-Clarington w. C. T. U. observed their
annual Mothers Day at the home of Mrs.
Hillard, one of the oldest and charter
memb ber OF the Union, who, on account
of sickness, has not been able to meet
with us for some time. After partaking
of good, substantial dinner, we enjoyed
the social hour by having read and dis
cussed topics along our line of work.

1t is well to be careful about what you
put in the basket at church. The New
York Press tells OF a stingy cid maid who
dropped two postage stamps into the con-
tribution box. They were two-cent ad-
| hesives which she had soaked off "a letter
received by her grandfather from friend
in British Guiana in 1850. The minister,
knowing something about philately, sold
them for l,025. The following year they
changed hands at 81, 200 and a little while
later the new purchaser disposed of them
for SO. 900 to a German dealer, who let
Russian collector have them for 5000.
Sunday was peach in weather con-
ditions, almost every variety known to
this climate being "in our midst" The
day began with a snow storm which was
followed by mildness and springike
conditions, and then drenching rain in
the evening. By Monday morning the
conditions had changed again and another
snowstorm was bowling, and before
evening there was good sleighing in al
most any direction. And if the weather
man will now stay on his good behavior
a while our lumbermen aud teamsters
will be happy, for there's considerable
stuff to be- moved if conditions stay right.
