EVERYBODY'S COLUMN
The following sketch is taken from
The London Advertiser of Aug. 11th,
and refers to our former townsman,
Birthday cengratulatione will ice
due Dr. Peter Macdonald, postmaster
of L'rndou, on Monday next, Aug.11tb.
Asked to guess his age, the observer
who noted hie erect carriage, springy
walk, clear, keen eyes and general ap-
pearance of health and vigour would
probably say, "Betwt en 05 and '70,"
A group of people who had known
London's postmaster for many years
personally or by reputation, referred
to him a few days ago in conversation.
A date was mentioned by a man and
an incident in connection associated
with Dr. Macdonald. "lie is getting
on like I am myself." said the speaker.
"Ile must be getting on to 75."
"Really!" exclaimed others. "Why,
he looks much younger than that.
The bodfk of dates, which never by
any chance makesmistdkes, says that
Peter Macdonald, son of James and
Margaret (McBean) Macdonald, was
horn in Pictou, Nova Scotia, in 1835,
on August 14th.
v He was just ten years old when hie
father and mother and the large fam-
ily of which he is the youngest, moved
from down by the sea to London, and
finally to a farm between what is now
Brucefleld and Clinton.
The long journey was made in half`
a dozen different ways. First, a sail-
ing ship was taken from Pict= to Fail
River, and a small steamer from there
to New York City. The third stage
was a trip up the Iiudson to Albany,
then by the Erie Canal to Buffalo. A
steamer next carried the Macdonald,
family to Port Stanley, then the jour-
ney to London was made by stage.
Mr. Macdonald, father of Peter Mac-
donald, finally decided to purchase a
a farm from the Canada Company in
Huron, one of the counties in which
the company had received a charter for
land from the British Government.
Clinton then existed only as a cross-
road, marked by a hotel, the Ratten-
bury House.
Some members of the family remain-
ed in London but the youngest eon still
has recollections of the trip north
made by wagon.
Wheat commanded 60cents a bushel,
and oats 15 cents. Apples were one of
the great luxaries of a small boy's life
away back in 1845 and '46. All north
of Clinton was a vast wilderness known
as Queen's Bush, inhabited by wild
fowl and wild animals. Kincardine
was already a small village on Lake
Huron.
Peter Mit'cDonald's next journey to
London was made in state by a stage
coach drawn by four. horses. But the
road was no royal one, the mud road
of the early days, alternating with
corduroy in the very bad spots. A
strong pull was needed to bring along
the stage coach which at times sunk
up to the axles in mud.

Well Mr. Editor:—
Since last writing I have been home
and was greatly surprised, and might
add also, a little bit "riled" when I
foundout the erroneous idea that
many people had concerning boys in
khaki, Many think that the greater
percentage of all now wearing the
King's uniform are there for graft. So
many believing that all the men in the
ranks and officers in charge, are there
for one purpose only, viz., just for
what they can get out of "the Job".
Now, sir, that impression is wrong,
cruel and devilish. I know of many
fine young men in the ranks, who
have given up lucrative positions,
beautiful homes and lotting triende,
for $33 per month and the green sward
for a bed, and many more comforts
that make life pleasant and beauti-
ful.
About seven thousand have left fcr
the front duriug the past week; if
some of the cruel critics had been pres.
ent, and witnessed the partings of
wives, children, and sweethearts, b'g
lumps would have gathered in their
throats, and tears would have rolled
from their eyes unless their hearts
were as hard as their criticisms and
they might have thought that after
all, the boys were there for something
else than what they could get out of
"the They hy B
e might t also have
e
thought, that after all, the Week -end
at home every two weeke, while train-
ing, was nothing more than they
should get, though the country did
pity them for the time thus spent,
Now, sir, thank you for this little
apace, and may those who Judge so
harshly remember, that if our boys
did not fight, we would become vas.

the bereaved husband and the parental
home, The subject of this notice was
only laid aside two weeks, her pluck
keeping her up.
Mr, Glousher is a brother of Mre,

gaged in et the front,
July 10th, 1910
Dear Mre. Copeland: --
I am taking the liberty of writing
you a letter for the purpose of letting
you know how your son is getting
along. Erwin has been'with me now
for a long time and has developed into
a first class y. M, 0. A. man, which
means a great deal, for a Y man at
the front bas to be a Bret -class all
round man to make good,
It is plainly seen that he has an
ideal home training which after all is
tbu foupdation on which the success-
ful Christian life should be based, and
without which a boy has an uphill
climb all his life.
I feel that it will be ageeat joy for
you to know that your son is such an
influence for good, and he is develop-
ing a strong Christian personality,—
which cannot but be felt by all with
whom he is brought in contact, and
the most beautiful part of it ie that he
lives it in his everyday life and that is
what counts among soldier boys.
In closing I would like to say that I
have received congratulations from
the military authorities and also from
the Y. M. C. A. headquarters on the
successful way our work is being car-
ried on and want to acknowledge that
I ewe the greater part of the success to
your .son for his untiring efforts and
his devotion to the cause of saving our
comrades,
Hoping that he may long be spared
to carry on the Christianwork that
he has so well started, I remain
Yours eincerely,
