posed to be the first days of spring.

M. Y. McLean is expected to leave
the hospital in Ottawa this week, his
ear trouble being entirely removed as
a result of the operation.
Hicks' last prediction of a heavy
snow fall on or about the 17th, did not
materialize in Canada, but certain of
the states got an extra dose.
It is said that an odorless onion has

Mr. C. Hoare, of Clinton, son-in-law
of Mr. Jas. Snell, of town, has sold his
property of 17 acres on the Gravel
Road, North. to Mr. Isherwood, of
London. for better than $10,000. It
is an excellent property. being practi-
cally all set out in bearing fruit. and
should be a good investment for the
purchaser.
Mr. Robert Dinney, who bad an-
nounced through the Advocate his
intention of commencing paper -bang-
ing, etc., on April 1st, has reconsider-
ed the matter and on Saturday re-en-
gaged as clerk with Mr. Wm. Barrows

A copy of the Ayton Advance pub-

Burne' birthplace (up in the bush in
Grey County) says of his fighting quali
ities and recent victories: "Tommy
Burns" bad an easy victory over Jim
Roche in Dublin, knocking him out in
l)j minutes. What sort of old women
pugilists have they on the other side
of the herring pond? It may not be a
proud boast, but we'll wager that we
have men in Normanby Township,
who never saw a fighting Arena, that
Master Torry can't knock out in one

Old Country dopes".
At an informal meeting of the Exe-
ter Bowling Club on Friday evening it.
was decided to call a regular meeting
of the Club for Friday evening next at
the Towu Hall at 8 o'clock, when an
election of officers and other import-
ant business will be transacted. A
cordial invitation is extended to all
persons interested in bowling. The
new ground will be used this year
and it is expected that the member-
ship will be largely increased. Bowl-
ing is certainly the greatest eummer
game in Canada to -day, and every
bowler is an enthusiast. Make a note
of Friday evening and attend the
meeting.

A school that grows steadily in pub-

Hicks' Forecasts For March.
A Regular Stom Period covers the
last five days of March, being central
on the 211th. The Moon is in perigee
on the 29th and in conjunction with
Eartb and Sun on the 31st, thus giving
three new Moons for this month. Fall-
ing barometer, rising temperature,
cloudiness and threatening conditions
generally will be noted in all western
sections eat ly in this period; but storms
will not reach their culminating crisis
until near the end, say on the :Pith and
31st. The temperature it apt to reach
very high readings, and the barotneter
fall far below normal about :31st, in
which events. storms and tidal waves
of dangerous proportions will he more
than probable within thirty-six hours
of midnight on the 31st. From the
filth of March to the 3rd April is an•
other tnost proh:shle seismic period.

On Saturday afternoon last a merry
party of girle and boys enjoyed a very
pleasant time at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Sweet, the occasion being
a birthday party given by their daugh-
ter, Miss Irno, in honor of the tenth
anniversary of ber birth, or, as she
naively expressed it. just as she was
striking ten o'clock. The children
engaged in such games as only the in-
genuity of children can invent, and
which are dear to the hearts of the
children the world over, until 5 o'clock
when tea was served, and the children
partook of the good things provided
for them, the interest centering around
the birthday cake, in which had been
deposited a ring, a 5 -cent piece and a
button, and much guessing there was
as to who would be the fortunate ones
in securing the desirable pieces of cake.
Miss Nellie Jones captured the but-
ton. Master Clyde Beaman the 5 cents
hand Mise Irno herself the ring. After
supper they again engaged in play.
until the sun bad completed his silent
but watchful journey across the sky
and the lengthening shadows warned
them that the night was drawing near
and the silvery moon and twinkling
stars lighted them on their homeward
way, where mother's kiss and father's
smile awaited them, and ere they were
tucked away for the night in their
snowy beds, tbey would be asked and
would relate the doings of the days,
and would perhaps say, as many of
them did express it, that they had had
a most lovely time. And right here it
might he remarked, that for unalloyed
happiness, genuine pleasure and con-
tented gatherings the "grown-ups "
can take many a lesson from the art-
less simplicity of the child, and the
more one understands the child's na-
ture the more clearly will they under-
stand the wordsofGod the Father when
He said: " A Little Child Shall Lead
Them"; and of Jesus Christ, His Son,
when He said: "Suffer the Little Child-
ren to Come Unto Me and Forbid Them
Not, for of Such is the Kingdom of
Heaven." And the love and fellow-
ship of the Holy Ghost soothes and
comforts each child in the blessed
ways known only to the Creator. -Com.
