FAST SToog.-Four weeks ago there
was dropped upon John E, Sweets'
fano, two miles out of Wingham, a
foal that has the fastest speed inherit-
auce of any hetmen horsy that was
eve'• foaled in the Dominion of Puna -
da. This precocious youngster is by
Hal B. Js„ 2,03, the fastest pacing
stallion ewer' foaled in 'Penedo, and its
dans is no less than Darkey Hal. 2.02F
the fastest Mare ever fouled' in this
country. The illustrious baby is a
brown filly and in the opinion of a
local expert who hadthe privilege of
seeing it the other day, is one of the
best looking things of its kind that
has yet appeared. Mr. *warts'
who
owns the filly and her dam, Darkey
Hal, has named the newcomer,
Louise Hal, in honor of his wife.
Darkey Hal, by the way, will never
be raced again, in fact, according to
her owners present plans, she will
never be harnessed again. The mare
looks fine at the present time and it is
Mr. Swans' intention to keep her for
breeding purposes.

°ALL PROM ARMOW.- Rev. D. 13,
McRae, the well known and highly
esteemed pasta' of Knox church here
for the past 36 years, has received it
uuatniruons call . from Chalmers'
church, Arnow congregation, Bruce
Presbytery. There is just one con-
gregation, and they offer $900 •salary
and a glebe of 6 acres. Maitland
Presbytery will meet on the 26th
iust., to deal with the call. Rev. Mr.
McRae has had Ethel as well as
Cranbrook on his charge here and has
served faithfully and well as the
years have gone by. His work and
that of Mrs. McRae and family will
live long in the memory of those who
have been associated with the re-
spective congregations. If the
reverend gentleman accepts the call
to Armory it will be with the
thought of having less driving and
ministering to one congregation in-
stead of two. Arnow is located 5 or
6 miles from Kincardine. Few men
can spend over 86 years on one chargge
and wear es well as Rev. D. B. Mc-
Rae. His friends are legion and not
by any means confined to his own
charge. Many would regret his re-
moval.

DD.- James Patter, one of the
oldest settler's in this locality, owning
a faun in East Wawanosh, nn the
outskirts of the town, passed away
on Sunday morning. Very few people
knew that he was so seriously ill.
Those left to mourn hien are four sons
and one daughter, who all reside in
this locality, with the exception of
one sen who is practicing medicine in
the United States. His wife pre-
deceased hint some years ago. The
deceased was an active member of
the Anglican church, and in politics a
Conservative.
The anniversary of the Presbyterian
church took place on Sunday evening
last, and as the weather was fine there
was a large attendance at both ser-
vices, especially in the evening, when
the church was packed on account of
the Methodists closing their eburch.
Rev, Mr. Abraham, of Guelph, oc-
cupied the pulpit, and preached two
splendid sermons making a good im-
pression on the congregations. The
choir also was assisted byMrs. (Rev.)
J. L. Small, of Hespler, and a
quartette. The collections hardly
reached the amount asked for by the
management.
Walton
C. P. R. station agent McKay and
wife are away holidaying at Toronto
and Detroit. Mr, Miller, of Streets-
ville, is relieving.
Walton will supply the groom for a
nearby matrimonial event and some
other gents are thinking very serious-
ly along the stone line.
The new 'system of retorting trains
by telephone instead of telegraph is
now in vogue on the 0. P. R. and
seems to work satisfactorily.
The Women's Institute will hold
their nett meeting in the A. 0. U. W.
Hall Wednesday of next week, at 3
p. m. Rev. Mr. Lundy will give an
address on "Patriotism," after which
the young ladies will servo lunch.
An interesting time is promised.

A Profitable Dairy Farm.
A fat mer in South Western Ontario:.
recently sent between fourteen and
fifteen hundreds of cream to a cream-
ery in one week. This would yield
him better than $130. He says that
00458 pay hint better than anything
else, especially in the Winter, as the
price is then at its highest. If this
can be done in one disrriet why not in
every one? 1t can if the farmer is so
encouraged to keep first-class cows.
Up to the present the farmers of this
district have had no encouragement,
but that is a thing of the past.
The Wingham creamery veil be run-
ning all Winter. Get cows that will
be milking all Winter when you have
plenty of time to care for them prop-
erly. Keep your test above 25 and
patronize the Wingham creamery,
the one that encourages the farmer.
We are now paying 31 cents a pound
for butter fat. If oto' wagon is not in '
your district write us and we will
make arrangements to collect your
cream.

A Word of Friendly Admonition
To the Editor of Tam POET
DEAR SIR. -Kindly allow me space
to voice a word of complaint, which I
feel is merited at the present time. -
Last Sunday was World's Temperance
Day in the Sabbath Schools, which
day was fittingly observed in Brussels.
I am firmly convinced that on such
occasions as these much may be done
and is accomplished towards educat-
ing the rising generation as to the
awful woe and misery that fall to the
lot of those who become the prey of
intemperance and all its allied evils.
The Sabbath School workers in Brus-
sels are alive to the situation and do
all in their power to properly educate
the children under their care on this -
vital question. This, I know from ex-
pressions of a few of the teachers and
the truth of such an assertion un-
doubtedly appeals to every one of
them, but there is one discouraging
feature in their work and it is to it I
wish to refer. In the coming years
the standard of the moral life in this
community and in the Nation at large
depends immeasurably on the amount
of emphasis whichis laid on character
building in the present day and gen-
eration. The Sunday School, as the
supreme agent of the Christian
church, is doing its utmost but it is
seriously handicapped because it has
not the hearty sympathy and co-opera-
tion of every parent in this all-import-
ant work. Primarily, the heads of
families are responsible for the kind of
men and women to which their
children will develop and they must -
remember that the standard of the
moral life of the boys and girls of to-
day is not going to be uplifted by their
careless and indifferent attitude to-
ward those things which tend to 10.
Spire the youth with nobler ideals of
citizenship. The Sunday School can
wield a powerful influence for good
but its power is materially lessened
when the thoughts on right living ex-
alted before children for one short
hour every week are not reflected in
some degree in the lives of their par-
ents during the intervening period.
This has not been written at random,
I know whereof I speak. I know that
statements made by scholars during
the discussion period on last Sabbath's
lesson support the truth of that which
nave written. Parents, 1 ask you
are you doing your duty in this re-
gard
Thanking you, Mr. Editor, I beg to
remain,
A FRIEND OF THE SUNDAY SOHOOL.
