Released at last from the gates iron

was gala day for them all To explain
to them that this was the very newest
wrinkle in matters educationaI-that it

Yesterday the inhabitants of Lewis
ham were provided with specimen
of that curious phenomenon known as
"globular lightning" 1t is what is
commonly called the fire ball." and
as IT persists for several seconds it is
obviously OF a totally different char
acter from any other form of lightning
1t is much less brilliant than ordinary
lightning, and it's brightness appears
to be that of iron at the red hot"
stage.
1t is not, as some accounts might
lead one to infer, a solid missile, but
it is always spherical and appears to
fall from a thunder cloud by it's own
gravity, sometimes rebounding after
striking the ground.-London Globe.

TsIkInu TO the Child,

Mrs. x talks to little Madge
just as Mr.. x talks to their dog"
said a little girl of a neighboring fam
lily. And It was indeed true. Mrs.
x is a very well-meaning woman
and would be greatly surprised If she
should hear the foregoing statement.
She has simply unconsciously acquired
a harsh tone Of voice in dealing with
her children. This is altogether I'M
necessary and is not, as many moth
ers seem to think, mark Of good dis
cipline. The mother whose manner is
quiet but firm is generally a much
more successful disciplinarian than
the harsh-voiced mother who issues
her commands in a dictatorial manner.
Kindness never spells children. 1t is
fabby indecision, sometimes mistaken
for kindness, which spells them.

A STITCH In TIME

Every form of cutaneous disease
could be cured in its incipiency if a
Jar Of Resinol Ointment were kept at
hand. A little of this excellent Oint-
ment applied IN time will effectually
ward of and cure a starting trouble
which. II neglected, may prove a trou-
blesore and often obstinate case Of
Eczema or other dis1guring skin dis
ease. For burns, scalds, slight
wounds, sores, eruption Of poison
ivy, sunburn, 1t is a quick and sure
remedy, usually curing these troubles
over night. To the unfortunate suf-
ferer with Hemorrhoids etching or In
famed Piles) resinol ointment is in
deed o godsend. The intense pain
and intolerable itching of this trou-
bic Is instantaneously relieved and a
cure effected in a very short time.
The bath room or family medicine
case Is incomplete If not equipped
with Resinol Soap and Ointment.
They are most valuable accessories in
every we'll regulated household, and
cEn be obtained at any drug store.
Resinol Medicated Shaving Stick is
also highly appreciated by men who
regard a good complexion and a face
free from pimples and blotches.

Try to Come Back.

Not long ago Lord Kinnaird, who is
always actively interested in religious
work, paid a surprise visit to a mis-
sion school in the east end of London
and told class of boys the story Of
Samson. Introducing his narrative,
his lordship added:
HE was strong, became weak, and
then regained his strength, enabling
MIN to destroy his enemies. Now,
boys, if had an enemy, what would
you advise me to do?"
A little boy. after meditating on the
secret o. that great giants strength,
shot up his hand and exclaimed: Get
a bottle of 'air restorer."

Guinevere, aged four, was going out
to walk with young lady, of whom
she was very fond. AS they opened
the street door they were met by a

forest fire ever experienced by Mime
sofa settlers. The bodies OF 70 settlers
have been located and it is thought
that the death rate among the settlers
will be upwards OF 800.
Wagon loads OF dead bodies are be-
ing brought into the railway station at
Beaudette constantly.
1t is reported that many settlers
crazed with grief with the loss OF faml-
lies and property, are roaming the
woods and searching parties are con-
stantly going out after the injured, the
dead and the demcnted. One family
OF nine, one OF seven and one OF five
we're wiped out on Friday night.
Saturday cyclone OF fire struck
Beaudette and Spooner and within
three minutes after the first alarm
every building was ablaze. and within
an hour they we're heaps OF ashes. The
people of these two towns had just sufti-

with what they had on their backs, TAX

Five thousand are homeless and the

FEARS ROOSEVELT.

Prof Richard Heath Dabncy, Corco-
ran professor OF history at the Unlver-
sity OF Virginia, while lccturing to one
of his classes one morning last week
made statement which all thinking
men should heed.
Theodore Roosevelt is one Of the
great perils with which the American
people will have to deal in the next
two years." said. The great masses OF
American people have explicit faith in
him. They think him capable OF
giving advice on anything, from obstet-
RIGS to the most complicated problems
OF national and international law.
The millions OF our people which
constitute the poor and middle classes
think Roosevelt the only means OF es-
cape from the present trouble confront
ing the nation. They would sweep the
Constitution away, abolish it, forget it,
for this man who has such talent for
making grand stand plays and captl-
waiting the public mind with his sensa-
tional performances.
If Roosevelt is elected in 1912, |
have no doubt he will be our dictator
for the rest OF his life. Our govern.
ment would run on the same plan as
Mexico's. He would be elected term
after term, and would succeed in get ing
the government machinery SO under his
control that he could openly choose his
successor.
''The election OF this man means a
great stride in the Capitalization OF our
government. Roosevelt stands for
this. His meddlesome disposition
would lead him to interfere with the
State legislatures With the powerful
Federal government behind him he
could very easily dictate in States
affairs.
Such dictation, however, I believe,
would be in accord with the wishes OF
the American people. To my mind
the United States is bending its way to-
ward the path followed by the Roman
empire in the fourth and fifth centuries.
We must not shut our eyes to the signs
Of the times"
