Strange Case Of Mistaken Identity
Leads to Unusual Happening at
Hamilton, Ont. - Missing Man
Thought Affair Very Funny.

Hamilton, Ont.-John Thompson,
able seaman, slipped into town a few
days ago wearing his sea legs and a
broad smile, to attend his own funeral
Thompson was supposed to have lost
his life in the recent gale which swept
the Great Lakes. The waters give up
few of their secrets, but in the case
of Thompson there could be no doubt
His father had identified the corpse
and had It removed to his home for
funeral services, thus laying the foun-
dalton for one OF the strangest exam
pies Of mistaken identity ever record
ed In Ontario.
When the body was found Thomp-
sons father looked for the u. T." tat
tooed on the arm. He found this and
a scar on the shin. He failed to find
the eagle tattooed on the back OF his
son, but believed the other marks suf-
ficient for all Identification purposes.
Thompson was in Toronto when he
read of his supposed death. He
thought Il would be a good joke to
remain away until the DAY OF the
funeral. Mourning friends and rela-
lives by the score had gathered from
far and wide at the Thompson home.
They were engaged in the customary
weeping and wailing when John
Thompson himself. as big as life and
wearing a thirst, arrived in Hamil
ton.
He walked into the Duffy saloon and
ordered a drink. Great heavens"
calculated Mr.. Duffy as he beheld
Thompson. Then Duffy swooned. He
had been one of the most fearful
mourners at the wake the evening be-
fore.
Then Thompson strolled casually
down the street to his home, the parlor
of which was filed with mourners,

THE HISTORICAL CLUB.
By Mrs. G.. j. OrIand. :.

The Historical club was organized
in August 1895, and is therefore COM
pleting it's 18th day Its originator
and organizer was Mrs. c. w. McCurdy,
who was its first president and always,
during her subsequent residence in
Moscow, evinced an earnest interest
| in the work and welfare of the club.
Mrs. McCurdys standards of club
work and character were unusually
high and noble, embracing ideals of
true democracy and consistent altru-
ism which have always, to greater
or less degree, remained the stan
dands and ideals of the club which
she founded.
When first organized the club con-
sisted of about forty members. 1t soon
increased it's membership to about
fifty, which has remained about an
average of it's membership, some years
running a little larger, other years a
few less.
It's object, the same as that of most
clubs organized couple OF decades
ago, was study and individual and mu-
tual benefit through investigation and
discussion, and the creation of a con-
genial and inspiring social atmos-
phere. The list of it's studies com
prises courses in literature, history
and art, supplemented by variety Of
topics of local, state and national in
terest For use in it's studies the club
has accumulated a small but choice |
reference library.
A club of forty versatile, wide |
awake women can not long remain |
simply study club, worthy and val /
liable as that may be, and the His
torical club soon began to express an
interest in affairs outside of the club,
chiefly local, at first In its early
history it brought lecturers here pro-
yiding free entertainments of a high
order, and financed some other enter
sometimes disastrously for
is own treasury.
In the sixth year of it's history the
,lub began its work for the Moscow
public library, cooperating with the

and members of important committee
both in district and state declarations
1t has Loyalty assisted in the work O
the various committees. donating gen
erous amounts at various times to the
University Loan Scholarship fund, the
last donation being one hundred and
thirty-five dollars.
The club is very carefully organized
Its constitution provides for an equi-
table division of work and responsible
ity, and is very thorough and complete.
Its history is notable illustration
of what can be accomplished without
large funds, and may well serve as an
inspiring example for other organiza-
tions.
In reviewing the history of the
Historical club and estimating the i'm
portance of its work, it's material
achievements naturally claim our at
tention. A far more important and
far-reaching, if incidental, result of
the clubs work and influence is
doubtless it's discipline and develop
ment of it's members in organization
and executive management. Moreover,
It's liberal policy as to membership
las resulted, in many cases, in the
fortunate discovery and development
If previously unknown or unappre-
dated talent or latent ability, thus
not only the members but
he club and the community.
Of the many able, loyal and beloved /
members of long standing who havs
eft us for other fields of usefulness,
o our great loss, the following names
will be familiar to all old-time resi- |
ents of Moscow: Mrs. J A. Moore, |
Hiss Moore, Mrs J. c. Elder, Mrs s |!
!. Bassett, Mrs. E. T. Barton, Mrs D. |
}. Ghormley, Mrs. H. c. Shaver, Mrs. |
I. T. French, Mrs. Marcy, Mrs. L. K
trong, Mrs. S. F. Curtis. These, and |
lany others have contributed largely
f their personality and labors to the
Tub and to our community and are
aluable acquisitions to the commune

Pleiades club. Its work for the libra
ry has been generous and unceasing,
from the first, two of it's members al
ways serving on the library board. 1t
has raised and donated to the library
money in liberal amounts and gener-
Gus frequency, the last sum given
being one hundred dollars
About the year 1904 the club became
actively interested in home economics
and appointed a standing committee, of
which Mrs. w. e. Wallace was chair
man, to promote it's study This work
at first consisted principally Of pro
grams and special talks and papers.
The committee also conducted very
successful and popular sewing class
| for the school children, which was
much enjoyed by the children, and APP
preciated by the mothers. Later this
became a department of the club under
| the capable leadership of Mrs. l.. x.
Strong, with systematic work planned !
year in advance. In the spring OF =,
1908 this department interested the I
I, school board and succeeded in getting |
the teaching of domestic science and |
manual training in the public schools,
providing the equipment for it the
first year, and. by request of the school
board, selecting the teacher. The
next year it became a regular part
of the school work, but the club ctill
kept up an interest in it and made
some valuable donations of silver.
linen and other necessities.
Another important and perhaps not
sufficiently understood work of the
Historical club is its work, through
it's park committee for the improve
ment and identifying of our city park.
This committee, of which Mrs. S. F.
Curtis was the energetic and efficient
chairman, raised funds, planned and
laid out walks and flower beds, planted
many shrubs, bulbs, and flowers, in
stalled the seats, and interested the
city council to the extent of hiring
a gardener and care-taker. The club
thus actually created our city park.

Other departments which have been
as culture and entertainment
from time to time are a music de-
Dartment, under the management o.
Mrs. H. T. French and Mrs. w. E.
Wallace, and an art department, with
Mrs. Shattuck as chairman
1t would require too much space to
'elate in detail the activities of these
md other departments and committees.
The clubs most important accom-
,lishment of recent date, done in CO.
operation with the Current Events
Tub, is the finishing and furnishing of q
room in the basement of the public
