shown one that weighed nine pounds.
It cost 30 cents per pound. The in-
spector made the man clean the turkey
before his eyes, and in the middle of
the stomach was a sixteen ounce fish-
ing sinker. All the turkeys in the
place were collected and turned inside
out and in each was found a lead sinker
with weights varying from 12 to 24
ounces.

W. C. T. U. COLUMN.
This column has been reserved for the
use of the Wingham W. C. T. U.
and will be edited by the members
of that Society.
It was in answer to prayer that God
came down. When the Lord came into
the midst of His people there was light,
life and power.
The regular monthly meeting of the
W. C. T. U. was held in the C. 0. F.
hall, Tuesday, Feb. 13th. There was
a good attendance; the President in the
chair. This being a special week of
prayer in connection with the Society,
the devotional half hour was taken by
Mrs. Boynton, of the Salvation Army,
who laid special emphasis on the power
of prayer. There were three new
members joined the Society.
The W. C. T. U. held a Silver Medal
contest in elocution, Thursday evening,
Feb. 15th, in the Town Hall, the first
event of this kind, and was highly suc-
cessful. Seven girls contested, all
students of the High School, and their
peformance was very creditable, the
successful one being Miss Lillian Ross.
The remaining six were then presented
with souvenirs. The judges were Mrs.
Moore, of Teeswater; Rev. W.J. West,
of Bluevale, Rev. Mr. Wacker, of
Whitechurch. The recitations were
interspersed with songs, choruses, in-
strumental solos and duets, selections
by the harmonica band, also short ad-
dresses by the resident clergymen. The
Mayor occupied the chair. The seven
contestants were Misses Lillian Ross,
E. Bower, M. Currie, G. Nicholson, E.
Gillespie, M. Williamson, and H. Buch-
anan. Miss L. Cope]and,whotrained the
young ladies deserves great credit.
THIS FROM A TORY PAPER.
(Toronto Telegram.)
Does Hon. R. L. Borden propose to
allow his Postmaster -General to cut
off the heads of Liberal postmasters in
any constituency on the strength of a
written request from the Conserva-
tive M. P. representing that constitu-
ency?
If so, Hon. R. L. Borden is going to
make himself look more like the pup-
pet of the worst and smallest element
in his own party, rather than like the
Premier of a whole country.
Every Liberal postmaster or ap-
pointee who is dismissed is a new
hand in the ropeworks that will sup-
ply halters for the necks of twenty
rbfservative members in this Prov-
ince.
If Rt. Hon. R. L. Borden
proves himself a premier rather than a
puppet, he will not permit his Post-
master -General to make "the blood of
the martyrs the seed of the church" in
the experience of the Liberal party in
Ontario.
If Rt. Hon. R. L. Borden should
prove himself a puppet rather than a
premier, he will permit his depart-
mental chiefs to give free rein to the
worst elements and impulses of a vic-
torious party, and the result must be
that never again will the Liberals go
out of this Province with only thirteen
seats to their credit,
The body of a woman who died in
Greenleaf, Minn., in 1894, was recently
exhumed and removed from the town
cemetery in order that the remains
might be placed beside the deceased
woman's husband in a cemetery some
miles distant. It was then found that
the body had turned to stone. Bag-
gagemen who carried the casket to the
train did not know that the body was
of stone and ascribed the extraordin-
ary weight to the fact that the coffin
was of metal.

MONTR*AL
After 45 Years In Prison.
From the London Chronicle.
The Italian brigand and murderer
who has been 46 years in goal has
come back to the new world—like Rip
Van Winkle or one of the Seven Sleep-
ers of Ephesus. One wonders what is
the thing that would most strike a
man who had been in confinement for
nearly half a century. It was the
motor car end the bicycle that horri-
fied the Italian bandit. An English
prisoner after ten years in prison was
astounded by the "shape of the wo-
men." But the ordinary convict on
release is most startled at the look of
his own face in the glass. For our
English jails deprive the prisoner of
anything that reflects his face, and the
man who has not seen himself for ten
years of rigorous confinement scarcely
knows himself in the glass.
Mr. David Ward, Toronto's first
pawn -broker, died, aged 73 years.
On the majority of farms, sheep are
kept pretty closely oonfined to the
yards for the most part, and there is
usually some big straw stack about,
around which they hover, both for
purposes of warmth and for picking up
feed. While there is no objection says
Farm, Stock and Home, to their get-
ting such feed as they can find there,
but there is a very great objection to
their burrowing into the stack and get-
ting their fleeces full of chaff. A chaffy
fleece is a very undesirable article.
The manufacturer can use it only after
considerable effort and time has been
spent in fanning and carbonizing it and
even then be cannot use it in the man-
ufacture of the finest woollens. For
these reasons, he can not afford to pay
as good a price for it as for a clean
fleece.
