nt THE PICTURES. '
The Home and School Chib, 'having
arranged tohavean art exhibitin
the St, Paul'school Jeken this week,
it is on now, the evenings of Dec.' 2nd,
3rd and 4t11, at seven -thirty. Twb
hundred copies of great masterpieces
of the world's art aye en exhibition
and a look at them will be -well worth
while."a•One would have to visit all
the art galleries in the world to See
the originals, the possession of one of
which would render one fabulouslY
These are .but copies, of course, but
a number of them are in the original
colors, and give an. idea of the orig.,-
inal. These picture are for sale and
the ?proceeds from the sale and from
admission to the,exlitlait will be used
by the Club to procure pictures for
the school.
WHAT ABOUT HOCKEY?
The -prospect of • having a hockey
team in the 0. H. A.; this season does
not seem very- bright just at present.
During the past season a number of
the best players have removed been
town, going to Norrnal or to Univers..
ity. It would seem, however that ae
town or church league might be
formed as enough members .of the
former team are here to act as train-
ers. Why not organize four teams,
from the different churches or from
the four wards or .something of the
kind, get down to practise and thus
have some good winter sport
The forming of a town league
would give a. larger number of boys
an opportunity of participating in the
sport and it certainly is better for a
boy to play a game than itand
watch some other boys. play it. This
would also serve to train players for
another season, when a team might
be entered hi the 0 H. A. Better get
up some teams, !boys, and he ready
when the ice forms. •
It is orobable that Goderich will
also form a town league and later on
town and town games might be ar-
ranged.

J. R.'S CHOICE.
Mr. John Ransford is an English-
man, as anyone who knows him is
aware. But he, evidently admires
Scottish poetry as" in yesterday's
Globe we note he gives as his idea of
the most beautiful and pathetic por-
tion of poetry the following lines
from Burns' Auld Lang Syne: ;
"For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld la= syne.
We'll take a cep o' kindness, yet,
For auld Tang syne."
We have not asked Mr. Ransford
whether'the mention of the "cup o'
kindness" had anything to de with
this choide, and it ziay not have had.

Indeed, many articles have already

displays of 'Very attractive goods and
the prices, we feel sure, if compared
with others of equal valee, will also
prove attractive. Anyone passie•g
over what Clinton merchants have to

value for their money and also to en-
courage the local merchants to carrY

the home of Mr. Geo. Cowan. About
sixty young people were present and
the thne passed very pleasantly. The
most interesting feature of the even-
