Onlooher's Corner TROUBLE 114 THE TRENCHES The True Story of the Difficulty on the Russian Front When Slav arid Russ have raised a fuss, And sent their Czar a -kiting, Said Giveinski and Blathersi, "We've done enough of fighting. 'I've got a cough," wheezed Killmanoff, "From working in the trenches, I'd rather fight, a doggoned sight, Than put up with the stenches. I want to quit and take a sit In some place clean and brighter, Let those who like come down the pike To strafe a German blighter." "I've got the itch", growled Dirtovitch, Bog spavin and lumbago." "I'm never dry," swore Goshallski, I smell worse than a Dago." "This cheese is high," grouched Buttinski, "Nu hungry rat would eat it." "This meat is tough," whined Ivanuff, I think we ought to beat it." "It makes me mad," stormed Hazembad, "The prevalence of vermin." "You've said it right," owned Gotabite, "I'm lousy as a German." Said Takemoff, "Our lives are rough In these here blooming ditcheS, But mine's the worst by half a verst, Since some guy stole my breeches." Their pay was back, their belts were slack Each man his troubles blurted, With empty guns to face the Huns, Small wonder they deserted. • INDUCTION AT ST. PAUL'S Horace W.

Robertson of Seaforth, Rev. Clarke of Goderich and Rev. Cornish of Forest. Exceptionally good music was rendered by the choir and a large congregation pre- sent. Mr. Snell comes to Wingham highly recommended and the members of St. Paul's are to be congratulated on securing his services here. After the service the members of the A. Y. P, A. entertained the congregation and the visiting Clergy- man and were pleased to include Rev. E. F. Armstrong, pastor of the Wingham Methodist Church. After spending a short sociable time together a daintylunch was served.

Secure a prize list of the Wingham Fall Fair from the secretary at THE ADVANCE office. Among the many increased prizes this year is the poultry. It is now well worth your while to exhibit at Wingham Fair. , The following centres in Huron County have been decided on for the location of exemption tribunals under the. Military Service Act: Goderich, Clinton, Seaforth, Wingham, Brussels, Gorrie, Exeber and Dungannon. Mr. Thos. Bower was one of the Poultry exhibitors at.the Canada National Exhib- ition and out of twenty-three entries his birds carried off twenty-one first prizes. He will, exhibit his flock at the Western Fair this week. By not advertising, the merchant him- self only encourages the impression that he hasn't "the goods". If his business was "worth while" it would surely suffic- iently enthuse him to make him want to tell the public about it. As a C. P.

Bele lamy's letters on Ireland but was delayed not arriving till after the second, which was published recently; Sincerny visit to Scotland last Fail I have had an irresistible longing to visit Ireland and the opportunity to do so carne a short time ago on tile occasion of my discharge front the hospital, when I was given the usual twelve day sick leave. I left Bushy Park on the 7th of July and as my chief objective was the' Emerald Isle I spent two days in Oxford the City of Colleges, Birmingham, Crewe, Wolver- hampton, Liverpool and different part of Wales„ embarking on the mail steamer at Holyhead on the Oth, but as my article has to deal nith my Ireland visit I will not go into details of my journey en route. Arriving at Dublin from Kingston har- bor on the evening train, I soon found my- self deeply interested in the many sights of thereat Irish eity and closely observ- onto, after visiting at her home here. ing the habits and customs of Irish life.

So the next morntog found me procuring the services of a jay good-natured Irishman, on Sackville street. And the experiences which immediately followed I will never never forget. How many of your reades have ridden& tried to ride an Irish jaunt- ing car? Those who have will know how to sympathize with a certain novice on a certain morning not long ago on the crowded streets of Dublin in his conspic- uous hesitation to mount the strange look- ing vehicle, and who afterwards thought as the bally thing commencedas journey, that every bone in his body would inevit- ably be dislocated. I have been in a lum- ber wagon, a Ford car and numerous other vehicles back in Canada in my time have ridden in limbers over the rough road to France and not long ago took a short flight in an aeroplane at Barnes, near London, but never did I experience such a sensation, or series of sensations indescribable in the extreme, as I experi- enced the first few moments following my. finally successful attempt in attaining the seat of my "car." Where in the world to put my .feet which were overhanging the side for the public to gaze upon, and how in the world I was ever to attain any de- gree of comfort and enjoyment were two problems I had to leave unsettled, as by this time we were spinning over the cob- bled streets of Dublin and the driver calm- ly pointing out various places of interest en route. By the time we had reached the foot of Sackville street, where the old Parliament Buildings could be seen on our right. I had passed the third stage of jaunting car "frightfulness" and thereafter was able to settle down with comparative ease although I entottld never recommend a trip on an Irish jaunting car as a rest or nerve cure for shell shock, The old Parliament • House now the Bank of Ireland, is a building of wonder - ltd architectural beauty and it can safely lee claimed that no other bank in the world is as handsomely housed. A pecu- liar feature of the place is that no Win - dos are visible. , Facing the bank on the opposite side of the street is Trinity College, where the Irish Convention is now being held. It occupies practically the hub of Dublin; is built in Corinthian style and was founded in 1591. The library is a wonder in itself, containing, as it does, over a million vol- umes. • The National Museum end Library in Kildare street claimed an hour of my at- tention, exteriorly and interiorly. It is promoted for the fostering of the arts and indttstries and is housed in a very magnifi- cent building.
