¶ ¶ ¶ ¶
The scene is laid in a little village
community, , where ,community lite'
centres about the church, and •the
chief `characterin the play is the
minister. He and his• wife have
ideas about, introducing improvements
centre, with
i ement e
anaims
suchas ,
of ainea
facilities for the playing g
etc., to interest the young people, but
the farrers cannot be made to see
that times have changed at all and
cannot understand why the young
folk do not. -find their main amuse-
ment
in saving money. Their chief
cry, when anything in the way of
improvement is suggested •is, "I
Can't Afford It." Finally a visitor ar-
rives atthe home of the preacher and
he, seeing how ' matters stand' and
•wishing to, help his -old college friend,
makes rather a bold - plan to• show
how readily. „a smooth-tongued stran-
ger.idan talk these thrifty farmers In-
to purchasing mining stocks. They
hand ' over their thousands without
destion' in the' hope of
qgetting a
•o
large return from some far -off^ -gold •
mine. Trouble begins when it is
discovered that the gold -mine man i&
gone, together with their money, and
the angry"investers raid the home of
the minister to demand information
about the whereabouts of his friend
Ile, poor man, is as badly -in the danh
as anybody. He didn't even knot*
that his old friend had any mining
stock to sell. He. tries to pacify his
friends by tell±ng them that the run,
away will return and that their mons•
,ey will be forthcoming, but he is anx-
ibris. A young Irish girl, with whom
his friend had fallen in love during
his stay in the minister's house and
Who•was much in love with him, re-
mains true and stoutly maintains
that her lover is not a rascal. "A
month later Hartley returns and it
is only/the influence of the minister'
that prevents him' receiving rough
treatment by the angry snob. They
come in, however, and the minister
asks his friend for an explanation of
his :conduct: Ile explains that their
money is safe, he hasn't spent -a. cent
of it. Ile tellsthemthat while they
seem to have money to put into wild-
cat presented
eat schemes p r to
them by
strangers they never have any money
to assist in worthy causes in the
community or to procurg comforts for
their wives and families and tells
them that ,he will return them their
money on condition that they make
out cheques for the amounts in fa-
vor of their wives. This they do,
very much under protest; and all
ends happily. "Biddy," the Irish.
girl, is justified in her faith in her
'lover, the minister is glad to find that
his old college friend is as trust-
worthy as he had believed him to be,
the young' folk are happy that their
mothers will have command of some
cash, which they believe will not stick
go -tight to theirs fingers, while the
old farmers are glad, to have the
money back in the family, anyway:
Mr. T. J. Lindsay, as the minister,
looked and acted the pant well. In
fact, he made a very realistic -looking
parson;. and Miss Elva Nott made a
vivacious and 'charming little wife
for him.
Mr. J. McKnight acted the "stern
father" who wouldn't allow his son
to. have anautoiinobile'or tofool a=
Way . his time at manes. l His "son
gets ahead of him 't times, however.
Mr. ;Fred Nott, as Andrew Bone-
head, -the "tightest" farmer of them
all, west the lnost averse: to "handing
over" to his wife.

DEATH OF MRS. (DR) TAYLOR
FIFTY YEARS IN • MINISTRY
On Sunday morning last a special
service was: held in North street
church, Goderich, in honour of the
fiftieth anniversary of the entry in-
to the ministry, of the Rev. J. E.
Ford, who is 'retired and is connected
with that Congregation.. After the
opening exercises, after a few words
by the pastor, the.Rev. ,J.; E. Holmes,
the congregation rose and the choit.
led in singing the doxology. Mr.
Ford. gave the address, recounting
some experiences of his ministry. Itis
parents came to this country• from
n i � 1832,settling in the lit-
tle
ng
England
tle hamlet which is now Peter•boro
and his father and mother were mem-
bers of the ,first Methodist "class"
organized there.. There Mr. Ford
was born and spent bis youth. He
told of the circumstance leadingrip
to his entry into the ministry. His
ambition being to go into journalism,
he spent some time with the old Pe-
terhoro Review, prior to going• into
the ministry. "I am still interested
in newspapers;' he said, "and still
love the smell of a printing office."
Mr. Ford spent forty-two years in the
active ministry and on his retirement
settled in Goderich. He is by no
means• idle, however, as he is inter-
ested in many public matters and a
member of several executive boards
in town. He can, also, preach just
as good a sermon as ever he did.
Mr. Ford was for three years pas -
,tor of Wesley church, Clinton, and he
and his charming wife are beloved by
many here.

"WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK"
Some e
xcitement was caused off
Monday forenoon when Mr. McTag-
gart's English Bulldog and My.
H. Watt's Boston -Bull• came to grips
in main street. It looked for a few
minutes as if it were a case o£ "what
we have, we'll hold," with no give on
either side and spectators began to
gather. The Boston Bull seemed to
be getting the best of it but there
was still no. letqup of thee bulldog
grip when Mr. 'McTaggart came out
of Fair's with his paper and, seeing
the situation,` he strode out and
caught his dog, somebody got hold
of the other one and they were drag,
ged apart.,. It was exciting while it
lasted.
Mr. Bert Langford has had his va-
cant lot aleaned,up, ploughed' and has
sown it to barley. .He will also have
a garden in one corner. This, too,
will be an improvement over the last
few years, as nothing,gives such an
untidy appearance to a town as un-
cultivated, weedy, vacant lots scat-
tered, about, and when they happen
to hate remains of old buildings
b
strewn about, so much the worse.
Mr. Langford offered the town the
use of this lot as a parking place for
car's, and it would make a good one,,
with an entrance or?both Huron incl„
Mary streets, but the council did not.
see its way to clearing 'and fitting it
up.
If Mr. Langford sees fit to go a-
bout it, though, he can have enough
fine vegetables to serve him all next
winter,' from the • rich soil of; that
lot.
