Two of the present, and everyone in the big crowd of members and their friends found the night a very pleasant one. An imâ€" promptu programme of musical numâ€" bers and literary selections was enjoyâ€" ed, each number being something speâ€" cial. ‘Coffee, sandwiches, cake, etc., were served, and dancing concluding the evening‘s pleasure. The Central school orchestra furnished the best of music for the dance and the work of these young musicians was much apâ€"~ preciated.

Apparently the boys, who are bright little fellows around thirteen have been mislead by reading about "daring robberies" and through shortâ€"sighted people glorifying sneak thievery by giving it the glamour of words and the romance of sensationalâ€" ism. Chicf Greer and Officer Sally worked patiently and kindly with these lads to show them that there is nothing daring about this sort of thing, but that instead it is a miserable business, foolish, unprofitable and unsportsmanâ€" like. The parents of the boys are also apparently doing their best to get the boys back into the right track and into sensible ways of thinking. The three lads will come before Magistrate Atkinâ€" son in the Juvenile Court tomorrow. iand Mr. Atkinson may be depended upon to assist in turning the boys from their wrong modes of thought and action." The following is from The Advance of Nov. 2ist, 1923:â€""Two men, Messrs W. Fiss and J. Graham, l had an odd but lucky incident last week in connection with a little hunting trin. They were out in the Whiteside townâ€" ‘ship shooting partridge, but fortunateâ€" | ly each man was also carrying a heavier gun in case bigger game might be encour:tered. They had roused a flock of birds and had separated a little so as to get the ‘birds as they came up between them. However they had to forget this particular bunch of birds in a big hurry for unexpectedly from the bush came two big bull moose ani charged furicusly down upon the two men. They had barely time to get the guns from their backs and take aim before the moose were nearly upon them. Both the big moose were shct down in their tracks, Messrs Fiss and Graham were able to take a wagon right un to where the mooze lay dead, load the carcases and bring them to town."

Third Avenue | On the face of it the robbery seemed A startling. one. Two men walked into a Kirkland Lake store where a gold brick was on display for advertising purposes. They managed to induce the proprietor of the store to go to the rear for som»e article or other that is little in demand. When they got the proprietor at the back end of the store they deliberately lifted the "gold brick" from the display window and ran for it. They disappeared before the proprietor realized what had been attempted. Naturally, he was not pleased to lose his advertising device, but the loss was more or less humcrous when it was considered how the bo‘d thieves would feel when they realized that their scheming and recklessness had been in vain and that the gold brick they had secured was nothing but an ordinary brick heavily plastered with gold paint. These bold bad robbers after all were pretty unsophisticated in the excitement of their daring theft or they would have noticed by the weight of the "gold brick" they stole that it was only a "gold brick" of the type that the rubes of long ago were supposed to buy from the city slickers Down at Kirkland Lake last week there was some excitement when it was reported that there had been a daring theft of a gold brick from a shop winâ€" dow. Later, there was much amuseâ€" ment at the expense of the daring thieves when it was learned that the gold brick was of the "gold brick" variety, being simply an imitation. It was a good imitation but its value was thousand dollars or more on the wrong side of what a real gold brick would have been. The daring robbers were preperly goldâ€"bricked.
