The farmer that we used to
know has passed from off the
earth. It's years since stories
OF his trials caused universal
mirth. With bristling whiskers
on his chin and hayseed in his
hair the artist used to picture
him astride an old gray mare.
Or buying gold bricks in New
York, or blowing ont the gas:
such jokes as these an editor was
pretty sure to pass. He always
has a carpet bag: his name was
81 or Josh, and every time he
spoke a word he always said
'B'gosh." He's gone, this type
we used know in weekly maya.

tickets will be sold to those who
pay 35c. Each coupon is good
for one chance on the gold piece

him on Thanksgiving night. All
the tickets taken at the door on
Sunday night, Nov. 26, and on
Thursday night, Nov. 80, will be
placed in a hat and thoroughly
mixed. Some one in the audience
will draw one out, and the hold

At the meeting of the Town
Council Wednesday evening and
after the general routine of bust.
ness had been transacted, a gen.
eral discussion was held on cer-
tain questions that tend to pro-
mote the welfare and further the
protection of property rights
within the. town. For some ,zo.-
son, and for which there is no
plausible excuse, it has developed
that the majority of the property
owners have become very careless
in regards to the dumping of
ashes and the burning of rubbish
about their premises. The Of
ficers, whose duty it is to report
such conditions to the council,
have had occasion to put out sew
eral smoldering fires within the
past month that. had they not
been discovered at the critical
moment, may have caused un-re-
parable and serious damage to
the business interests of the
town. The city attorney has been
instructed to prepare a n ordin-
ance dealing with these nuisances
and we hope that the council will
see that it is Immediately passed.
A good stiff fine imposed upon
some of the carless ones would
be but right as only the co-opera-
tlon of the property owners and
the officers, coupled with our
splendid fire fighting equipment
will it be possible for US to re-
duce or even maintain the pres
ent insurance rates of the town
(which we all know are now out
Of sight) and give us the protec.
ton we are entitled to. Let US
think more, talk less and work
together.

laurels but he could never be beaten.
Every third day the fever in his
bones seized his body in grip that
could not be denied, shook it till it rat

hot, teeth chattering and then clenched.
and then chattering again. But on
the days between Alan made up for
the lapse. He became a devil hanging
on the backs of his men and driving
them to superhuman efforts. Terror

from home. A wilderness stretched
between them and the sea. The sea It,
self was none Of theirs; it was but an

smile terrified more than the raised
