He was away for two years, during which time he visited many ports, and pushed inwards from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexi- co. In 1603 he made his first voy- age in Canada, being'sent out by De Clertnont, Seigneur de Chastes who had obtained a patent from the king. Champlain on this journey explored the St. Lawrence as far as the Lachine Rapids and made friends with the Indians . In the following year he explored the coast as far as Cape Cod in seeking a site for a new settlement, first locating near the mouth of the St. Croix and then at what is now Annapolis. But the patent which had been granted to De Monts after the death of De Clermont, was revoked and Cham- Plain and the discouraged colonists returned to France. It was after the patent had been re-granted that his patron induced Champlain * to abandon his enterprise in Acadia gnd to establish. a settlement on the St. BIBBYS "WHERE THE GOOD CLOTHES COME FROM" During July and August store will close at 5 evening, 10 o'clock. p.m. Saturday Sale of Men's Straw and Panama day came out with a strong protest hn Empire Calendar. ] against W, F.

In commenting The Journal concludes It is evident that the Journal can- not have read a copy of the bill or of Hansard containing the debate on the Wecond reading As was years ago to-day since Samuel de Champlain, the famous French ex- plorer, and the first governor of French Canada, sailed up the St. Lawrence and fixed the site ,of the city of Quebec. Champlain = was born at Brouage, a small port on the Bay of of Biscay, in the year 1567. He was the son of a sea captain, and Ris father taught him seamanship and navigation at an early age. These were stirring days for an ad- .venturous youth, and while still lit- Quebec was founded and named and in the spring Champlain joined a party of Algonquins and Hurons and discovered the zreat lake that bears his name, while with his arquebus he played gan important part in the victory wliich these tribes gained | over the Iroquois. In 1611, after a journey.to Frapce, Champlain was again in Canada, and in this year he established "a trading post at Mount Royal, 'which has grown into the me- tropolis of the Dominion. © He spent most of the remaindes" of his life in MEN'S OUTING AND SPORTS SHIRTS Pure white Linen Lawn.

Un- der the system whereby the senate tried divorce appeals, the cost aver- aged from five hundred to one thous- and dollars. Thus divorce became the luxury of the rich, and was im- possible for the poorer classes. This worked a great hardship upon scores of families in which the causes for} divorce were present, but no relief was possible because of the great expense.
