The footsteps of the seventy-one years of his life have passed so lightly over his countenance that one would not think they had all trodden there. He is a mango! active frame, medium height. and a physique that is more remarkable for its energy than for its strength. He moves with a quiet `step, and the attitude in which you iinvariably find him is on of gentle- 'ness and kindness. The _enia1t.y oi` lhie manner makes the most timid of ;his interviewers feel at ease. He is (an attentive listener. and is always [capable of putting himself in the Iother fellow s place. One might say !that he is one of those who would in- ispire men to do things because they -are happy to. follow his guidance rather than because they may feel it incumbent on themselves to obey his `commands.

The plaintiif, who is a returned -suoldier, claims` that he was as- saulted by a brakeman of the de_ fendan.t Company when a pass- enger going from Streetsville to Alton on. the 7th of April last. The plaintiff, who was injured at the front in the foot, had his leg resting on a seat in the smok.. ing car when a brakeman came along and pushed it off the seat in a rough and violent manner, it is alleged, thereby causing the plaintiff much pain and ` incon- venience.

Shortly `before three o clock, `Mrs. McRae awoke `and saw am- es coming from Clark s building. She at once went over to Cough- lin s hotel to warn the inmates. An alarm was sounded at ve minutes to three and the remen arrived quickly and found their work cut out for them, as the fire had spread to all parts of the block. The hydrant being at Mc- A Rae's corner, it did not take long to have three` streams playing on the buildings, one from the rear nearby Coughlinls sheds and the other two at the front. As only eight of eleven firemen were at hand, they hada hard time of it. Fortunately, there was little, if any, wind blowing, but even at that several times it was feared. McRae s property would go. With assistance of volunteers, blan- kets soaked with water were hung in the windows upstairs, thus preventing ames from get- ting in.` Occasionally .the wind veered slightly and sparks were carried across the street into. yards behind. A hole was burnt in the roof of'V. .]ohnson s shop, and shingles caught re on sta- bles at the rear of the McEach- ern Block. They were noticed in time by a sentry on the; roof of A. T. McDonald s building and promptly extinguished. It -was over two hours before" it could be said that all buildings were safe and the fire confined to the Clark Block. McRae s `loss will be chiefly bywater and smoke, and the firemen are to be congratu- lated on their good work in pre- venting the flre assuming larger proportions. All losses are cov- lered by insurance. - Bad Fire in Stayner \ 4 Sun-.-A disastrous `re occur; red early on Sunday. morning, when John Clax-k s shops and pool room were almost. com- pletely destroyed: " ` oL.....n-- `I:~.;p....... 41.....- ,.!..1.-.1.

If you have, you certainly are in a position to appreciate the value of a roof. that is positively water-proof. Some of the troubles common to wooden shingles to-day are that they are apt to split. warp or blow off as well as leak, soon after they are put on. Years ago they were good. but the quality has since gradually depreciated as the available supply of ' suitable timber became exhausted. -Brantford Slates have none of the faults of wooden shingles. They cannot rust. They do not allow rain to be driven under them as do metal roofs. They do not require rigid supporting as do the common tile or slate roofs. On the other hand Brantford Slates afford the utmost protection with little weight. They are made on g._ long-bred felt, V base" which is thoroughly saturated under pressure with asphaltum or mineral pitch. Crushed quarried slate particles are_ then deeply embed- ded in the surface of this base". making it water-tight and reproof. r:rie_ Brantford Slates are made in the natural slate colors of green. red`. black and grey. The colors never fade and the slates do not require painting` nor repairing. These slates are pliabl and lit readily around gables and into the angles of any roof. This means a continuous roof without seams or joints. Sparks die on Brantford Slates. When you have these slates on" you are done with the job. Remember they don't require painting or staining and may be ;selected to harmonize with al- most any exterior color design, and the price is not beyond your reach.
