Sunday, Dec. ,4th.—bl a.m.—Public Worship,, Subject, "Walking at Lib- erty." 2.30 p.m,—S, S. and Bible Class. 7 p.m.—Public Worship. Subject, "Refusals." A VETERAN TRAVELLER. A few years ago near Toronto, while robbing a hen roost, thieves lost a suns of money which repaid the value of the birds to the 'farmer. Last year The .News pu'b'lished hbw this occurrence had been the cause of a rumor that chicken thieves had lost $200 in a hen house at Brucefield. And now, this year, the story comes from Harriston that a farmer found a purse containing $200.in his turkey pen the other morning, evidently dropped while twelve fine birds were being stolen. It nmst be customary for thieves to carry $200.00 to lose when they go a -robbing. More likely the story ap- peals so much to the sense of justice that it continues to live and travel.

CHRISTMAS MAILING. The Post Office Department is .mak- ing special efforts this year to relieve the -tremendous pressure on the ser- vice during the Christmas season and with this end in view, the following Mailing dates are -suggested to the public: Dec. 10, --Yukon, United States (to allow for customs examination). Dec. 15—British Columbia. Dec. 17 — Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Maritimes. (Dec. 19—Ontario and Quebec. Dec, 20. -Local Delivery. Permission is also granted to mark your parcels "Do not open until Christmas." The United States custom authori- ties require that a customs declaration be attached to all parcels over 8 oz, in weight.
