MACFARLANE, Schumacher, Ont. The Cochrane News last week says : ‘"‘I,. Deleglise, aged 46, was found dead on Friday morning last in T. Mercier‘s store at Norembega, a twentyâ€"two revolver bullet lodged in his head. The deceased was Mr. Merâ€" cier‘s store Manager and had been a greatly trusted employee for the past eight years. He had apparently openâ€" ed the store while partly dressed, waited on a customer and made the necessary record of the tranaction. Some fifteen minutes later, he was found sitting in a chair in the store dead, with the gun, a twentyâ€"two skeleton stock revolver lying on the floor in front of him. Coroner Tuckâ€" er, accompanied by Inspector Conâ€" stable, went from Cochrane to Norâ€" embega on a speeder, and, pronouncâ€" ed the case to be one of suicide. As the deceased had expected to go on a protractd vacation the following day and all his accounts were in good conâ€" dition, his friends andâ€"relatives were disinclined to accept the verdict, as there appeared to be. no motive for suicide. The brother and brotherâ€"inâ€" law of the deceased, who came to take. the body to Montreal, did not arrive. in Cochrane till Saturday night, and the body was taken away on Monâ€" day‘s National. NOREMBEGA MAN FOUND DEAD WITH GUN NEARBY *****4 4 *4 3 hb * * * * %4 4 ® ‘*‘There are eight Protestant famâ€" lies in our community, none of which have been to church or been visited by a minister since last summer. People sit back and fold their hands and wonder at the lawlessness of land. There are other communities however who have the best of spirituâ€" al advice and still are noticeably tainted by the erime wave."‘‘ That was one way of looking at it. The Ryland ccorrespondent of The Cochrane News looks at it exactly otherwise.. That correspondent wrote last week ;â€" * RYLAND WANTS A CHURCH OR ELSE SOME MINISTERS Fire Chief Borland discovered a new game at the Timmins Fire Departâ€" ment annual ball last Friday evenâ€" ing. He discovered a couple of hats and coats left outside the hall, and investigation led to the theory, pracâ€" tically proven, that this was a new scheme to get in to the best dance of the season without the required exâ€" penditure of two dollars for a ticket. The two young men whose hats and coats were found outside, apparently walked in through the door without the formality of a ticket, the doorâ€" keeper naturally thinking that as they were without hat or coat they were among the dancers who had just stepâ€" ped outside for a breath of coel air. It was a new trick and an amusing one in a way, but the Fire Chief says it will not \\mk again, as the Fire men, now that the dodge 4s known, will counteract it with another scheme that will beat it seven ways. NEW WAY OF BEATING THE DOOR TO GET IN TO DANCE THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO 7 Second Ave. may be. They have instead the old faith, courage and humour that make the true pioneer. Last week one of the settlers up the river insisted to The Advance that summer was rcallv here at last. ‘‘Why, ‘‘‘"he saad ‘‘1 sure is summer now because tlns morning I had my first row with a river drlver over blocl\m" the river.‘ The weather has held back farmâ€" ing operations in this district. Still much has been accomplished in getâ€" ting ready for the season. If the weather turns warm soon, everything will be All right for this is a land of very rapid growth. There has been considerable ploughing done by local farmers, together with dlsmng, harrowing, ete. Whlle the land has been thus prepared for the erops, it has been too cold to do seeding. The frost is out of the ground, but the earth has not yet warmed up enough to make seeding practical. The setâ€" tlers have had to be content with preparing the land and waiting for more favourable weather for the sowâ€" ing of the seed. It is noted that considerable more land is under eultivation than in preâ€" vious years. While little new bush was cut down during the past season, much. burnedâ€"over â€"area and partlyâ€" cleared landâ€" has been â€" cleanedâ€"up WEATHER HASQHELD:BAGK® FARMINC OPERATIONS Still Much Ploughing Has Been Done in District.

June, the marriage month, is almost here, and it may be of interest to conâ€" sider one of the marriage day customs thaf®has had a wide vogue for many yearsâ€"the custom of throwing#®hoes after the bride and groom. A Glasâ€" gow man in town the other day was giving the ongm of the custom. He s(ud he read it in The Scotsman (a to many Scots) and so was sure it was authentic. [Throwing a shoe after the bride, he said, is an Eastirm custom. The shoe was used in Eastâ€" ern countries method of correeâ€" tion, just as the famous slipper: of childhood was used by wise parents to impress life‘s lessons,. In the East there was an ancient ecustom. by which the bride‘s father presented a shoe to the bridegroom as a token that the parental authority was vielded up to the husbhand who. in future would carry out what correeâ€" tion was necessary. There may be bridegrooms who will believe this exâ€" 1)l(m¢mon and believe that with the shoe they receive the right to correet the bride. Let them try it! The more cautious grooms, however, will wisely maintain that the shoes thrown on a wedding day mean nothing more than an expression of good luck, as is. the common belief. s PE zm m The North Pole was formally knocked down, this week to Captain Amundsen, who looked it over a bit and then took possession in the name of Norway, The visibility was low at the time he visited the property, but he evidently decided to take a chance on letting his grubâ€"stakers in Norway fight it out with the League of Nations later. Commander Byrd, U.S.N., who, inspected the agcreage earlier in the week, probabl‘y agreed with the original prospector Comâ€" mander Peary, in the opiniom that the expense of developing the prosâ€" pect would be more than Jus prnetâ€" palsâ€"" the United Stateeâ€" would feel justified in paying. Amundsen is reported to have expressed| the inâ€" tention of returning later, and will then, no doubt, sink a couple of diaâ€" mond drills on ‘""location.‘"‘ Meanâ€" while, Norway has staked the chiinnâ€" and we would like to see them get a ‘‘bid‘‘ quotation for it.‘ ORIGIN OF THROWING SHOES AFTER THE BRIDE Captain Amundsen‘s ‘‘discovery"" of the North Pole was thus related in a recent issue of The Market Deâ€" spatch in Wall Street terms, this kind of bull not being hard to ‘)eur The Market Despatch says.â€" Last week announcement was made that negotistions had been concluded between the Government and the Spruce Falls Power and Paper Co., whereby it was decided that the 550â€" ton mill of the company should be located at Kapuskasing. There has been talk of locating at it Smoky Falls where a ‘‘closed towr*‘ eould be built similar to Troquois Falls. This would have been a serious matter to Kapuskasing. It is said that Mr. J. H. Black, manager of the company, favoured Kapuskasing. At any rate Ka#puskasing has been eventually deâ€" cided upon as the place and. it will mean progress and prosperity for Kapuskasing. = PROSPECTS AT NORTH POLE REVIEWED IN MINE TERMS SPRUCE FALLS MILL TO BE a â€" BUILT AT KAPUSKASING.

It isn‘t safe to walk on the side, or ride a bicycle on the road, or drive an auto, or ride behind a horse. There have been tragic illustrations of these danâ€" gers.
