If you know of an iter) or a pie's of
news, tell us about it. That's what
we want. But a newspaper roan
sometimes experiences more difficulty
in gathering news than one would im-
agine. This was the case wben a re-
porter in a neighboring town, who, a.
few days ago was sent to write up a
fire in a residence. Going to the door
he inquired for the lady of the house.
The maid said she was out. "Are any
of the faunily at horueY' inquired the
scribe. "No. they are all out," was
the reply. "Well, wasn't there a fire
here last evening?' "Yes," said the
hired girl.'"but that's out too."

Can>tht Red Handed.
Gordon Brown, a young man whose
home is at Farquhar, was brought be-
fore Magistrates Kay and Farther here
on Tuesday last to answer to a charge
of housebreaking. Messrs. Beavers
Bros., merchants of Farquhar, have
been missing money and goods from
their store, but to capture the culprit
seemed a difficult matter, the thefts
being committed during their absence
from home and usually on Sunday.
Determined to catch the guilty party
they engaged the services of Constable
Bissett of Exeter. On Sunday Mr.
Bissett went out to the scene of the
thefts and secreted himself in the store
while the folks of the store drove
away. It was not long before Brown
took advantage of the situation and
breaking open the back door proceed-
ed to the front of the store wirers he
was captured red handed. Their Wor-
ships committed the young Haan for
trial and he was
in taken to Goderich Cole, PhialTues(la}• moruinK.`jHicks' Forecast for February. . •
A Regular Storm Period is central
on the 23rd, prevailing from the 21st
to the 26th. The storms of this per- _--_
iod will culminate in central to eastern
sections from Sunday the:3rd to Tues-
day the Lith. The barometer will fall
in western extremes by the. '21st, fol-
lowed by cloudiness and rain in those
sections by the =ad; but these condi-
tions will widen and intensify as they
pass eastwardiy across the country
during the '2.1rd to 2lith. The vernal
equinox will add force to the storms,
especially in the southern parts of the
country, through all the last half of
February, and severe to dangerous
equatorial storms will be quite pos-
sible, beginning about the 17th, to-
ward the West Indies and working up
to the South Atlantic and 'cult coast
regions abJ1)1 the 22nd to 25th. In the
event of such storms in the south, we
may confidently count on rough, bor-
eal storms, and cold, disagreeable
weather over most parts of the inter-
ior. We believe that such will be the
case and so warn and counsel the read-
ers of these forecasts.
Advertising Makes the Town no.
A writer in Printer's Ink makes an
interesting diagnosis of the reason
