BANK BOBBED OF £4OO. (Received 9.45 p.m.) Ottawa, Oct. 9. —A Winnipig message states that a daring robbery occurred to-day, when a lone masked bandit entered the Altona branch of the Bank of Montreal, locked up the manager and a young clerk, gagged the paying teller, and escaped with, over £400.--{A. and N.Z.)
“What do you think of this?” said a well-known farmer of the district to a representative of the King Country “Chronicle,” showing a cheque for £l2 7s Id. “I think quite a lot of it,” was the reply. “Is it for the hospital or the loldfcprs’ memorial?” The owner slowly folded up the cheque, and putting it in bispocket, replied: “No, I think 1 will want it for myself. This is the balance owing to me after consigning two truck loads of cat + le to England 18 months ago. After paying freight, freezing charges, and other expenses. I have this amount to my credit. I could have had £l5O for these cattle if I had sold them locally at that time. However, th, : ng» will right themselves in time, so we will have to keen going for the present.” And so he passed cheerily on his way.

If you take Dr Williams’ Pink Pills and so maintain a sunnlv of rich, red blood, you will find yourself able to resist disease. On gale everywhere at 3s per box
