The Moderator, the Rev. J. 3, Mattie,
and Dre. Murray and Ross, Messrs.
Smith, Perrin, MacNab and Perrie spoke
in the order named expressing apprecia-
tion of the disposition and earnestness
of Mr. Wardrope during his long minis-

terized him, and expressed the hope that
he might yet be spared for many years
to manifest the qualities ho possessed,
Mr, John McRae read an address pre-
sented by the congregation to Mr. Mal-
colm. This declared the great sorrow
they had in parting with one who had
laboured so long and so successfully in
their midst, and who had ever given him-
self in the most unselfish and whole -soul -
ed way to the service of the Master, and
for the advancement of the best interests
of his cougregation.
Mr, J. K. McLean„ in name of the
congregation, presented a purse, well
filled ith gold to Mr. Malcolm, and in
doing so stated that they would much
rather give him a purse to stay than to go.
Mrs. Grant read au address from the
W. F. M. Auxilliary to Mrs. Malcolm, in
which reference was made to her cheer-
ful and buoyant disposition, and to the
services she had rendered as President of
the Society. At the conclusion o: the
address she presented a gold watch and
chain to Mrs. Malcolm, in name of the
Anxilliary, and for Miss Underwood,
Mre. Maloolm's sister, who was absent,
a gold. pine Mitis Malcolm likewise re-
ceived a substantial token of the young
peoples'esteem.
The members and adherents of the
Teeswater Presbyterian church present-
ed their pastor, Rev. Mr. Malcolm,.
prior to his departure from the flock
whom he had ministered to for many
years, with a purse of gold amounting
to $150. Mrs. Malcolm was also remem-
bered by the W.F.M.S., who presented
her with a beautiful gold watch and
chain.
MAITLAND PRESBYTERY.
the 26th of June
Mr. Malcolm stated that the present
was one of the saddest and happiest
hours of his life. He recognized the
deep and genuine appreciation which his
people had shown during the past 17
years. Mrs. Malcolm and he were hav-
ing great sorrow of heart at the thought
of leaving. The memory of the appreci-
ation and loyalty of his beloved people
would be treasured by them both till
their dying days.
Members of Presbytery present spoke
in the highest terms of praise of the work
done by Mr. Malcolm daring his pastor-
ate in Teeswater. Reference was made
On the eight of a to the fact that having served one of the
large congregation packed Knox church, two congregations which when united

celebrating the jubilee of the Rev. David three years he was readily accepted as

An address was presented to Mr, they were made one. Mr. Malcolm's
sermons had always the true evangelical
Waencs ofpe by the members and a her -
sive ring. He had not spared effort in prepar-
ents the Congregation expressive
of the esteem in which he is
held by those amongst whom he had
spent 34 years of his life, and was read
by Mr. R. E. Little, one of the elders of
the congregation. A congratulatory re-
solution, passed by the Presbytery, was
read by the Clerk. The address, which
was of considerable length, concluded
with the following words: "We are
one in our recognition of yon as one of
our former pastors, and we are one in
rendering thanks to God for His gracious
goodness in bestowing upon yon the
great blessing of a long and useful life.
We join in the heartfelt prayer that it
may please Him, who exercises a provi-
dence over all his creatures that it is at
once minute and comprehensive, and
who has caused it to be known that "He
will withhold no good thing from them
that walk uprightly," to long continue
to watch over you, onr venerable friend
and father; that he may bestow upon
you all convenient temporal blessings;
that your crown may at length be be-
spangled with jewels gathered from this
community, and from other parts where
yon have been permitted to labour for
the glory of our blessed Lord." .previously- presented by the East Ash -

WON -Cured by Dr. N illluwn' fink rills.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills do only one
thing, but they do it well. They fill the
velus H ith uew, rich, red, health loving
blood, which drives away ill traces of
anaemia, headache, backache, palpita-
tion, nervousness, dizziness and despond.
enoy, The uew blood they make bright-
ens dull, lustreless eyes, and brings the
rosy glow of health to pale cheeks In
curing anaemia Dr. Wilhams' Pink Pills
cure the toundation of cousumptiou as
well. The new blood they actually make
gives new strength and vigor to every
organ in the body, and enables it to fight
whatever disease attacks it That is
why they are the hest medicine in the
world for girls in their teens—or for
women in middle life—and to all those
whose blood is weak, watery or impure.
Miss Mazy E Pratt, Blyth, Ont.. gives
strong testimony to the value of these
pills. She says: ' I w
over a year with mute
pletely run down. ha
aches, spells of dizziu
of the heart, oct red all summer and
was no better tha hen 1 began. I had
practically given n all hope of finding a
cure when my brother advised me to try
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. I got four
boxes and when I had taken them I felt
so much better that I got six boxes more
and before I had taken all these I was
completely cured. I am more thankful
than I can say for what the pills h.va
done for me, as but tor them I would not
be enjoying good health to -day, I
strongly urge all weak girls to give Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills a fair trial."
Miss Pratt s exoerienr e proves the
value of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills to
every weak and ailing person. These
pills can be had from any medicine deal-
ers, or by mail frorn the Dr. Williams'
Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont , at 50o. a

ation. There were those in the congrega-
tion who had declared that they had
never heard him preach a sermon that
was unprepared. The contributions to
the Schemes of the church fourteen
years ago were $616.00; last year they
were $1342.00. During fourteen years
the Teeswater congregation had contrib-
uted in all $12,302.00 to the Schemes,
which constitutes them, so far as the
schemes are concerned, the banner con-
gregation of the Presbytery of Maitland.
Doubtless this is largely due to the fideli-
ty, singleness of purpose, and earnest de-
votion of Mr. Malcolm, who has expend-
ed his energy so ungrudgingly that he
feels constrained to rest for a while be-
fore seeking a new sphere of labour
For his devoted work Teeswater is grate-
ful and there is none of his co -presbyters
who doubts that when he has rested a
while, he will repeat in his next charge
what he has already done in Teeswater.
On Friday the 16th June, the congre-
gation of St. Helen's presented their late
pastor, the Rev. S. M. Whaley, M.A.,

FEW PENNIES IN BUTTE.
No One Likes Them, ani They AU
Drift to the ,Postoa3ce.
A twelve quart pail will bold all the
pennies in Butte.
In the money drawer or cash regis-
ter of nearly every business house in
Butte there is a tin box back in one
corner, and in it are pennies. When
the box is full the merchant puts it
under his arm and climbs the hill to
the new postoffice, unloads his accu-
mulation and carries home stamps for
it.
When a child comes into a store and
buys and proffers pennies in payment
the pennies are forthwith cast into the
little box.
As a general thing the pennies given
out in change in the postoffice seldom
get outside the building. Before leaving
the building the owner of the pennies
decides that he or she would rather
have stamps for them, and the ex-
change is made.
So the pennies in circulation In
Butte hover about the postoffice. Once
In awhile an arrival from the east
scatters them among several stores,
but eventually the little disks find their
way to the postoffice. The stores do
not make change in pennies in Butte.
Some use postage stamps.
It has not been so long since pennies
have been given out in change at the
postoffice. Two or three years ago a
man bought a money order at the
Butte postoffice. He had 2 cents In
change coming to him, but there were
no pennies with which to pay it. He
complained to the postoffice depart-
ment at Washington, and then came
an order directing that a supply of
pennies be obtained and change made.'
Since then there has been pennies in
Butte, Helena and most of the larger
offices in Montana. But the merchant
as a general` thing has little use for
pennies, and it will probably be a long
time before they come into circulation
in that part of the northwest.
There are no penny newspapers In
Montana. Children always have a
nickel to buy candy, sometimes more.
There are no penny values shown for
sale in that city.
The merchants think the pennies a
nuisance. The public look at the mat-
ter in the same light, and if it had not
been for a disgruntled buyer of a mon-
ey order who failed to appreciate that
if the 2 cents had been coming the oth-
er way nothing would have been said
about it the probabilities are that pen-
nies would be fewer in Butte and other
Montana cities than they are today.—
Butte Letter in New York Herald.
field portion of his charge, amounted to
$180.00. They also presented him with
an address expressive of esteem in which
he is held by those whom he has served
with enthusiasm and devotion for the
past ten years. The congregations were
greatly prospered during Mr. Whaley's
tenure of office. and to him was largely
due the measure of prosperity they en-
joyed. In 1895, the year of Mr. Whaley's
settlement, the contributions to the
Schemes of the Church were $299.00,
In 1003, when the high water mark was
reached $827.00 were contributed.
There was a net gain of 94 in the mem-
bership, which now stands at 320;. and
the gain in families has also been consid-
erable. Snell statistics bear eloquent
testimony to the work done by Mr.
Whaley, and give good reason to expect
that when rest has restored his vigor, he
will be ready to render service in another
oharge similar to that which he has al-
ready performed in St. Helen's and Eaat
Ashfield. Of this, no one who has had
the privilege of 'working side by side
with him for any length of time has
any doubt.

FAMOUS PEOPLE
BY FANNIE M. LOTHROP
PDoto"by Mott & Fry: 11434-4)
MRS HUMPHRY WAR®
England's Great Woman Novelist
Literary prophecies, like boomerangs, should be handled with extreme
caution—they are so prone to recoil. When Matthew Arnold affirmed that no
Arnold could ever write a novel, he did not look sufficiently far into the future
to sec Mrs. Humphry Ward, the daughter of his brother Thomas, recognized
as the greatest woman novelist of her generation.
She was born in Tasmania in 1851, and when six years old was brought
by her parents to England. Her father, a college professor, changed his col-
lege as frequently as his religion; his intense conscientious yearning for abso-
lute truth whirling him from one faith to another like a cork caught in the
eddy of a stream, and making him the fit prototype of "Robert Elsmere."
At the age of fourteen, when the family migrated to Oxford, she breathed
the University atmosphere that was joy to her heart. She acquired knowl-
edge as naturally as a bird learns to sing, and she was known as a marvelous
linguist, being as perfect in German, French, Spanish and Italian as if each
were her native tongue. At twenty-one she was married to Thomas Humphry
Ward, one of the university dons, whose work as author, editor, critic, has
given him a place in English literature. She was ambitious to write, and her
earliest efforts were so weighted with learning and research that they were
as heavy as dumb -bells and fit only for scholars to read when they wanted
to get away from pleasure. She wrote many articles for the "Dictionary of
Christian Biography," which paid little in coin but more in credit.
Mrs. Ward was thirty-one before she undertook real fiction with "Miss
Bretherton," followed four years later by "Robert Elsmere," which captured
the reading public of two continents. Before this, it is true, she had written a
child's story, a pale -complexioned, ane=mic piece of work, fitly named "Millie
and 011ie." Her translation of "Amiel's Journal" from French into English
was an exquisite literary gem, expressing so perfectly the subtle windings
of the thoughts and emotions of the simple Swiss professor, that it seems
as if he himself must have re -thought his whole diary in English, without
the touch of a translator. "David Grieve," which paid its author over $100,-
000, and others which paid fully as much, soon, followed, among them, "Sir
George Tressady," "Helbeck of Annisdale," "Eleanor" and "Lady Rose's
Daughter." • In her beautiful country home, in Hertfordshire, she does her
literary work, seeking to escape from the storm of publicity her books have
aroused and avoiding all society but a little band of devoted friends.

Mrs. Wise (to her worse half)—How comes Abraham to be the only million-
aire in town ?
Mr. Wise—Abraham's great wealth was acquired through upright dealing.
He has conducted the boot and shoe business for 39 years in the same shop and is
still prepared to repair your boots at your own prices.
Mrs. Wise—What has happened to cause you to smile so good naturedly?
Mr. Wise—I got my boots mended at Abraham's, and I am so delighted with
the work and the cost that I won't show yon a frown for the next year.
Mrs. Wise -1 wish you. had gone to Abraham years ago with your boots; I
might now be wearing silk and have fewer gray hairs in my head.
Mr. Wise—My dear, don't ,von know it is never too late to mend—"boots"—
As Abraham always uses the golden rule,—no other testimonial is required as 39
years in one spot is clear proof of square dealing.—You can see with one eye how
he can work cheap; he is under no expense. Abraham's record has no equal in
Wingham.—Neither the Governor General nor the Prime Minister can boast of so
long a term of office. '
