Previous to that he had serv- ed in the 14th and 47th regiments. In 1887 he was transferred to the manent service dates back for five or 8ix- years prior to this, for he did duty here 'with the permanent force during that time. When he joined, "B"" battery was but an infant to what it is now from a mounted point of view. It was partially garrison artillery.

Mdssie has been second ac cording to seniority since the Can- ada Army Veterinary torps was or- ganimed abeut two years ago, but has been P. M. O. of the district, and now the thind division, since that position was established. As is generally known Col. Massie was born in Kingston, and earlier in life followed the chemical and drug busi- ness. For a few years he resided at Smith's Falls. In 1895 he attended a four months' course of instruction at Aldershot, England, and before returning to Canada was for two weeks at the British war office. He saw active service in South Africa during the Boer war, going out with the artillery and mounted rifles with the second contingent. While there he gathered wide ex- perience, being attached to three columns, and senior veterinary offi- cer of each. On special service he was at Kimberley for a period, and went as an inspecting officer up as far as Mafeking. [At is with an appreciation of years of valuable mwervice that the militia department and his frends see Col. Massie retire, and express the hope that he will continue to enjoy year: of health and happiness. HAVE ONLY COMMENCED To Po Work Necessary On the County Roads.

"1 wish I could 'tell youn," said Samuel Cole to the Migistrate, when he was asked as to where he secured the liquor. Bumvel, who has been before the court many trm- es, is on the "'prohibited list" and thus he was questioned by the mag- israte. : "I guess 1 was drunk all right," 'said le, "but I simply can't tell you where 1 got the lguor." "I remember meeting a man on the street. This man asked me if 1 would save a man's life: I said that I would try, but that I was not a doctor. I gave this man ten cents to get me some beer." ' At this stage the magistrate did not stop to listen to the rest of Cole's tale, but ordered that he be put away. He will be given another chance to disclose where he secured his liguor.
