BY some MEANS T HE CANOE WAS UPSET And Miss Julia Sharpe Lost Her Lifeâ€"A Sad Fatality. Civic holiday was this year marked by one of the most unfortunate occurrences that has ever shocked this community. H" ‘ .5- [-I I nulmgllnu = all. The river still co-operates with the RW . cemetery and the summer could not pass 732;; without it drowning, nor the appalling ii‘ l: a list of that form of death this season be complete without a victim from this town. On Thursday evening Geo. McGregor an employs in the oatmeal department of the Flavelle company’s mills, took Miss Julia Sharpe junior bookeeper in the office of that firm, up the river in a canoe‘ Late at night they were returning and had almost reached the mill when the canoe upset, and both occupants were thrown into the water. How it happen, ed or what followed is not made clear by McGregor except that the girl held on to him for a time and then let go after, which he reached the shore. Mr. P. Masseau night engineer at the mill was in the engine house. McGregor went over and told him that Miss Sharpe was in the river. Together they went back but McGregor seemed unable to tell where the upset had occurred. Masseau aftera brief search came up town and gave the alarm. Soon a number of people were on the spot grappling and diving for the body. Some three-quarters of an hour from the time the cause was tipped over Mr. Jae. McPhadden an employee at Sylvester’s struck his fool, against the body in eight feet of water and with the assistance of Mr. Allan Gillies foreman of the Watchman-Warder mechanical staff, brought it to shore. Dr. Shier was on hand but pronounced life extinct. Dr. Poole did not think an in- quest was necessary. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. Jae. Sharpe, Sussex st. and hardly fifteen years old. She had been in the mill oflice for eighteen months and was a very bright girl. During the past several months McGregor was in her company a good deal. The funeral took place on Friday, The floral tributes were profuse. Deep sympathy ls felt for her family in their sudden bereavement.

DYS AN Dyspepsia causes more genuine dis-A tress than most diseases that afflict mankind. In this country from one cause or another, its victims are num- bered by the hundreds of thousands, and those afflicted always feel tired, worn out and miserable. and are subject to fits of melancholy or ill temper without apparent cause It is obvious that the human body, in order to perform its functions, must .be properly nourished, and this cannot be done when the food is improperly digested. Those who sufler from indigestion should exercise care as to diet, and only easily digested foods should be taken. But more than this is requiredâ€"the blood needs attention in Order that the stomach may be strengthened, and the secretion of the gastric juice properly carried an. There is no other medicine oti‘ered the public that will act so promptly and effectively as Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills Proof of this is given in the case of Mrs F. X. Doddridge, St. Sauveur, Que. In conversation with a reporter, Mrs. Doddridge saidzâ€"“For quite a number of years I have been a terrible sufferer from dyspepsia, accompanied by the sick headaches that almost invariably comes with this trouble. I sufi'ered from terrible pains in the stomach, bloating and belching wind. All food seemed to disagree with me, and as a result of the trouble, I was very much run down, and at times I was unable to do even light house’ work. I am sure I tried a score of different medicines, but without suc- cess, and as I am sixty years Cf age, I had come to believe that it was hope- less to expect a cure. A friend who had used Dr. Williame’ Pink Pills .wllh good results, urged me to try this medicine, and my husband brought heme a couple of boxes. Before they were finished, I felt :mch better, and we then got anoth- 'f doxen boxes, and these have co..z.pletely restored my health, and I not - i’eel better than Ihave dun or :_ but actua?’yi feel younget. l v: aerfnlly recom~ mend Dr. “illiiamrs’ Pink Pills I10 similar safer; -. If your dealer does not keep these ills, they will be sent postpaid at 50 cents a box. or six boxes for $2.50, by addressing the Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. DON’T CROWD. Don’t crowd; this world is large enough For you as well as me; The doors of all are open wide; The realm Of thought is free. 0! all earth’s places, you are right To choose the best you can, Provided that you do not try To crowd some other man. What matter though you scarce can count Your piles of golden ore, While he can hardly strive to keep Gaunt famine from the door? Of willing hands and honest hearts Alone should men be proud! Then give him all the room he needs, And never try to crowd. Don’t crowd, proud miss! Your dainty sila Will glisten none the less Because it comes in contact with A beggsr’s tattered dress. 1‘ This lovely world was never made For you and me alone; The pauper has a right to tread The pathway to a throne. Don’t crowd the good from out your hcart By fostering all that’s bad, But give to every virtue roomâ€" The best that may be had. Be each day’s record such a one That you may well be proud; Give each his right, give each his room, And never try ‘to crowd. BROKEN SUSPENDERS. Men Who “’ould. Rather Tie Them Up Than Buy New Ones. “It’s funny.” said a Park row haber- dasher, “but it’s true that 50 per cent of the men of New York are going about with broken suspenders. I’ve known men worth millions of dollars who neg- lected to purchase suspenders until their attention was called to the fact that they needed them. The other day a man came in here to buy some neckwear. While he was waiting to be served he kept tugging at a suspender button on his trousers. As the perspiration kept rolling down his neck he hit his lips and mumbled some- thing that sounded like cuss words. He finally asked me it I could give him a piece of twine. “Then I got it for him, he unbuttoned his waistcoat and pro- ceeded to tie together the parts of an old suspender. “I’ll sell you a new pair for a quarter," I remarked, pointing to a bunch of new suspenders. Continuing. I told him we had some beauties for half a dollar and better ones for a dollar. He said noth- ing. but continued the work of tying up his broken suspender. Finally 1 thrust a box or suspenders in front or him, and he reached for a pair. “ ‘Thnnk you.’ he said, and be pro- ceeded to take off his coat and waistcoat. Then he threw his Old suspenders on the floor. and as be fastened on the new ones he said they felt fine. He told me that he had been feeling uncomfortable for a week and didn’t really know the cause of it until he discarded the old suspenders. “ ‘Unless my wife buys a pair for me at Christmas time.’ he said, ‘I never think about it and wear those I have on until they actually fall off. i know thou- sands Of wealthy men who are like me in that respect. The other day when 1 call- ed upon a friend at the \andor‘f-Astoria he was engaged repairing his suspenders with a piece of wire. Strange to say, he never thought of sending his valet for a new pair, although he was paying $30 :1 day for a suit of rooms on the fourth floor.’ “That fellow,” continued the lrnbcr- dnshcr. “is a sample of New York's busi- ness men. They’ll invest thousands of dollars in stocks and bonds, but forgot about investing a quarter in suspenders. Most New Yorkers wait until they got a pair as a Christmas or birthday present. German-Americans living in New York. as a rule, got suspenders for Easter Mon- day; Irish-Americans gct presents of sus- penders on Easter Sunday morning: Itul- inn-Americans who have made New York their home get new suspenders at Christ- mas time.” “And what about native New York- er's?” asked a bystander. “Oh." said the haberdashcr. ”they get new ones when the string breaks!” Making Him Whole. “It takes the glorious Old west to do business." said the man with the alliga- tor grip. as he boarded the train at Sf. Paul. “We of the cost are not in it a little bit." ’ “Anything to relate?" queried one of the passengers as he woke up. “Just a few words. I traveled from New York to Chicago with n striving looking girl. At Buffalo 1 was gone on her. At Detroit we were engaged. As we reached Chicago she had set the date. 1 returned home, wrote her 320 love letters. and came out here to get married." “And what?" “She decided that she would marry an. other. She estimated the value of my time at $500. the worth of my letters at $300 and my broken heart at $200. and drew me a check for $1,000. and box” it is.

Here is a story which was told by Colonel Thomas W'entworth Higginson at the Twentieth Century club in Boston. A country clergyman called on Henry \Vard Beecher and asked his nth-ion about what to do with persons who go to sleep in churchâ€"something which had become quite prevalent in his congrcgn. tron. Mr Beecher listened very atten- trvely. admitted that it was serious and then said:“VVhen I first came to Plym outh church, I thought about this problem. and I will tell you about the course I decided upon. The sexton was given strict orders that if he saw any person asleep in my congregation he should at once go straight into the pulpit and wake up the minister." Safe From izhtning. “Some of the simplest things in the world." says The Scientific American. “are. the most efficacious. If you are afraid or lightning, here's a very simple safeguard to remember: Simply put on your rubbers and then stand up so that your clothes won’t touch anywhere.
