effect upon bin.
Notwithstanding the severe storm
Monday, Phon Boyes and the " Blue

good shape at an early hour. The
same can also be said of the streets,
which were rolled quite early by Cur
rier and his fair partner.
Arthur Grimes was 81 years old

himself, writing insurance and look
ing after his personal interests, which
are many. He is already of the opin-
ion that there are many "crooks and
turns" in this life which a minor
knows nothing about.

How does ynnr coal hold cut
This is question frequently asked
and the reply in general is " not as
we'll as usual" Several who thought
they had put in enough for the win
ter's supply find the stock almost
exhausted and have had to lay in
more. The early setting in of winter
is the main cause of this, while some
think the quality of coal not up to
the standard.
The repairs at the post-office are
now completed and on Monday busi-
ness was resumed in the renovated
apartments. The letter case has been
turned toward the north and the en-
trance is now at the northern end of
the building. More "standing room"
is given and also a direct entrance to
the Library. Altogether the change
is an improvement on the old ar
rapgament and will be appreciated
By the patrons of the Office.
Walter Strong is a brave fellow. As
a rule he has lots of sand and plenty
of pluck; but all the same there are
times when be trembles and shivers at
the knees and is ready to show the
white feather. Such an occasion was
that OF Monday evening, when a par
ticular friend Of his arrayed in mascu-
line garb met him as he entered his
domicile. He surrendered at once,
promised all sorts of things from a
pound of chocolates to a seal skin
garment and declared that in future
his behavior would he of the best, if
released. Imagine his chagrin, when
lights were turned on aud he "came
to-" on finding that he had been
frightened out of his boots by a harm
less woman.
Friday evening last was "gentle-
mems night" with the Home Culture
Club and over one hundred availed
themselves of the opportunity of en-
iOying an evening at the hospitable
home of Mr.. and Mrs. FL. j. LilIey.
The evening was passed in social in
tercourse and many took advantage
of the occasion by getting acquainted
with their neighbOrs-severaI OF whom
had not met since a like event of a
wear ago. Songs were rendered by
Mrs. E &. Page and Newton Camp
and a general good time was enjoyed
by all. Dainty refreshments we're
served. Miss DOrcas Sawyer aud Miss
Lilah Waite poured the coffee and
cocoa and a bevy of handsome young
debutants acted as walters. The men
folks enjoyed social smoke at the
invitation of Fred L Lilley in his
cosy Office adj Dining. Altogether the
sff Lir was q very pleasant one and
all VINO were guests OF the club are of
the opinion that that organization
are entertainers of high order.
