A TALE OF TURKEY.
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.

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.

Military Masters.
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.

ROLL OF HONOR -
Several thousand officers and employees of the Canadian Paciao
Railway Company enlisted for active military duty with the Canadian',
Expeditionary Forces, and the majority of them are now in Europe,
bravely battling for Canada and the Empire. As particulars of Army
Reservists are not available, these lists of those who have given up
their lives for their country or been wounded in action are necessarily
incomplete, and do not therefore indicate fully the extent to which
the Company's officers and employees have participated in the great
•
struggle.
