Took the Wrong Cue. When anyone shakes hands with the Premier', says The Toronto Mail and Empire correspondent who has accosts - partied Sir Wilfrid Leurier to the West, he at once enquires the name and then makes some remark or cone ment designed to please the voter or his wife. If the narne is Mrs. Jones, he insists that it must be Miss Jones, and if the nationality of the speaker is betrayed by the name that fact is seized upon to advantage, but now and then the most wily politician mikes a mistake, At Selkirk the oth- er afternoon the Premier was in fine fettle and had ag lad hand and a win- ning smile for everybody. As he was driving off • some voter grasped his hand enthusiastically. "What is the name?: 'Sullivan." "Oh, yes, Mr, Sutherland, have not forgotten your name. It is.a fine old Scotch name." • "To hell with the Scotch," respond- ed the voter. . IVIA.KES HAIR W. A. MeConnell has an invigator that dtvill nieke hair grow cr •money back.

The surface of the nett enlarges concentrically after each capture of an insect, and it exercises an irresistible attraction on flies.

The Town of A tu. tieretburg in Essex County, and the Town of Lancaster in Glengarry Coun. ty will both vote, together with mitey other places scattered in between. Eastern Ontario has more than its share of contests. Every in la the County of Glengary is into the fight, including the Town of Alex- andre., the Villages of Lancaster and Maxville, and the Townships of Ken- yon, Isachlei and Isaticaster. Just over the border the Vilinge Of Vankleek Hill in Prescott County and the Township of Ruxborough m Stormont County are Also Voting. Other ireportnutEastern points in which the battle will be fought are the Towns of flanprior, Perth, Smith Palle, Napanee, tiananoque. and the Villages of Merrickville, Newburg and Newcastle. 10 I he Northern part of the Province considerable progrese has already been made, and if the campaigns now on are successful it vvill mean the entit e cleaning up of large areas. Among the places voting are 15e Towns of Barrie, Bracebridge, Huntsville, Burks Falls, Beaverton arid Sutton. There will not be much doing in the North Western part of the Province the only fights being in the Villages of Port Elgin, and Paisley, and, the Township of Albemarle, The City of Guelph is, however, the cent, e of a hot fight. One of the strong est and best organizations in the Pro-. vince is that of the Citizens' Committ ee in Guelph. and the campaign is being tlystematleally earred on along precis ical lines. Present indications are that Guelph will swing lute the th•y column itt Jatioary. Just near Guelph voting will take plaice in Guelph and Puslinch Town- ships, Erin Village, and Drayton Vill- age. 'Dufferin County has only threelicen- ses. These are all in the Village of Grand Valley, which place is looked neon by both parties as a strategic point. and will be the scene of a hard fouglit battle. In Western Ontario the most ititereet ing group of.eonteste is that of the Township of Rodney, West Lorne, Wardsville and the Town of Bothwell. If these places are soccessfel, it will mean ti olir white spot in the map of E gin. Comity. , The hottest place in the Province, however, is the County of. larelland. Here a County • Convention was held lest spring, at which it was decided to bring on a fight in every municipality in t he County as far as possible with the result that ten mouicipelities will vote in January, including the Towns of Wellited. Thorold, Port Colborne, and Biidgehurg, with the Townships of Thorold Crowland, Humberstone, Stn. ford, Willoughby. and Bertie. A striking feature of the Campaign is the fee ness of the attempts to repeal Lncal Option: Last year there were 111 municipalities in which repeal con. tests were possible; but an enly 12 was the mat ter h: -ought to a vote, and only 2 By laws were repealed. This year there are 128 municipalities in which the local option by- laws have been in force for 8 years or more, and where a repeal contest might be bought ob. If the law were really a distioil failure as its oponent S prophesized it would he, it, might nat, urtilly be supposed that at be first opportunity 'be people would gct rid of it.
