A Bottled Message From the Missing
Huronian.

On Feb. II, 1902, the Allan liner
Huronian left Glasgow for st. John,
New Brunswick, and had not since
been heard of. A bottle has just been
found on the shore at Gastlerock,
county Derry, containing the follow
ing message: "Huronian sinking
fast: top heavy; one side under water.
Goodby, mother and sister, Charles
McFall, greaser" The bottle had
been very securely coTked-so well,
in fact, that the interior was not
even damp, and the handwriting was
distinctly legible. Although this meth
cd has been commonly adopted by
practical jokers in the preparation of
hoaxes, there is every reason to be.
lieve that the message is perfectly
genuine and that it forms the first
glimmering of intelligence regarding
the actual fate of the lost liner. long
since posted as missing

on board.

Huronian had to struggle in the teeth

she had been reported overdue. Every
effort was put forth to elicit tidings

a PRETENDER.

There's nothing to the cheer up bard,
A fakeT rank is he
And apt as anybody else to have
His share OF misery
He'll surely growl and grumble, too,
When things don't come his way,
And VOW he has his troubles, with
The very deuce to pay.
And yet, he'll tell you not to let
Old trouble worry you,
And say, Just laugh the clouds away
Whenever you feel blue"
He doesn't mean it? Sure, he does!
Himself he can not teach
You know yourself how hard it is
TO practice what you preach.

tee of the teachers salary, and If they

have to wait awhile.
