see if the bye wus awl ready fer the
Shining wurruk, fer as 1 tink, tould
ye befoor, he wus either learnin some
aisy goin ways in the arrmy an nades
a little shtirrin up at toimes. It wus
well I what, fer I bad to hilp him git
his sade grain clamed, an his plows an
harrows an eultivafors an sade .dhrills
awl oiled am an put in ordher ready
fer work, an wan day we put a fire in
the ould shtove in the cook house an
tuk the harness awl apart an washed
it clane an thin oiled it an let it dhry
an thin put it together agin, layvin it
awl ready fer the shpring, Ye rnusht
kape up wid yer wurruk, arr mebby a
little ahead av it, if ye are goin to

wiz -I -kin at the harness, me bye tould
me he had a chance to rint another

the idea. He sed he cud wurruk the
two farrums wid the same implemints,
an cud affoord to kape a hoired man
.awl the year round, an thin he wud-

I tould him / didn't tink much av the

ruk' it well ye will hev moore money
than if 'ye. shpread yersilf out too

Nivir attimpt to do moore than ye kin

Whin I wus in the counthry I

Old and Eeteemed Parliamentarian
Dies at $7 Years,
Dr. Peter IVIacDonald, formerly
postmaster at London, and a former
deputy speaker of the House of Com -
ons, died at his residence; 288 Central
‚avenue, at noon on Saturday, follow-
ing a week's acute illness. He had not

When nine years old he carne to Wes-

Maurice Beckwith Passes
Once more we are forcibly remind-
ed of the uncertainty of human life,
On Monday morning, people were
sheared to hear of the sudden passing
of Maurice R. Beckwith. Hes was an
active -old gentleman and on Friday
afternoon complained of not feeling
well and went home from his work in
Gibson'' bakery. Neuritis was the
trouble and on Sunday evening
he felt so much better that he hoped
to -be back at work on Mcinday morn-
ing. Through the night he got up
and dressed and werit to sit by the
fire. He later called Mrs. Beckwith,
wilco hurried for a doctor, but on her
return was horrified to find her bus -
heed dead. •
The late Mr. Beckwith was born in
Ipswich, • England, it 'x859, and
came to Canada when quite young,

Township to Miss Eliaabeth 'Hand/ -
ton, who with three daughters, sur-
vives him viz,, ktrs. Earl Cummins

chwood Corp of Toronto, and Miss

FIRE. AT WINGIIAM
---
Harry Wardsman's Dwelling Burned
Down
Fire completely destroyed the old
double frame house one.Water St., the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Wardsman a on Tuesday night. Harry
and his wife were crating chickens in
the barn and when leaving for the
house were horrified to see flames is-
suing from the dining -room window.
Mrs. Wardsman was very emphatic
that she had only left a small fire in
the stoves and both of them shut off.
The alarm was put in by Nightwatch-
rnan Lewis, who rang the bell after
notifying central.
We believe there will be an inves-
tigation as the force of firernen was
not nearly all out, but thoSe who were
worked well. The want of a motor
was very apparent. In the excite-
ment- the hydrant at the corner of the
Fertilizer building was reported to be
frozen and when Superintendent Herb
Campbell was asked about it, he said
that could not be and he turned on the
water without difficulty.
The order issued by the Bell Tele-
phone Co., that the girls must not tell
where a fire is, carne in for a good
deal of censor and rightly too. The
girl at central must answer a call and
surely it takes' no more time to repeat
the name of the person whose prop-
erty is on fire than it does to say "we
are not allowed to tell." Such a mean
and selfish order should be rescinded
at once. It may'be that in a city this
order would be of benefit to both the
central staff and tire firemen but in a
town or village, citizens often greatly
assist the firemen.
Has a person, who is not a fireman
to run to the town hall to find where
the fire is? Business men, who live
away from their place of business
should know if their property is in
danger. There is reason why a girl
at central should not be bothered ans-
wering what time it is, but to keep
a secret that might be the means of
saving damage by fire is ridiculous.
We are firmly of the belief that a
loud wild cat whistle should replace
the bell and that the town should not
have to pay for telephones in fire-
men's homes. The saving from the
cost of these phones would assist in
the purchase of ,a useful alarm and
alarm boxes placed at different parts
of the town would do away with the
necessity of going to the town hall
to put in an alarm,
LOCAL AND GENERAL
• BURNT OL.D NOTES
North Huron 'Telephone Company
• Winds Up Affairs.
An event of unusual interest was
held in Wingham on Friday afternoon
last, when the final meeting of the
Directors and Shareholders of the
North Huron Telephone Company,
was held. The plant and good will of
the Company was gold to the Bell
Telephone Co, last week the
amounts oi the company were distrib-
uted proportionately among the share-
holders. A short account of the his-
tory -of the Company would be inter-
esting at this time. The Company
was organized in April, 1909, when
Geo. Spotton, W. J, Greer, R. Van -
stone, Wm. Maxwell and H. B. Elliott
were elected as provisional directors.
A charter was applied for and receiv-
ed and the first regular meeting. of the
shareholders .was held on September
3rd., 1909, when permarient directors
vere elected thus: Wm. Maxwell, W.
J. Greer, H. T. Thompson, Geo. Spot -
ton and L. F. Binkley. Mr. Binkley
served for only a few weeks, when
John Gillespie was elected. In Nov-
ember, 19ro, John Webster and John

Joynt were elected as directors in fas
place of Messrs. Spotton and Gilles-
pie, and in x911 Mr, Geo. Thompson
came on the board in place of John
Joynt. IVIr. Greer was president and
Mr. H. T. Thompson was vice-presi-
dent, and Messrs. • Win. Maxwell,
John Webster and Geo. Thompson
were directors from 1911 up to the
time of the cancelling of the charter.
Mr, A. H. Musgrove was auditor and
Mr. H. B. Elliott was Secretary
throughout the history of the Com-
pany. The Company closed the year
1909, with 53 telephones in use and
ended its career with nearly 600 sub-
scribers . The Company had a very
successful history and served the
people well and in doing so had many
ups and downs and at times it was
difficult for the directors to finance
the enterprise, shareholders, tak-
ing the history of most rural tele-
phones' concerns into consideration,
were fortunate in receiving better
than one hundred cents on the dollar
for their holdings. At the conclusion
of the business on Friday, the' direct-
ors and officers with their wives par-
took of an excellent supper at Mc -
Kay's restaurant, after which the
party spent a happy evening at the
home of Mr, and Mrs, W. J. Greer,

favour of it, His idea is to have elec-
tric light and power accounts paid
in at the hydro shop with a view to
having people inspect their wares. Mr.
Elliott complained that the Commis-
sion had no statement since the shop
was opened as to how it was progress-
ing. Chairman Holmes said he would
