Others The Same As You.
Tom Davidson, jr.
If your way is rough and thorny,
And your path is hard and long,
Fortune seers to frown upon you.
Things are always going wrong;
When trouble seems to always follow, -
Still I think it's often true,
Your lot may seem a hard one,
But there's others the same as you.
When the others seem to prosper
And you're left away behind,
Perhaps you cannot understand it -
Still I think that you will find
Bach ono has his many troubles
Many worry as you do,
Though your lot may be a hard one,
Yet there's others the same as you.
When the sky is clark above you
And. the rain is pouring down,
All around is cold and .dreary
And the world seems then to frown;
Always try to look above you,
Take a broader, deeper view,
Don't bewail your lot unhappy,
When there's others the sante as you.

Bad News,
Last week, Wm. Deyell received
word of the death of his brother,
David, of Campbellford, who died sud-
denly at the age of 44. He was well
known in Winghain, having worked
in Bell's factory. Deceased leaves a
widow and one child.
Football.
Wingham and. Listowel played. a
League game of football on the
grounds of the Listowel team on Fri-
day evening last. Neither team
scored. On the same evening Brussels
played at Atwood. with the team of
that village, winning the game 4 to 0.
This gives Brussels tho championship
of the district.
Weather Probabilities.
Divested of astronomical technicali-
ties, Rev. Jil. R. Hicks' weather pre-
dictions for June seem to indicate that
there will be a number of June brides
on whom the sun will not shine.
There seems to be little promise of
fair weather for any length of time at
any time during June. From the 3rd
to the 5th, from the 7th to the 12th,
and 14th to the 17th Allow pretty con-
tinuous unsettled weather. The lat-
ter date, says the prophet, is a time
when haymakers will be under con-
straint in harvesting their crops.
Electrical unrest will continue from
26th to 28th.
Standard Apple Box,
Fruit growers and box makers
should bear in mind the amendment
to the Act regulating the size of fruit
packages recently passed, legalizing
a minimum standard box. This box
has a minimum size of 10x11x20 inches,
inside measurement. There is no
specification as to the thickness of the
material, other than that it should be
strong and seasoned. wood. It is re-
commended, however, that the ends
should be at least five-eighths of an
inch thick, and the sides at least three-
eighths of an inch thick, and there
should be no objectionable odor to the
wood. There are no specifications as
to what grade of fruit shall be packed
in boxes. The market reports, how-
ever, would discourage the shipment
in boxes of anything but apples of the
very highest grade; the rest of the
fruit can be more economically shipped
in barrels.
June Wedding.
The marriage of Miss Ethel L. Wade
and Mr. Charles Sherman Day took
place at the home of the bride's par-
ents on Alfred St., Thursday, June 1st
at high noon, The ceremony was
performed by Rev. E. J. Stobo, Jr., E.
A., B. D., of Mount Forest, and the
wedding music was played by Misses
Lillian and. Laura Kerr, cousins of the
bride. The bride, who was given
away by her cousin, Mr. Oliver of To-
ronto, looked very pretty in cream
cord-de-soie with trimmings of ruch-
ing and aecordeon-plaited chiffon.
She carried a shower bouquet of bride
roses and ferns. The bridesmaid, Miss
Jean Mull:fah, wore cream erepoline
trimmed with Brussels net and satin
ribbon, She carried a bouquet of
cream roses and white carnations.
Mr. C. 3. Maguire assisted as best
man. The decorations wore very
pretty, the bridal party standing be-
neath a white canopy which was deco-
rated with ferns arid flowers. The
brides going -away gown was of brown
lady's cloth and she wore a black pic-
turesque hat. The presents consisted
of many beautiful tokens of esteem
from friends of the bride and groom.
The groom's gift to the bride was a
gold crescent brooch with pearl set-
tings, and his gift to the bridesmaid
was a gold locket with pearl settings.
Mr. and Mrs. Day left on the after-
noon train for a trip to Providence, R.
L, and other eastern cities.

Why He. Saw Him
Some years ago Phillips Brooks was
recovering from an illness, and was
denying himself to all visitors, when
Robt. Ingersoll called. The Bishop
received him at once. "I appreciate
this very mach," said Mr. Ingersoll,
"but why do you see me when you
deny yourself to your friends ?" "It is
this way," said the bishop; "I feel con-
fident of seeing my friends in the next
world, but this may be my last chance
of seeing you.
From Willow River.
The Advance has a letter from Mr.
F. Shore of Willow River, Minnesota,
(formerly of Wingham). He reports
the weekly visits of the Advance most
welcome. He says --"Life in the west
is a strenuous one ; on the go all the
time, but still we take time to think
of Wingham and Wingham friends."
Mr. Shore also reports the arrival of
a baby girl at their home on May 16th.
Under these joyful circumstances, the
Advance pardons the brief note, and
awaits the longer letter yet to come,
patiently.

By Elections.
Two Dominion elections will be held
next Tuesday -North Oxford, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death of
the late James Sutherland, and Lon-
don, made vacant by the appointment
of Mr. Hyman, M. P., as Minister of
Public works. At the last election
Mr. Hyman's majority was very small
(23). In North Oxford. the Liberal inae
jority is about 1,500. In both ridings
a very lively campaign is being wag-
ed, and reports are somewhat amus-
ing and contradictory. For instance
Saturday's Toronto News had for dis-
play heading -"Old Liberals waver-
ing," while the Toronto Star with dis-
play announced-"Libends United in
North Oxford." Depends on the
standpoint from which the situation is
viewed. The Autonomy Bill appears
to be the chief issue.
Wingham Defeats Listowel.
The first game in District No. 2 of
the 0. L. A. junior series was played
on the park last Thursday eveuing be-
tween Listowel and the local Maple
Leafs. The gauze was too one-sided
to be interesting, and although the
visitors put tip some good combina-
tion at times, they were never danger -
vie. Shot after shot was made on
the Listowel net, although only six
found their way in, leaving the score
0-0 in favor of the Maple Leafs at the
end of an hour's playing. The work
of the referee, W. Ellis of Mount Pos-
ed, was the best ever seen on the loeal
field. Ile refereed to the entire satis-
faction of both teams, and his ridings
were highly appreciated by the spec-
tators. As a referee, be will bo a
warm favorite here, in future games.
To -day (Thursday) thc Maple Leafs go
to Kincardine, and a keenly -contested
game is almost Wire, as the lakeside
boys are noted for putting tip a fair
sample of the national game. 13y the
gait t11010Pal UAW struck last Thin's-
-day in their gam with Listowel, there
should not be any aoubt about their
winning the district.

Toronto reports important changes
around G. T. R. offices. Among the
probabilities we note the rumored pro-
motion of J. H. Gordon of London
(formerly G. T. R. agent in Wingham)
to the position of Freight agent in
Ontario's capital. Mr. Gordon has
filled a very responsible position in
London satisfactorily and his promo-
tion will be the reward of ability and
faithfulness.
E. A. Hardy's Visit.
An event of interest to all Sunday
School workers will be the visit of Mr.
E. A. Hardy to Wingham next Mon-
day evening, when he will address
those who assemble in the lecture -
room of the Methodist church. Mr.
Hardy is the Provincial Training Tea-
cher, and should be able to give infor-
mation of value to teachers, and also
arouse greater interest in Sunday
School work generally.

Facts Por Parents, Young Men, Young
Women, To Ponder Over.
A knowledge of Shorthand and
Typewriting is an equipment for suc-
cess in life. As an investment, it pays
a dividend every day in the year. Ex-
perience, facts and figures prove this.
During the year 1904, one of the lead-
ing typewriter manufacturing firms
placed 17,000 stenographers in posi-
tions in eight cities iu the United
States alone, at salaries aggregating
$10,789,158.00 The same firm were
obliged to refuse some 3000 calls for
stenographers, in seven cities alone.
because the supply did not meet the
demand. These are facts that can he
proven. The growing demand. for
lady stenographers by business and
professional men, is evidence of their
success in this line of work. The work
is pleasant, the associations desirable
and. the salary good. Parents, young
men, young women, wake up to the
fact that a knowledge of Shorthand
and Typewriting pays a dividend
every day in the year. As an invest-
ment his better than a gold bond.

LEGE teaches Gregg Shorthand and
