TOURHIMX OCTOBER SKIM, 1911 THE TIMES-ADVOCATE 4 ■s McT avish -Eitel lb Notes from A Woman's Workshop i# **WT YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE” It was raining very hard last night as I crept along with unfamiliar steps. Far ahead a street light struggled faint-heartedly with the en circling gloom, feebly suggesting that here might lie the way. ”A harsh beam pierced the black shadow of th® old warehouse behind the town, but it only showed up a pile o£ ugly rubbish. “Better the darkness than that,” I thought. Then, somewhere, a sudden, inquisitive finger of light searched, the darkness, A flashlight, I thought. Why had I not brought mine along. A little farther on I could see into an upper room where a fussy little pink lamp stood upon a -dressing table. Not a very useful thing, I reflected, but it filled the room with a soft rosy glow, such a fairy light as shines agelessly upon the Sleeping Beauty. Across the street a weird green shade threw its beam on the desk where young John would be frowning over his algebra. Nothing romantic about that, but practical and easy on the eyes. At the big house on the corner the shades were drawn, but the windows glowed friendly, in the darkness. I knew "those lamps, without show or color, standing high, breathing forth a soft, serene radiance. Then I turned the corner and smiled to see the friendly little door light beckoning me home, reaching out in warm embrace to draw me in to safety and rest. As the doox* closed against the outex' dark ness I thought of all the vast unlit places of the world where no lamp is lit and people cower, waiting for the dawn.------ And so to bed, drowsily comfortable in the thought that if all greater lights failed, I had my little personal candle—with it no night could ever be completely dark. From somewhere a still small voice whispered the old strange promise “At eventide there shall be light.” •The Missus IT WILL RE LIT KIDDY KORNBR If but one message I can leave hind, One single word of my kind, It would be this—Oh ter, friend, Whatever life may God may send— No matter whether clouds lift or late— Take heart and wait. courage brother, bring, be- sis what soon your When I see a boy who hasn’t a dog, Or a dog who hasn’t a boy, think of the lot they are missing Of frolic and genuine joy.

In Ireland there is a super stition that on the eve of All’Souls, the dead are allowed ‘to visit their friends upon earth and break bread with them until midnight. It is said that the church calenlar became so crowded with saints’ days, that All Saints’ Day was devised as a| memorial to .those heroes of the faith J who had no special feast day in the j church year.

THE TIMES-ADVOCATE Commentary on the Plowing Match The following ‘interesting com ments on the South Huron Plowing Match are reprinted from the Strat ford Beacon-Herald: The so-called novelty Classes at the /county plowing matches have become by this time regular fea tures on the list of events. People look .forward to seeing some of the townsfolk get behind a plow, and try their hand at plowing. Along about the middle of winter when the snow is blowing clear up to the eaves and the winter wind is doing its act of moaning and whistling at the same time down the chim ney, town folk like to advise farm ers on what they should do in the way of plowing. The farmers natur ally resent it. When the plowing match rolls around they stand on the headlands and shout advice to the man with the white cqllar as he plows, or as the farmers say, “ditches.” .

The field has been in .pasture fol’ the past 15 years and Mr. Penhale had decided to plow it this year any how.
