Take the experience of those two young thieves, wj.10 made little trouble for one of the banks in Hamilton as- an example. These two youngsters of the idle and nasty type were called bandits for a few hours. At once as this, word was, used youth cTreXv mental pictures of bold men on wild horses flourishing fire­ arms .and terrorising a t'imid but admiring populace. But what was the sober fact? The ne’er do. wells, found they had no place ■that was- safe. In a few hours, they were locked securely in. a jail icell. A few hours later their guilt was proven before a magis­ trate and they were on their way to thd penetenttary, unwept, des­ pised, to be buried' out of the sight of decent men. They never had one hour’s fame. They were simply jokes and the joke was all on. themselves. Thirty lashes will break the monotony of their prison term. 'The loafing youth, particularly the youth who loafs on Satur­ day night and on Sunday, had better think twice. It is. in just such crowds as he companies that police officers look ifor and fjnd thieves and crooks. A prison cell or a room in the poor house yawns for the young loafer. There is no glo-ry in idleness. There is neither food nor clothing in being tough. If a youngster has a home or a job, he should go to it. JAMES ST. W.M. S. The monthly meeting of the W. M. Sv of James Street United Church was held on the church lawn on Thursday, Aug. 14th. Mrs. J. T.

A very intersesting Temperance programe was then given .by Mrs. E. Shapton’s group, Mrs. Shapton presiding. i Short readings were given by four of the members. T'wo special temperance readings were well ren­ dered by Mrs. C. Walker and Mrs. E. Stone. Also two choruses by a number of th.e ladies were very pleasing and appropriate. At the close of the meet­ ing a pleasant half hour was. spent’ over some contests, in- which all took part.

(St. Marys Journal-Argus The Journal-Agrus man had pleasure of a short chat the other day with Dr. C. A. Campbell, of Kirkton, who arrived, home last week from an interesting holiday, trip to England, .Scotland and the. Continent in company with his' brother, Mt. Campbell, barrister, of Toronto. Although the weather had a tendency to start pouring when­ ever the Doctor and his brother started out on any sight-seeing ex­ pedition, it did not succeed in daipp- in'g his interest in the beauty ’ of rural England. To one who so de­ lights in* flowers as -does Dr. Camp­ bell, the lanes and gardens of rural England in summertime are a veri­ table paradise. Dr. Campbell had his camera with him and he lias brought back snapshots of some of the loveliest views that met his eye, ■of/garden, cottage’and castle. The Doctor brought back some ex­ ceptionally good views of ‘ that famous cathedral, : Yorkminster, which bring out well the architect­ ural detail. Other snaps , show the ancient wall and the narrow pict­ uresque streets which have, surviv­ ed down through the centuries. The Doctor, found Devonshire de­ lightful in June. They visited Tor­ quay, the famous watering place with its palms along the oceanway and its semi-tropical atmosphere. He was fortunate, in getting some fine views, of the hilly streets with quaint' homes overlooking the har­ bor. ■Some of his best garden views are from Leamington, where the public gardens opposite the Grand Pump House are a marvel in gorgeous bloom; Warwick Castle, rich in his­ tory as well as in floral beauty and luscious green expanse; and Devonshire, with its winding and romantic hedges, and its covered cottages and .gardens foxgloves and delphinium.
