"George tile Hatter" Dead.
George W. Young, better known as
"George the Hatter" a most familiar
character in almost every town in On-
tario, died the other day at the Strat-
ford Hospital, where he had been. un-
der treatment for some time. The re-
mains were taken to Listowel for bur-
ial. The Listowel Banner, speaking
of him. says: -George W. Young,
known fair and wide over the contin-
ent as ;. Geordie the Hatter," has at
last finished his wanderings and been
laid away to his long rest. His was a
genuine spirit of vagaboudage, he was
happy only when on the tramp and he
kept up his wandering till the bast of
a long life of nearly seveuty years.
He served in the American civil war
and was entitled to a pension but so
careless of the morrow was he that he
never bothered himself about claiming
it and it was only the last year of his
life, by the help of a friend, that he
got his back pay and pension. True
to his nature he at once set about get-
ting rid of it as fast as possible and it
was not his fault if there was enough •
of it left to give his remains a decent
buriaL He died in Stratford hospital
on Wednesdaylast week, and gr. 11.
B. Murphy, who was instrumental in
securing the pension, and who held •1
small part of the funds hi trust; had
the body brought here for burial and
will erecta suitable stone to ?nark. his
grave in Fairview eeinetery. Geordie
was tender-hearted, loyal to his chums,
of keen intelligence and well-informed.

his make up. lie might have been •t
