A dog supposed to be mad caused quite an excitement on the 6th con. of .Arthur township last week. It me- andered through fields and farmyards, and nobody knows where else, until it turned up on Mrs. James Kidney's premises, where it worried a find big sown This aroused the neighborhood and a lively pursuit followed, when guns, axes, pitchforks and various efforts were used to exterminate the unwelcome canine. Mr. Geo, Alcorn, ono of lits MHjesty's veterans, who did active service in India, despatched the brute with an axe in a close encounter after a hot chase. The head was amputated and rent to the depart- ment at Toronto. 'Word has since been received that the suspicions were well founded and the animal was r,uffeting from rabies. A government official followed the, report, who guar• antlned all Mrs. Kidney's stock, but her three working homers. Colision At Orangeville. On August 24th, a freight train from Owen Sound, consisting of some eighteen cars laden with stone and lumber, drawn by a big mogul engine No. 1700, collided with a smaller mogul standing in the railway yards at Or- angeville, ready to start north with freight when the line Was open. The down train got stalled on the top of the hill near here, broke loose and ran away. The forward tars broke the switch entering the yard, and the engine went over on the passenger track for which the switch was twin- ed. Tho tender left the rails, snd the forward Rr} loaded ed with stone was smashed, the front half telescoping the tender. The smaller engin!., No. 1755. Was erayhed into a reduc,?d speed and had the front eonelderably dam- aged, The Toronto train was five hours late reaching there and the Winghatn train delayed two hours. i --� BIG LEARING SALE "-- B Going Out of Business 1 A few months ago I told you I was going out of Men's Furnishings, and that I was going to clear them out at unheard-of prices—and I did.

To most of us the rat has been familiar from our boyhood The de- structive little brute caused us no small ex- citement in our early days on the farm. FIe R as always nosing around among the oat or the wheat bins, and eating holes in the bags of grain In fact, nothing was sacred to hint We early learned that he was an exceedingly intelligent animal. After we had caught a certain number of his family in the trap, we could catch no more, although from the damage caused by his tribe we well knew that he was just about as numerous as before those erring sons of his wan- dered into our trap after the enticing piece of cheese. That he was a valorous animal and a great fighter, was demonstrated every time we emptied the trap in front of the dog. Towser made a jump for him, but unless the old dog was pretty smart the rat would send him yelping down the field. Also, when we cornered a few of the rat family in a bin and went after them with the pitchfork, we, ourselves, sometimes were made to beat a hasty retreat. If the rat were as big in stature as we are, It is doubtful if we would have the snap we have controlling the animal lcingdom. Mr. Rat would dis- pute the pos- session of our o w n homes with us. Small as he is, he disputes it with us now. We have been trying to squelch hint for many years past, and he has been defeating us at every turn. IIe is more numerous than ever before, and Is doing more dam- age than we ever supposed. A recent estimate of the dunnage he does in Canada each year was placed fat a fabulous amount. It was more millionsr pe year than most farmers have dollars in their pockets when they go to market. It has now come to this, that the selentfsts all over the world are dis- cussing means to pet rid of the rat. In Paris a campaign has begun, but has not met with much success. In London something Of the Mame nature le going. on, The rat is said to have come over in a ship from China. All we can say is that we heartily wish he had taken the next ship back. Unfortunately, he obtained a foothold in England, and multiplied at such a rate that he is now found all over the world. It is a strange explanation of the coming of the rat, but that is how we are told he cane to be here. Fortunately for the farmer, the rat seems to be originally a town animal. Apparently he is not a suburbanite, save by education. IIe prefers to in- habit underground passages and sew- ers and pick up a living wherever he can find it. Yet he is now spreading out into the country more and more, and unless the fanners do something to combat his advance he will be a serious menace to their prosperity, be- fore many years have passed Around farm buildings is constantly to be had a surplus supply of food. The rat can find more to eat in a well- stocked barn than he could possibly know what to do with. There are eggs to be broken open and sucked, and young chickens to be eaten. There are loads of flour bags, and, in fact, the farmer leaves no stone un- turned to make things really comfort- able and enticing for the town -starved the fields, and it is complained that he is now numerous enough to be a serious menace to the crops. But if the farmers will employ concrete in the construction of their buildings they ought to be able to make it ex- ceedingly difficult for the rat to take shelter in their barns Keep the rat out of the barn and he will try to get Into the house. Keep him out of the house and he will be decimated by starvation during the winter, when there is nothing for him to eat out- side. Fortunately, a liberal use of con- crete in the construction of buildings win not cost the farmer anything. in fact, after he has found out the ad- vantages of using concrete, he will feel rather grateful than otherwise to the rat for having been the cause of his education in the matter. When it is remembered that barn floors or feed- ing floors constructed of concrete will never wear out, that they will keep out mud and dirt, that they may be washed down and kept Clean, that by a proper juncture between floors and walls, all apertures through which rate may enter may be done away with, ono begins to appreciate somo of the advantages of the use of con- crete. A ROOT CELLAR AND A 5EEDINO FLOOR—DOTIU OP CONCRETE, THE MODERN BUILDING MATERIAL rat. The rat appreciates this, and takes up his quarteve on the farms, bringing with him, Very often, the germs of disease from his dirty city haunts, The question is, What is the farmer going to do to combat the advance of the rat? What is mankind, as a whole, going; to do about it? It is a serious question, and we know of but one answer. It is this: Make build- ings that he cannot enter. Construct buildings of concrete, a material which will not rot and through which it is absolutely impossible for the rat to eat his wvay. In a cold country like Canada, it ought to be possible to starve, the rat to death during the winter. Certainly It IN possible to starve hint on the farm, In summer he stay toraga fn Ono has only to let his mind rest a short time on t h o subject and use a little ingenu- ity to be con- vinced that there is abso- lutely no ex- cuse any long- er for many of the disad- vantages at- tending life on the farm, note that a mater- +; lel which Is cheap And which may bo moulded into almost a n y form, by any reasonably intelligent person, is available. in this one mat- ter of defence against rats, there Is not a progressive fernier in the country who could not surround with an inde- structible covering his granaries and root houses and other places where he stores his flour or other articles of which rats are, co fond, and of which they make such havc,e.

II, Palmer, district passenger agent of the Michigan Central Rail- road, does not believe in the "Go West" slogan. Mr. Palmer has his headquarters at St. Thomas, and has made his observations through ex- perience. His business takes him over a large territory, and he sees and hears much of so-called opportunities for young men. "I don't see what everyone in -this part of the country wants to boom the West for. When you get right down to it there is nothing in the West for the farmer but the raw and wild country. You might make a success of it and you night not. You have to take a chance, You are taking no chances when you settle in Ontario. The country is rich and fertile, and you have marine and railroad facili- ties right up to your very door. "In commercial and industrial life the young man has as many opportu- nities as he can handle. I£ I had a son who needed it I would start him on a farm in Western Ontario. The most of the young farmers have fled to the west, and there are scorns of opportunities on the farms right now. The farmer is the most independent individual I know of, There is au ever increasing demand for his pro- ducts, while prosperity around the farm is picking up all the time. That's my tip, and I know, There is big money in being a farmer in Ontario right now, "Everyone around here joins in the crywof "Go West," and then they won- der why no one stops off in their town from the long string that is moving westward. "Ontario needs booming more than the West does. Ontario is just as pro- ductive as any part of the West. It is the heart of civilization, near to your friends and in a climate that can be predicted the whole year round. You give the best of your enthusiasm and your young men to the West, and then begin to wonder why you pine away and die. Look about you at thi,• level, fertile and God -inspired coun- try, ann then go out and make a big noise that will bring folks here to turn its riches into gold and prosperity." ain in cart "For two years I had pain in my Heart, back and left side.

Not what we have, but what we use; Not what we see, but what we choose. These are the things that mar or bless The sum of human happiness. The things near by, not things afar; Not what we seem, but what we are— These are things that make or break, That give the heart its joyor ache. Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what we dream, but what we do— These are the things that shine like gems, Like stars, in Fortune's diadems, Not as we take, but as we give ; Not as we pray, but as we live— These are the things that make for peace, Both now and after time shall cease.

His head was almost completely severed and death occurred a few minutes after he was released. Scalded And Died. While an elder daughter of Mr. J. Akitt, of the 6th line, Erin Tp„ was carrying a pail of boiling water to scald the separator on Saturday morn- ing, Lillian, the three year old daugh- ter of the home, who had been todd- ling around, asked her sister to re- move her bib.
