The coroner's jury in the case of the sudden death of Miss Cook of Gode- rich, while visiting at Seaforth, de- cided :—That Myrtle Cook came to her death on June 22nd by strychnine administered by herself. The jury also recommended.—"That owing to the easy manner of obtaining poisonous drugs from druggists at present in vogue under the Pharmacy Act of 1881 for Ontario governing the sale of poison, your jurors strongly re- commend that the law be so enacted as to make it compulsory for the pur- chaser of poison to be accompanied by two reputable witnesses known to the druggist, and so registered in a book kept for the purpose when purchasing virulent poisons, and that copies of this recommendation be forwarded to Sir Jatites Whitney, of Oatario, and to Wm. Proudfoot, M. P. P. for Cen- tre $ttron. A LAWYER'S PEE. A story is told at the expense of a well-knowct eolicitot', A man named kipith had failed in business and solei out, and having two or three tough little bills, had, given these to the lawyer to collect, Smith went to the office to receive the proceeds, which amounted to only about fifty dollars. "I am sorry you /ave been so un- fortunate, Smith," said the lawyer, "for T had taken a great interest iu you. I sha'u't charge you so much as I should if I did not take an interest in you," Here he handed Smith fifteen dol- lare, and kept the balance. "You see, Smith, I knew you when you wero a boy, and I knew your father before you, and I take a good deal of interest in you. Good morn- ing 1 Come and see me again 1" Snaith, moving slowly out of the door, and ruefully contemplating the fifteen dollars, was heard to mutter -- "Thank goodness—you didn't know nay grandmother !" It Paid Him. The following reported from St. Ca- tharines shows how some men have the knack of turning misfortune into profit. Arthur Kimell from up coun- try, owns a high power motor car. Last week, he was out driving in the country. Be knocked over a cow and killed her. The farmer appeared. "You'll have to settle for the animal," he said and demanded $75, Kimell made out a check, "Help me load. her into the car," be said to the farmer. Then he drove into the city and sold the carcase just as it was for $85 00, clearing $10.00 on the deal. The Canadian Highway. A book which is sornewhat dif- ferent has just reached the office of the Advance, This is a publication issued by the Canadian Highway As- sociation, and deals in a interesting way with the work accomplished by that body_ since its organization on November 3 and 4, 1911. It contains an interesting mass of valuable in- formatiou coucerning roads, and road conditions, in different parts of Cana- da, but more particularly British Columbia. The book is splendidly' illustrated with photographs of road scenes and of scenes at the planting of the first post on the west coast of Vancouver Inland. Photogravures of President W, J. Kerr and his fellow officers add a personal touch to the work. The mission of "The Canadian Highway" is to educate the public to the advantages of good roads ar d anyone interested in this work may obtain a copy by addressing Secretary P. W. Luce, New Westminster, B. C. Illustration Farms. The Committee on Lands of the Commission of Conservation, of which Dr. Robertson is Chairman, has in- troduced asystem of Illustration Farine throughout Canada with a view to demonstrating locally the great advantages of a proper sya tent. This work was undertaken because the agricultural survey conducted my the Oomntisslon for the past two years on one hundred average farms in each of the provineee, showed tinmistaa.ka ,bly that the farmers were not getting from their land all that they should. The illustration farms, +situated in every Province of Canada, are not the property of the Coainaission. The plan is to select an average farm iu a given loctt.lity whose owner agrees he be guided by the advice of the agri- cultural ekpeyrts provided by the Commission and make it an illustra- tion centre foe the neighborhood where the surrounding farmers cat( nteet and receive practical instruction. Irl this way It is hoped, that the farm= era can be led to see Hutt they earl produce larger+ crops with the means within their gerief>, The object of this wotk le to bring about better farming, better buelneee and better living.

A country doctor, returning from a visit in the small hours of the morn- ing, in the time of the body snatchers, had to pass a secluded burial ground, in which a deceased patient had been interred the day before. When he reached the wall he saw a horse and cab standing unattended on the road outside. Looking cautiously over the wall he saw that two men had just disinterred the corpse. Standing in the shadow of the wall, he sate them bring the body and place it in a sit- ting tosition on the seat of the cab, so that, when they drove away, the body which they had wrapped in a dark cloak would in n dim light look like a third man, sitting between the other two, Then they got over the wail nein to 1111 in the grave. The doctor lifted the body down from the cab, laid ib near the wall and seated himself in its place, After a short time the two rn, n got over the wall again, threw their spades into the back of the cab, seated themselves one on each side of him, and drove off. Presently one of the men said to the other ---"the body seems to be warm still." The other replied :—"So it is." Then the corpse said, "Warm ! And if you had been where I have been for the past twenty-four hours you would be warm too 1" The two men leaped with a yell out of the cab at Opposite sides and ran for their tures.

Boomerang of Ret. ribtttian By CLARI$SA MACKIE ,au�.i�.l.µla.�..lM� !,..iM.��}.;..�Ni�.i/N�.....l..�NI..,.•3a "I don't see why you don't rent your house, Agatha," insisted her Cousin Phoebe, "You're always wishing you could add to your income so's not to go out sewing every day. If you'd only rent your west wing to some nice old lady --like old Mrs. Pederman-- you'd be as independent as you please," She smiled placidly upon Agatha's dis- approving countenance. "1 don't want to rent my west wing to old Mrs, Pederman," retorted ,Agatha spiritedly. "She'd never give me a moment's peace of mind with her borrowing and snooping around my rooms and then running off to gossip about it to every Tom. Dick and Har- ty in Little River." ° "Softy toityl" ejaculated Phoebe, shaken out of her customary calm- ness. "You might remember that old Mrs. Pederman is my husband's 'moth- er's only sister and" -- "I don't see how I could help re- membering it, Phoebe," said Agatha wearily. "You certainly haven't given me much peace of the house since fa- ther died. If you want me to take Mrs. Federman to live with me why don't you come out and say so?" "It ain't nothing to me," retorted Phoebe warmly. "My house is big enough to hold all my husband's moth. er's sisters and their husbands and cousins and their aunts." "I'm glad you feel so amiable about it" said Agatha calmly. "Now, you can understand for good and all, Phoe- be West, that I don't want any strain. gers in my house." "Suppose somebody should nsk me about it," persisted Mrs. West, who "TELL ALE 'TEAT I CAN Do, MISS moonier was persevering in small matters. "What shall I tell 'em?" "You can tell 'ern It's rented." "But it isn't." "Yes, 'tis." Agatha's voice was as obstinate as Phoebe's now. "Rented from the first of the month?" Agatha bowed ber bead. "Who to?" demanded Phoebe Incred- ulously. "You will know in good time," re- turned Agatha, with an exasperating smile of mystery when one considered that the idea of the tenant bad sud- denly popped into her head, Now, her cousin, Phoebe West, would leave her alone for awhile. So thought Agatha Moore, but she reckoned not with Phoebe. The very hint of a mysterious tenant who would occupy Agatha's west wing was a tempting appetizer for the curiosity of the plump, rosy cheeked cousin. "I'11 bet I can guess!" cried Phoebe triumphantly. "There ain't runny folks but what I know something of their plans, and ---you needn't smile, Agatha Moore; I'll just guess a few names." Phoebe proceeded to "guess" whom Agatha's tenant might be. She guess- ed the new dentist, the lady book can- vesser who had been stopping at the hotel, the now milliner who had open- ed a little shop in ttie village; she guessed all the antiquated and home- less people in the 'village, and still Agatha smiled and shook her brown head. 'Then Mrs. West confessed her- self baffled. "I know It couldn't be that Mr. Fen - low who has charge of the building of the new church, because he wouldn't want to live In your little nieachIn' rooms," ended Phoebe, at last breath- lessly spiteful. "You needn't be too sure," said Agatha, with coloring cheeks. Phoebe shrieked in amazement. "Agatha Moore, you've never rented that west wing to a handsome bache- lor like Mr, 1 eniou►." "He isn't very handsome," everted Agatha, moving toward the door. "That doesn't ranks it any more prop- er. 1 deelare I shall tell Jabez." belt sobbed Phoebe, telco, like many good gossips, possessed a keen sense of the cone entianallt les. "Do telt hits if It will relieve your mind," advised Agatha rattier flip- pantly, and she pulled on her floppy pink sunbonnet rind went out of the gate and toward her own home. When she was under the shade of the 11 11I h•M•p it Maples on her oink front lawn all the eat color left her cheeks and gave place to pale dismay. Of course rho* bo would run hither and thither about the- 'Villa$e and relate the aseandaloua faet that her queer Cousin Agatha Moore had refused to rent the west wing of her big !mese to anybody iu the village, but had leased it tor any length of time up to twenty years tAo would run the story) to Mr. F'enlow, the tali, good looking num who had charge of the building of the new stone church near the river, Mr, V'enlow had been staying at tho hotel, but it had been rumored that be was dl084tl$fled a and desired to make a change. Agatha Moore had seen him once or tt*ice and had never spoken to him in her life. Indeed, so casual had been her glances at him that she hardly knew just how he looked. Now she felt terror stricken to think that she had involved a perfectly harmless sand strange man in some of Cousin Phoe be's gossip. Of course it was Agatha's fault. She bad no busieess to try to jest with Mrs. West. Phoebe had ne sense of humor. It was not until after supper that Agatha decided to run over to Phoebe's and confess that she had been joking about the new tenant for the west wing and thus nip In the bud any gos- sip tbat Phoebe's busy tongue might propagate. Alas, it was too late! The mischief had already been done. On tier way to Phoebe West's Agatha met several neighbors, and each one was thorough- ly informed concerning the uew ten- ant who was coming to occupy the west wing of Agatha's big house. "Where's he going th get his meals?" asked one. "Cools 'em himself for all 1 know," snapped Agatha impatiently as she faced about home, and thus she added another bit of fuel to the flame of gos- sip. "I wonder what 1 ought to do," mus- ed Agatha three days later as she wandered distractedly around her lit- tle garden. It lacked two days of the first of the month, and her molehill of a joke bed developed into a nxouutaln of incontrovertible fact. People watched daily to see if Aga. the's new tenant had arrived to take possession of the west wing, and Phoe. be 'West had made a last and desper' ate effort to induce Agatha to take old Mrs. Pederson into her house as a chaperon. "A woman of my age doesn't need a chaperon," retorted Agatha, hastening away. She avoided Phoebe nowadays. On the day before the first Agatha found courage born of desperation and wrote a Iittle note to Simeon Fenlow. She asked him to call "on important business," explained her prim little note. That evening, the eve of the first, Simeon Fenlow called upon Agatha Moore. Agatha almost swooned with agitation, as she unfolded her iniquity to the big, broad shouldered man whose voice boomed like the waves op the beach whehever he spoke. Simeon Fenlow watched her keenly' as she re- lated the story of her innocent joke upon gossiping Phoebe West and bow,' the joke had become a boomerang of retribution. Agatba was too much excited to notice how interested he was or to realize that he was a very handsome man with keen hazel eyes and Iron gray hair and that the bezel eyes grew very humorous and tender as the penitent little woman shed tears over tier recital and rutted her brown hair with her little hands and grew pinker and pinker with mortification at her own folly. When she had ended Simeon feenlow threw back his head arid laughed such a hearty roar that Agatha was fain to Join in after awhile, and In tier tears of mirth the bitterness of the last few days was washed away. "Now tell me what I can do, Miss Moore," he saki after awlelle. "I was wondering it you wouldn't come and be my tenant for a few days, just to carry out the idea. Yoe needn't pay anything, you know, and if you would Just say that yon didn't like it or soanething of taint sort people would anderstrinct. i don't suppose £ ought to ask such a thing of you, though." "1 don't know why," bristled Mr. • V'enlow. "Why can't I have the crest wing really and truly, Miss Moore? ' There's my dear old mother pining awes' for ane at home, while I'm nailed down here on this job. It would be mighty nice for ns to have your west "ring for a few months. What do you gay? I'd rather be your real tenant A Fine Garden. Three years ago, fir. Wattson of the city of Ottawa carte into possession df a little garden, only 50 x 33 feet, and at that time nothing but a swamp. He lute made It a thing of beauty and usefulness. At first sight it is impos- sible to believe that the garden in which not a square inch is wasted, call contain so many different things. There are tomatoes, sweet corn, peas, beans, beets, parsnips, turnips, warn.. than a borrowed one." What could Agatha say? One evening the gossips of the town were startled at the report that Mr. Fenlow had been seen to drive up In a carriage to Agatha's house and hand out n white haired old lady, who went In, and a little tater an express wagon followed with some trunks that were carried upstairs. And just before the occirpnnt of the west .wing reeked it there was stn• other report more startling still. It eras that Mr. Irenlow and Agatha were engaged. And It was true. When Agntha Moore and Simeon 4 Fenlow were mai ries the following stirtng btune Gosslh was still 'alert. "First time I ever suspected Agatha of being after tt husband," commented Phoebe West to Jabez the night of the wedding, "NTIIS when she refused to rent her west wing to your Mother's sister, Matta Pederson, and turned around and rented It to that httndsotne Flenlow man and his mother.
