One day last week, a sleek dapper, well-dressed, glib-tougued •youpg man called at the residence of Mr. Quist- opher Dale, sr., Huron Road, west of Seaforth, and asked for the proprietor.

The young" man asked him if he would get into the buggy, and drive over and see Mr. Fowler. He get into the buggy and drove off, but, instead of driving- straight there, when they gtt to the side roadleading south, the man turned down by the railway track. After going a short distance they met another strangertasomewhat burly coarse -looking individual. This man stopped them, and entered into conversation with Mr. Dale's compan- ion. After talking a. while, this second man said to the other that he could show him a nice little game by which he could make some money, and which he had learned in Buffalo when lin was over there with horses, and pro- ducing a. pack of cards he offered to bet the man in tbe buggy $5 that .he could not pick out a certain card. The betawas taken and the money put up, both men soemmg to have plenty of cash. The man readily picked out the. desired card, and pocketed. the money, The Buffalo man then asked Mr. Dale if he would not like to take a risk. Mr. Dale, who was evidently enjoying the fun as well as either of his companions, was quite willing to try and find the charmed card, but very positively de- clined to put up any money. This the Buffalo man at length consented to, and. Mr. Dale won the $5. After con- siderable coaxing, Mr. Dale took the money and quietly placed it in his pocket. He was theu strongly urged by both men to take another risk -for a larger amount, but he refused, and, thinking the fun had gone far enough, he very peremptorily ordered his com- panion to tarn around and drive hirn home. With &eat reluctance the man did so. Farmers had better be- ware of these gentry. • Tin' A T DREAD DEMON.

Mr. Foster, wh was greeted most enthusiastically, re tenni to the last visit he made to Lunen in company with the late la- mented Sir John A. Ma,cdon.ald, when the deceased statesman was honored with it great reception. He took a the Remedial 1111, and suppleraente it by a few remarks. Then he address- ed. Inmselt to the farmers particularly., showing the way they were treated under the Liberal Government from 1874 to 1879, when, in answer to their 'objections the Government in 1879 in- • stituted a reasonable protection for their products. The result was seen. in the extension of the home market, and in the growth of the foreign market for their products. He show- ed what would be the effect at ,,the present time if Mr. Laurier's policy were to become established. and the tariff was to be either taken away or reduced. The question of cold storage and the Government's venture in plac- ing butter on the British market, were referred to, and the good results shown.

The hon. gentleman dealt with the cry of lack ot economy and ex- travagance, and showed the difference between the two regimes, and the great reduction in the taxation En ',de since 1890. Concluding, he appealed to the Conservatives to stand together and not allow divisions on secondary questions to lead. to the defeat.
