Mr. Johnston, the Chief of Police, says that he got the bottle in the pocket of Labertus and that it was Mountain Dew. I know that on the street Mountain Dew has great signicance. It is a name given to liquor generally sup- posed to be produced in the bills, or- iginally Kentucky, I believe, but is homemade. It may have been one per cent. or ten per cent. or it may have been cold tea with alittle av- - oring.

Mr. Spencer opened his remarks by say- in that a certain ruler of England remarked that when death came (Calais would be found written on his heart, but when I pass away I am sure that Millbrook will be engraved on mine."' He looked upon the great friends; they had got hold` of not on- as a man ought to live, although he Yet he hadaimed to do his duty. He and his family had re- ceived nothing but the kindest treat- ment. He had spent nearly thirteen years in this parish, the best of his ; life, and it had been a great pleasure i to serve. Regarding his work over- , seas, he was not afraid to go as a A combatant officer, but thought he : could do more good by accepting the - chaplaincy offered him by the late `General Sir Sam Hughes. .It was a pleasure to meet brethren of all de- nominations at the front. On many- occasions he had had opportunity to speak words of comfort or write let- ters home for the slowly-sinking or dead soldiers, and as he saw their smiles of appreciation he was reas- ;sured, so he had packed his sword in his box, not to be taken out until his 1 `return home. He pointed to the Past , :Master s Masonic Jewel pinned on his breast with humility and pride-I that he had been honored with the. Master s chair and with the badge, l 1 which is not usually presented to `Past Masters. He said that even the stones and brooks and sign posts. along the road to the out-of-town ` churches and to the homes of his par- iishioners were dear to him, recalling l I 1 l 1 l as they did so many happy associa- tions. His congenial service with Canon Allen would always remain in his memory. 15- u `g.

Mr.i Thompson held his hearers in rapt! attention from start to nish, and as a result of his visit here many of our citizens learned more about the feathered songsters we have with us than they ever knew before.
