St. Catharines has established a curâ€" few bell, and at 9 o‘clock all the \kid saints must keep off the streets on pain of being taken charge of by the police. Now if some way can be de: vised to keep the adult siints at home of nights, it would be a complete job, â€"â€"Welland Tribuna, § "Business is poor, very poor," The stingy merchant cries.

Naturaily enough, with the revival of the game of baseball, and especially with the enthusiasm with which it is being greeted in this town, comes the old practice of playing "catch" on the street. But a "quietus" has been put on it already. _A byâ€"law forbidding throwing a ball on certain streets was passed some time ago and now it is being enforced. We have no fault to find with that whatever, but what we would like to know is why are not other byâ€"laws and laws attended to with the same promptness. We have had cases of violation where the reâ€" sults were far worse than any that ever occurred from ballâ€"throwing and not even the first move was made to stop it. : THEINDEPENDENT Space / One column..........

If you are a merchant,. don‘t adver tise in your home paper ; buy a rubber stamp and use it.
