Herbert Fuller, under sentence of three months' imprisonment for sell- ing liquor to these four people, was cal'ed by Mr. Mowat, and said the four used about a bottle of whiskey, {all he had in the house. He was not cross-examined. : Mr. Whiting ejldressed the judge only for a few moments and r. Mowat not at all.

Let Of With Six Hours' Imiprison- ment. Montreal, Dec. 24.--The echo of a three years' old crime was heard when Evarist Leduc, who'gave himself up to Detectives Giguerre and . Jsshorge~ad- mitted to Judge (Choguet that he was one of two men who, on the evening of February, 1907, held up Fredinand Fvans, in his butcher shop, vorner of Demontizny and Champagne streets, at the point of a revolver, and took from him $81 'and a gold watch. Leduc is dying of consumption. This fact, and the fact that an uncle of his in' Quebec has returned to Evans the value of the property stolen, led Judge Choquet to impose the very mild sen- tence of six hours. \ MADE MONEY Dr. Cook WII Not Be in © Want.

Will They Be When Balfour Gets Busy ? = London, Dec. 24.--The Christmas campaign has not clarified the situa- tion, but, on the contrary, has com- plicated the" issues before the British electors. At present signs are not wanting that the ministerialists; from the premier and cl of the ex- chequer downwards, are quite satisfied with the progress made. But, of course, a Vi New Year cam- paign by the conservatives, with Mr. Baliour leading, may change thei confident demeanor. 1 The official announcement is that the writs for the general tions 'will be issued from the crown office on January 10th, thus corres ponding with those in 1908. « This will give the radicals what they claim to the advantage of a Saturday poll in the earlier constituencies. Joseph Chamberlain is makin, for his enforced form by a series of telling letters. one he says: "I do not find any difficulty in an- swering 'those who profess to believe that tariff reform will make food dear- er. In Germany it has not raised the cost of living and I do not see why it should do so in this country. On the other hand we may arrange mat- ters so that goods imported free are raw material, not finished manufac- tures." zoom At Newport, Lord Tennyson read a letter from Mr. Chamberlain, stating he hoped this elegtion would be the end of a system which had made pos- sible all we complain of, especially un- employment. Lord Milner, speaking at Cardiff, said the present duty -of the people was to consider the relative position of both parties and disentangle it from irrelevant matters which had been raised to prejudice one party. The people had to consider the finan- cial proposals of the government against' what was really the true in- terests of the country. John Burns, at Nine Elms, com- plained of the placards and cartoons of the unionists which, he said, were scandalous. They were issued, he de- clared, in the interests of the food taxer and the trusts, which would get a footing through the tariff and bring about the moral degradation of the people as well as political corruption. I was monstrous that London should be subjected to grotesque exaggera- tions which hid the facts from the people. Mr. Macnamara declared the party had let itself in for a defeat. So far as he could see they knew it; they knew they could not face the constitutional issve raised by Lord Lansdowne"s motion. They, therefore, rushed frantically from one expedient to another. made elec- up In tory record ne ------ FOR WESTERN FARMERS. Money rom Crops Finds Outlet in Luxury. Detroit, Dec. 24.--J. C. Coe, a Sas- katchewan farmer, dropped into De- troit, Sunday, and by the time he had finished his errand, yesterday, he had purchased thirty automobiles for his farmer friends of the far North-west.

Coe paid $4,- 500 for his own machine, and 'the cars were all high-grade, several be- ing the $4,000 to £5,000 class. Bump- er wheat crops in the North-west were the cause of so much prosperity.
