In June of this year His Majesty King George VI of Great Britain conferred upon him the title of 0.8.13. which makes him a member of ”the Order of the British Empire, one of the highest honours the King can bestow upon a Canadian citizen.

The call was to R. Lavigne’s, 12 Messines, where fire started from unknown cause in the attic. The only loss was some clothing stored in the attic. The loss would not exceed $20.00. There was no insurance. The firemen made short work of this fire. Record of No Fires Broken on Sunday. There were two calls on Wednesday, though neither was due to the elec- tion. At 12 noon there was a call to 143 North Road where fire from a chimney cleaning hole set fire to shav- ings in the cellar. Again the firemen made quick work of that fire, having it out with only about-$10.00 loss by dam- age to the house. Just as tlie train was starting, a flus- tered-looking man dashed into a smok- ing compartment, to be greeted by a friend already there. “Horrible!” gasped the newcomer. “And how’s the wife?" “About the same,” was the retort. â€" Globe and Mail. “Indeed?” replied the ailor, equally curtly. “Perhaps you’ve brought my last bill to be receipted, too.

Arriving at a strange hotel a ner- vous old lady thought she’d better know where the fire escape was. So she started exploring. During her tour, she found herself in a bathroom occupied by an elderly gentleman. “Oh, I'm sorry!" he twittered. “I was looking for the fire escape.” Continuing her search she heard the pat of bare feet behind her and a shout made her turn.
