Several requests had been made for the repair of one â€"] from being buried alive on Sunday. Just as they were driving by the new public school on Fourth avenue, the borses sank down in the mud hole there; the black maria went down to her waist; and all efforts to do anyâ€" thing but sink down, down, down, seemed useless. There was no help, not even sympathy. _ People seemed to think that it was only just retribuâ€" tion that those who had buried so many should at last be buried themâ€" selves. _ Even John Fogg went by without helping, saying no more than : ‘‘Well, it‘s none of my funeral.‘‘ As the rig sank lower and lower, a resigned lo6ok came on Mr. Whyte‘s face and Jack Easton pathetically turning to his partner in extremity, saw that look. His professional inâ€" terest. roused at once, and he reached over to fold the arms calmly on his partner‘s bosom. But. that was too much! Mr. Whyte wasn‘t standâ€" ing for that! Jack went spinning back with force and the resulting yell and tussel so frightened the horses that they jumped forward and cleared out of the ‘hole completely. Saved!

We don‘t allow them to walk around and transact business.‘‘ Then far, far away, beyond the purple hills of the North Davidson a loon called softly to its mate. It was the old, old, spring song of love. And silence settled down once more on the vast North Land."! There was another sequel to the paragraph about the ‘‘*nearâ€"tragedy‘‘ at that mud hole.~ W. H.

Daylight saving time went into effect in Timmins on April 14th or 15th as the case may be, in 1918. The Advance had some sarcastic referâ€" ences to this attempt to kid ourselves at what time of the day it is. "‘If an ‘hour can thus be really saved by pushing on the clock,"‘ said The Adâ€" vance, ‘‘why not save two hours the same way? Indeed, why not push along the clock and save three hours, two days, three weeks, four months? Why not push on the clock three years, and then the war will be over, and everything will be Jake?"

He was an outstandâ€" ing figure in the North. Usually dressed as a farmer at work, or a woodsman, he did not give the impresâ€" sion of a wealthy man, but his earriâ€" age, his courtesy and his cultured manner always bespoke the Highland gentleman. ~At the same time it may be noted that he amassed considerâ€" able wealth in this North Land. He was born at Inverness, Quebec, in 1857, of Highland parentage, and it was one of his great pleasures to meet men who could also ""‘talk the two talks."‘ At his own request he was buried in his own burying ground at Kelso, where he had founded a town. The name Alexo, given to the nicke! mine near Kelso, was coined from the first part of his Christian name and the last letter of his surname.

This was such an unusual thing that The Advance made special reference to it. _ The town ceouncil was for many years very noteworthy for the harmony preâ€" vailing among the members and with the public, so that a departure from this was ‘‘news.‘‘ The Advance came in for abuse and defence at this funny session.
