think we will have to try some method to keep the room in order I What can we do asked Kathie expectantly for mammas plans were generally delightful ones have been thinking the matter over and decided that I will put an empty barrel into your room and when Jane attends to her work up stairs in the mornings she shall pick up every loose thing in your roon and put it the barrel Then the room can be kept tidy and you will al ways know where mamma didnt seem delightful mamma went on without noticing Ill cover the barrel and top with some pretty cloth so it need not be unsightly and Day is going to wear the bell now there they are mamma wont you go down and tell explain Oh dear oh dear me Mrs Kent went down to the parlor anl rather nervously told Harry that could not go I do hope shes not ill said Har ry in great concern No no It is not so serious as that but a an accident has Indeed I may as well tell you the truth Straightforward Mrs Kent un- used to subterfuges and so in a few words as possible she related the cir cumstances Harry was too well bred to express anything but regret and readily un dertook to account- for Kathies ab- sence to the others waiting in the to find your things sleigh while Mrs Kent hurried back Somehow this plan to comfort- her daughter At sight of the mother raised her and said mamma do you this will cure me My poor little girl earnestly would be a little better but hope it will will for be want- and what of mamma air the girls to know what it is can tell them Tell them the truth my c course Kathie knew it was no use to plead so went out On it over She resolved to put things away so carefully that the barrel should never hold a single thing of hers never Then nvamma would remove it Next morning Mrs Kent had an empty apple barrel brought from the cellar It was perfectly clean to the eye but had a decided odor of apples lingering about it Mrs Kent fitted a lining of cambric inside and covered it with It was then car ried up to Kathies room and its use explained to Jane who smiled broad ly- For two whole days Kathie h re solve held good and the barrel re mained unoccupied On the day when she returned from- school her lower beds needed weeding and she went for her garden hat It was not on the rack in the hall closet Kathie was about to ask her mother where it was when she remembered it did- The apple barrel never contained aught of Kathies things again and was finally carried to the attic Just how Harry explained to the others never learned for all were too considerate to allude to the veranda to think j the incident that cured

failed to keep track of its progress or to inform themselves as to the ad vantages of the various routes pro posed The Gazette last week had the following amusing article on the The Trent Canal is on way north and will strike Lake coe somewhere in the south but where it is to go after is the prob lem favors the- Severn route but the difficulties to be en countered in constructing it through the rocks of that neighborhood places it beyond the bounds of feasibility The only other feasible solution is the river route Tho residents of that section have long suffered from the annual flooding ot their lands by the congestion of the waters at certain points on the river The canal by making a navigable course through with Kempen- bay as its base and ga bay as its outlet would be immense value to the people living along its course both from a com mercial and educational standpoint The advantage to would of course be incalculable The route may be slightly the longer ot the two but the difficulties of con struction will be greatly lessened as the soil is almost entirely sandy loam and as there is a natural fall the ex penditure involved would he consid erably less We venture to call the attention of our contemporary to the following facts The Trent Canal has already reached Lake and has been in use by steamers this lake for two seasons It strikes the lake not on the south but on the past at 2 The Severn river in- the opinion of the engineers is not only not be yond the bounds of feasibility but is the cheapest and most desirable route- Nottawasaga route is not the only other feasible solution The direct cut from to hay which was examined and abandoned by the engineers 1 f I 1 I cheaper and march the breeze of honor and love Feel Headachy It probably comes from the bile or some sick condition of the stomach or bowels No matter which put yourself with IB right years ago is shorter more route The route is not materially longer than that by the Severn They are practical the same length The sandy loam on the wasaga route is not an advantage but a probable source of continued trouble and expense The rock on the Severn is not a disadvantage but otherwise Nature has made a deep channel through it for nearly the whole distarc with banks that cannot be washed uvay and between which steamers can run at full speed instead of at the slow rate necessary in a sand bank canal The canal has been blasted out of the solid rock for six miles one end be tween the field lift Bal sam lake 7 It would cost three times as much to build the Nottawasaga route as to provide locks at the falls on the Severn to say nothing of the need for a harbor at the mouth of the river she had worn it that morn- look to after a romp with Bruno and left if- on her chair j up to her room it was
