Ask for edes Gr ti Meincable Waits ha the Cz3v.aistor.1 of age Empite. eharies Cotrwcy The Accession of Queen Elizabeth Three hundred and sixty eight .years ago, on 1.7h November 1558, Queen Elizabeth commenced her eventful and glorious reign of forty- five years. At the time of her acceseion Eliz- abeth was twenty-five years of age and was living in seclusion at Hat- field House, now the ancestral home of the Marcmises o Salisbury, to which she had retired after her short' imprisonment in the Tower of Lon- don four years before. At Hatfield she passed most of her time in study under the direction of her old tut- or, Sir Roger Aschame and .when she came into possession of her great heritage she was not only the most in.tellectual and highly-educeted woman of her day, but she excelled all her predecessors on the British throne in knowledge of statecraft and general affairs. There was but little grief at the death of Queen Mary, and the new queen ascended- the thieine amid scenes of unprecedented national re- joicing and almost universal satisfac- tion. On arriving at the outer gate of the Tower of London to take up her residence in what had once been her prison and might eesily have be-. come her place of exc.:mama she al- ighted from her horse and, falling on her knees„she offered ap ta thanks- giving for what she described as "an escape as miraculoue as that of Dan- iel out of the mouths of the lions." Elizabeth must, and will, over otand forth as a most remarkable woman, and sovereign. Stet thorough- ly understood the people she was called upon to govern, and she de- voted herself energetically and ably to the taskof civil administration. She loved her country passionately, and the speech which she delivered to her troops at Tilbury on the ap- proach of the Spanish Armada was no idle boast. In the course. of this speech, tho noblest record of any British monarch, she said, "1 have al- ways Placed my chieftest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and geed -will of my subjects; and, there- fore, I have come amongst you at , this time, not as for my recreation and sport, but being resolved in the midst and heat of the battle to live and die amongst you all, to lax down for my God, for my, kingdom and for any people, my honor, and my blood, even in the dust. I know that I have but the body of a weak and , feeble woman, but I have the heart of n king, and of a king of England, too:" subjects with greater. affect:on and Few sovereigns have inspired their loyalty than Elizabeth, and even those most violently opposed to he politically and religiously real ized that the prosperity of the country depended on the seciarity of her per- son and the success of her adminis- tration. The action of the religious fanatic, who had been punished by having his right hand cut eff at the wrist, and who promptly waved, his het with his left hand and shonted "God Save Queen Bess," is but one of the many shnilar instances of loy- alty displayed by those who had suf- fered severely by order of the laet of the Tudors. The great outstanding glory of the Elizabethan era arose from the dar- ing voyages of the British seamen. Tia overseas enipire of Britala was .not built up by any deliberatepolicy of the governnment of the Mother- land, and the private adventurers who sailed the seas in the reign of Qeen Elizabeth had little thought be- yond filling their ships ethth plunder and fighting the then -hated Span- iards. The galalnt Sir Wieldy Ral- eigh wee the one man of his day to dream of an overseas don -anion for his country, and he made the only serious attempts at colonieation in New World, but the adventurous, voyages of such men as Sir Francis Drake, Sir Martin Frobisher arid Sir John Hawkins were undoubtedly the first 8tops in Britain's successful .fight for the mastery of the. seas and mighty and wide -flung Empire, Qualified Voters Specified by Act Regulations Governing Balloting In Ontario Elections—Urban and Rur al Rights—Many Public Officials Debarred From Casting Ballot Toronto, Nov. 8.—Voteas of On- tario will go to the polls on Wednes- day, Deeember 1, to elect the seven- teenth Legislature of the province.

Regarding the secrecy of the bal- lots, the regulations are very strict andillegal pragtices are explicitly de- fined along with substantial penal- : ties. One clause of the Election Act indicates that it is even a "false pre- tence" to represent to a voter direct- ly or indirectly, that the ballot to be used or the mode of vothur tat an election, is not secret. It is provided that "no person shall interfere or attempt to interfere with a voter when 'narking his ballot pap- er, or attempt to obtain at the poll- ing place information as to the can- didate for whom the %ter, has voted or is about to vote. I "No person shall communleate any information obtained at a polling place as to the candidate for whom the voter has voted or :s about to , vote: I "No person ;hall, directly or in- directly, induce or attempt to induce a voter to show his ballot paper after he has marked it, so as to make known to any person the name of the candidate for whom he has voted.

I have noticed that the bull- ocks which are carrying the most meat when I buy them commonly make the biggest gains afterwards." He prefers Ontario steers as they are quieter then Westerners. The steers are wintered in loose pens. While as many as twenty head have been run together, Mr. McMil- lan. considers that ten steers to the pen is best. The ration consists of sweet clover silage, alfalfa hay, straw and a lit- tle grain.

The bee! seheme is to throw away such a rim and got a new one, as the price is cont.: pared to the priete of a new casing. ; Guard rims from dust and dirt. Re- move the casings occasionally aud see that the bead of the elm is clean. Rusty rims cause thc easing and the tupe to stick and they can be re- moved only with diffieulty and with possible damage to both. When the eide or the flange of the rim be. comes badly rusted it cuts and ehafes into the base or head, of the tire, causing it to weakcm and eventually • to blow out.
