A disastrous fire occurred here Satur-
day night when the Pryne 'Milling
Company's gristmill was burned to the
ground. Fire broke cut in the top story
at 7 o'clock and on account of the
height of the building the fire fighters
could do nothing to check it. The mill
was well equipped with modern machin-
ery and will be a loss to the community
as well as to the owners. The boiler -
house and engine room were all that
were saved. The loss will be in the
neighborhood of $20,000 with an insur-
ance of $9,000. The fire is supposed to
have originated from the stovepipe.
The mill was builtby Vanstone Brothers
in 1884.
THE KAISER AT HOME.
How He Freed His Mind to His Daugh-
ter's English Governess.
Many interesting facts bearing upon
the kaiser as a family man and also
as the proud ruler of an empire are
given in "Memories of the Kaiser's
Court," by Miss Anne Topham, who
was for some time English teacher to
I
the monarch's only daughter, now the
j Duchess of Brunswick. From this
book we learn that the kaiser was
wont to make jokes with his family
at the breakfast table and even to in-
dulge in punning.
Miss Topham and the kaiser fre-
quently held conversations on the sub-
ject of England, and upon one occa-
sion her imperial master remarked:
"You English people, you drink
those awful fiery spirits—horrible stuff
—whisky, brandy, what not: How can
you imbibe such quantities of poison -
oils liquid. ruining your constitutions.
simply ruining them—whisky and soda
everywhere? No, it's awful! [ tasted
it once—like liquid fire—ugh! Your
drinking habits are fearful!"
Though professing great admiration
of English everyday life, the kaiser
had a profound contempt for English
politics and politicians.
"Not one of your ministers," he said
to me on one occasion, "can tell how
many ships of the line you have in
your navy. I can tell him—he can't
tell me. And your minister for war
can't even ride. I offered him a mount
and every opportunity to see the ma-
neuvers. `Thanks very much for your
majesty's gracious offer. Sorry can't
accept it. I'm no horseman, unfortu-
nately.' A minister of war. and can't
ride! Unthinkable:"
During his visits to England he evi-
dently took careful note of valuable
relics and mementos of bygone ages,
and after one of these visits he thus
expressed his thoughts:
"Ah, on have never had a Napo-
leon to plunder and burn your country
houses! Your Ileynoldses and Gains -
boroughs, Where would they have been
if Napoleon's marshals or his soldiers
had seen them? Perhaps burnt or
destroyed or sent to the Louvre. Think
what It must mean to the children of
a house to live with one of those pie-
tures,
lctur" es, to absorb it unconsciously into
their mentalities! They mutt grow up
with a love of beautiful things. They
cannot help it. We hate nothing of
the kind. Our houses were stripier
and burnt"

IN LOVING MEMORY.
Lines written in loving memory of
Mrs. Cameron who died Mar. 20th, 1915.
For many years our family chain
Was closely linked together,
But ah, that chain is broken now,
And one link gone for ever.
The sunshine of our happy home,
Must ever clouded be,
But, thou, 0 Lord, has sent the cross,
We bear it all for thee.
How we miss her loving face,
None on earth can take het place,
Loving thoughts will ever linger
Round the spot where she is laid.
Yet again we hope to meet her,
When the days of life are fled,
Then in heaven well hope to greet her,
Where no farewell tears are shed.
—Mother and fath**

'IN OUR ADVERTISEMENT
OF LAST WEEK
I
In referring to the shoes made for the 1st
Canadian Contingent now in France, we
made mention' of the fact that according
to certain evidence submitted it was
stated that the Murray Shoe was the
only one that stood the test. We also
mentioned that we are sole agents for
The Murray Shoe
in ' Wingham, but we omitted to state that
the Murray Shoe and the Derby Shoe are
the one and same make. There are hundreds
of wearers of Derby Shoes in this locality
and as it may not be generally known that
Murray and Derby are identical we conclud-
ed that it would be best to make this fact
known.
Murray or Derby Shoe's are dis-
tinctly high grade. In fact they are as near
perfection as it is possible to make shoes.
and the prices are very reasonable.
