Speaking with a well-to-do farmerl
from Chiselhurst on Monday Jest,'
• after the purchase he had made
was rolled up, the conversation
drifted ihto the means and meth-
ods employed in some businesses.
He expressed himself as liking
the style in which we carried on
our Great Clothing Store. Con-
tinuing, he said: I read your
advmtisements always, whether I
want any goods in your line or
not. They are interesting to me,
frol:iithe fact that you make no
'world beating' claims, at un-
heard of bargains and all like
stuff. What I like is that you
always come out plain and
straight, and say you are after a
fair margin of profit, and at the
same time assuring to your cus-
tomers full satisfaction."
It is the meeting of such men as we
-
speak of in the preceding that,
makes life pleasant to live and
business worth hustling for. We
are pleased that our efforts to
-give good full value, at reasonable
figures, is being more and more
appreciated as the days go by.
We have to offer in our price list this
week some specials, which our
buyer bought when in the city
last week.
The first special is 75 pairs of Men's
Wool Pants, in a good durable
Tweed. We quote them at 90c
a pair, at which price we make a
small marain; The value of these
goods will ° be better appreciated
when we k tate that having bought
a dozen similar goods six months
ago, we were forced, at the7 price
paid, to sell at $1.50.
second special is a hew/33 wool
pant at $1.25. Special Nothree
is a $1.50 pant. We have made
up some very nice panting, in
Tweed, to sell at 12.50 and $3.00

At, any rate it was I during the Napoleonic

under General Whitehead was sent out to

Plate. The expedition was at first „success-

There is a bit of the history of
church which so well illustrates the
actor ot the Arge tines, or at least
prominent phase of i , that I will tell it
before I forget. Du ing the attack o
British troops who had taken refuge w
it, one or two cannonballs became imbe
in one of the. walla of the towers. ears
afterwards, not very long ago in fact, the
church was being Irepaired. These nusty

populace and the co tractor was ordered to
replace the eanno4. balls where they, had
been before. He explained that they Were

the veriest sham that could be imagined- for
they are inserted With the utmost regular-
ity, within a small space, as if they had
been put in with a pepper caster, and all
sunk exactly the Same distance into the
wall, in neat round holes. -
To be sure this eepedition was but a very
small and unimportant incident in a great
war, so unimportant that few Englishmen
have heard of it, for it is net even mention-
ed in most of the ordinary histories. But
it was very important for the Argentines
for it awoke theiti national spirit and was
the direct precursor of their war for indep-
endence. So thee% still celebrate it. But I
am wandering from the subject; I believe I
began to talk about decorations. On this
'holiday in commemorationof the defeat of the
British, the Calle Defense is 'crossed every
75 yards or so of its length by an arch of gas
lights with gas globes and at night (night is
always the best part of an Argentine celeb-
ration) looking down the street, onels look-
ing at a tunnel the toof of which is formed
by thousands of twinkling lights. Then the

House, with its wilki, its trees, its monu-
ments, its green lai, no and its flower beds,

fountain in the centre
are covered- with arches
. And the Government
House, the Bo ea, the Bank of the Nation,
the ArchBishop's palace and the Mueleipal
Buildings, forming three sides of the square,
are all illuminated by lines of gas lights,
with globes in the National' colours, alter- I
nate blue and white, following the lines of I
the showy architeeture; while the cathedral,
at the corner, next the Bishop's palace, has
its great pillars and the outlines of its great
portico turned teldines of living fire by un-
shaded gee jets, set close together, the lines
of flame undulating with every breath of
air. Looking out from the *head of Calle
Defense, or down; the "Avenida de Mayo'
(May Avenue) it hit like a scene from fairy-
land. . Often too, cordons of Chinetse
lanterns are strung about giving colour to
the scene, which hi already beautiful almost
beyond description: •
The effect of these illuminations is "won-
deful ; the ugly CASA Rosada (pink house) as
government house is called, looks imposing;
the tawdry stucco ornamentation of the
other buildings might easily be imagined to
be the carved stonework it represents; the

Cathedral portico give it an air of solemn
grandeur and solidity that remind one of
the old Greek or Egyptian temples. Even
that pitiful travesty, permittaible only in a
South American Republic, the tawdry brick
and plaster monument to Liberty, looks re-
spectable with its! lines of blue and white
gaslights.
You will probably think this letter ise

ectrakions on, second thought, -I think
you are right, but then Buenos Aires and,
the Argentine people, like stage scenery and
painted players, always rook best in the glare

But parttime I have bothered you With
such statements before ; I don't know. You
me when one begins to talk or write about
South America he invariably gets around to
the "belly bad government" as the Englith-
man calls it though to be sure, Ireland, if
not England herself, was in as bad a state

is but a hundred , years ago.

The New Town of " Dryden."
When Ontario's Minister of Agriculture,
Hon. John Dryden, first undertook to es-
tablish hie pioneer farm near Lake Wabi-
goon eighty miles east of Rat Portage on
the IC. P. Re few would have predicted that
within two years we should see three town-
ships taken up by settlers at that point.
Probably Mr. Dryden himself is as surprised
as anyone that the development should have
been so rapid. In this, as in everything
else he has undertaken, Mr. Drydenhas
evinced his usual good judgment, . but he
has been assisted by the tide of events. It
was very fortunate he undertook the open-
ing of the l Wabigoon country just at the
time when the wonderful mineral riehness
of Northwestern Ontario was beginning to
attract hundreds to the district. 1 Gold
mining is fast becoming a boom -big industry
and every foot of agricultural land has re-
.
ceived an enhanced value and is in great
'demand.
_The town site of Dryden, lying ' opposite
the Government Farm'was mid out last
• summer. The lots in the first survey are
all sold, an additional block of land is now
being added, and the town promises to be-
come a place of considerably more impor-
tance than vias expected.
Confusion exists in the minds of
regarding " Dryden " and " Wabi
about thirteen miles distant, at the e
end of Lake Wabigoon. It should be
stood that there is no connection be
the two places, as the name might lea
to suppose, and in connection wit
latter the Government assume no re
bility whatever. We . are informed
town lobs in Dryden are sold at reas
prices to actual settlers only, and
speculator% at " boom" prices. '
Such is the desire for information r
ing the locality, that the following letter
irom the farm superintendent, a copy of
Which has been sent to us by Mr. Dryden,
will be read with interest :

DEAR Sm :—The fall wheat came through
the winter in good style; apparently none
of it was winter killed. On 18th and 19th
we had some cold weather which checked
its growth badly. The clover is commenc-
ing to grow -again and I cannot find any of
it killed or heaved out. There are now
only two lots for sale in Dryden. Three
representatives of English capital, from
Australia and South Africa have purchased

will build and make their headquarters

The Goderioh Post Office.
Commissioner Seeger, who recently in-
vestigated the charges preferred against
Postmaster Campbell, of .Goderioh, deliver-
ed hia finding in the mum in the court room
on Friday afternoon in the presence of a
large number of spectators. Follovring is a
brief summary of the finding: Charge, 1—
It was charged that Postraaster Campbell
had acted improperly toward Miss Hays, of
Seafoith, a Collegiate Institute student, one
evening and thereby insulted her and Miss
Jeckyl, who was with her on the occasion.
The charge was held to be sustained.
Charge 2—The postmaster was charged
with placing his hand upon the hand of
Mrs. Sarah MeBrien, while she was passing
in manner whieh she considered to be in -
in a letter at the Ticket, and that he did m
!suiting. The charge was held not to be
sustained, on the ground that the action
• might poseibly have been accidental. Chtuge
3—The postmaster had unwarrantedly taken
hold of Mrs. Light while she was coming
through an inner door of the post office after
he had asked her and a lady friend to visit
the inside department. Held to be sus-
tained. Charge ,it—The postmaster was
charged with awes king Miss Dancey.while
she was engaged in writing a card in the
,private office by clasping • her from behind,
and putting hie hands on her breast.
Charge held to I be • sustained, Charge
5—This was a charge of opening a letter ad-
dressetl to one J. R. Aleintosh,but although
it WAS clearly proven that the letter had
been opened, it was not shown by whom.
Charge not sustained. Charge 6—It was
charged that the North American Chemical
Company were compelled to post their let-
ters and rate cards. at the railway station
for a length of time, owing to the fact that
the postmaster was a sales agent for a
rival firm. It was proved that Mr. Camp-
bell had Robed in such a capacity for several
year& but had now discontinued his con-
nection with the salt firm. Charge 7—A
complaint was made by Robert Bell, a
marble works man, that he also had to post
his letters at the railway station, beeause
Mr. Campbell was the financial manager of
'rival marble works business. The evi-
donee proved that this state of affairs had.
existed. Charge.8—Mr.VansWne, of Wing -
ham, another marble works man, had sent a
-letter to a customer named Johnston, God-
erich post office, and finding it had not
reached its destination, called at the office
to make enquiry, when he was handed the
letter and told it had been opened by mis-
take, the plea given by the attendant being
that there were so many Johnston's. The
letter had been opened and closed up again
with it margin of postage stamps, but no
memorandum had been made that it had
been opened by mistake, nor by whom it
had been opened, contrary to the rules of
the department. This charge was sustained.
Charge 9—The postmaster was charged
with.being offensive to persons going to the
offioe in that he entered into. an altercation
with 'W.L. Horton and had celled the latter
a liar, after which he had come around from
the inside office and clinched with Horton, -
until teparated by others who were present.
Charge sustained.
