The weather in this locality must
haye been awfully dry last summer.
A proof of this is found in the wood
brought to market. Eighteen-lnch
wood has actually shrunk to twelve
and fourteen inches. We notice, how
ever that the drouth has not shrunk

What hopeful creatures we are.
Thousands of acres are being plowed
and every plowman knows that his
burrows will be frozen and buried in
snow. But that don't matter. Hope
pulls the rlowman plump through all
the snowdrifts to spring and buds and
birds and summer on the other side.
Now is the time to prepare for
winter. A full larder, big woodpile,
and good stove are helpful to enjoy
ment in the inclement season. What

feet on the fender, plate of apples

We by no means aim to encourage
the keeping of worthless, barking, ugly
ours. On the other hand, even the
man who is too poor to own anything
but dog, ought 10 enjoy the rights of
poverty and keep his dog, though the
town keep his family. There is a diff
ference in dogs. Some are born to
decency and are worthy of the best in
the house, while others are like some
people, difficult to cay where they were
born. But there ought to be decency
even in dog killer and his methods.
The man who will ingage in wholesale
poisoning of dogs is not even a decent
man, much less a decent dog killer.
Some of the parties who have recently
had their dogs poisoned, think they
have a foundation for suspicion. II
such proves correct there is going to be
fun of different kind nearer home
than the Bull and Boer seat of war.

which pride insists on, the conditions
