This change is due to the company's aggres- sive method in having all their em- ployees report every morning on the number of knights of the eoad they saw the previous , day, Tramps keep in themselves posted on all such struc- tions by calling at country newspaper offices and asking far the latest city exchanges, and govern themselves ac- cordingly.

The bottle will contain 24 cents worth of stamps and will have 6 stamps in a sheet with a sheet of paper between them to keep them from sticking.

After the first of July next exporters of apples will be required to mark the barrel with the initials and full sur- name of the packer, with the size of fruit in inches across the core, with thename of the variety, and with a designation. of the grade of the fruit. The above measures are calculated to prevent fraud be.ing perpetrated. Last year so much inferior fruit was worked off on shippers and dealers that a ser- ious blow was dealt the reputation the Canadian fruit had gained in the Eng- lish market. It is too bad that fruit growers and especially packers of the middle -man type would not consider their own interest better than to at- tempt the fraud. Manson keeps good goods and sells cheap.

He has a family of several sons. For men's nobby shoes go to Ge.ore,re Manson. The Exeter Lacrosse Club journey- ed to Mitchell on Friday afternoon last and. played the -first of a series of league games with the team of that town. But for the brutal slugging of one of the Mitchell team, who by - the way was an imported "red skin"' and who so deliberately displayed the characteristic ferocities peculiar to his tribe, . in slashing and maiming so many of our boys, some of whom will carry the marks for life, the game throughout would have been a good one and much enjoyed by both spec- tators and players. After a play of ninety minutes the score stood 6-4 in favor •of Mitchell. A. °acne of the series will be played heret'between Sea - forth and Exeter teams on June 22nd, A Mitchell correspondent of the Stratford Herald, speaking of the game, says:—" The lacrosse game in Keterson Park on Friday afternoon, between the Exeter and Mitchell teams, was pretty well attended. During the first half Mitchell seemed to have everything their own way, 5 to 1 in favor of the home team. Dur- ing the next half, the stalwart team from Exeter made a far better show- ing and when time was called the game stood 6 to 4 in favor of Mitchell. The game was pretty rough at tirnes. Dentist Kinsman, of the Exeter team, received a had blow over the left eye, which closed it up and a deep cut was also made. He was at once taken to a doctor, who dressed the wound. Sev- eral others of both teams got stretched out but soon recovered and the game went on. Apprentice Wanted—Dressmaker. Apprentice wanted to learn Dress- making. Apply over Messrs.

They first tried to effect an entrance by boring'holes through the door at the rear of the hardware department, but finding this ineffectual owning to the door being lined on the inside with galvanized lion resorted to other means which was by placing a ladder against the back wall a.nd ascending it pried up one of the windows. This done they had full access to the store. The articles stolen consisted mostly of ladies wear, including hose, ties, rib- bons, handkerchiefs, tea, canned goods, etc. • There is no dale wleatever to the guilty parties.
