On Tuesday the 23rd inst., Mrs. W. Darnell received a cheque for $1000 on,the policy of her late husband in the 0.0.0.F. There has been a great deal of criticism cast on our order by Mrs. Darnell and others concerning this claim, people seeming to forget that a legal right must be considered, as well as a moral one, before orders such as the above, can pay claims to their claimants. The 0. 0. 0. F. bas never refused to pay cheerfully and promptly all certi- fied sick and death claims of its mem- bers. The reason Mrs. Darnell's claim was so long unpaid, the Militia Department at Ottawa were not, and are not even yet, satisfied that Pte. Darnell is really dead; the cLeque was issued with the full understanding that if he is not dead the money will be refunded. The C. 0. C. F. has many brave her- oes at the front who are fighting for freedom and 'we are proud of ,the patriotism of our boys, should any fall in fray none will be more prompt in paying claims that are certified as correct by the Militia Dept. than the Canadian Order of Chosen Friends. In this big, cruel, bloody war, there has been many reported "Killed in Action," but have eventually returned home safe and sound, thus it behoves us to be cautious as well as benevolent. Thanking you in advance Mr. Editor, would very respectfully remain, Truly yours, RECORDER. Wingham Council.

Mr's. Pankhurst's Visit Created a Sensation in Ottawa. Nothing that has happened this session iu the House of Commons at Ottawa has been as ,dramatic as the appearance of three quietly dressed women in the White Chamber a few ,lays ago at half -past three, a few minutes after the Minister of Fin- ;face had begun to explain his amend- ments to his budget resolutions. The chief visitor was Mrs, Emmeline Pankhurst, who has spent her life trying to get votes for women, says Arthur Hawkes in The Toronto Star Weekly. It was a Parliamentary extra, and it created an extraordin- ary sensation. In its way, it was more remarkable than the effect of the speech in which Sir Wilfrid Lau- rier lengthened the life of this Par- liament, or the oration in which Sir George Foster pleaded for unity against the canker of patronage and for the mobilization of all our forces for the war. When Mrs. Pankhurst name to the floor I saw members 1 looking at her, and looking g and looking. olein g I looked up to the gallery to see how many women were there as witnesses of a striking silent episode, and saw one of the doorkeepers, who had beard what had happened, standing half be- hind a pillar and looking down at the inconspicuous woman in the chair close by smiling Mr. Hazen, and frowning a great frown as he looked. Mrs. Pankhurst was in a long vel- vet, cloak. Being color-blind, I run some risk in calling it a dark green; but it looked like that to me. She carried a velvet muff, trimmed with possum fur. Her hat was black with small black ostrich feathers, and her face ;vith the hair drawn far down from the ears -and darker hair than you would expect on a head that has known so much agony -was shaded by a veil. You would not have thought she was aged enough to have such daughters .as those who have made such marks as they have on the political consciousness of Britain. But there she was, probably the most assailed woman of all time, on the very floor of the House as guest of high honor. in the election of which, it is thought by many, it would be a dime for a woman to participate. In a few minutes, she went away, with the two ladies who came with her, and with the Hon. Andrew Bro- der, ,rho brought then: in and who conducted them to the Senate for a while. If there be anything in omens -- what of this. Yesterday, Mr. Broder was made a Privy Councillor, in honor of political service that has been without spot or blemish or any such thing. His first appearance within the Chamber after that event was to lead in the woman who has defied political tradition more than it has ever been defied since democracy began to be. There was scarcer' a man in the assembly who was not conscious that the woman was a vast- ly gratorpolitical force fh an he hd ever been or could ever hope to be, She didn't come to the capital as the advocate of a controversial cause, but as the pleader for help for those who have been despoiled by the un- spealcable. Sho had put aside every- thing for which she had consecrated her life, and had created an army such as had never before been gath- ered under the sun. She had done it for the cause for which all men say they are ready to sacrifice all things. It was no renunciation for her to do what she did. The woman pays all the time when the war drums beat. She wins also the glory that cannot come from feats of arms; but which inheresein the deeds of great hearts. She came to appeal for Serbia. 13ut it was because she is the leader of women's suffrage that she was given thehonor. pl ac.: of e And only three days after the suf- frage resolution was voted otit by the Government majority.

Chatham has furnished a very good story. A team of horses ran away on one of the streets there and after a while they got separated. One horse ran down to where the soldiers were stationed and jumped through a window and landed on the table where the troopers were going to have supper.

The "pole" was 30 inches in diameter and 160 feet in length: It was en route to New York City, where it is to be used in connection with a wireless station. The gigantic pole was cut from timber on the Pacific coast near Tacoma, Washington. Five flat cars were required to carry the pole. On Saturday morniug about 3 o'clock a terrific lightning, wind and rain storm the t in off t e I oke and did consider- able damage on the Durham road in Kin- cardine township.

Other than this Mr. Cult is un- able to state whether any goods were taken. Entrance had been made by breaking a window, but on leaving, the culprit did not even take the lime to close the door. Mr. John Heffron's butcher shop was also entered the same night' and a small quantity of meat taken. It is seldom that Blyth is visited by characters of this kind, and it is certain that in this instance the perpetrator was an amateur.

These wild, young creatures, it is promised, provide one of the most fascinating exhibits. of this great travelling zoo. Born on May the 16th while the big amusement insti- tution was showing in Binghampton,they display little or no savageness or treach- ery. As a rule lions do not breed well in captivity. Five cubs are having their first show experience and seem to enjoy it. They are all handsome specimens of the King of the forest, with sturdy, taw- ney little bodies, thick heavy paws, straight tails and remarkably well•shaped heads. There was one that the mother refused to nurse, an Irish setter deg was substituted for three days. The baby's strength was ' in no way impaired, now the mother seems to care more for that one than all the others. Lion cubs are the most playful of any wild animal, they are among the first of any wild animal born in captivity to show their hatred of mankind, they are curious objects as their legs are so very large in comparison to their bodies. Their mothers love and keen devotion is constantly shown. DON'T MISS the only Big - Show coming this year. WANTED -Men in all departments, Tent men, Grooms, Drivers and Potty Boys.
