While this may have been good political stilll' to feed ‘em, we would like to know just what. kind of weaning apparel that Englishman purchased. True, it is possible to get apparel at the prices he has stated. but it is not at all probable. From what we have learned and read, prices in England are lower than in Canada for the middle class quality of goods. but we have no doubt a man with lots of money and was so inclined could outfit him- self in dear old Lun’non at just as great a cost as this fellow did in Montreal. It all depends on how imuch brains and how little money you possess. IAIILTOH BANK CLERK COIII'I'TBD SUICIDE IOIDAY Adam Park. Stinson street, Hamil- ton, enmloyed by the Bank of Tar- onto in that city, committed suicide Monday by shooting himelf in the stomach. Park was only 23 years of age and{ had been in the bank’s employ for about a month. He was not actually short in cash but he was unable to strike a balance, being out some 8500. He worked all Saturday after- noon and all day Sunday trying to find the balance and it apparently unhinged his mind for he went .to the basement of the bank and sorted over great, bales at paper from scrap baskets in an alert to find the miss. figures. The confusion he left a ows that he mt have been at work in the‘ basement for hours. ' CHORUS GIRL AT NIGHT; IAID All) TBIBP BY DAY Chorus Girl Admits Stealing Joni: To Purchase Sealskin Goat. um Diamonds. Another good lesson has been taught the stage-struck rural or small-town girl who thinks of the gay footlights of the Operatic or con- cert stage as a place where plenty reigns and diamonds and ulra-fash- tenable clothes are the rule rather than the exception. This time it is a chorus girl out of the Ziegfeld Folâ€" lies who is the victim, and as the Follies is considered one of the top- notch shows of Broadway, one can picture the salaries that must be paid in the thousands of poorer and less remunerative attractions that are always on tour in the big town. The dispatch says : Such was the. (-onfession made to- day (Doc. 1) by Helen Paxton, chorus girl in thv Ziegfeld Follies, according to Hm policn. A Follies beauty by nightâ€"the en- \‘y of hm‘ sisters of Broadway.

Police said they found pawn tick- M5 for stulon gvms in Miss l’axtnn’s mmm. Like everything else, the stage is good to those who rise to the top, but it is hard, hard, work. and many girls and young boys who would “just love to he an actor" will find they have picked about the hardest proposition in the country in order to wrest their bread and butter from the world that. owes it to them, but is someimes mighty hard to collect, from. There is no question that Miss Paxton was receiving sufficient remuneration to live, and live well, but the Ziegfeld Follies is a high- class cast and lives accordingly. The stage as a profession is all right. if you like hard work, but is not the plare of amusement and laziness that, a lot of people think. Neither is it as wicked as a lot of others would like us to believe. HANOVER GIRL GUIDES COMMANDER IS HONORED Mrs. William Ruttle Receives First “Eagle Owl" Certificate Issued In Dominion of Canada.

DOLLAR EACH Judge Klein gave his decision on Tuesday of last week in the Scone U. F. 0. Club case, which has been one of the longest drawn out cases to be tried at the county court house at \\ alkerton in many years. About 30 in all, with the exception of Chas. F. Janke, Waltei Grantham, David Alb1 echt William Yager and Arthur Ellis of Sullivan Township, were held to be members of the club and 'will have to put up their share on the Chesley UFIJ. store and other .commercial transactions.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE The Klondyke has no bananas on the ist of December, according to a dispatch from Dawson City. Fifty below zero is registered in the upper Yukon Valley, and Dawson is not very warm. The great cold is strid- ing southward and the Yukon’s warmest autumn is at an end. This pleasing dispatch will aqt as a warning to residents of Old Ontar- io to be on the lookout for colder weather, and in a few days it is pos- sible that our warm autumn will also be at an end. It is to be hoped, however, that we will be spared the “50 below” for a few weeks anyway. It takes much less than that to make a fellow grab his pants and shoes in the early morning and make a hasty hep-step-and-junm to the friendly warmth of the kitchen stove. But 50 below! \Vuhen it comes to that. it will be high time to lay a mat at the side of the bed so that your warm feet won‘t make blisters on the linoleum.
