The customs revenue of the Djmiuion was nearly half a million. more for the month of November then tc was for Nov last year. The collections were $3.790.- 471, or $432.204 over November 1904. For the five months rhe revenue was :19,- 106,300, or $1,201,261 over the same time last year. At a meetiug of the Douiinou Cabinet on Friday last, the sentence of Felix Doyle, the Brautford murderer, was commuted to life imprisonment. It is understood that this action eves taken on the ground that the condemned man is a moral degenerate, irresponsible for his deed. TMe was represented to the Gov- ernment in private reports and set forth in numerously signed peti- tions. The ease of Joe Bennett, the Brant County murderer, was not dis- cussed, a motion beiug before the courts for a new ttial. The sole object of any athletic sport should be, primarily, the provision of recreative physical e.ercise, and inci- dently, the exercise of self-coutrol and self -abnegation -in fact, the mons sena in corpora saoo. The merit winniug of a game should be a secondary considera. tion. When the grief caused by the loss of a game by his nide causes such mental depression in a player as to lead him to take his own life, as happened recently iu the United States, there must be something radioli)' wrong in the idea of the purpose of sport. --Montreal Witness. Muskoka Free Hospital. .A. letter received from Secretary Rob- ertson, of the Natioial Sauitarinm As- sociation, gives these interesting and creditable facts regarding the work be- ing carried on: •'During the year closed we have car- ed for 177 patients in the Muskoka Free Hospital for Consumptives, or 538 since the institution was opened in 1902. The large majority of these have been chari- ty patients. To answer the question sometimes asked "Are patients really ad- mitted free?" let ma take the official re- port for the week endin'e Oet. 7th. There were 52 patients iu residence that week. They eera classified as follows: Charity patients from Toronto 9 '• Hamilton " " Ottawa • 11 14" other municipalities 15 Total number o: charity patient. Patients paying in part for maintenance 15 52 Of the patients paying in part. eleven . contributed 23 30 per week or less, two t paid $4, one paid ie5, and ono $6. It costs 'the institution over ee a week to main- tain each patient, whilst the average of the fifteen who slid pay in part ran less than $3 a week. Th;-; statemeut can be ; made without fear of contradiction, that not a single patient has. ever been refus- ed admission because of his or her pover. ty."

The closing session for this season of Holmes' Sabbath Sohool,Turnberry, was held on Sunday last. The service was a very interestiug review of the nine les- sons of this gaarter and some special music by the choir. But perhaps for many, tho most interesting part of the seseiou was the presentation, by the superintendent, Mr•. John Kerr, of the Ro11 of Honor Certificate to 27 members of the school who had beau reported present at every session of the Sabbath School since April 1, 1905. There are very few Sabbath Schools that can show as satisfactory a record as this one. The average attendance this season was 61, being about 70 per cent. of the total membership. Many of the members walk a distance of three miles to this Sabbath School every Sunday. In ad• dition to the active membership of the school there is a "Houle Departmout" numbering twenty, and a memberhip of about 25 in in the "Cradle Roll Depart- ment." The treasurer reports finances in a healthy condition. (From another correspondent) Tho Sunday school at Holmes' school house closed for the season on Sunday last. There was a good attendance, al- though the weather was stormy. The last two months lessons were gone over Geometry, in review by the Superintendent, Mr. Maximum- Jno. Kerr, of Wingham, in which all acquitted themselves creditably. An interesting part of the proceedings was the giving out of honor certificates to those who had not missed a session of the school during the summer, except through sickness. There was 27 in all, 2 teachers, 2 officers and 23 scholars. This a creditable showing, a record we think will compare favorably with any school in the Province. Some of these scholars come over 3 miles to to get to Sunday School and they don't let a shower of ram or a snow etorm stop them either. Is it any wonder we see in some of our city business advertisements, "a boy from the country preferred?"

Father Hanlon performed the ceremony. `The congratulations of this great family 1jonrnal are extended to the happy couple. A large number of friends assembled at the residence of Mr. James Moffatt, Morrisbank, Monday evening, Nov. 26th on the occasion of their 15th wed. I ding anniversary. A very pleasant time was spent.

BY FANNIE M. LOTHROP ... ELISE C<3 RM N' Canadian Poet, Critic and Editor Bliss Carman, poet, critic and editor, one of the foremost of Canada's con- temporary litterateurs, was born in Fredericton, N. B., in 1861, and on his father's side is descended from the Carmans who went from Long Island, N. Y., to New Brunswick, while his maternal ancestors fought in the Ameri- can Revolution. He was educated at the college school of his native town and the University of New Brunswick, from which he graduated in 18S1, later taking a two years' post -graduate course at the University of Edin- burgh, and afterwards spending two y !ars at Harvard. There seemed to be a restless. Bohemian strain in his nature that chafed under restraint and convention; for ho tried many lines apart from litera- ture, but it had somehow a compelling homing instinct that always Ilrought him back to a bottle of ink and a pen. For a few years he read law, then ventured into the field of civil engineering, then taught school -but it all proved empty and unsatisfying; he had not found his place. It was not until his post -graduate days that his poetic sense oecame manifest and.under the stimulus of the inspiring appreeation of the editors of the college literary magazine he began to write verses in a timid, furtive sort of a way at first, then he grew bolder and more irrepressible, until the editor's drawer was stacked with enough Carman verses to last for years. When he began to send his poems out to the real magazines where the editors paid for contributions, acceptance was not so sure. Ile sent out poem after poem, but they. almost invariably returned, with no leaf of promise; but he had supreme confidence that his doves of verse would find resting place in some ark of editorial appreciation. The best ones, which always made the greatest number of trips before acceptance, especially interested him, and he gave them pet names to commemorate their travels, such as "The Flying Dutchman." "Ulysses" and "The Wandering Jew." One manuscript he sent to Australia by way of San Francisco and it came back via the Suez Canal and London, visiting many editors, and this poem he christened "Captain Cook," because it circumnavigated the globe. Mr. Carman has been on the editorial staff of half a dozen magazines or inure and recently retired from the editorship of the "Literary World"; he has written about a dozen books, three jointly with the late Richard Hovey. He has a well -shaped head, a shock of wavy hair and a general premeditated eccentricity of attire that would make him conspicuous in any company. Entered according to Act of the Parliament of Canada, to Wo year 1901, by W. C. Slack, at the neportmeut of Agriculture. Scotland, and came to Canada when 18 years of age. He lived in Ancaster town- ship, Co. Weutworth, before locating in this township. Mrs. Clark, whose maid- en name was Agues McCullough, pre- deceased her husband by about 3.e, years. The surviving children are John and Robert of British Columbia; Jas. and George at home, and Wm. in Brussels. They were all at the funeral excepting the first mentioned. Mr. Clark was in his 70th year and was an active, indus- trious man, enjoying the esteem of all who knew him. In church relationship he was a Methodist and in politics a Lib- eral.
