SPLENDID RECOJZD.—The News of Huron, South Dakota, speaks as follows of a former Morris boy, a son of David Breckenridge, 1st line:—The many friends of J. M. Breckenridge, a former principal of Huron High School, will be glad to know that he has successfully completed his post- graduate work at the University of Wisconsin, and has recently been honored with the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. Mr. Breckenridge has made an enviable record as a man and as a scholar, especially in' original research and investigation his scientific work has attracted attention. He has won admittance to each of the. three honorary fraternities which are open only bo scientific men. His work at present is with the Welsbach Mantle Company, of Gloucester, N. J„ with sa wh our a le has coapted a position. A part .of his work for this coinpa- ny will take him abroad to scientific work in a labratory of Vienna. The. importance of his position is indicat- ed by the fact that his predecessor went from ib to a full professorship in Columbia University. Mr. Breck- enridge's record is certainly worthy of emalation by all the young men of Huron. While his family was well off, he started out to school resolved to make his own way through. He taught in the schools of this oity and in other places until he had money enough to send hint through college, but even while at school he still kept on workingl and was able in a this way v to pppa most of hia expenses wil Ott calling onhis other hank account. He made his way throua•h school and college without one cent from his parents. His experience only proves what can be done by any young man with a little ambition and brains, 0+4+•+••1•••l,•+•+••N•+++P+••F•4• Watches atc s Clocks Jewelry J • • • • + Having opened a new Jewel- ry business in the Vodden I Bloch, Ethel, T atu prepared o meet' t the demand J'or all that is required in that line, ta1SPeti al attention Ki 1an 10 re- ♦dng and all work guaran i• teed.

SUDDEN DEATH OF JOHN DANE, SR. —John Dane sr. 'is dead. The word flew over Howick as on the wings of wind. He had been digging potatoes on Tuesday forenoon, of last week, had partaken of a hearty dinner, and was passing down the steps from the kitchen when he dropped into Mrs. Dane's arms. His sudden death cast a gloom over the whole community. Mr. Dane was born in the County of Fermanagh, Ireland, in 1832 and when a small boy came to Oanada with his parents. After several year's' resi- dence in varioos parts of Ontario, the family settled on the farm 1 miles North of Gorrie, where Mr. Dane died. He was one of the pioneers of Howick. Another name is stricken from the ever lessening roll of our old settlers, and a solitary woman in the sunset of life, and a lonely home, are left to at- test how sadly they will miss him. It must be so ; these tender ties cannot be severed without a pang. About 47 years ago he was married to Miss Mcllroy and they raised a family of four sons and three daughters, who are all settled in homes of their own, except James, who is in Western Can- ada. How much his community owes him and such as he, it is impossible to estimate, though it would be a grate- ful task to trace their influence throu- gh some of the more direct channels, in their various characters of husbands and father's, of neighbors and friends, to speak of the sons and daughters, they have reared to perpetuate their names and emulate their virtues. But it comes not within the scope of this brief article to do so. The funeral took place from the family residence Friday afternoon at 1.30 o'clock, for Gorrie Methodist churoh where ser- vice was held. Interment was made in Gorrie cemetery. ' Vance Dane of this locality is a son. People We Talk About Mrs. Jessie Kerr visited relatives in Listowel on Wednesday. Mrs G. A. Deadman has been visiting at London and Delaware.
