Pretty Wedding. -A. very pretty
wedding took place on -January 24th,
at "Evergreen Villa" the home of Mr.
and Mrs. R. R. Copeland, kith con-
cessioi, of Usborne, when their young-
est daughter, Carrie was united in
carriage to - Mr William R. Sillery,
of Mr. and Mrs, R. E Sillery, of
e At high noou to the strain %
the bridal chorus played by Miss
Zoe Sillery, sister of the groom, the
bride entered the parlor Leaning on
-the arra of her . father. The bride
looked pretty gowned in cream silk
.end wool and wore a bridal veil caught
alp with orange blossoms. The cere-
mony was perfo rood under an ascii of
-white by Rev.Mr.O'Kell, of Kirktnn,
After congratulations the wedding
' party sat down - to a sumptuous wed-
ding dinner. The bride was the re-
cipient of many useful uand beautiful
.articles testifying to - the esteem in
whish the young couple are held. The
briee's travelling suit• was of navy
blue serge with black velvet het. 'The
young couple left on the evening
train for a short honeymoon to Ham-
ilton and other points east. On their
return they will reside on the groove's
farm near Exeter. They have the
best wishea of many friends. s
peace. If any, men ever knew the hor-
rors of war to the full, these do. But
how, after all they have endured and
achieved,. is it thinkable that pea =e -
can be jade on the supposition that
Germany - is victorious ---the Germany
whom for five months here on the
Somme we have been beating back day
by clay, piling defeat on defeat, un-
til she has yielded to us and the
French some `half a hundred villages
and over 80,000 prisoners? This is
where the real strength of - the Ce?-
tral Powers and of the -Entente- is
being tested, not in Roumania. or else-
where; and by every evidence of war
and common.sense Germany is the de-
feated power and not the victor. Ar-
mies - whipped as the German Armies
have been here do not dictate peace
but they . sue for it.
In the letters which the piesoners
receive - from home there has been a -
steadily growing note of despondency.
In the letters unsent the pictures of .
life at the fr nt . are painted in tints
of deeper and deeper.despaair.PWe read
and hear continually of men and ef-
fivers malingering; and in the captur-
ed orders we find exhortations to the
men in almost frenzied terms to hold
their ground; piteous assurances that.
"what the English can do the Germans
can do"; threats to individual regi-
ments that they must keep active on
their front or larger operations will
be ordered in which -they will suffer
more heavily; shameful confessions of
failure to go into the front line not
°wine needed no public announce-
-went; that it was its own recom-
mendation.' And another thought to
be entertained because of that fam-
liar phrase ' is that even in those
"good old days" some bad liquors
were dispensed im -places where a
bush stood at the door, or sometimes
above the door, Sometimes the bush
was greenand sometimes its green
age had passed, and the tavern or
taproom symbol was but a piece of
dry bush. It is said that a dry bush
of pine or other evergreens hangs
even to- this day over the dooaas of
Italian winesnops. - -
In the years before reading and
writing came to' be almost universal
accomplishments nearly every branch
of business had its peculiar symbol
.as a sign of what line of trade was
carried on within. Most of these
devices have passed away, but nearly
everybody remembers when the drug
store, or the "apothecary shop" was
announced- by a gilded peatle and
mortar and by globes of red and
green fluid in the -windows; when
the 'shop of the pawnbroker or money
lender was announced by three gild-
ed balls, and when no barber shop
would attempt to do business' :with=
out a red and white striped pole, be-
cause when the barbers by common
consent, adopted that symbol they
were also surgeons or blood letters,
and the red, stripes symbolized blood
and the white stripe the bandage. 1111 -
olden times the barber poles stood n
or in a bowl -shaped ' piece of woo
which represented the basin.
It is only recently that the wooden
Indian, the sign of the tobacconist's
shop, has passed into, the discard,
and even to -day a few of these time4

The following poem was composed
by Miss Kate Haynes, a blind lady of
our village, who is diligently doing
Tier bit for the soldiers by knitting
socks:
Wow girls, you. stop your fooling,
- And get -right down to work,
'There's plenty needed' doing,
No honest girl should shirk.
'There are mufflers, socks and mittens
For the boys far off in France,
'And some in sherry England,
And Belgium too perchance.
No matter where they are stationed,
They are fighting Britain's cause,
For freedom, home and loved ones;
And virtues glorious laws.
they count no task -too heavy, -
No pain too hard to bear,
Where right and justice calls them,
They find their duty there.
4,'hat right have you to flitter,
The precious hours away,
When your fingers should be flying
O'er the Woolley ball of gray.
With. your euchre, bridge and skating
And your whirling giddy dance;
?While your brothers feet are aching,
On the blood stained fields of France
'Come, get your needles ready,
And sit right down and knit,
Although it may be rather slow,
'You can do your little bit.
There's plenty glad to help you,
If you really wish to know, -
We'll show you how to turn a heel,
Or make a Kitchener toe.
There's loth of fun in knitting,
If you will only learn the trick,
And when you practise up a bit,
You will never want to quit.

ferent places, has set in: A recent

lar attitude toward street signs,isaid
that . "signs that encroach Ripon the -

than a British Yeomanry regiment.
One of these was, for =military reas-
ons, dismounted and supplied •with
bicycles. The disappointment of the
men can be iniagined. They voiced•
their regret by erecting a tomb with
a enventional stone bearing' the .fol-
lowing inscription:
"Stranger, pause and shed a` tear,
A regiment's heart lies buried here,
Sickened and died,though of no dis-
order;
But broken broken by a staggering order.
Our hearts were warm, theirs; cold as
icicles, -
To take our horses and give us -
bic&ycles.
"For cavalry," they said, "There was
no room:
So we buried our spurs in this dis-
mal tomb." -
LESSON OF THE SOMME.
You might, I believe, search the
-British armies on the Sou -arae through
and find only one opinion of the Ger-
man peace proposals -namely, that
they are inspired by Germany's con
seiousness of her own. growing weak-
aiess, and that there can be no hone
of peace until she approaches the
subject in. a mach here chastened
spirit. And the -nen. of the Armies in
France are juustifieel in thinking that
this is: a matter o; which they know
something, and on which their opine-
dons are entitled to sone weight. -

ECONOMY IN FRENCH .FORESTS.
We have not yet learned in Canada
how to save wood. A Canadian officer
who has been with his men assisting
in cutting in the French national for-
ests, wood for trenches .and wire en-
tanglement poles, describes ' in, the
Canadian Forestry Journal the sen-
sible regulations which. Canada might
well follow.
"The stumps had to be cut level
with the ground, not the easiest meth-
od of felling a tree, but saving in the
course of a few years many thousand
feet of timber.
"There is another reason for cutting
the stump so close, and that is for the
purpose of replanting; the French
trustingto the sprouts the -stump is
bound to send up the following spring
to fulfill the important work. Fed by
the huge stump roots, trees we had
felled only in . March, had shoots three
and four feet high by the end,of April.
The healthiest of these shoots would.
be banked around with a little earth I
later by the forester, and the remain-
ing shoots trini.rned away and .gradu-
ally the new tree would replace the
old. It seemed an ideal system.
"When the trees r reach a diameter
of six or seven inches they are brand-
ed with the year the former tree was
felled, and with a number which is
entered in- the forestry registry, and
the history of the new tree begins.
"It ends when the standing timber
is sold and' the tree marked with a
large `X' scored in the trunk by the
forester and the purchaser, whether,
as in our case, the British government
or a private individual, fells the tree,
cuts the stump level with the ground
again, and leaves nature to do the
rest.
"Quite different is our system of
. swinging - the axe waist - high and
leaving behind us a mass -of stumps
surrounded by piles of brush -wood
waiting only for the match of a- care-
less smoker to complete the devasta-
tion that we have begun. .

SAVAGES.
Murdered and Robbed Citizens of
Serbia --Requisitioned Cattle.
The Westminster Gazette publish-
es the following statement, issued by
the Serbian Press Bureau:
Reports received from the Serbian
authorities in the liberated portions
of. Serbia one and all denounce the
unheard-of crimes :committed by the
Bulgarians against the inhabitants of
the invaded territory, No words cart
describe the savagery to which ,the
people were subjected. They were
imprisoned, threatened with utter
extermination, interned, and put to
death.
The worst treatment was meted
out to the Serbian municipal authori-
ties. Thus in the village of Batch,
Pierre Talevitch, Pierre Cletevitch,
the parish priest of Negotine, Stolan,
Cotovitch, and many others were put
to death, while all cattle, food, and
household goods were requisitioned.
In the village of trod out of six
thousand sheep only thirty were left.
In the rare cases in which compen-
sation was made the sums paid were
ridiculously small. For example, in
the village of Givogni twenty francs
was paid for an ox -the exact
amount of the annual tax for an .ox
in that municipality.
The individual cases of • plunder
were without number. Articles were
seized and. despatched to the soldiers'
families in Bulgaria. Such was the
treatment to which Bulgaria -subject-
ed the Serbian .provinces.
Kitchener's Choice.
A correspondent of The London
Times contributes an anecdote of
Kitchener. At an early stage in the
negotiations leading up to the peace
of 'Vereeniging, tin May, 1902, a dis-
tinguished officer who was a friend
of the commander-in-chief sent the
latter at Pretoria a private telegram
reading as follows: "May we sing
at church parade next Sunday hymn
No.. 537, `Peace, Perfect Peace'?"
The reply came, and promptly: "No;
Bing hymn No. 269, `Christian, Seek
Not Yet Repose.' °'
There is More catarrh in this section
of the coutnry than all other diseases
put together,and for years it was sup-
posed to be incurable. Doctors pre-
scribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly failing to cure with local treat-
inent, pronounced it incurable. Catarrh
is a local disease greatly influenced
by cotitutional conditions and there-
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F.J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, ` is a
constitutional remely, is taken intern-
ally and acts through the blood on the
Mucous Surfaces of the System. One
Hundred Dollars reward is offered for

to cure. Send for circular's and testi-
