When found, Mrs. Young was lying on the floor of her ‘sedroom with ‘a rifle beside her. She had shot herself 'thmugh the heart and it appeared that \death was instantanesus. It was iearned fcn polics enquiry that Mrs. Young had ‘seemed to have planned the deed while !in a depressed condition. She had sent ‘her two children, Beatrice and Edwin, ‘to a matince at Cobalt, and had also asked an adopted son, Frank Cook, to to the rear of the house and cut ‘some wood. With these three out of \the way she had repaired to her own room and .taken her life. When Frank Cook returned to the house a short |time after and could get no response from Mrs. Young when he called her, he investigated and found her dead upstairs. He called a gentleman who | was passing the house at the time and ‘the police were then summoned. Proâ€" |vincial Constables Byrme and Harper ‘answered the call and notified Coroner W. C. Arnold.

The way the memâ€" bers are signing up for the event, it looks like one of the biggest fourâ€"enders the club has had. Perhaps Christmas cards were the biggest surprise to the merchants. It was thought that last year would proâ€" ba‘jly see the card business at a peak but this year‘s was even better. Many stores were completely sold out while others had very few left. Three or four years ago, one Timmins merchant told The Advance that most Christmas cards were imported into Canada from the Uniteq States, England and Gerâ€" many. This year by far the greater part were made in Canada and the Christâ€" mas card industry in this country has reached the amazing point of turning out inillion dollars worth a year. Many thousands of them were sold this year in Timmins. | Many Sign Up for Big Fourâ€"Ender Toâ€"morrow Jewellery was, as usual in Timmins, one of the big Christmas items. This year‘s trade in that line undoubtedly set a record. Nail polishing outfits, pen and penâ€" cil sets, and high quality perfumes and cosmetics moved in big volumes at the drug stores. Dresser sets, once such big Christmas ditems, were not exactly a glut on the market, but didn‘t sell in such big quantities as formerly. One remarkable thing noticed by dry goods merchants was the number of mitts sold. Ski mitts, dress mitts, for both men and women, were among the most popular items. So many of them were sold that nobody ‘in Timmins should be wandering around with cold hands this winter. Perhaps the biggest swing in the Christmas shopping done in Timmins â€"which set a new high record for the townâ€"was to quality merchandise of almost every kind. People gave use{ful thingsâ€"furniture for the home, houseâ€" hold appliances, hosiery and lingerie for the weaker sex; shirts and shoes for the men. Timmins men got just as many Christmas ties this year as last; just as many boxes of cigars and cigarettes. Timmins women were as usual the reâ€" cipisents of many boxes of chocolates and sunches of flowers. Quality Merchandise Speâ€" cially in Demand.
