Negotiations of 1782-3," Prof. Sal-
d-uel Flagg Bemis, George Washing-
ton University, declared Toronto and
Southern Ontario had narrowly es,
caned becoming part of the United

which ended the American Revolu-
tion.
The Constitution of the United
States was founded upon concep-
tions and realities of nati+mal inter -1
est, said Charles A. Beard, New
Milford, Conn.
Harold A. Innis, University of
Toronto, told the convention the fur
trade of North America is an index
of wide movements in another ad-
dress, while Hon. N. W. Rowell gave
an interpretation of the British Com-
monwealth of Nations.
Arthur A. Hauck, Easton, Pa., de-
clared representative school students

til Thursday.

CONSTANCE
Brief mention was made last week
of the death of Mrs. Tasker, who
Passed away on Dee. 17th, in her
ninety-seventh year at the home of
her daughter, Mrs. J. J. Hugill. The
late Mrs. Tasker 'was born in Kent,
.England, coming to Canada with her
parents as a child, her maiden name
being Frances Addley. Tho fancily
settled in Esquesing, Balton County
where she lived until her marriage
to her late husband, Lancelot Tas-
ker, seventy-six years ago, when the
young couple came up to Morris
township, Huron county. After
farming for twenty-five years in
Morris they moved to the 13th of
Hullett, where they remained until
thirty-one years ago, when they re-
tired from the farm and settled in
Harpurhey. Mr. Tasker died twen-
ty-six years ago and for some years
she has made her home with het
daughter. She was of a cheerful and
happy disposition and could tell
many an interesting story of early
pioneer days, when highways were
blazed trails and oxen were used in-
stead of horses for all draught pur-
poses,. She was one of the last of the
pioneers of the "Queen's Bush." It
is certainly a far cry from blazed
trails and ox teams to paved high-
ways, luxurious motor ears and
Power machinery.

A MEAN THIEF
Goderich, Dec. 28.—A thief walk-
ed into a home on St. David's street
Monday and stole three pairs of lad-,
les' silk stocking off a Christmas
tree while the occupants were out
calling on friends. Then he walked
over one block to East street, in-
vaded a house whose occupants also
were out and carried away a purse
containing 560 in money. The thief
was apparently someone acquainted
with the habits of the people who
were robbed, for in both eases a
hidden key was Iocated to unlock the
front door.
