Workmen in excavating for the big shed which Mr. O. Lepard is adding to his hotel have exumed some connecting 'bake between the present and the early days of the town. The other day they turned up an axe with a hickory handle, which in spite of haying lain buried for perhaps half a century, has a good cutting edge and a well preserved handle. To all ap. ptrances the workmen have also stuthbled on an old cemetery. A monument has the following inscript• ion, legible: "In memory of Charles, son of lgnace and 'Mace Sherrer," Where the hotel and shed sites are was once a bottomless swamp, being filled in with loge.

A great deal of diecueeion took place as whether or not a nor school ehould be erected, The matter we ia,4 ova for future oonsidteratk n, ADVANCE A Railroad Novelist pERT'TAPS the beat known of the yowl- er literary critics in America is Archie Bell of the "Cleveland Lead- er," For that rea- eon his tribute to the work of a C. F. R. official is well worth atten- tipn. That work is a work of fic- tion, "Hearts and Paces" by name, and Is as remote f r o m Canadian railway life as anything' c 0 u 1 d possibly, be imag- ined. Here is what Archie Bell has to say:— John Murray Gibbon was burn in Ceylon, H i s father is a titled $eotehman, H e is a graduate of Oxford, and he has taken speolal courses in philos- ophy at various German unittersi- ties. And despite some of these things popularly consideted handi- caps to "getting on in the world," he camp back to London and was soon editor of the well-ltudwn illus- trated newspaper, "Black and White." Realizing that he did not know as much as, he wanted to know about art, a reali- zation that came home to him each day as he sat at his editorial desk, ho resigned and went to Paris to become an art student. He lived in the famous Latin Quarter at night and spent the • days in Colarossi'a Atelier. Then he went to Italy and Algiers, Japan and China, and to many other countries. Then one day, an official position was offered him by the Canadian Pacific gl'.ailway, At the age of forty-one he has achieved distinction as a practical railroad man, despite all those years of preparation that were spent in pur- suits so popularly believed to unfit a man for the practical life. The busiest men are the ones who find the most time. In the past two years, John Murray Gibbon has been attending to his railroad duties with one band, and with the other hand has been writing a novel, which has Just been issuod by the .famous puillishing house of John Lane in England and S. B. Gundy in Toronto. "Hearts and Faces" is the story of an artist it treats of the artistic temperament as it sallies forth into the warmer world from the somewhat unpromising environment of Scotland. George Grange is found amid rathor commonplace surroundings in tate first rev. lines of the novel. There his character, or at least the foundation for his character, is being formed. He never escapes from thia environment, because he carries its effect with him wherever he goes. Delightfully true pictures of Scottish ideals are sketched in the earlier chapter's, and then with the first fling at the biting satire which frequently illuminates subsequent pages, George Grange throws aside hie university studies. He longs for freedom and life, and falling in with -a lovable old pharacter, a Scottish painter, he also learns to paint. Ile goes to London in the great quest of success grid gradually climbs the ladder by discouraging and' diligent toil, until a committee waits upon him and offers him a commission to paint a portrait of the king for a fashion- able club. Gibbon draws a steady and grim picture of the intriguing London society folk—whom he knows well enough—and occasionally he pays his respects to the American "climbers" in the smart set. There is no venom in his satire of his own people, nor of the foreigners, but he paints portraits in words that are carefully chosen and forceful. His hero is thrown into this pulsating, human pot pourri, and "keep his skirts clean" up to the great moment of hiellife, when he falls a victim of a designing woman and loses all. Again Scotch pluck to the rescue, however, and he goes to Paris, where many of the scenes are doubtless somewhat autobiographical. It is the Latin Quarter life of reality. Not that musical comedy version which we too often mistake for the reality, and not even that fascinating life sketched so in- delibly by Henri Merger, which did more to popularize "Latin Quarter life" than any of the pictures ever painted there. But life on the banks of the Seine, as it is lived 4y (,he etuden(,s of art and the girls who know no ether world. Sometimes thee pictures are gay, sometimes ser td; but they are never' vulgar. Through.them move many characters with Whom the reader has become acquainted in the earlier chapters. Amid these scenes, as in London, and later fp Germany and Italy, George Grange moves as the most important figure. It is the adventure of a soul. And each adventure is traced with a canny knolvledge of life as it is, rather than as many writers would like to believe it should be. Anti jt was written by a railroad man! Still, there are enough examples of versatility in the art W4r'ld to prove that such an achievement is possible. A merchant o1 Russia composed mueic that is new Sung in the' opera houses of the world,' It does not lessen Pad:rewskf's ability as a pianist because he is a hotel keeper in Warsaw. John Alden Carpenter, of Chicago, is a "busi- ness man," yet he composed "Adventures in a Perambulator," which caused the staid music critics of the country to prick up their ears in the last two years. Caesar Franck was a school -teacher, even when he was writing his most famous symphony. •_ - . • Belgraye Rev. Mr. plana occupied the pulpit of Knox Church on Sttnday. Geo.
