WHEN YOU 'GREET A FRiENA,
Tell Him. He's Looking Fine and See
Hew It Cheers Him.
"By George, old man, you are looking
finer
Did you ever notice bow you perk up,
no matter how poorly you .were•feeling
before, when some friend greets you in
that way7 •
According to the secretary of the
Colorado board of bee4b, the human
system just naturally uegins to tone
up under the stimulus of such greet-
ings.
Ile declares it is an aid to health
and a help in preventing disease, and
to that end he advocates a "tell your
friends how well they look" movement.
"It is not only bad taste to talk of
your pains and ailments," says the
doctor, "but a reflection on your intel-
ligence and knowledge of sanitation
and good health. We are not far from
the time when the cause of illness will
have to be accounted for personally.
"In other words, nature is no longer
. going to be blamed for sickness when
it is simply the result of ignorance, in-
difference or wrong ways of living."
Do you not think it worth giving the
doctor's idea a try? ,

Since the commencement of the war
no less than four men who were making
their home with Mr, and Mrs. Amos.
Cornelius, near this village, have enlist-
ed and are now in the service of the
King. They are; Herbert Clark, now
in France; Frank Vanner, in France;
Bill Vanner, with the 71st in England;
Bill Prince, with the 160th Battalion
Band, Walkerton. All four were stay-
ing at Mr. Cornelius' when they enlisted.
Evidently that would be a good place
to send the "slackers".
LITERARY FORGERIES.
Stuff With Which Vrain-Lucas Duped
An Aged Scientist.
The most remarkable literary forgery
on record was perpetrated in 1870 on
Michael Chasles, a French scientist
of European reputation. Chasles, who
was in his dotage, purchased within a
few years from one Vrain-Lucas no
fewer than 27,000 autographs. A. M.
Broadley tens the story in his "Chats
on Autographs:"
"Beginning with a supposed corre-
spondence between the youthful New-
ton and Pascal, Vrain-Lucas proceeded
to fabricate letters of Rabelais, Montes-
quieu and La Bruyere. Before he had
finished M. Chaska becametbe posses-.
sor of letters in French, and written on
paper made in France, of Julius Cae-
sar, Cleopatra, Mary Magdalene and
even of Lazarus after his resurrec-
tion."
Vrain-Lucas was sentenced to two
years' imprisonment, and among other
forged manuscripts from his pen there
were produced in court letters from
Alexander the Great, Herod, Pompey,
Judas Iscariot, Sappho, Pontius Pilate
and Joan of Ara

Battlecry of the Cat.
The piercing warcry of the cat in
the night startles asld exasperates us
beyond all bearing -not by its loud-
ness, but by a certain vicious, weird,
half terrifying, half infuriating note in
it that makes us' spring to arms with
the bootjack or, other substitute for
the boomerang, as the warwhoop of
our tribal enemies did a century or
centuries ago. says Dr. Woods Hutch-
inson.
One of Mark Twain's wise old fron-
tiersmen had caught this note when
he explained to the tenderfoot that.an-
imal speech had rules of , composition
and grammar. just like human speech,
and that "the reason a cat riles ye so
ain't on account of the noise she
makes, but on account of the sickenin'
bad grammar she uses."
And he was
right, for the grammar of scalp lifting
and the whole alphabetof battle, mur-
der and sudden death tingles and
screams in the rasping cry.

The Weather Changeth Not.
The oldest weather diary known to
be in existence was kept by a Lincoln,
shire parson; William Merle, close on
600 years ago. From 1337 to 1344 he
wrote it up, often day by day, in Lat-
in, and his manuscript: being on vel-
lum, was somehow preserved and is
DOW !n the Bodleian. Merle did not
trouble himself with the popular lore
about "skyey influences," but stuck to
an accurate record of fact, in the spir-
it at least of the modern meteorolo-
gists. And from his jottings•it seems
that he had pretty much the same
kind of weather to deal with as folks
in his parish of Frilby experience now.
Contrary to theory, the changes of six
centuries have not reduced the number
of wet days in the year.- London

MORRIS
Sunday morning, May 28th, an old
and well known resident of the 3rd line,
in the person of Richard S. Armstrong,
passed away, aged 76 years and 3
months. His demise was not a surprise
as he had been in failing health for the
past couple of years, a heart trouble
being the cause. Deceased was born in
Co. Cavan, Ireland, and came to Canada
with his father's family when about 2
years of age. They lived in Kitley
township and then in Tuscarora town-
ship, Brant Co., moving from the latter
to Morris township, when the subject
of this notice was 15 years old. They
took possession of N;2 Lot 27, Con. 4,
upon which Mr. Armstrong lived until
his decease. 53 or 54 years ago deceased
was united in marriage to Maria Ingram,
of the same line, and to them were born
11 children. The six sons are Chas.
and ,'rank, in the West; Rich., W. H.,
and Alex., of Grey township; and Lewis
at home. Daughters are Mrs. Abbey,
in the West; Mesdames -Warwick,
Morris; Mrs. Rutledge, of Dakota; and
Mrs. J. H. Sellars, deceased. Mr.
Armstrong was industrious, thrifty and
a good manager and with the same
qualities possessed by his children they
have prospered. Deceased belonged to
the Anglican church. He was a good
husband, a wise father and an A 1
neighbor, Mrs. George Crooks, Brus-
sels, is the only survivor of a family of
9 in the Armstrong family, 7 of whom
were sisters.

Toronto, June 5 - Union Stock Yards,
June 5.-Ruyers made a serious effort
to cut down butcher cattle values 20c,
and drovers declined to give way until
after a dull early session, when they
agreed to a recession which varied from
10 to 15c. Even at the decline trade
continued slow, and at noon a fair
proportion of the 3,000 head of cattle on
offer were still in the pens. Later in
the day drovers in a few cases sub-
mitted to a further slight sacrifice, yet
the market closed dull. The choice
butchers among the offering were not
so much affected as were the medium
to fair quality. but the general quality
of the pick was not equal to that of a
week ago. Three loads cashed in at
$9.75, which was the top price of the
morning, except in the case of three
baby beefs, which brought 10c per lb.
A few loads of cattle sold from $9.00 to
$9.25, and the bulk of the remainder
found values between $8 25 and $8.50.
Cows and butcher bulls were a steady
and normal trade.
There were only a few minor calls for
stockers and feeders, farmers still
holding off in the hope that prices may
be further reduced. This morning's
values dropped 10c, but the decline was
not large enough to influence business.
Springers were a moderate trade, but
milkers were very quiet
Sheep and lambs continued active and
steady, but the better class veals firmed
and closed 15c stronger.
A large shipment of hogs over the
week -end went direct to the packers,
and there were only a few decks on the
open market. The quotations handed
out by the packers were on a $10.75
weighed -off basis.
The receipts were 150 cars, with
3,268 cattle. 161 calves, 211 hogs, 314
sheep and lambs.
