Whereupon the stranger admonished Chummy to be more careful about revealing secrets to strangers. "Do you know who I am?" he asked. "No." "Well, I am the provincial game warden," said the stranger. "Oh? And do you know who I am?" replied Cifum-tOy. "No." "Well, I am the biggest liar in Huron." • There is one more incident in my life. I stole a plug of tobacco fr'om our hired man and went out to the .barn and started to chew it. Presently the trees and buildings started to go 'round and the ground came up and slapped me in the face,. then mother had a sick boy on her hands, That was my first and last chew of tobacco, and mother never did know what made her boy so sick, Of course, we didn't mind being sick in those days for Mother ,had a cure for just about everything, such as tansy tea or pine gum, and -if we went down with a cold we got a dose of -goose grease and turpen- tine, and believe it or, not, these old remedies always cured what- ever ailed us, I suppose largely be- cause mother gave them to us. "Backward, turn 'backward, O 'Time in your flight, Make me a child again Just for tonight." One time in Saskatchewan I was asked what I thought heaven would be like. I replied, "Man, did you ever hurt yourself, then climb onto your mother's knee and snuggle your head down into her bosom? There is your answer." -Junior's White Lies that., their child lies,- they are shocked at the new problem. They must realize that the youngster needs . special guidance through this phase. He may tell untruths because he lives In a world of his own, where his imagination is stronger than reality, and exaggeration creeps in. • He should he given to under- stand that his stories arc regarded as entertaining but that he must tell the truth..

A sudden fire broke out and, before it was 'brought un- der control, the valuable fish had been thoroughly permeated' by the smoke.

Yes, 'Simon could come, So the next morning, along with Charlie Arthur, an uncle of Keith Arthur, the present undertaker at Auburn, they started for the ten- acre field. Each had ,a cradle with a razor-edged blade and a whet- stone in his hip 'pocket, and by sun-down the ten acres were all lying in the swath and the next night handhound and partly stook= ed. ;Of course, those were the days when men were men arid five acres of cradling was a rare day's work. I wonder how many 'of my readers have ever used a grain cradle. I dare say that there are very few, but at one time the cradle was considered quite a con- venience, a great improvement on the old hand sickle with which one had to gather a handful of grain in one hand- and with the sickle in the other hand cut until one had enough for a 'sheaf, then lay down the knife and bind the bundle, This may sound exaggerat- ed, but it was the only means that some had of cutting the grain in the very early days. However, as I have previously stated, the early settlers were very industrious, and it wasn't long until the reaper came in and oh, what a modern convenience the horse-drawn reap- er wasl'I can well' recall, as a boy, The •fall wheat was in full color, It had large golden heads with well-filled kernels. The upper field was a beautiful sight to see as it waved' and rippled in the breeze with• the afternoon sun gleaming down. on the sheen. Father was anxiously scanning the, sky. Away in the west over Lake Huron a purple, cloud was beginning to roll, :With threatenings of Sometime previously Father had strained the ligaments of his shoulder and was unable to swing the cradle, and so much depended upon,that crop of wheat. We must get a message through to Simon Van Norman to come and help with the harvest. Big Simon, as he was called, lived in Belgrave. He was the handyman for the whole dis- trict. A. husky six-footer, he could turn,,the scale at well over 200 4-drawer chest running after the reaper and watching the big arms, or rakes, turning around, ,and every 30 sec- onds or so they would dip an,d sweep the table clean as the grain fell, just enough in each bunch to make a sheaf. Of course, it ,had to be hand bound afterwards, Not many years after this came the self-binder. I think that the first binder on the market was a Maxwell, made in Hamilton. Short- ly afterwards the Massey people put out a much improved machine. Some of the first 'binders that were built used fine wire to bind the sheave's, until some clever fel- low invented hinder twine. But of -course, harvest was -by no means over with the cutting of the grain! It had to. be hauled ,and stored in the barns or stacked outside-- mostly stacked, for few farmers had barns large enough to store much quantity of grain. Then to wait for the threshing machine! Ch what exciting times when we were preparing to thresh! Mother had been, baking and preparing for two or three days previously. Just to go down into the cellar and see the long shelves piled with apple • pies, biscuits, and homemade bread etc., was enough to make a fellow hungry, Father would kill a sheep. He always claimed that threshers could work so much 'better when they had a good supply of mutton under under their belts. A notable character on our con- cession was an Irish fellow by, the name of Charlie Johnston, or "Chumnty" as he was called by his friends, of whom he had many. Like the ancient marriner, he had an inexhaustible fund of stories, and a flair for telling them. Chum- „my was born' '50 years too soon. Radio and TV commercials today, which sing the praises of their goods have nothing on Chummy's tales.
