Michael McManus, who died In Renfrew on Monday at the age of eighty-six, was one of Renfrew's old- | est citizens, not only in respect of | years, but in regard to lemgth of | residence here. He went to Ren-| frew in the '50's, and has been there | ever since, never being away for any | length of time except when in the | lumber woods. He was a genial, | whole-souled son of Erin, quick of | wit and active in body until seized | by his last illness, which was of a month's duration. He never mar- ried, and is survived by one sister, Miss Kate McManus, and ome bro- ther, Patrick, both of Renfrew. Printed in Kingston. The romantic side of seeking rare books is cited by Miss Janet Car nochan of Niagara, who has so faith- fully chronicled the records of her own locality and built up, with the co-operation of several other zealous workers, n remarkable local mu- seum. Miss Carnochan tells of the anxiety of Dr. James Baim, late Mb- rarian of Toromto, to secure a Copy of "St. Ureula's Convent," which was offered at a sale at Montreal He was afraid the bidding would be too high for him, but he secured the volume. "I would be afraid to tell you what I paid for it," he afterward told the Library Association, "but when I told Miss Carnochan, to my astonishment she said: 'Why, we have one, but we did not pay any- thing for it.' It is only a small book, written by Mrs. Beckwith of New Brunswick, she being seventeen years of age. It was printed in Kingston in 1824, A list is given of subscribers in different parts of Can- ada, even some in England end the United States. There was ome sub- scriber in Niagara and one in St. Catharines. Instead of dealing with what might he supposed the Roman Catholic church, it is a most sensa- tional story of shipwrecks, of lost children, of children restored, etc." ee -- a -- - Tr OUR RED CARTS are busy supplying genuine Scranton HARD COAL They will fill your bin next if you will tele- phone to number 1571.

It stil' has millions of en- thustasts, And # will be popular for years. But cards are coming into their own again. This runs true to history. Thou- sands upon thousands of gambling games have been invented, But in- variably man goes back to "the greasy pasteboards." JVhen people play cards, they are handling a gambling device so many thousands of years old that the origin is lost in the mists of anti quity. 3 The very ancient Hindus had a game called "Chaturaji"--which, many experts believe, was the origin of playing cards. "Chaturaji" (the name of "four rajahs or kings") was really highly complicated chess Life to the ancients was a lottery. They symbolized this hellef in the four divisions of ocards--hearts for love out of which life is born, clubs In the Middle Ages, took clearer shape. Hearts came to represent bravery. Spades repre- sented swords. Diamonds signified shields.
