 Smile lives at Larkhall, in Scot land. He was mining in Lanarkshire as boy forty years ago, and has lived all his life in Scotland. Tn 1886 he was appointed secretary to one of the branches of the Scottish Miners union, and became it's presi- dent in 1894, passing or. to the presi- dency of the larger body in 1912.

To the Public:

To the Public:
 We were appointed as committee to: make public through the papers of the city the result of the canvass taken by the Lakeside ladies to ascertain the feeling Of the patrons with reference to the seven year ser vice rendered by Prof. F. Garland May as principal of the Lakeside school.
 As complete a canvass was made as is practical to make. Perfection is hard to attain in anything. And more than 90 per cent of the patrons of this school cheerfuily signed the petition which they circulated, there by putting themselves upon record in black and white demonstrating against the action os the School Board in discharging Prof. May in the manner in which they did. The APO signers to this petition repre- sent 296 homes in Lakeside. This is staggering truth absolutely and undeniably confronting the School Board, which refutes unquestionably

Previously to joining the army he had been a lawyer. Getting back to camp rather late one night, he was challenge by the sentry. Obtaining no response, the latter lifted his rifle and roared: If you move you are a dead man." "Allow me to remark, my good man," said the lawyer-soldier, "that your statement is absurd. If move it is excellent proof that I am alive. To my mind it is incomprehen- sible that" "Pass. MT. Blackstone" said the sentry.
