A man was caught out in a snow.
storm and in order to protect himself,
crawled into a hollow log. While the
storm raged he began to think of what
a good man he had been, and of all the
good things he had done, and he be-
came so full of enthusiasm that when
he went to extricate himself he found
that he was wedged in so tight that he
could not move. Try as he might, he
seemed doomed to die in that old log.
As he lay there thinking of his past
life, a:sudden thought passed through
his mind that he had not paid the
local editor for six years, and he felt
so confounded small that he 'crawled
right out of the log.
After a ten day tie-up on the L. H.
& B. trains were running on Wednes-
day of last week, but were again in
hard luck on Thursday, a heavy snow-
storm to the north of Henson doing
the trick. By working night and day
large gangs of men had the line open
on Monday morning only to be closed
by Monday's snow storm. In all pro-
bability things will be straightened
out to -day, and ready for the next

ceive mail seventeen or nineteen days

A Word to Parents.
In an article in the April Delineator
on "Growing up with One's Children,
which is filled with sensible advice to
mothers, Mrs. Theodore W. Birney
has some excellent remarks about the
treatment of children that are grown.
Many parents will do well to take to
heart the following paragraph: "There
is one thing parents should recognize:
that their children are growing up and
that their authority as such grows
weaker every day while their influence
waxes stronger in porportion as• their
$overninent has been wise, tender and
Just. Many a household is discordant
because .parents insist upon treating
their grown sons and daughters as
though they were still children. They
issue commands, criticise and find fault
forgetting apparently that the season
for training is practically ended, ands
'were it not, such methods would result
in more harm than good. I know a
family in which are two daughters,
both past twenty-five, and a son in his
thirties; they seldom, if ever, leave the
house without ageing questioned as to
where they are going, when they will
return, why they go, why they wear
such a garment instead of sortie other,,
wouldn't they best take nimbrellaas.. are
they.tvarmly or coolly enough dressed,
as the ease may be, etc., ete. Personal
liberty is suet) a precious possession,
artd life is so much sweeterand happier
in households when there is muteal'
confidence and where trivial personal
questions are regarded almost as a dis-
co u
is -cons tesy>"
WILL rgER4 BE TARIFF RE-
VISION.
The question of the tariff is now en-
gaging molly minds in Canada, both in
and out of Parliament, Tariff revision
will probably come tip in some.form or
other during the sessioai of. the Domin-
ion House. The Toronto News has
been collecting the views of public men,
merchants, manufacturers and repre-
sentatives of the farming inter eats, and
a wide divergence of opinion is expres-
sed. Unusual interest attaches to the
session of 1904 for several reasons, The
modification of the Grand Trunk Paci-
fic scheme is' bound to he the subject of
much discussion. In addition to this
a general election is expected in many
quarters shortly after prorogation.
Of all daily reports of proceedings in
the House, those of The Toronto News
probably excel for accuracy and com-
pleteness. The news reports every de-
bate with care and fidelity, and having
no party connections to serve, aims in
its editorial comment to treat each case
honestly and fairly. The prices Of the
Daily News in this district is $1 a year

to, will bring a sample copy by return

Death of Lewis Davey.
A former well-known resident of
Exeter in the person of Mr, Lewis Da-
vey passed away at his home on the
10th concession of Stephen on Satur-
day last. Mr. Davey had been sick
only a short time. He was first attack-
ed with la grippe, but the dread dis-
ease had been checked and he gave
promise of complete cecovery, when
suddenly he was seized with a compli-
cation of diseases which rapidly sap-
ped his life away. Deceased was a
hard-working, industrious man and
was highly respected as a friend and
neighbor. He was in his 64th year.
The funeral took- place to the Exeter
cemetery on Monday.
W. ell*. U. Notes.
The temperance Sunday schsoi mass
meeting which was held in the Main
Street church on the 13th, was very
satisfactory. The large numbers of
happy looking boys and girls present
was gratifying, and the presence of
so many of our citizens, the church be-
ing crowded to the doors:, gives the
union fresh courage.
The ladies take this opportunity of
thanking all who so kindly took part
and aided in making the meeting such
a success, also for the liberal collection
given. We hope to make this annual
rally Sunday, in Exeter, what it has
proven to be in other places, a force in
increasing the temperance sentiment.
Ladies' Aid. Main Street Church.
This. organization met at• the resi-
dence of Mrs. H. Hooper,on Thursday,
March 10th, at 3 p.m.. In the absence
of the president the chair was -occupied
by Mrs. D. A. Ross. Devotional exer-
cises were conducted by Mrs. (Rey.)
Godwin, after which the ordinary busi-
ness was transacted. A special item
of interest was the presentation to
Mrs. Godwin of a beautiful -patched
qnilt at which the ladies had been
working at intervals during the win-
ter. The presentation was made by
Mrs. J. Willis in a few well chosen re-
marks, Mrs. Godwin respdndilig in a
very happy mood. A 'dainty lunch
was served by .the generous hostess
when all departed feeling that another
pleasant afternoon had been spent by
the members.
Legs Broken.
Two of Exeter's bright little• boys
niet with very unfortunate accidents
last week, resulting in each sustaining
a broken leg. On Friday Drew Knight
son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert' Knight,
while walking on the icy sidewalk near
his home, slipped and fell, breaking
the bone in one leg above the knee.
On Saturday, while Mrs. Marshall was
attending Mrs. John Charlton, who is
sick, her little son Jimmy, and 'some
other children were enjoying them-
selves coasting down a hank of snow
in the rear of W. W. Taman's tailor
shop. The little fellow by some means
fell off the sleigh and in the fall that
resulted, broke the bone above the
knee. Both boys were immediately
taken care off and at last reports were
doing very nicely. •
Part of the Agreeinent.
Below will be found the main points
of;the agreement entered into between
the contractor and the House of Refuge
building committee at their meeting
held in Clinton recently. It was
prepared by the county solicitor and
agrees .that all disputes between the
inspector and contractor shall be set-
tled by Mr. McBride, of London, the
architect, and that in case the decision
is against the contractor, he shall pay
the costs, but if in his favor the county
shall bear the expense. The contrac-
tor shall be paid monthly, on the cer-
tificate of the architect, to the amount
of 80% for material used . and work
done. The inspectors shall he paid on
the certificate of the chairman of the
committee, D. Cantelon and master of
the House, Mr. French.
To Construe a Will.
The surrogate court recently issued
to the Canada Trust Oornpany probate
of the will of the late Patrick McPhil-
lips., Barrister -at -law, and last week a
writ was issued by Clara. McPhilips, a
sister of the deceased, to have a con-
struction placed upon the will by the
courts. The deceased, by his will, did.
not give any part of his estate to his
relatives, but directed that out of the
whole income from his estate an annu-
al sum . of $50 shotikl for all time to.
come be paid to the priest of St. Peter's
Cathedral to celebrate some fifty nras-
sess per taear for the repose of the souls
of the deceased and his late wife, and
any deceased niernbers of his family,
and that should his will beattacked ,by
any members of his family, the whole
of his estate should gn to the bishop of
the diocese for like purposes. The
plaintiff claims that the income from
the estate will greatly exceed the a-
mount authorized to he paid for mashes
and asks the court to decide that his
heirs are entitled to whatever niuount
of the estate is not required for mas
ses. There area doter) or more defend-
ants CO the action, including the e:-
castors, the deceased's mother, and all
other heirs of the clsceased, as weli as
his Lordship Bishop ISIcEvay and Fath.

Pay eat Burnes,
The hay -par that passed throogh
here on Monday hist enroute to Strat-
ford met with a rear -end collision on
the'Goderich and Buffalo line, about
three miles east of Seaforth, resulting
in the eowplete destruction of the pay
Mr and it caboose. '1'he pay train in
abarge of oonductor Gordon passed
tbrough.Seaforth shortly after twelve
o'clock and became stalled in a blind-
ing snow storm, abont three miles out.
It was followed by a freight, with WO
engines in charge of conductor Strat-
ton. In the blincling storms the engi-
neer could, not see tbe stalled tra.in,.
and crashed into the rear end of it.
The caboose train caught fire appar-
ently from, a stove and the flames soon
spread to tbe pay •car, and both were
consumed. In the pay cal•. were all
the the ues for. the„ woi•krna.n in -the.
Stratford shops, and these went up in
smoke. The only person injured was
Pay Clerk Alexander, of .Hamilton,
who was somewhat bruised about the
legs. The crew of the freight was not
injured, but the forward trncks of one
of the engines of the freight were torn
off,
Carnivals.
.A. successful carnival was that held
at the rink. by Mr. P.. Bawdeu, on
Wednesday evening of last week. A
fine,clear, frosty night, good ice, and a
large attendance of both spectators and •
those in costume tells the tale that the
people of this town enjoy a good carni-
val. Prizes were awarded to the fol-
lowing: Lady's costume, Mrs, W. J.
Heaman and Miss Millie Hyndwan;
Gents' costume, A. E. Hickey; Comic
costtinie, Fred Bowden; lst race, Tom
Carling; 2nd race, Willie Bissett.
The Carnival given under the auspi-
ces of the Hockey Club on Monday
evening was a success from every poiut
of view. Although the day had been
exceedingly stormy the evening was
fine and a large crowd assembled to
enjoy the fun. About eighty people
were in costume. The variety and
richness of the costumes were far in
advance of those of any carnival prev-..
iously put on in Exeter. The short
comic hockey match was a source of
much fun for those engaged and the
spectators. The prize winners were:
Lady's costume, (Turkey) Mrs. W. J.
Heaman; Gent's costume, (Japan) John
Newcombe; Comic costume, (Ruben)
William
Muir; 'Girl'scostume, (Plower
Girl) Miss G. Anderson; Boy's costume
(Queen Bess' Page) Frank Knight. Al-
though this was the second carnival
here within a week the successattend
ing it has shown that the people are
heartily in favor of sport of this kind,
and to cap the climax it is reported
that another one, greater and better
than ever, will be brought on before
the winter breaks up. Watch for the
date.. -
