The fight was long, she faced it with

And with the courage of .a Spartan

Her Christian faith held .fast and un-
afraid,
She p'lum'bed the deepest depths life's
cup to fill.
'Tis ]hard to die so young and cast

The promise of youth's tadiant, happy

To struggle on and on, .and on and on,
And ,fight again a foe you cannot slay.
Futile the. fight, .I think II hear some,

Nay, for no sacrifice is made in vain,•

THE M'INISTREL SHOW
Once again the talented artists of
Seaforth have demonstrated their ab-
ility and the ,liinstrel Shaw in Card -
no's hall last 'Thursday and Friday,
will go down in history as one of the
finest successes of the many put on by
the local organization. Naturally the
second night's performance was the
smoothest of the two. bait both were
most enjoyable. It would not he fair
to pick out the various stars, all had
their part to. play and all did it equally
well. However, the ladies should re-
ceive special praise for the added at-
traction to the 'stage setting, it was
beautiful, the pretty dresses blending
well withthelighting effects and de-
conations, to say nothing of the per-
sonal appearance of each and every
one. The chorus work directed by
Mr, ;Milne Rennie left absolutely no-
thing to be desired, while the solo
work of the different performers was
of an equally ,high character, espec-
ially so in the last chous-where Mrs.
James Stewart .excelled herself.' The
end men, led by the veteran, Mayor
J. F. Daly, went over big and the six
email boys singing "The Sleepy Town
Express" captured the hearts of the
audience. The skit, "Shot at Sunrise"
directed by Mr. Dalton Reid, ably as-
sisted by Mr. 'Wallace 'Park and com-
pany, is seldom bettered on any vaud-
eville stage. It was a read hit. Mrs.
Milne Rennie acted as accompanist
throughout and received the special
thanks of the Bowling Club executive
For her unselfish, ' artistic work
throughout the long grind of 'practice
and performances. The stage setting
and general management of the show
was under the direction of Mr. Frank
Sill's, the resultant effects amply de-
monstrating his talent for this sort of
work. The energetic president of the
Bowling Club, Mr. W. J. .Duncan,
whose efforts towards making the
show a success, were untiring, together
er with the executive wish to thank
all concerned for their wonderful
work and assistance.
WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
The regular meeting of the Wo-
men's Institute was held in Carnegie
Library, May 13th, at 3 o'clock. The

Mae 'Wallace with .community sing-
ing, after which Mae Wallace gave a
report of the number of meetings held
last year. Miss 'Smith of Glanford
Station .gave the most inspiring talk
on the •subject, ."Home Maker's Task"
which was much enjoyed by all. An
instrumental by Josephine Edge and
violin solo by Maybelle Rands were
much enjoyed and a pleasing duet
was given by Dorothy Bro'adfoot.and
Alice Thompson. A social half hour
was spent. National anthem closed.

MRS. CHARLES H. ELSE.
To Mr, and ,Mrs. Robert Archibald
of town is extended the deepest sym-
pathy in the death of their only
daughter, Ellen Selina, beloved wife
of Charles Herbert Else, who 'sue -
climbed in Toronto General Hospital
on Friday morning May lath while
recovering from three'serious opera-
tions• The death of Mrs. Else just
entering upon the prime of her life,
is keenly felt• by a widespread circle
of friends and .acquaintances, who
held, with her parents, hopes of her
ultimate recovery from this illness.
IbIrs. Else was born in McKillop,
on April 7th, 1901, and after receiv-
ing her early education attended Sea
forth Collegiate for a couple of years.
She attended business college in 1919
when Mr. and Mfrs. Archibald moved
to 'Seaforth, and took a position the
following year asa stenographer with
the MacLean, Publishing .Co., in Tor-
onto, where she remained for three
years until securing a position with
the National Electric Co.,. Toronto,.
which she also held for three years.
At the Motional Canadian Exposition
in 1922 she carried off the bronze me
dad for speed. She was a very active
meni1 er of St: Janes' Square Church
in Toronto, of which she was still a
member at the time of her death. In
1926 she was married to Mr. Charles
Else, son of Mr. and Mrs. Else, of
Toronto. After their marriage they
went to Detroit and French River,
when her illness developed and she
came bonne to Seaforth where she re-
mained -for two years. Not gaining
as test as her friends ' desired, she
went to Gravenhurst Sanitoriuna o•n
October 10, 1929, For a time her
friends felt th'a't she was doing re-
markably well and everything was
pointing towards recovery, But this
past winter she began to fail again
and as a last resort the theocoplas'tic
operation was tried. After three of
them it was too nosh for the heart
and on the 15th she passed quietly
away in the General Hospital.
She possessed a very bright and
loving disposition that won the af-
fection of a large circle of friends.
Her strength 'of character was evi-
dent to those in contact with her
during her illness, which she bore
with courage and Christian fortitude.
Her young husband, who has been
with her throughout it all, and her fa-
ther and Mother, survive to mourn
their loss.
iThe funeral service in N'oath Side
United Church at 2.30 o'clock Sunday
afternoon, was attended- by a very
large number, in silent testimony of
the esteem and love which she herd in
the hearts of the people. The p'a's-
tor, Rev, W. P. Lane, conducted the
service, during which "Jesus, Saviour,
Pilot Me" was sung by the ladies'
quartette. The !flower -bearers were
