We recalled there was only one buggy urea in the neighborhood, which one farmer still persisted in using, with his rather good-looking horse, when he went to town or made visits in the townships. He would- not conte to church with that old-fashioned outfit, because, as 'he thought, it would draw conspicuous attention to himself. How some men never grow out of that'. And so he pays the costly price of staying away from his fellow -worshippers. Sunday by Sunday, through the years. But the tale that was told was respecting ..an enterprising neighbor who took a recent trip to the northlands of On- tario with the object of selling some 'good, yet unused, cutters of which friends of his were disposed to rid .themselves. This man bought three every good specimens of these winter outfits, that long had reposed in barns and sheds, for $8.25.

But just as sure as we shall need coal for fuel there conies the day, and the men of northern lands where snow lies deep through the winter know it, when there will be necessity for the wheelless vehicle that is associated with one of our best-known Canadian songs, "Jingle Jells."

I wonder how it would be sometimes for the teacher with some local histor- ian to take the pupils of the nearby schools to these God's acres and have the children impressed with the care and respect and respectability that ought forever, to be associated with these graveyards.

A porter on being asked for an explanation said, `'(.)h, there was to be,,,• „ funeral, but the ccirpse has missed the connection." .The same writer relates how in court an advocate could get only the shortest of answers ,frons: a witness.
