'Singularly deliberate in forming an
opinion. he was equally persistent in act
ing upon an opinion once formed"until
the public end desired was achieved.
Action with him was the result of judg-

steady, quiet advocacy, backed by log

eloquence seldom failed OF its mark"

Last Wednesday night strange dog
visited the sheep-pen of Mr.. Joseph
Sergeant, south of Pennington, and
made sad havoc among his fine flock
of 50 sheep. Not one of the flock but
was more or less injured by the savage
bites of this mongrel cur. Nine sheep
and three lambs were killed outright,
and five more sheep were left in dy
ing condition Early in the evening
this dog appeared at Mr.. Sergeant's
and bit his shepherd dog, which he
values very highly. The dog evidently
came back after it had stopped snow
ing, near midnight, and was found at
his dastardly work in the morning
The dog was at once shot by young
man who works for Mr.. Sergeant. The
head of the dog has been sent to New
York for the purpose of ascertaining
whether or not the dog had hydro
phobia.

As the New Year dawns, We are
apt to resolve anew to do what we cnn
to advance the cause of right and to

and perhaps many of the mothers of
our town are not aware of the oppor-
tnnity for good, so easy of access for
their children, as there is i'll the Loyal
Temperance Legion, which holds its
session every Tuesday afternoon, from
3. 30 to 30, in the hall of the w. G. I L.
This is veritable training school
for boys aud girls along the line of
Temperance 1t is not thought alone,
necessary that these children be IN
duced to sign the pledge, but good
sound principles are instilled that
should be of lasting benefit to them
As mothers, we all admit that child
hood is the time when impressions
are made that never are etlaeed, and is
it not "A great privilege to have a class
where those in whom we have deep
interest may be taught the effect of
alcohol and other things of like in
furious nature, upon the system, tench-
ing them that they Hre poison, and
that the only safe way is to let them
alone? A Bible lesson is taught each
day and made SO plain that the smallest
child may understand, and the lessons
learned here from God s word may he
stored away by these children and
may prove of great blessing in future
years Bright and happy songs are
sung, and altogether the hour spent
is very profit able to all.
Will not the mothers encourage
their children to attend the l.. T. L.

nate that which would eventually ruin
