One Meotinc in SixtY Years.

The Privy Council of Great Britain
is body often mentioned, yet in its
official capacity it does not seem over
worked. 1t has not held a meeting in
over sixty years. The last was held
in 1889, when the Queen announced
her approaching marriage. An ordin-
airy council Is attended only by few
Privy Councillors who have been sum-
moned, and a meeting of the Privy
Council is held only on the demise Of

Troubles Of Our Own;
Don't Mention Yours.
A Howl From the Managing Ed
itor, Caused by Sickness and
Vaccination.

Never during our connection
with the business have we had so
much trouble in getting out pa
per as ne have this week. The
trouble is due to sickness. We
had expected to publish an extra
paper this week, but our job fore
man could not work on account of
. vaccinated arm, which took one
man from the paper, and with one
man getting up the delinquent tax
list only one man was left on the
paper most of the week, which ac-
counts for the lack of news. This
has also put US behind on our job
work, but we hope next week to
all be well and make up the time
lost.

THE APPLE BARREL

Il stood In the cellar low and dim,
Where the cobwebs swept and swayed,
Holding the store from bough and limb
At the feet Of autumn laid,
And oft, when the days were short and drear
And the north wind shrieked and roared,
We children sought in the corner here
And drew on the toothsome hoard.
For thus through the long, long winter time
1t answered our every call
With wine Of the summers golden prime
Sealed by the hand Of fall.
The best there was Of the earth and air,
OF rain and sun and breeze,
Changed to pippin sweet and rare
By the art of the faithful trees.
A wonderful barrel was this had We
Its message but rightly heard,
Filled with the tales Of wind and bee,
OF cricket and moth and bird;
Rife with the bliss of the fragrant June
When skies were soft and blue,
Thronged with the dreams OF q harvest moon
Ger fields drenched deep with ds~.
Oh, homely barrel, I'd fain essay
Your marvellous skill againi
Take me back to the past. ! pray,
As willingly now as then
Back to the tender morns and ewes,
The noontides warm and still,
The heecy clouds and the spangled leaves
OF the orchard over the hill.
