Wrongly Named.
The "big head" is a popular way of
expressing a common' and very fre-
quent ailment. It arises frown various
sources, but the real foundation is
lack of sense. A little money de-
velops it in some people. A few good
clothes gives it to others. A little of-
fice where there is a chance given to
exercise some authority is often the
causes of it, while others get it by
having a little better job than their
associates. The truth is, no sensinle
person gets the "big head." The one
who becomes stuck up and stiff necked
from sources of any kind, is weak in
intellect.
Large Barn Burnt.
The Mildmay Gazette reports t . e
burning of what is said to be the
largest barn in Huron county. The
building was 80xI30; it belonged to
Walter Renwick of towuline of How -
ick and Carrick. The fire was caused
by epark from threshing eugine. As
soona s the fire was noticed, Mr.
Weber who was working near ran to
loosen the horses in the stable, and his
son went for water. Returning with
a pail of water, young Weber found
his father lying on the stable floor
kicked by one •of the horses. Two
horses tied in another part of the
stable and fifty pigs ready for market,
and all the season's crop were burned.
It ,is said that it will take $0,000 to re-
place the building, and the total loss is
$10,000. Two men in the silo, who
had to escape through the burning
building had a narrow escape, the
wind spreading the fire so quickly. A
distressing feature of the affair is that
Mr. and Mrs. Renwick are away in
the West.

o'clock. for the election of officore and

Good Advice This.
Good enough but not easy to follow,
is the following :-Do not let trouble
conquer you. No matter what cares,
anxieties or sorrows may vex or sad-
den you, do not preys yourself a
weakling by going down before them,
but show yourself noble in rising
above. them and using ,them to life's
purpose. Rather bear au insult than
give one; rather dry a tear than cause
one to be shed.
A Strange Bet.
The Fergus News Record gives the
following': -As a result of a bet some
15 years ago, one of our prominent
citizens has shaved his beard. Being
a prominent Liberal, he then stated
that he worild not shave again until
Laurier went out of power. We un-
derstand the bet would have been en-
tirely forgotten, but for the honesty
of the party himelf, who mentioned
the matter, and from that time on,
yes, and even since, the matter is
many times a day brought prominent.
ly to his nice.
A 'Cgriosity,
The 01inton News -Record says :-
Mr. John Jervis of Gcderich town-
ship, while walking along the Bayfield
River the other day came across some-
thing of a curiosity in the shape of a
steno resembling in form a lion and a
sheep, sitting back to back. The
stone would weigh in theneighbor-
hood of three hundted • pounds. Sev-
eral people viewed the curious forma-
tion, -some giving it as their opinion
that it ,is an idol worshipped by the
Indians of long ago, others suggest
that it is a proof of the fulfilment of
prophesy, the lion and the lamb lying
down together. It is at least curious
and interesting.
A. Y. P. A. Entertained.
, St. Paul's branch of the Anglican

"Stolen Diamonds."
This_ laughable comedy drama was
presented in Wingham Opera House
on Friday evening, by the Lucknow
Dramatic Club, under the auspices of
the Ladies Auxiliary of Wingham
Hospital. Although the night was
wet, there was a full house, arid the
performers pleased the audience im-
mensely with their efforts. Lucknow
certainly has some good amateur
talent. The ladies of the Anxiliar
Y
sincerely appreciatedthe kindness of
h
the Club in thus assisting the insti-
tution know as Wingham Hospital.
We understand that the total receipts.
were $168.60, leaving when expenses
were paid a neat balance of $126.65 for
the funds of the Auxiliary. The
ladies are doing a good work, by
furnishing linen and other neces-
saries for the Hospital. The Auxili-
ary is' an important factor in the
maintenance of the institution.
Imitated Moving Picture.
Three Owen Soundboys about 14
years of age, influenced by moving
pictures they had eeen on Saturday
evening, went out and purchased a
quantity of cayenne popp r, and,
meeting Wilfrid Brown, who was
going home, one of the boys naught
him by the arm while another threw
the pepper in hie face. The result
was that the victim's eyes were al-
most burned out, and it was With
difficulty that he reached his home,
Where 'his face Was bathed and his
eyesight saved. The boys were
brought before Magistrate Creator,
and bad no eiccuee to offer beyond
saying that they had done the act
merely for fun, and thought that the
only result would be that Brown
would sneeze. After warning them
that he mould make the sentenoe
several years' imprisonment the
magistrate allowed the boyo to go
with the payment of a fine. Mean-
time, the crown is taking action
against the play -house for -allowing
bwye under its arcate to eater,.
Spraying Demonstrations,
Mr, Kidd of the Ontario Agricul-
tural College staff was in town on
Monday, selecting farms on which
there are good orchards, in order to
give expert Spraying demonstrations
next Spring. We understand that a
farm in each of the following town.
ships was selected --Morrie, East Wa-
wanosh, Ashfield and Howick. The
locations will be announced later, and
fanners should not fail to attend
these demonstrations by experts.
Hard Winter -Expected.
Farmers in Ontario county are
preparing for a hard and long winter,
because the red squirrels and chip-
muCks have become very busy laying
in their winter food store, even going
to the extent of collecting green chest-
nut burre, breaking them open and
hiding aw ry for future use the unripe
chestnuts. The natives declare they
never before knew the squirrels to
teen green chestnut burrsor to begin
storing food so early in the fall.
Mr. Rosseaux Improving.
M. Rosseaux, who met with the
very serious accident at Blyth on
Wednesday of last week, is now in
Wingham Hospital. One leg was
amputated and it was hoped to save
the other foot, but it also had to be
removed. He is at present doing as
well as can be expected. His wife,
also bis mother, a brother and two
sisters have been here, and some of
his relatives are still in town. He is
under the care of Dr. Redmond and
will receive every attention at Wing -
ham Hospital,

World's Champion Cow.
"Margie 'Newman," No. 76,312, the
registered Friesian -Holstein cow owns,
ed by Charles Eldrige of Chimacum,
State of Washington, completed her
thirty days official milking test last
weekand noes stands as the prize
m&lk and butter producing animal in
the world. The test from which the
animal has just 'retired has been con-
ducted under the inspection of Mr. R.
T. Waugh, of the Washington State
College. The cow is one born and
reared on the Eldredge place at Chim-
acum and is a local product in every
sense of the word. The figures denot-
ing the wonderful amount of butter
and milk given for thirty days seem
almost incredible, unless one has view-
ed that animal and noted her wonder-
ful physique and build. During the
thirty day official teat, the cow gave -
nearly two Jens of milk, and from
this one hundred and thirty-one lbs.
of
butter were made.

The Owen Sound Sun gives the fol-
lowing remarkable case from that
vicinity :-Oa August the 24th, five
'weeks ago, Mr. Gardner, who le well
known throughout Keppel, missed a
yearling steer from his herd. After
several days had been spent in un-
successful search it was given up as
lost, though all hope of its recovery
was not abandoned, as it was thought
possible the animal might have joined
the cattle that were grazing along
the shore. However, nothing was
seen or beard of the lost steer until
Monday, when Mr. Gardner, visiting
the back of his farm, heard the low-
ing of a beast apparently coming from
underground, and hurrying to ivhere
the sound Cane frcdni, ' found the
long lost steer imprisoned in a crevice
of the rock, about two feet wide and
ten feet deep. There it had been for
at leaet thirty-two days, without food
or water. With assietanoe. Mr. Gard-
ner boon released the animal from its
prison, and though It was much
emaciated, it Was able, after it had
been given some food and water, to
walk to the barn, a distenoe of about
half a mile. The animal interne to be

on the problem ' of the union of
Christendom. Mr. Jeakins said :-
"That they all may be one was the
prayer of Christ; it can't be that our
Lord was mistaken in His ideal. If
the Church of England is eager for a
social•regeneration, we dare not reject
the alliance of any workers. The
church is to be one. It may be that
we shall not see it., but it is Christ's
purpose, and it cannot be baffled.
Let us pray and work for that end."
