To let Elliott and Tipling get back,
But to fill 'a tough place,
Or to run a hard epee,
Take an old horse 'that's need to the
track.
e• ;THE COMMISSION ,
Two Bills in the- field for commission,
Each thinks. he can fill the position, .
One Bill knows the ropes,
-
And the other has hopes -
Thut now hell achieve his anibieeon.

' THE COUNCIL
Now what' do' you think of Ab. Bell?
'Tie a story the ballots will tell;
a pretty good scout,
But if he wins out,.
Let us hope that his head will not
swell.
The next on the list is Sam Bennett,
Who might even look well in the Sen-
ate,
He may make a joke,
But he never will smoke, ' •
And the booze,—he is always 'tagen it,
• , . ,
The next choice is Fothergill Arta
Who, in the far 'West played his part.
He's quiet and tame,
But plays a fair game, .
And no one of him gets the start,
Next comes the old war horse, Bill
Greer,
From •hine we have nothing to -fear;
If the game had been square,
He should have been mayor,
I3ut perhaps he will get there next
• year, .
Then next we have .carpenter Bill,
Who is foreman in John MacLean's
-• mill,
If you want a good man,
On the hard. working plan,
Bill Haney the order will fill.
Give Mitchell, the drug man a place,
And help him to win: iii the race,
;He has powder and pill '
For to cure every ill, •
And the town is a pretty bad case. •
And Smithy wants in for a ride,
He's tired of being outside; -
Perhaps he may do • '
To complete a .scratch crew,
• So well let the horns go with the hide.
•
Another good man you may choose
Is Willis, who sells boots and shoes,
• He can make a good speech,
He can sing, he can preach .
And holds very strong temperance

How Shocking,
The fashion makers have found a
new way to shock the world. It isn't
leg and it isn't ,shoulders which are
to be exposed to the gaze of the
breathless world, but—horror, of hor-
rors --ears! This is the ultimate box -
score limit. Or at least we thought
it was until we read the next line
which says that the lobe of the naked
ear will be colored a delicate pink.
If the forces .of righteousness in this
country have the vigor they ought'to
have, they will nip this outrageous
suggestion in the bud. We stood for
shouldets, then legs, but vee shall not
stand for ears!—Kingston Whig.

line of the Grand Trunk Railway, are
pleased with the announcement made
by Sir Henry Thornton that the new

with the ,-view of determiting if it
would be edvisable to electrify the

Prominent citizens of London have
strongly supported the idea. of electri-
fying the branthes for the past few
years and conferences have been held
with the officiale, but nothing definite
has been done.
• It is believed that Sir Henry Thorn-
ton will be interested in the scheme
and will likely be approached by sev-
eral Londoners within the next moil-

A Fool At 'Large
The practical joker has scored
again.• Near Fieherville, in Haidinland

lost life. The son, fortunately manag-
ed to save himself. One useful life is
destroyed in consequence of the pre-
verted sense of humor of some un-
known fool. The latter, through his
act, has burdened his conscience witk
the guilt of manslaughter. If lie pos-
sesses any sense at all he will have
the knowledgeof this guilt before his
eyes throughout life. It is not to be
expected, however, that he has enough
manliness to step out into the light
and accuse himself publicly. Smart
alecks are not built that way.

To the Advance:.
Asa father ofone of the boys who -
went overseas and fought and fell and
as a ratepayer in the town of Wing-
harn, might 1 be permitted to say a
word in your paper about the propos-
ed soldiers' memorial? Wingham is irr
debt up to the. eyes and why sink it
another five or six thousand by the
erection of a cold, grey tombstone,»
which will bring back sad and impleas-
ant memories to at least a few of us. .
If Wingliam council hacl gone ahead
in the proper time instead of giving
few of those, who returned watches,
it would have met with my approval,. "
but riot so now. A few weeksago you
suggested a park. Might 5 suggest a
park also, but why sink the ratepayers
into such heavy debt? Why not enake
the little park near the; G. T. :R, stat-
ion a beauty spot by the planting of s'
flower beds and shrubs and the keep-
ing of a lawn, with possibly alnernor-
ial fountain in the centre with the
names of all the boys, not jest a
but all of their names on tablets of
bronze around the base of the foun-
tain. This kind of a park would cost
a great deal less money and with
proper care would be a trioralnient of
Which every citizet of town would feel
provid 5 ,will gladly donate seats and
benebes to such a place. Let us wake
up and hot throw away ithoneancis of
dollars for a tombstone that will only
give Some of ria a heartathe when we
pass it by. ,•
