P. R. was a good many yeare ago an alderman of the City of Winnipeg. This gave to him the right•at that time to sit ae a Justice of the Peace. sA oompo'sitor on' one of the papers had been arrested for. carrying a little toe much liquor in side his personality. George. Ham was called upon during the absence or sick nese of the ordinary occupant of;the bench to act as a 3'. P' The ".accused, delighted at the fact of Ham being the judge, cheerfully pleaded "guilty:" 'To h's horror he was addressed as follows; "Prisoner, the sentence of the court upon you is that you be taken to the place in which you were last confined and then be hanged by the neck until you be dead, and may the Lord have mercy upon your soul." The 'man gazed in horror. Or," continued the Judge, "you may pay the costs of this court and go home " This was the only case in which the alderman presided as a judge. 'as' says he, °"that was the only great criminal case in which I was eyer a principal." Andy Broder's Latest The genial Andy Broder, of Dundas wee in Ottawa a few days ago. He was telling Commissioner Denis Murphy. and two or three other friends, about the succesful celebration of the Anniversary of Uhreeler's Farm "How is the bank doing?" enquired Mr. Murphy. This was a reference to 'the Morrie erg branch of the Bank of Ottawa Sir. Murphy being one of the directors of the Ottawa institution. Andy's eyes twinkled as he replied, "First rate, but the management is rather fishy Denis looked startled and asked, "How so?" The el.

Monday's'Tieento Star, Many of the students at the Ontario' Veterinary College' are in, a state of: rebellion at . the conditions there, and airinvestigation may, be demanded by friends of the college from the Minis ter of Apiculture. A few days ago a petition,waspresented by the second and third year students err, the rein statement of, Dr. W,.J R. Fowler for rnerly of the Faculty .of the College,. who resigned last year. The pet;tiot was presented to Principal E A, A. Grange anti was iuteuded to be sent on to the Minister of Agriculture, hut nothing has been • heard- of the matter to date. The Cause of the Trouble In connection with the college there was a clinic which was managed by Dr, Stewart. But the addition to his own work Dr. Fowler was asked to take the lecturing in obstetrics and sporadic diseases of cattle. He did that work in addition to his own until last year when he rebelled against continuing it, as a man was appointed to do that work by the Ontario Gov ernineut, who was drawing a salary for the position. Two years ago the practice in the clinic was turned over to Dr, Fowler by Di•. Stewart. The students got the benefit of it all, Then the local veterinary surgeons wanted the practice to be discontinued and they would supply the 'clinics. This Dr. Fowler refused to do because it meant too much to the college as well as himself. N. t being able to make arrange ments with the college authorities s and refusing to continue the work for welch ibis stated, someone else was being paid, he resigned. But here is the humorous part. The clinic or operating place was at the rear of 153 Richmond street and the lease had about expired. Dr. Fowler was looking for a place to continue the practice, and the owner of the proper ty which was formerly leased to the college, renewed the ]ease to Dr. Fow ler instead of the college authorities. Therefore the practice of Dr. Fowler in the same place as when he handled it up for the college continues The result is that the students are the losers. and the clinic which has been installed at the Unti eio Veterin ary College ie.'said to be less exten sive, The second and third year students who have come back to the college expecting to have Dr. Fowler as a lecturer find that he is no longer there and are incensed. Privie S al Parlor furn iture, bedroom furniture 1 large coal heater, 1 small heater and 1 Happy Thought Range, and other articles of furniture must he sold by, Tuesday evening as the proprietor is leaving tower. JAS DUNEDRD Students Are Indignant. As one of the students seen at his room said, You can go East or West or South and you will meet "vets" everywhere who will tell you that all they know in the tvay of using the knife and operating, they learned from Dr. Fowler. - Another thing which has caused much feeling.' is that the calender for 1013 and 191,1 has in it the college faculty for 1912 1913, in this of course is the name of Dr, 'owler in the maul- place, As the figures 1912 1913 are in fairly small type, the students did not discover the change until they got to the College. Some were so incensed abeitt it that they threatened to refuse to pay their fees. Others talked about going home. The whole atmosphere is one of dissatisfaction as the petition to the principal a few days ago shows. Principal Grange absolutely refused to discuss the situation today. "It is a private matter." was Isis only reply to all questions, •••••w•ossess•.••.•• • WITH TEM CHURCHES. • • • •111•00••••••••••••••11 WESLEY CHURCH.
