The sympathy of •the entire newt -
paper world goes out to Mr. A. F. Pirie
editor of the Dundas. Banner, who in a
moment of mental deraagement,brought
on by brooding upon the death of his
faithful wife over a year ago, rashly
attempted his own life, on Saturday
eveniug, with what will probably prove
all too great success. Mr. Pirie was a
bailliaut journalist, a public speaker of
more than passing eloquence, and as de-
cent a fellow as ever drove a quill in
Canada.
The following story from an excltange
would have proven quite meaningless a
century ago. The coatless pian puts a
careless arm around the waist of a hat-
less girl, as over the dustless and mud -
less road in a horseless carriage they
whirl. Like a leadless 'bullet from a
harmless gun by smokeless powder
driven, they fly to taste the speechless
joy by endless union given. Though the
only lunch his coiuless purse affords to
them the means, is a tasteless meal of
boneless cod with a dish of stringless
Beans; he puffs a tobaocoless cigarette
and laughs a mirthless laugh when papa
tries to coax her back by wireless tele-
graph.

ua 2,286 deer killed during the season,

ult press Co. Forty fine moose were shot;
Ta 181 wolves were killed during 1902 at a
Cc cost to the Government and municipali-
,ties of $2,715. The bounty of $50 per

all Mr. John F.Mackay,of the Woodstock
sii;Sentinel-Review, has been appointed
., business manager of the Toronto Globe,
sa great prize in Canadian newspaperdom.
mgr. Mackay is a young man, but he is
one of the brightest in the business, and.
is personally very likeable. He began
bis career in Woodstock, but has had the
advantage of several years' experience

Oval officer wrote to his majstey asking
in if he would issue an order tha
ben his health was toasted it need not
drank in wine. The King replied
ugh his secretary that the Lord of
frailty probably would not like his
terferring by issuing orders, but he
uld be glad to have it circulated pri-
ely that he considered a toast as
oh honored by those drinking it in
ter as by those using wine.

Many a wife iu after years is sorry

About three minutes after starting an

that he is lost.
A young boy never misses what he

It is taking an unfair advantage of a

Don't get the idea into your head that
a woman is more economical than a
man just because her waist is smaller.
As a rule women are more liberal
than men. The wife who has a mind of
her own is continually giving her hus-
baud pieces of it.

The World's Opinion.
(Ottawa Journal.)
The man whe enters middle age and'

dollars a year or above as considered a
failure.
That a man Without money is a failure
has been taken for granted so long that
it is hardly ever questioned 'now.
A man may be brilliant and witty,
may be a good companion, a good friqud,
but if he has uot the ability to buy a yard
of tape at a certain figura, and sell, it at
a greater figure, the average man in his
heart considers him a failure.
There are many tuore admirable men-
tal qualities than acquisitiveness, and it
is a pity that modern conditions are such
that commercial ability is the criterion
of failure and success.
Poverty is hard, but there are many
rich souls who would sot miud its . de-
privations:were it not for the privations,
were it not for the itnbitteeing thought
that because of this one lack the -world
placed them iu the category of failures.
The world loses much because it elim-
inates the poor man from its considera-
tion.

i.tve Stock Market's,
Toronto, Ang. 11 -There was a very
light run at the western cattle market
to -day. The total run comprised 30
loads, with 393 head of cattle, 364 sheep
and lambs, 362 hogs and 20 calves.
There was some delay in the delivery of
the cattle in the marked;, and this had
the effect of putting a damper on busi-
ness for a while, a few ' buyers leaving
the market. After very heavy buying
last week there is not much doing in the
export trade this week, due in part to
the fact that prices are lower in England.
There is in consequence but few export
cattle offering, and the demand is light.
Thele is a fair demand for butchers'
cattle and for light export, but scarcely
auy of the latter class offering.
Eighty car loads of live stock were in
the Union stook yards for to -day's mar-
ket. About 30 cars'came by the C. P.
R. About 1,560 cattle, 400 sheep, 88
hogs and 20 calves were in the market.
A large number of drovers were on han d
but business did not come •up to stan-
dard of the two preooeding Tuesdays .
Prices were generally firm, exporters be-
ing slightly,easier and batohers' cattle
selling at stronger prices. •
The following are the quotations:

he knew them all, but he received a day

who advanced a new proposition that he
intends to have framed. It read: "I

What is said to have been the worst
gang of burglars who have operated in
Toronto since the capture of the Rice -
Rutledge crowd, were surprised on Mon-
day while engaged in robbing a home in
the Rosedale section of the city. The
gang included young Quackeuboah, who
escaped from. the Centrat last month.
There Were four in the party, and all
were taken but one. The burglars were
armed with loaded revolvers, but there
was no shooting, all surrendering quietly
when faced by a levelled revolver in the
hands of Detective p'orrett.

" 1 had a very severe sickness

chased a bottle of Ayer's Hair
Vigo: and it brought all my hair
back again."
W. D. Quinn, Marseilles, 111.
One thing is certain;
Ayer's Hair Vigor makes
the hair grow. This is
because it is a hair food.
It feeds the hair and the
hair grows that's all there
is to it. it stops falling
of the hair, too, and al-
ways restores color to
gray hair.
