A'fr. Richardson was born fn Turn -
berry township, near Bluevalo, fifty
years ago rind when quite young mov-
ed with Itis parents to the Township
of Stanley, Bayfield Road, where he
resided at the time of his death.
it was early seen that the subject
of this sketch was a lad of no ordin-
ary ability. After his Public school
career he entered Clinton Collegiate
and Model school, rapidly fitting
himself for the profession of Public
school teacher, to which he gave three
valuable years.
it was while teaching he wrote off
his first class examination complet-
ing it by a successful terns at the
Faculty of Education. He then
taught for one year in Prescott high
school. But the young man's am-
bition looked out to wider fields in
intellectual attainment. Mr. Rich-
ardson. entered Toronto UniKrorsity as
an undergraduate in Honor Philos-
ophy.- and English, graduating in
1897. During his University career
he held first place in firstclass honors
in Philosophy throughout every year
of the course. It was not .unusual
for hies to take one hundred percent.
in many of the subjects. He had a
most versatile mind and seemed to
be be able ,to master any subject
with_ equal facility, Thoroughness,
with a power to grasp the minutivo
of a subject in detail, was one of his
strong mental characteristics.
It was said by his professors that
he wrote the' obstruse subject of
philosophy in charming literary style
and with an illustrative faculty
which made it clear to any one.
1n. 1800, two years after gradua-
tion, Mt. Richardson was accorded
the "Geo. Paxton Young" travellt,ts;
Scholarship ia• Philosophy. He went
abroad and spent a college term in
Wurtzburg, Germany, under Profes-
sor hulpe, afterward visiting the cit-
ies and scenery of continental Europe.
Eater he was given a fellowship in
Clark University, Worcester, Mass.,
the University niade famous by G.
Stanley Ball, the eminent Psycholog-
ist. It was in this University that
Prof. L. W. .Baird, a native of St.
Marys, college classmate and close
friend of Mr. Richardson, finished his
work by death lust two months ago.
But during all this time Mr. Rich-
ardson was putting up a heroic
fight against. tate untoward circum-
stances of a constitution unsuited to
student life and for a time was com-
pelled to give over his academic car-
eer: In 1008 he.did temporary work
M Manitoba College ah lecturer in
Psychology and political economy af-
ter which, finding that as outdoor
lite was the only thing suited to his
health, he gave himself almost al-
together to farming. At first reluc-
tantly it may well be said he aban-
doned his hopes but with fine spirit
and that faith in the oterruling prov-
ddencc of God on which acrid all the
back eddies and cross currents of life
he never lost his gtip, he gave tray
to other duties and other tasks with
a cheerfulness which was a surprise
to many. While his plan of lite was
changed, he may have exercised as
great an influence fit a little rural
community as ie college halls,
Air. Richardson was temperamen-
talty as well as spiritually a deeply
religious mac. He had the soul of
a mystic. In his outlook on.lite he
combined the poetic and philosophic
temperaments in fine proportion, He
marked the footprints of God 14 na-
ture and life and loved to trace them
whither they led.
He wrote a great deal of excellent
poetical verse, which his friends
were wont to urge hint to let see the
light of day, but here as elsewhere
his quiet, shy, modesty shunned the
glare oI publicity.
lie had an indomitable faith in the
controlling guiding hand of Provi-
dence. Ills faith was best' expressed
in the last words ho heard from his
neuter's dying lips and which, lie
caused to he carved upon the family
monument : "Olt Lord, thou alone
canst help for we are as nothing be-
fore Theo,"
The community where Mr, Richard-
son. spent the last years of his life
loved hint as a brother and its many
ways looked to him for counsel and
guidance.
His Antics as clerk of Stanley
township for the past six years were
discharged with that same conseient-
ioas regard and thoroughness Which
11e]tnanikested in all his undertakings.

Mr. Richardson was much in de-
mand at public gatherings and 1ho1i-

incisive wit, gentle raillery, and Raul
of common sense often' throw all on:
the troubled waters.

"Nor blame we death '
Because ha bore the use of virtue out

We know transplanted human worth

1Iis death, though sudden, was to

of its imminence but to us who ser•

of the author of "In Flanders Fields"
in his little allegorical poem on
death called "Mine Host" ; "Wo hail

on apace and ' sound ns o'er we

The funeral, which was largely at-
tended from all parts of the county
by friends and relatives, took place
from the residence of his brother,
Joseph J. Richardson, the old home-
stead. The service, which was held
in St. Andrew's church, Bayfield, was
conducted by his pastor, who, after
speaking most appropriate words
from Ps. 181, vs. 1, , referred to the
departed in a glowing eulogy of his
life and attainments with the splen-
did service which he had so freely
rendered to the cause of Christ in
the Church and community. The ser-

The many friends of Pte. Maurice
R. Johnston are pleased to see him
home again after serving' nearly three
years in. France. Pte. Johnston en-
listed in the 120th Battalion of !Ham-
ilton. After landing in France he
was transferred to the -10th Machine
Gun Company, in which capacity he
served for two years. Although he
had many narrow escapes he carte
through it all with only a slight
shrapnel wound in the left hand.
Needless to say he was thankful when
he hit old Varna once more. Maurice
was the first of Varna boys to don
khaki.
Mr. James Steep has engaged with
Wm. Sproat of Seatorth for the sum-
mer. We congratulate Mr. :.proat
on having secured the services of such
a good man.
Mr. David .Johnston of the Babylon
Line had a very successful sale on
Wednesday of last week, being favor-
ed with a beautiful day and an im-
mense crowd. Everything was in
tip-top order and Mr. Johnston de-
serves a good deal of credit for his
enterprise in the raising of purebred

Mrs. Johnston intend taking a trip
to the western provinces during the
stammer. We all wish them success
in their new adventure.

The play from which the Film is taken
Sweeps New York like a Cyclone !
THIS is the, grand cheer -up picture
of the day. It is the happy peace
film! There has never been anything
like it before. The conflict just closed
has produced an epoch-making motion
picture that will brighten the folks at
home and the boys coming home as no
other force or agency can.
THE quickest possible way to forget
the troubles now past is to smile
them away with Old Bill, Bert and Alf
the three famous musketeers of the
British army.
"THE THE BETTER 'OLE" is a suc-
cession of stinging emotions,
with alternating flashes of humor and
pathos, connected by the wittest situa•
tions and sub -titles ever seen on the
screen.

c .t ° of rare charm
and—abl
OUR first impression of this present day Maxwell as it
passes you on the street is one of decided beauty.
Your first ride in it, whether at the wheel or in the
tonneau, tells you of its rare charm.
But after six months you find a new admiration for the
Maxwell. You find it shuns the repair shop, that it runs and
runs and runs and never stops running.
Then after a year is past you develop an enthusiasm for it
that dictionary words don't seem to fully describe.
And then after you have had it for more than the average
life of a motor car and you find it far better than even the
Maxwell salesman said it was you search for the reason.
This is what you find:
For 5 years Maxwell cars have been built on the single
chassis plan. To date 300,000 have been turned out on this
plan. Each car better than the other. Each one better look-
ing than the other.
There have been more than 1000 refinements in the
Maxwell, but never once have the Maxwell executives swerved
frosn the original program.
You conclude that reliability was designed "into" the car
and built "into" it, and that a policy of 300,000 -all -alike is the
soundest kind of reason for writing your check fOr a present
day Maxwell.
