The same principle is involved in the holding up of a railway train out West. : The passengers may fight and cause firing. from both sides in which numbers are likely to be killed, or they can throw up their hands in a humiliating â€" manner and allow the robbers to rifle their pockets. Genâ€" orally, however, humiliation is chosâ€" en rather than mutilation, and the robbers allowed _ to gather their booty without bloodshed. Butâ€" after all there is the chance of a fight, and this makes the robbers wary; though they proliably may be more deterred by fear of pursuit and capture afterâ€" wards. We may differ in opinion reâ€" garding the best course to take in case of attack. One may think: it right to fight and another may conâ€" tend that the best way is to let the robber have what he wants without let or hindrance, but we all agree that every cfiort should be made to capture thieves and cowardly scounâ€" drels, and when captured they should be dealt with as rigorously as the law will allow. If we can make the punishment â€" of these crimes of vioâ€" lence and sneak thievery fairly cerâ€" tain and exceedingly stern, we may make their operations less frequent. Tess Sogaes niras ness of the footâ€"pad would flourish. If a thiefl. was sure that every time he attacked a man that he was a coward, he would work at his neâ€" farious trade overâ€"time. It is the risk connected with the business that keeps down the profits, and discourâ€" ages the activity of the operator. Burglary would be a more attractive eccupation to those who only like to work at night if there was no doubt about what would happen if the man of the house woke up. Miss Grace Easson, daughter of Wm. Easson, Huron street, Stratâ€" ford, has returned from an eightcen months‘ trip to the Klondike. _ She relates an interesting experience â€" of shopping with the thermometer at 72 below zero, and while the winters were extremely cold she claims that they were very pleasant. _ She was one of the first to stake a claim on Fulfare Creek, where gold is being Well produced. She states that the old methods that were used at first are being discarded for the dredges and hydraulic methods. Is it right to fight? This is rather & nice question, what a man ought to do when he is attacked by a highâ€" wayman or finds a bufglar ransackâ€" ing his house. The spirit of manliâ€" ness which is admired so much counâ€" sels him to fight, and whether he gets the worst of it or not he will unâ€" doubtedly get the sympathy and apâ€" plause of the community. The trouble is that the highwayman and burglar are likely to be armed while the vicâ€" tim is almost sure to be unarmed. The result is that the man that has pluck enough to fight is liable to get his death wound as his reward for sticking up for his rights. If, howâ€" ever, men would never fight the busâ€" BACK FROM KLONDIKE. l‘.’dw“h loft at this office ioi moia in io in ons thek Taida} Hirst‘s Pain Exterminator quickly relieves lame backs, strained shoulders, sprained ankles, bad knees, bruises, euts and burns. ‘-oql’"“ the old reliable family itcine. 23c. at all dealers‘.

Although about twentyâ€"five new reâ€" sidences were erected during the year there is still a very marked scarsity of dwelling houses, and the need for many more to house the growimg popâ€" ulation is most urgent. _ Indications point to an even more prosperous seaâ€" son in the building trades in Waterâ€" loo during the year 1907 and it is earnestly hoped that those of its citizens who have money to invest will erect houses and thus not only furnish a profitable investment . for themselves but also aid in al‘>/atâ€" ing the house problem. The building in the North Ward amounted to $15,000, an increase of over $6,000, a number of fine new residences being crected here.

Although the record of 2966 falls a few thousand short, this is ac-: counted for by the fact that not as. many â€"residences were eructed, and also to the fact that the South Warc does not make as good a skowiny owing to the fact that the sum exâ€" pended in buildings was uot so 1.."ge, as in the case of the Scagram vireâ€" house erected in ©1905, which cost about $30,000. In the West Ward, which heads the list, $44,650 was expended, two new factories being erected in this ward, namely, the Mueller cooperage facâ€" tory and the factory of*the Torontoâ€" Waterloo Office. Fixture Co., which aggregated the sum of over $30,000. In the South Ward numerous _ imâ€" provementsâ€" were made at the Kuntz Brewery and J. E. Seagram‘s Disâ€" tillery, which total over $20,000. A number of new residences were also erected in this ward. The totals do not include money expended on cement walks, sewers or gas mains. Several new residences were added in the East Ward to the already large number in this portion of the town. . The handsome new block of J.

In earlier years an extra workman or two, if required, could easily be obâ€" tained, but at present everyone seemâ€" ed to be able to find employm>nt. Since that time the cost of labor and material had increased very considerâ€" ably, and â€" inexperienced workmen could now command 22¢ an hour, whereas in former years $1.75 a day was paid for only the best workmen. Mr. Letter also stated that this year had been one of bis busiest for many years, and his men had laid a g)amd‘ total of 2,000,000 brick. However, in the other wards conâ€" siderable gains are noted.
