As an illustraâ€" tion of certain desirable types of huâ€" man nature, it is essentially true. It deserves to rank among the classical election stories, of which it may be remarked that Canada has a notable array. The Globe‘s story is almost worthy of the one told about Sir John A. Macdonald, with whose name and fame so many good stories are conâ€" nected. In this story Sir John is pictured as calling at a house to canâ€" vass the lady, knowing that if the woâ€" man of the house could be won the men would vote all right. Sir John A.‘s opponent, however, had called previously and being informed that the lady was too busy churning to talk polities the volunteered to run the ‘‘As the doctor passed down the street he caught a glimpse of Mr. Calder still standing in the doorway with the. baby in this armsâ€"the baby that Dr. himself as family physician, had ushered into the world."" . ‘‘No, I have not. As far as I know, on either side,"‘ was the candid reply of the doctor. ‘*They shook hands, and expressed the opinion that, no matter which way the tide of vietory would go, a splendid thing had been done for West Kent as a result of thkir preâ€" sence in the field. *‘*‘The riding had been cleared up,"‘‘ as it were, of all signs of bribery an corruption. ‘*But time was precious. ‘‘Dr. Oliver, who has been fighting hard every inch of the way and takâ€" ing advantage of every opportunity to gain a point, saw a chancee to do valuable soliciting while his opponent was acting the role as nurseâ€"maid, so the adieu were hurried. test which was waging outside. ‘‘Have you seen any corruption in this campaign ?"‘ questioned Mr. Calâ€" der. ‘‘Nor have I seen any evidence of political corruption on the part of any one,‘‘ was the equally candid comment of the Conservative candiâ€" date. ‘""*I gather, she has gone to vote." are perfectly correct."‘ ‘*Then the political barriers were broken down. _ Dr. Oliver, realizing the ludicrousness of the situation, was prevailed upon to enter, and the two contestants, alone in the quiet of the house, discussed in a most friendâ€" ly and candid fashion the bitter conâ€" test which was waging outside. der ‘‘Shortly afterwards there was a knock at the door, and when Mr. Calâ€" der opened the portal, with the baby in his arms, he beheld no less a perâ€" son than his opponent, Dr. C. B. Oliver, standing on the porchway. "‘Is the lady of the house in ?" inquired the doctor. ‘*Mr. Calder had called on a Chatâ€" ham woman to, urge her to the polls. The lady stated she was unable to leave the house as she had no one with whom to entrust her two children. An arrangement was made whereby she would take her older child with her to the poll and then Mr. Calder would stay in the house with the baby until she returned. curred about 4 p.m. on election day, when Rev. A. C. Calder, the Conseryvâ€" ative candidate, met his opponent, Dr. C. B. Oliver, face to face, and in the most unusual and amusing cireumâ€" stances. â€" Here is the story in full as told by The GHlobe :â€" vHE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO No, she is not,"" replied Mr. Calâ€" ND see, boysâ€"you can add all the extra rocker you like, because the lower side of the tube has been specially shaped to conform with the curvature of the blade. Look at the picture. Note part marked "B." Grinding won‘t go near it. The main body of the tube is Has a ROCKER Blade and a SEMIâ€"ELLIPTIC Tube The following is from The Haileyâ€" burian last week :â€" ‘* What is claimed to be a member of the great horned owl family was shot by Mr. H. E. Blackwall in Haileybury on Tuesday morning. The bird was seen in one of the trees near the residence of Mr. D. L. Jemâ€" mett on (Georgina Avenue and Mr. Blackwall brought it down with one shot. _ The owl, which was brought to The Haileyburian Office by Mr. (George Holmes, measured four feet nine inches from tip to tip of its wings and was a fine specimen. ‘Alâ€" though it appeared to be of considerâ€" able size the weight was only two pounds and three ounces. Its taloons were well developed and it was apâ€" parently full grown. It is very selâ€" dom that one of these birds is seen within the confines of a town, but this winter reports state that both these and white, or snowy owl, are being seen in various parts of the country where they are not usually to be found. ‘Dhey are natives of the farâ€" ther north sections of the continent and it is claimed that they are being driven south ‘by a searceity of their natural food, which consists of rabâ€" bits, partridges and other birds and small _ animals. These have been largely killed off this year through disease and other causes and the owls are foreced to move south in order to seeure food. ~Mr. Blackwall states that last week he saw one of the snowy owls in the woods near Silver Centre, where it was hunting rabbits, to all appearances. This is the first of these that has been seen in this district for years. Various authoriâ€" ties on weather conditions have proâ€" phesied that the presence of the owls so far south of their natural habitat is a sign that there will be a long, hard winter. . Whether this be true or not, it is jmpossible to say, but it would appear that the early coming of winter weather may have had something to do with the birds movâ€" ing south.‘‘ _churn while the conversation was in progress. Before Sir. John A. arâ€" rived his oppenent had done so well at the churning that the woman was much impressed. When Sir John A. arrived she was busily engaged hulâ€" ling strawberries and talking to his opponent who was running the churn like an expert. _ Sir John A. was not specially welcomed, but he was soon inside the house and took the job of hulling the strawberries from the lady. He proved very adept at the work, and the lady was soon worrying as to her choice of candidate. _ A man who could run a churn so cheerâ€" fully and effectively should make a good man to look after the people‘s interests in parliament. But the other man, who talked so well, and who was so expert at cleaning fruit also made appeal to her housewifely judginent. _ Just when the favour seemed to be settling on the expert churn man, Sir John A.‘s ready wit turned the tables. Turning the conâ€" versation to a regular dialogue beâ€" tween his opponent and the lady, he distracted their attention long enough for him to be able to loosen the plug by the expert use of his foot. _ The couple were‘ deep in discussion when out came the.plug and the floor was splashed and splattered. Before the surprised politician really knew what had happened he had the churn torn from his care by the enraged lady who roundly sceored him for his gawkishness and carlessness. **Any man who can not be trusted to run a churn‘is certainly not fit to be memâ€" ber of parliament,‘‘ she said. _ Sir John A. won her confidence and the votes of her husband, gsons and neighbours. And the old man smiled. ‘*There is more to politics than makâ€" ing laws or speeches,"‘ he said, *‘ You‘ve always got to watch the clHurn, when the other fellow is aâ€" GREAT HORNED OWL SHOT AT HAILEYBURY RECENTLY Price $599 Silver Duco Finish A branch of the Canadian Legion was recently formed at Kapuskasing.

The outâ€" bound trip will be made by leaving KRouyn early in the morning and arâ€" riving in Toronto the next morning. Tlis will make a very helpful and improved service for Rouyn and will no doubt be duly appreciated. _ In referring to the new service The Norâ€" thern Miner last week says:â€"‘"Snowâ€" mobiles, which operated on the Gowâ€" ganda and other Northern roads will be used and are expected to negotiate the 28â€"mile trip in a few hours. The type of _ snowmobile used in the North is usually a light motor car equipped with runners inâ€" stead of front wheels, and double rear wheels running on endless:chains. For freight service it is proposed to operate three tractors each capable of hauling 20 tons. Freight charges will be at the rate of 74 cents per ewt. and passengers will be asked in the neighâ€" borhood of $5, the price of last winâ€" ter. On Monday the Nipissing Central Rarlway started a schedule of two trips a day between Swastika and Cheminis. Passengers from Toronto and other points south can make direct connection at Swastika and arrive in Cheminis in the late afterâ€" noon.

Although in Canada there is pracâ€" tically no historie fact to back the idea, there is a very prevalent opinion that mines and mining camps are of very short life. When things are at their best, and prospects are rosy, there is a class sure to say : * Oh, yes, things are good all right, but it won‘t last."‘ Everybody remembers how often Cobalt was supposed. to be ready to close up, yet Cobalt is going yet. It has been the same with the Poreupine and Kirkland Lake and nearly all the other camps. It is only a few months ago that these same lblue lads had the Dome all done, and were weeping because the rest of the mines up here would likely follow in the same line. . They had a lovely time just being sad. But the Dome has taken on a new lease of life and all the other mines are increasing production. _ But nothing can disâ€" courage the true pessimists n their despair. They are the most hopeful guys alive in being forever hopless. The attitude of this pessimistic type is very aptly illustrated by a story in The Northern Miner last week. The following is the story as told by the Cobalt journal :â€" ‘‘It sems that one of the Kirkland operators (this is probably not a true story) dreamt he died: and went to heaven. One of the first persons he met happened to be an engineer with a rather lugubrious â€"outlook on things. ‘*‘John,""‘ said the new arrival in # i heaven, ‘*What kind of a place is this ?‘ ‘*Man,‘‘ was the reply, glorious place. _ Yes. â€" But last.
