T!:: E FALL OF TROY
e The following poem by a Collegiate
pupil, James Ritchie, is a brief sketch
of the fall of Troy, as told in Vergil's
Aeneid. The story is here couched
in a language which we all under-
stand:
For nine long years the Trojans brave
Had kept the Greeks at bay,
And now they hoped that in the end
The foe would sail away.
But, sad to say, the Greeks all said,
"We'll have another try,
For we must lick those Trojan dogs,
So let us do or die."
The leading men in council met,
The task was not a joke;
A silence fell upon them all
When brave Ulysses spoke.
"Look here, my boys, I've got a plan,
I thought it out last night,
And if my vision fails me not
It ought to work all right.
"We'll build a monstrous wooden horse,
And fill it full of men,
And when we leave those Trojan
knaves
Will draw it to their den.
"One of our men must stay behind
And hide here in disguise;
He'll say we beat him black and blue,
We've got to tell some lies."
His hearers cheered and promised him
They'd do what they were told,
And wait for the appointed time
To smoke them from their hold.
They had to choose a cunning man,
The lot fell on young Si;
They mussed him up and bled his nose
And almost made him cry.
Ulysses with his trusty men
Hid in the wooden horse;
The rest embarked without young Si,
And sailed to Tenedos.

Death of Mrs. William Hiles.—The
death occurred on May 22nd at the
home of her son-in-law, Mr. Norman
L. Carter, of one of the pioneer resi-
dents of this county, in the person of
Mrs. William Hiles. The deceased
was born at Elizabethville, Durham
County, being the eldest daughter of
the late Richard and Hanna Baskwell.
In 1880 she was united in marriage
to Mr. William Hiles and the young
couple commenced housekeeping on
the homestead farm, 11/4 miles north
of the village of Londesboro, where
they continued to reside until three
years ago, when they moved to Clin-
ton. Mrs. Hiles had been in failing
health for several years, and at
Christmas time she was stricken with
paralysis, necessitating her removal
to the home of her daughter, where
in spite of the best medical skill and
all that loving hands could do, she
gradually sank until Thursday of last
week, when she passed peacefully a-
way. She was a true Christian wo-
man and many warm friends will
miss but always remember her smile
and kindly words of cheer. She was
a life long member of the Methodist
church and a life member of the Wo-
men's Missionary Society. Mrs. Hiles
leaves to mourn her loss her husband,
her only daughter, Mrs. Carter, and
one grandson, Audrey, of Seaforth.
She is also survived by one sister,
Mrs. George Neal, of Battle Creek,
Michigan; and four brothers, John
Barkwell, of Winnipeg; James, of
Lucknow; Dr. R. H. Barkwell, of Lon-
don, England, and W. S. B. Barkwell,
of Toronto. One sister, Mrs. (Dr.)
Austin and one brother, Dr. Wesley
Barkwell, predeceased her several
years ago. Following a short service
at the home of her son-in-law, the re-
mains . were taken to the Ontario
Street . Methodist church, Clinton,
where a very impressive funeral ser-
vice was conducted by her pastor,
Rev. Mr. Morehouse, assisted by Rev.
Fulton Irwin, of Seaforth, and the
many beautiful floral tributes testi-
fied to the love and esteem in ,which
she was held in the community. In-
terment' was made in Union Ceme-
tery, Blyth, the pall bearers being her
brother, W. Byers Barkwell; three
brothers-in-law, J. N. Campbell, Jas.
Elsley and G. H. Neal, and two cous-
ins, William Mitchell and Jelin Medd.
Among those from a distance who at-
tended the funeral were: Mr. and Mrs.
G. N. Neal, Battle Creek; Mr. and
Mrs. B. Barkwell, Toronto; Mr. and
Mrs. William Mitchell, Hespler; Mr.
James Barkwell and three sons, Mr.
and Mrs. George Brooks and Mrs.
Frank McCharles, of Lucknow; Mrs.
(Rev.) Medd, Wheatley, and Mr. and
Mrs. Milton Hooper and son, of St.
Marys.
That night when Troy was sound asleep
Si let Ulysses out;
With torches lit they tore along
And raised a mighty shout.
The women shrieked,the children yelled
The lurid flames rose high;
The watchers on fair Tenedos
Beheld the glowing sky.
The Greeks dashed into every house,
The Trojans flew to arms;
But ere they reached their swords and
spears,
They fell in mangled swarms.
Did every Trojan perish there
On that wild night so dread?
Out from the ruins of blazing Troy
Four noble people fled.
Aeneas with his father old,
His wife and little boy,
Then turned his back forever on
The ruins of his Troy.
These four wandered for many years,
Until at last were seen
The rising walls of strong Carthage,
And Dido, the city's queen.
And standing at the palace door,
She welcomed every guest;
So, after all those anxious years,
The wanderers found sweet rest.
James Moore Ritchie.

Golden Anniversary.—One of those
rare and happy events which tend to
draw friends, old and young, closer
to each other, occurred on Monday
evening, the occasion being the cele-
bration of the anniversary of the
wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Richard
Hoggarth, which event took place 50
years ago on May 25th. About
eight o'clock their friends in the vil-
lage surprised them by trooping in
with good wishes and well filled
lunch baskets. After a very enjoy-
able hour spent in chat, an' address
was read by.: Mrs. Tufford and the
presentation of a gold banded Water-
man fountain pen to Mrs. Hoggarth
and a solid leather wallet to Mr. Hog-
garth were respectively made by Mrs.
Norman Park and Mrs. William
Houghton. Mr. and Mrs. Hoggarth,
though greatly surprised, were able to
reply' and i;o• thank their friends very
sincerely. Mr. Hoggarth is 76 years
of age and Mrs. Hoggarth 74. Both
are still active and able to be about
their different duties each day. They
have always lived in this neighbor-
hood and are highly respected and
valuable citizens, always ready to
give a helping hand and a word of
sympathy' or advece to those not so
wise in years and experience, and we
hope they may still have many years
together to enjoy a well earned rest
from the heavier toils of this world.
After joining hands and singing Auld
Lang Syne, all repaired to their homes
much happier for the enjoyable even-
ing spent together. The address,
signed by all present, is as follows:
"To Mr. and Mrs. Richard Hoggarth.
Dear Friends.—We, your friends and
neighbors, have met this evening to
celebrate in a quiet way the happy
event of the fiftieth anniversary of
your marriage, which took place fifty
years ago yesterday. We just wish
to let you know how we value you as
kindly and respected citizens. Dur-
ing the many years of your residence
among us we have ever found you
sympathetic and helpful neighbors.
We take great pleasure in presenting
to you, Mrs. Hoggarth, the fair bride
of fifty years ago, this fountain pen
as a little token of esteem, and to
you, Mr. Hoggarth, the handsome
groom of fifty years ago, this leather
wallet, and may you always have it
well filled. We all unite in sincerest
wishes that you may both be spared
for many happy years to come, bless-
ed with good health and that your
declining years may be crowned ,with
continued peace and plenty."

Death of Hugh J. MacDonald.—The
many relatives and friends of Mr.
Hugh J. MacDonald will regret to
learn of his death which occurred in
the Seaforth Hospital on Friday morn-
ing last in his 66th year. We men-
tioned in a former issue Mr. Mac-
Donald had been rushed to the hos-
pital there about two weeks ago, af-
ter suffering a most severe and violent
attack of stomach trouble, which he
had been suffering from for quite a
number of years and which was be-
coming all the time more severe. On
the evening he was taken to the hos-
pital from his farni in Tuckersmith,
where he had been working that day,
the pain had become so intense that
he felt he could hardly live to reach
the hospital for the operation, the
only chance of his life, and which,
although very successfully perform-
ed, the deceased's strength was not
sufficient to pull him through, and as
we have stated he passed away in
the early hours of Friday morning
last. The deceased, while working
his farms in the Township of Tucker -
smith, had resided in our village for
a long term of years and had also
been actively engaged in stock buy-
ing and shipping and en that line will
be very much missed by the farming
community. In politics he was a
very staunch Reformer, and took a
great interest in palitical matters. In
religion he was a Pkesbyterian. Mr.
MacDonald was twice married and by
his first wife had a son and daughter,
the first mentioned being Wellington,
who is holding a good position i n
Philadelphia, and Edna, who holds a
like good position with the Bank of
Toronto at London, who together with
his widow, nee Miss Anna Carlisle,
have the sympathy of the community
in their bereavement as the deceased
was a kind and indulgent father and
kind husband and will not only be
much missed by wife and children, but
also from the village where he had
lived so many years, and only a few
years ago built a very fine residence
