NOT THE SAME - Through a slmilari•
ty in names a wrong impression has
been created which may cause a great
deal of harm. A few days ago it was re-
ported iu many papers that the Montreal
Herald had gone into liquidatiou. The
news was true but the public should
know that the paper in financial difficul-
ties had no connection whatever with
the great Weekly paper called 'elle
Family Herald and Weekly Star. The
latter paper is published by The Mon•
treat Star Publishing Co., and is known
in almost every home in Canada In
justice to our confrere we make this
announcement, The Family Herald
and Weekly Star is one of the strongest
papers on the Continent, 'rhe word
Family" should not be omitted when
addressing the paper.

I have no doubt that before you get
this you will have received word of
Will's death. I knew him very well
and liked him very much. I cannot tell
you how much I regret his death, To
you 1 know the loss will be almost un-
bearable, but you, at least, have the
satisfaction of knowing that he did his
duty and did it well, In addition I
know you will get a great deal of cOm-
fortfrgm knowing he led such a good
life and the assurance that he has gone
to the land of Eternal Peace. Please
accept for yourself and son and convey
to other relatives my deepest sympathy
in your bereavement, Sincerely yours,
