Amarilly was a child of the slums, the eldest of a family of eight, all wage earners, except the baby. How prosperity in the end came to the Jenkins family, how Amarilly got an education, how the Boarder married Lily Ross and built the Annex, and the adventures of the Rector‘s surplice are told in a wholesome little storyâ€"a book for the many who are weary of problem novels. In the human appeal the sweet humorand genâ€" uine cheeriness between the covers there await you many laughs, and a tear or two as well; and Amarilly is a constant surprise and delight.

EAST TRY ME HAMILTON $1.00 Ontario 10c 15¢ I have not time to go any farther with the first speaker, but will now take up part two, which constituted a lantern slide of new â€" war pictures that had just been received a day or so before. These were shown by Rev. Mr. Birks, who, along with Col. Grafâ€" ton, explained different views, as they were thrown upon the / canvas _ by young Mr. Birks, who did his part exceedingly well. The views were very interesting and instructive, as well as the Colonel‘s address. The life size pictures of the proâ€" minent men who figure with the Allies, kings and emperors, in this great struggle for right, freedom and peace, were enthusiastically receivâ€" ed by the audience. Now, before I close, I want to give the readers of the INDEPENDENT, who have not seen a sharpnell shell, a slight description of one. They are being made in Dundas and I got a view of one through a window. There were two exploded shells in view and one complete one. A shell ready for use looked to be about 10 to 12 inches long. The . exploded shell seemed to be made of steel, the top part blown off. Thickness of the shell, I thought, would be about oneâ€" quarter of an inch. By the side of the shell lay a round copper: box conâ€" taining the explosive and a steel tube about half an inch in diameter, which I presume, was placed in the centre of the shell, for firing purposes. In a dish close by was seen 375 large lead bullets. I think, in making up one of these death dealing sharpnell shells, the explosive is first put in, then probably the steel tube in the centre and around this the 375 balls or bullets. . The top of the shell was rounded off somewhat like a _ glass fruit jar and I thought it looked as if the cover screwed on. I â€" may have a better opportunity of learning more about the makeâ€"up of the Sharpnells the next time I visit Dun das. The Colonel said that the boys were so determined in the matter, that if the orderlies had tried to take them by force, there would have been a declaration of war right there. Once there was a company of solâ€" diers sent to the front. When on the Plain it was customary for them to take down their tents by dropping them on to the board floors and leavyâ€" ing them for the orderlies to gather up and care for. A lot of the boys, who had a feeling of sympathy for their horses, clubbed together _ and out of these tents and floors, they constructed stables for fifty or more of their animals and when the orâ€" derlics came along and demanded them, they were given to understand in a most enmiphatic way that they could not have them. "Know â€" Canada‘ Make â€" Canada known!" is a striking sentence _ in the War Year edition for 1915 of that popular booklet "5,000 Facts About Canada," compiled by Frank Yeigh, of Toronto, who knows Canada as proâ€" bably few Canadians do. It is true that he who would know Canada and its wonderful growth in any one year, will find this annual publication "worth its weight in Yukon gold or Cobalt silver," while as a means of making the Dominion known in other countries, it is no less valuable. Fifty chapters are devoted to such subjects as Agriculture, Area, Banking, Cenâ€" sus, Immigration, Mining, Manufactur ing, Trade, etc., and a page of Canaâ€" dian War Facts show how upâ€"toâ€"date it is. Sketch Maps are included _ of the Dominion in 1867 and 1915. Copies may be had from progressive newsâ€" dealers or by sending 25¢ to the Caâ€" nadian Facts Publishing _ Co., 588 Huron St., Toronto, Canada. & The speaker told us that the differ ent companies of soldiers were placâ€" ed here and there on the plain, some times five miles and more apart. This, was done for various reasons, having in view the best _ interests of the troops, the chief one being of a sanitary nature. At first, the boys were in tents then later they were placed in more comfortable quarters, in cottages or shacks as we would call them, but their poor horses had to stand out in the open in all kinds of weather. He then gave us an interesting deâ€" scription of the great Plain of Salisâ€" bury. It is, he said, about 40 miles square, made up of what we would call a rolling country of farms and farm houses. Soil is a mixture of yellow chalky substance with black muck, and during the wet season, be comes very soft and tenatious and it‘ {1g no wonder the boys _ had such a swap of Salisbury mud that they will never forget those plains. Salisbury is a town or small city, 85 miles from London. I think they motored out and when they got to the Plain, they found plenty of mud, of which we have heard so much. I think he said that they were an hour going two miles. The night was unfavorable and the walking soft and slushy, but a goodly number came out and at a few minâ€" utes after 8, the speaker took the floor and gave us a lively, spicy deâ€" scription of his trip from London to Salisbury. He said they expected to be there for Xmas, but were someâ€" what disappointed and had to take their Xmas dinner on the road. Dear Sir:â€"Being in Dundas last Friday evening, I was asked by Mr. W. A. Davidson of the firm of Grafton & Co., if I would like to go and hear Col. Grafton give a description of his late visit to Salisbury Plain, at the monthly entertainment held in the Audience Room of the new public liâ€" brary. At 8 p.m. we were on hand and met the Colonel, Mr. Moore, Princiâ€" pal of the High School, Rev. A. Birks, pastor of the Methodist church, all of whom we were acquainted with.
