full share of cultivating the highest

The Methodist church at'V etaskt,

its anniversary services and lifted
the last cent of debt from: the Pro-

amounted ,to $1250.' The church,
which wes 'organized ltwentty-!clighi
years ago, is considered, a pioneer
one in that new conutry and; the
reason Clinton IS. interested in it
particularly is because its present

The two, minutes of silence ,was not
very well observed ' 'on Saturday,

their -ordinary dttties'as usual. There
should be something" to call etre at-

ance, Thetown hell might be rung
at the hour, just as, a reminder.
It would not hurt us either if a
,short service were arranged, for, a
brief prayer and a baring of the tread,
as oilr thoughts travel back to the
great Struggle and 'the many who
made the supreme sacrifice, ,would
not do anyone" any hares It would
be a' gracious act, too, if on that

last 'the magnificent' herd of elk,deer
and antelope 'in Mr, J, A.. M. Pat-
rick's private gauze preserve near
town might have been Completely ex-
terminated by a couple, of vicious
mongrel dogs,. As it is one of Mr.
Patrick's invbluabie white deer, of
which there are but eight n'o'w in
existence, -has since died from, the
injuries received and the rest of the
herd, ivhiclt were practically tante,
have been made wild and tinap,•.
proachable,
Dr.. Simpson happened to be passim.,
the reserve and hearing the yelps of
dogs he got out of his car to
l
ives-
tt 'te, taking his shot gun with him.
He discovered two dogs worrying a
white deer, which wan heavy with.
sloe at the time, and these immed-
iately took off. Dr. Simpson fol-
lowed and shot one of the dogs as it
was eauleavortnR to escape tthugY

its home: -
The deer lwasi cruelly torn about
the haunches in'the legs and behina
the oar and died the sante day from
its injnrios, Without 'doubt these
dogs would have killed 'off the herd
bad their work not, been interrupted;
As in the confined space Si which the
animals are Rept they aro at a res;v
