Wednesday, July ^2, 1036 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE FURROW'S END GOING GUNNING It seems a truth far stranger than fiction that the most ardently paci- ficst student in a college noted for its pacifist tradition should leave that in- atitution with a rifle slung over his shoulder. Yet so it chanced. It all resulted from certain mid- nitrht diokcrings between one person who had a rifle, which he could not take home with him and another per. son who had neither rifle, nor need, nor even desire for one. But the fire- arm eventually changed hands and took up a rural residence. After all there is no longer any militaristic significance associated with such a hannle.ss weapon as a rifle of .22 calibre even if it does bear the name of "V'ickers," a word which conjures up memories of armament revelations. Upon my arrival at home, bearing the weapon, my attention was im- mediately drawn to the ravages of a certain Black Cat, of ill repute even from his first appearance. Either our suspicions of him had been well-founded or, recognizing his unpopularity, he had determined to justify his reputation. Always he had seemed possessed of an evil spirit. Beginning with the commission he had finally stooped to the lowest of all contemptible crimes, the sucking of eggs. Straightway a price was put upon his scalp. Not content with sucking eggs at home he must skulk about the neigh- bours' yards casting longing eyes at their small chicks. The offender was the subject of dire threats and of numerous attempts to bring his ne- farious careiT to an end, but he still <'ontinued to raid the nests. Upon coming in from the fields one (lay I was informed that the outlaw had been seen going around the corner of the barn. Gun in hand, I sped sil- fiitly in pursuit. As he saw me coming he slipped under cover. Since the removal of the wooden part of the old silo several years ago. the remaining stone bottom has pro- duced a small forest of Manitoba maples. .Stretching over eight feet, thoy appear above the wall merged with nther.s growing at the edge, an ideal cover thi.s appeared to the Black Cat as he made his way along the wall. Sitting there behind the leafy screen he eyed me calmly, assured that with so much protection he could face no flanger from a human standing afar hack. But his safety was no more than that of the proverbial ostrich that hides his head in the sand. Death stalked relentlessly. At twenty yards I pressed the trig, ger. There was a low "plink", a black form leaped through the brush to land lifeless in the silo bottom. The .scourge of the henhou.se was no more. This may not be the way one goes hunting; it may not conform to the laws of sportsmanship; but whatever comes or goes I shot the Black Cat. Man is not responsible for every- 1 thing. He may have invented stay-' ing out at night â€" but woman invented i housocleaning. He may have invent, j ed the automobile â€" but woman in- 1 vented the back seat driving. He! may have invented card playing â€" but' we'll bet woman invented the kick' under the table. He may have invent- ed public speakingâ€" but woman in- vented the curtain lecture. He may have invented lodgesâ€" but woman in- vented afternoon teas and such like. Truth to tell, one of the troubles with woman is that she is never satisfied. Why, one of her earliest shenanigans Jed to man being bounced from the (larden of Eden â€" and she has been trying to get him into the garden ever since. By the way, how is your hoeing coming along, brother? An item in London says nude bath- ers are to appear in court. In spite of the heat the courtroom will 10 doubt be jammed. Montreal man with two wives has been ordered by the courts to sup- port both of them. Husbands with only one to look after should do no more complaining. Pat ha<l gone back home to Ireland and was telling of New York. "Have thoy such t^ll buildings in America as they say, Pat?" asked the parish priest. "Tall I)uildings ye ask, sur-" re- plied Pat. "Faith, sur, the last one I worked on I had to lay on mo stomach to let the moon pass."

The deceased, the second son of David White and Jane Boyle, was born, June 28th, 1863, on the east back line of Artemesia, one mile from Portlaw and to that locality he took his bride, Su.san Jane Chapman, of Egremont, in February, 1897. Here he resided until he returned to Proton Station in March 1926. .Mr. White was in failing health since the beginning of 1935, but was a great sufferer for the last months, and eagerly looked forward to his release an home-going, thro' the aton- ing Blood of his dear Redeemer. The end came very peacefully as the fam- ily surrounded his bed, at 3.40 p.m. There remain to mourn the lose if a loving husband, his widow, Susan White; the loss of a tender and self- sacrificing father, his three children, Glady.s and Florence of Proton, and Roy, on the homestead in Artemesia; the loss of a dear grandpa, Victor. Gwendolyn, Gordon and Marie White; and the loss of their only brother, Tillie (Mrs. Joseph Cornfield) and Nellie; of Toronto. The funeral was held in the chapel of the Pilgrim Holiness church, Pro- ton Station, on Wednesday, July 15th at 2 p.m., conducted by the Pastor, Rev. Herbert H. Shaw, and Rev. H. B. Jackson, who very feelingly preached the funeral sermon from the text (2 Cor. 5:1) "For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were di.ssolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eter- nal in the Heavens." Special songs were sung by request, one, by Mr. Irwin Mclntyre, as the deceased test- imony, "I was once far away from the Saviour" and the other, by Myrtle Watson of Durham and Gertrude Irish of Proton "No burdens allowed to pass through." Floral tributes were from the fam- il.v, from sister Tillie and family; from â-  the church at Proton, and from the Pilgrim Holiness Mission at Wiar- ton. Friends from a distance were: Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Chapman, Mr. Geo. Chapman. Mr. Lawrence Chapman, Mr. L. Moody.
