COSTLY HALLOWE'EN PRANK AT
'CARGILL
Hallowe'en is reported to have been
celebrated in great style by the young
boys of the village of Cargill and vic-
inity, who pulled off numerous pranks
at the expense of citizens. The most.
costly iteni in connection with the af-
• fair is a broken plate -glass window
in. Webees hardware store,The pro-
prietor, who was a. witness of the
performance, saw one boy push an-
other lad through the window, ' Next
morning' the fathers of the lads were
asked to hand over the price of a new
window, the estimated ,cost • of which
is $200:
•
Sir Alexander Mackenzie . has made
,.' a proposition tothe committee .in,
charge of Macpherson Park (which he
donated to the town) which will, if
acted upon, greatly improve that pro-
perty_ Me ,proposes to give $2000 on

unusual a incidence, Miss, Miller was
the third os ife of high of them. and
New York apparently holds, lime re-
actionary views as to the number of
women a man may marry, She dis-

"Did you see much of him after`

"From • that time we were one,"
she' answered calmly.......,.`
Hammerstehn's ' Misfortune&, '
'Returning •to . the United States
they were Parried. Hammerstein
had some time befo' a accepted •a
nai$lion dollars and a, half from the
Metropolitan Opera Company to quit
opera for ten years, and itwas on
that account that he sought an out-
let for his musical enthusiasm . in
London, but the. people there clung
to Coven Garden, so he returned to
New York. There be laid plans for
giving opera at popular prices on the
east"`side, and mortgaged everything
to build the Lexiegton Opera House,
The Metropolitan people made no
sign until• he had sunk all ,his money
in the venture and then they,. secured
injunctions and the enterprise collap-
sed. Hammerstein tried ti► turn the
house to other purposes, but failed.
He .wanted to hang on until the time
agreement with the Metropolitan peo-
ple elapsed, but ill- health was added
to his., other troubles. He became
paralyzed, and gradually all his pos-
sessidns slipped away from him. He
died in 1919 leaving a complicated
estate, . from which the widow, how-
ever, has received only enough to
keep her for the past three ;gears.
Now she is penniless.
A SLICK RASCAL
We take' the following . from the
The Herald and. Times, of Walkerton:
Postmaster Nutting ,has received not-
ification from the Postal Dept. at
Ottawa that some "smooth working
artist is operating in this province.

and defrauding guileless merchants
by getting them to cash same. The
"slick one" gets a postmaster to;fill
out a money, order fpr twenty-five
cents, or some like smdll amount, and
afterwards' :skillfully erase the pen-
ned line drawn through the dollar
space and add fifty dollars or more
to the "orderF- will ,later proceed
to pick his victim. which is invariably
a merchant. Waiting until the post
office is closed, he will make a snap
purchase of a merchant and -ask him
to cash the order as he is shy of
funds and the post -office is closed.
The order looks perfectly good. bear -
inn, the postoffice 'stamp and all. Bar-
num's assertion is once more proved.

"long green" and the crook fades

WASN'T IN Tf1E SERVICE
The tailoring al:s ra&ch frown Vie. -
toric B.C. which appeared recently in •
the Vancouver Daily Press, Will be
•read with interest by many old friends
of Rev, F. .A.P. Chadwick, who will
probably remember for nnany years,
in connection with his harvest home
services' of 1922, the unique incident
the followij ..story describes:
While Rev.' F. ,A, B. Cha vtneick -
tor of • St,Jolin's • Anglican" 'Cburl;<
here was officiating at the harvest
thanhagiving., festival services Sun-
day morning, the congregation was
mystified by a wiaite-robed, figure
solemnly ,marching up the' aisle 'tm.
ward the altar; carrying before hips
a staff to which was attached a cur:
ions assortment ofr fruit.
• This trait consisting •of coeoanauts,
firmly Bound together' with twine, a-
round which werestrung figs and
dates, \formed a circle, surmounted by
an orange. The, whole ..was tapped
by a flag of truce.
Members of other denominations,
who were attending the services eur-
ipusly .enough believed the solitary
parader was participating in the ser-
vices, while the members of the
church had visions of an invasion by
the Ku Klux Klan, • •
With great presence of mind, the
Rev, •Mr_ Chadwick continued the
services, while several sideman; not,
knowing what was about to tran-
spire, made for the intruder:
In the confusion that followed, the
sheet that enveloped the supposed
Ku Klux Klan man fell away from
his body„ and revealed him as Mani
appealed in the garden of Eden -
minus the fig leaf.
He, was quickly rushed to the ves-
tibule, ;Where a, bundle of clothes
were found. These, he was made to
hurriedly don while awaiting the ar-
rival ; of the patrol wagon which had.
been summoned..
_ • The prisoner gave his name• as
Simon. Kamenchikop, aged 45, a
Doukhobor from Brilliant. He bad
entered thh church and disrobed in
the vestibule, unseen by the ' ushers,
then proceeded to carry on.
• Simon is now behind the bars read-
Eng his Bible and wondering' about
the curious Worship of some people.
He is held for medical examination
