A Plucky Boy,
Roht, Alexander, son of Mr. Lance-
lot Alexander, a farmer living three
miles south of town, had an unpleasant
experience one day recently. He had
been working in a field disk -harrowing
and was called to the house to assist in
killing some pigs. In doing so he got
some blood on his hands and when he
returned:to the field the horses smelled
the blood while he was near their heads
and they started after him. The boy
immediately grasped the bridle of one
of the horses and in the mad gallop
that ensued he was forced to hold on
for some minutes for fear of being cut
to pieces if he,let go. Hs was finally
released from his perilous position 'by
Mr. Geo. Walker, who came from some
distance to the rescue, having heard
the calls of the boy for help.
Empire Day.
The teachers and pupils of the Exe-
ter Public School expressed their pat-
riotism by a public demonstration on

as the Jarnes street church, thence to
Main street and turning North, went
as far as Main st.chorch.thence back to
the school. The pupils were provided
with banners and flags and . presented
a very pleasing spectacle as they pass-
ed through the street. At the school
grounds a platform was erected and
speeches were given byRevds. Martin,
Godwin and Perkins, also Messrs. H.
E. Huston, P. Frayne and N. D. Hur-
don. The speeches were interspersed
by songs,from the school. Mr.Frayne,
chairman of the Board, occupied the
chair. Miss Dorrington, of the staff
at the school, after the demonstration
was over took a number of the girls
down to the restaurant and treated
therm to a dish of ice cream and pea-
nuts. We trust the boys will not be
forgotten next time.
