Their sufferings may be left to the imagination. From accounts it is clear that they must ave been terrible beyond words.

They were struck in the back and killed: Shot Through Both Shoulders A young man who apparently is not responsible for his actions came within a hairsbreadth of killing Frank Whitfield who lives out on the Dowson farm, on the swamp road north of Port Perry. He and his father, Mr. Nelson Whitfield, were working on their hoe crop at the north end of the farm last Thursday afternoon. Frank had reeched the end of his row before his father, and feeling thirsty, went across the 9th concession roadway to Wm. Carnegie's house for a drink. The boy had to pass the house on his way to and from the gate: © As he was passing the house on his return to the field, he was shot. He ran out of the gate and his father heard the report of the gun and heard his boy cry out, "I'm shot." Mr. Whitfield ran to son's assistance, and took him home as soon as possible. Dr. Robt, Archer was called, and it was found that the bullet had entered the left shoulder, passed . through between the skin and the spine, and out through the right shoulder--a most amazingly narrow escape from death cr being crippled for life. Wm. Carnegie was taken into custody that night and brought to: Port Perry. An examination showed that the shot had been fired through the window and had struck the boy at a distance of about fourteen or sixteen feet. After passing through the boy's shoulders, the bullet struck a railroad tie lying on top of the woodpile, and was found on the ground by Jimmy Harrison. The shot was fired from an old double barrelled gun, muzzle loader, When the gun was picked up, it was found to be loaded in the second barrel. - A preliminary hearing was held before istrates Purdy and Pen- hall, at which the facts already stated were given, It was also shown Carnegie has been living alone, under bad conditions. A medical exam- ination was held on Monday morning, and Carnegie was declared to he of unsound mind, He is being detained until arrangements can be made for his admission to the asylum. Twice this young man attempt- ed to kill his mother, and, after the last attempt, she left him and has been living in Edmonton, Young Whitfield is recovering nicely from his wound, and it is ex- pected that he will be out of danger in a few da ad The "Divine Right" of Merit. The "Divine right" of kings and aristocrats must cease. ~~ No man is born with a "right" to trample on the liberties of his fellow beings, or to use them as tools to further his selfish interests--careless of life, hap- piness, and property. Divinity has taught that service is the mark of greatness, Merit, ability, efficiency, service--these are to be the new marks of "divine right" when civilization again asserts its sway over mankind, ~ The Patriotism of Hard Work. Canada cannot now afford the luxury of loafers. The watchword now must be--"Get Busy," Some men may lose their regular work, but. they must be willing to do whatever they can find to de, and hunt it up at that. Spare time should be used for self improvement, There will be many gaps to fill by the men who are prepared to fill them.' +" Chwilization and industry will require mending after the war.% Are we going to be ready to.do our share? No loafing allowed. No class of people has a better opportunity to show practical patriotism with profit to themselves than the farmers. Farms should have the best possible preparation this Fall for the crop next year. Humanity will be hungry because the war will destroy the harvests of Europe, and destroy the means of growing more harvests. The patriotism of the farmer must be the patriotism of hard work.
