ibe more numer ous than those destroyed by war going back over the history of the temperance movement he referred to the monster petition presented to and granted by sir william hearst which gave

last week it must have reminded them of the grim trench warfare twenty years ago on this particular morning instead of a great german army making life miserable it was a small black and white animal which took the situation most cooly and held the trench to himself until one of the workmen ibombarded him with stoneswhen he gave up his life but left something behind that was not exactly the perfume from a bed of roses councillor weldon was one of the early arrivals at the scene of activities on the memorable morn ing when tho great find was made in a deep trench evidently the little animal commonly and cor rectly called a skunk had fallen in during the night and was unable to get out even when the councillor and his workmen with pick and shovel gazed down on him he stood apparently undisturbed but small as he was no one attempted to go near him and it was not until some ammunition was brought up that a well directed blow ended the career of something that had been a pest to the district off and on all the men on the job agreed that they had good reason to remember the mur dered skunk all that day goodwood toronto flashes mrs john lee of stouffville has been
