COME AND HELP TRIS MOST URGENT CAUSE AND LIGHTED / - A CHILD'S HEART ADMISSION 25c, (NO TAY) LONG AND USEFUL LIFE Dr. Wm. Shaw, an uncle of Dr. J. W. Shaw, of Morrice, Mich., died last week. He had been practising in lefichigan for many years, but receiv- ed his education hi Ontario and spent his early years here. :IIe visited his nephew here last year,; and although over the four score shark, was as active and interested in everything as many a man half his age. Dr. Shaw attended School at •Few ler's School, on the second concession of Hallett, until he was 16 years .of age. He was a clerjt in a store at Varna for two years. He attended school after that and secured his eery -eificate as a school teacher, taught. in Howie& township for two years, " then two years at 'Walton, finishing his teaching at Motherwell, .County of Perth, for eleven years. The Hon: Arthur •Meighan ,was one of his pup were: Chas. and Henry Peacock, James Miller, Thos. and Susan Liv- ingston and Mrs. Gibson. The following is copied from the Morrice News -Clipper: "William, son of John and Cather- ine 11 Shaw was born in Fayette- ville, North Carolina, on July 18, 1851. When a ehild he moved with his widowed mother to Canada, re'- siding e:siding in the Province of Ontario. After graduating from high school and Normal College, he . taught school for several years. The last eleven years of that period he was instructor in the school in Mother- well, Ontario. While there he was married to Miss Anne Pringle. Moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan, Mr. Shaw entered the University and graduated from, the department of medicine in. 1891, The. year follow- ing his graduation he located in H lis: Some of ,his Clinton schoolmates Morrice, where' he practiced' eontin g uously till the time of Ms death. For several years Dr. Shaw .served as a most.f i t eaen e t • mem• ar b of the Mor - rice Board of Education. As a tu, tor he >evidently visioned the future. In a• newspaper, printed in the city. of St. Mary's in Ontario, I found the. following tribute given by enc who has sat under Dr. ShaW's instruction and is now himself .filling a high position in the teacinnge profession, Ho says, 'After n'tany years as a teacher, I give, as my deliberate op- inion, that in the case of scientici- eally correct methods in the inter lectual appreciation of child -mind and child -nature and the patient and per- sistent striving t0.inerease the men. tal and moral stature of his pupils, Mr. Shaw was decades ahead of his the., For forty-one years, Dr. Shaw liv- ed ived in this neighborhood.. During that time, lee not only built himself into the living fabric of the community, Mit endeared himself to the hearts of us all. Among his outstanding vir- tues were integrity and sympathetic faithfulness as a practitioner. Professional honesty was a part of his religious belief. When I think of his courageous fidelity as seen hi a thousand ways, which demander] the sacrifice of personal comfort and involved pecuniary loss in order that those in physical pain and trouble of mind, might be relieved and corn- fcrted. When I remember his kindly tolerance of others and the breadth of human understanding which char- acterized him, I remind myself that these are the marks of a true man. These are the measure of real man- hood. - Knowing as eve do, the distin- guishing marks and virtues of our friend, we think it no wonder that he bore the appellation, "The Gand Old Physician.' I think of Bien for a moment as a man apart from his profession. Yes- terday, a caller at my home made the remark that 'Dr. Shaw was a man of superior individuality. He was a superior man.' That was a striking remark and after thinking about it, T recalled having react somewhere that the "Superior Man" is he with whom familiarity does not breed contempt. Taking that as a true criterion, our beloved friend was a superior man indeed. Few indeed of us can stand the test of intimacy. Wo sat at the tab- le, but a few hours ago, with a gentleman who said 'for More than thirty years Dr. Shaw- was our phys- ician, as soon as lie entered the house, we were reassured, hope and courage and confidence revived. The lunger we were associated with him the move highly we esteemed hien: What richer encomium could be given «cue than that? Yes, the last- ing quality, is the quality that counts Now our beloved friend and trust- ed physician has left us. So long as eonseiousnesp is .ours we shall cher- ish his memory in our hearts. Thr doctor is survived by the widow and two; sons, Dr. Milton and Harold, both of Lansing, also one sister. Mrs. Mary Stanley of. Morrice. These we especially commend to the precious care of Him who is the leather and friend of us all. On account of the large number ;el friends and acquaintances of the de- ceased, it was thought advisable to hold the funeral of Dr, Shaw in the Morrice Community Hall„ instead of the M. E. church, and it was well that the change was made as the large hall which seats over 500 was filled to capacity. Many Owosso physicians aitel dee-bore from all over this section of the state were in at. tendanee. 01 all the deaths record- ed in Perry township in the past quarter of a century, we have never seen a larger attendance nor have we seen such a great display of beau- tiful floral tributes, which were banked to either side of the casket and completely filled the front part of the hall, and required four large automobiles to take them to. the cemetery. .Rev. M. J. Johnson, another be- loved citizen of Mortice, and great friend of Dr. Shaw, as he had lived just across the street in Morrice from his townsman for many years, preached the funeral •sermon and it was one sof the finest funeral orationr and final tributes ever paid to anyone in this township. Besides the immediate family, Dr, Shaw is survived by the following nieces and nephews: Dr. J. W. Shaw, Clinton, Ontario, ;Colin Shaw, Wheel- h ing, W. Va., Miss May Stanley, Miss s Katheryn Stanley, and Geo. ,Stanley all of Morrice, Mioh. Mrs. May Muir and Mise Dorothy Shaw rof Montreal, Joseph Shaw of Brussels, Ont., Mrs. S. Bennett of Wlinghant, Ont., John Jefferson oe Saskatchewan. Out . of town relatives attending the funeral were Dr. J. W. Shaw of Clinton, "Ontario, . Colin Shaw of Wheeling, W. Va,, Mr. and Mr's.

KILLED IN CAR ACCIDENT A terrible car accident happened on Saturday when a young girl and her muse from East Aurora, N.Y., were killed at - Pulaski, N.Y., when their car skidded on the pavement and ran into a tree. The nurse was a former Walkerton girl, Miss Tan- ner, a niece of Mrs. Harry Johnson of Clinton, the girl Miss Kuczmanska a patient. The car, a light coupe, e, skidded on a level stretch of road 'Saturday afternoon hit a eulvert and bounded into a tree. There were marks on the roadway, indicating the brakes had been applied. The car came to a stop several feet off the ground, being held there by the branches of the tree. It took nine men half an hour to get it down and to remove the bodies. The identity of the wo- men was established through a diary kept by 'Miss Kuczmansrca. They were bound for Williams- burg, Ont., for an examination of Mi:s Kuczmanska by Dr. William Locke, widely known orthopaedic stir- gecn. Feuds were supplied by popu- lar subscription at Bast Aurora, where Miss Kuczmanska hacl been cared for at a private sanatorium in which Miss Tanner was assistant superintendent, The patient hate suffered for years from arthritis. The family of the Walkerton girl were communicated with at once and the partner of her brother, who are in the undertaking business, went clown and brought the body home fon burial, the funeral taking place on Tuesday afternoon. What makes the tragedy all the more sad is the fact. that Rise Tanner's father is lying 111 as the result of a fall from the roof of a house which he was shingling a few weeks ago when he was ser- iously injured. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson motored up to Walkerton for the • funeral. According to an announcement ade in London on Friday Rev.

Hale of Clinton, who was• described as th'e "Mother of Thanlcsgivin ." g Mrs. Hale was editor of a well -'known women's magazine, .one of the first of such published, and was respon- sible for many reforms as she used her fine, highly -trained intellect for the good of her fellows, and it is said that she worked for seventeen years to have a general day of thanksgiving proclaimed and in ],863• Lincoln made the proclamation. Mrs. Hale, who was the mother of the late Horatio Hale of Clinton, is best re- membered, perhaps, as the. author of the little poem, "Mary Hada Little Lamb," but she had many finer lit- erary achievements to her credit and' was also much interested in moral' and intellectual progress. 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. and Mrs. J J.
