The following ballad was then put together on Nov- ember 1T, 1900. Now Left .to Mourn My Friend Now 1 am left so lonely with a sad and 'broken Heart, From the 'loss of a faithful friend, though this life we've had to part If you listen to my story, it will Blue- ly cause you pain For a boy that left his native home, to never return again, latest name is Frank Charrette, that you people may all know, The first from 'many friends to me, from thirteen years ago, ,Since then we've been togetheiethrou pleasant and wintry :skies Till at last his day was uumbe;ed, and poor Frank hadlo •die. On the 24th of September at eleven at night we left, Not fearing any danger, or kziowing what was best, To stay home at :St. Joseph and 'there. some time to stay, Or board the speedy train, and land across the bay. The following 28th day in Millers- burg we did 'land, Not fearing woodsman life, at that time was our command, We were called by Harry King, our foreman, bright and gay, To go into the lumber woods, all winter for to stay, On the 9th day of November, after cutting down a tree, Without the least of 'warning, another we did not see, The one that killed poor Frank,, and brought him to the 'ground, • And I with mourning cries, made the lumbering boys surround, Then we took the bleeding corpse, and to camp we did go, All leaving the waving woods, and there the bloody snow, • Where his life blood he had. shed, beyond the hilly plain, . But the horrors of death Garde so soon, he had to bear no pain. Poor Frank was taken in to eanzp, and all the boys to foirow; All igoing with lonely thoughts, and hearts so full of sorrow,: All thinking of our holies, where we should have remained, In remembrance of poor Frank,. that never returned again, Then Frank was laid ' into a coffin, and in camp no more joy. When we thought of the lad, and the parents, only boy, While then some way we had to,. plan, for to take him home, . ,t i Where he was laid into his gray*, and never more to roam. • The next day at ten o'clock liis•father who, did come, On his way he was contented; think- ing their of meeting his son, Till we told him of the news; :and with a bowed down head' . +r Te meet with his .only son, and find him cast down dead. Then we took him home for burial, on Monday we arrived, To meet with aching Hearts, and,hear them . mourning cries, Till the next day ;by his friends he was followed to his grave, And no more did the ' parents try, their loving son to save. Now niy story will be ended, take warning boys, by'one That you may meet your death, ben- eath a green beach tree, Then read this story througe, and you will then see, On a night's repose, these lines com- posed by his friend? ?

In the fall of the year 1900, 43 years ago, two young boys in their early twenties, who then lived a short distance north of St. Joseph, who had since their early teens, enjoyed the life of gambling and sight seeing in the world, and from their roaming had seen the rising and -setting sun in many Provinces and :States, had de- cided to go into the Michigan Lumber camps to spend the winter. As both had much experience in shanty life, it was a pleasure for them to should - der their turkey and make their way into the lumber woods. This last voy- age was the last for one of them as C[iieSNAPS[OT G SPOOK PICTURES T'ROiVI time immemorial, from generation to generation, there have always been honest people who claimed to have seen ghosts. And during the three generations siuee photography came into exist- ence people believing in ghosts have maintained that, since ghosts have been seen, they can be photo- graphed. Even though no ghost believer, when confronted by one, seems ever to have had a camera handy to prove this claim, speculation on the ques- tion has gone so far as to suggest that, surely, photographic chemistry ,will some day evolve an emulsion sensitive to the emanations of the spirit world, if such there be, The discovery and photographic use of the -invisible rays of the spectrum, infra -zed and ultra -violet, and of x-rays, +.Grenz rays and other kinds of radiation for which photographic emulsions have been developed, is pointed ;to as ggivin.g grounds for the speculation, Certainly a fascinat- ing, not to ,say alarming possibil- ity to contemplate, but meantime, whether or not spooks exist; present :day ,photography has no trouble at Al in making synthetic snooks. Behold the spook illustrated. It is the work of an amateur photog- rapher. How was it made? First, with the camera ou a tripod, the door was photographed and the camera ehutter closed. Then without the camera's being :moved or tho hint wound, the ghost waited into to picture, the ghost being a person dressed as such. Then a second ex- posure was made for half the time given the first exposure, In other words, it was simply the old trick You don't believe in ghosts? Pray how div.: t' -'s ons jet there? of dorble exposure by which all --is weil'd n•sirac ie. ray be p::r- ,eezeed in pilot ngiapliy. depending upon. the ingenuity sir'th ' ph'otoe a. pher.

Cal 5aIlgR�l� of Canada keep abreast of the Dominion's expanding meds.. Six times since 1870 the Bank Act under which the Chartered Banks operate has been revised by parliament—six times in that period the activities of the banks have been carefully scrutinized by the people's representatives. Every ten years the Bank Act has been thus revised. Each one of the six decennial revisions bas contributed much to the evolution of the banking system to_ meet the expanding needs of a developing Dominion. In 1934 the sixth revision of the Bank Act was made. Fifty mem- bers of the House of Commons made up the committee, which examined witnesses—among them bank officers, government officials and reformers — and studied exhibits filed by various individuals and organizations. Findings were submitted to the House, and later that year the" Bank Act was revised in many important particulars. Through democratic enquiry and decision, the Canadian banking system has grown and been adjusted to meet the needs of the people, providing a deposi- tory for savings and a sound basis for Canada's free economic development.
