He Saw the Show.

MIR. Ernest Crowl was very fond OF
the Ki-Yi moving picture show on
Monday night. After visiting the
show house early in the evening he
started to return to mis- home, declar-
ing it was great, but he had not gone
far until he met his grandfather, Mr..
Milton Chew, who asked him to ac-
company him to the show again. He
first declined, but soon after accepted
the invitation. After witnessing part
of the show he noticed the audience
was increasing in size and-two boxes
being carried back OF the stage by two
Of his close friends, he became sus-
picious Of some joke being played on
him, and wanted to 20 home, but
shortly after his school mates appear
ed and then everything glittered. He
saw the game, and then he was the
victim Of surprise, well planned by
his parents, MIR. and Mrs. J. David
Crowl, on his 18th birthday, and he
stood the test with a smile. After
the cOnclusiOnO OF four reels of pictures
MIR. M. T. Walsh took the stage and
stated that 1t was a surprise to MIR.
Ernest CrOwl, and presented him with
beautiful bouquet OF roses, which
was accepted with many thanks and
smiles that won't wear off. The cur
tain then took trip to the ceiling,
and showed a number OF his friends
dipping ice cream and cutting cake for
his many guests to enjoy. After con-
gratulatiOns and best wishes the guests
departed for their homes, expressing
themselves az being delighted with the
evenings enjoyment. MIR. Crowl re-
caivad MANY handsome DresentS
About $50 persons were present.

Those citizens of Union Bridge, Car

the Anti-Saloon League i'm order to
pay the expenses OF getting a three
mile prohibition passed for that sec
ton are now scrowlfng darkly and
wishing they had kept their money i'm
their pockets. Particularly do the
managers or the Union Bridge College
Institute, shortly to be renamed
Blue Mountains College, feel chagrined
for, it il stated, that they gave up $3.50
for expenses The bill, as proposed
and promised lily Dribill Anderson, was
to prohibit. the issuing Of saloon
license within three miles of the edu-
cational institute: This bill, III passed,
would have destroyed the license OF
the three retail liquor places in Union
Bridge proper. The three licensed
places are Ste1Ps Hotel, James Skis
Hotel and J.* Frank Bakers.
All OF them have been in business
for at least four decades. There has
never been the slightest complaint as
to the manner i'm which they are con-
Quoted and paying license Of $3.50
each, the three. contribute yearly $3.50
toward the support or the town. There
was no demand for q three-mlle pro-
hibtion bill until Anderson hit Union
Bridge on one OF his wanderings and
persuaded few citizens and the col
lege managers that such bill should
be passed. Then he handed out his
hat for the expense money"
