EDITOk PET•rvPIECE, of the Forest

such a request a petty piece of business.
POLICE MAutnTRArE ASnkSWC declin-
ed to believe that a man named Weber,
of Seatorth, on whose premises 320 gal-
lons of whiskey were found, had
grog for bis personal use. The P,
M. evidently thought the capacey of Mr.
Weber was overestimated by himself
and as a consequence the "4o rod" did
not go back to beatorth. A good many
think the Magistrate a great judge of
measurements.
Femme is a commendable quality in
most cases end has much to do with
carrying a person over many a hill.
Here's a sample :- H. T. Mackland,
Guelph, is over So years of age, and 45
years ago was precentor in Knox church

evening lie sang s solo and did it well.
His 8o yenta did not bar him and he
"stayed with the job" because he had
pluck, There is a difference in the
meaning put on plink, Some think
that "nerve" or "gall" and pluck are
synonymous terms but they are not. A
few travel on their gall.
WHAT is the approxomite value for a
broken heart is the perplexing poser ash -

breach of promise suit. The fair clantsel
asked eeroo,000, as there were 1w„

that is if repairs cannot be made. We

Grant Andison Paid Tribute to
Memory of Pte, Chas. McMillan
Declared He was One of the Finest
Lads that ever donned Khaki
Uniform
Grant Andisol'a Ltribu1.0 to the mem-
ory of Pte, Charlie Uellillan, matte
fermi the pulpit of Knox church, last
Sunday, on the oecasinn of the special
utetanrial tierviee for Lieut. Fred. Hall
and Pte. :McMillan, was in the follow-
ing words :-
Dr. Gibson and Chi ishan ft lends :
1t is not an ea-ty task that has fallen to
my lot this morning, I ran assure you,
for not only is it hard for the to find
words with which to pay it fitting
tribute to the memory of one of the
finest lads that ever do's ed the khaki
uniform, but nit any event in all any
rut•eer has affected me so deeply as the
death in action at the front of Charlie
e tJilltut,
His was One of the most lovable and
unselfish characters it hits ever been
my privilege to come in contact with
acid during all the time he was in my
p
employ not wend passed ons harsh r
be-
tween us, In fact, I can never re-
member having heard 111111 say an Un-
kind word to or about anyone. As an
employee lie was one of the most
faithful, loyal and effirient a man was
ever bleseed with. We miss hirn sore-
ly and I will long treasure the mem-
ory of his valued services while with
my firm. Charlie McMillan was one
of thnae fellows who was always on
the job, cheerfully accepting what-
ever task fell t.p his lot to do, with
that happy smile of his that made him
such a favorite in buriness, on the
athletic field and in other spheres of
life.
Then the challenge 'tame 10 him to
play the game in the present war.
He enlisted with that same spirit of
determination to do his best that
ehararterized hirn in other walks of
life. I will never forget the morn-
ing that he informed ate that he was
going to enlist. With teats standing
in his eyes he said ;-"I do not want
to go, but of three of us here, I think
that I ant needed the least at home
and an I centiliter it my duty to go
over to France and do my bit." Thus
s andto
he went olit NOW n to train
t [
die ; and as we think of his great self-
sacrifice, well may we repeat at his
memorial service this morning,
"Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay clown his life for his •
friends."
Mr. Andison at this stage read po-
tions of two lettere he had received
from two of Pre. MrMillan's dearest
friends. The fleet was from hie moth-
er, because it conveyed a message to
many of his old friends iu the con-
gregation, stating, as he finished, that
these were the heart-rending lines
penned by one nt this tear's greatest
heroes, for a nation that nae produce
such mothers as Mra. Geo, McMillan
and such sons as bets, can never be
conquered. He also read a letter of
sympathy from one of Charlie's
chums, a young than who was prom-
inently connected with the congrega-
tion, now in England waiting his Darn
to go over, to the thing line. Continu-
ing his remarks. "Who would not
envy such a eulogy as thie, so bears
tifully written by one young man to
to the memory of his shush 2
In conclusion, I will endeavor to
pass nn to you, two of the thoughts
that T feel were uppermost in Charlie's
mind as he faced the end, in the first
plane, it. was that night when he bow-
ed his athletic frame down in front
of whet -el now stand, as he was bap-
tiseri, then manfully stood op as he
made this profession of faith when
nni0ng with this en gregataon, Then
that other voile he told me about the
last time I saw him, the day his bat•
talion, the 71st, left Wondetoek for
overseas --the farewell to his old pat-
ents in Brussels, when he was home
nn laetleitve. And now as we recall
the scenes and Ilia passing, I do not
think thitl.in all literature can mere
beautiful words be found to describe
them than tbnse famous lines from
ManCaulay's "Ho'atins,"
"Poe how can man die better
Than pacing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathera,
And the temples of bit dad 1'"
Time died Charles E. McMillan,
heroically and unselfishly fighting for
the principles his church and country
stand for in this war, and in defence
of his loved ones at home here in
Canada.
Mr. Andison then thanked Dr. Gib-
son for the privilege of being allowed
to pay his humble tribute to the mem-
ory of one of the Knox church heroes.

A regular storm period is central on
the 6th, extending from the 2nd to the
7th.
Owing to the imminence of the
Venus period, aid the moral's first
quat ter, and passage over the celestial
equator ne the let and 2nd, we may
expect the preceding reacLiounry
petiod to hold over into the regular
period, hence there will be threaten-
ing conditions, with more or leas
storminess, as December comes in.
On and touching the 2nd, expect a de-
cided fall if the barometer, a marked
increase of temperature, with South
winds, cloudiness and rain, wind and
thunder. especially toward the South.
A shift t reaction to rising barometer
and change to colder, may probably
follow about the 2'i d to 4th, but storm
conditions
willnickl return and
q Y
oma
from about bl ay the 401, to Thurs-
day the 7111, we may look for return
of falling barometer, South winds,
cloudiness and. renewed storms of
rain. The disturbances of this period
will require three or four days t0 pass
quite across the country, from the
point of their origin in the West, to
their disappearance in the East.
Durinc these days, each section will
have its share of all the changing
weather phases, as they succeed each
other in their consecutive march from
West to East. This outlook practical-
ly gives promise of two distinctive
storm centers to pass over the cou11t-
ry during the first week in December,
Two distinctive baronietic reactions
to higher, will be attended by two
marked changes to colder, with brief
intet•val of cleating weather. These
frequent and sudden changes from one
extreme to another of temperature,
even in midwinter, it will be remem-
bered, are the characteristics of the
Venus influence. Other things being
equal, it is an easy thing for Jupiter
Pluvins to stir up a thunder storm
any time during the dominance of a
rin ns at this
Venus period. Such atow
season of the year are always quickly
followed by rains turning to ice and
snow, with a cold wave that needs to
be anticipated and prepared for. So
sudden are the changes that follow in
these Winter Venus periods, that
on the work.
