COOK TEET AGAIN An Owen Sound gentleman writes that he served on the jury in Decem- ber of 1884, when Cook Teet was found guilty of murder, and endeavors to throw doubt on the justice of the verdict. he finishes his letter by saying: "Some two years later I heard that the mother on her death- bed confessed that she put the poison on bread and butter." As a matter of fact this woman, we are informed, was living in a hospital at Whitby only thsee or four years ago. Also, the jury did not sit in December, but in November, ani Teet was hanged on December 5 of that year. The Flesherton gentleman who gave us the facts says that Teet showed him the poison and told him what he in- tended doing with it. This ought to be conclusive. $5.00 in Cash to be Given to Person Who Catches the Mysterious Shopper Hurrah for Santa Claus, the child- ren's friend.

To each boy and girl he will give a bag of candies in which will be a special precium which he can take to the store indi- cated thereon and receive a special prize. There will be about fifty of these special prizes and all those who receive a bag are sure to look inside and see if they are one of the lucky ones.
