NOVEMEER BLOCKADES
Snow -blocked roads in the middle
of November is a very unique exper-
ience in this part of the country,
but 'that is the experience we are go-
ing through at present.
Yesterday. the snow:fell almost
continuously, until it became well
nigh impossible for a ear to travel.
The hotels have been fell of travel-
lers who could not get on their usual
trips, while the garagesr have.been
crowded with ears.
The London bus did not show up
yesterday at all, although the Strat-
ford-Goderich bus has been getting
through. Trains have been late, but
so far are going through.
Railway men, can recall bad storms
which delayed trains for
hours or held thein up for days, • but
never one which looked so much like
a real blockade in November as the
present one. 1904-1907-1917 and 1918
are recalled as having bad storms,
Ent perhaps we are getting our worst
one over early this year.

very unfavourable weather on Sat-
urday.

SMALL FORTUNE FOUND IN
BALL OF CARPET RAGS
J. H. Asquith, Stratford weaver,
found 8360 in cash tucked away in
the centre of a ball of rags which
had been
sent to him by an Auburn
customer toturned into be mn d a rug, but'.
it did not take long for a claimant
to the money to appear.
Last Friday night, 18 balls of car-
pet rags, each about 18 inches in
diameter, were delivered to Mr. As-
quith. They -were to be woven into
a rug fpr Mrs, William Weber, of
Auburn. Mr. Asquith started to
work, winding the rags onto cops
which would fit the shuttle of- his
weaving machine. The 'rags were
motheaten and he had considerable
difficulty with there. Tho 15th ball,
on which he was worldng was no
better than the test. As he neared
the core of the hall a strange sight
met his gaze. The back of a $5 'hill
was showing through the few re-
maining strands of oarpet rags.
There was not just one bill, how-
ever, there was a regular wad of
them in five, 10 and 20 -dollar de-
nominations. In all there was 8362..
Mr. Asquith might have put the
stoney away -it was a small fortrme
to him -but he did not clo that. Hie
conscience would not let hits, he
said,
Mrs. Weber, who sent the raga to
him, was communicated with. The
rags had been given her last fail, she
said, by a relative. They had orig-
inally belonged to Mrs. Henry Doerr,
who died a year ago. Following the
latter's death relatives found lame
suns of money secreted in - various
places about her _home, and relatives
believe she had also hidden this mon-
ey 'inside.the ball of carpet rags.
"I bet I've burned 40 balls of earl
pet rags in my- time 'because they
were moth eaten. But never again
--;trot until I've seen what's in.' the
centre," Mr. Asquith is reported to
have remarked.
LOCAL SCRIBE MAKES GOOD
The' editor of a country newspaper
retired with a fortune. When asked''•
the.secret of his success, he replied:
"I attribute my ability to retire
with a '$100,000 bank balance, after
thirty years in the newspaper field,
to close application to duty, pursuing
a policy , of strict honesty, always
practising rigorous rules of economy
and to the recent death of my uncle„
who. left me $98,500."
