Agricultural societies, the Clinton
society dogs not hold a fall fair but
it does hold a sprine fair that h •

cularly as a horse fait Yesterday
afternoon this annual vent which is
much looked forward to by residents '
of the county, took place and at-
tracted a crowd of aver 1,500 peo-
ple. There was a very fine showing
of horses, particularly in the heavy
draught classes and also an excellent
showing and keen competition for
roadsters. The cattle classes were ,
light, though the quality was high,
and altogether the fair was well up
to its past record. Some of the
principal winner, were Broadfoot

The story of Madame La Tour 's
one of the most colorful and roman-
tic in the annals of e.cadia. That
story is too long to tell here, but in
the pages of Perlman and in the lit-
tle book of Mabel Burkholder in the
Ryerson Canadian History Readers,
may be read the tale of her heroism
and her tragic end amid the tangled
rivalries that distracted those early ;.
years of maritime Canada.
Charles de La Tour, her husband,
had built a fort and trading post at I
the mouth of the St. John river, in 1
the present province of New Bruns-
II-1VIadame L
wick. His claim to possession of this
territory was disputed ey a rival
trader, De Charnisay, Each had se-
cured grante of laurel rind the mono -
rely of mete with the Indians from
the French crown, and the situation
er•endictded by the overlapping
of their domains, the intrigues of
their respective supporters at the
1ren•h court, and the claim of Eng-
land to the territory involved.
The conflict continued for year;,
with alternate successes and defeats
for ouch party. In the spring of
1645 Lu Tour went to Boston to beg
aid from Massachusetts against his
IN THE BLACK PIRATE ARRIVES
ANOTHER BIG FAIRBANKS SPECTACLE
In presenting "The Black Pirate"
which is coming to the Grand Theat-
re, on Thursday for the remainder
of the week, Douglas Fairbanks is up
to one of his pioneering tricks again.
The film is in natural color, and a
vast improvement, we aro told, over
past efforts at presenting color.
"Doug" has picked out tones which
are calculated to rest the eye—prin-
cipally browns and greens and their
complements. And all the color is
selected in accordance with its dra-
matic value. Four months of ex-
perimental work was done along this
line before a crank was turned on
production.
The story is an original from the
facile pen of Mr. Elton Thomas: All
the "yo -hoes" and "avasts" of 17th
century piracy are in "The Blade
Pirate," along with everything that
any pirate ever did, from burying
treasure to walking the plank. With-
out being. specific, Fairbanks chose
the, Southern Seas as his locale, thus
giving his adventure plenty of sea
room. Albert Parker r
e was custodian
of the " 1
megaphone on The Blatt
Par rte,"
Billie Dove, that lovely young
leading lady who is rapidly heading
for stardom, furnishes the pulchri-
tude in this picture and also Doug's
motive for cleaning up a couple of
shiploads of pirates.
Mr. Fairbanks opens this picture,
WO arc told, where most of them
end,—with the freebooters blowing
up a ;galleon along with the passcn-
grrr, cargo and crew. After this
placid incident things get exditing,
and the first thing we know the star
0 the black pirate; rowing about and
eapturime ships single. -handed and all
that, Ail told two ships are blown
up, and one is sunk under fire, The
hero ]a tirade to walk the plank, and
just how he extricated himself from
that unhappy predicament after his
hand, have harm tied behind his back
is rat,]1e a story in itself. After view•
ing this film there will no doubt be
an exodus of small bays to the equ-
atorial seas of various vacant lots
and hack yards to clig for the huge
quantities of doubloons and pieces of
eight that "Doug's" pirates bury.
With a story !leveret." ny the tang
of the sea and highly spiced with'
Fairbanksian stunts and the wildest'
sort of adventure along with a pleas -1
int.: romance, it would seem that
much is in store for nose who
go
down to the screen rn cushioned
chairs to watch the unfoldment of
flickering fantasies.
The east for the picture is of very
compact dimensions, There are on-
ly two women in the piece,—Billie
Dove and Temple Pigott, the latter
in the role of maid to th.F heroine.
Other featured players include An-
ders Rtindolf as pirate captain; Sam
10' Grasse as the villainous pirate,
' and Donald Crisp as a trental kind of
pirate. • tri support of these are some
500 of as wicked -looking freebooters
as ever stopped out of a story book.
To Reduce Postage.
A government bill is to be intro- c
deiced in the House of Commons to
reduce the postage rate on Canadian
daily and weekly newspapers from
one and one-half cents to one cent
per pound.
Speak Correctly.
"One Cent."
When you mean one -tent,'; of a
clime, or one-hundredth of a dollar.
Do not say Penny °m referring, to
Canadian coinage.
A Penny is an English eein, of the
value of about two cents. •
The word Cent comes from the
51151' Latin source as the phrase Per
Centum or per cent. It is do called ,
hecanfsr 0110 r e•nt. 1:1 one per centum

Tour
rival, in exchange for a share in his
trade and territory. He left his wife
in charge of the fort, which was de-
fended by a garrison of only fifty
,men. Chat'nisay, hearing of this, at-
tacked the post. In the first en-
counter, Madame La Tour beat him
off with the loss of 20 men killed and
13 wounded. Reinforced, he again
attacked. Inspired by Madame La
Tour, the defendants held out
against repeated assaults, night and
day, until toward evening of Inc
fourth day, Easter Sunday, De
Charnisay's Hien suceeded in making
a breach in the palisade and entered
the fort. After further desperate
resistance, Madame La 'Tour finally
surrendered, on promise that Oa
lives of 1101' men should be spared.
De Charnisay broke faith and hang-
ed all the survivors except one man,
whom he allowed to live on condition
of acting as hangman to his com-
panions, and Madame La Tour, who
was compelled to witness their exe-
cution with a rope round her own
neck. Broken-hearted, ehe fell ill,
'and died within three weeks of the
surrender. Somewhere within the
precincts of the present city of St.
John probably rests the body of the
heroine of Fort La Tour.
'ri;, picture gives an idea of the
arms and costumes of the period, At
close quarters the fight probably
was carried on with pistols, swords,
and 16 -foot pikes. Some of the com-
batants would wear steel helmets
and breastplates, while others would
be clad in wide skirted coats of buff
leather, without sleeves. Madame
La Tour's costume doubtless would
consist of a close -fitting bodice taper-
ing to the waist, with short lapels
over the hips, a deep, wide -spreading
skirt, and low shoes,
