EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS,.
—At an election in the State of Ohio
last week, Woman Suffrage was one
of the questions before the electoral,
and the proposed amendment to the
Constitution was voted down, The
women, however, declare that they
will not rest until they win.
* * *
—Premier Borden has returned
from the Old Land, and is being wel-
comed with magnificent receptions.
Canadians, of both political parties,
are recognizing that the Canadian
Premier, has qualities of mind and
character, that ensure bis "making
good" in the responsible position in
which lie has been placed.
* **
—It is rumored that the Dominion
Parliament will not meet until the
New Year. It has happened that
when Parliament did meet in Novem-
ber, business was not ready, and
scarcely anything accomplished be-
fore the House adjourned for Christ-
mas holidays. Better have every-
thing ready, and then lose no time.
Some important questions are likely
to come before the House, next
session.
* * *
—Here is a selected paragraph that
contains much truth :—"It takes
courage to live, to face each day with
hope and cheerfulness, to explore new
lands or new thought. Talent often
goes to waste for want of courage.
Courage is the chief guardian of the
soul. It is the courage to say "No,"
even though we may be laughed at,
that saves many a youth from the
influence of bad companions. Let us
be true to conscience. Follow the
truth wherever it leads. Dare to be
a man. Dare to be yourself."
* * *
—A practical example of the way a
"Trust" can increase the cost of living
is seen in the fact that American beef
is sold cheaper in England than in
New York, and that too after paying
freight across three thousand miles of
ocean, and extra handling. The
reason given is the shutting out of
competition because of the Beef Trust
Monopoly. Some of those Trust
magnates are stealing hard-earned
dollars from poor consumers, to in-
crease their own big bank accounts.
The reckoning day will come.
* 4*
—The C. P. R. seems to have heaps
of money and just now there seems
to really be no need of increasing their
stock by the process known as "melon -
cutting" or in plain words, free cash
gifts to shareholders. Two new
palatial steamers are to be placed on
the voyage from Vancouver to Hong
Kong, China. One of these steamers,
the Empress of Russia, has been
launched. She is 595 feet long and is
expected to make a speed of 18 knots.
The Canadian Pacific Railway is
spending $5,000,000 on these vessels.
The Empress of Russia will float if
any four of her compartments are
flooded with water.
* *
—The Progressive party in the
United States had reason.for encour.
ageroent in the Vermont election for
Governor last week. The Progres-
sives cut into the Republican vote eo
much, that the Republican candidate
for Governor failed to get a majority
of the votes cast. The election now
goes to the Legislature of the State,
where with a Republican majority, he
is likely, to be elected. The result of
this election, it is claimed forecasts a
defeat for Taft, the Republican can-
didate for President. The Progres-
sives are certainly starting out well,
with Roosevelt as their leader, There
will be some noise before the next
President is elected and installed,

.—"Of making many books, there is
no end, and much study is a weariness
to the flesh." So said Solomon, when
book; (as we know them) were un-
known. What Solomon would have
said in these days of books by the
million, we know not. Yet his state-
ment is true today. Those who have
never carried a book through the press
ean form no idea of the amount of
toil it involves, Livingstone, the
African explorer, declared that he
would rather cross the African eon-
tinent again than undertake to write
another book. It is said of one of
LongfellOw's poems that it was writ-
ten in four weeks, but that he spent
eix menthe in revising and condensing
Xlulwer declared that he had
rewritten some of his briefer pro -
dilations as many as eight or nine
times before their publication. One
of Tennyson's poems was rewritten
fifty times. Gibbon spent twenty
years on his "Decline and Pall of the
Itoman Empire ;" Adam Clark26
years on hie "Comtnentaryt" and
Carlylefifteen years on his "Fred-
erick the Great" A great deal of
time is consumed in reading before
sone book e are prepared. George
ltliot read 1000 hooks before she wrote
"Daniel Deronda," Alison read. 2000
before he completed his history.

Fall Pair Concert.
It might be difficult to secure better
entertainers than Bruce W, Pearson'
concert Tenor and Impersonator, Don-
ald 0. McGregor, concert Baritone,
and the inimitable "4Tbm/fly Fax" who
never fails to make you laugh. These
three have been engaged for the Fall
Fair concert, Sept. 27th, and the So-
ciety has done well to secure them,
even at considerable expense. The
opera hall will not hold the crowd ;
secure tickets in good three.
An Obituary.
Frank Waller of Marquette, Kan-
sas, died a short time ago, and the
Tribune gave the following obituary—
"Prank Waller was a unique charac-
ter. An honest comment on his life
is difficult to make in a newspaper.
We do not wish to say any unkind
word about him, He put nothing in-
to this world and got nothing out of
it. His hoarded wealth brought him
an early grave, and. he could take
none of it with him. Be was honest
as he saw honesty, obeyed the law of
the land when it cost him nothing;
neighbored with no one; trusted no
one ; got alt he could and kept all
he got.
Laid To Rest,
The funeral cif the late Mrs. Merkley,
who died very suddenly at her daugh-
ter's, took place on the 4th inst., to
Wingham cemetery and was largely
attended. An impressive service was
conducted by Rev. Dr. Rutledge.
Many floral tributes were laid on the
casket, including a Cross from Mrs.
Rodenhaver, Spokane ; a pillow from
the family ; wreaths from Mies Robin-
son, Mrs, Varey and Mrs. G. Green;
sprays from Miss Reynolds, Miss
Gracey, Mrs, Breen, Mrs. T. Bennett
and Mrs, Duncan. The pallbearers
were her four sons and two sons -in -
taw, Messrs, Martin, Henry, Ezra and
James Merkley, George Simmons and
A, Runstedler. Otto son and daughter
were unable to get home.
Wire Fence Saved Them.
While driving to Auburn on Mon-
day, Ed. Volmanhauser,accompanied
by his wife and two children, and Nel-
son Armstrong, met with rather a
thrilling experience, which in igb t
have been worse. The bridge crossing
the river at Aulaurnbeing carried
away in the spring fresh they were
forced to drite over the river bed.
Getting off the regular/track, the
swift current carried the' rig and oc-
cupants downS ream, here it was
caught by a wire -fence. Here the
shafts were broken and the horse got
away. The party were forced to walk
ashore in four feet of water. If it
hadn't been for the fence they would
have been carried over the &ma,
Two Things Missed.
Rev, Bob, 13urdettte, sometimes
called the."genial philosopher says :—
The first thing you miss a thousand
miles away from mother, home and
friends, is the home paper. No other
paper has the news. Better the
home paper ten days old, than the
morning daily of the town you happen
to be in. Another thing the man
misses is Sunday. Continuous travel
has a tendency to obliterate the Sab-
bath, and in a little while, this con-
fuses and mixes up all the days of the
week as nothing else can, If Sunday
was good for nothing else, it would
still be good as a dividing day. Even
men who don't keep the Sabbath at
home, miss it when everybody else
begins to ignore it. The man who is
always bored by Sunday should be
compelled to work seven days a week
for a iolonth. He would change his
grouch.
THE LORD'S DAY ALLIANCE.
The annual public meeting of the
Wingham Branch of the Ontario
Lord's Day Alliance was held in the
Methodist Church on Wednesday
evening, Sept. 4th, and the Advance
is indebted to Mr. John Kerr for the
following report, as the editor was
not able to be present.
Rev. Dr. W. L. Rutledge presided.
'Rev. D. Perri° and Rev. G. V. Collins
assisted in the opening and closing
exereiseti.
Rev. W. G. Hanna, E. A., General
Seeretary of the Ontario Lord's Day
Alliance, gave a splendid address in
which he reviewed the excellent work
this Society has accomplished, in se-
curing a better observance of the rest
day laws, and in trying to bring the
people of this country to a realization
of the .Value of the Lord's Day as a
national asset. The general moral
tone is very much improved where
the rest law is observed, Manufac.
turers, corporations and nation e are
recognizing the fact that the "rest
day" is of inetnettsurable valtas
Through the influence of this Society
125,000 working men in Ontaeio, who
0 years ago Were compelled to work
seven daye a week, now enjoy rest on
the Lord's Day‘

Another Storm.
Another sharp thunder storm pasF-
ed over• Wingharn on Thursday last.
There were several discharges of the
electric fluid near and In town, $t.
Andrew's Church was struek, some of
the ornamental iron coping broken,
and one rafter splintered to pieces, but
fortunately the building was not
fired, The Salt black was also struck,
the tall chimney being injured and
some holes knocked in the roof. Mr.
Sperling estimated the damage at
several hundred dollars,
A Cruel Act.
"Dmxtb Animals" reports the fol-
lowing :—Two years and a half in
prison is the sentence given a team
ster last month In Michigan for pull
ing the tongue out of a balky horse.
He fastened a strap around the
tongue, hitched on another horse and
the result was as stated above, No
wonder the suffering animal went
after that, if a horse can only think
of one thing at a time, He had small
chance to dwell upon the original
cause of his balking. The teamster
drove him in his pitiable condition
twenty-five miles, We honor the
judge.
Remember The Date,
Of Wingham Fall Fair. Every
member should endeavor to add some-
thing to the exhibit. Show what you
can raise, not what some other per-
son raised. Do not leave everything
to the Directors and then blame them
if the exhibit is less than what you
think it might be. Do something to
make Wingham one of the beet Fairs
in the County. Herp to get the So-
ciety where it ought to be. Bad wea-
ther lessened the receipts; we cannot
prevent bad weather, but everyone
can do a little to encourage the enter-
prise, and add something to the inter-
est and success of the Fair. The Press
will do its share.
High School Board.
This Board met Monday evening
and attended to routine business. It
was decided to grant the pupils a
half -holiday to attend the Fall Fair.,
13y resolution, the Board also met
Tuesday at 9 a.m., at the High School.
After looking over recent improve-
ments, the members of the Board
expressed themselves much pleased at
the appearance of the rooms, and the
work of painting by Messrs. Schaefer
& Morrison. The rooms look better
now than when the building was first
opened for school. The Board decided
to add. seven new seats, required by
the increased attendance ; other
minor matters were disposed of,
Former Resident Married.
This week, we have record the mar-
riage of Mr. Luther A. Ball, formerly
of Wirigham, now of Aylmer, Ont.
The happy event took place at the
home of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs, Geo, Wood, Kincardine, at 10 30
axe, on Saturday, September 7th,
and the bride was their daughter,
Miss Ida. Mary. The ceremony was
performed by Rev, A. A. Bice of Lon-
don (cousin of the bride) assisted. by
Rev. M. McArthur of Kincardine, and
took place under an arch of greenery
and asters. The house was prettily
decorated with palms, asters and
sweet peas. Miss Gladys Wood, sister
of the bride, played the wedding
march, The bride, who was given
away by her father, wore a gown of
white satin and pearls, a tulle veil
with orange blossoms and carried a
ehower bouquet of roses and lilies -of -
the -valley. Her only ornament was a
pearl necklace, the gift of the groom.
After the wedding breakfast the bride
and groom left on a trip to New York,
the former travelling in a tailored suit
of blue serge and wore a blue felt bat.
They will be at home after November
1st, at Aylmer, Ont. An unusually
large number of handsome gifts was
received,

in the gaol cellar.
Smaller Colt Yet.
Last week we referred to a small
colt on the B line. We have since
heard of a much smaller one in East
Wawanosh. On the 29th of Jane a
six-year-old driver of J. E, Fells gave
birth to a pair of twin colts, one
weighing 27 lbs. ; this one died when
a few days old. The other weighed
19 lbs, and was only 18 inches tall, Its
legs were as small round as a man'e
thumb, It is still very small, but a
beauty in every respect.
The Wonderful Dollar.
The Moosejaw Times says :—If we
could blot out the mental impression
that money necessarily brings happi-
ness, how much better a place this
great wealthy country might be to
live in ; how much happier many lives
would be! But almost everything,
health, peace of mind, beautiful sur-
roundings, all that makes life enjoy-
able is put second to the eternal strug-
gle tor the almighty dollar.
Household Hints.
Try using lemon and vanilla togeth-
er in flavoring a cake. It makes a
pleasant change. A wooden tooth-
pick is more cleanly than the straw
from a broom with which to test
bread and cake.... Always stand the
ironing board on the wide end to pre-
vent displacing cover by slipping
downward When soaking salty
ham add a tablespoonful of molasses
to the water. It improves the taste
and makes the ham fry nice and
brown.
Call It "Straspberry."
John Hopkins of 35 Kippenndales
avenue, Toronto, after seven years'
experimenting, has succeeded in
crossing a strawberry with a rasp-
berry. The strawberry bloom was
inoculated with the bloom of the
other fruit, and to -day he has two
hundred bushes loaded with a new
I kind of fruit that has astonished the
horticultural experts. The fruit is
shaped. like an elongated raspberry,
• only about three times as big, and
has a delicious flavor. He refused an
offer of $1,000 for one hundred of the
bushes.
Dispute As To Ownership.
One of those unfortunate disputes
between neighbors was aired recently
before the Police Magistrate, and the
dispute seeds to have been caused by
an indefinitely or wrongly Worded
deed, thus causing uncertainty as to
limits and bounds. So far as we can
understand it, the facts are these :—
While Mr. Dulmage owned the Robt.
Mclndoo property, Miss Dulmage
built a house on the south-easterly
part of the lot. This part, with the
house thereon, was sold to Mr. Coch-
rane, and Mr, Knox became owner of
the other part of the property, and
the dispute arose over the claim of
Mr. Knox to certain portion of the
property purchased by Mr, Cochrane.
The immediate cause of the matter
being before the Magistrate was the
cutting of Mr. Cochrane's clothes line,
by Mr. Knox, according to Mrs.
Cochrane's evidence, a number of
times. For this, Mr. Knox was as-
sessed $10 and costs. The Advance
does not care to publish trifling dis-
putes between neighbors, but this
unfortunate case has a lesson in it for
the public, for it shows the imperative
necessity of having correct and posi-
tively, definite descriptions of property
purchased, A vague, indefinite, or
incorrect description of metes and
bounds may cost a lot of money be-
fore it is corrected,
Prospering in The West.
A correspondent from the Cheviot,
Sask., writes the Advance as follows :
Your readers will be interested to
bear of the prosperity of some who
formerly lived near Wingham, Jas. C.
Anderson, formerly of the B Line, near
Bluevale, has 300 aeries of wheat cut
and stooked, and expects to have five
five carloads of the golden grain, Ile
has his section of land all fenced with
wire fence, and is going into mixed
farming. This summer he built
large frame barn 40:00, cement walls
and floors Ambles fitted with stanchion
stalls, making the best barn in this
section of country. W. J. Brooks
was the contractor ; he is a hostler,
for he built the barn and put in the
stabling in three weekswith the aid
of three men, Mr. Anderson and
family intend taking a trip to the
Coast, or to Ontario this winter.
Crops are good here and nearly all the
cutting is done. There has been no
froEt around here, and everything
looks like a bumper crop. Cheviot is
14 utiles south east of Saskatoon, on
the O. P. It. David Irving, also for.
merlyof Wingheat, is running i gen.
end store and implement business at
Cheviot and is doing a flourishing
business, He intende enlarging his
store this fell. Dave is doing well
and has a good word for the West.
Hoping this will not take ttp too much
of your space, I remain yours truly,

rooms. The troop will be thoroughly
re -organized, and new recruits are
wanted. An effort will be made to
form a Bugle Band. Mr. Barron takes
great interest in the boys, and hopes
etovensirig.

A Record Load,
The Markdale Standard says :—
"Eight people—one family—left town
in a buggy on Monday morning for a
clay's holiday in the country. 'Twas a
record buggy load, we believe," And
yet the editor of the Advance remem-
bers a load, all one family too, that
came into Markdale many years ago,
cart,an
dthere were twenty-one of them,
m
if we remember eorrectly. They came
into town with a yoke of oxen and a
Watch For Them.
Superintendent Joseph Rogers of
the Provincial Police has issued. a
warning to farmers to be on the look-
out for oil experts who have revamped
the old lightning rod scheme. These
"oil experts" seek agreements with
farmers for the purchase of their pro-
perty, offering big prices. T. a, agree-
ment is then produced and the farm
ere asked to sign. A portion is then
torn away and the farmer has signed
a promissory note.
Matrimonial Event.
Last week, Mr. Harvey Shane, the
obliging clerk at Hotel Brunswick,
slipped away to Toronto to see the
Exhibition, But that was not all ;

A Bad Fall.
George Deyell met with an accident
on Saturday last, while assisting his
father at Mr. L. Lott's new stable.
He had ascended a ladder to pull down
a heavy chain t arlistd been in use,
and that is teast4ie..cinremernber
of the matt` r. About halt,an hour
later, he cafne itt sight of thC,' other
. o
men, with severe cuts on hu3 head,
and a num stetafltaiisese It is sup-
posed that in pulling the chain down,
it struck him on the head and. he was
knocked off the ladder, being uncon-
scious for some time. It was a bad
fall, but we are pleased to hear that
George is recovering from its effects.
September Wedding.
A very pretty September wedding
was the cause of a happy gathering
and festive scene at Woodland, the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John Kerr, on
Wednesday, eleventh inst., when their
second daughter, Miss Annie Laura,
became the bride of Mr, Ernest A.
Hammond. At 11,30 a. m., the strains
of Mendelsshons wedding march,
played by Miss M. Hammond, sister of
the groom, was the signal for the
ceremony to begin. A walk up a
ribbon aisle, brought the contracting
parties under an arch of ferns and
asters, where they stood as Rev, Dr.
Rutledge performed the interesting
ceremony. During the signing of the
register, Mise Griffin, cousin of the
groom, sang "Because" in her usual
excellent style. The bride was prettily
attired in white satin with entrain
veil, and carried a baguet of roses and
lilies of the valley. The house was
decorated with ferns and white asters.
After congratulations, about fifty
guests enjoyed with the bride and
groom the wedding repast. The
groom's gift to the bride was a neck-
lace set with pearls and pendant',
and numerous other handsome and
useful gifts were tokens of esteem
and friendship. The bride travelled
in a tailored suit of navy blue and
hat to match. Mr. and Mrs, Ham-
mond left by the afternoon train for
Toronto, and Lake Simeoe, carrying
with them an abundance of congratu-
lations and good wishes for a happy
and prosperous lam a, On their re-
turn, Mr. and Mrs, Hammond will
reside on Minnie street.

The Guelph Herald remarks :—"It
is a daily occurrence for some unfor-
tunate to call up The Herald and ask
"Please keep my name out of the
paper." How much better it would
be if men wonld only remember the
consequences, before they place them-
selves in the position of being hailed
to the police court,"

Imre guessing where he has gone, and
the name of the lady of his claoice.
