We hope they will all learn how to make their "hit" in life. Last week, one of our young men, Mr. N. F. Mowbray, decided that the time had cone when he really needed a housekeeper. He found one in the person of Miss Sadie Hutchison of Whitechurch. May their joys be many and their sorrows few. One day last week, a horse got mired under some shade trees. For- tunately two men happened along and relieved the animal, who carried away marks of the bog with it. Even a horse can't meddle with mire and come out as clean as it was before, Mrs. (Dr.) R. Agnew of Clinton, son and daughter, and Dr. Turner of Lon- don were visitors at Mr, John Agnew's on Sunday last. Mrs. Thos. Agnew and daughter, Miss Polly, of Evans- ton, Illinois, are also guests at the same home. Mr. Agnew has been en- oying a sort of homecoming of his itmily lately. Besides his daughters, Hannah and Amelia of Philadelphia, Dr. Jas. Agnew of Ohio has been visit- ing the old home. To crown all, Dr. John Agnew of Crestline, Ohio, came home last week, bringing with hint his bride. Mona; ROBBERIES.—This thieving business is not yet a thing of the past. There have been more robberies, and best of all, the thief is well known. Last week, the home of Thos. Car- ruthers was entered and a quantity of soap stolen, and encouraged by his success, the thief entered the same house on Sunday and stole Mi'. Oar- ruther's pipe. This was too precious to lose, and Mr. Carruthers gave chase and the stolen property was recover- ed. Later on, the same thief was seen entering the residence of John Rogers. On enquiry, we learned that the ras- cal has been hanging around that home all winter, eating and drinking at John's expense, and never paying a cent for it. He is always well dressed and appears in public in a good black suit (minus the plug hat.) No detec- tive work will be necessary as he is well known. His name is "Jim Crow." r e . ."

He was in his 56th year, and a member of the Presbyterian Church. The funeral took place on Saturday to Wingham ceinetery, An Alarming Record. Canadian railways have done their share towards filling the cemeteries of the land. For the nine months ced- ing April ist last, the record is appal- ling, and thaws that 400 persons were killed and 003 injured. Since April 1st, there have been a number of other accidents that have largely increased the number of killed and injured. Is there no means of prevention ? Is Inmate life not worth more thought- ful care ? Accidents will happen, but carelessness may have a great deal to do with making so largo a list of killed and injured in in months.

If our town could keep up the building record of 1007, it would soon distance every other town in the county. A Wortby Woman. Last week we referred to the sudden death of Mrs. McBain of Atwood, aunt of Mrs. W. H. Cruikshank of Turn - berry, Mrs. McBain had never known what it was to be ill, and on Tuesday morning was doing her morning work as usual. About 9 o'clock she dropped suddenly while at her work and only lived a very short time. Death is sup- posed to have been duo to heart failure. Deceased was a resident of the community for over 25 years, and was a friend to all. She was one who was able and willing to help in all cir- cumstances, and many young men and women have her to praise for their positions in life, won by the kindly advice given by her. Besides a grief-stricken husband, there are four sons and a daughter. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. Mr. Bond, pastor of the Methodist Church, of which deceased was a faithful and energetic worker. Mr. and Mrs. Cruikshank attended the funeral.

A despatch from Harrisburg, Penn., reports as follows :—Confidence in a dream probably averted a big wreck on the Northern Central Railroad. Previous to reporting for duty at the roundhouse, Engineer Jas. Burd, who hauls the Buffalo flyer leaving Harris- burg at 11.10 p. in., dreamed that his train had run into a landslide at a point between Dauphin and .Halifax, fifteen miles from Harrisburg. He told his dream to several roundhouse attaches, but they laughed at him. Engineer Burd, to ease his mind, de- termined to run slowly after passing Dauphin. So, speeding his train up to the limit till Dauphin was passed, Burd slowed up, and it was well he did, for at a point some distance north of Dauphin, identical with the place he had seen in his dream, the engine plowed into a landslide. Going slow- ly, the engineer was able to bring his train to a stop with Little or no damage. Enjoyable "At Nome." A most enjoyable evening was spent in the school -room of St. Paul's on Monday last, when the A. Y. P. A. were "At Home" to the pupils and teachers of the High School acid the teachers of the Public School. Rev. T. S. Boyle presided in his usual plea- sant manner, and after a brief address of welcome introduced a pleasing pro- gramme, consisting of—lnstrumental duet by Misses Houghton and Davis ; solo by Miss Mann ; quartettes by Misses Farquharson and Mason, and Messrs. Cline and Hill ; solo by Miss W. Alba Chisholm ; character songs by Mr. F. S. Gales, who was recalled and responded. Misses Houghton and E. Gracey were accompanists. In ad- dition to the Chairman's address, Prin- cipal Taylor and Mr. J. 0. Smith, of. the High School staff, gave addresses. At the close of the programme, coffee, sandwich, cake and ice cream were served, and social conversation pre- vailed. The room was prettily decor- ated with blue and white, and the ladies of the A, Y. P. A. were dressed in white, with blue sashes. Our Wornen's Shoes for Fail and Winter Wear are very handsome.

This week we have to report the sad death of Mr, Richard Leishman, for over half a century a respected resi- dent of East Wawanosh, For the past year he had been in failing health from nervous of 'v t o trouble, stoube c and n Friday itd< morning last he went with one of his daughters to a back field for the cows. He stepped. aside to a small group of trees, but nothing was thought of that at the time. As he did not return, search was made, and he was found lying on his face in a shallow pool of water, with life entirely extinct. Mr. Leishman was highly respected, and his long residence in the township and his kindly character had made him many friends. Ile was a member of Trinity Church, Belgrave, a strong Conservative, and ex -deputy County Master of North Huron L. O. L. De- ceased was born in Scotland, October 10th, 1843, and was therefore in his O4tl1 year. He came to Canada with his parents when nine years of age, in 1852, and two years later (18:4) the family settled in East Wawanosh. In 1869 Ise was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Nethery, who survives him, Eleven children were the frnit of the union, eight daughters and three sons; of the latter, one is dear.. Tho other sons are --Alex, M. on the homestead, and Henry of Hanley, Sask. The daughters are—Mrs. Jas. Mains, Mrs. Albert Mains and Mrs, Charles Whit- man, all of Arcola, Man., Mrs. John Armstrong of Belgrave, Mrs. James Dow of East Wawanosh, and three at home, Misses Celia, Emma and Olive. The funeral took place on Sunday to Mcerae's cemetery, Belgr:ave. The very large attendance from every di- rection was . ovideneo of the respect entertained for the deceased, and the sympathy felt for the bereaved family.

A few good Bibles and Hymn Books, slightly shelf worn, at bar- gains. --Saunders, Jubilee Services, The Jubilee of the Diocese of Huron was fittingly celebrated at London on Tuesday by an impressive service of thanksgiving. The service was ren- dered in a very sotemn manner by the combined choirs of London, Two hundred clergy were present and as many laymen from all parts of wes- tern Ontario as from London. Six Bishops were present, among them the most distinguished being the noted Bishop of London, England, who preached the sermon. Dr, In - gram's address created a deep impres- sion. It was simple and direct, but tremendously earnest and practical. "With men it is impossible, but with God alI things are possible." A lun- cheon was served, after the service, in Cronyn Hall, and again the Bishop's words were the absorbing feature, Altogether the functions of the day were a most appropriate commemora- tion of the fiftieth year of the Diocese. Those who attended the Jubilee in London on Tuesday from Wingham were—Messrs. R. Knox, Geo. Tees, 0, J. Hollister, John Nethery, Mr. and Mrs. Burns, and Rev. T. S, and Mrs, Boyle.

The new steamer, Lusitania, which made the record trip across the Atlan- tic in five days, last week, is a won- der. For the sake of the boys and girls of Wingham, we give a few figures as to her size. The Lusitania is as long as from the corner of Jose- phine and Victoria street (the Kent Block) to G. C. Hanna's "Little Eaton," and so wide that she would more than fill the street from the buildings on one side to those on the other ; in fact she would not nearly go in between them. Her engines are of 08,000 horse power, and it takes 192 furnaces to keep up the steam. Four funnels carry off the smoke ; each fun- nel is 24 feet across, and 155 feet high ; you could easily drive a span of horses and big load of hay through either of these funnels. She carries 7,000 tons of coal and it takes 900 of a crew to manage her on a voyage. Besides, she can carry 550 first-class passen- gers, 500 second-class, and 1,300 third- class, besides baggage for all these, provisions, etc. That means that be- sides her crew, she could carry every man, woman and child in Wingham, at one trip. What do you think of such a monster steamer as that, boys? New idea in ten cent Post Cards at Saunders'. WANTED.—Good smart boy to de- liver goods.—D. M. Gordon. The Numbers increase. If any proof is required of the popu- larity of Wingham High School in the surrounding country, it may be easily seen in the very large attendance. When the School was first suggested it was thought that an attendance of 75 to 90 would be abundant evidence of the success of the enterprise, and the need existing for such an institu- tion. Now, with the building occu- pied Iess than nine months, the atten- dance has increased to 107. These are distributed thus :—Senior Leaving, 21; Junior Leaving, 49 ; Form II, 44 ; Form I, 53. Of the 107 in attendance, about 88 aro town pupils, about 23 live near and conte in every school morn- ing. The rest, 50 out-of-town pupils, hoard in town and pay from $2.50 to $3.00 a week for hoard. Take the smaller amount as an average, and that means that $140 per week is paid for board by out-of-town pupils. Be- sides, there is the very largely in- creased demand for school books and supplies. Thea it must not be forgot- ten that pupils pay fees, running from $0 to $10 each, according to the form. Notwithstanding these facts, some will declare that Winghatu tax -payers are educating other people's children. We cannot sce it in that light. Bring your Butter and Eggs to G. E. King's.

Higgins, Turnberry, was the scene of an interesting event on Wednesday, 18th inst., when their daughter, Miss Minnie, became the bride of Mr. Wm. Gallagher of Howick, The ceremony was performed under an arch of ferns and stnilax, in a pretty marquee erect- ed on the lawn. Mendeissohn's Wed - din March was played byMiss Hazel Brandon, and then Mr. C. Baer sang as a solo, words from Wagner's Loh- engrin's wedding chorus, to music composed by Mr. Baer. Rev. W. (x. Howson performed the ceremony, as- sisted by Rev. A. Russell of Wroxeter and Rev. Sanderson of Detroit, uncle of the groom. During the signing of the register, Mr. 0. Baer sang "Oh Island Dreams." The bride was dress- ed in 1 ory Oriental satin, trimmed with French Valenciennes lace and Brussels net, and carried a bouquet of roses. Lawrence G. Lennox, nephew of the bride, dressed in cream serge, carried the ring upon a Bible, and the bride's cousin, Alletta Higgins, dressed in white silk, bore a basket of flowers. Misses Della Haugh' and Evelyn Eng - hind, dressed in Persian lawn and bearing bouquets of sweet peas, per- formed the duties of door attendants. The happy couple left on the8,30 train for London, Saginaw and Bay City. On their return they wilt reside at Hillside farm, Iiowiek, whero the bride will be at home after I)ee. 1st.
