THE CHAUTAUQUA HERE, . The Chautauqua opened its four- day course in Clinton on Tuesday afternoon with a concert by the Wil- liam Shakespeare Concert Party, consisting; of Mr. Russel Clark,' bari- tone, Mrs. Marjory N. Baldwin, col- oraura soprano, Miss Helen Hunt, violinist and Miss Betty Forsythe, pianist and accompanist. Each num- ber was pleasing and it was alto- gether a very charming progrlam', being enjoyed alike by music lovers and others whose ears are not so well trained. Iii the evening the same party gave a very pleasing little musical pre- lude before the lecture. The au- dience was fain to let them go and they were recalled time and again. The lecture on Tuesday evening was given by Mr. Carveth Wells, who spent six years exploring in the jungle of the Malay Peninsula for the British Government. Mr. Wells has had many interesting experiences 'and tells about them in a very interest-. ing manner, also throwing upon the screen many scenes front the jungle. Mrs. Wells, who usually ateompanies him on his lecture tours, was ill and unable to appear but he called four young girls and two boys from the audience and dressed them and him- self to represent a Malay family, Yesterday afternoon Miss Con- stance Boulton of Toronto, one of Canada's best known women, spoke on the subject: "The Canadian Woman in the World of Today." -Miss Boulton had her subject well in, hand and in her own winning, though forceful, way she endeavored to in- spire women to take up the task of helping to build up Canada into the kind of country it ought to be. Miss Boulton showed that this could not be done unless women took their task more seriously and endeavored to prepare themselves to perform it. She urged them_ to study the public questions of the clay and be pre- pared to vote intelligently. She urg- ed them to read the newspapers, pay- ing as "much attention to the editor- ials as to the advertisements." She thinks that women should be repre- sented upon the school boards as their influence is needed there. Miss Boulton is herself a member of the Board of Education in Toronto, and is keenly interested in the welfare of the children. The address was much enjoyed 'by a large audience, mostly women, to whom she partic- ularly spoke, though there were a few men sprinkled about among then:. In the evening the entertainment consisted of a performace by Panna- hasika's Pets, a number of • trained animals and birds, with a lecture by Prof. Pamahasika. This was a unique entertinment and was enjoyed not only by the large number of chil- dren present, but by everyone, some of the performances of the birdsand animals being such that one could not believe it possible •they could be so trained. Prof. Pamahasika said that the training was entirely the result of kindness. The concert tent was filled to capacity for this per= formance. The London Quartette gave a very pleasing concert as a prelude to each entertainment. on Wednesday. This afternoon the Wagnerian Quartette will give a high class con- cert and this evening in. addition to the music by the Wagnerian Quar- tette Mr, W. H. Stunt will lecture on: "Seeing Life Whole." Tomorrow, which will be the last day of the Chautauqua, The Old Song Singers will give an entertainment in the afternoon, wearing the cos- tumes of Ye Olde Tyme, and in the evening they will .again perfoi a af- terwhich a lecture will be given by the Rev. Dr. Robert Norwood on "The Dominion and its Destiny." Those who, .have not yet attended any of the entertainments should encleavoe to take in these last sessions, It is quite worth while and a privilege which has not cone this way before. ¶ Prof. Regos soperintenclent of the Chautauqua and his assistants are Messrs. Clark and Anderson, who are remaining in town during the week and aro tookig after the run- ning of th ter two grounds, WILL RECEIVE, HAS BOUGHT A FARM. Mrs. T. J.

THE SCOUT CAMP. • Although the behaviour of the Weatherman was only middling an enjoyable time was spent by the boys. The north-west corner of Mr. C. Wallis' field provides on ideal lo- cation for a Scout Camp. On arrival the tents were soon pitched and the camp was well organized when din- ner was served to almost forty hun- gry boys The hardest thing in a Scout Camp is to plan fax the next meal, Rev. Mr, Hogg, dignified with the title of "Quartermaster," took charge of the cooking department. As the time went on we found that not only could he make excellent porridge, but that he could play the mouth organ sing a song; in short that lie was a( "Good Scout". Not only did the boys play; but work had to be done.' The plan- ning of the duties was the job of Mr. T. Wright. This was done so well that everything ran smoothly. The scoldings, reprimands, threats, etc. belonged to the Scoutmaster's department. He got quite at home in this work. So much so that on one oecpsion, following a supper of pan- cakes made by the lady inhabitants of the camp, he gave orders all night in his sleep, much to the alarm of the Quartermaster, who was in the sane tent with him. These pancakes were an example to thio boys as to the way in which to smile and whistle under all cir- cumstances. During the night the mills soured, therefore no milk for porridge. Instead of throwing this milk otit Mrs. McKegney and Miss C. Ford salvaged ft and made pancakes. It was startling to see the amount of syrup and pancakes that disappeared that evening. For those who like big things, things great in conception and masterly in execution, they should have seen the pancake that "Twinkle" prepared for himself that evening. All remember' those pancakes. The boys went to church on Sun- day morning. Some did not want to go. They were in an embarrassing position, The rough and tear of a week in camp had not improved their wardrobes.. And although a nail will keep a pair of pants up, there are things that it can not and will not do, However they played the game and went to church. Oa Sunday Mr. E. Morrison took charge of the camp.

The Boy Scouts returned from camp on Tuesday, their regret being that the outing carne to an end so soon, The weather was not of the best for camping, being somewriat cold and wet, but the boys enjoyed it, nevertheless. A couple of cases came up before the local magistrate this week, one having to do With a complaint about sanitary conditions which is not yet concluded, and the other that of pas- sing a worthless check by a young man. He was allowed to go on sus- pended sentence. DEATH OF MRS, HAMILTON. The death took place on Sunday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. Jervis, Townshond street, of Mary Ann Temple, widow .of the late Mee W. R. Hamilton of'Teeswater, at the great age of eighty-nine years and eleven months. The deceased lady was a native of Norfolk, England, but came to this country with her stemma and family when about eight years of age. They settled at Brampton, where they made their home for many years, but most of Mrs. Hamilton's Married life was spent at Teeswater. Her hesband died twenty-eight years ago. Two daughters and one son survive: Mrs. Theobald of Cornwall, Mr. Edmund Hamilton of Woodstock and Mrs. E. Jervis of Clinton, with whom she had made her home for several years, For some time Mrs. Hamilton had been feeling the infitmaties of age but was able to be about for a part of each day but on Sunday weep she fell while crossing the floor and sus- tained a bad fracture of her log and the shock to her system was too great` and s$e lingered just one week. She Was a good mother and had tiro de- voted affection of her children. She was a life-long member of the Metho- dist church, The funeral took place froth the home of Mrs. Jervis on Tuesday af- ternoon, the services being conducted by the Rev. 5, Anderson of Ontario street church.

No doubt many of our readers read a poem which appeared on page three of The News -Record of July lst, en- titled "Roytal Northwest Mounted Po- lice," written by Jennie Stork Hill of Edmonton. But while many may have read the poem few perhaps remem- bered that the writer was a former e o � Clinton,beim •g, it is said residentf 1 the first woman teacher on the staff of the Collegiate. She was then Miss Jennie Stork and she afterwords mar- ried Mr. Hill, also a former member oe•the C. C. I. staff. They have for some time made their home in the west. THEY SHOULDN'T BE SCARCE, Mr. John Murray showed The Ex- positor a few clays ago a small bag of seed potatoes which he was sending to Manitoba to be planted. This seed was planted at his farm on May 29th last and was dug out of the side of the hills on July bth. Mr. Murray says that as soon as' the shoot from the potatoes planted have taken root, the original seed is of no further use and can be taken up and replanted to secure a second crop. Some years ago he received some seed from the late John" Thompson, "of McKillop, which he planted five times and from which he received four crops, the last being killed by frost. With potatoes at $5 a bushel, this is something well worth knowing and at any rate we would like to hear how the crop in Manitoba turns out. —Huron Expos- itor• CHURCH PARADE. About one hundred and seventy -Or- angemen joined the church parade on Sunday afternoon a special sermon being preached to them in the Bap- tist church by the pastor of the church and chaplain of the Lodge, the Rev. E. 0. Forde. Mr. Porde took as his text the words found in Eph. 5: 15-10: "See then that ye walls circumspectly, not as fools but es wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil." He reviewed the history of• Orangeism and urged his hearers to heed the call of the times for earnest and worthy living and to live up to the responsibilities devolving upon them as members of the Order, It was one of the largest church parades ever held here and the whole service was much enjoyed by all pres- ent. THE TWELFTH. A large number of Orangmen and their friends went to Goderich on Monday to celebrate the "Glorious Twelfth." South Huron's celebration being held there. Clinton lodge made a good showing] being the largest lodge in the par- ade. The Rev. S. E. McKegney of Clin- ton was the speaker of the day, al- though a number of other shorter ad- dresses were egiven, among them be- ing one by the Rev. W. B. Moulton, formerly of Clinton, who happened to be present. Clinton brought home three prizes, one for the band, which certainly made a good impression, not only for the music but the general smart ap- pearance of the members, one for the largest lodge on parade and one for the oldest man in the parade, Mr. D. Beacon' being the recipient. Mr. Beacom joined the Orange Or- der over seventy years ago but has not been a member continuously for that time. Another veteran Orange- man, who was also present at this celebration, was Mr. William Crooks, who while not as' olcl as Mr. Beacom, is perhaps the oldest member of the Order in this section, having been a continuous member for the greater number of years.
