cause our boy L. dead. II Is for them and
ourselves we mourn.
"There's vacant place by the tiresldr,
And an empty bed up stairs,
A chair at the table unoccupied
And one less to kneel at prayers.
We listen in vain for footstep light,
a step that forever Is STILL
There's an aching void in our hearts TO-
night
"A void time never can fill"
But another has joined the angel band,
And one in the heavenly choir,
viii welcome US to the beautiful land,
All radiant IN snowy attire,
Then let us not mourn for dear one gone,
He's tree from all toll and care;
He lives in the light OF our Fathers love,
And sorrow will ne'er reach him
there"

game was very good one-extra good, In fact;
but it was soon evident the Mendoza boys had
come down to win and they did it in handsome
style. Indeed, before the game began, bets even
on Ottawa we're seldom offered, the home crowd
having tacitly consented to consider themselves
beaten, for some mysterious season." The
