AN EVENINCI REVERIE.
By Donald McGillivray, Shanghai, China
I eat at sunset by the leke
While old and Young went to the play.
To see the scenes which man can make
Alone, 111 watch the dying day,
Go Hence! Go hence!
In youth I roamed. along the shore
Nor dreamed of distant foreign land
Careless I head old Huron's roar
Nor thought of China's outstretched
hand
Go hence! Go hence!
We extolled Sols glories in the west
* When sank to rest the king of day
I knew not of the future quest
Beyond the sun, where China lay.
Go hence! Go hence!
God's hand led on by devious ways,
His school prepared for bidden end.
At his set tirne, and for his praise,
He thrust me forth my lite to spend.
Go hence! Go 'hence!
Returning now awhile to rest .
'Mid scenes of yore tp memory dear,
With face still pointing to the West,
"Once more, God 's call is sounding
clear.
Go hence! Go hence!
Great China'a harvest white invites
Compels our service to the last,
Content when Jesus soul delights
To see His travail sore is past.
Go hence! Go hence
'Mid nations' anthem loud of praise
Will China's millions then appear,
Their thankful song to Him upraise,
Abolished death and all their fear,
Go hence ! Go hence I

MR. MASON'S LETTER
CALGAR•Y
Dear Editor:
As the Englishman says, in this "Blooms I
in" Country as well as other - parts of
Canada, Ottawa included, money is no
object, as the Canadians are a spendthrift
nation in the extreme, Calgary owes the
modest sum of seven mblions and furths
ermore the last tax sheet calls for over
four millions of back taxes owing to the
city. On one lot which cost V600, about
large enough to swing a cat on, the owner
owes $142 back taxes, so everybody does
not make money here.
If your wealth hangs out I would Bug-.
gest taking a side trip either from Calgary 0
or Edmonton, covering about twenty c
eight hundred miles, to Prince Rupert, e
Seattle, Victoria, Vancouver and back to
either place for the modest sum of 860,
which includes berth and meals on ocean
steamer, The major portion is 2000 miles
of unsurpassed mountain scenery. The
water trip especially of about 800 miles
through the inner channel of the Pacific,
is a delight, an experience of a life time so
lilt busts the bank take it, I found the as

William, the fourteen rhontha old son of
'Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Palmer, this town, met
with a fatal accidenton Wednesday after-
noon, when an oil stove in the home exploded, the blaze from which caught the
child's clothing and burned them from
his body, leaving the flesh a burned and
blistered mass. That the stove exploded
Is the only theory offered for the accident,
as the stove was not upset by the child, as
was first thought. The little fellow was
coming down stairs and had just entered
the room where the stove was located
when he fell a victim to the Haines. The
little fellow passed away a few hours fol-
lowing the accident. Much sympathY is
expressed for the parents and family in
their trouble. -Kincardine Review.
Mr Palmer and family resided for a
few years in Wingharn prior to his moving
to Kincardine about two years ago

The Party who passed along Mr. Wm.
J. Deyell's farm on the Lucknow bound-
ary on SaturdaY afternoon, in an autom.
bile and deliberately shot Mr Deyell's
collie pup is very likely to be prosecut-
ed. To say the least it was a cowardly
trick and no gentleman would carry a re-
volver to shoot innocent dogs The dog
was a good cattle dog and the little boy
was very much attached to his "wow
wow."
Stealing Must stop.
Three young hoodlums on Friday night,
assaulted a lady who was trying to drive
them out of her orchard where they were
taking her apples. From the blow upon
the head byone apple throvvn,the lady be-
came unconsicous. When arrainged be -
rore Police Magistrate Morton on Saturday
they pleaded guilty' to the charge, each
paying a pretty stiff fine with costs. As
there is a considerable amount of this pil-
fering going on here from the different
rdens, the authorities 'intend to deal
verely with the offenders.
