(1UR COUNTRY YEARS AGO
a t An (Ad Sung reproduced.)
This wilderness watt our abode,
Full eighty years ago;
And when good meat we used to eat
We shot the buck or does;
For fish we used the hook and tine,
We pounded corn to make it tine;.
On johnny cake our ladies dine
In this new country.
Our paths were in the winding woods,
Where oft the savage trod;
They were not wide, nor scarce a guide,
But all the roads we,,„hnd.
Our houses they were togs of wood,.
Rolled up in squares and daubed with
mud;
If the bark was tight and the roofs were
good,
In this new country.
With axes good we chopped our wood,
For well we all knew how
We cleared our land with hardy !rand
To fit it for the plow;
We sowed our land with rye and wheat,
For strangers and ourselves to eat.
From the maple tree we drew our sweet,
In this new country.
Of deer Skin we made moccasins
To wear upon aur feet;
For checkered skirts we thought
Good Company to keep,
If a visit we would wish to pay
On a winter night, or a winter's day,
The oxen drew our ladies' sleigh,
In this,new country.
The Indians ofttimes made us fear
That there was danger nigh;
The shabby bear was often there,
The pig in the stye,
The rattlesnake our children dread
And oft our fearful mother said
Some beast of prey will take our babe,
In this new country.

Hos9itai for Sick Childrot
TORONTO
Upkeep of Big Charity Requires Fifty
Cents a Minute,
Mat- Mr. Editor: •
The 44th annual report of tete
Hospital for Oink Children, Toronto,
shows a notable advance in even
department of its setaice to the out
tering and crippled youngsters of
this province. The ward accommo-
dation has been taxed to its capacity,
and the summer annex, the Lake-
side Home, was opened for the first
time since the outbreak of war.
The daily - average of cot patients
has increased during the year
from 192 to 223, including children
from practically every county in
Ontario, Even had the cost of sup-
plies and labbr remained stationary,
the substantial increase in the num-
ber of patients Would alone account
for the addition to the charity's debt,
which at the close of the fiscal year
was $109,000. This debt has become
an embarrassing burden. Further
increase must threaten impairment
I of an enviable efficiency.
The Hospital is in the forefront of
all institutions upon this continent
devoted to the care of sick children.
It cost $335,399 to maintain last
Iyear, This great sum not only puts
1 at the service of the children of
Ontario all the resources of medical
science, but, in addition, provides for
a training school for 120 nurses and
for unsurpassed clinical facilities
for the University students who are
preparing to engage in their pro-
fession throughout the province.

them to a little waggon, on which he had

VILLAGERS ALARMED
Thamesville Herald
Quite an amusing scare happened to
our quiet village one day last week when
word was brought in that a wonderful
strange -looking craft was seen floating in
the river near the bridge, An automobile
load went out to investigate and reported
back that it had them beaten, and that it
looked very suspicious. The village offic-
als were appealed to and they; with a
number of the curious ones, went to the
bridge ready to give assistance if required.
When they arrived at the river they found
the object, a strange -looking oval top box,
floating suspiciously in the water. The
idea of submarines and dynamite came to
the minds of the onlookers then cold
chills went through them and they all
kept a safe distance away. Finally some
of the wise and cool-headed smelled whis-
key and a messenger was sent post haste
for Chief O'Neil to come and make a seiz,
ure. The chief was soon "Johnny on the
spot," but as soon as he saw the object at
a distance said: "Boys, go home and say
stiothing about it." O'Neil told his fellow
citizens that he had rend in the papers
where. Mr. Currie" had been making dem
onstrations in the river at Chatham and
Wallaceburg, of his damp-proof cement
sepulchres, and that the object they were
looking at was one of them. The crowd
then got their breath and came back to
town none the worse of the scare.

Walkerton Coal Mau in Trouble
A Walkerton coal dealer was arraigned
before Magistrate Tolton in the police
court here on Tuesday afternoon. ken the
charge of forgery and, false _pretences.
This accusation was the outgrowth of a
claim that the weigh bills for coal receiv-
ed by several parties in town had been
tampered with after leaving the town
weighmaster's hands, and the figures
raised from 100 to 300 pounds, thereby
charging these consumers for more coal
than they received. Oiie party, who
scrutinized his bill and thought the
figures looked as if they had been chan-
ged brought the slip to Chief Ferguson,
the official weighmaster who keeps the
duplicate of each weigh bill on fyle. The
Chief's record showed, it seems, that
figures on the slip received by this chap
had been raised 200 pounds. The news
spread, and other parties who had bought
coal from this dealer began looking up
their bills with the result that consider-
able alterations in the figures are -alleged

sequence the coal, dealer Was hailed be-
fore Magistrate Tolton, and upwards of
three hours were consumed by the court

affair. Weighmaster Ferguson was there
with his records, and on comparing them

victims to court, it was found one given
R. E. Truax, M P., had been raised 200
lbs., and another held by the same party

returned soldier, produced a bill marked
2640 lbs., while the Chief's record showed
his coal to have weighed 2340, or a differ-

weight raised 200 lbs, and Mel. Dain 100
