kino Names British Premier.

The premier Or prime minister of
Great Britain is nominated by the
reigning sovereign, to form cabinet
and organize the government. The ap-
poltment of a premier does not have
to be confirmed by parliament, but no
prime minister could carry on the
government of the country for any
length of time who did not possess
the confidence Of the house of COM
mons. He selects his colleagues or
other members of the cabinet, and his
resignation dissolves the ministry.
Members of the British house of lords
hold their seats by virtue of heredi-
tary rank and titles, some of which
were conferred by sovereigns hundreds
of years ago. Canada has no repre-
sentative in the British parliament It
has a parliament and government of
it's own with q governor general, ap-
pointed by the king of Great Britain.

Obituary
DOROTHY TOWNE.

The passing of Miss Dorothy Towne
this week. Uraemic poisoning follow
ing few days. illness from tonsilitis
brought her young life to close at 10
o'clock Saturday morning, January IL.
She was the eldest daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. L. H. Towne and was born in Ed
gerton, Oct. "a, 1899, and was senior
in the high school of this city.
A burial of especial sadness occurred
on the afternoon of last Tuesday when
Dorothy Towne was laid to rest. A
splendid young life had passed out from
our midst at the age of eighteen, an
age when youthful aspirations are gen.
orally budding forth with the full ex-
pectancy of years of opportunity in
which to make such aspirations real.
Miss Towne was an unusual young
lady. She was talented in literary and
artistic traits as it is given few to be
talented. AS student in the local
high school the personality of Dorothy
has been felt as a tonic by all who
knew her. The charm Of her influence
drew pupils and teachers to her with
irresistible force and placed her in a
position of natural leadership among
her school companions.
Having suffered with serious illness
for some years, yet her spirit could
not have been more bright and happy;
her attitude toward all things worth
while was as nearly perfect as it is pos
sible for a human beings attitude to
be. Loved by her teachers and school
mates for her sterling qualities, it may
we'll be said Of Dorothy Towne that she
left both school and community better
than she found them and that the in
fiuence of her splendid character and
spirit will make itself felt for many
days to come.
The sympathy of the entire commun-
ity is extended to Mr.. and Mrs. Towne
and to Elizabeth, members Of the fam
lily who survive the departed Dorothy.
