Mr. Jones took a violent chill on the Sat- urday evening previous and when a doctor was summoned he was found to be suffering from pneumonia. Al- though he had been going about his duties all dayy his wife had asked him if he felt all right and he had answer- ed in the affirmative only a short time before he took the chill.

Mrs. McTavish spoke first, telling some- thing of life in the native Indian villages, a life which is indeed very primitive. Miss Evelyn sang very sweetly a little song in Hindustan. Adjutant McTavish spoke of his work, which has been done for the most part in "Settlements", that is in places where outlaw bands, people who have been living by stealing and Outlawry for generations, have been settled and efforts are being made to make good citizens out of them. "As you might expect," said Adju- tant McTavish, "work among such people is about the . hardest that could be found." But even for these he was not without hope. Some changes frontcomplete outlawry to Christianity here told, and when con- verted the natives are loyal and en- thusiastic. Adjutant and Mis. McTavish intend returning to India before long and they will have to leave their four- teen year old daughter in Canada to finish her education. One could not but feel as one heard them speak of their lives in that far off land, that they were spending their lives sink ply and earnestly endeavoring to car- ry on the work of the blaster whom they serve. Mayor Holmes gave a warm wel- come to the Adjutant ansi his fam- ily,having some nice things to say about the work of the Army. Rev. C. W. D. Cosens, pastor of the church was also on the platform with Capt. Bonar of the IocaI corps,, and .the visitors, After the address Mr. F.

Wolf Shot Near Town Wolf hunting in this vicinity is a somewhat rare sport, but on Wednes- day afternoon last a couple of: hunt- ers rather unexpectedly bagged a wolf. • Messrs. M. Batkin and Kenneth Stewart went out to hunt foxes and while tramping along the Bayfield River bank south of town a wolf ran out of the cedars not far from them. Stewart saw the animal first and fir- ed, wounding it, but not stopping its race. Baskin then fired twice and killed it. Rev. K. McGoun, who is garnewar- den here, said the animal was a brush wolf, a relative of the tinnier wolf, but somewhat smaller. 1t weighed twenty-five pounds. Applica- tion has been made' for the govern- ment bounty. This recalls a story we heard last year of a wolf having been sighted in the woods in the same vicinity by Mr, Ralph Hewson. But it was de- cided that it must, he a p o lice, -dog. It might have been this sane 'animal. The question now is, are there any more of them?

Sudden Change In Weather - A sudden change occurred in the.' weather last week -end. For the past week or so we have had lovely wea- ther, a bit chilly at night but bright, sunny days. Saturday it rained and' a few flakes of snow fell during the afternoon and evening. Sunday the - ground was white and the day was more or less blustery. The sun has. been shining since, however, and when that happens we can put up, with almost anything else. Looking up the files of forty years ago we find that just suoh a sudden change came, then and about the same date, so the climate doesn't alter much in the passing of the years.

The name of the Home and School' Association was inadvertently omit- ted from the list of those placing wreaths at the Memorial Tablet on •Remembrance Day. The omission was the result of hurry in preparing for the press after the holiday. Mr. Frank Bawden brought into this office the other day a copy of the old Toronto World dated Oct. 10th, 1907. It had been used as pad- ding behind a picture. An interesting article on early days in Goderich we may reproduce some time when we: have space. Lions Club Going On With Dental Work.
