Other pansies are growing there and living in beauty despite all the frosts and threats of frost. Picking pansies outâ€" side on November 12th, is a pretty good recommendation surely for the climate in this North Land. PICKING PANSIES IN 4 TIMMINS IN NOVEMBER Tuesdav of this week was a big and busy day at the office of the Tax Collector. There would have been a natural rush of business for the day, it being the last date for the payment of without penalty, but the fact that two holidays interâ€" vened between it and the last previous day for the office to be open made Tuesday a regular whirlwind for rush . There was a crowd lined up before the office all day, as many as 50 men, woméen and children being in line at one time. Tax Collector W. S. Macâ€" pherson and his assistant, Miss Garâ€" vey, had a desperately busy and tryâ€" ing day, but speed and efficiency carâ€" ried through successfully.

Others have taken the attiâ€" tude that the Town has made reâ€" matkable progress and secured modern 1mprovements and that all this costs money. They feel that the Council, as a whole has given good service, and done the best possible under the cireumstartees. It is recognized that taxes are high, but it is equally élear that modern improvements cost money. It is doubtful if the solkhd people of the town will be anxious to dispense with the services of men who have given unselfish and talented. service to the public during the past four years.

The Chairman pointed out, however, that the conâ€" cession would only apply for a year or so, as when the North land highâ€" way was ready for use there would be no need for the privilege, as autoâ€" mobiles would be able to travel on the highway from the North to the South and back again.

Maundâ€"met a deleâ€" gation of the Board of Trade in conâ€" nection with certain questions which the Timmins Board has been taking up with the Commission. These quesâ€" tions include:â€"that prospectors be alâ€" lowed to carry their canoes and supâ€" plies as baggage while on genuine prospecting trips; that the freight rate on pulpwood be reduced; and that the time limit be extended for the free return of automobhiles taken south on vacation trips. The Comâ€" misson gave the delegation the most considerate hearing and promised that the subject referred to would be dealt with at the regular meeting of the Commission this week.

It had been very rightly considered that it was not good to keep girls out as late as one and halfâ€" past one as had been the case in times past. The Chinese had agreed to the restriction and had carefully observed it. Restaurants in town kept by white people, however, had continued to have their waitresses stay until one and later. . This was not fair, and Mr. Caldbick thought the Council should make a byâ€"law that would apply to all alike. His clients were ready to abide by any regulation along this line and to observe it carefully. Counâ€" cil agreed with Mr. Caldbick in the matter, and on motion the Town Soliâ€" citor was instructed to draw up a byâ€"law prohibiting the employment of female help in restaurants after 11 p.m. The regular meeting of the Caleâ€" donian Society of Timmins this Friâ€" day evening in the Hollinger Recreatâ€" ion Hall is to be ‘‘Lucky Night,"‘! and will have many very interesting features.

Mr. M. B. Seott is to give an address on ‘‘Superstitions and Signs.‘‘ and then the idea is to have others take part in a discussion of lucky tokens and unlucky signs. In the Highlands particularly, signs and omens and portents formerly had much attentâ€" ion, and Mr. Scott will undoubtedly deal with the topic in unusually inâ€" teresting way. Anyone who can add any information relative to Scottish signs and omens is expected to assist. There will be songs and other musical numbers and other entertainment that will make all agree that it is a ‘‘Lucky Night‘‘ all right. Refreshâ€" ments will be served as usual and there will be the usual dance or tow, the whole evening promising to be a ‘‘Lucky‘‘ one for all attendâ€" ing.

Forrester took charge of the meeting, performing his duties as viceâ€"presidâ€" ent in a very capable manner. Miss Jones kindly brought her gramophone, which, with the records supplied by Mrs Wheeler, afforded splendid music for all the dances except the Paul Jones. Miss Simms played the organ for the latter. Much of the success of the evning was due to the readiâ€" ness with which the members took part in the games; those having forfeits to redeem showed themselves to be real good sports, and provided a great deal of fun. Musical chairs, matchâ€"box race, and *"‘fruitâ€"basket"‘ were some of the games enjoyed. The applause with which Mrs. Forresâ€" ter‘s recitation was received was very and she replied with a short encore. â€" Next came the supper providâ€" ed by Mrs Dunbrille, Mrs. Hudson, Miss. S.
