FRUSTRATED' DUEL BETWEEN
NOBLEMEN
It seems a curious preoccupation,
but the fact is that Sir Claude Cham-
pion de Crespigny is trying .to revive
duelling in England. He maintaine,
that it is a gentleman's only proper
recourse in certain condiaions, and
his strong desire is to face his cousin,
Lord Kenyon, on a field with a broad-
sword or a pistol in the hand of each.
He has tried repeatedly to have Lord
Kenyon consent to a meeting, but
Lord Kenyon simply says that the
idea of a duel in these days is absurd
and declines to be inveigled, despite
all the blandishments of his elderly
cousin. Sir Claude is advancing to-
ward the eighties, and -his kinsman
is a generation younger. Lord Ken-
yon is also an extremely large and
well nourished man. Sir Claude is
rather small. These physical facts
make the prospect no more inviting
to Lord Kenyon, arid he insists, that
it would be foolish to fight a duel
nowadays. On his behalf, and through
Lord' Lonsdale, who has acted for
him in the futile negotiations' which
it was hoped would lean to blood-
shed, it has been said that duelling
is iinla-wful, and that Sir Claude, for
having sought to bring about a meet-
ing, has left himself open to prose-
cution.
The trouble between the cousins
is ef long standing, and had its
origin in a will drawn by Lord Ken-
yon's grandfather. It practically
disinherited two of the daughters
and enriched a third, who happened
to be the mother of the earl. The
de Crespigny 'nranch of the family
was ignoted. The ill -feeling engen-
dered by this episode led to Sir
Claude writing a certain letter to an
unnamed person. Lord Kenyon
,
Kenyon, however, is past the atime
of life when men are expected to be
efficient soldier, and it is not dis-
concerted by the action of Sir
Claude. , (
The latter, however, made his dis-
approval more manifest on an occa-
sion when there were hung in a pub-
lic gallery pictures of several gen-
erals, colonels and others , who
had served in the war.' The picture
which occupied the most ,room, by
reason of the bulk of the subject,
was that of flord Kenyon. 'Upon his
breast w re many decorations, none
iu
of whic had been won under a
German ' n. Sir Claude expostu-
lated with ,the governors who dis-
played this picture and said that
Lord, Kenyon had never been in any
war, enen, when wars had occurred
at a time when he might be sup-
posed to be hi the full tide of his
manly powers. The thought had
crossed his mind, he said, that Lord
Kenyon objected to wars. It being
inconceivable that any kind of war
would be disagreeable to a Man in
whom some de Crespigny'lalood flow-
ed, he deterndned that he would ar-
range a war for Lord Kenyon that
would gratify the most whimsical
taste.. His idea was a private war
consisting of either broadswords,
rapiers or piatols. It is easy to
laugh at Sir Claude Champion de
Crespigny,)and a good time to laugh
is when he is not looking.

THAMES ROAD AND KIRKTON
HONOR DR. FLETCHER
Semc Sixtp:hree or four yeses ago
Rev. John Logie, nyielster of War-
rensville, commenced to Agive occas-
ional servic.!s to the feW Presbyter-
ians settled a;ong ilie Thanice Road,
preaching be the old scheel house
About the same -gime Rev. John Foth-
eringharre of Hibbert, started to
give services to the Presbyterians in
the district that is now called Kirk -
ton. Under the fostering care , of
these pioneer ministers the stations
prospered and soon preceeded
erect stone churches which the proud
masons claimed would outlive the
pyramids. The Kirkton stone church
is still standing_without a sign of im-
pairment. The Thames Road churnIsa
• had to give way to he pretent fine
structure that has replaced it.
In 1864 the two stations were uni-
ted into one charge. - Soon after
wards the Rev. Henry Gracey, just
graduated from Knox College, was
called and settled as their first min-
ister. After a happy and fruitful
par<orate of over thirteen years, Mr.
Gracey was called to Gananoque,
where after a long ministry he now
lives retired, hale and hearty. The
Rev. Colin Fletcher just fresh from
Knox College, succeeded Mr. Gracey
in the pastorate of -Thames Road and
Kirkton, congregations.
Now after the unusually long pas-
torate of fertnetwo years Dr. Fletcher
is retiring, holding the affectionate
esteem of the whole community. It
was felt that the occasion should be
specially marked. Nov. 21 -24 ----wee
chosen as the dates. For the Sun-
-day services, two of the old boys of
the eongregation, Dr. Turnbull and
Dr. Ramsay, preaehed in both church-
es very able and most appropriate
sermons. While this charge has had
but two ministers, over a score' of
ministers have gone from its fold.
On Monday evening at Thames
Road a sumptuous banquet of fowl,
pie, cake etc., was served to a large
crowd of, happy people. Dr. Ratcliffe,
of -St . Catharines, Mr. Fletcher's
room -Mate -at college, made an effi-
cient chairman. Felicitous- address-
es were given by Ws, Turnbull and
Ramsay, and Rev. Mi. McAllister and
Rev. sgr. Foote of Exeter. The Clin-
ton male quar'tette rendered with
good effect, several selections of
choice Music, while Mrs. Garnet
Passmore delightad all with her reci-
tations.
On Wednesday evening the celebra-
tion in the Kirkton church was a
very happy and enjoyable one. Mr.
James More was in the chair. Ad-
dresses pleasing and humorous were
given by present and fermer mem-
bers of the congregation and by Dr.
Turnbull, Dr. Ratcliffe, Rev. Mr. things. You have as a true phophet

WRY WILL *FISH DIE IN A JAR
OF WATER? • -
In spite of the fact that fish die
whenexposedto the air—just as
certainly as a man will die if .held.
below the surface of the water—
both fish and animals live oil the'
/game element, • oxygen. The ' dif-
ferenee is that man extracts his oxY-

the gills.
When a fish is placed in a jar of
water which is not re nished at
stik
regular intervals, it soon consunies
all the oxygen that is in he water,
and the existence of life is no
longer possible. ' The fish is then
drowned, just as much as the man
would be—the act of "drowning"
being merely a ,orm of suffocation
due to cutting off the -supply of
oxygen. In others words, it is not
the water that keeps the fish alive,
but the oxygen in the water. For
this reason, it is necessary to fre-
quently change. the water , in the
bowls or aquariums where 'fish are
kept in order that they may remain
healthy and active.
Dear Mr. Fletcher:
For almost forty-two years, we the
Kirkton congregation have been priv-
ileged to enjoy your ministry.
During this long period many and
great are the akanges that have taken

Th aged have been called to take
part in the sacred service in the Upper
sanctuary. Those Who were their
young are now the aged, and those
on whose shoulders the congregational
responsibility now rests, have, -since
you became our pastor, come into life,
and from your hand the water of

whilst many of the heads of homes
were by you united in marriage.

between us as pastor and people have

. MURDER TRIAL THAT
ENGROSSED ;ALL ENGLAND
For some weeks past the newspaper
reading public of England has been
more keenly interested in a, Welsh
murder trial than in the League of
Nations, the trouble in Ireland, and
the result of the Yale -Harvard foot-
ball match. Not -Since the Kinrade
case in Hamilton have Canadian
papers devoted so much space to a
murder trial as the British press has
given to the case of the King vs.
Harold 'Greenwood, and in, reading
some of it -we flad it difficult to un-
derstand the tremendous excitement
the case aroused. The persons con-
cerned were- not of the aristocracy,
nor were they famous before the
murder charge was laid. They are
nOt of the theatrical world, but just
ordinary middle-class folk, Greenwood
being a middle-aged solicitor. Never-
theless the whole country appears to
have been drinking in -the details
with greater avidity thanif they had
been the final and official reports' of
the Battle of Jutland.
The woman. -whose death resulted
in the charge of murder Was Green-
wocsa's first wife. She was a woman
of means, having an income f 1900
fo
a year—a point that figure .in the
evidence for the defende, ince the
wido'wer received none of it after
his wife's -death. Mrs. Greenwood
had been an invalid for some years,
and the theory -isiee that Greenwood
had poisoned her pn order to marry
ta, Miss Jones, who was much young-
er and a lady of much attraction.
Mr. Greenwood's'-general disposition
was described byta friendly witness
as "lively," and it may have been
on this account that gossig connect-
ed his name at various tines with
Miss Jones and also with Miss Grif-
fiths. When his frrst wife died, after
Greenwood bad summoned a doctor
and had given other evidences of his
solicitude and grief, perhaps little
would Ilene been thought of it had
not the, widower so soon, consoled
himself.
A month after,the death he mar-
ried Miss Gladys' Jones, and that
started the gossip.- Eventually- the

ceived," had the body exhumed and
