The enpl oynlent of whiskey detectives
by Hon. Mr. Hanua to entrap hotelmen
into committals; breaches of the license
law will be condemned by most right-
thinking people Enticing men to break
the law by imposing on them to sell
liquor out of hours is no more defensive
than encouraging people to steal with
the object of having them arrested and
punished It is not British fair play,
and British communities will not sup-
port such contemptible tricks, even
though brought about by the Govern-
ment —Hamilton Times.
Tor into Setnrday Night says: "Mr.
Borden has had, np to date, abont as
much chance of carrying Canada as
Edward Blake had of winning the coun-
try away from its adherence to Sir John
Macdonald. Everybody knows this, in -
clueing Mr. Borden. Catch any man
alone, get his honest opinion, and it will
be that the Opposition has no prospect
whatever of returning to office during
Sir Wiifrid Laurier's day. He has a
nearly solid Qaebec at his back, a solid
Nova Scotia, and in the other provinces
the advantage that the pressure of pow-
er gives him He always has men work-
ing in bis shop who know how to turn
the pressure on. Only excitable and in-
sincere persons talk of defeating him, as 1
if it could be done off -hand."
Weather Thoughts.
Pack
The weather's badly mixed, alas!—
A little while it snows.
And then across the whitened grass
The balmy zephyr blows.
While rich the rose tree's gemmed with
bods,
The north's wild rat -tat -tat
Right off the clothesline rips the duds,
And off the fence the cat.
We hear the snow bird blithely cheep,
And then the blue bird coos;
Then from our duster swift we leap
To don oar overshoes.
But all these harsh things are as naught,
Because each alternates
With one that makes us rapture fraught
While laughing at the fates.
The which, fromlondly-shrieking storm,
Light-footed trips awhirl,
A fantasy of grace and form—
The dreamy summer girl.
The Cough is
Your Warning!
THE cough is the warning that
bids you guard the lungs.
Once the cough gets dry and
tight, once it hurts to cough, once !
there is soreness in the chest and
lungs, danger is near and the ail-
ment serious.
Remember that pneumonia, con-
sumption and other lung troubles are
always the result of neglected colds.
Dr. Chase's Syrup of Linseed and
Turpentine has won its place as u'
leader in the front rank of throat!
and lung treatments because it can
he relied on to prevent and cure
serious disease
WHAT THE MASTER FOUND.
By Robert J, Burdette.
The night was shading the landscai e
with winter twilight when the man en,
tered this town, He was no common
man and was bent upon no ordinary
mission. An empire was to be over-
thrown and upon its ruins a new king-
dom established It was an enterpriza
environed with peril. Already it had
cost precious lives and priceless fort-
unes.
The man bore himself as one who
journeys through a hostile country
knowing that his enemies swarmed a-
bout him, vigilant, fearless, powerful.
He took from his breat a little book and
glanced at the list of names written
therein.
"I have in this community," he said;
"a band of five hundred friends, who
have vowed ever to be loyal to me, faith-
ful to my cause. They know that it is
in danger. This is the night of their
own appointment for meeting me, that I
may instruct and encourage and streng-
then them."
The deep tone of the bell broke upon
the air. "It is the signal for their gath-
ering," said the man, and hastened for-
ward. Soon he paused before a Large
building which, save for one dimly light-
ed room in the rear of the basement,
was empty and silent. A man, evident-
ly on guard, stood near the door. He
started as the stranger saluted him.
"I am expecting to meet some friends
litre to night."
The janitor looked suspiciously at
him.
"You'll have to wait then," he said
presently. "There won't be anybody
around here for half an hour yet."
"Yon are a member of the band that
assembles here?"
"Um," replied the janitor.
"Is there great zeal among the breth•
ren of the fraternity? Are you united,
loyal, eager, aggressive?"
"Well," replied the janitor cautiously,
"Things are a little quiet with as just at
present. Times are hard; and there's
a good deal of opposition. We had a
great many things to discourage no.
Maybe in a couple of months we may
get some outside help and shake things
np a little; but we don't feel justified in
making any effort right now. Will you
walk in?"
The stranger entered the room indi-
cated by a sweep of the janitor's hand.
Presently and old woman came in,
glanced timidly about her, and sat down
as far away from the stranger as she
could get. By and by came two women.
Then a bevy of yonug girls flattered in,
sat flown, bent their( head together for a
convulsive giggle and lapsed into silence.
A lame man limped to a seat behind the
stone. After a while, a group of women
rustled in, one of them leading a reluct-
ant boy. A tired -looking man, in
laborer's garb, sunk wearily into a seat
apart from the rest. After a long inter-
val there entered a man if black, who
stealthily tip -toed his way to a seat be-
hind the others. Others came dropping
in, until twenty-three people were as-
sembled in, or rather scattered through
the room. They were evidently there
in peril of their lives. Everything dis-
closed a scene of half -restrained fear.
The repeated glances at the clock; the
painfnl intenseness with which the list-
ened to every approaching footfall un-
til it passed; the quickness with which
all eyes were turned toward the door as
often as it was opened deepening the im-
pression that this was an unlawful as-
sembly.
The stranger softly passed out no one
barring his way. Glancing at his book
by the windshaken light of the street
lamps, he went searching for his absent
friends. Three of them he found on the
street corner, discussing the political
i probleme of the Government under
which they lived. Seven men he found
in a slab -room, reading chatting, smok-
ing. A score be found at public enter-
tainments; a few at their places of busi-
ness, lying in wait for belated customers;
a half-dozen at a progessive euchre
party. Some were in a neighbor's house
whiling away the hoar by social inter-
course. Many were at home, some to
tired to go ont, because they had been
ont all day and were planning to go out
again to -morrow, and some doing noth-
ing and wearily tired of it. A few were
sick; a few were ministering to them.
Some were curing convenient headaches
by reading the latest novels. So in the
oourse of the evening the band of five
hundred was accounted for. Twenty-
three at the rendezvous—four honndred
and seventy-seven here, there, and else-
where; dowdling, sleeping—a discour-
aging ontlook for a straggling revolu-
tion.
"And what is all this ancient history?"
yon aak.
Croup, bronchitis, whooping
cough, asthma, pneumonia, coughs,
colds and throat troubles promptly
cured by Dr. Chases Syrup of Lin- p t
seed and Turpentine as is evidenced
by many of the best people in the
land.

l`orDC'atttl'e, 25 cents A bottle.
Oh, nothing much. And not so very
ancient either. Only Jesus Christ
dropped in at a recent prayer meeting in
your church. That was all. And where
did he find you?—Bel.

The entertainment held in the For-
esters' hall on the evening of tree 18th
inst , under the auspices of the R T. of
T., was well attended The hall was
comfortably seated, about 160 persons
being present. The Rev, J A Aud,'rson
occupied the chair, and the programme
consisted of singing, recitatioue readings
and music on the mouth orgaus. The
latter fairly set the lads anti lassies toes
and heels nimbly to work, and, like

very little keys.
Tho was a large representation of

At the annual meeting of the Beaver
cheese factory, held some time ago it
was decided to sell oat, The institution
does not seem to be at all in a prosper -
ons condition, from the fact that during
the past year instead of paying a divi-
dend to its shareholders it has been con-
siderably in debt.
The first installment of the library for

LOCAL NEWS.
We have received a postal card from
H. Buchanan stating that he has regain•
ed his health and expects to return to
Wingham the latter part of this week,
and will re -open his office on the first of
March.
The Thirteenth annual meeting of the
county of Huron Sunday School As-
sociation was held in this town on Tues-
day and Wednesday. There was a large
attendance of delegates from all parts of
the comity, and the convention was a
most successful one. On Tuesday the
sessions were held in the Methodist
church and on Wednesday in the Pres-
byterian church. The music was fur-
nished by a union of the different chnrch
choirs, under the leadership of Prof, G.
W. Cline, of Hamilton. Dr. Towler,
of this town, was elected president for
the ensuing year.

The C.:P. R. will run a cheap exonr-
sion to Torouto today to accommodate
a deputation from Harriston, Clifford,
Minto, Howick, Wroxeter and Gorrie
who will wait upon the Ontario Govern-
ment to oppose the formation of the pro-
posed new county of Maitland. The
fare for the round trip will be $2.25, and
tickets will be good to go on either
morning or afternoon trains, and will
hold good to return ou March 1st.
Oa Wednesday morning Wm. Mullen,
of the Royal store, was arraigned before
Mayor Neelands on a charge of obstruct-
ing the sidewalk in front of his premises
with fish barrels, etc. He was filed $2
and costs, which he promptly paid.
At a recent public meeting in this town
the council was aathorized to sabmit
another by-law to sink a new salt well,
but after due consideration on the part
of some of the leading spirits it was con-
cluded first to attempt to raise the $1,500
by subscription. Accordingly 11, W. C.
Meyer, Thomas Gregory and Reeve
Clegg started out to nolict contributions
for stook, and the zeal and energy mani-
fested in the undertaking is • fully ex-
empified when we state that by Wednes-
day evening they had succeeded in dis-
posing of thh entire $1,500 of stock.
The same evening the contract with Mr.
Bell, for sinking the well was signed,
and already be has taken steps to go a-
head with the work.
Last Thursday evening a large and in-
fluential meeting of the ratepayers of
Howick, Wroxeter and Gorrie was held
in the village of Wroxeter to consider
the matter of the proposed new county
of Maitland, with Listowel as the county
town. A delegation was present from
this town comprising Reeve Clegg, De-
puty -Reeve Scott, Conus. Willson and
Elliott. The feeling of the meeting was
decidely opposed to the new formation,
and canvassers were appointed to circu-
late petitions in each municipality for
presentation to the Government protest-
ing against the proposed change.
The town hall was well filled by our
most intelligent citizens, last Friday
evening, when Prof. Vallance, the
eminent Scottish elocutionist, made his
first appearance in this town. The pro•
fesser is a fine looking gentleman, of
commanding presence, possessed of a
fine and cultured voice, and is a scholar-
ly and accomplished elocutionist, and
those who failed to hear his recitals
missed one of the greatest treats of the
season.
Last Saturday night the toboggan
slides were in excellent condition, and
it was with difficulty the fleet vehicles
could at times be controlled. "Judge"
Croydon took a notion that he would
like a trip down Talbot's slide to see how
the thing worked. He tried it and with
telling effect. The judge is a rather
hefty man, which, of course, assisted
him in gaining a pretty good speed.
When he reached the bottom of the
slide the thing still slide until it carried
him and his toboggan half way through
the picket fence on Josephine street.
The judge wasn't hurt a bit, but the
fence was. George Whitney explained
that he should have turned the machine
a little to the left at the bottom of the
elide, and proceeded to give a oration'
demonstration of how to do it next time,
the judge watching all the details with
great interest. George started down
the slide, having on board John Oleg-
horn. Things went swimmingly until
the turning point was reached, and the
judge watched very closely to see how
he should have tamed. But the craft
somehow or other wouldn't answer to
the helm, and George, John and the to-
boggan crashed through. the fence at a
fresh place and landed in a promiscuous
heap out on the street.

A LAYING STRAIN.
Farm Selection of Hene That Lead*.
to Pleasure and Profit.
The only safe and sure way to se-
cure a laying strain o1 hens is by using
trap nests, writes Ed. Brown, Brandon
County, Manitoba. There are several
good varieties on the market, and the
details of how to make others are
often published. I had a motley lot of
chickens, but 1 wanted them of one
variety, so invested in Silver Wyan-
dotte eggs; but is it not the breed so
much as the selection that counts. 1
thought there were several boarders
among my flock, so adopted trap nests
in the winter of 1903-3. I had several
pullets which had commenced to lay
in November; one in particular seem -
.'ed to be always on the nest, so taking
her with a few others, two being full
sisters, I started to keep tabs on theca.
The first one gave me the wonderful
record of 53 eggs in 54 days, 52 being
laid from December 11 to February 2,
when she was shipped to our annael'.
poultry show at Winnipeg. She laid'
on the way up and while there. As she
scored 931,Q, under Butterfield, it is
evident she was a good all-round hen.
IOn returning she kept up laying until
May, 12 eggs more in February, 22 is
March, 24 in A.pril. Naturally I kept
her eggs for hatching.
Her daughters are nearly as good
layers. The following year I closed
them with her in a pen. The result
from nine of them through that long,
cold. winter, 1903-4, a little over 14
eggs s. month each. The five months
this past winter, 1904-5, which was
very mild, did not seem to be so good
for them as the cold. I had 12 shut
up, the old hen, four daughters,
and seven granddaughters. In March
two became broody, hatched their
chicks, but in about a month weaned
them and started to lay again; in fact,
one seemed to lay nearly 311 the time
she had her chicks. The old hen's
record was: November 13, December
16, January 4, February 10, March 11,
April 13. She is now very irregular
in laying. From November to April
her daughters laid 325 or 51.14 each;
her granddaughters (184, or 97 6-7 each.
A total of 1,086 for 12 hens, or 901,4
each. The look of a hen cuLs no figure
with me. In contrast to the above I
penned in ten hens, apparently in To
bust health and to be average birds of
the flock, for two months, May and
June.. 1905. The following shows how
they performed: Number 1 laid 18; 2,
28; e, 11; 4, 24; 5, 9; 6, 13; 7, 29; 8,
25; 9, 9;`10, 19. By picking the best
and keeping them for another year's
trial and by selecting their daughters,
I well approach the record I aim it
reach, namely 200.
A Earn Door Latch.
A latch for barn dors is shown in
the accompanying illustration. The de-
tails of construction are given plainly

It is manipulated by the, lever b. This
should be heavy enough to overbal-
ance the weight of the piece /barked
a. There is a pin in the door below
the lever to keep the latter from fall -
hag >sekew. The advantage of this
latch over the one-piece stringing
}ever is that it never swings ont where
it would be in the way- It is self-ad-
jtsstable in erase the door sags. The
piece can be adasted to suit the sloe
of the cloth. It is easily cons-txuc* i
and chea.p, there being no materials
used other than those found on every
farm.
Capacity of Wells.
A ready rule for areiving approxi-
mately at the number of gallons per
foot of water is as follows: Prom the
smeare of the bottom diameter of the
well in inches cut off one figure asci
divide by three. Thus if the well is
sixty inches in diameter 60 by 6e
eqtrals 3,600. Cutting oft one figure, it
leaves 360. This divided by 3 givies
12a, which is the number of gallons for
each foot of depth. IS, therefore, the
depth of water were foend to be tea
feet the available st/itply in the waif
would be 1,20 gallons. As the bottom
diameter of a well is sometimes less
than the top diameter care most be
taken in a.+certaininc the veaume, Aw

culation—the diameter of the part
where the water ie. A lighted candle
lowered down the well will serve to
show any breaks of diameter above
water level.—American Cultivator.
An Acre For the Boy.
I believe in giving the boy or girl
an acre or two of good land dose to
the house upon the understanding that
I am to furnish trees, plants, and seed*
to stock the plot, and that he or she
is first to supply the fa.uiily wtth aN

Money In Sheep.
An official report of the U.B.Depttlad-

that for years to eorge there will be
more Money in sheep than in any other
