meilakes. A field' of cut wheat belonging

away by the water. A mile and a
quarter north of town a washout oc-
at this point was ten to twelve feet
deep and running over the track.
The embankment gave way in several
places, .one'spot being alma, five
rods long. The trains from the north
and south inet at the washout and
exchanged passengers and express
and backed_up again. Fields of oats
and, corn We're beaten fiat as though

of the wheat in this section is cut

A, little mirth, a little care,
A burden now and then to bear,
A passing smile, a fleeting tear,
These mark the days of everjayear;
And life is good ar life is bad
According to the faith we've had:
Blue skies and sunshine come and
go,
The cheerless winds -of winter blow
Across the path of life, and thea
The springtime blossoms bud again,
And all mhst carry sorrow's cross,
For who would gain must suffer
Life rests us that we may endure;
There is no door that is secure
Against despair and hurt and woe,
All these the richest man must
And at the last his worth.„is known
According to the strength he's
Nor gold nor fame can keep away
The tempest when the clouds gtow
gray,
All that ca,n live until the last
Are memories of the happier past;
Thus life is good or life is bad,
According to the faith we've had.

THE CHAUTAUQUA,
After -presentiag a four-day Chau-
tauqua in Exeter the big tent that
was erected on the school grounds
was taken down Monday evening and
was shipped from here to Kiags-
ville. The Chautauqua in Exeter did
not receive the support of the public
that the quality of the program as
provided by the different entertain-
ers, deserved, It was a varied pro-
gram from artists who are spe,cialists
in their line. Under no othe,r way
than through Chautauqua can such
talent be secured to visit the, small-
er niunicipalities such as Exeter. The
hot. wea,ther, which preceded the
Chautauqua, the busy season by the
-TA:inners and the heavy rains which
fell on several days all told against
the success of the entertainments
and in coneequence the guarantors
' have- to go down into their pock -

The Chautauqua opened in Exeter
on Thursday afternoon. The CheSter
Scott Compauy gave sa musical pro -
Mr, Scott en the cornet being of a
high ordee. This company gave the
prelude at tile evening program
which!. was followed by an adress
by Dr, Babb. His leeure on "The 100
Per Cent. Man" was very entertain -
lag and inspirational and many claim
that it alone was worth the price of
a season ticket.
On Friday afternoon Mr. Anthony
Prince played several musical num-
bers on his accordicn, which he Aliso
did in the evening and he was well
-received. Lieut. Dempster gave an
interesting recital of conditions in
Russia 'as he saw them during his
22,000 mile travel through Bolshev-
ik Russia. The dark picture he paint-
ed of conditions in Soviet Ruesia
which he says is in a state of hope-
less chaos, was a revelation to most
of his liearers.
Turning from the grave to the gay
in the evening, Davis, Ufte magician,
gave a wonderful exhibition of his
skill that for over an aour drove
dull care away and mastified both
old and young.
The Saturday' afternoon program
was interferrecl with by the rain and
the music arid lecture were in
aiusical part of the program and
Mr. D. Lee Fitzpatrick gave his lec-
ture "Community Nuts to Crack." In
the -evening the entertaining comedy
'Conteatment" was put on and wee
a splendid success.
On Monday- afternoon a conceet
was given by Fergusdn's Light Opera
Quintette. Three members featured
scenes from some of the best comic
operas. As entertainers they were
unsurpassed. In the evening Hon.
Percy Alden, M.P., appeared and de-
livered a most thoughful address on.
the condition of Europe and "Re-
construction Problems in the British
Empire." His address was fraught
with information regarding Euro-
lpean conditions that people in Can-
ada were totally ignbrant of.
