Allbright escaped into the bush and after being traced 8 or 7 miles was caught while hiding in his employer's cowshed by Chief Fitz- ehumene, of Olinthn, and ,Chief %Vhjtesides, of Hensel!. The lad was taken to Clinton at midnight and sp- peered before Magistrate S. J. An- drews Thursday morning, When dr rested Allbright had the rifle, which be had taken From the Lydiatt twine. He said he did not know why he bad acted in such a manner, Allbright went across the road to his chum'e place and was shown the new guar and how it worked. He made a second trip Wednesday when no one was in the hoose, It is alleged that he then secured the $15 and went upstairs and got the gum, Mrs. Lydiatt hearing a distutbance, came in and started up the stairs and was met by Allbright with the rifle and the couttnand "Bands up I" The woman slammed the door In his face and tan outside to raise en tilartnt Allbright givingchase.

Judge Dickson addressed the prisoner at some length, stating that Allbright had served a terra at the industrial school for thieving and that it was bard to decide what would be the right punishmenpe to give him in order that ho might come out and start life over again in the right path that would make a man of him. His honor sentenced Allbright to the Bur - wash Farre for at least 8 months and not more than 2'years less one day. FINE FARM SOLD. --The fine 150 acre farm of W. S.

Hood, When Air. Hood de- parted this life he held 3offioers 2 of which came to hie, the other going to P. A. McArthur, of Grey township. Knowing the 'thoroughness, neatness and dispatch with which Mr, Hood did anything entrusted to hitt 'I con- sidered it quite an honor to be offered any office which he had held. Dr. MCAeh arae the M. H. 0. at that time an:l was succeeded to turn by Drs. Hamilton, Stewart, Bryans and White, all of whom I have been as- sociated with and found there gentle- men. Everyone of there men of abil- ity, good judgment and common sense, conscientious holders of the im- portant office. If they erred i6 was principally because all the facts of the case had not been reported. As I un- derstand it the business of the B. O. H. is to see that all churches, schools, wells, school closets, public buildings, and rilaughterhnuses are in a sanitary condition, to quarantine any one in the township having a dangerous communicable disease, except flu, which is not on the list and to see that they are properly attended to and if at all possible to prevent the disease from spreading. In this some- times people willingly assist and gracefully submit to the rulings of the Board but at other times it re- quires a lot of tact, knowledge of jest what ahonld be done, a will to do it lend a willingness to overlook many rebuffs. In writing this fair, two sides must appear, the unpleasant, un- appreciated side, and the other though not pleasant in the fullest settee of the meaning of the terra yet understood and appreciated, taken in the spirit in which it was given. As I always like an unpleasant thing done quickly, have it over and done with I will take just two instances of the unkind fleet. One morning •I started for Brussels on business of my own when there I happened to meet the M. O. and he happe H. said he had some work to do that I could do for hien and as he was very busy he asked Inc to do it, which I readily consented to. Next morning I was called on the phone by the man whose house we placarded, he being absent the day before, and was given till 12 o'clock to take the card down aid got other• abuse the worst and hardest to forgive of which was that my wife had reported the case so I could gaet busy and make a little money. I. asked him how touch he thought I would get nut of the job and he said 50 cents, thereby adding insult to abuse. It is unthinkable that any woman lvould send her husband to a place where thete was contageous disease and run the risk of him bring. ing it home to her and their children for 50 cents. Bahl the thought is - unworthy of any one who calls him- self a man. May he be able to for- give himself for the pain he caused. In this particular case .I worked to oblige a hard worked doctor and ac- cepted, itis thanks and do not want anything more, The other was the dense ignorance I rnet on the work just recently, where a large portion of the language addressed to me was profane, demand- ed to see my, papers and 1 was ordered to "On on," hut I will draw a „veil over this side, forgive it all and try' to Varga it, On the other side are homes we have visited whore the Dr. and nurse souses and everything went as desired, the little °nee soon gob well and were out '"Rosy cheeked to laugh and play and sing And all was as joyful as a happy clayu ' iuw ri P 4•' a tetime , 1 8 things not c Sometime at.r s ltd n5 g g wanted curd then, and thea ''Oh 1 lonesome shadow over a11, Because a little child is missed, Who does not answer to love's call Or come at bedtime to he klased. We do our work and go away Trust peace will cone in answer to our ,prayer While Heaven seems 1101 so very far away Because the little child we loved is there," At tithes like thio very little can be done or said but we know by lock and tone that our solicitude for and sym pithy with. them is understood anti appr•epiated and this and kind words from others mark the side that linget"a. in our memory; As to the financial side 1 see by the Financial report ending Dec" 1501, 1910, that Dr. Hamilton received $8.00 D Laidlaw, $8.00 ; N. A. Taylor, '$8:00 ; A. McElwee, $2 00; H. Johnson, $200 and by the last statement I get 318.00 ; Dr. White, $50 00 ; Reeve Elston, $0 00 and Clerk McEwen, $8.00 for looking after the contageons diseases among the people of Morris during the year. IL is evident on the face n4 it that the B, 0. H. does trot work for, the money that is in it but does a lot free for the good of hurnanit.y. Some seem to think that an office on the Board of. Health is of Minot importance, but as good health is our best, moot valuable ' n no nth blessing asset,withnut which other e enjoyed to the full,it therefore can be 1 y surpasses all other work in the pro- portion that good health exceeds the possession of power :and wealth and without any egotism the best men available should be on it. I have always faithfully tried to do my part and heartilythank a Fong. Buffering municipality for their toler- ance and forbearance with my mis- takes, for their support and many expressions of good -will and apprecia- tion of my services I thank present Council Boatel for their kind words and their earnest desire to have me continue at the work, .I hope my successor, Peter McNabb, will be able to steer clear of the snags, retain the esteem and confidence of his fellow ratepayers which he now holds, keep the office as lung as he wishes and' re- tire with his glory undimmed. Per- haps itis idle to waste time telling the other fellow all .the wonderful things that you have done, for he might not believe you and besides it will be tire- some for him to wait for his chance to tell the wonderful things he has 'done so I will just finish with these lines of Bennett :- "A little touch of kindness to others, OOW and then, A littlebit of bliuduess to the faults of other then The wish to be forgiving and life is `north the living As the glad world swings along." Yours truly, H. Jo tesoN, Horticultural Society Last Friday evening , the annual meeting of Brussels Horticulturnl Society was held in the Audience Room of the Public Library.
