Langan, chairman; W. Os- borne, Dr. Baker, We believe Mr. Mcllhargey and Mr. Preston have gone south for the purpose of getting new ideas for the park. It is possible that | they will bring back some wild ani- | mals for the proposed Zoo of the aquatic species. The nucleous of - this attraction was started when Mr. J. C. Garden presented the Board with the swans and Dr. Monteith | the four wild ducks. Ex-Ald. Thos. Henry also presented a pair of owls ' but they were not wise enough to stay ina good town for they left the pretty river scene and moved to a more rustic environment. It is hoped that these gentlemen in their endeavor. to satisfy their worthy ambitions will not capture alligators or sharks. It is well known that they are big game hun- 'ers. Anyhow the Park Board will | be glad to have something to show the old boys and girls in August. 'Didn't Want His Cow To Go Dry Name Was Not Agreeable to Patrick. | handsome cow at the Exhibition in Guelph not long ago. It was said this cow gave 32 gallons of milk a day. Everyone knew the Irishman | who had her on exhibition and it has been printed in a number of papers her wonderful milking cap- acity. Pat had brought this cow over from New York and among the admirers was the former Hon. Peter Smith. Peter asked the Irish- man what he called her. -- In fact, | Peter was just as much interested in cattle then as he is now in "The Mitror" business. Anyhow, the Irishman replied that her name was Daisy. Peter, thinking it would be a good chance to advertise On- tario and he suggested that instead of calling this renowned cow Daisy that he should call her " Ontario, where the cows parents came from. "Begorra," says Pat, 'De ye think I want me cow to go dry?" ---- Our Business Is To Keep The Wheels of Commerce Turning! | Weare Machinists, Repair Men, Boilermakers, Oxy-Acetylene Welders, | Blacksmiths, Sheet Metal Workers, Millwrights, Steam Fitters, Draftsmen We are at your service 24 large. of boilers, tanks and their appurtenances.

There is scarcely a person living who will ever buy for themselves the product of the Stratford Casket Co., which was recently started in Stratford by Mr. A. _J. Hartford. Someone else will do the purchas- ing for you. Thi8 is about the only garment that anyone is satisfied to jet another purchase for them. It is pecnliar, too, how happy we are to get into a cosy bed with the an- ticipation ofa restful sleep, and how we dislike the idea of the bed that will contain our remains in its last resting place, which is always an undisturbed sleep. ~ '"In fact," said Mr. Hartford, whom we were conversing with the other evening: "It is peculiar how the majority of people dislike to look at caskets. I'min a business that has no attractive features that we could advertise. Hardly anyone ever looks at our goods except the retailer. At the Furniture Ex- hibit most of those who noticed our line immediately turned away. Of course there were some who joke about what they would one time have all to themselves, and those who do admire our goods always pick out a style that is the poorest seller. If women did the choosing instead of the men there would be many more couch cases sold than there are now."' Mr. Hartford says the Stratford Casket Company has already re- ceived some nice orders since com- miencing operations in the city. Some Record ' Bill--That was a great record the Canadians made in France -- 108 goals in four games. Ed--That's nothing, know of a better record than that/ Bill-- What record is that ? Ed--The "Cameo" Ten inch, double side phonograph record at 50¢ at Flanigans Music Store. Bill--A ten inch record for 5oc ! Well, I'll say that is a RECORD. C. B.C.
