night I caught an eleven pound
bass and whenever I want fresh
meat I -take my rifle and go out
and get me a ,deer." 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."

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.. He, should not be
made to, feel that he, is distrusted
by his family.
If he lies to avoid punishment,
perhaps his parents have been too
severe.

the name has evolved to Finnan

There's an interesting old Scot-
tish legend about the origination of
one of the ever-popular finny de-
lights known today as Finnan
Haddie, It seems that a huge
quantity of haddock was being
stored in an old building near Fin-
don, 'Scotland,. A sudden fire broke
out and, before it was 'brought un-
der control, the valuable fish had
been thoroughly permeated' by the
smoke. A canny 'native sampled
the smoked fish and, with enter-
prise characteristic of the Scots,
capitalized on the ,near misfortune
by selling it as a unique' new deli-

lbs, and was always ready for a
day's work. 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. While sitting one night in
the barroom of Tom Hill's hotel
in Bel,grave a stranger asked Tom-
-my if he ever did any hunting or
fishing along the Maitland, "I sure
do,” boasted Chummy, "just last
