AN EXPERIMENT,
Mr. John Sterling of Little Eng-
land has something of a curiosity in
his chicken yard. A few weeks ago.
Mr. Sterling, in walking through the
river flats, found the egg, of a wild
goose. Taking •it home be set it under
a hen and the other day a small gee-
ling emerged from the shell and is
making itself quite at home amongst
a family of ehicks, It is quite
heal-
thy and apparentlyhappy, yet
having discovered 'the 'mean trick play-
ed upon it when it was a helpless
egg. But it will probably pay
Mr, Sterling back • by eloping with the
first flock of wild gem which fly over
after it has been reared to mature
goosehood,

'their uniforms, each wearing a band of

ing the. front 'row of • seats which had

and clergy filed into .their places'' and
the• service began, Itwas carried out
according to the plane published ' .last

local ministers taking part. Printed
cards with .the order of service and

from' Burial office were read by Rev.
T. W. Cosens, and •addresses
weregiven by Rev. W. J.
Jolla:re' and Rev. C. R. Gunne. Rev.
Mr. Jolliffe took for les text the
words "Tice Cedar, the Cedar of Leb-
anan has Fallen," His address was a
resume of King Edward's reign and
was an eloquent tribute to the many
splendid qualities which were mani-
fested during that reign. 'The speak-
er dwelt upon his love of peace, his
noble unselfishness, his wide culture,
hit comprehensive knowledge of af-
fairs and his wonderful tact . in deal-
ing with matters pertaining to the
Welfare of the Empire and all Inter-
national questions.
Rev. C. R. Gunne in a brief ad.
dress spoke eloquently of the wide-
spreaxl and genuine grief which was
manifested at the death of leis' Meets-
ty, King Edward VII., and in trying
to fatharn the reetsan for thio univer-
sal sorrow he dwelt particularly up-
on His Majesty's efforts in behalf of
world-wide peace. "It was tine qual-
ity of the peacemaker which was a
Measure of the Devine in hint," said
the rector, "which made hint so• uni-
versally beloved and ro sincerely
mourned," and he gave it as his op-
inion that the influence exerted by
the late monarch would have a lest-
ing effect upon the nations of the
World ; that nations would hesitate
before going to war, as a result of
lcthe influence exerted against it dur-
ing the nine yearsof Edward's reign.
The hymn "Peace, Perfect Peace,"
was sung and then, the congregation
till standing, the organist played
he Dead March "Saul," accompan-
ied by Mr, Phelan en the violin ;„ the
reeler gave the benediction., and with
heads still bowed one 'Verse of "'Clod
Save the Xing" . was sung. "1'he

Tasker was in the 'box for Cltinton
and pitched a . steady winning game
throughout. In. the first three inn-
ings he struck out nine men.
Tommy Hawkins was behind the
bat, as usual and put up the good
game that is always expected of
him. ,.
"Riley" Johnson ' guarded the first
bag and well, as usual, to he sure.
He is one of the reliables of the
localteam and can always be de-
pended on in an emergency:
The locals have an infield that is.
hard to. beat. Harry,.3'witchell is
neat and nimble in the field and good
at the bat. Frank McCaughey guard-
ed the third bag like a veteran and
Macdonald at second was a peach.
Perhaps no player received more
hearty applause than Murray McEw-
an whose pickups and# throws were
a feature of the game. At the bat,
too, he excels.
Carl Draper is a young player but
a very promising one, especially at
the bat and on the bases.
Hilly Johnson was centre fielder and
put up . an errorless game. The
