Following acquittal on a charge of the
theft of a diamond ring before Judge

ines, Edith Gj'ibble a ward of St. Cathar-
ines' Children's Aid Society, was married
within a hour to William F. Freeman, of
Buffalo in St, Barnabas Church. Judge

Donald Patterson Resigns
At Thursday night's session of the
County Council Warden Newton Camp-
bell was presented with a$handsome gold -
headed cane as a token of esteem in which
he was held by the Council. As this was
the last session of the Council the evening
was spent in short speeches, given by
some of the other members of the Council.
Reeve Irwin also favored them with a
popular song f t his usually good form.
Reeve Young, Irwin and Sanders also
rendered atrio.
Atthe afternoon session Mr. Donald
Patterson, who has been county engineer
arid road supperintendent for 15 years,
tendered hie resignation. The Council
accepted the resignation with regret and
appointed his son to fill the position.
There was very little important business
before the Council, beyond adopting the
reports of the different committees on the
year's business.
The matter of making grants towards
the county hospital was gone into thor-
oughly, and while the necessity is seen
thetter wasover left ov r fpr the Council
of 1920,
TUE REASON MANY FAIL
1 ' used to wonder why it was so few
• where at the top. '
Why sortie men get so far ahead while
all the others stop;
But that was in the olden days when I
was but a.lad.
I understand it now because experience
I've had.
I went into a corner store to spend my
hard-earned pelf,
The man who owns the little place was.
standing there himself.
But he was talking politics or some-
thing with a friend
And hadn't time to take the cash which
I had come to spend.
I fumbled with my pocketbook, I tried
to catch his eye,
I tried a dozen ways or more to show
I'd come to buy.
At last I' asked him kindly if he cared
to wait on me
And found how truly insolent a foolish
man can be.
I do not wonder any more why few men
reach the top;
I've found the answer natty times f in
loan a store and shop,
A lot of men start out inlife with hope
and prospects bright,
But just a few discover that it pays to
be polite.
