That the grain trade at Goclerich is growing rapidly is indicated by the fact that the 1,000;000 bushel elevator of the Goderich Elevator and Transit Company is full of grain at the present time. Last year a half -million bushel annex was built by the company. the offi- cials of which are more than pleas- ed with the expansion of their busi- ness. During the month of August of this year more grain was receive ed by this firm than in any month of August since the company began business. The fine new concrete elevator, erected by the Canadian Stewart Company for the Western Canada Four Mills Companv was taken out of the hands of the con- tractors a few days ago.

Marlborough's four' triumphs, Blenheim and Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet, are also on the colors of the Royal Irish and the four names represent in addition a "long series of desperate but now forgotten seiges by which fortress after fortress was wrested from the French." They helped to hold Gib- raltar when the Spaniards tried to reoapture the fortress in 1727; fought in the American War of In- dependence; took part in the de- fence of Toulon in the war with the French Revoiutioii; assisted Nelson and Sir John Moore to take Corsica; and fought at Alexandria in the fierce battle in which Sir Ralph Abercrombie met his death. The past 60 years have seen the Royal Irish at the front in almost every war in which the British army has taken part, The Crimean War and Indian Mutiny ; wars in China and Burmah ; the New Zea- land War ; service in Afghanistan; the battle of Tel-el-Kebir ; magnifi- cent work in the Nile expedition which Lord Wolesley led in hie gal- . lant effort to rescue Gordon; the Black Mountain and Tirah camp- aigns on the Indian frontier; ;the South African War—such are more i' recent events in the record of the . Royal Irish. An exceedingly interesting history o the bravery of the Irish soliders in fighting for the crown of Great Britain has been written by Lieu- tenant-Colonel G. Le M. Gretton, of which the following is a brief con- densation : The history of the. Irish regiments in our army is a very picturesque one. For example, the Fourth Royals Dragoons Guards, formerly the First Irish Horse, fought in the Peninsula with Wellington, in the heavy cavalry charge at Balaclava, and at Tel-el-Kebir. The Fifth Royal Irish Lancers fought as "The Irish Dragoons" with Marlborough at Blenhelm, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet, winning on the battlefield, together with the Soots Greys, the right to wear the Oren-. adier bearskin. Only the Greys now retain it. The Sixth Innis - killing Dragoons (raised at the same time as the Fifth Lancers) fought at Dettingen, took part in the charge of the Union Brigade at Waterloo, and added to its fame in the Heavy Cavalry Brigade charge at Bala- clava. The Eighth Royal Irish Hussars, raised by William III, fought in Spain. under, Peter- borough in Queen Anne's War, did splendid work in India against the Hahrattas, and won wider fame still in the Light Brigade charge at Balaclava. Six other Irish cavalry regiments, now disbanded, did good service to the British flag in various Wars. And of our Irish infantry, the fame of the Inniskilling Fusili- Are and the buildings replacing the ers (the old Twenty-seventh, dating old ones are models of their kind. from 1690) is world-wide.

The big hardware ment moving an inch or firing to store being erected, when finished shot." The Royal Irish Rifles had io their part in winning no fewer than 10 of Wellington's Peninsular victories; the Royal Irish Fusiliers are the same old Eighty-seventh, "the Faugh-a-Ballagh Boys,"who in hand-to-hand fight won the first Napoleonic Eagle taken by , the British Army. And the glory can never fade of the Connaught Rang- ers, who shed their blood like water for the honor of the British flag at Badajoz, Fuentes D'Onoro and Wat- erloo, Piston's favorite crops when there was in band "business with the cold iron." afterwards moving with his family to Hay township, living there a number of years, and finally mov- ing to Exeter, where he, lived until his death, September 12th, 1911, at 4.55 p.m., aged 72 years 10 months and 27 clays. On Wednesday of last week Sarah Ann Spicer, widow of the late John Andrew, of Usborne, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. D. Hodgson of Granton. The deceased had not been well for some time, although able to be around. About three weeks previous bo her. death she was compelled to take her bed and gradually failed in health until the end came. She was in her 67th year. The deceased was born in Darlington Township, and when a young girl moved with her parents to Usborne. In 1863 she was united in marriage -to Mr. John Andrews, who predeceased her on January 9th, 1908.

A PICTURESQUE STORY. The story of the Royal Irish Regi- ment is quite as picturesque as any that the Irish part of the army can supply. No fewer than fifteen "Battle Honors" grace their colors, recording duty done all the world ever ; literally so. for the Royal Regiment of Ireland has fought in Europe, in Asia, in America, in Africa, in Australasia. They won their famous motto, "Virtutis Nam- urcencis Premium," at the outset of their career, two hundred and six- teen years ago, and the man who gave it to them was one of the great leaders in war of European. History, King William III. who with his own eyes witnessed their splendid feat. It was on August 20, 1695, at the storming of Namur, • the most formidable fortess in Europe at that day, garrisoned by veterans of the Army of the Grand Monarque. A breach had been battered in the. walls, but the first assault failed. Undismayed by t'te confusion and depression around them, the Irish- men ` with a yell rushed at the breach. At first they had to scram- ble over the bodies of those who fell in the first attempt, but halfway up they reached the Grenadier's high- water mark, and thence struggled upwards over ground covered by no corpses but those of the Eighteenth. From the neighboring works they were tormented by cross fire, but yet pushed on, to the admiration of their foes, who through the clouds of smoke watched them gradually winning their way up the breach, the colors high in air, despite the carnage among the officers who carried thein. Mad with excitement and determined to win at all cost, the regiment by a splendid effort reached the top of the breach, where the colors were planted to show the King, who from a hill behind the Abbey eagerly watched the progress of his 13ritish troops, that the Terra Nova was his. But as the men surged forward they found thetnsrlves faced by an en trenehm'*it u1T+1lniared by the bom- bardment. The officers holding THE SIZE OF BRICKS. If bricks were made larger it would save a great deal of time and labor in building, said a contractor, but the standard has been set and any change would be attended by considerable inconvenience. In England when bricks were first made and tip to sixty or seventy years ago there was a tax on bricks and in order to evade it the bricks were made of larger and larger sizes. These , were used for cellars and other concealed places. To stop this fraud an act was 'passed in reign of George III. fixing the legal size of bricks. Early in Queen Victoria's reign the tax was taken off and bricks may now he legally made on any size whatever. But any change from the standard size would bring, about great. inconven- ience All calculations are made for building on this standard size, and the London and other building acts have practically fixed it. It's a pretty good fault for a wO ' — CHOIR SINGER'S. SMART. Receives :5,000 a War for Slinging Once a Sunday.

In addition, her outside earnings 'from concerts, it is claimed, bring her total income close to $20,000 a year, For the singer with ambitions the choir has usually been a. stepping- `° stone. Girl's with more voicilthan means have been glad to accept : a church position for the chanee of being heard, with little more: by way of salary than oomplinients and cabfare. But'Mrs. Kelsey chose her field deliberately because of its free- dom from the advantages of being. inseparable from the theatre. , She has sung in opera and know. She was born in Rochester, New York, hut early went west and .received ; the grounding of her musical eduea-' tion in Chicago. Then she went to New York for further instruction. To help to pay for her lessone she. sought a position in a church choir and finally found one with the First r; Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn. Within a year she wan a concert star. She resigned her position and, putting her earnings to still further study, • went abroad. Merit and hard work won her a debut in Lon- don at Covent Garden in 1898. TO most young women it, would , lave seemed that she was on the thres- hold of her career. But .Corinne Kelsey sat down to think over the situation.
