Catchin' cold an' gettin' well:
That's 'bout all there is to tell
Of this life, it seems to me,
All the way from A to Z.
Some one asks you "How d'ye do?"
An' you've only got jes' two
Answers, if the truth is told-
"Gettin' well," or "catchin' cold."
When your throat is feelin' sore,
An' your head begins to roar,
Then you know that if you wait
Patiently, you'll feel first rate.
An' you know, when free from pain
You'll be catchin' cold again.
¶That'e'bout all there is to tell-
Catchin' cold an' gettin' well.

Kind Words from Exchanges
The editor of the TIMES returns his
he arty thanks to the editors of exchanges
for the following : --Last week the Wing -
ham Times entered its thirty-third year.
For nearly seven years, the present pro-
prietor, Mr. H. B. Elliott, has success-
fully controlled its interests, and im-
provements have been made in the plant
and the paper itself. The Advance wishes
the Times continued success, and its
editor many years of successful business
career.-Wingham Advance.
The Wingham Times, the exponent
of Liberalism in that town, entered upon
its 33rd year as a newspaper last week,
and it has been six and a half years
under the management of the present
proprietor. H. B. Elliott, the able pro-
prietor, started as a "printer's devil" in
the same office some sixteen years ago.
The paper speaks for itself, having made
steady upward progress, and having been
enlarged twice during the past few
years. -Clinton New Era.
The Wingham Times has entered upon
its 33rd year of successful nowepaperdom
in that town with the present editor on
his seventh year at the helm. The Times
is one of our newsiest exchanges and we
extend to Brer. Elliott our hope for
future success.•---Gorrie Vidette.
The novel spectacle 6f a steamer be-
ing stoked with bank notes was once
witnessed at a Mediterranean a port.
Forty-five sacks of the apparently vain-
abie paper were tossed into the furnace
of the vessel's boiler. The notes were
cancelled documents of the Bank of Al-
giers.

TURN BER li.
A very pleasant time was spent at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Bryce one
evening last week, when the members of
the family anti a few friends gathered
to spend the evening in social enjoy-
ment, it being the anniversary of Mr.
Bryce's 00th birthday. The members of
the family felt they could not let the
day pass without leaving something
tangible to show their parents their ap-
preciation and that they had not for-
gotten that time was passing swiftly.
Notwithstanding their three score years,
Mr. and Mrs. Bryce are still hale and
hearty. A very suitable address was
read and a pair of handsome chairs pre-
sented to father and mother which came
as quite a surprise as birthdays are al-
most lost to remembrance by the elderly
people of today. Mr. Bryce was so
taken by surprise that he could scarcely
reply, but in touching words he thanked
the family and hoped they would long
be spared to meet in an unbroken circle
around the parental fireside.
The Snowfall in Ontario.
The Government observatory report
shows that the snowfall in Ontario this
season has been exceptionally heavy.
Statistics for January are not given, but
the following are scene of the figures up
to the end of December.
At Stratford the average for a number
of years during November and Decem-
ber has been 22 inches; in 1903 it was 32
inches. At Listowel the average has
been 23 inches, but during December
last it fell every day for 26 days, from
the 5th to the 31st. The local representa-
tive, therefore, "got tired counting," as
the observatory official expressed it.
At London the average has been 22
inches ; in December last the fall was 26
inches. In the peninsula to' the north
the fall was considerably heavier during
December, running as high as 50, 60 or
70 inches. The heaviest fall reported
was at Bocklyu in Grey county, where
no less than 107 inches was recorded in
December.
JAMESTOWN.
Mrs. James Simpson is not as well as
her many friends would wish to see.
We hope a speedy recovery will rapidly
follow, however.
Mr. William Fralick is very poorly at
present and his recovery is hardly poss-
ible.
Mr. Paul of Brussels will take charge
of the services in Jamestown, next Sun-
day night.
Our roads appear to be so deeply clad
in their winter raiment that lone could
scarcely imagine, that they ever admit-
ted the fleet-footq(l cyclist, or the top -
buggies to travel peacefully upon them.
Let us hope for better times, however.
A.CLERGTMAN'S 9i'PEAL.
The Rev, W. F. Brownlee, Ridgetown,
Anglican minister, has written the fol-
lowing letter to the Muskoka Free Hospi-
tal for Consumptives :-
Dear Sir, -I fell in with a case to -day
in my parish, a young woman very ill
with consumption. and I promised I
would write you regarding her entrance
into the hospital for consumptives in
Muskoka. The case is one of great noces-
sity and charity. The applicant is about
18 years of age. She is practically with-
out a home, stayingat present with a
relative. She is brigt and amiabie,and
would like to live. - As I understand, you
reject none on account of poverty. I
commend the case to you as one most
needy, and if you can send me instruc-
tions or papers for application to the
hospital, I will see to raising necessary
means for her transportation and have
her sent at once, as Iimagine she is not
beyond receiving benefit.
[Note by Editor. -Sir Wm. R. Mere-
dith, Kt., Vice -President of the National
Sanitarium Association, or Mr. -W. 3.
Gage, Chairman of the Executive Com-
mittee, Toronto, will gladly receive con-
tributions for this and several other
equally piteous cases calling for help.]
RESTLESS AND CROSS.
When infants or young children are
restless and cross or peevish it is a very
certain sign that they are not well The
mother may not know just what the
trouble is. but she can depend upon it
the trouble exists. Give the little one
Baby's Own Tablets see how promptly
it will be changed into a happy,'smiling,
good natured child. The little one will
sleep soundly and naturally and the
mother will also obtain her much needed
rest. Here is the proof given by Mrs.
John E. Ramsay, Port Hill, P. E. I., who
says: -"My baby was cross, restless and
did not sleep well, but after giving him
Baby's Own Tablets he became better
natured, sleeps well and is growing fine-
ly. The Tablets have been a great bless-
ing to both baby and myself."
The Tablets are a prompt and certain
euro for such troubles as indigestion,
sour stomach, colic, constipation, diar-
rhoea, simple fevers and other minor ail-
ments. They always do good and can-
not possibly harm the most delicate child,
Yon can get the Tablets from any medi-
cine dealer, of they will be sent by mail
at 25 cents a box by writing to The Dr.
Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.
