The spreading of a rail derailed the London & Bruce train No. 32, en route from Wingham to London, at Lucan Crossing at 9.20 Saturday morning and resulted in injnrci to half a dozen : tionmen who were in the baggag, sr when it turned over.

The tomb is waiting for us all, for every Jill and Jack,ethe baron in his stately hall, the pauper in his shack, the autocratic and the firand, the beauti- ful, the brave; and such thoughts come to me when I stand by Mrs, Pinkham's grave. A few shorty years—or maybe days, of earthly calnits and storms, and then the village cows will graze above our sleeping forms. ';A few short days —or maybe hours, in which man frets and fumes; the mourners then will strew their flowers upon otlr misfit tombs. A little while of grief or glee, to frolic and to slave; a little trip upon the sea whose harbor is the grave. So what's the use of buckling down with fiery, frenzied zeal, to corner all the coin in town, to nail each plunk and wheel? What shall it profit us to heap our coffers full of gold? It wont be with us when we sleep down in the church- yard mold. What shall it profit to deny the poor's appeal for aid? Go ask that man of wintry eye—the sexton with his spade. So while this earth we still in- fest, let's revel in good deeds; let's think less of the treasure chest and more of human needs; and when at last, of honors full, we've laid us down and died, the world will say, "They were all wool, and forty inches wide." WALT. MASON. Departmental Store Advertising. There are few editors in our Province who have not made a vigorous and con- tinuous fight against the city mail order house. This has been done in the interest of the home merchant and without money and without price. If the editors of the land received regular advertising rates for all they have said against these enemies of the country merchant, they would now be wearing diamonds. Now, the department store man appreciates adverti>ing space, and is willing to take all the editor has for sale and at a good price. What other class of business or professional men would refuse business to help their friends, especially as many of said friends never seem in the least dispos- ed to return the compliment? - Simcoe Reformer.
