letters received- from olcl boys and

Miss Alice J. Forrest:
Miss ADM Forest:
Dear Friend Allie:
I shall at last acknowledge
your very kind invitation to the "old
boys' reunion" of No. 7, and regret
most truly that I cannot be with you.
I remember passing through the "fal-
low and slashing" of what is now the
corner field of Cameron's farm befere
it was all chopped or fenced to where
three men were at work Minding the
old school house in 1869, as the
school used to be at Ducklow's cor-
ner before that. I also was present
at a concert given by the pupils in
the winter of '74 or "75, when there
wore so many present that their
weight broke the door down, ending
the entertainment in short order. I
attended during the winter of 187R-
'79, as a pupil and remember many
:funny little -occurrences, etc. I cer-
tainly spent a few very happy weeks
there end had many a hearty laugh.
My more immedite chums were W.
Cameron and 5. M. Robertson. lf
the latter should happen to be with
you, please remember me to him.
In 1907 I spent it few months tea-
ching before coming out here. Jes-
sie :Kenzie, Lillian Dark, B. McQuar-
rie, Viola Long, etc. were going.
Please remember me to them also.
Now, Attie, even in your sojourn
there, there have been many changes
but how many more since 1860!
Once more T express sorrow at
not being able to be with you at the
reunion, but I heartgy wish you all
a very glad meeting. and sincerely
hope all present may have the MIRY,
school time of their Hoots
With deep regard to yourself,
neighbors, and friends,
Tam,
Yours in friendship,
Jas, A. McLachlan.

-See'y of Cranbrook Reunion:
Dear Allie:—
We received your kind invi-
tation to the reunion some time ago.
We surely would like to be there, but
it seems hard for 08 to get away in
summer. We regret very much that
'we shall net be able to be there, but
our thoughts will be with you all the
sante.
No doubt you will have a. real
good tirne. You will likely see the
0reaSed

Quantity of Square and V -
Match ed Pine which we are of-
fering!at lowest current prices.
Thirty Doilar
Hemlock, We still have a .1
quantity of this to offer, Se-
ture it while it PitfiiS,
l'arquharsons there. Five of them
loft horn last week so they will re-
present Provost.
The boys are •fitie. Jack is almost
as big as Harold now. They liko to
go to the lake and get in the water.
We are quite lucky to be. near a
lake—one -seven miles away, and an-
other thirty miles. It is surprising
the number of people who go there
on Sundays.
Well, the last two days have been
extremely warm. Hope we get ram
. or things will suffer. Remember me
, to Mrs. McDonald.
I Hope. year reunion will be a real
success.
.Yours sincerely,
Mabel B. McDonald.

In the school minutes of 1877 was
t an item for tallow candle, 8 cents,
for school meeting.

Treasurer of the school section, was
the father of the late A. Reymann,
of Cranbrook.
I For a village Band,Brodhagen
Brass Band doesn't take a back seat
from any of them. They gave a
good program.
A. C. Dames, chairman, is one of
the oldest school boys in the section,
being seamy' to Charles Alderson,
who is the oldest school boy M the
district.
George Huether, F Raddatz and
Mrs. Ann Ritchie were interiritTd
spectators at the reunion. The three
are the oldest settlers in this school
district, The old boys and girls were
glad to see them present.
The Cranbrook school sertion
knows how to put up the "eats."
Everybody had enough except the
silos.
Dan Huether says the day passed
off just like it would have 40 years
ago. The old boys could see no clif-

The Committee worked hard and
if the weartherman had acted half
(Matti: all plans would have been
completed before the crowd arrived.
The Committee made a good move
when they put on rain insurance to
guard against los. However, the
afternoon and evening made it it suc-
cess.
During the evening a telegram
message was read from Rev. John
F. Knight, an old Cranbrook boy,
"Happiest greetings. Delayed by

1 BEASTS THAT FILTINDER.
Intinct of Beasts and Birds Often
Err.
People are always talking of the
eenses of beasts and birds. Yet in-
stinct often errs.
You would certainly think that in-
stinct would warn an animal against
poison, says a writer in a London
paper. Yet horses and cattle are
constantly killed by eating yew, saf-
fron, and other plants, while In
Americit the loco -weed is even more
harmful,
I have myself seen a hen pick 119
and swallow a rusty old gramophone
needle. The bird died and it num-
ber of these needles Were found in-
side her body. The other day I
watched my dog with a bone which
she did not want. For Salta time
she carried it about the room, then
at last laid it in it corner and went
through all the motions of digging a
hole and covering it up. Then she
left it, evidently ratite convinced that
It was safely hidden. I have seen a
tame souirrel do exactly the same
thing with nuts.
Another dog, a spaniel, having re-
trieved a shot rabbit, was bringing it
to me when he came to a fence. He
found a place where one paling was
missing and tried to push his Way
through the gap, He pushed with
all his might, but the rabbit, held
crosswnys in his month, prevented
his passage, and it never occurred to
him to drop his burden and carry or
pull it through endways.
Newly -hatched caterpillars have an
little sense that they will starve to
death on the merest skeleton of a
mulberry loaf instead of leaving It
for a fresh leaf close alongside. And
for centuries small birds have "mob-
bed" the cuckoo under the impres-
sion that it is the hawk.
. - -
Division of Year Into Months. .
Perhaps not every one is familiar
with the reason why all months of
the year have not the same munoer
of days, Month really means "moon,"
and oniginally stood for the time
from one fun moon to the next. As
man pr.ogressed a little, lie began to
take account of the year And to di-
vide this second standard cif reckon-
ing into so many months, Since,
however, the moon goes round the
earth in 29 clays, so many hours,
minutes and eeconds, while the true
year consists of about 195 days and it
hit, the sumwouldn't oxitctly divide
PrePerly, anti the ettlendar aot into
liorwiess con fusion. t t h Is

the most learned men of his day, and

said. "A good Idea, that! I watt Only

Much obliged."
"I do hope you will go straight
when you are free," said thls "visitor"
to another prisoner. His reply was
that he would, which pleased the
"visitor." Then he added, "Yes, 111
go straight—to the nearest 'pub'!"
"Hope you. don't naind me coming

prisoner.
"Not a bit" was the cheery reply.
"I'l do the Same for you, and glad

ANIMALS AT SEA
Rough Night 01.1 Watt Carrying Cattle
Clan Provide Many Thrills.
To he in charge of animals on a
sea voyage is sometimes a perilous
as well as an uapleasant task, Por,
unlike human beings who, on the ap-
proach of sea -sickness, evince a dis-
eau desire to die, dumb creatures
often display a violent deoire to live.
A rough night on a boat carrying
O cargo of cattle can provide many
thrills. and. u1 liappil:t. a number of
1.4,Tota.
It is fortunate, however. that white
Cattle are the inoa0 usual live -stock
carried by sea, they are also tho most
heroic of all creatures in a storm,
showing a stoical determination to
conquer the devastating powers of
sickness.
Some animals do not feel the ef-
fects of a journey by sea in the same
way as others, and while some are 111
during the whole of the trip, others
quickly become used to their new
home, and flourish.
The worst sailor of all is sald to
be the tiger, while the only one that
can be described as being really com-
forto.b1^ on board ship is the Polar
uretr.
Horses aro great sufferers at sea,
as every cavalry man knows, and they
frequently die from the effects of sea-
sickness.
Birds, reptiles, monkeys, and other
small animals stiffer in varying de-
grees, but, in comparison with the
bigger creatures, they are much bet-
ter sailors. Thousands of these little
travellers are brought to our ShOreit
each year,. and on an average the
casualties are fairly small.
Sometimes. of course, scores of
birds will die r 4elrir Stages
of 0 voyage, hut that is not always
actually caused by sea -sickness. More
often it is a disease that is spread
among them by one Infected member
of the batch; or it nia.y be a com-
plaint brought on by being confined
In necessarily elose quarters,
When OnCe a diSeaSe is established
in a cargo of birds, numbering Into -
(reds or perhaps thousands, there Is
little hope of many being landed
alive.
A reduction in the price of tires
which will average not less than
12 or 15 per cent, and which may
even go as high as 25 per cent., is
expected at any time by Canadiait
wholesale and retail tire dealers.

The purchasing public is daily becoming
greater readers of advertisements.. The reason
for this is that they profit by so doing. They
find the goods they want described in the right
tnanner. It is news to the purchaser,
That being the case, it behooves the wide-
awake and straight -dealing merchant to study
his advertising matter carefully, so that when
the 'customer comes in to buy, he or she will find
that the goods are as represented,
Those who do not read advertisements are
losers, Make it a part of your reading to go
over the advertisements of the merchants. By
so doing you will know where to find the best
bargains. Also you will learn whether the goods
are as represented.
Merchants are studying the needs or their
eustomers. Buy from the man who advertises
and you will not go astray.
