T. U. COLUMN, This column has been reserved for the use of the Wingham W. C. T. U. and will be edited by the members of that Society, RUINED ay RUM, (By Mrs. Earle C. Johnson.) A mother rocks her baby boy; Her heart with love o'erfiows;. She dreams the while of future joy When he to manhood grows, But all too soon the years speed by, The tempter comes his way! '0 save my boy', the mother cries, 'From rum's most cruel sway.' Whenever you happen to meet A man with staggering feet, To him be kind, and bear in mind Some mother's boy is he; He once was her pride and .boy. So fight the foe that brought him so low And made him a wandering boy. The mother sits with sorrow bent And dreams of years now gone, When he so pure and innocent, Made sunshine in the home. , Her fondest hopes of bygone years The wine cup has destroyed, And taken from her all life held dear— Her precious only boy. We cannot sit with idle hand And let this monster rum Keep up its slaughter in our land; We must protect the home. 0, brothers, not a moment waste, But fight this giant foe, And cast your votes with mothers' prayers — This licensed end o'erthrow. —•Micbi an Christian Advocate'. —Connection has been made at Brus- sels between the Bell Telephone Co. and the Brussels, Grey and Morris tele- phone system in accordance with the order issued some months ago by the Dominion Railway Commission. This, will mean that subscribers of the Brus- sels system will pay 15c in addition to the regular Bell rates on all out -going business while on ingoing business the charge be the regular Bell tariff rates. CONSERVATIVE INVENTIONS. "For ways that are dark and for tricks that are vain" it would be hard too beat the campaign that is being put up by the opponents of reciprocity. Mr. Robinette, the Liberal candidate in North York, said on Saturday that an election dodger'bad,been circulated in thatriding stating that the reciproc- ity agreement is terminable only after twenty-one years. A correspondent of the Toronto Globe writes that "the Conservatives are using throughout the country the argument that the reci- procity pact, if passed, will be binding for twenty-one years, and whether Canada likes it or not she cannot get out of it." These statements are pure inventions —campaign lies coined for purposes of deceit. There is no treaty; there is no binding agreement for a fixed term of years. The agreement for mutual tar- iff reductions is contained in two letters, dated January 21, 1911, one from Messrs. Fielding and Paterson to Mr. P. C. Knox, United States Secretary of State, the other from Mr. Knox to 'Messrs. Fielding and Paterson.

Re comes when 1 am sick at heart from toiling in the busy mart, when worn by grievances and woes, my soul is longing for repose. He comes, this weird and windy chap, and lays a vol- ume in my lap, a toine that weighs 'a hundred, net, and says: "This beats them all, you bet! You'll never see its like again—"The Lives of Fifty Fam- ous Men!" Now, here's a sketch of ancient sage, and when you turn to t'other page, you find a map of Dr. Cook—there never was so smooth a book!" And as his words on me de- scend, I know he'll get me in the end. He'll beat ane by his sinful art, and wear me out, and break my heart. And if, to shield my hearth and borne, 1 brain him with his weighty tome, the janizaries of the law will lead me to a couch of straw and clanking chains in Prison cell—and 1 would ask if this is well? Why is it wrong to shed the gore of agents when they seek your door, and talk until your bosom bleeds, and sell you books that no one reads? 1 slew an agent long ago; with fervid zeal 1 laid him low, and I was fined some fifteen bones and worked the fine out breaking stones. -Walt Mason.
