Campbell, of Londesboro, the veteran and respected clerk of the town- ship of Hullett, in a recent letter to the Globe, gives the following interesting incidents: An incident occurred on my farm to -day that gave me the idea of telling some of my experiences as a farmer, Ten years of my early life in Canada was spent behind the counter of a general store in the country not very far from the city of Toronto but getting tired of storekeeping I decided to turn farmer and go west. The going west of those days meant no more than going up to Lake Huron or thereabouts In 1867 I purchased a 55 acre farm al- most in the centre of the now first-class township of Hullett, having between forty and fifty acres cleared thereof, but with no buildings except a small frome cottage, still standing, for which I paid nearly two thousand dollars, pay- ing down $1,200 and borrowing the $800 from Mr. Jenkins, of the Huron road, he being about the only farmer in the Goderich district having money to lend at that. time. How different with the farmers of to -day, who almost every oce of th, eouid lend a little sum like LIMY'S THIS?

Those were the days of small things, and we were contented there- with. Very fortunately I dropped into a fine neighborhood, with a Yorkshire- man in front of me and a Yorkshireman to the left of me, by whose advise in a farm way I profited not a little. The incident of to -day was the shooting of an old farm horse at the age of 31 years and six months. A few years ago I had one shot at the same age and some few years before that I had another one shot at thirty years old, and that one was never shod but once -that was at three years old. But what Inay be con- sidered remarkable in my farming car- eer is the fact that in all those forty- six consecutive years on the farm I did not lose by death or accident a single horse or cow, steer or heifer, sheep, or even a grown up pig. Of course the stock kept was not large ibut always sufficient for the size of the farm. Party Strength in the House of Commons.

After Making a Start as a School Teacher She Turned to the Trade of a Carpenter and Began to Erect Dwellings -Now She Has a Thea- tre of Her Own -Does Everything Herself. In the extreme south-wastern cor- ner of the Province of Ontario, in the County of Kent, there is situated the little town of Tilbury, distingulebed chiefly at the present moment for its smallness of size and the magnitu.te of its aspiratione, aspirations wieett no doubt have quite as good a chance of being realized as have the similar aspirations of a thousand similar lit- tle towns dotted over the great Dom- inion, says Mrs. Donald Shaw In To- ronto Saturday Night. 33ut if there is one citizen who will force Tilbury forward towards the realizations of its aspirations, the ul- timate of which is to be classed as a "city" in the near future, that per son will be Tilbury's most interesting resident, Mrs. P. L. Phaneuf, a wo- man who is the possessor of so re- markable and uncommon a personal- ity that it seems odd it should be left to an English journalist and a strang- er to the town to chronicle her achievements. Mrs. Phaneuf is a woman of whom the world should and probably will hear more -whether this be or not, at any rate the world at large cannot fail to he the better and the wiser for knowing of her existenc , and the work that she Is carrying out. Thrown on her jwn resources at an early age with no asset beyond that of an excellent education, Alm Phaneuf first of all devoted her time to school -teaching, yet so intense was her love for the hammer, the chisel, and the saw, that she gave 111) all her spare time to doing repairs for the farmer with whom she boarded and his neighht 1. Later. marriage brought to her the responsibilities of wife and mother, but in a few brief years sho found herself again dependent upon her own exertions to support not only herself but three title children, With the launching of her family came the widening of the scope of her ability. Relieved r f the neces-tity of earning a daily wags, she was able to turn her attention to the acquisi- tion of property and the development of the town in which she had made her home. To Tilburyites, the squarely -built, simply -clad, eneegetic figure with its intelligent face, its firm humorous moutleeand its kindly eyes, is so com- mon and every day a sight that no one amongst them looks upon their chief citizen as being at all out of the cotumon order. Nevertheless, it remains a fact that Mrs. Phaneuf is not only a very remarkable woman, but also one who is doing perhaps mt.re to build up her own little corner of the world on scientific and enter- prising lines than any man amongst them ail -and vithal she keeps her own unassuming self reliance, neither advertising herself nor apparently re- alizing that she is doing 1. work which few men an. not on" in a thousand women could accomplish, quietly, un- ostentatiotrly and thoroughly, ft was Mrs. Phaneuf who decided that Tilbury, the "rising town of the Southwest," sheuld have its picture theatre, ant as no one else saw that it was wanted, why, she just built it hers..elf. The last time I interviewed her she was nailine square tin plates (1 (30 not know the professional term for them) on the outside of a long wooden huild'ng in which there is a nightly show of up-to-date cinemato- graph pictures. I sat on a ladder laid lengthwise, while Mrs. Phaneuf ham- mered murderous nas into her edi- Hee and at the saint: time discoursed to me with placid cheerfulnese and diracted the operations of three or four carpenters engaged in a similar task to her own. I noticed that it was she who knew where to put the lad- ders and how to put the tin plates on and that they obeyed meekly and without question. A day or two later the energetic lady was working on the roof itself and tradition has it that Itis no un- common thing for her to don work- man's overalls Alen occasion de- mands and to carry a bricklayer's hod. After this, can anyone say that wo- men are incapable of carrying out men's work if their taste and inclina- tion lie that way? Mrs. Phaneuf's picture theatre is built on thoroughly modern linos with a sloping floor, plenty of exits, and efficient ventilation and lighting. 13e - fore its advent it was a tradition in Tiibury that the electric light could only be obtained between the hours of 6 p.m. and tnichtieht. I3ut it needs a woman to overcome such fallacies. I was amused just before I left the town, when in an "ice cream parlor," to observe that all the electric lamps were on, and to bear a customer en- quire the reascn. "Oh, there's a matinee at the Star," was the answer ty the waitress. So, there is a matinee at the Star every Saturday, and there are up-to- date, educational and topical pictures shown there and the prices are rea- sonable. Also there is a big illumin- ated electric Star outside the building to indicate its whereabouts and there le a gramophone with its horn pro- jecting into the stveet which plays ropular tunes during the daytime and no doubt brings in many extra nickels aad dimes to the energetic lady who conceived the idea of establishing the novel tr etnod of advertising. But wherever she may be, whether I her own 'Ise, hi a business office, on the roof of a building which she Is • nstructing (h own house, 're t; way, was Intilt, plas'erecl and painted with h- own hands), whe- ther working, or direetil g, supervis- ing or merely talking over mundane :airs. as. t.!.aneuf carries with her the, sante atmos,phere Of ealn1 Self pose an i reliance, of aelf control aed an assuranee whiali is neither aggrefsive nor unfetninino, but simply the re- sult or proved nrntai and :.->hysleal capacity to carry out the work to which she has devoted her time and energy.

Those were the days of small things, and we were contented there- with. Very fortunately I dropped into a fine neighborhood, with a Yorkshire- man in front of me and a Yorkshireman to the left of me, by whose advise in a farm way I profited not a little. The incident of to -day was the shooting of an old farm horse at the age of 31 years and six months. A few years ago I had one shot at the same age and some few years before that I had another one shot at thirty years old, and that one was never shod but once -that was at three years old. But what Inay be con- sidered remarkable in my farming car- eer is the fact that in all those forty- six consecutive years on the farm I did not lose by death or accident a single horse or cow, steer or heifer, sheep, or even a grown up pig. Of course the stock kept was not large ibut always sufficient for the size of the farm. Party Strength in the House of Commons.

After Making a Start as a School Teacher She Turned to the Trade of a Carpenter and Began to Erect Dwellings -Now She Has a Thea- tre of Her Own -Does Everything Herself. In the extreme south-wastern cor- ner of the Province of Ontario, in the County of Kent, there is situated the little town of Tilbury, distingulebed chiefly at the present moment for its smallness of size and the magnitu.te of its aspiratione, aspirations wieett no doubt have quite as good a chance of being realized as have the similar aspirations of a thousand similar lit- tle towns dotted over the great Dom- inion, says Mrs. Donald Shaw In To- ronto Saturday Night. 33ut if there is one citizen who will force Tilbury forward towards the realizations of its aspirations, the ul- timate of which is to be classed as a "city" in the near future, that per son will be Tilbury's most interesting resident, Mrs. P. L. Phaneuf, a wo- man who is the possessor of so re- markable and uncommon a personal- ity that it seems odd it should be left to an English journalist and a strang- er to the town to chronicle her achievements. Mrs. Phaneuf is a woman of whom the world should and probably will hear more -whether this be or not, at any rate the world at large cannot fail to he the better and the wiser for knowing of her existenc , and the work that she Is carrying out. Thrown on her jwn resources at an early age with no asset beyond that of an excellent education, Alm Phaneuf first of all devoted her time to school -teaching, yet so intense was her love for the hammer, the chisel, and the saw, that she gave 111) all her spare time to doing repairs for the farmer with whom she boarded and his neighht 1. Later. marriage brought to her the responsibilities of wife and mother, but in a few brief years sho found herself again dependent upon her own exertions to support not only herself but three title children, With the launching of her family came the widening of the scope of her ability. Relieved r f the neces-tity of earning a daily wags, she was able to turn her attention to the acquisi- tion of property and the development of the town in which she had made her home. To Tilburyites, the squarely -built, simply -clad, eneegetic figure with its intelligent face, its firm humorous moutleeand its kindly eyes, is so com- mon and every day a sight that no one amongst them looks upon their chief citizen as being at all out of the cotumon order. Nevertheless, it remains a fact that Mrs. Phaneuf is not only a very remarkable woman, but also one who is doing perhaps mt.re to build up her own little corner of the world on scientific and enter- prising lines than any man amongst them ail -and vithal she keeps her own unassuming self reliance, neither advertising herself nor apparently re- alizing that she is doing 1. work which few men an. not on" in a thousand women could accomplish, quietly, un- ostentatiotrly and thoroughly, ft was Mrs. Phaneuf who decided that Tilbury, the "rising town of the Southwest," sheuld have its picture theatre, ant as no one else saw that it was wanted, why, she just built it hers..elf. The last time I interviewed her she was nailine square tin plates (1 (30 not know the professional term for them) on the outside of a long wooden huild'ng in which there is a nightly show of up-to-date cinemato- graph pictures. I sat on a ladder laid lengthwise, while Mrs. Phaneuf ham- mered murderous nas into her edi- Hee and at the saint: time discoursed to me with placid cheerfulnese and diracted the operations of three or four carpenters engaged in a similar task to her own. I noticed that it was she who knew where to put the lad- ders and how to put the tin plates on and that they obeyed meekly and without question. A day or two later the energetic lady was working on the roof itself and tradition has it that Itis no un- common thing for her to don work- man's overalls Alen occasion de- mands and to carry a bricklayer's hod. After this, can anyone say that wo- men are incapable of carrying out men's work if their taste and inclina- tion lie that way? Mrs. Phaneuf's picture theatre is built on thoroughly modern linos with a sloping floor, plenty of exits, and efficient ventilation and lighting. 13e - fore its advent it was a tradition in Tiibury that the electric light could only be obtained between the hours of 6 p.m. and tnichtieht. I3ut it needs a woman to overcome such fallacies. I was amused just before I left the town, when in an "ice cream parlor," to observe that all the electric lamps were on, and to bear a customer en- quire the reascn. "Oh, there's a matinee at the Star," was the answer ty the waitress. So, there is a matinee at the Star every Saturday, and there are up-to- date, educational and topical pictures shown there and the prices are rea- sonable. Also there is a big illumin- ated electric Star outside the building to indicate its whereabouts and there le a gramophone with its horn pro- jecting into the stveet which plays ropular tunes during the daytime and no doubt brings in many extra nickels aad dimes to the energetic lady who conceived the idea of establishing the novel tr etnod of advertising. But wherever she may be, whether I her own 'Ise, hi a business office, on the roof of a building which she Is • nstructing (h own house, 're t; way, was Intilt, plas'erecl and painted with h- own hands), whe- ther working, or direetil g, supervis- ing or merely talking over mundane :airs. as. t.!.aneuf carries with her the, sante atmos,phere Of ealn1 Self pose an i reliance, of aelf control aed an assuranee whiali is neither aggrefsive nor unfetninino, but simply the re- sult or proved nrntai and :.->hysleal capacity to carry out the work to which she has devoted her time and energy.
