In 1892 they L, came to Seaforth where they have since resided, Mr. McKay being en- gineer at the waterworks, Deepest sympathy is extended to the bereav- ed family in the passing of a true wife and mother; whose every thought and deed were for those she loved, and her kindly, helpful spirit endeared her to a wide circle of friends. Besides her husband she is survived by four sons and two daughters, William Mc- Kay, New Liskeard; Mrs. J. E. Wil- lis, Seaforth; Melvin McKay, Nia- gara 'Falls; Kenneth, Vancouver; Fergus, at home, and Donald, of the McLagan Co., Stratford; also three brothers and adtsister, William Carno- cban, Linwood; Samuel 'Carnochan, Elmira; John Carnochan, Grey; Mrs. Robert Boyd, Seaforth.,There are also thfee half-sisters and a half-brother, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Hone, At- wood, Mrs. Gill, Ethel, and James Carnochan, Listowel.

The man looked 'as though he might be in need, so the quarter, too, was forth - coining, but much to the surprise and disgust of the would-be benefactor,' all signs of hunger vanished, the:mon- ey was pocketed, and the man walked away. IIow many quarters this speci- •men picks up every clay would be in- teresting to know, but no doubt he makes a fair living. The incident recalls the following story: "Please, mum," said a tramp, "would you he so kind as to let; me have a needle and thread ?" "Well, y -e -s," said the housewife at the door, "I can let you have that." "Thankee, muni. Now, you'd oblige me very much if you'd let me have a bit of cloth for a patch." "Yes, here is some." "Thankee very much, mum. It's a little. different color from any suit, I see, Perhaps, mum, you could spare me some of your hus'band's old cinthes that this patch will match!' ."Well, 1 declare You're clever, my man. and 1'11 give you an 'old suit. Here is one." "Thankee greatly, nude. I see it's a little large, mum, but if you'll kindly furnish me with a aqu`are meal, mebhy I can fill it out." EUCHRE AND DANCE.
