Morris-Feild -Rogers-Co LISTOWEL. Hearts Won Clip, clip, went the whip. One of the most exciting races that ever took placein the country was on. Dashing around the country road came the black stallion, and in the light waggon were seated a couple whose destiny de- pended upon the speed of the thorough- bred. A young man held the reins tightly, while his companion, airl, with her hair flying all over her face, gazed behind her at an approaching vehicle, with apprehension written up- on her spirited features. "Oh, Jack, they are gaining," she breathed. Clip, clip. The stallion was strain- ing every nerve. It was a stern chase and a long one. "If pa does ctach us, Jack, he'll kill you," she whispered. The waggon now was rocking like a boat in a storm, and she clung with solicitude to his arm, "Say, Jack, he's got his gun." Jack muttered something, pressed his lips more closely, and again touch- ed his whip to the flanks of the gallant nag. he only hadn't changed horses on us, sweetheart, we'd have beaten him out of the county." "Dad was always full; of mean tricks." "That's so. The meanest man on earth." "No, not that, Jack—" "Then, what does he want to come between us, for? You belong to me, don't you?" "Yes, but—" "If that confounded dog hadn't bark- ed we'd have got away all right." "I thought he'd bitten you when he fled at you like that." "Only got a piece of cloth for his trouble. Still, it's embarrassing. If I had only an ulster to put on. , Might trouble me to explain to the minister." "If we only get there!" sighed the other. "Get there. We will or die." "Yes, die together." Clip, clip, patter, patter. The second vehicle was approaching closer. An- other ten minutes and the race would be lost." Jack had apparently played for desperate stakes, and stood a good chance of losing. "I oyvmuchfa.rtheris it to the min- ister's, Jack?i' "Ten miles." "Oh, dear, there's the tollgate. Like a whirlwind the waggon dash- ed up to the low wooden structure. A. man with sandy whiskers came out. Jack pressed a $5 dill into his hand. "Never mind the change," he said. "Quick; lift the gate; it's life or death. You're a good friend of mine, Bill." "Ye-ou can bank on that, squire. I knowed your father and his father be- fore him, and the family—" "Don't waste a word, then, Bill. Let me through." "Elopement?" • "Yes," "Old man back there?" pointing to the approaching dust. "Yes, yes." "Pretty hot, I guess?" "Yes, quick or—" "Got a gun, I guess." "For heaven's sake open tbat gate, 0E—" "He'd use it, too, he would. Why, I remember when—" "Up with the gate, Bill." "All right. It's rather unsociable ye-ou are this morning, but I spose ye-ou are rather busy. Good morning. I'd like to be there and give away the bride, for a bonnier girl there ain't to be found in the county, even if she is the darter of the meanest man in the vicinity, and it's Bill Goggins who says it." Like an arrow from a bow they sho t beneath the uplifted pole, and Bill gaz- ed after them meditatively. "Well, well, young blood and warm hearts," said he. "That's just like me afore I got old in the plow. Gosh, ain't the old man tearing mad. Look at the dust he's raising. He's rollirt' along like a cyclone, waving his arms and shoutin' mad. They won't be much left of Jack after he gets through with him." The cyclone was approaching near- er and nearer. In the centre of the cloud could be seen a waggon, and in the waggon an elderly man who held the whip with one hand and the reins with another, while between his knees was a formidable -looking weapon which looked like a blunderbuss. He dashed toward the tollgate at about a 2.30 clip, and was about to ride through when down came the pole, and the horse sank back upon its haunches. "Toll," said the mild, pleasant voice of Bill. "I haven't any time to bother with you, you scoundrel," was the reply. "Lift that bar." "Really, now, that ain't a perlite ay to talk." "Let me through, ycu rascal, or I'll horsewhip you." "Well, now, two can play at that little game. Toll, please." The old gentleman fumed and raged and then felt in his pocket. In his haste in donning his trousers his change had dropped to the floor and he hadn't a cent. "Here," he said, "I haven't any money with me. I must get through. I must catch that scoundrel ahead. Lift that bar at once." "We ain't doing business that way," Children Cryfor , Pitcher's Castorla. r I l:p',.., Was the calm reply.. "ft Coat $223 last i, tear to maintain this here private horoughfare, and we aint running a charity. tollgate." The old gentleman nearly fell from his waggon in an apoplectic fit, "You won't let me through?" "No, sir-ee." When: Bill added the extra syllable that meant business. "Then, confound you, I'll,--" • He raised his gun. In a twinkling it was wrestled from him, Then Bill raised the old blunderbuss, and point- ed it at his opponent. .The old man got behind the seat in alarm, ?+ "Now, if you don't keep away, I'll blow off your thinking cap, he said, as calmly as ever, The old gentleman ducked his head more than ever to save that valuable portion of his anatomy. "Now, I guess we can talk busieess," said Bill. "This ain't no Bastile, and it ain't goin' to be stormed in that fashion. You haven't got the price?" "No." "Then you can't go through. Them's the orders." For an hour they expostulated. At the end of that time another carriage approached and the oldentleman borrowed a nickel from a friend, and dashed on his way. The man at the tollgate would not surrender the gun, which be said had been raised against him, and which he wanted as evidence. When the old gentleman reached the house of the minister the young couple and the reverend gentleman were strolling out of the front door. Jack surveyed his irate father-in-law calm- ly"You're a little late in getting here, father," he said. "We hoped to have the pleasure of your company, and in- deed wanted- you to give away your daughter, but time was pressing—and you understand the anxiety of a lover —so we decided not to wait. Stilt, bet- ter late than never. You will at any rate have the satisfaction of being the fir st to congratulate us. There is my hand, sir. I thank you for the honor of having given me your lovely daugh- ter, and trust that I may never prove unworthy of the confidence you have bestowod upon rue. Edith, dear, re- ceive the parental blessing." DO YOU POST LETTERS? The text of the notice as to the mail- ing regulations sent out recently by the P. O. department is as follows: Attention is called to the following sections of the Post Office Act, 1885 [49 Vic. chap. 35]: Section 93—"Every one who encloses a letter or letters, or any writing in- tending to serve the purpose of a let- ter, in a parcel posted for the parcel post, or in a packet of samples or pat- terns, or in newspaper posted to pass as a newspaper, or in any mail matter sent by post not being a letter, shall incur a penalty not exceeding X40, and not less than 5110 in each case." Section 94—"Everyone who, with fraudulent intend removes from any postage stamp any mark which has been made thereon at any post office, is gully of a misdemeanor." Section 108—"Every person who uses or attempts to use in prepayment of postage any postage stamp which has been before used for a like purpose, shall incur a penalty not exceeding $40, and not less than $10 for every such offence." Under the above sections several prosecutions have lately been institu- ted. In one case the cleaning of can- celled stamps for the purpose of using them again, the culprit was sent to prison for a' term of two years; in the other cases fines were imposed as pro- vided by law in no instance less than $10. It is the intention of the depart- ment to prosecute rigorously all per- sons who may be detected in deliberate attempts to defraud the revenue. A. P. CARON, Postmaster-Gener al.

WHY THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE SUSTAINED. The Mowat Government deserves the support of every friend of stable, honest, economical, progressive government. Of every man who would save the treas- ury from politioal "developers" and bonus - hunters, who would run the Province through a few years of extravagance and slap into direct taxation. Of the young men, who have hope of a united Canada and are sick of the racial and religious cries which threaten to divide the people into hostile camps, make govern- ment impossible and Confederation a farce and a failure. Of every man who (bee not desire to have business and professional interests threat- ened and harassed by rash experimental legislation. Of every man who does not desire to see the uncertain leader of an office -bunting party tempted to bid for an alliance with factions and parties that have no com- mon interest of principle or polioy. Of every man who desires that Ontario shall retain her position as one of the best - governed States of the civilized world, whore legislation is wise and progressive, where financial institutione are secure, where credit is maintained by sound laws and safe business methods, where the pro- teotion against quacks and charlatans, where agriculture is generously encouraged and the farmers are not taxed and befooled in order to "develop" other interests; where the public patrimony is carefully husbanded and wisely administered, and men of all parties in their candid• mo- ments speak with enthusiasm and pride of the way all the affairs of the Province aro managed, all interests conserved and pro- tected, and all classes treated with simple, equal -handed justice. --Globe. ararMs.1- "PON'T!"

A GRADUATE OF TORONTO UNI- VERSITY SAYS: +"My children have been treated with Scott's Emulsion from their earliest yearel Our physician first recommend it and now whenever a child takes cold my wife im- mediately resorts to this remedy, which al- ways effects a cure." A SMART BOY. An amusing incident in which Pres- ident Van Horne and a check boy in the employ of the C.P.R. telegraph department figured took place in the company's office in Victoria one even- ing last week. The railway magnate entered the office to send off an im- portant message, and as there were several customers sending messages at the time he quietly waited his turn. .As soon as they had finished their business, he handed the message to the boy, who carefully counted the words. In the corner Mr Van Horne had writ- ten "D. H." and when the boy saw this, he seemed puzzled for a moment or two, but quietly asked:—"Will you please show me your pass, as I have to put the number on the message?" A look of astonishment passed over the President's face, which soon gave place to a smile. In reply he asked the boy how old he was. `Fourteen years old, sir," was the quick reply, "And how long haveyou been in the company's employ?" was asked. "About four months, sir," the boy re- plied with a somewhat troubled look. "Well, my lad," said Mr Van Horne, putting his hand in his pocket and pulling out a $5 bill, which he gave to the boy, "you are the smartest boy I have ever seen, and some day you will be president of the C.P.R. Send that message as soon as possible, and never mind the number of my pass, as I haven't seen it this year. But it will be all right." Mr Van Horne with a smile then left the office, while the boy didn't seem to realize the situation at all, and when told by one of the operators, who had quietly enjoyed the scene, that he had been talking to, the president of the C. P.R., his amazement may be imagined. I cured a hose of the mange by using MINARD'S LINIMENT. Dalhousie. CHRISTOPHER SAUNDERS. I. cured a horse badly torn by or pitch fork, with MINARD'S LINIMENT.

DEAD AT 200 YEARS The famous 200 -year-old tortoise of Colombo, capital of Ceylon, died a few weeks since. This tortoise was pre- sented to the Dutch Government of Ceylon 150 years ago, and when the island became the possession of Great Britain the tortoise likewise fell under the guardianship of the British. Through all the events which have oc- curred since those days the reptile has maintained its quiet existence, except- ing for a struggle - it is said to have successfully maintained against no less than seven men who endeavored to re- move it to the grounds wherein an ex- hibition was being held, and for such little excitement as might have been occasioned from time to time by the carrying of half -a -dozen delighted children on its back. Recently it was moved to Victoria Park, and this change of quarters is thought ta have caused its death. The' monster was six feet from snout to tail. Ngvvfil ?NOTES, Mr I.

In an address at Vancouver the other day Hon. Mr Reid, of Victoria, Australia, spoke enthusiastically of Canada's resources. He said: "One thing was constantly upper- most in his mind: What a grand future was in store for Canada, with improved trade relations." That is just what the present Government deny her. Give Canadians natural conditions and her trade will re- quire no subsidies or bonuses. According to the British and For- eign Bib19 Society there is little chance for circulation of the Bible in Japan. The society says of Japan: ."The pro- gress of Christianity seems to pause be- fore the absorption of the people in their new political passions.' Some visitors to Japan say that the trouble is that the Japanese, eager to receive everything of Western civilization, have welcomed the missionaries of all sects of Christianity and now are great- ly puzzled over the rival claims of dif- ferent denominations. About a year ago there was printed a highly interesting stcry about a girl who discovered a broken rail on a rail- road bridge, and who took off her skirt and signaled a train to stop, thereby saving the life of many passengers. The incident was somewhere in Ohio. Railroad Commissioner Kerby, of that State, has received a letter from Mme. Gillet, directress of the Order of Hu. inanity of France, expressing a desire to present to the young heroine the diploma and prize of the French Soci- ety of Life Saving, a tricolor ribbon with the cross of the Legion of Honor pendant and an anchor of hope in the center. On Monday, at noon, Thomas Jell, foreman of the shipping department of the Preston Woollen Mills, Berlin, disappeared from his home, and has not since been seen. He left his home, saying he was going to work, but he did not appear at the factory. He was possessed of a very delicate constitu- tion, being subject to Bright's disease, and it is generally believed that he had committed suicide, and searching parties were sent out in all directions. However, the firm for which he work- ed received a bunch of keys from him by mail, which he used in the dis- charge of his duties in the factory. His name was on the tag, but the town stamped thereon could not be made out. He has a wife and a number of children. Mise Frances Willard, the president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, who has been in Europe for many months trying to recover her health, is much better now, and is Doming home very soon. She will probably be there in a month for:she has promised to speak at Chautauqua this summer. While in England she has been the guest of Lady -Henry Somerset, in East - nor Castle, in Herfordshire, and while there her hostess had a finny adventure. She was walking out on her grounds one day when she saw two men taking pictnree of the castle with a camera. With the greatest consideration ehe went to greet them and speak kindly to them, especially as they seemed bashful. She asked them to make themselves quite at home. They did so. They looked at everything with every evidence of interest, even in the smallest details. Presently a policeman came pnffing np on a rnn, and when ,the benevolent Lady Somerset's new-found friends saw him they fled precipitately, leaving the officer to explain as soon as he got hia breath. It seems that the photo- graphers were two expert burglars who had come to look the ground over prepara- tory to doing a bit of professional business there.
