Previous to leaving. for overseas, Pte. J. BR. Andrews, formerly with Reamsbottom Edwards, visited friâ€" ends last week in South Poreupine. Pte. Andrews was recently married to Miss Etta May Ostrum, of Dunraven, Que., and his bride accompanied him on his visit to the Camp. The sympathy of all will go out to Mr. P. MceCormick in the reeent beâ€" reavement he suffered in the death of his wife. Mrs. MeCormick died some weeks azo in the East, and was buried at ‘her old home in Almonte on Feb. 19th. Oir Thursday last Mr. Walter Turâ€" ner, Master Mechanie at the Poreuâ€" pine Crown, was presented with a handsome watelr as a mark of esteecm from his fellow workers. The machâ€" inery men, the and others were present on the oceasion, and Mr, Lous Duscharme made the presentation to Mr. Turner, who is very popular and much esteemed. Mr. Homer L. Gibson spent the weekâ€"end in the Camp. Mr. D. Ostrosser was a visitor to Toronto last week. E. L. Longmore and bhaby reâ€" turned on Friday from visit to friends in the south. The members of the D.Y.B. Club drove up to Mrs. A. R. Globe‘s on Monday evening and spent a very pleasant time. The work taken in was 6 pairs of socks and 1 shirt. The next meeting will be held at Mrs. J. P. MeLaughlin‘s. Nearly all the smaller moving picâ€" ture houses in Canada have been comâ€" plaining about the loss entailed upon them by the ""*Heatless Monday."‘ They claim that when they have only a change of, pictures every second night, they have to pay for the two day‘s nse of the films even though they only use them the one night and get only the one night‘s returns. The moving picture house in Haileybury has overeome this apparent difficulty in original and patriotie way. In obâ€" serving Monday as a hestless day and 'kovpinfl' the theatre closed that day and evening, the â€" HMaileybury _ show saves the whole ceost of the preture by not running a show on Tuesday evenings. Byâ€" this plaar two days are observed with the mimimum of Jloss to the theatre. Many of the better class of films eost enough to make two nights‘ showing neeessary tor a profit, and the Haileybury theaâ€" tre triumphs over this difficulty by not ordering pictures for either Monâ€" days or‘ Tussday, but keeping closed both nights. A certain amount of aâ€" musemeat is desirable, perhaps even necessary in a country like this, but fFour days a week will allow practicâ€" ally all to be cheered and livened by the popular movies. _ If the movies continued growing and extending in popularity it is likely a prohibition movement would soon be headed aâ€" gainst them by Jimmy Simpson, W. J. Bryan and Rev. Ben Spence. _ God Save the King! "©Who will buy a tag for Toby?"

SHACK USED FOR OIL HOUSE BURNED AT HOLLINGER Bome excitement was caused in town on Friday evening when the fire whistle at the Hollinger blew the aâ€" larm. The Timmins Brigade hitehed up in short order and waited ready for a call should the fire prove beyond the control of the Hollinger brigade. The reflection could be plainly seen in town though the burning building itâ€" self could not be discerned. It provâ€" ed, however, to be a fire of no particuâ€" lar importance. It started in a shack used as an oil house. This shack is situated near the Central Shaft. Just what caused the blaze is not known. Part of the Timmins brigade, includâ€" ing all of the Department employed at the Hollinger, made their way over at once to the mine, and the Hollinger brigade soon had the fire controlled. No particular damage was done. In the countless tombs today thoere sleep The greatest heroes of their days, The giants of their time, who led Their fellows safe through troubled ways, Go read their names and then reflect, As you their records gaze upon, Thouzh all these men have passed § away This busy world keeps going on. Let tomstonees teach you humbleness, If nothing else about you will ; Gaze on these silent arms of death, Grim tributes to men‘s worth and skill.
