JUP. PLEW DID HIS BEST
But he Couldn't Stop Them From At-
tending the Huron Old Boys and
Giris of Toronto. Card Games—
Seaforth Was There in Force.
When Jup. Plew is mean, he is
worse than that. For five hours
April 1st, he dumped the water down
by the bucketful. But when the
former Huronites got inside of the
hall, Jup. could go and take[ a chase
to himself.
A continual downpour of rain for
five hours interfered with the attend-
ance at the Huron Old Boys' Annual
Euchre and Bridge at Hygeia Hall on
Wednesday evening last.
However, notwithstanding the ele-
ments, a goodly crowd braved it and
carried on in the old Ilfaron style.
About twenty tables were used by
the euchre players and the same num-
ber for bridge.
The prize winners for the euchre
were: Gents—lst prize, M. Adams;
2nd prize. J. Lindsay. Ladies—lst
prize, Mrs. Phillips; 2nd prize, Mrs.

prize in bridge, and W. F. Mustard
carried off the gent's first prize.
At the conclusion, of the games, de-
licious refreshments were served, un-
der the supervision of Mrs. Vanstone,
convenor of the Refreshment Commit-
tee. (
New time and old time dancing was
indulged for the remainder of the
evening.

HENSALL SPRING SHOW
The Annual Spring Fair of the
South Huron Agricultural Society was
held at iHensall on Tuesday, under
weather conditions that were ideal.
The weather was bright and warm
and as work on the land had scarcely
started, there was an unusually large
crowd of spectators.
Not only was there a large, attend-
ance but both the number and quality
of the entries was above the average,
and no better display of heavy hoses
has been seen in the show ring this
year. In the championship class for
the best draft or agricultural mare
or gelding, there were twelve entries,
and this class alone was worth com-
ing out to see.
The cattle entry was the largest on
record, and the exhibit the best that
has been seen at any of the county
fairs, the Hereford class alone being
a show in itself.
The Government judges were: For
heavyhorses, Mr. W. J. Douglas, Cal-
edonia; light horses, Mr. Saul Putnam,

Financiel news: "Canadian cur-
rency takes a drop." Well, that's
what our personal Canadian currency
never does anything else but. Some
blame it on the deflation; and yet,
"taking a drop" is said to remove
that sense of deflation.

Said Alderman Beamish, barber, ad-
dressing the Master Barbers' Associ-
ation in Toronto last week: "We are
meeting the brains of the world every
day." Mebbe so, my beamish boy, but
as for us, we'd rather have (vain
wish) more hirsute adornment than
practically nothing between our bar-
ber and our brains.

Although the dog -days are not here
yet, the dog -catchers are abroad in
Toronto. While we do not wish to be
dogmatic, we will say that any citi-
zen who finds his dog gone may as
well suspect the doggone dog -catch-
ers.

Young Billy Jones •
Often thought of the groans, •
And the broken bone's of thesvietims

But 'twee war, simply war,
And he did not abhor
The tally of victims \nrectiely to jot

And when it reached thirteen, or may-

Young Billy, still fearless, but war -

Encountered a covey of fire -spitting

And his sun -painted plane they raked
fore and aft.
Somewhere in France where Billy lies
sleping,
They tell it for truth that when 'winds
Come a -sweeping,
And black grow the heavens and loud
roars the thunder,
The wet, huddled peasants will fear-

At seeing a phantom. the storm -cloud

Tis reckless, young devil-may-care

He skein the cockpit amid lurid flash-

He opens his guns and a fusillade
crashes.
He zooms up the cloud=banks, and
slides down the lightning,
And horror-struck peasants with
nerves all a-tight'ning,
Fixedly gaze till the storm has pass-

Then they'll turn and they'll say to
you, breath coming fast:
'Did you see who it was,, who rode

Twas leetle Billee. It was young
Meestaire Jane."

A LEGEND OF THE GREAT WAR
There's young Billy Jones.
How his airplane drones
Like a bee with its hidden sting!
And we in the trenches, covered with
Mud,
Wish that we too were a -wing;
Grim, unafraid, on a twilight raid,
Having our heedless fling.

The majority of the pupils had never
