ure for the benefit not only of 'other
mothers,n but for the benefit OF the
young girls of the town. We do not
know one that acts as this girl did
and we hope that there is none. We
believe that fewer girls meet the trains
in Woodstock than at many other
stations. Woodstock has number
of intelligent, attractive young ladies
who are not to be seen at the station
or at other public places. The habit
OF meeting travelling men or other
strangers at the stations, it is to be
regretted, prevails in many sections.
It is to be hoped that it will not pre-
vail in Woodstock, for it gives rise
to uncomplimentary remarks and is
not unattended, in many cases, with
more serious consequences. Another
result of conduct of this kind is that
casts reflections on the ladies OF the
town as a class, and no one should
so demean herself as to injure others
of her sex.

This he did and went in. While Mr..

doubled up and precipitated him into
icy waters of serious depth. Mr.. Berge
reached his hand in and got hold of Mr..
Johnson's hand, but that was as far as
they could get. Someone brought a
rope, but Mr.. Johnson, who had only
one hand free, could only get the rope
around his neck, and of course Mr..
Burke couldn't risk pulling him up that
way. Then DR.. Gunderson arrived on
the scene. but medical service was of
no avail in this case. BY this time AL
fred Edwards and L. c.. Grinde arrived
and the four of them finally pulled him
out. Mr.. johnson came out badly ex-
hausted, so it seems that soft water is
dangerous if you get enough of it.
