When you make out a cheque, you give an order to your
bank to pay the amount specified to the person named.
If he lives on the next street, or thousands of miles away,
he can take your cheque to his local bank and get the money.
He cannot get it without a receipt—his signature on the
back of the cheque. If yours is a Current Account, your cheque
comes back at the end of the month, and so you have a per.
manent record and receipt of the payment.
The enormous convenience of the chequing system is just
one of the many services provided by your bank ... for you.

THE WINGFIAM ADVANMTIMES
PAGE sw,mtr
A drizzling- rain seeped through
Mike Duncan's threadbare coat and
soaked him to the skin. Snow had
preceded the rain that afternoon and
the going was pretty tough. He wear-
ily trudged along, endeavouring to
keep out of the way of reckless herds
of last-minute.Chr.stmas shoppers who
thought of him only as 'a bar to their
progress.
Ordinarily Duncan would not have
thought of his wet skin, his tattered
clothes, or even of his empty stomach,
They were all part of life on the road
—but this night was 'different, It
was Christmas Eve,
It must have been the holiday seas-
on—why else would. someone thrust
a Pfty-cent piece into hand and
then vanish in-to the shadows? He
could only murmur a grateful "Thank
you, sir, and a Merry Christmas to
week at the home of Mr. and Mrs, you" before the donor disappeared into
Thos. Gaunt of Turnberry, the swirling crowd.
Donnybrook:—Mr.and Mrs. J. C. Rob-
inson were visitors one day last week
with Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Sillib, Dun-
gannon.
Wroxeter:—Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Prit-
chard and little Jack; Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew McKenzie and daughter, Mur-
iel, were Toronto visitors last Tuesday.
The Gorrie Male Chorus were in
1 Goderich on Sunday evening, where
they assisted with the service in Vic-
toria street church. The choir is com-
posed of 22 members and the mem-
bership is- drawn from Gorrie, Wrox-
eter, Fordwich, Belmore„ Salem and
Lakelet.
Duncan reached into his left' pocket
pulled out two dimes and five pennies,
laid them with the half-dollar in the
palm of his other hand and stared at
his entire fortune of seventy-five cents,
He smiled sardonically when it oc-
curred to him presently that the build-
ing in front of which he stood was the
United States Mint. He turned and,
with a laugh that had a hysterical ring
to it, jingled his handful of coins, His
mirth attracted the top who bad been
standing on the corner watching him.
The officer said to Win in a brogue
so, thick that it could have been cut
with a knife, "Move on, blast ye I" Mike
wandered off down a deserted side
Street, clinking his money,
After shout an hour of aimless
roaming through 'endless alleys,r he
found himself directly opposite a brig-
htly decorated restaurant. He crossed
over and from sheer curiosity' looked'
in the window.
There were only two patrons in-
side—an elderly man and woman seat-
ed at a front table who were avidly
devouring with much relish a whole
roast turkey with all the side dishes,
Dmican's mouth began to water—
W.s stomach seemed hollow—he felt
his legs go weak, and his ever-present
hunger was getting the best of him.
Suddenly he remembered the seventy-
five cents, He thought quickly, A
bed for the night at a flop-house
would cost fifteen cents—that would
leave him sixty. He decided to go in
and order a roast turkey sandwich. He
gave his hat a few (left pats and open-
ed the door. He hung his battered hat
and coat where he could grab them in
case of an emergency, and made him-
self comfortable at a table in a corner,
Duncan knew that his appearance was
none to prepossessing and that a wait-
er would not dash up to sonic one
from whom he could not get a tip. Af-
ter a while a vinegar-faced matt deign-
ed to come to him, "What'll you
have?" he asked,- stiffling a yawn.
"A 'hot roast turkey sandwich," re-
plied Duncan,
"On tosat or rye bread?"

five pennies still clutched in his hand,
Slumped in his chair, his eyes followed

PHIL OSIFER OF
LAZY MEADOWS
By Harry J. Boyle
I had a letter the other day from a
reader that pleased me very much. Of
course it made me feel old but my nat-
ural vanity overcame even my reluct-
ance to admit that the years are going
by that they're piling up faster and fas-
ter all the time, This reader asked me
if I would repeat a story I told many
years ago in the columns of this news-
paper about the rabbits. It's so long
ago than I've almost forgotten the story
but here goes anyhow.
My grandfather was a great believ-
er in the intelligence of rabbits. He
always maintained that they were just
about as smart as any animal you
could find anywhere. Most other
people used to laugh at him, Sonic
people used to think he was fooling. I
could never quite believe him until one
night lie showed me exactly what he
meant.
I was staying with my grandfather
and mother at their place. It was an
early winter night and it had been
snowing all day with great flakes of
snow that seemed to just drift down
to earth. Just after supper it stopped
snowing. Grandfather called me to go
into the front room where there was
no light and he scraped the frost off
the window vatic and told Inc to just
sit there p.nd wait. He smoked his
pipe and talked and the time seemed
to be going by in a terribly stow way.
Finally I noticed a rabbit coming
across the front yard from the direc-
tion of the orchard. There was a nice,
clew fresh patch of snow there, The
rabbit hippety-hopped out into the cert.
tte of the front lawn, reared ttp oil his
haunches and looked aroma Then he
went back into the orchard and I
couldn't see hint. Grandfather made no
coinment but lust looked over my
shoulder.
Iii about five minutes that rabbit re-
turned with about fifty others. There
o I.
Mrs. Robt. Elliott of Brantford, is
visiting her son and daughter in town.
Miss A. Carrick has returned home
from Hamilton, where she had a mil-
linery, position for the past season.
Mrs. Robt. Maxwell is visiting her
former home in Michigan.
Fordwch Record: On, Wednesday
afternoon, Dec. 5th., Mr. Joshua W.
Scott of Wingham, and Miss Mary
Reidt were united in the bonds of wed-
lock at the home of the bride's parents,
'on the 13th. con. of Howick. Rev. A.
H. Thomas of Mildmay performed the
ceremony, which was a quiet one. The
young couple will take up their resi-
dence in Wingham, Their friends
here wish them all kinds of prosperity.
Miss H, Wright of Kincardine, was
visiting at Mr. J, :Remy's this week,
Wroxeter:—Reid Bros., are shipping
their stock of apples this week. We are
told that they received the largest price
for their stock of any factory around,
which speaks .well for the quality of
work of our factory here,
Bluevale:—Mr, John Bell of Morris,
visited his daughter, Mrs. Alex Magee
last week.
At The Tannery—Mr. Wm. Gurney
of Georgetown, has- leased the glove
department of Wingham Tannery and
will commence work there January 1st.
He already has a traveller on the road
and has secured some large orders for
1907 delivery. As he is a practical
glovemaker, there appears to be no
reason why a good trade should not be
'developed. Mr. Pringle will still con-
trol the tannery department, and con-
tinue to pay-the highest prices for hid-
es, skins, furs, tallOw, etc. The Ad-
vance hopes to see every department
as busy a hive as in days past.

been elected with a splendid majority.

"Rye,"
"Anything else?"
Duncan shook his head, "No, noth-
ing ese,"
"Are you sure that's all you want?"
"Yes, that's all. Just a roast ittrkor
sandwich."'
The waiter returned with the order,
placed it before him, shook his head
wonder:ugly and withdrew, Duncan.
virtually devoured the sandwich in
three bites. Ile 'delicately wiped his
mouth with a napkin, their beckoned
the waiter., "Check, please," he said, was a clear moon that night and you
could watch everything perfectly. They
danced around and around in a circle
and there was always one in the cen-
tre. Grandfather leaned away over my
shoulder and said, "They're playing
ring-around the rosie." it certainly
looked like it, Then they started dis-
appearing and leaving one rabbit in the
centre of the lawn with his face down
in his paws. "They're playing hide and
go seek"? said my grandfather. Sure
enough the rabbit would go looking for
the others and pretty soon the lawn
would be swarming with them.
My grandfather and I sat there for
over an hour watching them. The
lawn got all tracked up and then they
moved down into the pasture field and
stayed there until the dog chased them
away. Grandfather didn't comment ex-
