An hotel "boots" recently left $40,- 000 to be divided among his fellow- werakers. He had saved the whole of this sum from tips given .lmlm bY guests, Fortunes like this are by no means rare among people whose work brings them into close contact with the travelling public. A -certain railway porter decided, early in life, to put by half of the money he reeelved in gratuities. Within a few years he had accumu- lated enough to set his wife up. in a good -class millinery business. From the profits the couple have now saved enough to retire. Cash tips are not so valuable as the financial advice people "In the know" sometimes give as a reward for services rendered. 'trusted ser- vants in big houses often benefit by this kind oratip. A peer's butler, who died recently, left 213,000. When he entered his master's service the but- ler's savings were small, but the peer gave him such valuable advice about investments that his little nest -egg gradually grew into a fortune. The luckiest of all tip recipients are liner stewards. One of them re- cently left £24,000, and a tip of 210 Is not uncommon at the end of a few days' voyage, One steward will look after seven or eight tables, and dur- itig a year may pick up six or seven hundred pounds in addition to his pay. The smoke-romn steward has au envied job. In addition to any Wrap sum a passenger may give at tbe end of a voyage, the smoke -room steward is frequently told to "keep the change." He is not so lucky as formerly, however. Most ships run a daily sweepstake in which the winner has to guess the exact distance the ship has run during the day. The pool may amount to hundreds of pounds, and at one time the smoke-roona stew- ard was allowed ten per cent. of this as a perquisite. The practice has now been abolished. Financial advice can be picked up fnore easily by liner servants than by any other class. Big men of the fin- ancial world are constantly travelling to and from Europe, and a word from one of then: inay he worth a fortune. One steward happened to overhear the name of a particular share that two magnates were discussing with great earnestness. As soon as he landed in England the steward rush- ed to a. stockbroker and invested all his capital in those shares, The In- vestment turned out as the steward had hoped, and the value of the shares increased four -fold within ten days. Officers, as well as stewards, bene- fit by financial tips picked usi from passengers. They have more opine, tunity of doing so, since they mix with the latter on equal terms. A case came to light recently of a ship's officer who, at the age of forty, was penniless. During, the next twenty years 110 made 11 fortune by speculat- ing on Information acquired from passengers,. At the age of sixty his capital brought hini in $5,000 a year. History in Granite. Two hundred and forty granite landmarks stretching from the Swiss frontier to the sea -coast of Belgium indicate the limit of the enemy ad- vance in the war. Seven of these are in the Ypres salient, and the Ypres League, at the invitation or the Belgian Government, has provided the stones. They are four feet high, and each is surmount- ed by a carved representation of the "tin hat," On each is Inseribed in English, French, and Flemish the nbrase: "Here the invader was brougbt, to a standstill." The League ham also erected forty landmarks on sites which became famous during the fielding In Flan - tiers. Each is an Iron post bearing the name by which the place was known to the troops engeged, Some of the names which have become hu - mortal, like "Sanctuary Wood" and "Kitchener Wood," have a curious origin. The latter has no emmeetion with the name or Me :treat flold mar - :Mal, but is a soldier'e translation of Ite real name, Bois de Cuisinter.

PRESBYTLRY OF HURON ACCEPTS ALLOCATIONS Seventy Thousand Dollars To Be Raised During The Corning Year The Presbytery of Huron Met ha conferences in St. Andrew's church, Blyth, last Thursday. with RON'. G. Telford, Chairman, presiding, In spite of inclement weather, the at- tendance was Barge, The forenoon session WAS -largely occupied with routine business. The presbytery noted with deep regret the sudden death in October of James Mitchell, of Goderich, and an expression of condolence was pent to the surviving relatives. Rev, J. R. Peters, of Dun- gannon acted as press reporter for the Presbytery. Rev. Selby Jefferson, of Goderich, spoke on the question: "What do we expect the United Church to do for its ministers and members?" He em- phasized the enlargement of oppor- tunities that the Union offered, and that elimination of overlapping would enable resources to go further. After the luncheon interval, the Presbytery re -assembled to be ad- dressed by Dr. D. C. McGregor, of London, who was received with pro- longed and hearty applause. For over an hour he spoke to an eager audience on the new outlook of the church, He declared that the peril of the east lay in being submerged in materialism and militarism. Euro- pean nations were still to a very great extent dominated by self in- terest, and in the face of this danger the church was called to action, or the east might become a deadly men- ace. Turning to Canada, Dr. Mc- Gregor outlined some of the problems facing the nation, problems of geo- graphy, race and language, religion and special interests. He declared that the solution of these problems rested with a church alive to its re- sponsibilities. The budget allocations, totalling $70,000 for the Presbytery, were ap- proved. The boundaries of charges commission gave a detailed survey, recommending several changes and re -groupings amongst the charges. THE OLD HOUND I'heard the old hound bay last night Along the wooded hill— The moonlight washed the earth in white Sweet magic, hushed and still, Like haunting memories, fraught with pain. Across the early dew, I beard him strike old trails again That once he ran with you. All summer nights he dreams away, And tedious summer days: But when the winds of autumn sway The fronds of autumn haze, He leaves his watch across the door, And through the falling dew He runs the old, old trail once more That once he ran with you. Is it a whistle calls him out That none but he can hear? Or does he dream of boyish shout That once he held so dear? I know not—but his clamor floats Across the early clew, The fire of rapture in hie notes, Where once he ran with you. —Carolyn M. Lewis, In New York Times. 0. T. A. CONVICTIONS IN HURON POLICE COURT Three Jail. Sentences in October Registered in Court of Huron County Huron County police com, report for the month of October allowed more than an average number of cases dealt with, 36 informations be- ing on the blotter. Of these cases, 16 were registered as convictions, and 17 as adjournments, with 8 dismissed. A total of $640 in fines was collected, largely under the 0. T. A., which pro- duced 24 of the cases. This record is a decrease of three eases and $341 in fines from last October, when 39 eases were dealt with and $681 in fines. Three jail sentences were included in the convictions, one of 18 months to 2 years being the longest, that for the highwayman who ravaged the district during the slimmer.

Fully seventy-' five nien were present from all parts of the Deanery. The Rev. Canon Gould, D. D., gen- eral secretary of the M. S.

Short addresses were also given by E. Douglas Brown, chairman of the evening, Rev. S. S. Hardy, rural dean of Huron, and others.

Not a lit- tle amusement has been occasioned by the innovation. The invention consists of a pair of white arms in the shape of wings affixed to the policeman's shoulders.
