Queer Things That Happened In the Name of the Constitution. The ignorance of the Turkish masses concerning political questions, says Sir Edwin Pears in "Forty Years In Con- stantinople," is shown by certain in- cidents of the revolution of 1908. The hamals, or porters. in the towns, like the peasants In the country, when they heard that his majesty had sworn to be faithful to the constitution, in. quired what it was. Was it a person? Was it a new caliph? And very few could give any clear explanation. The words "liberty" and "equality" meant something good, although they could not have said what To some they signified general license. Two English friends of mine were motoring outside Smyrna when a num- ber of Turkish boys set upon them and flung stones at them. The Eng- lishmen gave chase and caught the principal offenders. The eldest was asked why he had thrown stones. "Harriet var," was the reply. "There's liberty. We can do what we like now." The Englishman replied, "Harriet var, and I am at liberty to give you a good thrashing, am I not?" One of the boys said yes, he supposed that would be so, but he hoped the liberty would not be used. The Eng- lishman replied that it would not be used that time, but if the offense were repeated he would use it to the fullest extent. The workmen on a newspaper during that time asked for a large increase of wages. "But why?" asked the owner. "Because there is a constitution." The tramway men struck for higher wages, and the only justification that they put forward was that there was now a constitution. Yet men of all classes cheered in the lustiest manner for the constitution. Throughout the month of August smuggled tobacco was openly sold in the streets at a very cheap rate, buyers and sellers alike considering that the constitution allowed men to set aside the law that had made the sale of tobacco a govern- ment monopoly. Pte. Herbert W. Edgar of the Camp Hughes, Man. who is a member of the 152nd Battalion, spent a few hours at his parental home on the C Line of Howick, prior to leaving for overseas, ST. HELEN s. A quiet but pretty wedding took place at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm, Woods St, Helens, on Tuesday evening, of last week when their youngest daughter, Emma, was united in marriage to Mr. Richard Marton a prosperous farmer of Huron township, by Rev. J. Little' The bride, who was given away by her father, looked charming in a dress of white crepe de chene and bridal veil trimmed with orange blossoms. The wedding march was played by Miss Edna Woods,cousin of the bride. After the ceremony and congratulations the guests repaired to the dining -room and there partook of a sumptuous wedding dinner. The groom's gift to the bride was a beautiful watch and fob and to the organist a gold brooch set with pearls and emerald. The young couple left on the early morning train for Hamilton, Toronto and Niagara. They early with them the best wishes of the. community. The ladies of St. Andrew's Church, on hearing that Mrs. (Rev.) W. D. Turner was going to leave Blyth thought it fitting to make her a presentation and on Thursday evening after the service in church, they read a very ex- pressive address to her, expressing their high appreciation of the good work she has done in connection with the church during her four years residence and hoping for her continued success in the naw field of labor in Montreal. They also presented her a well.filled purse of gold. It is the intention of Rev. and Mrs. Turner and (family to leave for Montreal on Wed- nesday. GREY, With no small regret we tabulate the sad news of the death of Pte. Will Richmond, who died on Septemberl8th, from wounds received in battle. Pte. Richmond is a son of Hugh and Mrs. Richmond, of Elma township and was well known. The sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved in the demise of their valiant son and brother. We are sorry to learn that Robert Work, of Langdon. North Dakota, a former resident of this township, had a bad fire 2 or 3 weeks ago in which he lost his large stable, 11 teams, harness, feed, &c. He only had .$750 insurance while the lose will reach fully $3,000. Mr. Work is a brother to Wm. Work, of Grey township, and Mrs. James Bowman, of Morris. UU (.ROSS, There passed away in Culross, on Friday morning, Sept. 22nd, at the home of her nephew, Mr. Fleming Ballagh, 6th concession, Miss Sarah Ballagh, in the 81st year of her age, Miss Ballagh was born in Monnahan, Ireland, and came to this country with her parents when a child. They settled in Newcastle district and lived there for many years. After the death of her parents, Miss Ballagh travelled a good deal, returning twice for a visit with relatives in Ireland. For twelve years she kept house for the Rev. Mr. Clelland, of Port Hope. For about three years now Miss Ballagh has made her home with her nephew and niece, Mr. and Miss Ballagh on the 6th con, She was always able to go around until about eight weeks before her death. She was of a very capable and kindly disposition, a Presbyterian in religion, of interesting stirling character. Her death was due to the natural decay of physical forces.

Carried. C. BUTTON, Clerk. HOSPITALITY IN SYRIA. A Custom That May Have a Bearing on a Passage In Scripture. Approaching his hoped for guest, a Syrian engages him in something like the following dialogue, characterized by a glow of feeling which the transla- tion can only faintly reveal: "Ennoble us by your presence." "I would be ennobled. but I cannot accept" "That cannot be." "Yea, yea, it waist be.";. "No, I swear against you by our friendship and by the life of God. I love just to acquaint..you with my bread and salt." "I swear also that I fiud it impossible to accept. Your. bread and salt are known to all." "Yea, do it just for 'our own good. By coming to us you come to your own home: Let us repay your bounty to us." "Astaghfero Allah (by the mercy of God) I have not bestowed any bounty upon you worth mentioning." Here the host seizes his guest by the arm and with an emphatic, "1 will not let you go." pulls at him and would drag him bodily into his house. Then the guest, happy 'in being vanquished "with honor." consents to the invita- tion. Do you now understand- fully the Meaning of the passage in the four- teenth chapter of Luke's gospel? "A certain man made a great supper, and bade many, * * * and they all with one consent began to make excuse. •'• * And the Lord' said unto the serv- ant 'Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in. that my house may be filled' "-Abra- ham DSitrie Rllrbauy in Atlantic Monthly. An illustration of what may be done was dis^.overed in a chat with George E. Speiran, Lot 24, Con. 12, last week. In the past 6 months he has sold hogs to the value of $798.50. All the product was grown on his farm excepting 34 ton of low grade flour. His two sows had two litters each. The market has kept unusually high and the men who have the pigs are certainly fortunate. TU RN B ER RI1 The regular meeting of the Council was held in Bluevale on Sept, 25th, 1916. All the members present. Minutes of last regular meeting were read and adopted on motion of Messrs. Adair and Moffatt. A deputation from Wingham waited on the Council asking for a larger grant for the sidewalk up to the cemetery. Moved by Messrs. Adair and Wheeler that a grant of $20.00 be given in place of $10.00 and that Mr. Wm. Bolt along with Mr. Isbister act as a committee to see that the work is properly done, The following accounts were passed and cheques issued:- Robertson and McNabb, suite Turnberry and Culross viz Huron and Bruce, $31.65; A.

Alexander the (treat's active mili- tary career began when he was only eighteen years old and ended at thirty- three: IIannibal's lasted from thirteen to forty-seven:, Caesar's from forty to fifty-five; Gustavus' from sixteen to thirty-eight; 'rederick's from twenty- eight to fifty-one, and Napoleon's from twenty-seven to i:o'R'y!six. When thirty- five years old Napoleon said of him- self: "One has only a certain time for war. I shall be good for it but six years more; then even I shall stop." His downward :career began when he was forty. Havana. Havana, or San Cristobal de la Ha- bana, as it was originally named, was the last of seven cities founded in Cuba by the island's conqueror, the Adelan- tado Diego Velasquez, the date being July 25, 1515. Since that was twenty- three years after the well known Ca Iambus date there can't be many new world cities older than Havana, assum- ing that most of the other six in Cuba have since disappeared.
