THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE. BY AUNT JUNE Our Boys and Girls Corner Registered According to the Copyright Act. DEDICATED TO EVERY BOY AND GIRL IN CANADA My clfvar lioys and Girls; I have been wondering what fortune j the fishermen of our League are bav- ing, thoee who wrote that they would spend a good many days o( the sum- mer fishing. As I write, there are , fishermen drawing up their nets out ! of the sea and pulling up the lobster baskets, funny little round basket*, | shaped rather like a bird cage with I an opening in the centre underneath, where Mr. Lobster crawls up to find i the bait that is placed inside, and once [ in. he is so long and clumsy in his I movementfl that he cannot get out ! again. Every evening these baskets are set out at certain places along the sands ! when the tide is ready to come in and • at low tide next morning, that is when the sea has gone out a long way. leav- ing a big stretch of dry sand, the fish- ermen haul them in and generally â-  there are several lobsters in each basket. I Out at sea, I can see the sails of | Jive ships, fi.shing smacks they call ; them here. These have been away all i night and are on their way into the , harbor to unload their catch of fish. It is very early yet and not many peo- ple are up beside the fishermen, so some will be able to have fresh fish for breakfast. School Days Again. Fishing days with you are over, or I at least holidays, by the time you read this letter, but you have another i jolly tim.e ahead with school open. i The first week back at school is i such an exciting time I think. â€" meet- ing all old friends and getting into i new classes and planning things tor i the term.

I love to hear all about the prizes you win and the marks you get. In the Children's Newspaper, a weekly paper published for boys and girl.s, which I am sure you would all love, there ie a wondeful story called The Kite. This story is about the days of old in England, when the barons were not always kind to those who lived upon thheir estates. Near the castle of one very rich and powerful baron, says the story, there lived a poor woodcutter and his only son. a fair-haired lad of about ten years of age. The woodcutter was a clever and well educated man Having fought . with the Black Prince in France, he had learnt the language and had been taught to read and write in both Eng- lish and Latin, which was very nn- i usual in those days -for a poor man. The baron, however, was very dis- pleased that a woodcutter should be well educated, for alas, he himself did not know aa much, so he forbade the woodcutter to teach his son the art of reading or writing. Education, he said, made poor peo- ple dissatisfied and therefore the more likely to rebel against those over them. But the woodcutter wish- ed to do the best for nis son, and re- fused to obey the baron, so he was taken and shut up in the highest tower of the castle, fully sixty feet from the ground. You might think by the strong way castles were built In those days, that the poor woodcutter would have a hard time to escape. His son, however, had made good use of the knowledge his father had taught him, and one evening he made a kite and flew it over the top of the castle near the window where his father lay in prison. The father caught hold of the kite string, on the end of which the hoy had tied a strong rope. He son pulled the rope up and tying one end securely to a strong bar in his cell, he squeezed himself through the tiny window and escaped down the rope to find his son. When the baron found that both the woodcutter and his son had es- caped from his cruelty, he put it down to witchcraft. It is a good thing we have no foolish barons like this one nowadays, don't you think so? Yours lovingly, AUNT JUNE.

He offered to build a road from the Grand River to Am- herstburg, which he estimated would cost about £20.000. If the Govern- ment preferred he would build all the way from York to Amherstburg, but the cost would be about double the first estimate. The colony, of course, was not in a position to pay such a bill, but Lord Selkirk offered to accept wild lands in payment on each side of the highway. But the executive placed an extrava- gant value on the undeveloped terri- tory, with the result that the offer seemed very expensive. Then he re jected the proposal, which would have given the province good roads at an early date and so have brought thousands of settlers to it at a very early date.

Every item is select- ed by a trained man because it has an interest for you. says John Blake in the Evening World. It teils in daily chapters of human progress, of science, invention, state- craft, government. Read it with attention, thinkiag a.-^ ycu read, and it will enable yon to talk ably and convincingly on all impor- tant topics. The student of the newspapers is an educated man before he has studied them long, for they are a printed university, and have far broader and more comprehensive courses than any college can pos- sibly have. Do not be a headline reader. Do not skip from page to page, from column to column, so you may glean the news in a general way. Read your newspapers thoroughly aad at- tentively. Read each article to the end. That will consume but little time, and after a week of such read- ing you will be amazed at the benefit you have derived. No man. however rich, could af- ford to search for himself the iafor- niation that the newspaper daily places before the eyes. Business men depend upoa the newspapers. They are more of a busi- ness necessity than the telegraph or telephone. They are also a necessity to you whoever you may be.

The word sympathy is from two Greek words meaning "suffering with." It is a change of attitude or position; a putting of ourselves in the other man's place, so that we feel what he feels and know the e.\- perieuce throH.Eih which he is pass- ing. A selfish man can never be a truly sympathetic man. He lacks the ability to put himself in the place of another. The manifestation of sympathy is not so much a carefully planned and reasoned process as the instinctive and almost unconscious outgoing of the loving heart. The secret of s.vmpathy is the pos- session of the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Who took our place and was "touch- ed with the feelings of our infirmi- ties, being tempted in all points like as we are." By so much as we are like Him shall we be compassionate to all suffering, tender toward all sorrow, responsive to all demands, helpful under all circumstances. WORKS FOR SAME OLD BUNCH.
