wart, by Rev. A. A. Gates, ably and
hclpfully assisted by Rev. D. Mc-
Lean of Charlotetown. The day of
the service was clear and warm and
thus a. very large number paid their
last respects to their neighbor and
friend. During Mrs. Inniv.n’s illness
when all knew that her disease of
creeping paralysis _was slowly blit
surely doing its \vork,` one of the
most touching features was the close
and careful attention given her by her
son and daughter at home, and this
continued to the time when together
they stood by the grave and saw for
the last tinio all that reiriained of
their dear mother. Mrs. Inman was ii
member of the New,Domiiiion Pres-
byterian Church. She leaves to mourn
three cliildrcii, Grace and Stewart at
home, and Pearl in the West. The
pall bearers werez- Messrs John Mc-
Millan, M. L. A., T. `A. Stewart, Daniel
McPhee, Gilford Lowther, Patrick
Dowling, Allen Livingstone.
A NARROW ESCAPE. -Among the
_passengers crossing by the Empress
‘last week was Mr. Patrick Murphy n
native of Ireland who was a member
of the Princess Patricias Regiment,
-which suffered so badly in the war. Mr.
Murphy was bound for Sussex to visit
his brother who resides there after
visiting friends on P. E. Island. Be-
sides himself Mr. Murphy had five
'brothers serving in the war, the broth-
er in Sussex being the only one of sev-
en who has not gone to the fi-ont. Mr,
Murphy had a terrible experience in
the fighting at Limbourg and has the
marks to back up his statements, in-
cluding a. bullet wound on the arm, a
bayonet cut over one eye and a portion
oi' his leg gone from a shrapnel shot.
He also suffered from gas. his tongue
being discolored from the effects. I-Ie
lay out in the field for 48 hours and but
.for “playing possum" would probably
have lost his life. A German officer
‘making the rounds came across the
_young Irishman and the latter gave up
'sign of life. To ascertain definitely if
he was dead the German threw Mur-
lDllY'S DI`0Sl-rote body from him and the
I young Irishman struck the ground with
terrible force but made no attempt tu
_"save himself falling just as he would
'lf he had no life in his body. This sat-
.isfied the German and some hours lat-
ler Murphy was picked up by a,Briti5h
|Red Cross worker and carried to the
British lines. He was sent to the lios-
Ipital in England and then came to
_ Canada where he had been located for
Isome years previous to the outbreak
of war. ~

number of the farmers on St. Mary's
Road inet in the Schoolhouse on Tues-
day evening last to hear Mr. L.
Lennant of the Department of Agri-

Improvement of the live stock in the
district. Several farmers spoke of the
need for improving the stock and
securing better bred sires. lt was de-
cided to hold another meeting next
week when steps will be taken to
form an association to secure pure

PLEASANT PAR"f'Y.- Kingston
village was well represented when
on the evening of Tuesday, Oct. 19th.
forty-nine members visited the Bap-
tist Parsona.ge,‘North River. In due
time the happy crowd gathered, and
joyfully did the host and hostess br-
ing forth every available seat to ac-
comodate the numbers. First, ' and
especially among the ladies, there was
ii. pleasant time spent in conversation.
Then instrumental music became a
treat, rendered by Miss Barrett, Mrs.
W. Newsoii and Mrs. Gates. Then for
a change, about half it dozen different
parlour games were engaged in, and
judging from the pearls of laughter,
these surely were enjoyed; but just in
the midst of these, the call for supper
was given from the dining room, and
a glance at the heavenly laden and
llantily arranged tnble, was enough
to break up the best game played.
lliut at this time in the history, the
number again gatliered around the
piano ‘and heartily sang a goodily
number of Patriotic airs, until Deacon
Daniel Fraser called the meeting to
order, and as Chairman expressed the
reason for this gathering, namely to
sliow their appreciation to the new
Pastor and wife, and to meet them in
their home. Deacon Fraser then
called upon Deacon .Iaines Homes to
speak a word. Deacon Homes said
that it was not right' for the Chairman
to ste-al all a man’s amunution and
then expect him to fight. All the good
things that lie would have said, Dea-
con Fraser said before him. He, how-
ever, said he could` voice the senti-
ment of the Chair. Mr. Stephen Ack-
laiid, Supt. of the S. School then was
called upon to speak and lie gave a
revie'w_of the recent improvements
in the Cliurcli, and- the aims of the
Future. To these. addresses Mr. Gates
replied. He said in part, that he was
not only the large ,box of oats which
the visitors had -ontributed which
made him glad 'to'/have tliesepeople
with him, but' also that he could meet
them in .social friendly way; he .spoke
of thc- joy it always gave hirii to
preach at Kingston. because oi' the
close worshipful attention given liini,
not only by the older members of
the community, but by the young
ones as well: another praiseworthy
factor was the fact that' in the light
oi' many calls, at the close of a ser-
vice a fortnight ago, Deacon Fraser
called the people ioizethr-1° and collec-
ted altogether $24.00 for the Tem-
perance Alliance. These and many
other expressions would make a mini-
stry to these people a. pleasure, were
among the la.st words of the Pastors
reply. At 12.30 the party joined in
Singing. "God be With You Till We
Meet Again."

WORLD'8 TINIEST OIL PAINTING.
Marvels in miniature are somewhat
common, but the record in oil paint-
ings must surely be held by Samuel
T. Schultz, the world's champion pain-
ter in miniature, who executed a paint-
ing on a grain of corn, which' is now
being exhibited in Camden, New Jer-
sey. This painting, pefect in every
detail, was done nearly fifty years ago
and apart from its face value has had
a remarkable career.
In the course of its journeys to the
various European capitals it was lost
A year ago the miniature was located
through an advertisement, and was
sent to America from Berlin. _ _
The miniature presents a winter
scene, executed with the great care
and skill which made the artist fam-
ous. Schuitz, who is nearly seventy
years old. will never paint another
picture so minute and yet so perfect,
and since its return from Europe
Schultz has received numerous offers
for his painting.
Schultz got his inspiration while at-
,te_iidi|¢-sle firnera|~Ol1~Buclianan, at
lwlieatland, Penn., the home of the
President, in 1868. On his return he
plucked an ear of corn from a field oh
the I’rcsIdent's_ estate. His first in-
teiitlon was to paint a miniature por-
trait of Mr. Buchanan on one of the
grains of corn. After many unsuccess-
ful nttcnipts, he decided to substitute
a landscape. The final result was a
well-balanced snow scene, .with a wind-
mill on one hand. a chalet on the other,
inouutains in thc distance. and a sin-
gle flgure to accentuate the effect of
space and distance.
BY HOOK AND BY CROOK.
Often one hears people say that
they will do is certain thing “by hook
or by crook." This expression dates
hack to fchdal dnvs. snfl refers to the
old forest lows. which gave permission
to poor people to gather wood on con-
dition that they neither cut nor saw-
led timber. Those branches which
they could be carried away were
theirs. but this was all they were en-
titled to_ To pull down dead branch-
es, or remove sticks from the under-
.brush, certain hooks and crooked pol-
ies were brought into use. Those in
tinie came to be called hooks ' and
crooks. By their use the peasantfa
managed to procure all the wood
needed. Hence the expression "by
