Miss Sinclair was called Apon without previous notice, and reâ€" sponded with numbers that showed a diversified repertoire and a uniâ€" form talent. Miss Sinclair was a pupil of Owen A. Smiley, the noted Canadian eleutionist and her work as an elceutionist is a credit _ to her own talent and to the instruction of this master.of the art. Miss Sinâ€" clair favoured <the gathering with very clever renditions of a number of attractive selections, some in Frenchâ€" Canadian style, some in Irish fashion, and one in" farmer mode. The reciâ€" tation about the young man who disâ€" graced his family by his life in the West made a big hit. He fell so low, according to the humorous poem, that he hKad actually been shnt to the Legislature as a candidate for the U. F. O. Miss Sinclair‘s work was much appreciated and she was encorâ€" ed for each selection given. An address on James Boswell, the Seottish author, whoge Life of Dr. Johnson set a new standard. in biâ€" ography, was given by G. A. Macâ€" donald. A feature of this was the question box. Questions on all sorts of subjects, from ‘‘How to Manage a. Wife‘‘‘ to. **Booze*‘ and from ‘Sport‘‘ to ‘‘the High Cost of Livâ€" ing,‘‘ as well as ‘‘Jail,"‘‘ ‘*‘Sceotsmen,‘‘ ‘‘Vanity,"‘ ete., were answered by quotations from the famous ‘‘Life,"‘ to prove the wide sympathies and the extended knowledge of the greatest biographer writing in the English tongue. Mr. M. B. Scott and Mr,. A. J. Downie in brief but able commenâ€" tary expressed appreciation for the address and added interesting aneeâ€" dotes and other data regarding Bosâ€" well. The President, Mr. W. D. Watt, occupied the chair for the evening and conducted proceedings with his usual skill. There were two or three THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO daneess, the usual refreshments, and the meeting closing about midnight with ‘Auld Lang Syne” and "‘God Save the King." A hearty vote of thanks was tendâ€" ered to Mr. Geo. Hale for his kind and able assistance at the piano The resignation of Mr. Thos. Young as a member of the executive of the Society havintk been received, Mr. R. Gray was elected by acclamation as a member of the executive. Capt. Richards and Mrs. Richards returned home on Wednesday of last weekâ€" after a two months‘ holiday in California. SWATTING THE MAN\WHO SLAPS TNE NORTH LAND North Bay Nuggot Makes Titled Writer Look Like Hero of Play Entitled, ‘‘He Who Gets There is a popular comic strip enâ€" titled is Always Taking the Joy Out of Life." It keeps the newspapets of the North busy taking a fall out of the ‘‘Fellers‘‘ that are forever misrepresenting the North and its people. (In a recent case of this sort The North Bay Nugget makes an unusually good job. Ediâ€" torially The Nugget says:â€" An article that will leave its readâ€" ors with a bad taste in their mouths, insofar as North Bay is concerned at any rate, is an autobiography or his railroad life by Sir (George Bury, formerly general superintendent of the district now known as ‘the Algoâ€" ma District of the C. P. R. The arâ€" ticle appears in the current issue of McLean‘s magazine and a large perâ€" centage of it deals with the time spent by Sir George in North Bay. In fact he opens ‘the article with his appointment here and in the first few sentences he gives a hint of what is to follow. tackle that tough North Bay crowd,"‘ is the way in which Sir George. has Mr. Van Horne, then president of the ‘‘Would you prefer a division in Southwestern Ontario or will you C. P. R., offer him the appointment here. With the same characteristic modesty Sir (George decides to accept the ‘‘tough North Bay erowd."‘ After getting over the story of his birth and introduction toâ€" railway life Sir George comes back, again to hisg associations with that ‘‘tough North Bay crowd‘‘ and tells how, early in his career, he was up against stubborn opposition. ‘‘I arrived in North Bay on a bright morning in March 1890 to take charge. Things were so bad that I hardly knew what to do first, but beâ€" gan by asking ‘the chief despatcher where the engines were, in what genâ€" eral condition they were, what the traffic situation was, ete. To use railway language I met my first ‘bucking‘ there and then, and decidâ€" ed to take a firm hand, giving Mr. Chief Despatcher ten mmutes to find out or quit.‘‘ Later in the article he itells about his difficulties in enforeing the rules and how he ‘‘ jumped over the division khopping from train to train,"‘‘ in his effort to find breaking of rules.. He found them, he claims, and found them _ vyery frequently. Continuing he recites one case after another of men who ‘‘bucked‘‘ him, but like the heroes of Alger stories Sir George always managed to come out on top. Not once during the whole article does he speak a word of praise for any man who served him. Neither can he avoid taking a ‘‘rap‘‘ at the man who succeeded him as superintendent. Speaking of his departure from the Bay he writes, ‘*The menâ€"saw me off without tears. They were jubilant when I was sucâ€" ceeded by a gentleman, who in the language of the ‘caboose committee‘ was ‘to much a gentleman to be a superintendent.‘ Not only flattering to my administration but we shall : see as we go on how a strict, versus an easy discipline worked out * In Southern Ontario municipalities at the present time too little is known of the Nonth Country. Sir George‘s article will do little to ereate a proper impression. His criticism of \the Algoma District during his term in office here is unwarranted, according to the ‘‘old timers‘‘ who remember him as a man with whom it was difâ€" ficult to coâ€"operate. Today the Algoâ€" ma District stands second to none in the C. P. R. It is noted as one of the smoothest working districts in the whole system and it would probably be a source of surprise to Mir George to learn that the superintendents who succeeded him, and who made the district what it is, were men who lookâ€" ed upon the employes as something other than were machines.

The Caleâ€" donian Society Burns Banquets in past years have been unusually sueâ€" cessful.and attractive and it is hoped this year to make the event even betâ€" ter than past successes. A proâ€" gramme of especial merit is being preâ€" pared for the evening, to include Highland dancing, instrumental ‘and vagcal numbers, as well as the usual anquet â€" speeches.. The â€" President, Mr. W. D. Watt will propose the toast, ‘*‘The Immortal Memory."‘‘ The beauty and comfort of the Emâ€" pire Hotel, together with the excelâ€" lence of the menu and the service, will add to the pleasure of the evening. Tickets for the banquet are now on sale and may be secured from memâ€" bers of the Society. The annual banâ€" quet is not confined to members of the Society, a limited number of tickets being available for others who may care to enjoy this very attracâ€" tive evening. In some past years there has been misunderstanding in regard to this, and so the President and Executive of the Society wish it distincetly understood that all are welâ€" come to this event and will find the evening most enjoyable. It is sugâ€" gested, however, that members and others alike secure their tickets as early as possible so that the number to be catered for may be known in ample time to assure the usual particâ€" ularly high standard for service for which the Empire Hotel is becoming noted.
