----Recently a young man, well attired and
of good address drove up with a horse and
buggy to the Grand Central hotel, Milver-
ton, and ordered the horse to be put in for
the night., On retiring he ordered the land-
lord, C. Hasenpfing, to have him called at

uioreakfst and went out and bas not been
since. The horse was taken care of by the

vertisement appeared in a Toronto paper of

tenet in its success throughout the country
increases and it is safe to say that the at-
tendance will be greater than. fever. The

With, will prove a great attraction. All the

fore been placed before the people of Can-

plete, both weeks of -the Fair.
Wheat Crop Prospects.

whole harvest is about half over, and the
reports continue to be fairly favorable, in
spite of- interruptions of many heavy showers
and the general delay in carrying the wheat
already out. The foreign harvests are un-
favorably reported. The latest advices
from France, Austria-Hungary, Russia and
Roumania are all more or less unfavorable,"

The World -Wide Use of English.,_
At the beginning of the century there were
not more than 20 millions of people in the
whole world who spoke English. In 1801, .
160 million people spoke seven European
languages—English, F: ench, German, I us -
elan, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. The
population using these seven languages has
now grown to 400 millions, and of these
135 millions speak English. At the begin-
ning of the century English speakers were
less than 13 per cent. of the total. They
are now over 30 per 'cent., and outnumber
those apeaking any other . European lan-
guage. By the end of the century it is
probable the English speakers of the world
—that is to say, the persons who habitually
use English as the vehicle for expressing
their thoughts and ideas—will be • 150 mil-
lions, or more than seven times as many
as used that instrument of conversation 100
years before. This immense preponderance
of English epeakers tends naturally to in-
crease enormously the diffusion of a lan-
guage.

Jack Bowie was a notorious poacher who
flourished up till recently in a -certain dis-
trict of Scotland. A bit of a wag, as well
as a bit of ne'er do weel, Jock kept Sunday
and Saturday alike, despite the remon-
strance's of his neighbors. An old farmer,
an elder of the kirk and a strict Sabbatarian,
was especially severe upon Jack' for his
shortcomings, and that worthy, who had
his doubts as to the elder's godliness,- de-
termined to get even with him upon the first
opportunity. Jock was as skilful an angler
as he was a poacher, and upon one occasion,
having captured an extra large basket of
trout, he resolved to present a portion of
the catch to the elder. The gift having
been duly accepted, the wily Jock remarked
casually—" But, elder, I clean forgotto tell
ye—the fish were catched ye-aterday (Sun-
dae .) `` Weel, John," returned the elder,
gazing steadily at the contents of the basket,
I dinna see -that that was the fau't o' the
trent." Jock took his departure sadder and
wiser.

and deceptive. The •true measure of low prices is quality. Upon this earner
stand we have built a business reputation which has won the confidence and
patrgnage of the people. It is hard to make an advertisement as interesting
as the news matter which surrounds it. We, therefore, .appeal to the shoppers'
interests by naming prices that are unusual ; we make it a rule never to awry
overfany goods from one season to another; there are a great many things
marked to go with a rush here this month, reductions that shoe our determina-
