The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1909-09-11

II was Just about one year ago that
some workmen who were making ex-
cavations for government work with
In the reservation OF Fort Hancock.
at Sandy Hook, uncovered the bones
of IA men, all apparently inferred
many years ago In the sands OF the
beach. There was much speculation
for time as to the solution Of the
riddle.
The skeletons were gathered up re.
spectfully and turned over with mill
tary regularity to the custody Of the
quartermaster's department OF the
United States army. Then began an
investigation, conducted with the u.s.
ual military red tape, but, after all,
with the customary directness of army
affairs. Rev. Charles H. Wells. a gen.
tleman with taste for antique things,
wrote a letter in which he suggested
that the solution of the puzzle might
well be found in the inscription on a
mural tablet in the sacristy of Trinity
church, which in the archaic orthog-
raphy of more than century ago.
was found to read as follows:
"At Sandy Hook I've inferred the
bones of the Honorable Hamilton
Douglas Hallyburton, son Of Sholto
Charts, Earl of Norton, and heir of
the ancient family Of HALLIBURTON, OF
Pitcurr, In Scotland, who persisted on
the cost with twelve more young gen.
tlemen and one common seaman, in
the spirited discharge Of duty, on the
3Oth or 31st of December, 1888.
Born on the 10th of October, 1853,
youth, who, in contempt OF hard
ship or danger, possessed of an ample
fortune, served seven years In the
British navy, with manly courage
and deserved a better fate. This
plain monumental stone Is erected by
his unhappy mother, Katherine, Coun.
tess Dowager of Norton, to his dear
memory and that of his unfortunate
companions.
Investigation by the military au-
thorities of the department of the east
proved that the solution suggested by
Rev. DR.. Wells was correct. Then the
question arose what should be done
with the bodies of the gallant heir of
the Earl of Norton, who had died
hero's death when barely 20 years old,
and with the remains of his plucky
associates, who had found, with him,
untimely graves in the frozen sands
of Sandy Hook. The whole story was
finally laid before the war department
in Washington in the form of official
correspondence, and few days ago
there came to Gen. Leonard Wood,

FILLING UGLY FLOOR CRACKS
Preparation That Can BE Made at
Home Will Do the Work at
Little Cost.

From any hardware dealer who
sells paints and the like for interior
decorations you will be able to get
floor cleaner and filler. II you cannot
bear this expense and have an ugly
floor to be treated you can have the
rough boards plsned and fill the wide
cracks with paste made with news
papers. Soak the papers in tub Of
water until they are reduced to a
pulp. This takes from one to three
days. Macerate them and mix with
common flour starch in which some
glue is boiled. If you have a thin mix
ture you can add sawdust This Is
a medium smooth paste which can be
put into the cracks with the aid Of
a small trowel or steel knife. Smooth
the paste as evenly as possible. In a
few days 1t will dry. Then give the
entire floor coating of yellow ochre
or ground filler. 1t can be purchased
by the quart. 1t is dull yellow when
dry. When perfectly dry cover the
floor with floor varnish or use paint
thoroughly without the ochre. All d.
rections can be obtained from the
dealer. When boards are of differ
ent width fill the cracks and paint a
cold color to hide the defects. Do
not expect rough board floor to look
like one of waxed hardwood.

H0N0RS TO BRITISH SEAMEN
United States Army to Be Credited
with Graceful Act Of Inter
national Courtesy.

BY a graceful act Of international
courtesy the. United States army has
given honored sepulture to the bones
of a brave and distinguished party of
British seamen who lost their lives
in winter storm at Sandy Hook in
1888, soon after the American army
had won independence for the colonies
after a prolonged and bitter struggle
with Great Britain. The United States
army has further expressed oficially
the intention to erect an appropriate
monument above the bodies OF these
long dead heroes Of the English navy,
and Mr.. Bryce. the famous historian
and ambassador from the court Of st.
James to the United States, has ex-
pressed his country's appreciation Of

Coughs and Colds
Are Unnecessary
This Simple Home Remedy is Sure
Preventative and Positive Cure.

We are all apt to get i5o the habit
of thinking the colds and coughs which
so often trouble us cant be avoided.
You probably know people who say Il
have a cold every spring" as though
colds, like robins. must always come
with the season. This resigned way OF
looking at things is folly, and often
leads to grave results. Colds and
coughs weaken the body and make it
an easy victim for catarrh and lung
diseases.
There's absolutely no sense in having
coughs and colds. The great Swedish
antiseptic, Salubrin. will absolutely
prevent, as well as cure. all coughs AND
colds. The very fact that the Swedish
government, on the advice of leading
physicians, removed all taxes on the
manufacture OF .5alubrin is the best
proof of what inestimable value it is to
humanity.
The positive beneficial effects that
Salubrin has in all coughs. colds lung
diseases. and catarrhal conditions of
the nose and throat is now recognized
by the physicians of his country as
well on the continent. Salubrin is
the direct formula of DR.. p Hakansson
from the Salubrin laboratory of Eslof.
Sweden. AS SaIubrin may be obtained
at all first class druggists at so cents n
bottle. it should find a place in every
home. Don't risk death by neglecting
colds and coughs.
Salubrin will positively prevent death
from lung disease if used in time.
