Just last Sunday u pastor while
giving his evening sermon got the cart
before the horse in a rather funny way.
He was telling of his boyhood days and
how the mothers of that time wovc all
the clothes. Now he had his talk ar
anged something like this: 1.-THE
mothers of my boyhood days WOW all
of our clothes, they made skirts for the
girls and pants for the boys" but in
giving it to his congregation he got
the girls where the boys ought to have
been, then seeing his mistake he turns
right around and laid it on the Ger
mans.

The report finds that the Grand
Trunk needs Immediately to expend

and that it cannot carry the burden
which it has undertaken in respect to
the Grand Trunk Pacific; that the
Canadian Northern would require
