First Class Film
Once again we take our place at

Lrst glance one would take "Doomed

and perhaps we might even, call it
this but if we do it's with the strict
understanding that it's western of a
different type. "DOOMED CARA-

OLD TIME STUFF
Sy An OLD TIMER
Dr, you remember 7—
The day a farmer, who lived on
the loth concession of the township
of Grey, was driving a bunch of
eattle to the weigh scales at the
town ball, when something Pune
unusual happened. The cattle, used
to the quiet restful green pastures,
appeared to be much confused and
excited bY the buzz and activity of
mein street and kept looking from
aide to side as if for an opening
lh"ough which to escape. One at
the head of the group espied the
alley immediately south of G. A
Deadman's drug store and dashes .n,
followed by several others. Three
big steer's, a little in the rear, saw
their mates leave the street and
resolved to follow. But they did net
have the right number and entered
the dreg store. The attendant in
the .store, the late George Rogers
faille out of the hack shop to wait on
tL•e "customers" he heard enter.
Was ho astounded?, and why hot?,
to see three big horned steers in
his store. As Mr. Rogers could not
tilk their language, no sales were
made. The customers made their
way to the end of the counter, turn-
ed around the row of display tables
.,ncl cases with little or ro damage
and headed for the door. However
they also wrecked the entire store
front when two of them tried to get
out of the narrow door at the same
time. The proverbial "Bu11 1,1 a
China. Shop' 'allegory pales into
insignificance when compared with
the actual happening "Three Steers
in a Drug Store." Well the farmer
had lots of help in rounding up his
here. and from then on all went well
Sometime later Jim Fox, who kepi
a drug store in the next block, also
bad a rather unusual "animal ex-
perience." At that ' time he was
heed agent for the Dominion
Express Company. The goods were
carried by the Wroxeter, Brussels,
Seaforth stage route. For the most
part the freight consisted of easily
handled packages, but one Saturday
night the driver, from. Wroxeter,
arrived at the Fox Drug Store with
a hog in a crate billed for Sestort11.
The •animal was of enormous size
and weighed nearly halt a ton, Weil
Jim Fox had to board the monster
over Sunday and T do not believe he
was a bit pleased about it. In fact l
do know he was very much "peev-
ed." It took all the hands that could
be gathered up on anadn street to un-
load tie big fellow. You may be sure
Mr. Fox did not allow his wool end
"guest" to miss the 9 o'clock stage
for Seaforth on Monday mo.ning,
ii anyone knows of shop keepers, in
aiy line, who have "animal stories,"
1e connection with their busiaoases,
1.' beat the two referred to above,
We would be glad to hear about
them.
