Latest reports seem to leave do doubt
as to the lo?a of John kirk land and
Thomas Fox in Atlin lake Sunday last
although their bodies have Dot yet been
recovered. The atTair Is a particularly
sad one. The men started to crom
the lake early In the morning out of a
desire of Kirklaod to (ret home and of
Fox to help him on his way. It was no
ordinary circumstance that caused
these men to succumb for they were
men utted for the frontier and had met
it at its worst and won against it many
times. Kirkland was especially well
knowo to be a hardy son of the north,
one who knew how to handle himself
and was without fear He was besides
a man amODg men, a rough diamond,
was k. .vn widely as such, and his In
flu i.;: a aong his fellows was verj
considerable. He was named as a
candidate for parliament a few year*
a^o. His loss will be deeply felt. He
was about 42 years age ami uumarried.
He leaves two sisters living at Atlin
to whom general sympathy is extended.

TO-DAY IS OURS
There'* many a man In this world of
sio,
Who's biding the time when hi* ship
comes in,
An 1 wasting the hours to tind too late,
The craft brings a cargo of worthless
freight.
Twere better by far as he sita on the
pier.
To fish in the waters so deep and so
clear;
Much better a cod.or its kith or its kin,
Th.a cargo of ships th*t may never
come in !

The trouble is when you make a fool

friends wUeu you are forced to make

The lies that
lire told about
you are not so
very harmful un
less they are
true.
The only way
to avoid having
to take thlugs as
they come Is to
carefully see that
they are satisfac

It is well kuown that a rich father

The Busy Ye?r.
The voters stand around In (roups,

Onco every four they come around.
These strenuous campaigns.
And Rive us pleasure that Is not
At times unmixed with pains.
Tho candidates at once proceed
To chew the rag for fair.
And on the startled atmosphere
Is watted much hot air.
It Is tho time the voting king
Proceeds to pick and choose,
And, though ho shuts his eyes and votes.
Ho really cannot lose.
For every candidate Is pledged
To walk tho narrow way
And each be better than tho best
How can you beat it, pray?
It Is a tlmo for common sense
To mingle In the game.
But that Is not a certain sign
That It will do the same.
It Is not sanity's long suit
To on tho scene appear
And do its best to boss the job,
For this Is campaign year.
