SANCTUM PARAGRAPHS:
-Tho first division in the Ontario
Legislature for the present session
was a vote of 80 to 10. Seems to be
lots of room for lion. A. G. McKay to
turn round ou his side of the House—
not at all crowded certainly.
k „
—The Trade Agreement with Cana'
da passed the United States House of
Representatives by a vote of 221 to 02.
O There has been a big leak of nearly
250 million dollars from the States to
Canada during the past few years, in
the way of building up branch factor-
ies in this countr y, id wlfich thousands
of Canadian workmen are employed
The House of Representatives natural-
ly wish to see this big leak stopped,
the capital to remain in the States
and benefit American workmen. Gov-
ernor Foss of Massachusetts declared
recently that unless something was
done, millions more of Atnerican capi-
tal would go to Canada in the same
way. No wonder President Taft
wanted "something done," and the
Trade Agreement is aimed in that
direction.
—Evidently; the fools are not all
dead yet, for in the United States
House of Representatives the other
day, Representative Bennett offered a
resolution directing President Taft to
enter into negotiations with Great
Britain for the annexation of Canada.
to the United States. Champ Clark,
who is to be the Speaker in the next
House, said :—
"Canada will wake up some day
and find herself annexed to the
United States."
She will, eh ? Suppose she should
wake up before that happens, it will
be interesting to note what she will
do to the so-called "statesmen" that
are leading her thitherwards. Our
parliamentary leaders may not see it
in that light, but they ought to know
Uncle Sam well enough to remember
that he never trades horses unless he
is getting the best end of the bargain.
Messrs. Fielding and Paterson are no
match for the cute advisers surround-
ing President Taft.
—Four members of the Ontario
Legislature decline to accept the $400
addition to their salary. We mis-
take them much, if they hold fast to
their refusal very long. Their names
are Studholme (representative of
Labor) Hamilton, McEwing of Wel-
lington, Stock of South Perth, and
Nickle of Kingston—one Conserva.
tive, two Liberals and one Laborite,
• while one Liberal member thought
the increase was not largo enough.
Many of the electors think it quite
sufficient, and that there should hive
been no increnee at all. The salary of
$1000 was perhaps enough, if the
member had other means of liveli-
hood for the rest of the year, but not
enough if dependent on the indem-
nity alone. One thousand dollars for
two or three months' work was a
temptation to a certain class of men
to take up politics as a sideline ; that
temptation is now increased. On the
other hand, $1000 was not enough to
induce men of ability to give up
business in hand, and devote their
whore time .to the interests of the
province. Our opinion is, that the
increase was bound to come soon or
later, but in any case $1200 would
have been quite sufficient for a few
years at least.
Presentation And Addrdss.
Last Friday evening, the Choir of
St. Andrew's Church enjoyed the
hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Thos.
Wilson of Shuter street. The evening
was spent in games and amuse-
ments, which were heartily enjoyed.

to show their appreciation of Mr. and
Mrs. Robt. Maxwell, whose intended
removal from Wingham is much
regretted. A presentation was made
to Mr, and Mrs. Maxwell of half -a -
dozen silver knives and forks, with
pearl handles, in a golden -oak case,
the presentation being made by Geo.
W. Cline, and the accompanying

HOW TO KEEP YOUNG.
The following is a paper on. "How
to keep young,l`read at the meeting
of the Wingham branch of the Wom-
en's Institute on January 20th last, by
Mrs, E, Rosman of Wingham :
1 would. say in the first place, get
right with God, then you'll be in a
position to start right. One needs to
start while young and not wait until
half their life is gone, for then it is so
much harder to start. Avoid worry 1
Do not worry over every little thing
that goes wrong, or about things that
never happen, and getting flustered
about things, for if you don't, ten
chances to one they will come out all
right. Some people worry about the
weather and I think it is a very foolish
thing to do, as we cannot make it any
better and it would not be right if we
could for our Heavenly Father knows
what kind of weather to send, better
than man. I often think we would
have funny kind of weather if man
had the making of it. Learn self-con-
trol, for it is said that anger is a rapid
wrinkle -maker, and one does not want
wrinkles any sooner than they can
help. So many times people say
things for which they are very sorry
afterwards and, as a rule, the hard
things you say make the deepest im-
pression and often hurt more than
we have any ideaof, spoils the good
you intended doing and often separ-
ates friends while your heart is aching
for their friendship again, but will not
yield lest people should think you
soft. It is true as it is said, "A soft
answer turnoth away wrath," for
when they see that you do not get
angry they feel ashamed and you soon
become friends again. It is wonderful
how happy one feels when they have
overcome a great temptation and it is
at such a time as this that one feels
Tight hearted and young. Be temper-
ate, this does not allude only to the
stomach but oversdoing in any way
makes for premature age. That is, by
doing more work than you are able to
do, to give yourself justice. Do your
work properly for there is no pleasure
in things half done, but work well
done brings great pleasure and you
feel young and ready to go on and do
something else, When I say these
things I do not mean that we are to
do everything for ourselves or for our
own loved ones, but for any one who
needs our help. Do it, whatever it is,
with a willing heart and not as though
you had to, for there is more in how a
kindness is done than what you do.
A kindness done in the right spirit
gives the doer a lightness of heart
that makes them happy and young.
You must take good care of your
health for you need a healthy body,
Love•the open air. Fresh air is not
a fad, it is a necessity if oue would
keep young. Another way is to get
plenty of sleep for it is said that noth-
ing lines the face like nights of wake-
fulness. If you have a good night's
sleep you will awake refreshed and
rested and will feel ready for almost
anything. I think it is best to have
a reasonable amount of work to do
as it gives exercise to both body and
mind and you feel like singing.
Mingle with young people, take an
interest in all they say and do,
sympathize with them in their sor-
row, encourage them in the right
way and it is wonderful how much
younger you will feel. I know by
experience for I raised eight daugh-
ters. to young womanhood and we
were more like sisters than mother
and daughters, for I was always
among them, and even now I' some-
times wonder if it is possible that I am
so old for I do not feel very old.
Another way to keep young is to
cultivate a love for the beautiful,
there are so many things in the world
that are beautiful. In the summer
when you go into the garden it is
a great pleasure to work among the
flowers and it makes one glad to
think that God is so good in giving us
so many beautiful things to look at
and take pleasure in. While one is
lookingthe hearts r t, is filled with glad-
ness and gratitude to our heavenly
Father for all his goodness to us and
it makes one joyous and young. It is
said that a thankful heart is a receiv-
ing heart for which there is a con-
tinual feast, and it is so, for I have
proved it to he so many times in my
own like. Another way to keep young
is to.
beinterested i
nt
o hers, A selfish
person cannot feel either happy or
young gfor their thoughts are cen
tied
on themselves and if they do not get
their own way they will not beyoung
or happy either. If you have some
little troubles de not tell them to
others for the more yon tell them the
larger they grow and it does more
harm than good. to both parties. Do
not render yourself in om

may account for it by remembering
that the editor has been fighting—not

and one of our compositors has been
'completely in its clutches. 'There are
signs that the editor will win out in

Fatal Accident.
A fatal accident occurred on Friday
to an aged and highly respected
resident of Aberdour, near Ripley, in
the person of Mrs. Scott, who lived
with her daughter, Mrs. J. T. Wal-
lace. It appears that Mrs. Scott
started upstairs to secure some dress
trimmings, but took only a few steps
up when she suddenly fell backward,
striking the back of her head on the
floor. The unfortunate woman was
picked up in an unconscious state, and
medical aid sent for, but she did not
rally, and passed away on Saturday
morning.
Bring along your Shoes. We do
repairing and do it right.—W. J.
Greer.

Worth Trying,.
To clean painted walls, make a thin
paste of baking soda in a dish, using
cold water. Dip a moist sponge or
cloth in this and apply to painted
walls, Wash off with warm, thin,
soap suds, and dry with a clean cloth.
This is an excellent method, as it
leaves no streaks, and the walls will
look like new.

POOR FATHER.
Poor mother wears a worried look,
And sister wears a frown,
And if I venture up the stairs
They send me straightway down.
I'm going to the drug store now
Upon a hurried trip
To get some other kind of dope,
For father has the grip,
I bear him groaning in the night,
He said his head would split,
And then lie thought his back would
break
In just a little bit ;
Ile told us that hie legs were sore,
And soon it was his hip,
It seems that everything is sick
When father has the grip.
The doctor came to -day and left
Some capsules, and he said
To take one each three hours until
The pain bas really fled,
Said pa"That means twelve hours
before
I give this pain the slip
1'11 bet he'd find a faster dope
If he had got the grip."
And than he told mo that he thought
That he was going to die,
And ma says'"No, that isn't so."
And gave the reason why
Then pa got mad and told her that
He didn't want her Hp.
Oh, there's no comfort in our flat
When father has the grip.

Banker A. E. Smith and Assessor
Griffin each won as a prize recently
a large spinning top. Before they
had time to become expert enough
to have -a
>, e a t o� p,ptnnfng match, the
former presented his top to Geo.
Spotton, who plays with it by the
hone. It is very fascinating, and the
spectators enjoy seeing George amuse
himself so thoroughly. Lest any of
our readers should imagine that our
Mayor is neglecting the town's
interests in the absorbing amusement,
perhaps we ought to explain that it is
Geo, Spotton, jr., the "joy of the
Ma ors home"
that is having such
a
good time with the top.

During the blizzard on Tuesday of
last week, the Suspension bridge
across the Maitland, near the Fall
Fair grounds, was blown down.
When a winter storm of our day can
wreck a suspension bridge, no com-
ment on the severity of the blow
is necessary.

As the snow begins to pals, the
mounds of earth in the centre of
some of the streets are reminders of
the work that lies before the Street
committee during the coming sum-
mer. The sidewalks also, over ex-
cavations made for connections, indi-
cate necessity for repairs. The Coun-
cil acted wisely in holding back from
the contractors sufficient to leave the
streets and sidewalks in reasonably
good condition. But there will be
work before the Street committee.
Coon. H, B. Ellioitt, Reeve McDon-
ald and Coun. Mitchell compose the
committee, and will do their very
best with the money at their dis-
posal.

Last Saturday our boys journeyed
to Bluevale and net the "Wanderers"
in a hotly -contested game of hockey.
The game was called at 2.30, R. Ait-
cheson holding the bell. The ice was
in bad condition, but our boys soon
found their way through the slush and
scored the first 5 goals. But the
Bluevale boys then changed their
line-up and the rest of the game was
lively, the score at half-time being 5-0
in Belgrave's favor. The home team
then scored, while our boys netted
two more, making the score at
full time 7-1 in favor of Belgrave.
The lino up was : — Belgrave — N.
Stonehouse, goal; N. Ferguson,
point ; • W, Geddes, c, point ; Brandon,
rover ; Pop Geddes, centre ; 0. Geddes,
