SANCTUM. PARAORAPNS.
Rest ie not quitting the burp career.
Rest is the fitting of self to one's
sphere. -Selected
«er,
--England's greatest statesmen have
declared enthusiastically fur a general
arbitration treaty with the United
States. It is assured that this mo
rnentous compact will be entered into
soon. War is on the retreat and is
destined to be completely vanquished
in the fulness of time.

-It is claimed that Dr. Francis
Shaefer of Bakersfield, California, bas
discovered an anti -toxin for pnen-
rnonia; that it has been tried four
hundred times, with only four
failures, and these failures in eases
where the patient was in extremes.
„ * i
--A Bill to grant the franchise to
women in Great Britain is before the
British Parliament, and passed its
second reading by a majority of 107.
That there is considerable opposition
to the measure is evident from the
fact that a petition with 53,000 signa-
tures, bas been presented against the
proposal.
-Parry Sound Liberals have chosen
A, E. Bradwin, formerly of the
Blyth Standard, and son of Mr. and
Mrs. Jos. Bradwin of Wingbam, as
their candidate for the Ontario Legis-
lature. We can just imagine how
the breast of our townsman will swell
with pride, when his on joins the
mighty force led by Hon. A. G. Mc-
Kay in the Ontario Legislature.
-Mr. Prince, a member of the
House of Representatives of the Unit-
ed States, Tnakes it very clear that an
annexation sentiment lies behind the
desire of President Taft for Recipro-
city. Speaking recently,, Mr. Prince
said
"I say to our neighbors on the
north, be not deceived. Wben we
go into a country anis get control
of it, we take it. It is our history,
and it is right that we should take
it if we want it, and you might as
well understand it. The Speaker
so said ; the party back of him has
so said, and it does not deny that
that is its desire. Now let us see
whether the people of Canada be-
lieve in Reciprocity and annexa-
tion."
Rather saucy talk that for Mr. Prince
to fling at us, is it not ? It might
happen that Canadians would have
something to say before being gobbled
up, as Mr. Prince intimates, by the
.American eagle.

-Parliament will not sit all sum-
mer. The Opposition was prepared to
do so, but Mr. R. L. Bprden offered to
agree to adjournment on certain con-
ditions. After a somewhat stormy
z` Liberal canons, the Premier decided to
accept Mr. Borden's offer. Parlia-
ment will therefore adjourn, and Sir
Wilfrid will attend the Coronation of
King George. It wee probably the
'wisest course to adopt, though it
may have been somewhat humiliating
to the Government to accept the
proposition of the Opposition leader.
Mr. Borden has strengthened himself
and inspired his followers by his
'
tact in a rather difficult situation. As
the days pass, and the real trend of
the proposed agreement is revealed,
the less favor does it meet with
l
among the Canadian people. When
Parliament reassembles, the conflict
will be renewed, unless in the mean-
time, the vote in the United States'
Senate should be unfavorable. In
that case, the issue will be a thing of
the past.
-"The World's Work," an Ameri-
can well-known magazine, gives some
information relative to the question
of Reciprocity, and the number of
American industriesthat have come
to
Canada, The m
a azi
a referred to
argues that the Canadian policy has
been the means of sending 750 mann-
facturing establishments to Canada
in ten years, and adds: --
"In the little town of Welland,
Ontario, are 20 • manufacturing
nlnnts which have gone from the
'United States in the last ten years.
These include branches of the
Plymouth Cordage Company, of
Deere & Com anv
,

Cornpany, of the Itniteed Motors
from Detroit, and sixteen others.

TW3 TOWN COUNCIL.
An adjourned meeting of the Town
Council was held on. Wednesday even-
ing; members all present. A Corn,
munication . was received from the
Town Solicitor, stating that he and
Coun. Elliott had effected a settle-
ment with the Perth Contract Co„ on
these terms: -The Co, to. remove the
writ issued against the Town, and ac-
cept $400 as full settlement of all
claims against the Town. On motion
of Coun. Bone and the Reeve, the
settlement was indorsed.
On motion of Cones. Hall and Mit-
chell, the Court of Revision will con-
sist of the Mayor, Reeve, Couus. Bell,
Bone and McKenzie.
Coun. Mitchell moved, seconded by
Conn. McKenzie, that the Transient
Traders' By-law be amended by rais-
ing the fee for bankrupt stocks $150,
and that in case of business cbanging
hands, the parties be not considered
transient traders, if they leased a
premises for a year or more or put,
chased' property.
It was pointed out that the latter
clause might in some cases conflict
with the first. Coons. Bone, Bell, Hall
and the Reeve opposed the motion, as
a meeting to consider the question had
been announced by the Board of
Trade. Couns. McKenzie and Mitchell
thought the Oouuell quite capable of
dealing with the question without be-
ing dictated to by the Board of Trade,
Coun. Bone saw no reason for haste
as no ease was in sight. Coun, Ilall
said as a matter of courtesy to the
merchants, who wished the Board of
Trade to take it up, the Council should
defer action until after the meeting
announced had been held.
The Yeas And Nays being taken, the
motion was lost ;-Yeas-The Mayor,
Coons. McKenzie and Mitchell. Nays

Anniversary Day.
The anniversary of Wingham
Methodist Sunday School was held on
Sunday last. The day was line and
the attendance large at all the ser-
vices, which were helpful and inspir-
ing. Rev. F. Wootton of Stratford
preached morning and evening, and
rendered most excellent service. In
the afternoon appropriate addresses
were given by Rev. 13'. Wootton and
Rev. G. Victor Collins, pastor of
Wingham Baptist Church. It was a
pretty sight to see the children march-
ing in, led by their teachers, taking
their places quietly, at each service.
The singing was in charge of a large
Sunday School choir led by Mr. F. J.
Hill, and was wellrendered,showing
careful training. The report of the
Secretary shows faithful attendance
by • the teachers, and a total working
force of 490. The School has prospered
finely under the superintendency of
Mr. Buchanan, and the anniversary
was one of the best on record. The
largo platform was beautifully decor-
ated with palms, plants, flags and
bunting.

Trampled By Cow,
On Friday last, Mr. Thos. Forbes
met with an experience that be does
not wish to occur again. One of hie
cows had calved in the held, and he
undertook to take the calf away from
its mother,, The cow made a vicious
attack on hint, knocked him down,
and even knelt on him and tried to
gore him, Fortunately she had been
dehorned, or she might have killed
shim. As it was a fence, was neer, and
Mr. Forbes escaped through where a
board was off, but not until he bad re-
ceived some severe bruises, two brok-
en ribs, and a very badly injured
hand, Mrs. Forbes came to tide rescue
of her husband, and with a shovel as-
sisted in making the infuriated animal
desist,
Curfew In Clifford.
Tho ladies of the Women's Institute
presented a petition to the Clifford
council asking that the Curfew bell
by-law be enforced, and that loiterers
be removed. With both requests the
council took action; Arrangements
were made to have curfew ring at
0 o'clock p.m., and the constable was
instructed to carry out the provisions
of the by-law. The fine imported
upon parents and guardians persis-
tently allowing children under sixteen
years on the streets after nightfall is
severe for a third offense. The con-
stable will also strictly prosecute of-
fenders loitering on street corners,
especially on Sundays. There are
other places that might profitably
adopt a similar course of action.
Given Three Months. r,
Rowland Rusk, who came to Wing -
ham sometime ago and wo'rkcd a few
weeks with ex -Mayor Wm. Holmes,
ha beer`Iin trouble in London, and
was sentenced to 'three months for
wife desertion. Since he has been in
prison, she has sent hint • delicacy
after delicacy, and only yesterday she
induced the jail authorities to take
the man a pair of socks, which she had
knitted especially for him. The
magistrate said :-"I have given time
so that Rusk could give bonds to show
that ho would provide for the woman.
He has not done this. When he
goes to a place the first thing he does
is to join a ehurch. But nowhere has
his condudt been in accord with his
professions. He has been inhuman
to his wife and has done so little for
her that she will bo better without
him." Mrs. Rusk was a widow with
four children when she married to
this man.
Formerly Of Wingham.
>
There died in Blind River, Ont., on
Sunday, April 23rd, Robt. Richard
Lediett, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs.
Robt. Lediett, formerly of Wingham,
but now of Paris, and grandson of Mr.
and Mrs. Richard Rankin of this
town. Bert. was born and raised in
Wingham and was well and favorably
know, and his kind and genial manner
made for hire hosts of friends. .Ile

ago, where he followed his occupation
ofainter and decorator. About 7
p u
years ago he was married. to Miss
Barbara McLeod of Bruce Mines, who
with two small children aro left to

ed ones have the -sympathy of the
community. Deceased was 80 years
of age.
Musical Treat.
The concert given lest Friday even-
ing by the Baptist Church choir and
assisting friends was an event of the
season, scoring a distinct and decided
success. The excellent work of the.
cel 1
chorus gala) evidence of careful train-
ing and painstaking study. The cor-
rectness and richness of tone, the
quickness and precision of attack, and
the true and sympathetic interpreta-
tion of tho composers' Men', were
specially to be noticed. A strong fen.
lure was the full recognition of the
value of the tempos in the various
numbers and parts. Inthe individual
work of the principals, great credit is
due. Too much can scarcely bo ;said
theexcellent praise of excelle t work done
by lilies 1~aiquharson in the soprano;
Mr. Hill, bass, was at his 1,. st, while
Mrs. Beattie,contralto, was
never
heard to better advantage. The fine
impression made by Mr. W m. Ilayles,
tenor, in what may be called his first
appearance in public reflects' great
credit upon himself end is evidence of
the excellent training he has been re-
ceiving in connection with the Baptist
Church choir. The Angel's thorns
by Mise Farquharson, Mrs. Beattie
and Miss Gilchrist, Was rendered with
fine effect and the duet by Mrs. Beat-
tie and. Mr. Wm. Bayles was also
tnueb enjoyed. Altogether, the con-

Football Oame.

journeyed to Listowel last Saturday,
and put forth their best efforts to
bring the Bough Cup home, The
game was a good one, and resulted in
ascore of 2-1 in favor of Listowel.
The III. S. teachers accompanied the
team,and the boys were de-
feated,although all report a pleasant outing,
Serious Accident.
On Saturday last, Wm. Clendening,
who works with Andrew Mitchell of
Turnberry, met with severe injuries.
The team he was driving ran away ;
Mr, Clendening was thrown out and
the waggon passed over him, Several
of his ribs were broken and one lung
punctured, but at last accounts, Will.
was getting along nicely. He bas no
desire to repeat the experience.
Shop Early Saturday.
Why can't the stores close at ten
o'clock on Saturday evenings, and
thus give merchants and their em-
ployees a chance to get home before
the early hours of the Sabbath Day.
No doubt it is just thoughtlessness on
the. part of many. If possible, do
your Saturday shopping early. If you
must shop late, at least carry your
parcels home, and don't keep delivery
boys out until twelve o'clock.
Election Of Officers.
Wingbam Citizens Band. elected the
following officers at their annual

was good, and the efforts of the little
ones aero pleasing and effective,

t numbers that might be men-
tioned were; -The pantomime, in
whleh IIiss Vesss.nt posed, Mr. Hill
singing very softly and sweetly --
"Jesus lover of ray sold ;" also the
club awinging and the Virgins. The

ally well done and called forth repeat -
ea applause, A pleasing event`of the
evening was the handing of a purse of
gold, by the superintendent, Mr,
Buchanan, to Mr. 2!. J. 11111, as a
recognition of services rendered in
connection with the music of the
school. Mr, I1i11 was too tenth sus.
priced to reply at length, but briefly
acknowledged the remembrance. The
entertainment was brought to a close
br Mr. Barron putting a company of
hie Buy 5couta through their drIll,
and the singing of the National
An1b'hv
God is Love. Grace iesues from
love, divine in its origin and scope.
Ma.n proves it heaven -born because,
failing to apprehend it, he rejects it.
Grace is inexplicable on natural
grounds, as is the new birth, "Where
sin abounded grace did much more
abound." How sweet to have access
through bis grace, by faith into
sonship. "For by grace are ye saved
through faith ; and that not of your-
selves ; it is the gift of God."
The annual meeting of the teachers
and ofilcers of St. Paul's Sunday

said that the trouble between Rev.
Rural Dean Hill and the Church of
St. John the .Evangelist, London,
will come up for discussion. The
congregation has cut the rector's

pel'him to resign. The trouble arose
through Mr. Hill dismissing bis as-
sistant, Rev. C. E. Jeakins, formerly
of Wingham, Bishop Williams is
