The tobago was Y shaped and usually consisted of a ilollost, forked reed, the two prongs of which were fitted into the usstrile, the sinclko being drawn from tobacco placed in the eUd of the stem, The is- land of Tobago, contrary to the belief of many, dict not furnish the name for tobacco, but, on the other hand, it was given that name by Columbus, owing to its resemblance in shone to the In- dian pine. - IWO poor n awco 0 New Spring Stock of all aper Now is the time to snake your selection when you have ' the cormplete stool; Co pilrlosp from, AeMe No JEWELER and d OPT[CIA W � Phone 65 Vttgl t1 MOM ON "LISTENING POST" We're out on "list'ning post" tonight, And the ground Is alive with ghosts, To and fro in the dusk they glide, p'rlenda'tnd enemies side by side, And I seem to feel the mighty hosts As they flit in the pale moonlight, Foes that faced me yester.night Come with an earnest look, ''Whist" says a voice that specks near me, And an arm pulls me down on my bended knee As a mighty ''boom" the earth it shook, And I blink in the blinding light. Flares afire in the midnight sky. Godl but we ehow up plain. Belly on earth as we crawl along To a mighty tune, the snipers' song, And the lead it drops around like rain Whilst the human petals die, Round to the right where our trenches lay - What was that thud just there? Something hot trickles down the facet Spitting and cursing at every. pace • As the ground is lit with tb' infernal flare That makes the night like day, And I escaped and he was slain There in the game of war. Here it's hit and there it's miss, Jost a chance of the hot lead's kiss, And mother, I'm safe in the fields afar And back to the trench again. THE BREEDING OF HORSES The breeding of horses has become a matter of prime necessity, Before the war commenced there was a slump in prices owing to financial conditions and inroads of motor power that led to a cessation of breeding. Then the war came with its demand for certain classes. Following the previous de- cline in the demand many formers sacrifloed their mares. The result ie a serious depletion and a sure scarcity. The demand is increasing and will continue to increase long after peace has been declared. If Canada is to take advantage of the situation the time to start in is now, There will be an 'assured market demand for foals at weaning time from mares bred now. Not only bas the wastage by reason of the war been enormous, but in all the belligerent countries, not omitting Great Britain, there has either been a partial stoppage or a whole stoppage of breeding by reason of the scarcity of labour, the disturbed conditions, or entire devastation. Whether the war lasts or ceases there must continue an undiminished demand for horses. When peace comes tbere will be a long period of replenishment. Then quality as mucb and even more than quantity will be required, Hence the evident call to every Canadian farmer is to breed and to breed to the best available, io util- ize his mares for production and to secure the immediate services of the beet pure bred sire of his type in this neighborhood. It will pay. LA TENA'S SHOW 1S UNUSUAL (Newport, R. I., Herald.) La Tena'e wild animal show that gave two performances here yester- day is a very unusual show, It is not qaite like any tent entertainment that has ever been here. In it wild animals are brought forward though the acro- bat and the trapeze performer are not forgotten. And in its presentation of wild animal acts several scones that are thrilling as well as interesting are given. In one a den of lions is used and in another a cage of bears is put on. The lions and the bears are turned in. to a `targe circular wire cage and in this the performances are given, Over .he lions a worpan becomes perfect mistress and one animal is finally made to lie down and another is made to affectionately lie across him. Then the woman sits down upon the last lion and one of the most remarkable pyramids ever seen is formed. In the cage of bears a man presides and gaine complete mastery of them. In this there is touch done that one ordinarily sees at a show, but finally the ponder- ous beast crouches upon the trainer and seems about to crush him when', only the head of the man remains vis- ible. There is a sigh of relief when she animal raises himiselt end it arrows that the elepl=latgi has merely been severing the trainer and has never touched him, These three animal acts are amaz- ing and stamp the show as one of the best, even in comparison with the great circuses that have been given bore. The trained seals, however add much to this side of the general per- formance. The show is in three parte and beside the ciroular wire cage in Which the animal acts are clone there is a stage rod a ring, so that reall? it ie et three t stet show qq tDe stage q, ponteartion; ,st act is very ietesesting and there is start a good trapess performance, The :towns that aro really funny and the ,Ionics and dogs ehould not be forgot- ten in their good work, At 1'Vinghamon June 12, 1010.
