No. 21 of dge, Ontario, recently returned from Eng- C S. am Sharpe Dies at Montreal 3 ok ~ i| land, met his death Saturday morning at the Ross Pavilion of the Royal . Victoria Hospital, Montreal, by jumping from a second story window "and falling to the pavement below. The nurse, who left his room a few minutes previous, reported he showed no signs of mental aberration, and talked quite intelligently to her. He was dressing to go out for a drive which had been arranged by the nurse. Siw ol : The body of Col. Sam Sharpe arrived at Whitby "on Monday, * and was taken to the County Council chamber, to" lie in state until 2 o'clock, when a public service was held on the steps, which was arranged by Warden Neil McKinnon and Col. Farewell. In the evening the remains were taken to Uxbridge for interment on Wednesday. ; Friends at Uxbridge recalled that a score or more years ago Col. Sharpe had a nervous breakdown and went west to home of his brother, Senator Sharpe, of Manitoba, where hc remained for a full year. Col. Sharpe leaves a wife but no family. Col. Sharpe Commanded the 116th Battalion at Vimy Ridge, and in the fighting around Lens, and was invalided to England last De- cember. A nervous breakdow kept Col. Sharpe in England until the middle of April. Three weeks ago he sailed to Canada, but was forced to leave the train and go into hospital at Montreal. ' Relatived believed that he was progressing towards recovery and the news of his death was a terrible shock. g Samuel Simpson Sharpe was the son of George Sharpe and Mary Ann Simpson, and was born at Zephyr, township of Scott, in the County of Ontario, March 13, 1873. ' He was educated at Uxbridge Public and High Schools and later at the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall, graduating from these institutions with the degree of B.A. and L. L. B. He was married on August 26th, 1903, to Mabel E. Crosby, grand- daughter of Joseph Gould, ex-M. P. for North Ontario. He followed the profession of law, and was Town Solicitor for Uxbridge for ten years and a Major in the 34th Regiment. In 1916 he raised and took to England a battalion for overseas service, 'He was elected to the House of Commons as a Conservative in 1908 and 1911, and was again given the honaur as a Union Govern: ment candidate in 1917. = Lt.-Col. Sharpe, who went overseas with tne 116th Ontario County Battalion, which he had raised, was at the front for nearly two years and was awarded the D. S. O. for his services in France. He was accom- panied on his return to Canada by Mrs Sharpe, who had been living in Bournemouth while he was in France. Men who have returned spoke highly of him as an dfficer. He was _ always up with his men, careful of their comfort, and sharing all the "war conditions of the men in the trenches. .. As was most fitting, Lt. Col. Sharpe was buried with military hon- ours, the former Chaplain of his Battalion conducting the impresrive ser- vice on the residence lawn. A very large number of people gathered to pay tribute of respect to the man whose courage and thoughtfulness bronght to him honour and affection. Rev. Dr. Chown paid an eloquent tribute to the deceased. A military band and a troop of ninety men from Toronto formed part of the great funeral procession. Johnson Paudash Home Among those who arrived recently home was Lance-Corporal John- son Paudash, of the 21st Battalion, an Indian of the Mississague tribe, of Rice Lake, Ontario. His wife and family at present are in Lindsay. Paudash has the Military Medal and he has been recommended for the D.C. M. He won the Military Medal for saving lives during a heavy bombardment and also for giving information to the brigade that the enemy were massing at Hill 70 for a counter attack which, just 20 minutes later, took place. The D.C. M. recommendation was for saving an officer's life at the battle of the Somme. Paudash enlisted in August, 1914, and he has been in every battle from Loos to Passchendaele. He was a scout and sniper, and as a sniper has 88 dead Germans as a tribute to his marksmanship. Paudash is home for discharge with an injury to his knee, but it is remarkable that with so much fighting he was pever in the hospital.

Itsa puzzling busi .For it don't allus work that way, Ye may ask like mad, and ye don't receive, As | found out t'other day. I were sittin' me down on my 'unkers, And 'avin a pull at my pipe, And larfin' like fun at a blind old 'Un, What were havin' a try to snipe. For "e couldn't shoot for key nuts, The blinkin' bleareyed ass, 80 | sits, and | spits, and | 'ums a tune; And I never thought o' the gass. Then all of a sudden | jumps to my feet For | "eard the strombos sound, And | pops up my "ead a bit over the bags To "ave a good look all round. And there | seed it, comin' across, Like a girt big yaller cloud, Then | °olds my breath, i' the fear o' death Till | bust, then | prayed aloud. I prayed to the Lord Orlmighty above, For to shift that blinkin' wind, But it kep' on blowin' the same 'ole way, And the chap next me, 'e grinned. 'It's no use prayin',' 'e said, let's run' And we fairly took to our 'eels, But the gas ran faster nor we could run, And, Gawd, you knew 'ow it feels! Like a thousand rats and a million chats' All tearin' away at your chest, And your legs won't run, and you're fairly done, And you've got to give up and rest. Then the darkness eomes, and ye knows no more Till ye wakes in a 'orspital bed. And some never knows nothin' more atall, Like my pal Bill--'e's dead. Now 'ow was it 'E didn't shift that wind, When | axed in the name o' the Lord ? With the 'orror of death in every breath, Still | prayed every breath | drawed.

And the Christ who was 'ung on thg Cross is God, : True God for me and you, For the only God that a true man trusts Is the Cod that sees it through. And Bill, 'e was doin' "is duty, boys, What 'e came on earth to do, And the answer what came to the prayers 1 prayed Was 'is power to see it through.
