London, Aug. (1:-The Chinese
legation here is at last q%ueueless.
Directly after the establishment of
the new republic, the minister, his
secretaries, and all the attaches of
the legation, with the exception Of
Chung King, the major-domo, dis
carded their pigtails. Chung was
agreeable to the new regime, but felt
he should first obtain his fathers
consent. Accordingly, he wrote to
the old man, at Pekin, but the pa
rental response was a positive re-
fusal. After a months time he
wrote again, earnestly pleading for
the desired permission and stating
that he had become practically os-
tracked by his fellow Celestials, but
with no better success.
The other day, however, Chung
was surprised and o~verjoyed to re-
ceive a cablegram from his father
containing merely the two words
"can cut" The Chung pigtail is
now enroute to Pekin as a souvenir
for his wife, and the major-domo is
still wondering what brought about
the old gentleman's conversion.

THE FRANkEL SUIT
CLEARANCE

Three things make this remarkable clearance of
the Frankel Fifteen Suits very unusual-The Charac-
ter of the goods offered; the fact that this store, with
its service and it's guaranty of good faith offers them
and the very wonderful sacrifice in price. Any one
of the three is a good deal. Together they ought to
prove irresistible.
We discontinue the line of Frankel Clothing with
the sale Of what few suits we have left; we are making
the sacrifice in price to close them out. Our new lines
of Fall clothing manufactured at 3 and 5 Waverly
Place, New York, are on the way, and we must have
the room-having only a limited floor space. One
look at these suits will convince you Of the great

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR
 GIRL.

The love that an old bachelor wastes on himself Is the love that passeth understanding.
 It isn't the thought of tying himself to one woman that keeps a man a bachelor; it is the thought of disap- pointing all the others.
 There are two kinds of bachelors the kind like a peach. soft and sweet on the outside. but stony at heart: and the kind like a hickory nut. hard on the surface. but tender at heart once you manage to break through the shell.
 What a bachelor calls his con science" in love affair Is nothing more nor less than an over developed hump of Representation.
 Some men are born for matrimony some achieve matrimOny-but every

OSCAR rouRrELLorrE


Oscar Tourtellotte, one of the oldest,
best known, and highly esteemed and
respected citizens of the town of
Thompson, died Mt his home in North
GroSvenordale early sunday morning,
aged - years. He had been in poor
health for some time and his death
was not unexpected. He will be a
great loss to the community in which
he has lived so long and TO the town of
which he has been an efficient official
for many years. He was OF a genial
disposition and made friends easily
and his long public career made him
known far beyond the confines of his
home town.
He and his wife celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary Feb. Is,
1911 and at that time Mr.. Tourtellotte
was in poor health. Over 200 friends
called at the Tourtellotte home that
day.
His wife and three sons, Alfred j.,
Burton, and Percy, the latter of Alta
waugan, survive. Funeral services
were held Wednesday afternoon AT |
O'Clock In the Methodist church, Rev.
&. IL. Van Natter officiating. Burial
was in the West Thompson cemetery.

in Danielson was sold at noon Satur-
day by Sheriff George +. Holbrook of

ST. Patrick Party

Principal aud Mrs. George Hatha-
way of Fremont street entertained
the members of the junior class of the
Tourtellotte High school and the
members of the faculty at St Pat.
rick party Saturday evening. A most
delightful evening was spent by the
twenty present, and st. Patrick was
honored in every way, host and hostess,
as we'll as guests, wearing something
symbolic of the day. The potato race
afforded much gaiety, Miss Logee
winning the race, for which she re-
ceived tiny toy snake. The Limerick
contest revealed the gift of some of the
class members as poets. Miss Robbins
was presented green box of bonbons
as :ladies' prize for writing the best
verse upon st. Pat, and Mr.. O'Clare
received tiny green candy suitcase
for his cleverness. Messrs. Rhodes,
O'Clare and Foisey rendered several
Irish jigs commercially. The supper
of green salads, luncheon rolls, olives,
green ices, green cakes and green con-
fections was served in the dining room,
the table being attractively decorated
in green and white, with potato bas-
kets used as individual plates. The
room was lighted with green candles.
After supper the young folk formed
two teams for a bubble blowing con
test. Miss Hunter was presented a
green canary for blowing the largest
bubbles among the ladies, and Mr..

The church was filled and large
number stood at the entrance during
the service unable to gain admittance.
Miss Thyra Walker sang passing un-
der the Shadow" "Twill all be over
soon," and "The meeting place" The
casket at the front of the church was
draped with the American flag, while

pulpit platform. The bearers were
the three sons of the deceased, J. Bur
ton, Percival r. and Afreton A. Tour
tellotte, and f. f. Thompson, George
Elliott, and f. S. Richmond.
Mr.. Tourtellotte was the son of Jo-
seph and Amy (JosIin) Tourlellotte
and was born in Thompson, Sept. It'll,
1899. He was of Huguenot stock and
in paternal line descends from Abra-

Academy, Dudley, Mass. At the out
break of the Civil war in 1861 he en-
listed as private in Company ID,
Twenty-fifth Massachusetts Volunteer

his country, and how well may be
learned from the following paragraph
from the history of his regiment:
"Mr. Tourtellotte alone with his rifle

and twenty-four privates belonging 10
the 59th N. Z. w."
In 1876 he opened an insurance office

an old and prominent New England
family. Six children were born IL
them, three having died 10 infancy.
