LETTER FROM MR. EWEN4.
The following letter was received
from Mr. Oharles M, Ewing, M. A., o€
Toronto, in reply to a gold watch fob
sentto him by the students of the
Wingham High School as a slight
expression of their admiration for bio
during the two years ho has been their
teacher of Classics, Mr. Ewing left
for his home earlier than was expected
and therefore the students did not
have the pleasure of presenting the
gift in person.
Toronto, Ont., July 5th, 1015,
My dear Studeptst
"I was deeply touched by the receipt
of the beautiful fob you have so kindly
sent me as a parting gift, l cannot
tell you bow much I appreciate it. It
is charming in itself, and it is still
more charming because it has come
from you. Wherever I go it will be a
constant reminder of the kindness and
sympathy I received at Wingham
High School.
It was always my aim, when in
Wingham, to be something more to
you than a mere instructor. Some-
times, it is true, I was deeply con-
scious of my failure in this respect,
But if I have won the friendship of
my late students then I shall feel that
none of my efforts were in vain, and
this beautiful present is therefore a
great source of encouragement to me,
Before closing I should just like to
say that a fob is just the article I had
long wanted, and had long promised
myself, but never obtained. and for
that reason it is doubly welcome to
me, It may be, too, that it will be
my companion amid somewhat stormy
scenes. for but three clays ago your
old teacher took the somewhat• drastic
step of entering the "vita militaries."
With warmest thanks,
Yours most sincerely,
Charles M. Ewing,

MAKE; 0001 THEIR ESCAPE
The fellawing is clipped from the
Imperial Valley Press, El Centro, Cal,
and refers to Mies Bertha Krotz, who
clerked in Wingham a couple of years
ago, and was a favorite:
Mr, and Mrs. Clifford Hartson have
made good their escape from a pur-
suing w0d band of Dokies and are in
biding in some mountain or other re-
treat between Campo and Seward,
Alaska,
The fact is that the young lady in
question was not Mrs, Hartson until
an early hour yesterday morning. Up
to that time she was Mies Bertha
Krotz of Canada, who passed the win -
tee here with her brother, Harry
Krotz.
The young oouple were to have been
married yesterday by Rev, McAmond
of the M. E. church, and there was to
have been a wedding dinner, tu. which
a few guests had been invited,
Receiving a hint that a band of rov-
ing Dokies might interfere with the
program, the prospective groom bribed
the pastor to get out of bed at the un•
earthly hour of 4:30 in the morning,
the ceremony was soon performed and
the young couple fled by auto across
the burning desert sand.
The Dokies learning too late of the
trick, gave chase, and attemped to
intercept them at Campo, but the
wily "Jeff" bad taken to a switehoff
somewhere this side of Campo and
had made good their escape.
The wedding dinner was.spread and
the guests made the best of the ab-
sence of the bride and groom.
