Huron Old Boys, Toronto
Hold Annual Meeting
The annual meeting of the Huron
Old Boys' Association of Toronto
was held in the Auditorium of the
Y. M. C. A., .1 0 College St, on Thurs-
day evening, 20th inst., with a large
attendance of Old Boys and Girls,
representing every section of the old
county.
The reports of the chief officers
showed the Association to be in a
very flourishing condition, with the
brightest prospects for the future.
The -Goderich Centennial Celebra-
tion came in for a very large amount
of discussion and many complimen-
tary expressions were made towards
the committee in charge for the un-
qualified success of that big under
taki ng.
Much sympathy for Mrs. R. G.
King, Vice -President, was expressed
by 'the members of the association.
Mrs. King is confined in Wellesley
Hospital with a severe illness.
A representative committee was
appointed to apportion the grants to
be made to the different hospitals in
the county for the present year,

COSTLY CONTEMPT.
Sneering or Contemptuous Manner
Treated as Contempt.
Contempt of court does not mere-
ly ;man that you treat the court
or tile dispensers of Justice in a
sneering or contemptuous manner.
A laugh, exemt at the judge's
time -worn jeste, will bring the se-
vere rebuke, "If you are not careful,
sir, I will commit you for contempt
Di court," You also offend by pub-
licly disputing the learning or auth-
ority of the judge, or by ostenta-
tiously reading a newspaper in his
presence.
To avoid contempt and to obtain
a hearing, a barrister must not only
appear in court in a horsehair wig,
gown, and bands; he must also wear
a suit of sober color, black for pref-
erence, says a London. periodical. In
chambers, however, a judge cannot
summarily commit a person for con-
tempt; and it is not essential for
counsel to appear in robes, as in
court,
The late Sir James Bacon, while
sitting in court, would never listen
to a counsel wearing a white waist-
coat, despite the fact that he him-
self habitually wore on while sitting
as a vacation judge.
In England it is possible to com-
mit contempt out or court as well
as in it. To obstruct a witness oh
his way to give evidence, to threaten
him if he does glvo evidence, or to
destroy any letter or document after
the issue of the writ are serious
forms of contempt. It is not, how-
ever, mute:opt merely to tear up a

Wising of Stream Regarded as Por-
tent of Death or M.:thence,.
The death of a child in the Won
Walers, en int,rrnittent stream in
the Caterharn Valley, Surrey, Eng-
land, recalls the sinister hiatory of
the waters, which have figured In
loyal legends for 1111111y centlaries.
The first mention or the "Croydon
Bourne," 1114 it is sometimes called,
Is in Warkworth's "Chronicle," and
it refers to a rising of the stream
in 1473, which was regarded as a
mysterious portent of "death or pes-
, titenco or great battle,"
In the seventeenth century John
Aubrey expressed the View that it
two "upon the approach of some
memorable alteration in church or
etate"-and no doubt superstitious
people would have no trouble In as-
sociating the rising of the waters in
1927 with the controversbm over the
new Prayer Book or the Trade
Union
One notable example of the Row-
ing of Woe Waters was from Decem-
ber, 1659, to May, IISO, the year of
the Restoration, It preceded the
Plague of 1665 and the Revolution
of 1689, so that to a certain exteat
the omens seed to have hold the
balance impartially between times of
national rejoicing and Mourning.

Horses and men fell by scores, but
the survivors never faltered, not even
when they encountered the withering
fire from the battery in front of
them, and they hewed and hacked
their way beeween the guns, sabre-
ing the artillerymen as they passed.
Well back in the rear of the Ruee
siam guns the remnant of the Light
Brigade re-formed its decimated and
broken ranks, and once more charg-
ed through the Valley of Death back
to its starting point. Of the 607 men
who commenced that almost incred-
ible ride, which lasted twenty min-
ucee, only 11(8 returned, and although
they failed to accomplish the im-
possible task imposed upon them the
moral effect produced by their gal-
lantry put -weighed the irreparable
losses sustained in the execution of
the splendid piece of folly, which
will ever rank as one of the most
spectacular exploits in the annals of
the British Army.
