W. C. T. V. I CAN'T STOP. The Chicago Journal of recent date oonta.ins a pathetic account of the tragic end of a prominent citiz- en of that city. The case is but one of thousands. The history of many of the most heartrending has never been written. So long as wo hsve open bar- rooms with all their incitements to dissipation, so long will we have happening's like this in our midst. The Journal says : Having fought the curse of drink for three years, Noah M. Letts, 4316 Calumet Avenue, treasurer and Manager of the Letts Promot- ing Company with offices in the First National lank Building, ad- mitted his defeat in the struggle by taking his life in the Union hotel to -day. The man wrote a note warning his two young sone to shun liquor, penned another note to his brother, Frank G. Letts, president of the Western Grocery Company, and vice-president of the National Grocery Company, and then drank morphine. The suicide followed a champagne spree of throe days. Letts was found barely alive in his room by a bellboy, who quickly notified the management. Tlie two notes left by the suicide were taken by Frank Letts, who arrived at the hotel five minutes before his brother's death, They are as follows : "To My Boys—Please for your sake and God's sake never drink a drop. I love yott better than my life. But 1 can't stop and my action is for the best. Your Papa." -Frank—Thank you for your kindness. It's best so. Take care of my boys. To -day, could you not tell I was bluffing? it's best. I've suffered. Good-bye. Your Brother. love yon tend do to -clay as one brother never loved another." Frank Letts arrived only a few minutes before his brother's death, and after the physicians had made utile efforts to save the man's ife. "There is no doubt my brother 'omrnitted suicide," said Mr. Letts. 'The nates clearly explain his etion, but when.I saw him last I ad Tao suspioion he was going to rid his life. He called yesterday ,fternoon and asked me for money. Lit first I refused, and •when he tormed about any office I weaken - d and gave him. some money. He must have gone direct to the hotel, or many years he had been drink - ng, but only in the last three ears had he carried it to such an xtreni e. " The decedent was married four• eon years ago, but three years ago ra.s divorced from his wife. He ad two sons, Ned M., 12 years old, rid Delano, 10 years olcl. The boys ave been spending the summer on farm and are now living near ates Centre, Inas. :FORECASTS FOR SEPTEMBER. By Rev. Irl. R. Hicks. regular storm period runs from the 10th to the 15th, having s ;enter on the 121h. All old relents of our forecasts, and the astronomic faots on which they are based, know that this storm period tills coincidently with the annual cris'i . arising from the peculiar relation of the Earth and Sun . The xnagnetie, and electrical forces of our planet aro perturbed and rest. less eeeh year from about the 10th to the 15Th of September. Electrioa;l manifestations in the •way of lightning and thunder, Earth cur- rents., strong enough to disturb telegrephic instruments, auroral fights. seismic and volcanic unrest, all reach, as a rule, a maximum state of perturbation about this period. Hence we conclude that the storm period from the 10th to the 15th of this month will bring markedresults in the way of storms and other phenomena. If the baro- meter falls to low readings, with high temperature and humid, mug- gy atmosphere, the appearance of angry storm clouds should be watched with calmness, but with a degree of apprehension and caution. Look for the culmination of tais period about Wednesday the 12th to Friday the 14th. Be- luxul, these disturbances, expect a decided change to cooler, with possible frosts along the northern sections.

Pat Boyle, of Centralia, made a good: threshing record the other day, 34 loads of wheat, 32 of barley and 27 of oats in ten hours. The output was 700 bushels of wheat, 400 of barley and 200 oats. A large barn on the farm of Mr. Ferguson, on what is known as the Kippen road, Tuckersmuith was struck by lightning, on Sunday a week, and totally destroyed, with all its contents, which embraced his Drops of this year, together with his implements.

The other evening the house of the Caretaker of the Exeter Ceme- tery was discovered to be on fire, and before anything could be done to nave it, the house and contents were entirely destroyed. The house belonged to the town. The care- taker and fancily were away at the tine, and the origin of the fire is a mystery, Thomas Warwick, who has been an inmate of the House of Refuge for seven years, died on Monday at the good old age of ninety-seven. He was next to the oldest inmate, one of the women having passed still another mile stone. Living in French Castle has certainly not shortened any one's years. -Clinton News -Record. Isanr.. Yonne, the Indian who pleaded. guilty to the charges of theft and burglary at a house near Crediton, was before Judge Doyle on Wednesday of last week and His Honor sentenced him to four months' imprisonment in the county jail at hard labor, saying the only reason he did not send him to the Central prison for a much Ionger term was that at the present time that institution was crowded. • A ,Bron stee Load—On Tuesday lait, 172r. E. Barnett drove a load of flax to the Seaforth mill, which weighed 10,448 pounds. When we consider that this amount of flax was gathered up and pitched on the wagon by Mr. S. Neely, while "Teddy" built it, all in the space of 3 1-4 hangs from the time they left the mill till they returned a- gain. the performance seems mar- vellous, while it at the same time shows Mr. Barnett to be a good load builder. What do the Hensall and St Marys men, who have been boasting of big loads, say to this? "John," said the wife, gently, "you are interested in temper- ance movements, are you not?" "Of course I am," he answered. "Well, suppose von go and make a few of then; at the pttmp handle, I want n pail of water at once."— S'niitll'd Weekly.
