On New Years Eve a ball took place in Mr. Curnoclian’s hull, The attendance wus unusually large.

Now Years Day opened tho hockey season here by a mutch between the St. Clements aggregation und onr own team, which has made its first stroke at becoming famous. A crowd of something less than three hundred witnessed the pret tiest and fastest game of hockey that has ever been played on Lin­wood ice.

Although the St. Clement’s for­wards mado many excellent rushes, Berlct and Storm were as impreg­nable as a stonewall and Heimbuch must have been able to see through and around all the players once as he was uble to meet tho puck at every dash and then az he sent it on its return trip it was amusing to see,tho interlacing of hockeys the Linwood forwards threaded their way among their o >p meats only to be met by an equally strong defence. Thus the game went on but no goals were scored and ten minutes extra time hud tube grant ed in order to break the equality at the close of tho ten minutes, the saints, only by a desperate on­slaught and wounderful cotnbin ation succeeded in breaking Lin- wood's defence and the game v: won (for them), score I—0 for St Clements.

Ears that stand out from the head like (laps are often seen on religious men, but parsimony Is apt to go with them.

A long shaped but small ear lying close to the head denotes refinement, delicacy or perception, but also timidity, and sensitiveness. A thin, transparent looking ear shows delicacy and poetic feeling; a thick ear. the reverse. An ear set rather low on tho head denotes good brain capacity; sot high or on a level with the eye, a limited mental ca­pacity is denoted.

for all sorts of domestic purposes In Africa. They may even be seen draw­ing plows in the interior of the regency o f Tunis. You may remark a woman and a camel harnessed to the same plow, and you hesitate to decide which is the greater outrage. They are also used for drawing water from the strange, cumliersome. old fashioned wells o f north Africa. Their chief use. however, is for caravans. You may be­hold them bringing in huge canes of dates from the oases, or you may see them with great tentllke structures of red silk upon their bucks.

FRED. DEBUS, Manager.

DURING the two years of its existence the Wellesley Ma­

ple Leaf has had the good fortune to be a popular newspaper in the section it covers. Its circulation has never been less than 600 copies weekly.

Josfas an orator on the ro.'trum (in order that a l l of his hearers may get the benefit of his sj*eech) should speak distinct enough to bo clearly understood by the person sitting farthest from him in the hall, so the Maple Leaf aims to make all its news valuable and in­teresting to its most distant sub­scriber, knowing that all the rest will thus bo kept equally posted.

The Maple Leaf aims to give a l l the homo news a l l the time.

Now in order that a l l of the home people may get a l l of the home news without interfering with their taking the usual num­ber of outside journals, we have decided to reduce the size of the Maple Leaf and devote its reading spaco entirely to home affairs so that we can, without loss, reduce its price to a figure that should put it in every homo in this section, thus giving it a circulation of 1000 this year.

We ask our friends to help us in this matter. The coming year will be laden with important local af­fairs : The Maple Leaf will keep its readers posted on the vital rail­way question ; our municipal affairs will be carefully recorded ; the sug­ar beet interests watched, and in every way that a local paper can benefit its community the “ Leaf” will not be lacking.

The great bulk of the people of this section take outside papers. We have made close arrangements for clubbing this season, and can give rates that will make the Ma­ple Leaf cost you almost nothing for next year.

ClubbingTo Subscribers who pay in

advance for the Maple Leaf we can quote addi­tional cut rates as follows.
