Oh Precious Land! Oh Fruitful Land! Oh Land of sun and rain; Where bounteous soil repays for toil, In fruit and grass and grain. Thy hills and plains and lovely vales, Enriched by sun and cloud, Thy praises though my tongue should fail, My heart will sing aloud. I love "thy awful thunderstorms," 1 love thy breezes mild, I love thy limpid chanting stream, I love thy mountain side. I love thy scented clover -fields, The new mown hay recalls, My early boyhood's joyous days, Among the rows and coils. I love to view thy clear blue sky With thin white clouds so faint, A picture rare, so wondrous fair, No artist e'er could paint. I love to see thy boys at play, Their manly trails to view, Thy maidens fair whose faces speak, Of virtues pure and true. Thy soldier boys I can't forget, Their stalwart manly form, In that grim strife across the sea, They bravely face the storm. Thy daughters too no laggards are, Nor silly babblers, they, Their mothers' heart and fathers' arm, In tented fields display. Both quickly heard their country's call, They bantered not for gold, The splendid deeds that they have done, Shall not be left untold. Could nature's gifts the breast appease, Our vain impulse prevent, Ontario, thy favoured sons Were evermore content.

It is very much uncivilized and the Indians live in ti e same condition as they did 100 years ago. Everywhere you see them riding about on bronchos, with regular cannons hanging on their hips. The U. S. Govt. has had a great deal of trouble enforcing conscrip- tion there. Now, I can't picture to you half what I am seeing. Can you imagine a child climbing up the side of his home by putting his toes and fingers through cracks in the wall; a roof of a house grow- ing green with grass; pigs, hens, and so- called humans, all living in the same place. We are continually seeing those large canvas covered vans which form the only habitation of 100's of miserable filthy Indians, of course there may not be more than six or eight in each van, but I have seen hundreds of thein winding around among the hills, Shall I tell you a little about our train, we have a special Pullnan, which has the right of way, hence we are making very fast time. We have a black porter in every car, who brings in everything we want, The diner is just Iike Bingham's in Toron- to, but you must have an eye while pour- ing tea or cream or they may rest on the clean linen. The road is quite rough, and on account of our terrific speed we sway about like drunkards The train has been very quiet; no booz- ing, very little smoking, and no rowdyi m at all In short, we have had a very pleasant journey; a journey which has been the greatest experience of my life But by this time to -morrow I will have started another new chapter' Bye-bye again, mother, I hope you are not worry- ing, I will play the game clean or not at all; will play it as befits a son of my home. Monday—We are now pulling into Fort Worth, Texas, almost the end of our jour- ney. The fellows are quite excited, and it is hard to realize that we are away south. The breezes are balmy, the coons are going about in their shirt sleeves, and we have left winter behind We see a new bunch of stars. The little dipper, which used to be away south, is now dir- ectly over us, and when you see it just ,think of me sitting on my cot, writing to you dear ones at home, Well, must say good-bye now and gather up my baggage in preparation to detrain. I have given a very poor account of my trip, but it will give you a faint Idea of what we have passed through Tell all the friends at home that this letter is for them too. I am too busy to write then all separ- ately very often, so I can write one fairly good letter oftener. Remember me to all my old friends, and ask thein to write to Hie. Bye-bye Mother and all. love from Texas. The regular monthly meeting of Turn - berry Red Cross Society will be held in Bodies' church on Friday, Dec. 28th, at 2 30 p m.

Mr. Quinn en- listed at Haileybury and was in active service in France taking part in the great battle at jashendale, where so many of our great lads paid the supreme sacrifice Corporal Quinn is a son of the late George and Mrs. Quinn of East Wawanosh. Municipal Pot Boiling While the Dominion elections have overshadowed municipal, yet now the latter promises to simmer very briskly here. In Wingham, Mayor McKibbon will not seek a third term in the big chair, but Councillors L Binkley, chairman of the water and electric light committee, and ex{Reeve S. Mitchell have signified their intention of putting up a scrap for for the chief magistracy, A number of H..B. Elliott's friends are urging him to throw his hat in the ring and if he does he will poll a larger vote than ever before. Mr. Wm. Isbister is also out for his second term as Reeve and if rumor can be relied upon Mr. J. W.
