Exeter Times, 1908-07-23, Page 6SCHEME WILL BE EXTENDED Several Ontario Counties Are Likely to Have Forest Nurseries. A despatch from Toronto says: The Ontario Government's farm forestry scheme which has been initiated by the acquiring at the cost of $1,000 ono hundred acres of Bind in Norfolk county to be used as a forest nursery is to bo expand- ed as quickly as possible. The Minister of Agriculture has suggest- ed that suitable places for the es- tablishment of further nurseries would bo Durham, Simcoe and Lambton counties, in all of which are large areas of lands which have been declared to be unrent- able for agricultural purposes. The work under tho department has been progressing steadily. In the last two years something like half a million young white pine trees have been imported from Ger- many and distributed through the medium of the Agricultural Col- lege at Guelph. In connection with the Government nurseries it is proposed to utilize the services of the graduates of the Agricultur- al College who have taken a course in forestry. With regard to the large scheme of reforestration which will doubtless be undertaken by the Government at some future time the idea which has been ad- vocated by the Hon. Nelson Mon- teith is that they should reforest some of the large areas in the north. UPSET IN A SQUALL. Young Man and Woman Drowned, Child Rescued. A despatch from Halifax says: While sailing on Bedford Basin late Wednesday afternoon Una Roy, aged seventeen, and William Muir, aged sixteen, were drowned, and Margaret Muir, aged twelve, a sis- ter of the last named victim, was rescued, after being half an hour ip the water. When the party -left Bedford at 4 o'clock the weather was fine and the water calm, but suddenly a terrific thunderstorm set In, and before the party oould make the shore a heavy squall swept down from the north, and capsized the boat. The three occu- pants were hurled into tbo water about a quarter of a mile from the shore. As the craft began to fill and settle down in the water, Muir seized the two oars, passing ono to his little sister and the other to Miss Roy. The latter, however, soon sank, and Muir, exhausted from his efforts to keep the two girls afloat, also went down. Little Margaret, however, clung to the oar, and her screams for help at- tracted the attention of a man named Wilkes, who was on the shore, and, procuring a boat, he rescued the little girl. The victims are members of prominent Halifax families summering at Bedford. Miss Roy is a daughter of Mr. J. E. Boy, and William Muir a son of Mr. Andrew Muir. CUT OFF BABY'S LEGS. Girl Got in Front of Mowing Ma- chine Driven by Mother. A despatch from Utica, N. Y., says: Mrs. John Bisnette, wife of a farmer at De Kalb, St. Lawrence county, ran the mowing machine for her husband on Thursday while her three -and - a - half - year - old daughter picked berries in the field. Suddenly the mother heard the baby scream just in front of her, and before she could stop the team the rapidly -cutting knives had sev- ered both her little daughter's legs. The child is dying, and the mother is going insane of grief. ,I. TWO RICH STitIKES MADE. Vein Showing Solid Metal on Sur- face Bared. A despatch from Cobalt says: A rich discovery was made on Nipis- sing on Wednesday, on lot R. L. 400. A vein was found by men trenching. The vein has been un- covered for nearly 100 feet in plac- es. It has a width of 14 inches, but the average width is 10 inches. It is a mass of calcite and silver, and for part of the distance solid metal appears on the surface. A find has also been made in the Laltose tunnel, No. 10, which is believed to be very important. IRON NEAR MONTREAL. Very Inroortant Discovery by a C. P. R. Official. A despatch from Montreal says: A leading official of the C. P. R. made the statement on Thursday that in the Laurentian Mountains, within 100 miles of Montreal, were the largest iron ore deposits in Canada; in fact, the oro area was miles square in extent. "The re- ports are now before me, showing sixty per cent. of iron to a ton of earth. I leave Montreal on Friday for .the purpose of endeavoring to bring into realization what would have been yesterday described as a dream. Until we have completed the preliminaries it would be most injudicious to give particulars, but the genuineness of the find is be- yond question," was the closing comment of the official. I EXPLOSION 0:+ THE MAGNA. Two Men Killed at Tusket Wedge, Nova Scotia. A despatch from Halifax, says: A distressing accident which result- ed in the death of two men and the maiming of two others occurred late Wednesday on board the Norweg- ian bark Ragna, which was lying at Tusket Wedge. The boiler connect- ed with the donkey engine exploded, killing instantly the carpenter and one seaman, and blowing one of the mate's legs from his body and severely scalding another seaman. The captain of the Ragna telephoned the news of the accident to Yar- mouth and a tug boat was despatch- ed to bring the injured men to Yar- mouth. 'I. PUSHED HIM AGAINST KNIFE. Halifax Man Arrested on Charge of Murdering Another. A despatch from Halifax, says: Frank Burke, the young man some- what mysteriously stabbed at the Intercolonial Railway Station Mon- day evening, is dead, and William Perrin, with whom Burke had a tussle at the time of the wounding, is at the police station, rearrested on a charge of murder. The two young men had been skylarking on a car when Perrin pushed Burke aga'nst a carving knife. WOLFE MEMORIAL. Service will le Iicld at Him Tomb in Greenwich Chure'r. A despatch from London says: On the day of dedication at Quebec there will be a memorial service at St. Allege Church, at Greenwich, where Wolfe is buried. The Lord Mayor and sheriffs will attend, and it is hoped detachments of Wolfe's regiments will also be present. SMASHED A WOMAN'S NOSE James McMananey Said It Was the Only Way to Save Her From Drowning. A despatch from Montreal says: A sailor by the name of Jaynes Mc- Manancy on board the S.S. Ninnga of the Elder -Dempster Line, saved the life of a woman on Wednesday morning, who had fallen off the wharf. She was walking along the wharf in an intoxicated condition and fell into the river. McMananey jumped in after her and brought her to the edge. As soon as she was safe the woman started to scream and call for help, saying that her rescuer was trying to murder her. Then she grasped the sailor's hair and com- menced to pull it out in handfuls. This caused McMananey to release CONDENSED NEWS ITEMS HAPPENINGS FIIOM ALL OVER TUE GLOBE.

A Clean Conscience, Something to Do, and Sume One to Love. In these days of many theories regarding the power of mind over matter, when almost everybody is searching for a mental short cut to that state of contentment that is somewhat indefinitely defined as "happiness," it is a pleasure to conte upon such a sane prescrip- tion for relief from existing dis- quietude as that which is given by Mrs. Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in one of the current magazines. "The conditions of happiness," she says, "are three : a clean conscience, something to do, and some one to love." Here in a nutshell we have a philosophy of life that may be adopted without hesitation. What- ever one's opinions may be regard- ing the truth of the so-called psy- chic problems that are now attract- ing so much attention, there can be no objection to any of the ingredi- ents that compose the prescription suggested. It is about as clear and compact a definition of the qualities that combine to produce a state of individual happiness as it would be possible to devise. In the first place, happiness with- out a clear conscience would be ab- sc•lutely impossible. No man can he happy and at the sauce time be afraid to look the world in the face. The more appearance of somebody who has a just grievance against us is enough to knock all the joy nut of life for some time to come. Money will do a great deal toward the attainment of happiness. The realization of ambitions will l:olp ns to be contented, but neither of ITE WORLD'S MARKETS REPORTS FROM IIIE LEADING TRADE CENTRO.).

Though we exert every mental effort of which wo are capable the day or hour is certain to come when we are brought face to face with the fact that there is an indictment outstanding against us to which we must plead in the court of con- science. It is at such a ti►no that we begin to realize that neither wealth nor position are alone able to bring us happiness for which the soul longs. To attain this blessing we must be able to look every man straight in the eye, and to do this we must know that no man has the power to bring the blush of shame to our cheeks. Contentment of this sort, how- ever, is not the only thing we need to make us happy. Before we can attain this condition wo must have something to do, for work is the greatest remedy for misery that plan has yet bon able to find. As a matter of fact, half the unhap- piness in this world is duo to idle- ness. When a rnan has nothing else to think about he is not un- likely to spend his time in thinking about himself, and there are few of tis who, should we grow intro- spective, could not dig up some thoughts that would help to make us miserable. In other words, it does not pay to dwell too closely upon our own troubles or to delve too deeply into the past. Yesterday has gone, and no regrets that we can express are able to bring its possibilities back again . To -day is a new day, with new opportuni- ties waiting to be grasped. The only way in which it is possible for us to take advantage of them is to be up to the minute, with hands ready and mind alert to seize the chance for which we have been waiting. The best way in which we can prepare for this possibility is to keep busy. If we have enough to do we have little time for either introspection or retro- spection, and as both are fatal to our happiness the "something to do" that leaves no time for such mental dissipations is certainly a necessary ingredient in this pre- scription. But, then. in addition to all there must be some one fair us to love. some one who can draw us out of the shell of selfishness and make us take a genuine interest in life. for the selfish man can know no true happiness. To be really happy we must do for others, we must think of others and make their interests our own. Many a man and wo- man has learned that in this condi- tion there is a remedy for count• less ills -a remedy that is more ef- fective than any that the druggist can compound. Thus, it is in do- ing for others that one is able to escape from his own chains. It is in thinking about the needs of others that he is able to forget his own woes. It is in helping others to find happiness that he is able to discover that blessing for himself. The loveless man may he a rich man, or a successful man. so far as the material viewpoint is concern- ed hut when yon find a being who is living without love you will have lc•cated a soul that is unhappy. Yes, it is a good prescription -a clean conscience, work to do. and some one to love. It is unnecessary to search for other ingredients. Procure these things for yourself. and you will have no further need to complain about your unhappi- nese. Beans -$2 for pria:es and $2.10 for hand-picked.

A despatch from North Bay, Ont., says: Tho mystery of many robberies of passengers on C. P. R. trains west of North Bay during the last month, which caused tho rail- way company great annoyance, and seemed destined to baffle the hest detective skill, has, it is claimed, by the authorities, been solved in the arrest on Wednesday of a ne- gro, giving the name of La►nont. Pinkerton Detective Murray, of Boston, who has been working on the case for several weeks, chased Lamont to Moose Jaw, his quarry doubling back from that point and managing to elude the detective until Vb ednesday, when C. P. R. Constable Williams arrested him at North Bay and wired Detective Murray of his capture. Murray arrived and identified the prisoner as the man wanted. Lamont has been travelling back and forth on night trains. When asked his rea- son for travelling so extensively, he said he was just fishing. Lamont waseidentified by C. P. R. officials as having made his head- quarters at Schreiber, where he occasioned the company consider - dile trouble. Ho was remanded to jail for eight days in order than his record could be looked up.

Good butchers' were very scarce and what there were brought very good prices. Cows were firm, although no material change was noticeable in the prices. There was a good supply of sheep and lambs, and the demand was good, so the market was just about steady. Local prices of choice live hogs are 86.90 per cwt., fed and watered off cars Toronto. FASTEST CRAFT IN WORLD Its Real Function is to Destroy De- stroyers. A despatch from London says: There has just left Caunnell and Laird's shipyard at Birkenhead for a speed test on the Clyde what is believed to be the fastest craft in the world. It is officially described as an ocean-going torpedo-boat de- stroyer, but its real function is to destroy destroyers. To enable her to overhaul these speedy vessels the Swift is equipped with the most powerful engines ever put into a small vessel, they being turbines developing 30,000 horse -power. The fuel she uses is oil, of which she carries 180 tons. The vessel has al- ready had a preliminary trial, re- garding which there is extreme se- crecy, but it is believed sho made 38 knots. It is predicted that in her forthcoming trial she is likely to make 39. AIIRIVAL 01•' LORD ROBERTS. Cruiser Hits Battleship and Both are Damaged. A despatch from Quebec says: Tho steamer Empress of Ireland ar- rived in port shortly after eleven o'clock on Thursday night. The Duke of Norfolk and Lord Roberts landed on Friday morning at 9 o'clock. Among the arrivals on the Empress of Ireland were Earl Ran- furly, Capt. Hon. Cecil Murray, and Geo. Wolf, Esq., who were driven to the Chateau Frontenac. The first dress rehearsal of the pageants took place on Thursday afternoon, on the Plains of Abra- ham, and was a huge success, thou- sands being unable to secure seats, although an admission fee was charged, When the British cruiser Venus was coming into port this evening, she collided with the British battle- ship Russell, both vessels being slightly damaged. Two customs inspectors and a watchman were killed at Boston by the explosion of a box of detonating caps, which they were opening. RESPECT TIIEIR OCCUPATION. Don't Treat Lightly Any Honest Work of Fellow Ilumaus. It is always unkind to treat light- ly any useful occupation in which another must earn his living. A man stood one day in a little shop where souvenirs and trinkets were sold and watched the different per- sons who came up to the counter to examine the goods. A young woman behind the counter was do- ing her best to servo her customers satisfactorily and to give them the best her little stock afforded. To thousands of persons, doubtless, tho little stock of novelties had an in- terest which warranted the conduct of the business. One couple he ob- served came up to the counter and cast a hasty glance over the stock. Tho salesgirl's face lighted up with interest as she stepped forward to serve them. Tho woman then turn- ed to her husband, and, with a look of utter disdain for the little stock of trinkets, walked on, remarking aloud so both customers and the girl could hear it, "There's noth- ing here I'd have as a gift." Tho girl's face fell, and she seemed sad- dened. Others might walk on in their supercilious superiority, but she must remain and earn her liv- ing by selling those little trinkets to such as wanted them. The observer could not help think- ing how this spirit of disrespect for the bumbler work of another has wounded the feelings of unnumbered workers and made them lose respect for the tasks at which they must earn their living. TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Money Package Found in C. P. R. '!'rain Shed at Winnipeg. A despatch from Winnipeg says: Twenty thousand dollars tied up in brown wrapping paper was found in the train shed of the C. P. en Wednesday as the result of rain dropping through the roof upon the package, thus revealing its con- tents. It is said to have been hand-, ed to an express messenger by a news agent, who found he had too much money on hand, and was too inexperienced to know the correct procedure. The valuable package had been handled like an ordinary bunch of laundry, among a lot of packages with which it was trans- ported. TWO MEN SUFFOCATED. Were Engaged to Excavating for Bridge nt Lethbridge. A despatch from Lethbridge, Alta., says : A double fatality oc- curred on Wednesday afternoon, when two then, Frank Rush, an Englishman. and George E. Thomp- son, from North Dakota, met sud- den death by gas suffocation. A hole 30 feet deep had been sunk by the C. P. R. to test the foundat ien for a pier for the big bridge, and an abandoned entry to the Galt Mine was found. Work was dis- c..ntineed on Recount of the gas. ARRIVED AT WRONG PORT Queer Experience of the Norwegian Barque Atlantic. A despatch from St. John. N.B., says: An incident, probably unique, occurred on Tuesday, when the Nor- wegian barque Atlantic sailed up the bay and anchored at Partridge Island. The Atlantic was several hundred miles out of her course, as she is hound to Carleton, Que. This latter port is sltnated in the county of Bonaventure on the north shore of l'haleur's Bay. A tug spoke the Atlantic. and open exchange of the customary questions ('apt. Living- stone of the tug surmised that there was some mistake. The captain of the barque was dumbfounded to learn of the prefcament into which he had blundered. He explained that the mistake was due to lack of knowledge on the part of his brokers in New York. ripen whom lie had depended for information. and who had told him that the only place named Carleton in these parts was situated at the mouth of the St. John. With his course laid out ac- cording to their instructions. the Atlantic steered for this port. She remained only a few hours, setting sail again early in the afternoon.
