This morning the young lad w"shed to g0 to the bush with his father, who for some days has been getting out the summer's wood, and he was taken along. The young boy, want- ing to be a woodsman like his father, took along his little play axe to chop twigs and otherw'se have a good time. The father, other work, and as he was occupied for some time did not notice his boy. Looking up he was horr'fied to see blood 'oozing from one of the child's boots, and, seeking the cause, found that Jamie had secured his axe, which was very sharp, and in | trying to wield it had struck the foot, severing the three toes com- pletely. The father rushed the boy | medical | to the house and secured attention.

G. S. Henry Says Two Additional Snow Plows Have Been Procured Preparations have been made by the Ontario Department of High- ways to provide to a reasonable ex- tent for 'through traff ¢" on Pro- vineial roads this winter. Hon. George S. Henry, Minister of Highways, stated yesterday that two additional snow plows had been secured and will be operated in the country around Ottawa and the other has been detailed for duty between Kitchener and Stratford. The addition of this pair of mach- ines brings the number in use by the Government up to foyr. The Government w.ll also press into ser- vice a number of trucks that are specially equipped for snow-clearing work, so that in all some twelve machines can be operated to main- tain a state of reasonably uninter- rupted traffic on the main roads of the Province. Unless unusually heavy snowfalls set in, Ontario, according to Mr. Henry, should not suffer much from the point of blocked highways.

Laetitia's Can Not Be Altered Turin, Dec. 29.--The declining years of Princess Laetitia, widowed, bereft of her only son, devoting her sad life to good works, had a flush of romance after all, despite her prosaic courtenance. Her will re- vealed: it, and King Victor Emanuel, her nephew by marriage, is angry. The King's sorrow and that of her equerry : and) lady-in-waiting 'when she died suddenly a few weeks ago, was tempered by the thought of her beautiful country home in Pied- mont, her magnificent' jewels and Bonaparte family plate and the con- siderable fortune left her by her Bonaparte forbears. But when the will was opened, its sole beneficiary was a Captain Fischer, whom nobody had ever heard of. The equerry and lady-in-waiting were speechless but the King called in authoritative tone for his lawyers. "Break: this will," he or- dered. Not even the King could do that, they said; the Princess was in full possesison of her faculties and the document was legally flawless. As they recovered from their dis- appointed amazement, the lady-ia- waiting did' recall a Captain Fisch- er. He was. a dashing cavalry offi- cer when Laetitia, nearing 60, met him on the Riviera six years ago. He made himself so agreeable that she even entertained him at her country home. So royal circles are gossiping. It saddens their hearts to think of all those Bonaparte heirlooms and lire going to one whom, they consid- er an upstart, an untitled nobody.

These investigations are mow be- ing carried on separately by three agencies, in addition to the Mayor's Traffic Committee, whose tentative proposal that subways be built under downtown streets was given endorse- ment yesterday by Mayor John W. Smith. They will be concluded and presented to the Council soon enough to enable that body, if it approves the plans, to appropriate funds in next year's budget to start the work. The general impression that the proposed subways will be tubes sunk beneath the surface is a mistake, ac- cording to S. E.
