He wasn't rich lee dollars but the day they buried him The eyes of all the multitude with tears of grief were dim, We sent a smart reporter out to chronicle his days, To write about the things he'd done and shower him with praise; But when the scribe canoe back a- gain he shook his head in doubt And said he couldn't find a thing that he could write about. Ile hadn't held an office and he wasn't known to fame, There wasn't any title he could a.1d unto his name; He hadn't built a college, or a hos- pital or such, And all he knew about him was that people loved him much. "Go out and ask the newsboys why they mourn for him today," The editor commanded, "ask the throngs along the way Why their heads are bowed in 'hoe - vow, get the people now to tell What there was of worth about him that they loved this man so well.' And the people gladly told him that the reason that they wept Was because the man' had given of the riches others kept; And that brief obituary had a golden Zine like this: Hes life was •spent'in friendship and Ire's one the town will noise." ":Edgar A. Guest. ACCIDENT AT GODERICH Joe Langridge and Edgar Mallough Backed Truck Against Pole Which Gave Way Cur Recovered . Joe Langridge and Edgar Mallough narrowly escaped death by drowning on Tuesday afternoon about two o'clock when the Ford truck, driven by the former, ran backwards into the harbor.

The young men, were turning and hacking'- the car against a post, which gave way and the ear backed into the water. Young Mallough jumped but fell into the water and. swam to .safety. The other young roan went down with . the car, but was rescued by Mack McDonald. He was uneonseious and First Aid was rendered by'' William Webster Jr, of Goderieh. " iResuseitation was diff% cult but after some time he was re- stored before Dr. Bunter, who'' had been called,: arrived. A rope was attaohed• to the car and it was towed by gasoline launch around the. south pier to the., beach" side. When the car was above the. water, boys, bathing, drew it in until the men on the beach could reach the rope, and it was finally laeeded. Edgar Mallough - is the son of Joseph Mallough and a . brother of William Mallough whe with Leon- ard McDonald was dr„wned in the Spring. Joseph Langridge is the son of Stephen Langridge. Both boys are engaged in, fishing business for which the truck was used. i e • tbb bea'serpent. These even go so far as toget very facetious about it.
