Premier of Hungary, who told his natton‘s parliamentary â€" representaâ€" tives that Hungary would have to abandon her attitude ofâ€"irreconcilable hostrlity toward her neighbours and settle her differences with the secesâ€" sion states of the former Austroâ€"Hunâ€" zarian Empire. at No. 7 Third avenue, next to Thermâ€" ault Hourigan‘s tailor shop, show the skill that he hbhas attained. The window is full of all sorts of faney wicker work specially suited for the Christmas time. There are chairs, tables, doll cradles, electrielamps and scores of other attractive articles. Any of these would make especially appropriate Christmas gifts, being made in Timmins, the clever work of a Tinmins man who has been totally blind for years. Not only will any sales help Mr. St. Pierre, but the artiâ€" cles themselves will be sure to be speâ€" cially attragtive as Christmas gifts. Mr. E. St. Pierre, who has been blind for some years past, has never been contented to be a burden on others. With commendable courage and patience he has not only made gallant effort to support himself and get along without dependenee upon the kindness of others, but he has also had the thoughtfulness and the talent to learn a trade that makes selfâ€"support more practical. He has learned the trade of reed work making, and the specimens of wicker work now on exhibition in the store The Mail Empire says: ‘* No man can draw the longâ€"brow with such moral deadly effect as the man who can give it the twang of piety.‘‘ Last but by no means least were the two midgets, Master (Gordon Smith, 65 lbs., aged 10 years, versus Master James Kenny, 58 lbs., aged 11. These two youngsters were the spice of the programme, mixing it up from the start of the gong to the finish, and giving the crowd double the worth of their money. If the crowd enjoyed this, the two lads also had a happy time, with no decision and no one hurt. CHANCE TO SECURE GIFTS OUT OF THE ORDINARY The main boxing bout was Adelard Belanger, Ansonville, 170 lbs.. vs. George Bertrand the speedy Cochâ€" rane kid, 145 lbs. This was a feature well worth seeing. Bertrand, alâ€" though 25 lbs. lighter had it all over ms big opponent. The general feelâ€" ing was that he should have received the decision, but the bout was called a draw. _ Belanger‘s style of boxing was all defensive and try as he would Bertrand could not draw him out. The wrestling bout, Lee Lepage, the Abititbi Wonder, 155 lbs., vs. Ardic Tassie, the â€"Slippery Lad, 133 lhbs., was another case of the smaller lad being the winner. This bout was the surprise of the evening, Tassie being so slippery that Lapage could not hold him. Lapage, whoâ€"is a smart wrestler and understands the zyame, underâ€"rated ns opponent, who fHoored him in 7 minutes, 2 seconds. This bout lasted about 20 minutes, the referee deciding in favour of Tassie, this being a povular verdict. In the preliminaries, Carl Masseau outclassed Nathan Abramson and reâ€" cerived the decision after three fast rounds. Abramson, however, landed a few good ones. Mose Daigneault and Albert Sandâ€" ron were a couple of heavy boys who made things lively all the way through. No decision. WRESTLING AND BOXING FVENT AT ANSONVILLE According to advices from Ansonâ€" ville, the first big boxing and wrestâ€" ling tournament staged at the Star Theatre, Ansonville, on Saturday, Dee, 4th, under the direction of the District Sport Association, a great success. There was a large atâ€" tendance at the event and all who attended were well pleased with the evening‘s entertainment. _ (Credit is given to Mr. Lozen and Mr. Harry Rothschild for the efficient way in which the event was managed. ‘The District Association intend to stage another tournament in the near future and it should be even more popular. Programme Staged by District Assoâ€" ciation Proved Very Big Sucâ€" cess Mr. Albert Bosse acted as referee Aitention of advertisers is again ealled to the fact that during the Christmas rushall changes of copy for advertisements must be in by Tuesâ€" day noon each week. This is for the benefit of all concernedâ€"advertisers, readers and The Advance. _ Unless changes of advertisement are in the hands of the printers in good time, the best can not be made of them. If unreasonable delay were allowed, it would mean that the paper could not be issued on time, which is not to be considered. Prompt issue of the paper on schedule time is an absolute necessity for the interests of the newspaper, the readers and the adverâ€" tisers can easily adjust matters so that they may have their changes in earlvâ€"the tarlier the better. ALL CHANGES OF COPY MUST BE IN BY TUESDAY NOON THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO. JUNIOR HOGCKEY TEAM NOW PRAGTICHNG ON THE IGE Coâ€"operation Between Players. Lads Give Promise of Making a Team W"th Talking About The Junior Hockey boys have comâ€" pleted their indoor hockey training and are now practicing at the Timâ€" mins Rink on the ice. . Before the closing practice at the High School (iyim. the boys presented Mr. J, Johnâ€" son, the caretaker of the High School, with a pipe and tobaceo pouch, as a mark of the appreciation they felt for the splendid service, and coâ€" uperatum Mr. Johnson always â€"showed during tke practices. Mr. R. Charlebois made the presentation. . The coach, operation them and should be Mr. J. D. Brady, also spoke in an apâ€" preciative manner of the assistance Mr. Johnson had rendered him in his willingness to always assist in every way possible the boys at their pracâ€" tice.. He also expressed the appreciaâ€" tion felt by the team and himself toâ€" ward the splendid assistance Mr. Treâ€" leaven and Mr. Henry, of the High School staff, have rendered during the period the boys were using the High Sehool Gym. for their practices. The Junior Hockey boys are now working hard to get themselves into shape. At a practice on the ice on Sunday afternoon the youngsters showed up well, and the large numâ€" ber of ‘"rail birds"" saw the material for a good team. The lads are comâ€" ing along fine, and the greatest coâ€" operation seems to exist between them and the trainer. This is aseit Mr. Brady is the official traimer and the boys have to do what he wants them to. If a player has a complaint he should let the coach know, but if overâ€"ruled get out and play the game. The supporters of the Timmins Junior team expect th6 boys to coâ€"operate in every manâ€" ner possible, with their eoach, and when asked to do anything at the practices to go right out and do it. Coâ€"operation between coach and hoys extends off the ice. To get into shape and keep in shape requires hard work, and it is up to the boys to remember the dictum of their coach even when not at practice. . With the spirit disâ€" played so far by the greater majority of the boys the public of Timmins will see a Junior Hockey team take the ice this winter which will go a long way toward bringing fame to the blue and gold of this town.
