WIN'S " CLINTON'S* LEADING STYLE SHO 7PE " FRIDAY'S PLAY , The farce -comedy gut on in the ;own hall •on Friday evening, under :he auspices of the Public Hospital Board, was well patronized, every mat ;available` being 'taken, extra Mahe having had to' be placed at the pack of the hall. The play was well presented, es- pecially when considering that many if the actors were `before- the foot- fights for the first time. Those talc- ng part. Were: Me. 'Floyd 'Lodge, as Tim Gray, a rather young guardian if an attractive young lady, Missy Brown, (Miss Prances'Brydone), and a rather wild young man, George Fortes, (Mr. P. T,iverntore); Accord - Mg to the will leaving these two to Ms care- they were required to marry, ttherwise the large fortune left to' :hem reverts to the, guardian. They to not wish to marry, the girl being' in love with her guardian, But this was not even suspected by him and re dispairs of getting things settled rad is planning to take the girl to Paris to spend some months with an lant, leaving the house hi charge of 3eorge. She gives him the slip, itswever, and comes back to the house o find that her fellow -ward has, on tdvice of his friend, Jack Carson, ;Robbie Hale), decided to take room- ;rs during his guardian's absence in 'Her to make enough money to pay tis debts.

Pop Trarkins, who is terribly 'henpecked, and who, by the way, acts the part to perfection, loses a pearl necklace which Ma compells him to carry a - round in his hand, and this gives Zeke Stebbens; a rustic detective, (A. W Groves), a chance to exercise his ektil, the reward promised by Ma being Sara's hand in marriage. Sara, however, has another 'idea altogether. She has 'herself taken the. necklace and pawned it to buy handsome clothes, her mother not Approving of handling •much cash, amd When • she she comes of age she redeems the pearls and lets Jack find them and claims the reward for him. It all turns out happily, Jack and Sara are in love and plan' to be mar - vied; George and Nellie do likewise, George declaring that he will turn over a new leaf and go to work; Jim Gray 'd'iscovers, in spite of Missy's care to keep it from him, the as- rounding truth that Missy loves him, and they are happy, and even Pop Larkins and Ma eome to understand each other better Pop having declar- ed his intention to leave Ma high and dry unless she quits henpecking him, and Zeke isoing to sue the cone - g the wren sessol, andd aking him wrong lesson making'him lose the reward for finding the pearls.

As I reached the crest of a grade, I was travelling at a speed of about 35-40 miles per hour. As I reached the crest of the grade I saw a ear coming up the other side to- wards ire and on my side of the road. This car when I first saw it was a. bout 100 feet away from mine; pos- sibly less, and still swinging to his left. I immediately swung to my left or towards the south side of the road to get out of the way of theother car, touching iny brake lightly at the same time, I also saw that the oth- er driver was looking to the south towards a threshing outfit. At first I thought that the other driver was drunk and that I could get by him on the south side, as he did not ap- parently see my car and was snaking no effort to get back to his own side of the road. I was partially across the centre line when the speed of the other car seemed to increase and its driver swung towards the south and ran into right front of my ear. I went into south ditch. Pavement was dry and the weather clear." The driver of the other' car was without a permit it appears. He es: capedunhurt, or with very slight injuries. The.
