He was not afraid of the horse but he was very anxions to get away from the constable in the buggy behind the horse Tbe man lives near Mil lerstown. but on acconnt of various misdoings has been hiding in the woods near the stone-house for a month or two J and he got into the habit of taking an evening ride on his bike past Elora. Constable Glenn of West Snnbnry set a trap for him at the store there, but it miscarried on account of his assistant not being on the lookout, and then he jumped into his buggy and pursued his man, with the result as stated, and the e>nstable now has a good bike on his hands which the owner can have by cilling for it in person. —Last Monday the b»ys and girls started to school again after a va • ition of four months, during which time most of thetn were running wild, ac cumulating health and vigor to help them with their studies. They have had a long rest, an l the little boys will be delighted to resume their places in school. They have no doubt looked forward to it with eager expectation. Boys are naturally very fond of school. Realizing, as they all do. that their ability to serve the race—to be useful to their country and a credit to Ihem- selves —i" entirely a matter of intellect ual culture and development, boys of all ages and conditions almost fall over themselves to get t > school. A b >y's happiness and position in life depends absolutely upon his brain power If he is ignorant and uncouth.'and competent to perform only the coarser kinds of lal«or, he will be slighted, neglected and humiliated at every turn in life. That is perhaps the reason why almost all boys are so anxious to go to school, and so economical of time when they are there. Kcmioii.
