A case of iriterest to all munici- .• palities was heard in the City of Ham- ilton in the Supreme Court reeently. , The employees of the municipality ; were using a road grader on one of the town streets at noon Saturday, and after they liad ceased. work plac- ed the grader on a side street to the -highway intending, no doubt, to leave it there until Monday morning, when they would be using it. During Sate urday afternoon some .e,ildren climb- ed on the grader and were turning the handwheels and amusing themselve5 in other ways; and a small boy five years old happened to get his hands on the bevel bearing while the hand- -wheel was being moved, with the re - stilt that three fingers on his right hand were so badly injured that it -was necessary to amputate them.

The ladies filled the coun- cil chamber, a room adjacent and the corridor and urged the dismissal of any officials who were asleep on the job. Needless to say all the coun- cillors promised,a thorough investiga- tion., , • • X X X Following is a letter that appeared in a Western newspaper, written by one of its readers. There is informa- tion in it for merchants:— "Your paper is always boosting that home town 'buying is the right thing, for if everybody bought away we would not have a town very long. In .yonr editorial a week or two ago you said there would be less huying from cat- alogues if every merchant would ad- vertise, because it is advertising that keeps the catalogue men going. Well I believe that's right, too, but one thing I would. like to see all the lo- cal merchants do—arid there are more who think' the same—and that is for them to print the prices as much as they can. in their advertising.. And I also think that if the prices are going up they should say so and 'tell why, if they know. These times we all. have to bite onr nickles—or most of us—and we certainly don't like the idea of prices going up on staples, particularly, and not a word. about it till you reach the store. I am not aneadvertising expert but I know what I would. like to see in my local paper along that line, and that is a lot of genuine. information about goods and prices every week. Then we should feel better and if we found we were being • fairly treated there would. be less sending away. I hear this talked about a lot, so thought I would write you." X X X The Toronto Globe -and the Tor- onto Telegram have given consider- able publicity to the fact that progres- sive euchre parties in the city of Tor- onto promise to meet an inglorious end in the PoliceCourt. It is under- stood that individuals and organiza- tions have been profiting to quite an extent from holding progressive eu- chre parties and giving such prizes as a ton of coal. They charge around 5o cents for admission and have largq halls crowded. The telegram says in part: , 'In one instance the officers were told. that some women who attend these games at night take their chil- dren with them, and, leave the kid. - dies to sleep in the hall while'rnarn- ma tries to win a tin coffee pot. To -day the Morality Department withdrew charges against the ,Bea- ches Adanac Baseball Club and the Scottish Football Club., Others will be 'proceeded against to -morrow. • Mr. Jo -nes made the following an- nouncement; "All such card games as are similar to the games com- plained of, when prizes in money or goods serve to attract the public generally by reason of the game,. should be punished."

Consternation will spread in the , ranks of people who frequent such games when it is learned that, in addition to the charges laid gainst the organizers of such games, those who frequent them will be prose- I Cheaper Fire • --- • nsurariee •1.= Flirt Insurance ' furnished on dwellingS Wingharn, at less IN Ili than ToWtisliip IVIutual rates-- • with, no 'premium note to sign.

Verses 28-29—The Great Change What they saw was Christ's own person, his own fact, own garment but how changed' The figtire, the face, the dress, all became white and glistering. Prayer was • with Jesus a habit; the atmosphere in which he lived and so in this great crisis be went up into the mountain to pray. 'What was the subject of his prayer to which this great change seems to have been an answer? We can gather, it from the topic of conversa- tion with his heavenly visitants, They spoke of that which he had, just a few days previous, told his disciples— his suderings and death which he should accomplish at Jerusalem. "The vision was in some way God's answer to his prayer, giving him the solace and strengthening that he sought, as the Father's veice attest- ed His Sonship, and celestials came forth to salute the well beloved, and to hearten him on towards his dark goal" (H. Hurton). • Verses 3o-3x—The Witnesses 13elides his three rriost intimate dis- ciples there were two persons i)'resent from the spirit world. Jesus said he had Come not to destroy biit to ful- fill all the law and the -prophecy, so ,now with him were to, be seen the chief representatives of the law and the prophets, and the disciples did not need to have Jesus introduce them. They knew -them to be Moses arid Elias. This knowledge was a part of this most mysterious fiiaenomenon. It was night time when they ascend- ed the 'mountain and the disciples were heavy with sleep and were soon overcome with it; but it was no dream they experienced, for on wak- ing, possibly by the bright light, they found Jesus all changed and talking with two men that stood. with him.‘ The earthly life of Moses and Elias had ended centuries before, yet a's they appeared on the Mount-- they. were, still "men" withbodies resem- bling the old body of earth and with minds following 'their old bent. Again we quote, from H. Burton: "They have read the Divine thought and purpose of redemption; they are initiated into its mysteries; and now that the cross is close 'at hand, they come to bring to the world's Saviour their heavenly greetings, and to in- vest him, by anticipation, .with robes of glory, soon to be his for evermore. Verse 33—The, Interview Ended How long the vision lasted we can not tell. It might have been but a moment of time, It was long enough Ito reveal to the disciples that the great hope of earth's salvation is the central thought of heaven. The el - feet that this vision had on the dis- ciples was evidenced by the strange utterance of Peter. He wished to pio- long the stay so, in the ecstasy Of the moment, he proposed to build a temporary dwelling place. He did not realize what he was saying when he spoke of making dwelling places on .earth for glorified saints who have heavenly mansions to dwell in. Verses 34-36—A Voice A cloud,' symbolizing God's pre- sence, descended upon thern and en- veloped them, causing the dis,ciples to fear. We read in the Old Testament that When the cloud covered the tab- ernacle, "Moses was not able to en- ter," and when it filled the temple, "the priests could not stand to min- ister by reason of it," then no wonder the disciples were afraid to enter into it, Out of the cloud a voice" spoke proclaiming the divinity of Christ and commanding the disciples to hear him. This was done to strengthen the faith of the disciples when they should go forth to preach the gospel, After this vision and voice it was im- possible for them to doubt that he was trtily the Son of God. When the voice ceased the disciples saw that Moses and Elias had vanished and Jesus was age,in alone. What tlffiy had seen they kept to themselves un- til after his death and resurrection. It was given to thern to confirm their faith iti the truth that he was the Messiah. There were three witness ses to it; as many as .the law requir- ed, so • that the proof was clearly established.
