record as people Ia one of fair play

has never issued any bonds nor GER

THE SPIRIT OF YOUTH-By Ernest McGaffey 81

The dead leafs whorl will hold tang of thyme
In dim autumnal gardens, lone and gray;
The deep wood echoes to the waters rhyme,
Though spring has fled and summer passed away.

What matters, if the spirit shall control?-
Not to grow old, but ever youthful stay,
Since Youth abides immortal in the soul

How many mortals hasten to obey
Yet there are those with courage all sublime

However near or distant be the goal

Since Youth abides immortal in the soul

Michael Hanley Meets Death In A
Peculiar Manner Farmer Narrowly
Escapes with Life.

Tuesday morning about 1890
clock Michael Hanley, son OF Den
mis- Hanley, of this village, met with
an accident which in the end cost
him his life.
Mr.. Hanley was employed as
decker at M. Seavoy lumber camps,
and with his partner l.. Selden, had
just finished placing load OF logs on
sideways, and sat down at the foot
of the pile to await the arrival of
another load. Both men were en-
aged in conversation, when sud-
denly Selden, who was sitting facing
the tier, saw one OF the top logs
start downward. Hanley, whose
back was turned toward the pile,
jumped as Selden gave the warning,
but before be could get away, three
OF the logs had rolled over him, while
the fourth pinned him to the ground.
Assistance was Immediately sum-
moned and the unfortunate, man re-
moved and brought to L'Anse, where
although still alive, it was found
that his body was torn and mangled
wardly. Kind hands administered
TO the injured man, but despite this
fact death came TO relieve his suffer
inys Wednesday morning at seven
O. clock.
Thursday afternoon at two o clock
the remains were laid at rest in the
Catholic cemetery, and Friday morn
at 10:30 o'clock requiem high mass
was said for the repose of his soul,
by Rev. FRI ]. Hem.
Deceased was young man OF excel.
lent habits and could boast of a
large circle of friends, evidence of
which was attested by the large
number of beautiful floral offerings
which were received. He was loved
by all who knew him and his absence
among his companions will be keenly
felt. He leaves an aged father to
mourn his departure, to whom
goes the sympathy of the entire
community.

Although that event is still some
weeks away, L'Anse people have
already begun to freely discuss the

held in the Amphidrome the week
after next. A large number OF them
have already received circulars which
have been sent out by the manage
ment OF the fair and are preparing
TO send exhibits OF their produce.
Although the farmers complain
that the season has not developed
produce which can compare with
that of other seasons, they are will
ing to contribute everything in their
power to the success OF this event.
L'Anse is also sure to send in large

Should Be Stopped.

During the past few weeks our at
tention has been attracted to a prac-
tice which is prevalent among the
young element of our village, and
one which is anything but right,
that Of tearing off and destroying
advertising matter which is placed
in various conspicuous places along
the highways. We're those who fol-
low this habit aware OF the enormous
expense which is attached to the
production OF such advertising mat
ter as is often carried by theatrical
companies and other exhibitors, we
are sure less destructiveness would
occur. Advertisers usually pay
dearly for space upon which to post
their Autographs, etc, and it is GER
tain that they expect some value in
return, even if it is nothing more
than to have them left intact. We
are sure little forethought on the
part of the children will limit this
destructiveness to a minimum.
The following section from the
compiled laws of, Michigan explains
itself:
Every person who shall wilfully
or maliciously injure, remove, deface
or destroy any board or structure
lawfully erected or used for the post
ing of bills, posters or other notices,
or shall wilfully or maliciousiy mutt
late, deface or destroy any bill,
poster. or other printed or written
notice lawfully posted on any board
or structure, used for that purpose
without the consent of the owner or
occupant thereof, shall be punished
by Imprisonment in the county Jail
not more than three months. or by
fine not exceeding fifty dollars, or
both fine and Imprisonment, at the
discretion of the court"
