Timâ€" mins was smaller than toâ€"day, but it was seldom that there was not at least a couple of cases. You see there were so many strangers comire into town, then, as now. The idea of no police court cases was so novel that The Advance made mention of it. To the comment, The Advance added :â€" *The nearest approach to a case was a charge laid by Chief Roy, of South Porcupine, against a man whose lady dog blessed him recently with seven nice little puppies. It is alleged that the eruel man picked out the best three of the puppies to keep in the house, and put the other four pups, alive and kicking, into the garbage ean. The case will come before the magistrate again, though not, as Irish Peter says, on the charge of ‘‘bulying a live animal without a death certifiâ€" P:o ’. #.,*, # .‘ #4 *# .0 # .O *# 4# 44 + @ 4$4 t#A 4 *# *# *# #% 44 #% *# d4 *# +4 *# *4 # Ld *4 F #."% / *4 # % #4 # # #4 4 % *4 + *# J4 # 4# *#* * #% 4# 4 *# #4 L # *4 # #® #4 *# # #4 4# < *4 # 4 #4 *# # 4# *# 6 ## * # #$4 #4 * #% #4 ® % *4 # # *4 # 4# ## *# * #4 * < *4 *# ** *# * "® #4 *# # *4 * *# #4 ®# #4 * *# *# # 4# *4 # *4 * °+ *# . * “.“ *4 * W <€ #* * *4 # 4 *4 cate. Ten years ago, as more recently, there was discussion of a new tax collector for Timmins. Councillor A. R. Globe suggested that it might be a fitting and proper thing to offer the position to Jack Munro, former "Mayor of Elk Lake, returned soldier of the famous Princess Pats regiment, and well known in sporting, mining and other cireles in the North Land. Jack had just returned from overseas, with one arm paralyzed through injuries recéived at the front, but it was felt that this disability would not interâ€" fere with the duties of the office suggested for him. The other memâ€" bers of the council heartily supported Mr. Globe‘s suggestion, and so the appointment of a tax collector was held until Mr. Munro could be comâ€" municated with. â€" It may be added here that while Mr. Munro could not see his way clear to accept the post, he appreciated very much the kindly thought and interest that prompted. the suggestion made by Mr. (Globe. There was a big carnival at the Timmins Rink ten years Ago, and the array of costumes was vyery noteâ€" worthy. The costumes were remarkâ€" able for their ingenuity and originâ€" ality. The prize winners Were:â€" lady‘s _ costume, â€" Miss Margaret Adams; girl‘s costume, Miss Cauley ; special, Mr. Spence and Miss Lessard ; gentleman‘s costume, Mr. T. Nixon; boy‘s costume, Elmer Hopkins and Jack Joyner; special, Mrs. Laverne. On Feb. 2nd, 1917, the D.Y.B. Club held a dance in the Masonic hall, â€"a neat sum being realized for the 228th Battalion.

The guests were quickly but quietly notified and then an alarm Nn o e UX was sent to the fire hall. So speedily did the firemen respond that they were on the scene ready for action before the guests were all downstairs. Luckily, however, the services of the brigade were not needed, and there was no danger, a picce of burning cloth causing the smoke that provoked the alarm. One of the humorous inâ€" cidents of the alarm was in reference to two gentlemenâ€"one tall and slim, and the other short and §tout.~â€"-who were’occupying a room together. On hearing the alarm, they rushed to get into some clothes, and the tall man got into the short man ‘s trousers and the stout man tried to use the slim man‘s pants.

Some people seem to think it is a mark of superiorâ€" ity simply to kick. It is not. The most noted kicker on earth, with one unnamed exeeption, is the silly son of the jackass. The mule is a great kicker. The trouble is that he kicks backwards.â€" He doesn‘t get anywhere with all his kicking. He never acâ€" complishes . anything but to smash things to smithereens, and to fill his heels with slivers sometimes. He is useless when he is kicking, but, luckâ€" ily, the fourâ€"legged mule doesn ‘t kick all the time. ~The other day a local man wias kicking about the Board of Trade, and kicking because The Adâ€" vance did not kick the smithereens out of that; local institution. Upon inâ€" vestigation it was found that this man did not attend the Board of Trade meetingsâ€"that he neglected to do anyâ€" thing himself. He simply stood still and kicked,â€"backwards like the mule. Kickers are a necessity for progress, but they must kick to some purpose. They must kick forward like the raceâ€" horse, if they want to get somewhere.
