The Late Nurse Ferguson
Many citizens, and especially the nurses
and doctors of the General Hospital staff,
were greatly' shocked and distressed to
hear of the sad death at the Wingham
Hospital of Miss Grace Ferguson of that
place formerly of this city. '
Miss Ferguson had been til in the hos-
pital for about a month, and favorable
reports had been coming over the wires
as to hercondition until about two
weeks ago,when complications set in, and
all medical aid was of no avail, for weak-
ened by much illness during the past
year, she had not the strength to combat
the disease, and Death, with 'Wildly hand
opened the door and led her forth into
the eternal haven of rest, from this vale
of pain and suffering.
Miss Ferguson who was well known
and beloved throughout the city for her
sunny disposition and true fine character-
istics, received her training here., and for
three years was head nurse at tbe hospi-
tal till ill Health forced her resignation. For
over a year she suffered bravely and un-
complainingly --suffered as few have suf,
fered, her indomitable, spirit refusing to i
be beaten, and came Out victor. Recov- '
ering her strength to a great extent, she ,
again took up her profession. Then came
the epidemic, with its urgent demands on
nurses and everybody who had any nurs-
ing capabilities whatever, and though
emeamommony
Miss Ferguson was warned against taking
a Lase of this kind, she could not with-
stand the call to , her womanhood, her
nursehood to help, her stricken fellow
creatures, but sacrificed self on the altar
of devotion to her ideals, making the
supreme sacrifice as truly as' any of our
dear lads "in Flanders' fields," for hum-
anity's sake, Truly it can be said cafe her,
as we say of them, "Greater love hath no.
man than this,
The funeral was .held from her late,
home in Belgrave to the Wingham ceme-
tery, where interment took place, and
though time did not permit of her former
classmates of this city attending, mute
tribute of their loving esteem and deep
sorrow was expressed in the beautiful
flowers they sent.

A Coincidence •
The war erlded'on the llth hour of the
llth day of the llth month, Turn to the
llth verse of the llth chapter of the llth
book of the Bible, and you will find this:
"Therefore the Lord said unto Solomon,
Forasmuch as this is done of :thee, and
thou hast not kept my covenant and my
statutes, which I have commanded thee,
I will surely send the Kingdom from thee,
and will give it tothy servant." Look it
up.
A Wise 01d thin
A rather peculiar incident happened. on
Saturday morning last in which an ordin-
ary chicken wasithe centre of. attraction.
Mr. McCracken drove into town with a
load of milk to the City Dairy, and on the
rear axle of his wagon was perched a white
chicken as contented as could be. When
the wagon reached the City Dairy she un-
concernedly c hanged her position to the
front axle and returned home, apparently
quite satisfied with the trip.—Listowel

A warm color suddenly glowed in the
girl's cheeks and there was a soft light
in her brown eyes'as she thought of
that memorable nigl'►t.
Dane Stanwood had taken her to
that party, Once during the evening

he had suddenly appeared In Brierly
with the blue racing car, Soon it was
rumored that he had made a fortune
In the mines.
The second week after his return
Stanwood bought the old Blain man -
eon and gave -the information that he
intended to move into his new home
before Christmas. Next be announced
that preparations were under way for
a party which he was giving Christ-
mas eve. '
The evergreen girl had been sur-
prised and a little bit hurt beeause
Dane had not even called. She had
thought it strange, too, at first, that
she -did not receive an Invitation to
the party, for she knew nearly every
one in Brierly was going.
But when Itutlh was told the party
was to be given in honor of .Stanwoodts
fiancee, she understood why she had
not been invited.
"That is whyrHelen Stanwood didn't

The evergreen girl was so busy get-
ting the Stanwood order ready that she
did not notice that the blue roadster
had returned and stopped by the gate,
Neither did she observe the broad-
shouldered young man who was striding
ftp the path. The bell jingled merrily,
"There's Helen now,• after the
wreaths," Ruth thought, and she ran
to the door. Dane was standing in the
porch.
"Why, Dane!" she exclaimed, draw-
ing back in confusion. "How yeti

Dane ushered truth Into the big
double parlors of his new home, where
the Christmas tree had been placed,
"Do you suppose," he asked, paint-
ing to a great pile of evergreen at one
end of the room, "Iwo will be ably to

-"Ws is any third season," Huth re -
Jilted. "I found tltnt there was a big

ming" during the Christmas holidays,
SO three years ego 1 opened an ever-
green .shop, I lave to do this kine of
work, and although the season Is a
short one, my. little shop. pays well,"
The evergreen girl might have added
that, more than this, the rush of work
• just at Christmas time helped her to
forget the dull ache In her heart which
was always:me hard to bear during the
holidays. She said nothing of this,
though, but asked, instead:
"Tell me, Dane, flow you thieve spent
Christmas whsle ..you have been away.
Have you been where there was much
merrymaking?"
"Per the past three years," said
Stanwood,` "I've celebrated Christmas
by working train dawn till dark. This

"It has been a very .pleasant eve•
ning for me, too," said Ruth, "and I
have enjoyed It ever so much. Now
we'll trimtheChristmas tree, and then
you eau take pie home and get back
In time for the party."
At half -past seven Dane surveyed
the big double parlors' with -satisfaction.
With the help of the evergreen girl he
had finished the decorations and every-
thing was in readiness for the guests.
"The rooms look just as they did
four years ago at Dolly Blair's Christ-
miis tree—even the mistletoe bough,"
'said Dane. "Don't you remember how
that one hung right over our heads, as
this one does now?" •
The evergreen girl was silent.

' "No s'esoftly, "I liad not forgotten'i
"You never thought I bad r'orgotten,

"But you never wrote, Dane,"
"Because for a long time I was mites

of that night, though, and all these
years I've been planning to have a
Christmas party as much like that one
es I could, only this one tonight will
be for you."
"But Isn't the friend who is coming.
with Helen your fiancee?" faltered
Ruth.
"Not exactly," laughed Dane. "That
friend is Harry North, Helen's fiance.
The girl I expect to marry is here,
now, and, by Jove 1 I've caught her

" The dead body of Patrick McGrath, , of
Egmondville, was found on Sunday, Nov.
24th, in the bush on John Forrest's'. farm
south of the town It seems that Mr.
McGrath, who was a prosperous farmer
sold his farm last spring and came te, -live
in Egmondville. Regretting the sale he
bought it back, having to pay more than
he got for it. This seems to have caused
hint to become morbid and in mental ab,
erration to take his own life. On Wed-
nesday he left home and his wife thought
he had gone to buy a horse, and wai not
alarmed until Friday , when she told the
neighbors,who began to search for him.
It was not until Sunday his body was
found and a bottle of carbolic acid bee
side it. Dr, Burrows, the coroner, did
not consider an inquest necessary.
