a Historic Weapon,

Mons, which henceforth is en-
shrined in British hearts, has lcrg
been household word for Scotsmen.
Every boy insists on an excursion to
Edinburgh castle to see Mons Meg.
For Meg was made in Flanders, and
did much havoc at the siege of Scot
fish castles as well as in wars of ad-
venture into England. Partly of wood
and partly of iron, the great gun was
put together late in the fifteenth cen
fury. Cromwell captured it and listed
it as ''the great iron murderer, Mes"
While firing a salute for the duke of
York, in 1852. Meg burst. A century
later it was banished from Edinburgh
to the Tower of London as a useless
gun; but Sir Walter Scott saw ro-
nance and patriotism in Mons Meg,
and persuaded the war office to send it
back to the castle.-London Chronicle.

PosTERITY's DEBT TO TINKER
Itinerant Member Furnished Theme for
One of Wagner's Greatest
Compositions.

A tinker has established himself OPP
posite our house and stunned my ears
all day long with his incessant ham
mering. In my disgust at never being
able to find a detached house protect
ed from every kind of noise, I was on
the point of deciding to give up COM
posing altogether until the time when
this indispensable condition should be
fulfilled.
But it was precisely my rage over
the tinker that, in moment OF agi-
tation, gave me the theme for S1eg-
fried's furious outburst against the
bungling Mime. played over the
childishly quarrelsome Potter theme
in G minor to my sister, furiously
singing the words at the same time,
which made us all laugh so much that
decided to make one more effort.
This resulted in my writing down a
good part of the first scene by the
time List arrived, October IL 1856.

ply.

IF you HAVE LOVED BEFORE
Re sure Your Wife-to-Be Knows All
About 1t, for That Is the Ma
ture Of Woman

Some men seem to have the idea
that TO tell a girl their old love at
fairs is to make her jealous or I'M
easy hencefortn.
This is quite mistake, for II she
is that sort of girl she is not worth
troubling about, and it's better to md
out in time, as a marriage where COM
plete confidence does not reign on
both sides is not likely to be happy
one
However, speaking generally. no
sensible girl really fancles she is the
first and only love, for where is the
man. or the girl, for the matter OF
that. who has never had the shadow
of a passing Irritation before the pres
ent "adored one appeared on the
scene? And, after all, it does not mat
ter very much how many old love
affairs a man has had, provided they
are dead and gone, and he can truly
impress upon his reigning sovereign
that she is the best and truest ana
the last. A great many girls like to
feel that they are the chosen reclpl-
ents of such condolences, and the mere
fact Of being able to chat easily
about old flames will prove that no
sad remembrance is attached
Even if you did happen to have
serious attachment, it is all the more
necessary to be absolutely straightfor-
ward about 1T.
Your fiancee will appreciate your
honesty, and can feel that at all events
there are no unpleasant discoveries
to be made later on, for when conf
dences come too late then real mis-
chief is done, and it takes a noble
minded woman to forgive and forget.

again All who fed shot down At nine
o'clock their positions were ours They threw
away everything they had-rihes, blankets and
knapsacks-in the panic of fear All their trenches
were full of dead and wounded
"Our artillery had come up meanwhile; their
shrapnel tore fearful gaps in the ranks of the
fleeing Frenchmen, they could not scatter in
the narrow valley through which they had to re
treat.

Here are some excerpts from that

Hampstead Township, Of which Free 90
port is part, was settled IN 1913.
South of Hampstead was the great
South Woods. which extended east
and west for miles near the Great
Bay. These woods formerly marked
the creation of the present village Of
Freeport. Little did these pioneers
think that their descendants, many OF
whom are now living in Freeport,
