People who carelessly refer to Musâ€" koka as ‘‘Muskokee‘‘ and *‘ Muskoâ€" kie,"‘ and so on, are not so far out as may appear. In a recent address at Bracebridge Dr. J. B. MeDougall, asâ€" sistant chief inspector of schools for ()ntano, told of the romance in the origin of Muskoka distriect. He said that following the battle of the Plains of Abraham, the loyal British settlers felt it their duty to expand and conâ€" solidate British territory in Canada. To this end, they approached the chief of the Chippewas, who oceupied that portion of Canada between Seâ€" vern Bridge and North Bay, entreatâ€" ing him to honor his evidence of lo alt\ to the British by transterrxég this territory. He responded and the treaty was arranged for this area of ‘‘rock and lake.” on condition that it might still be used as a **happy hunting ground‘‘ by* the Chippewas. The chief‘s name was signed as **Misquuickkey,"" or in modernized form **Mesquaukee‘‘ and from this came the name of the district ** Musâ€" koka.‘‘ MUSKOKA NAME DERIVED FROM OLD INDIAN CHIEF Temiskaming, Toronto _ Beaches, Toronto Woodbine, Toronto (Greenâ€" wood, Toronto _ Riverdale, Toronto Eglinton, Toronto St. David, Toronto St. George, Toronto St. Patrick, Toâ€" ronto St. Andrews, Toronto _ Bellâ€" woods, Toronto Bracondale, Toronto Dovercourt, Toronto .

S. Ireland, as president. ‘*The goat, like all other farm aniâ€" mals, can be spoilt by ignorant handâ€" ling, but the ordinary care given to a cow on pasture in the summer and in the stable in winter gives greater reâ€" sults according to the outlay, for hay, roots, etc., necessary for its upkeep. ‘*I paid $47 for my first grade doe, with a two months‘ old kid at side, and I was fortunate enough to buy my buck at a disposal sale at a very reaâ€" sonable price, considering that his sire had been brought from California at a cost of $150. So that when I advertised doe and buck kids at $7.50 and $5.00 respectively, I had no idea that I was asking what was considered in this district to be a price beyond all reason. My goats may be seen by the motorist passing, and much wonder has been expressed at seeing them grazing quietly like cows, and also that they did not climb the house, also that the tin cans still remained in the hole dug for them, and that the bottles (left by our preâ€" decessors, as we are prohibitionists) still remain here, for other uses if necessary. «* have kept these useful and econâ€" omical little animals for some years now, and during this time have been beseiged with inquiries as to prices, quality, present and past history of goats, etce., but when I have written asking $20, $25 for a goat giving from one quart of milk per day upward, I have never received a reply, though in nearly every case the inquirer had a sick child to whom the milk was necessary, or they had paid a large sum to doctors, etce., ete. Fron~the fact that I have never received a reâ€" ply, and to the tone of inquiries made personally, I have come to the conâ€" clusion that the price was not only considered to be excessivgâ€" but even ridiculously so, for so small an aniâ€" mal. NORTH LAND WOMAN MAS GO0D WORUS FOR THE G0AT Krugersdorff Lady Says Popular Idea of the Goat is Away Out. Some weeks ago The Advance pubâ€" lished an article showing that at least one Northern Ontario man was sucâ€" cessful in establishing a profitable and helpful goat farm. This man was a Brower farmer, but evidently there are others beside him. + The New Iiskeard Speaker last week the following article appeared and it should ‘be of more than passing inâ€" terest :â€" ‘*The old idea that goats are mostâ€" useful for disposing of the old tin cans and such rubbish, and among other wickednesses, prone to rob the wash line, especially the good man‘s best red flannel shirt, according to Mrs. Anderson, of Krugerdorff, is outâ€"ofâ€"date. Now the goat is a doâ€" mesticated animal with a place of its own in the family life with, possibly, interest and ability to diseuss the family affairs. . Anyway, see what Mrs. Anderson says in a letter sent us. +~ much has been written lately in various papers about the goat and its milk, the latter being said by the highest and best medical authoritiee ‘to contain properties which suit the most delicate digestive organs, give health and growth to the infant deprived of its natural food, and hope to the tubereular, that I make »no apology in asking you if you will kindly make it public that goats are not given away with a pound of tea, nor are they to be bought for ten cents (as some years ago baby chicks were sold in New York at Easter) to be a plaything for the child of the house. medical doctor, will give instant relief from NERVOUS HE ADACHE, BACKACHE, ABDOMINAL PAIN and DEPRESSION KILLAKESâ€"the pink candy tablet that you chew â€"contains no narcotic or habit formâ€" : ing drug (f’éx . 6 The Happiness premiumâ€"KILLAKES â€"A message of relief that every woman will welcome.

At the Judge‘s court of revision on the Sudbury ~voters‘ lists, 95 out of 97 appeals were granted. One of the two disallowed was that of a man dying since the appeal was entered. Many people in this town and disâ€" trict have felt for some time that unâ€" less something changes there is goâ€" ing to be a serigus accident or series of accidents in regard to the riders of bicyeles. Although, so far, the luck of Timmins has held without a fataliâ€" ty occurring, many drivers of autoâ€" imobiles have gathered gray hairs through the antiecs of the eyeclists. The walking public have had their nerves frazzled through the common trick of the cyelists in using the sideâ€" walks for a wheelâ€"way. It appears that stringent regulations are necâ€" essary to protect the public and cyâ€" clists themselves. For months now, and with good reason, mot@rists and others have been prophesying that ‘‘some of these lads on bicycles are going to hbe killed,"‘"‘ with their tricks of shooting in front of cars, running without lights, and so on. had a light. ‘‘If there is not already a byâ€"law governing this practice, he said, it would appear that there should be one passed before anything serious hapâ€" pens. If it is not unlawful to ride a bicycle at night without lights, the practice will contiuue until there is a serious accident and perhaps loss of life. .This is a matter that might well be taken up by the various muniâ€" cipalities."‘‘ The difficulty is not confined to Timmins. _ The Haileyburian last week had occasion to deal with the same question of the danger to and from bicyclists without lights at night. The Haileyburian says:â€" make it unlawful for eyclists to ‘ride at night without carrying lights. He says it is very dangerous, especially when rounding a bend, to meet up suddenly with a boy on a bicycle, and that it is â€"a miracle that there have not been serious accidents from this cause. This motorist claims that on a recent evening, in coming home from Cobalt, he met five different bovys on bicveles and none of them ALL BICYCLISTS SHOULD BE FORCED TO CARRY LIGHTS ‘*‘One Haileybury motorist claims that there should be a byâ€"law passed by the municipality which would Puzzle Mgr., Room 207, THE MAIL AND EMPIRE, Toronto, Canada This is one of the greatest array of Cash Prizes that has ever been offered in a Mail and Empire Puzzle Contest.° That‘s what it is, folksâ€"and you can be a winner.

It is felt that the Districts of Temiskaming and Cochâ€" rane, who have waited so long for ths highway, should be given the adâ€" vantage of the extra business that is sure to come through the opening of the road, for a longer period next year than that proposed by the goâ€" verment when they stated that the road would be completedâ€" by the end of August. Whether enough pressure can be brought to bear to accomplish this end remains to be seen, but apparently a strong effort is to.be made. Considering the narâ€" rowing of the gap which divides the districts from the older part of the province, it should be possible, with the amount of work that can still he done this fall. If the road can be opened early in the summer it will be the occeasion of great rejoicing over the fulfilment of a long cherished MRS.
