Street Talk.
As I go woddling down the street,
some forty-leven men I meet and pass
the time o' day, and sometimes when
the day is gone I sit around and muse
upon the tiresome things they say.
Their talk is all of candidates and cau-
cuses and delegates and kindred stupid
things; of tariffs, trusts and iron heels
and Juggernauts with bloody wheels, of
fashions, cliques and rings. I get so
tired of all this rot, when flies are bac
and days are hot, that I could ru
amuck; I wish, I wish two guys in to
would talk like twowell-balancedmen—
alas, there's no such luck! I wis
some fellows would converse on Bacon'
proze or Swinburne's verse, or Dr.
Cook's exploits, would quit their view
ing with alarm and talk about the Gun
ness farm, of checkers, golf, or quoits
When I attempt to brag about my
steed, which trots a mile in less the
half an hour, my auditors look bore
and cry: "Why talk of horses whe
we lie beneath the Tyrant's power?
Why spiel of crowbaits when we fat
the deepest national disgrace, demni-
tion, and the dumps? If Woodrow
Taft elected is, to ruin this poor land
will whiz in fifty-seven jumps!" And
so it goes; I cannot talk of money,
marbles, mint, or chalk, or aught that's
safe ant sane; the dippy people won't
discuss a thing but this election fuss,
and they give me a pain.—Walt Mason.
—There have been nearly two hun-
dred appeals • made in connection with

--Kincardine tax rate for this year is
;iia milli. on the dollar. The increase

on the bonds of the Ontario West Shore
Railway. which amounts to $2,550 or

-•-On Wednesday evening, July 21th,
at the hone of Mr, and Mrs. Donald
:McKay, of Inverhuron, there occurred
one of the most elaborate celebrations
of a golden wedding that ever took
place in L'ruee township.
-- A number of counterfeit Canadian
one and two dollar bills have been found
in circulation in Toronto and Hamilton
recently. The police suspect that they
are being manufactured in the latter
city as more have been found there
than in Toronto.
Paying the Preacher.
At the meeting of the London Pres-
bytery held in London, one of the most
important matters dealt with was the
matter of ministers' stipends. It pro-
bably came as a surprise even to some
members of the Presbytery to know
that men engaged in the active pastor-
ate, with all the expense attendant to
their work, were obliged to do so with
salaries that in very few cases were
over $1,000 a year and that in a good
many cases were below that amount.
It was pointed out by one of the mem
bers of the Presbytery that there wer
18 ministers receiving less than $1,00
and that, these being country charges
they were compelled to pay about $15
of this out each year for horse keep
Itiwas decided that an effort -should b
made to raise the salaries in all case
to $1,000, and the congregations in th
Presbytery will be corresponded wit
to this end. The report of the speci
committee, which has been investiga
in the whole matter brought out thes
interesting facts. Out of 38 congreg
tions in the Presbytery 27 pay the
minister $1,000 or less. Nine of these giv
exactly 51,000, 18 give less'and 11 gi
more than 51,000. In every count
congregation the minister must keep
horse or hire one, and the cost of fe
and of repairing the wear and tear
harness, vehicles and horse flesh w
e stimated at from 5150 to $167 eve
—Some person in Wingham with
more meanness and less sense than a
skunk started a rumor that small pox
was prevalent in Kincardine, the object
being, it is said, to injure the Sunday
School excursion to the northern lake
town, but the dodge failed and the only
pity is the culprit has not yet been
eaught.••--Goderich Star.
—At a meeting of the boot and shoe
section of the Canadian Manufacturer's
As: ociation held in Montreal, it was de-
ckled to raise the price of boots and
shoes 15 per cent., the new prices to
come into effect on September 1. The
raise will affect the whole of Canada,
and has been rendered necessary by the
raise of ten per cent, in the price of
year. Last year oats cost from 50
55 cents a bushel and hay from 518
523 per ton. .o--
You've Got to Take a Chance.
If you go across the ocean, 3o
ship is liable to sink.
True enongh, but if you travel liable landyour train is
b e to be wreck
If you just jimmy around the ho
town. your automobile is liable to bit
up or throw a tire and precipitate y
quickly into a ravine on your elbo'
and shoulder -blades.
If you go buggy riding your ho
is apt to shy at a piece of paper in t
leather. road and kick you into the middle
the following week.
If you go out walkings an automobile
is liable to scramble you up or a foot-
pad is liable to tap you suddenly yet
firmly upon the dome of thought.
But if you sit still at home a hun-
dred things are liable to happen to you.
The gas stove is likely to blow up, you
may have.a fit, some weary way-farer
may come along and sell you a lot of
Turkish Pugs, lightning may strike the
house, and then there is always the
possibility of an earthquake..
At the very best you have got to
take a chance whether you want to or
not.
