R. M. Mussell came near losing his
driving horse a few days ago, in fact,
the animal may remain a permanent
cripple as it is. He was driving east
of town, when the horse became
frightened at a pack peddler and
plunged to the side of the road and
onto a barb-wire fence,c'utting himself
horribly. To make the matter worse,
the peddler was so low and contempt-;
ible that he would not summon aid.
Peter Murphy, however, who Tives
near, kindly came to Bob's assistance
and the animal is now in Mr. Murphy's barn, where it is doing as well
as could be expected.

in its efforts to check the evil referred
to, and in the punishment of all offenders. The fines collected in all Cases

Life in the great city may" be all
right, but what man is  there  who
would trade his home in the country
[ toWn,-Clare for instance, for one with
twice tbe value in the city?    With a.
far more moderate salary the rising
young clerk, manager, business or laboring man in the small city lives like
a king io comparison to the man  of
equal position in  the large centre.
Here he has his own little home* by
lease or purchase, with God's pure sunshine on four sides of it.   His children
have their own grass-plot for their
play ground.   His porch is his evening
pleasure and his Sunday delight. Trees
shade his street, cool his room,  and
make living a comfort.    His  friends
live all around him.    He knows the
man who lives next door.   His neighbors' children are his children's playmates.   His social life has a meaning
to it:   it is a joy and an exhilaration
to him,   When he goes out in the evening it is into a home gathering where
eyery face is familiar, and where he is
known and welcomed.    Ho has time-
to read, something which the man i&>
the larger city, whom he envies, has-
not.   His church is to him like a family gathering every Sunday morning..
The man in tho pulpit is his pastor,
who, perhaps, has baptized him, • married hi oa, and will baptke and marry
his children.   Respected in his circle
of friends, every step of progress ia
his business is known to tbem,. and is
the cause for congratulation.    He is
within easy walking distance of his.
place of business.    To  his  wife his.
home is her joy, and not her care. She-
has time for her children, her home,
her social duties, her reading aud her
church,   The blood of health rushes
through the veins of his children as
they sleep and play in an unpolluted,
atmosphere.   Life means  something;
to such a man: it means happiness—
the true measure of all success.
