Many Happy Returns
On Monday of this week, Right
`Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Leader
of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition in
the Dominion Parliament, celebrated
T• the sixtieth anniversary of his birth,
he having been .born on December 17,
1874.
• Sixty years is a long time to look
back over, but sixty years is not old,
scarcely is it middle aged, when the
life of a prominent Canadian poli-
tician is under consideration.,
And for thirty years or more. Mr.
King has been a prominent Canadian
and a prominent Canadian politician.
In fact there are few men in Can-
adian history who sprang into prom-
inence in our national affairs at such
an early an age as Mr. King, who
were able to maintain that promin-
ence over such a span of years as he
has done.
• He does not hold Canada in the
hollow of his hand by any means, but
at the same time, a man who has been
three times Premier, and stands an
excellent chance of filling that posi-
tion a fourth time, at the age of sixty
years, must possess some ability,
some quality above that of a mere
politician, to maintain not only the
loyalty of his political followers, but
the confidence of the Canadian peo-
ple.
Mr. King has done just that to a
remarkable degree and we believe
that the people of Canada, irrespec-
tive of their political leanings, will
wholeheartedly wish him many hap-
py returns of his 'sixtieth birthday.

Time Will Correct His Speed
The Stratford Beacon -Herald says
that a man from London, Ontario,
was doing fifty-five miles an hour
and an officer stopped him. The court
heard he was just starting on his
honeymoon trip and cut the fine in
two. He will move more slowly af-
ter he deals with the landlord, the
grocer, the coal man, the ice man,
the milk man, the baker, and so on.
Exactly. And, no doubt, in the
course of years, there will be many
times when his only desire to travel
at fifty-five miles an hour will be to
travel backwards.
He won't get out of bed on a cold
winter's night at the rate of fifty-five
tines an hour, when one of the chil-
dren cries.
And he won't hurry home at the
rate of fifty-five miles to Iook after
the family while the wife goes bridg-
ing, either.
Neither will he cut the grass, nor
dig the garden, nor wash the dishes,
nor turn the mangle at fifty-five
miles an hour.
In fact, about the only time that
young man will crave for speed will
be on occasions when he has been sit-
ting up late with a sick friend, or ,
something similar.
He would beat fifty-five miles an
hour getting home then, if he could.
But he can't. ,
Following all honeymoons, how-
ever, there comes a time when speed
is the only thing that can save a man.
Times when the only Use a man has
for the ground is to push himself
over it.
If he can break fifty-five or even
iaixty miles an , hour then—well-he's
lucky.

only t;ling on the farm that has held
Ins own. He has had his ups and
downs of course, but generally his
price has ruled steady, with, perhaps,
more ups than downs.
And well it has been so. With pota-
toes at twenty-five cents a bag and
cattle prices where they have been
for several years; raising the money
to. pay the farm taxes is not the sim-
ple matter that many outsiders be-
lieve it to be.
The prices of grain and hay have
helped this fall, but without the hogs
the farmers would be even in a wore
plight than they are to-day—if that
were possible.
The prices of some farm commodi-
ties are going up, but until all the
others swing into line, the farmers
are not going to get out from under,
not to mention making a living or a
little money.
And until the farmer gets into that
condition, the rest of us can whistle
for good times, and take it out in
whistling at that.
Good and all as the hog has been
in these times of depression, he can't
do it all himself. Canadian prosper-
ity can onlycome from the land anti
until commodities step up to the hog,
politicians can raise tariffs and boost
other industries to the limit of their
powers without making any impres-
sion on the times, as far as prosperity
is concerned.

Fare, Please
The editor of the ° Clinton News -
Record in its last issue says:
"They found a nasty little snake in..
a bunch of bananas in Stratford the
other day. We would advise that the
editor of The Seaforth Expositor go
down to Stratford, call for the edi-
tor. of the Stratford Beacon -Herald,
and together they go (they would
thus keep each other's courage up)
and try and make friends with it, and
so get over their childish fear of
snakes. We understand, of ,course,
that the reptile is safely confined in
a cage."
Why should The Expositor pay any
attention to a nasty little insinuation
of cowardice just to make friends
with a nasty little snake. That is
what the Clinton editor called it any-
way.
And then there is the question of
travel and the expense. We under-
stand the Beacon -Herald editor is
something of a traveller. At least he
was up in Seaforth the . other day.
But the . editor of The Expositor is
not. Being the editor of a country
weekly he can't afford to travel, and
being Scotch, he would hate to waste
, the money.
If the editor of the Clinton paper
is so anxious for us to make friends
with that nasty little Stratford snake
why doesn't she go down and bring
it up here. And while she is at it,
why not bring up a case or two of
snake -bite preventative also. We
will do our best to get on friendly
terms with both.
But if the Clinton editor wants us -
to travel, especially on such an er-
rand, there is only one inducement
that would budge us—Fare, Please !
WHAT OTHER PAPERS SAY.
Only Two Left
(PChristian'Science ;Monitor)
Lord Chief Justice Holt of England was, as a
youngster, a member of a club of rather m'is-
chieavous fellows. Later in Iife most of this gang
got into difficulties ,with the law.
One day, when his lordship was presiding at a
session of Old Bailey, he recognized a man who
had been arrested on a charge of highway rob-
bery as one of his boyhood companions. Think-
ing that the prisoner had not recognized him, he
began questioning him regarding some of his "'old
associates,.
The prisoner made 'a low bow. "Ah, my lord,"
he said with a deep sigh, "they are all hanged
except your lordship and me."

Rural Philosophy '
(Trenton Courier-+Adrvoeate )
There is a wealth of wisdom, in same of the
sayings of country people. A young lady, with
a bit. of petticoat showing, was passing up a
street when a 'lady remarked in our hearing:
"That girl's father think more of her than her
mother,' " A young man of our acquaintance
told a young lady that times Were too hard .just
now for their mtarriPatge. The girl promniptly
minded hlio that "a hen can scratch as well d is
roaster."
"Throw your Matches in, the middle' of the
floor," advised a friend, "and non will never set
fixe to a !building." "If it is against all rules of
sport 'far dogs to be used in IdeerA-hunting," re-
. Marked a (hunter, "what dad the good Lord make

'One of the most daai+ag and re-
volting crimes' that was ever conilrn'it-
ted in Western Ontario?
About midnight on Tuesday, Feb-
ruary 3, 1880, some twenty ,persons,
with faces blackened and dressed in
women's clothes, called' at the hoarse of

of Biddulph, near 'Logan. A' sotn,,.
Thomas, aged 21, answered the kngok
and was immediately arrested by the
crowed and murdered with a spade.
The other inmates of the house;, Mr.
and Mrs. James Donneelly, and a niece,
Bridget, were then drubbed and • l> eat-
en to death. One boy, James Con-
nors, aged 12, escaped)
Oil was poured on the house and
furniture land a fire started which
obliterated all trace of the crime. No
alarm was given and it was not un-
til early the next morning that a
neighbor saw the smoking ruins.
At about the same time a murder
was being co iimitted at the home of
the elder Donnolly; .tags men called! at
the :home of his soon, Wiiliaan•, 'some
three miles distant. Another son„
John, answered the door and was im-
mediately shot. His brother pulled

for a series of robberies and incen-

never proved.
Three months previous to the trag-
edy a number of opponents of the
Donnelly's, believing that something
must be done, formed themselves into
a vigilant's committee. It was
thought this committee was in some
way responsible for the slaughter,
and as a result some twenty of the
Brown members were arrested; and
lodged in London jail.

S. S. LESSON FOR DECEMBER 23
Lesson Topic—The Christian Home
(Christian Lesson). •
Lesson Passage — Luke 2:8-19;
Ephesians 6:1-4.
Golden Text—.Lake 2:14.
(Dr. Thomas Guthrie in his book,
"The Angel's Song," beautifully de-
scribes' the scene in to -day's lesson.
Hie 'says: "The birth of an heir to
the throne is usually accompanied by
circumstances !befitting so great an
event. No place is deem -ad worthy
of it but a royal place; and there, at
the approach of the expected hour,
high nobles and the great officers of
state assemble, while the whole coun-
try, big with hope, waits to welcome
a successor to its long line of kings.
Cannons announce the event; sea-
ward, landward; guns flash and' roar
from floating +batteries and rocky bat-
tlements: bonfires 'blaze on hill -tops;
steeples ring out the news in mterry,
peals, the nation holds holiday, giv-
ing itself to banqueting and enjoy-
ments, 'while public prayers and
thanksgiving, rise t5 Hilni .by whom
kings reign and princes decree jus-
tice.''' With such pomp and parade do
the heirs of earthly thrones enter
on the stage of fife! So came not He
who is .the King of kings and Lord
of lords. On the eve of His birth
the world went on its usual round.
None were moved for His coming;
nor was there any preparation for
the eluent—a chamber, or anything
else. The very tokens by which the
shepherds were taught to recognize
Him were rept the 'majesty but the
extreme aneanness of his condition.
"This shall be a sign unto you; ye
'shall find the babe wrapped in swad-
dling clothes Lying in a manger." In
flet, the Lord of heaven was to be
recognized by his Phulmiiliation, as its
heirs are by thneir humility.. Omen
of coming events, the world received
its King in sullen silence. But 'the
heaven's declared His glory, the skies
sent out a sound—there were light,
music, and angel forms. All these
were in perfect keeping with .the One
whose (birth they proclaimed—the
silent night—the shining stare—the
dews glistening on the< grass --snowy
flocks safely pasturing—.and the she.p-
iherds themselves, to whom the an-
nunciation was made: men who whe-
ther going before their eharge, or
carrying the laimibst in their arms, or
s
tending bravely between their flocks'
and the roaring lion, were the -chole=
st emblems and types of Him who,
dung to save ups, -gave His life for
he sheep. To therm there suddenly
ppeared a multitude of the heeavlern
y host, turning night into day, and
heading on the soft hills around a
right but gentle radiance. As guard;

O little town of Bethlehem;
How still we see thee lie,
Above thy deep and dreamless slee
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets. shineth
The eder1asting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to -night. ,

For 'Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered' all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the king,

O Holy Child of Bethlehem,
(Descend .to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and, enter. in;
Be born in us to -day.

Ephesians 6:1-4.—The following ex-
tract is takin from a Christmas ser-
mon by Drr. Joseph Parker: "In the
spirit of the Cross would I soleinnize
and celebrate Christmas Day. Let
there be no family quarrels after this
morning. It is useless to boast of
your Christian aspiration and Chris-
tian' feeling, if you do not prepare to
associate on terms of affection and
confidlence with all ;persons within
your awn house who are willing to
reciprocate such feelings. Is it pos-
sible that ,meneebers of one family
inlay be living in enmity (fathers, pro-
voke not your children to wrath). Let
this .be ,the moment of the cessation
of hostilities, and let each erri ulate
the other in it spirit of forgiveness).
Is it possible ebhet any son has run
away from his father's house and is
afraid to return? Let him' this day
resolae that he will knock at the door
of the old home, confess his sin, and
ask to be taken once more into the
bosom and love of the family. Are
there differences between the old and
the young? Let each consider how
he can most earnestly fulfill tihe law
of Christ; lest hili) indeed try to in-
vent opportunities of reconciliation.
If we really want to be reconciled'
there can be no difficulty about the
matter. If we will act in this way,
this Christmas will be the brightest
day in a life that must .of necessity
have known much change, felt the
coldness of much shadow, and seen
the uncertainty of the richest treas-
ures that !belong only to time. Lees
pray for one another. With the dy-
iivg year let us bury all our dtffer-
eneces. Christianity came into the
world to unite the human family. This
is the burden of the music of -Christ's,
heart. He always goes out after that
which is lost until he finds it.
(May the • spirit of prayer as set
down in the following hytmm be the
Ctlerisrtmas spirit in every home this
season:
"Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Hell nie with Iife anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
Aad do what Thou wouldst do."
Edwin (Hatch.

who thunders denunciation to all evil -
deers, was once the ringleader "of a
gang of young outlaws who were the
perplexity and despair of their elders'_.
Yes, my friend, pups grow up. And
so do boys and ,girls. Let us, there-
fore, be patient with the follies of
mlodern youth. Let us not be cast
down as we 'consider their frailties.
Remember those far away days of
your own youth.
'He's just a pup."

Be patient, lett some day we sunt
Ovr eyes on .dear ones fast asleep,
And whisper as 'rine learn and yearn,
"How often, I have made you weep!"
Solme loved you not and words let fan
That mist have pierced your gentile
breast,
But I, who lofved you best of all,
Did hurt you more than all the rest.
One lesson let us bear in mind:
To hold our home -folk close} and
' faseb,
Since loyal +hearts- arae 1iard to And,
And life and 1oye'so soon fate past.
