Kelsey, Photographer.-â€"July 12tf A NEWSPAPER is sometimes more interesting for what it leaves out than for what it contains. It is said that a certain man reCently was very sad because his wife had gone out of town on a visit which she would not shorten in spite of his appeals to :her to come home. He finally hit upon a plan which had the desired effect. He sent her a copy of each of the local papers with one item clipped out and when She wrote to find out what it was that he had clipped out he refused to tel] her. In less than a week she was home to find out what it was that had been going on that her husband did not want her to know about. OUR new fall blousings, pretty pat- terns at persuasive prices, at H.

THE evil practice of endeavoring to discredit a witness out of his own mouth by unfair, malicious and insin- uating questions as to character has been copied from the “shyster law- yers" in the American cities. It is contended by authoritative spokesmen for the legal profession that only a "shyster" will descend to conduct in cross-examinathm which would not become a gentleman. and that no judge fit to sit upon the Bench will permit counsel to insult or bully a. reputable. truth-telling witness. It is insisted that it is just as much a mis- carriage of justice to permit the abuse of a witness as it is to permit the in- troduction of incompetent evidence, and that a case should be as freely reversed on the one ground as on the other. â€"Toronto News. MR. \Villialu )IcGirx-, of this city. yesterday received a telegram convey- ing the. sad news of the death of his daughter-iu-law, Mrs. Wm. )IcGirr. J13. of Nanaimo.

He is now engaged in Miami, a city of about six thousand inhabitants in Florida. situated on the Atlantic coast about 26 degrees North Latitude. In a future issue we May give a few ex- cerpts from the interesting letter. THERE are a lot of foreigners hawk- ing around the country with packs or baskets and should be stopped, and if the Retail Merchants' Association was to take action some of the nuisance might be abated. There is no reason why the public should be gulled and trade spoiled by these unlicensed ped- lars, who make their pretended inabil- ity to understand English an excuse for the practice. It would be. money well spent to employ a. special agent to round up a score or so. Sooner than pay the heavy license fee they will skidoo the land and seek the sparsely settled sections where there might be some. excuse for their operationsâ€"Ex.

A few weeks ago a pane of plate glass had been broken in the front of Parker’s Drug Store. and this was replaced with a new one, Mr. Kress being engaged in the work. It appears he was standing on Elvidge‘s dray taking up some of the fragments of the old glass when the horses step- ped forward and Mr. Kress fell out. [n the fall he tried to save himself by putting his hand on the sidewalk to lessen the jar. The results were as stated and a few weeks forced idleness will now fall to the lot of the injured man who suffers very much because of the accident. The Busy Store on the Busy Corner.
