea.

And from stones Plantagenet easily leads the conversation to scarcely loss adamantine subjects—the hearts of his • unyielding parents—for, cold, calculating and worldly, they have softened not one whit under the warmth of Pèantagcnet’s young love, and it is Uncle Job who un- jconsoiously encourages him in his grim determination to brave the ire of his parents and mari-y his sweet Nan in the teeth of all opposition.

And Bo they are quietly married— P'lah’tkgenet "Altick and Nanette Gray'—and go to housekeeping to a pretty little cottage in a pretty sulv urb some miles from the splendid city home of his father.

Uncle Job, who has begun a new work on geology, shuts himself up in his third story back room’ and allows the world without to wag as it 'will. I ' ' <

■And it soon ..begins to wag in a very cheerless manner for the two wedded .voung folks.

But • though shut out from' one loved paradise, he had bis Nan—his dear, little, brave ^’an, who smiles through great unshed tears ui>on him, when suddenly she meets his sorrowful gaze after many a long quarter of an hour's silent rclros Ipection.

“Oh, it must come right soon. Plant. —they never would shut you out of their lives forever !”

“You don’t know them,” mutters the boy. ;

“I’m pretty well acquainted with you, dear, and it any father or mo- ther could treat such a son as you arc so scurvily—there, that’s an ugly word, I know. Plant, 'but it’s the i-ight .one to use jii this instance —all I have to say is that they don’t deserve such a good child — there!” and two pretty arms, bar- ed j.X3 the cllxjw^ for kitchen' fconw ve'mence, find their fond way dbo'uï

the hcck of her chosen lord. Her chosen lord smilc.s faintly at

this speech, and tries ile.sporatcly to' rally his drooping spiriis.

It was a very humble iiosition' that the college prod Plantagenet Altick found himself obliged to ac- cept to keep the little house go- ing—the only position open to him' when he, beside hinisclf with a just indignation at an unreasonable oji- position and a great and absorbing love, broke bounds amt besought the faithful Nan to leave her iiosition as governess in a wealthy family and share his five-roomed ..callage and his meagre salary.

Nan, too used to poverty to let it frighten her, and imagining', inno- cent soul, that no one could long be angry at so dear a buy as Plant, consented, and the borne coming though a lonesome little affair, brought with it happiness enough to lust a fortnight at least.

Then plantagenet saw that there was to be no relenting on the part of those he loved and reverenced with all the strength of his looyish nature, and his grief grew greater with cveiy passing hour. 'To crown all, h“ had lost his ixisiiion tlio scconel week in the November fol- lowing ownng to the insolvency of the firm by which he ho.d been em- ployed, and, though they had given him splendid recommendalioiis, there is no Iiosition easily obtaioable.

One morning a stray thought, find ing its way from out that great, mysterious Silence so full of untried possibilities, comes to him suddenly and sends him upon .its own little errand straight to Uncle Job.

Up a long flight of float stairs, up a short back flight, and several knocks upon a door’s panel cause it to open and discover to "young Al- tick a room littered with papers,, books, trays of siiecimens and two or three voi'umcs of Hugh Miller.

“Good morning. Uncle 'Jobl” “How d’ye do, PlaniagcucL ?” “I do miserably, thank you, sir.

Uncle Job, I've lost my position, and —and if I could help you in any way-copying or the like—1 write a tolerably decent hand, sir, and 1 theugbt perhaps you’d like to hire me”—

“No—no—no. Not even though you’re a‘Talc fellow well met.’ I’d not trust you with them ! Not a sou! save myself shall do a line of writing on these particular manu- scripts. .What’s the matter ?”

“Firm I worked lor failed.” “Humph ! How’s Nan ?” “How should she be? Happy and

joyous as befits a bride—the bride of a man shut out from home, and who has not a red cent in his pocket ! Heaven knows ivhere to- morrow’s broad ana butter will com© from I”

“And it won’t tell. It's a sort of ha'oit it has got into, you see, about being sort ot mysteriouS| over the ends it has in view. BjUt there, you may sort out the numbered pages for me from among the litter yonder, and we’ll see about the bread and butter for to- morrow. To-morrow is 'Thursday— bless jnc, boy, it’s Thanksgiving. ’

“Thanksgiving ! So it is. Thanks- giving.” ..

“Your tone of voice would sug-' gest that you’d the dearest little wife in the world to be thankful for. Shame upon you, my nephew. There. I’m not a rich ihan, as rich men. 'hut take this bill to Nan and tell her It’s from her 'Uncle Job."’

Late upon this same afternoon. Professor Altick, basket on arm, goes from griocer to butcher shop, in- tent upon his purchase of a Thanks giving turkey. 'The fowl he means to buy he will offer to his nep- hews in turn, feeling sure that he who accepts it will, no doubt, ask him to share their dinner, be if Tom, Dick or Harry, or 'Tom’s dis- obedient son. With an unmistakablo grin ot amusement, the dealer "in poultry places a very thin, very poor, very blue about the breast-c bone, tow priced turkey iu Uncle Job’s basket.

Early Thanksgiving morning the old professor starts out through the cold, uncertain sunlight that shines fitfully through the rifts of liurry- ing, windswept clouds, and, basket on arm finds his way to Thomas Altick’s elegant home. He rings and is A.dmittod. i'

“Good morning. Uncle Job. Any» thing I can do for you ’..his morn- ing ?” \

“No, Thomas, Jhank you. It’s semothing I want to do for you. I chanced to remember it was 'Thanks giving—very odd indeed, my remem- bering it—and I bought you a tur- key. Will you have it, Thomas?” and out comes the old gentleman’s sad little specimen gî the gen'US' melcagris gallopavo.

It is too much for 'Lpm Altick. With a laugh that fetches Mrs. 'Tom' quickly from an adjoining room and provokes her to join in its hearty roulades, lie declines 'the poor ïowl with thanks, with a sure.ism veiled so lightly that the ugly foa'.,urcsof a rude and insolent nature shine full upon poor Uncle Job.

Quietl'y he replaces tile turkey within the basket, quietly ho takas his hat and gloves, and as qu'ietly,i with a brief “good-day,” be. -leaves the house of his nephew Thomas.

As for Richard Altick. he “roars amain’ and has the turka;, he haS

'■purchased for his own dinner brought up into the very parlor that he may place it “odious com- parison’ beside the small fry in Uncle Job’s basket. Again rebuffed, the ojd gentleman bids Mrs. Dick and her laughing husband .good day and finds his way to the house off the youngest of his three nephews.

It is the same thing over again, save that Henry AUick’s refusal to accept the wizened bird is more politely veiled. Gentle 'Mr.s. Harry even makes furtive little signs. of acceptance to her courteous hus- band, but that individual, secretly enjoying the comicrtl side of the af- fair too much to notice the ficr- tcrce stealthy.-signals of his. wife, alToTvs poor Uncle Job to ‘.ak*e his

wares to the other maits;. I Through Nan's kilehon door comeS ’

the sweet sound of her singiii-g. ; Plantagenet has found a new [josi- ’ tioii. Uncle Job has given them a - “liver' to start on. a litlic fat f.tu' ; key is on the table b.’.fore her, j awaiting its fragrant dressing, and lifa h,IS seemed brighter t bis'Ttianks giving morning, than for many a day. So she sings with a heart grow ing lighter at each merry measure —and her song re,aches Uncle Job, who stands knocking outside the door. I • I iiitf

“Why, Uncle Job, how nice of you! And you’ve come to take din- ner with us, haven’t .you ? Did you meet Plant ? No ? He went to fetch you over h-alf an hour ago. Let me have your b.askot and .vour hat and your glove^—there 1’ —

“Thank you, my niece. I think I’ll stay. It all depends, though.’

“And how dees Paradozidos ’Tes- sini get on, sir ?’• '

“Famously, Mrs. -Nan-famously 1 I shall yet live to show btd Herr von Loimsteia that what he chooses to call muschelkaik of the trsas- sic pcilod is nothing upon earth — or in earth, I supiioss I should .say —but oolite of the jurussic 1’ '

“Indeed, sir. Well, I’m glad I m not in the mussel shell state of evolulicn, and 1 am also ,'giad that you have come to dinner, near pro- fessor.’

“Honestly glad ?’ “HonCiStly glad.’ “Glad enough to accciit 'this little

tiurkey as an addition to your, repastr' , . 1 , _ t

■‘Oh, Uncle Job, .how lovely of you! Why, what a feast we'll have, to bo sure! I’m awfully hungry, and I’ll confess to you now, sir, that I felt as if I could eat the entire turkey Plant brouivht home myself. I wouldn’t tell him tlio whole truth, but 1 was afraid he'd find it cut by my gnawing the bones. But now we’re all fixed for a luxurious repast, and, oh. Uncle Job, don’t you want to chop this onion for me ? I’m so tired of -.veep ing, and onions always affect me so deeply.’

“'Tears have forgotten the way to my eyes. Give me the chopper.-’

“There’s the bowl, and there s— Plant.' - (

“’Tisn t fair,” smiles the newcom- er, holding out his hands to the grateful warmth of tne iitllo kit- chen stove. “You’re a witen. Upon which particular broomstick did you fetch him in my absence, Nan ?’

“A turkey brought him. Sec, here it is, a twin of ours, and just in; time to be stuffed.’

“Hooray for us—a tandem team! To be strictly candid, Nan, I meant to eat the turkey I bx-ought home all myself. Now you can have a taste. Four di'umsticks ! Uncle Job, if I do have a weakness for any- thing besides Nan it’s ’—

“What’s this? Plant-lock-look- look 1’

Louder than her cries of wondor- mont 'is the noisy downfall of the strange contents of chat little tur- key. Silver disks clatter and jingle and chink U|ion the pine cable over the echoing tinware, the iron plins, the dough board, the flour Usejf, as if demented with their sud-Jeii lib- erty, the big' round coins go rolling off into this corner, that corner, un- der tab'e, chair and scovc ;

How many broad si'vcr dollars that gaunt fowl holds the, astonish ed young people cannot tell, but to their widely opened .eyes it seems a little fortune, and Uncle ■'Job thinks him.selt amply repaid when two happy children kneel beside him' and fall to caressing him as they weep, and the tears are not born of -the chopped onions in his lap —they are bona fide tears of pure joy. (

And afterward, when it comes to pa,ss that the profits that accrue from the enorpious sales of the new textbook are all uiadc over to the little bride aaid 'Mrs. Nan is account od almost as wealthy as the re- gretted Gwendolen. Mrs. 'Tom allows John to turn the horses’ noses to- ward the five-roomed cottage to which an addition is being built for Uncle Job’s especial use, and in her gentle daughter-in-law's little best room oats humble pie very prettily, leaving a mcssa,gc for her son that, to him, brings heaven itself into' the dining room, when at dusk, through the sweet air of tiudd- ing 'jpring, he comes and takes his place at the supper table opposite his wife.

“But wo owe all our happiness to you—all to you, dear, dear, undo ! For unless you had come to our aid and jilayed f-airy godfather we should yet he as ixior as—as’ —

STILL AHOTHER CASE THE NEW SYSTEM 1’RB.\.TMENT, ANTI-

PILL, CONTINUES TO WORK WONDER-

FUL CURES.

When Dr. Leonhardt, of Lincon, Neb., gave Anti-Pill to the world he had unbounded faith in the treatment, but he did not foresee the world-wide and wonderful results it is now achiev- ing in the cure of disease.

Here is the story of another Anti- Pill victory.

“For many months I have been troubled with dyspepsia, dizziness in my head, cold chills, and suffered most ot the time from constipation and was unable to do my housework. I tried every kind ot pill and medicine that either the doctoi'S or myself could think of, and finally tried Anti-Pill. This treatment has practically made a new woman of me. I am able to do all my own work. The dizziness has all gone, my stomach feels much bet- ter, and I am no longer troubled with constipation. I cannot praise Anti- Pill too highly.”—Airs. 'Thos. Tabb, 287 Emerald Street North, Hamilton, Out.

Mrs. Tabb’s letter is only one of the many.

Anti-Pill is sold by all druggists at 50c., or the 'Wilson-Fyle Co., Limited, Niagara Falls. Ont. Sole agents for Canada. 102

meeting proceeded with the nomina tion of a candidate for the next Provincial Elections. Only one name was submitted, that of AV. D. Mc- Leod, Esq., thq. present member, all apparently feeling that, that gentle man fully deserved tha confidence placed in him by membets of the party generally.

AV. D. McLeod, M.P.P.,

Con.servative Nominee.

Daring the afternoon, a public meeting was lieM in the Fire Hall, which drew a fairly good attend- ance. President A. D. McILre occu- pied the chair. In his oiiening re- marks he announced that Mr. Mc- Leod was again tho unanimous choice of the Association to con- test tile riding in the interests of the Conservative party.

Mr. McLeod’s appearance upon the platform was tho signal for con- siderable applause at tlic iiands of his supporters, who thus testified that in their opi’nicn “Billy D. was all right.’

In his speech ot acceptance, the candidate touched uixm matters generally that had come under his observation during his tour of duty as local member for Glengarry, and wound up by asking one and all to enter tho contest with a will and leave nothing undone that was legitimate to secure Ids return as their member and supporter of J. P. AVhitney.

Then followed a string of ad- dresses, some long, othor.s short, but all breathing vengance on those rascally (?) Grits, who for thirty-two years have occupied tlic treasury benches of Ontario under such un- trustworthy leaders as Mowat, Har- dy and Ross. ^ '

Among those who added their quota to the afternoon's entertain- ment were, Andrew Broder, M.P., Hon. Senator Mc.Millan, J. A. Mac- donell. K.C., Polycarpe McDonald, J. F. McGregor aaid J. Lockie AVilson,

ANOTHER TELEGRAM FROM SANTA CLAUS.

St. Louis, Nov. 23, 1904.

Mr. Will. J. Simpson Alexandria, Ont.

Here yet, can’t tear myself away, so many beautiful things to see. Have sent you another lot including the mechanical toys and air guns, also some beautiful kid body dolls for good little girls.

Had an awful time coming from the North, was attacked by Polar Bears, Esquimaux and ludians. It’sa wonder I’m alive. My reliable old Blunderouss and Howitzer saved me again. i kill- ed two of the bears with my Blunder- buss and about twenty savages were blown up by my Howitzer. I lost one of my beautiful reindeer but managed to save the sleighful of toys. It was a dreadful experience, but thanks to my lucky star it’s all over and I feel O. K. once more. Tell all the dear children to watch for rne and tg write their letters and mail them right away so I’ll know what they want. Remember rne to iny old friends Charlebois, John McPherson and Johny Donald Ban. I hope they are as hearty as I am.

Will write yon again.

Alexandria’s Greatest Store.

Every Monday Bargain Day.

Ladies’ Astrachan Jackets For $5.00.

Less than they can be bought for in any other store in Eastern Ontario.

We were advised last summer by a gentleman who speht twenty years in the manufacture of fur garments, that Ave could save considerable on Astrachan and Persian lamb by buying the skins and linings and paying some firm for making them into jackets for us. Alter some consideration we de- cided to try it on a small scale and purchased Astrachan pelts enough to make fifteen jackets and Persian lamb enough for two. We had them made up by Waldron Drouin & Co. of Montreal and each garment bears their guarantee that the manufacture is first class. The skins in all these garments are the choicest possible to procure, beautiful curl, German dyed, glossy and heavily furred. The linings the very best quality of satin manufactured—altogether the nicest jackets ever shoivn in Alexandria and we can sell them at a price less than we used to pay the wholesaler or five dollars less than regular prices. We have had these garments examined by several travellers for fur houses and they all admit that they are exceptionally good. Both -the Persian lamb were made to measure and sold and are perfectly satisfactory to the ladies Avho purchased them, one we sold to Mrs. Tarltbn of this place and all Avho have seen it agree that it is made of the most closely matched skins that they have ever seen. W.e have her permission to say that she is perfectly satisfied with her purchase in every particular. Four of the Astra- chans have been sold and we still have eleven in stock, prett> well assorted as to siz^s. If you are looking for good value call and let us shoAV you these jackets.

We also have a large stock of cheaper Astrachans some ^ of them as low as ^24.00. Our stock of other furs was never more complete.

Bring us your dressed pouliry we will pay you the high- est prices in cash or in exchange for goods.
