How doth the busy Exeter girl im-

this Exeter girl the way to work her

Who taught her deft, sharp pointed
tongue the lasso's work to do ? To

feel highly elated over the success of
their concert held on Tuesday eyeuing

circumstances which they had to con-

most pleasing manner, his personations
and comic songs being highly ap-
preciated. Miss Allworth sang very
nicely. She has a decidedly sweet and
well trained voice. Our local vocalists

Presbyterian liiniSter on Dancing',
The Rev. J. C. Tolmie, the pastor of
St. Andrew's Presbyterian church,
Windsor, has caused several sensations.
in church circles in that city, but the
greatest of all was Sunday night,which
in the course of his sermons, he sug-
gested that the crest of the Church- be
stamped on billiard cues • and cricket
bats. "I believe," he said, "that men
and women can take all the pleasure
out of this life if it is not in opposition
to their conscience and the teachings
of the Bible. They say that dancing-
is
ancingis sinful, but I claim it is not, and I
defy any person to show me anything
in the Bible against it. To rant against
those things is cant and hypocrisy, and
not christiauity." Mr. Tol:mie went to
Windsor a year ago from Brantford,
and by his extreme popularity, coupled
with any original style of preaching
has greatly increased the membership
of the church, which now has ono of
the largest congregations in the city.

Important Changes in I,aw.
The act recently passel by the Do-
minion Parliament respecting youthful
offenders makes several important
changes in the condition of the law reg
ulating the trial of this class of child-
ren. The new law makes it compul-
sory on all Magistrates and Judges to
try children under 16 years of age
without publicity, and separately and
apart from the trials of other accused
persons. Such ,youthful offenders are
also to be confined in separate apart
ments, and secluded, entirely from the
society of adults. In addition to this
when the child offender •.is under 14
years,` it is required that notice shall
be served on the executive officer of
the Children's Aid Society in order that
he may investigate the cause of the
offence and the home treatment of the
child. The magistrate may then in-
stead of proceeding with the formal
trial and sentencing of the offender
hand him or her over to the guardian-
ship of the Children's Aid Society to be
brought up under their care.
