ferred with Sir Thomas White regard-

he discussed with Hon. Charles Mur
phy a plan which the latter had pre

meeting of the Ottawa Canadian Clu

Sir Wilfrid himself died in he
midst of Vthe performance of th se
public duties which were his life
work, "with his armor on." Of h in,
as of his former great political p-
ponent, it has been said that he :wi.h-

close friends has quoted Sir Wil rid
-Laurier as having said in comment ng
upon the sudden demise of a mu nial
acquaintance. "That is how I wiuld
wish to go, no lingering, no bo her

Sir Wilfrid, although his gen al
health for a year past had been e cel -

indisposition. To one acquaintanc he
recently said he frequently felt eak
and dizzy unon rising in the mo mg.
On Saturday morning last, althiugh

1841, of a family thai had settled in
Lower Canada six generations be-
fore. His forbears came from An-
jou, France, and originally bore the
family name of Cottineu. A. mar-
riage contract dawn V up in Mont-
real in 1666, bears the signature of
the first representative of the fain
ily in Canada — Francois Cottineau
dit Champlauriet, or, translated lit
erally — Francis Cottineau, said, or
called Champlauriet. Apparently
this latter appellaton was subse
quently adopted by the family and
after Loais XIV. had by roya
decree proclaimed the land to b
French territory. They first estab
lished themselves in the forest of
Ile Jesus, an • island immediately
north of the IslandV of Montreal and
at the mouth of the Ottawa River
and a little later removed to the
Parish of Lachenaie, on the north
bank of the same river. Charles
Laurier, the grandfather of Sir Wil
frid, was a than of remarkable en
ergy and ability, and in the face of
many obstacles taught himself stir
yeying, and was master of rnathe
maties in his scholastic district At
the beginning of the 19th century he
estebished his son, Carolus Laurier,
on farm land which he had cleared
in the bush near the little village of
St. Lin, which nestles in the foothills
of the Laurentine range, north of
Montreal. Carolus Laurier, like his
father, was a surveyor by profession
and a farmer by habit, and followed
both occupations to his best advan-
tage. Hoewanted some of the strong
personality of his fathers but was of
a generous and friendly nature, and
-of an Inventive turn of mind, as is
evidenced by the fact that he was
the first person in the colony to de-
vise what then passed for a thresh -
in 4 machine, and which replaced the
flail, which he had inherited from
his father. Born in. -a quiet back-
woods settlement.Cardlus Laurier
was a radical in the strongest sense
of the werd, and perhaps it was the
father who laid the foundations of
the son's ,,political faith. In one rea,
spect Carolus -Laurier is particularly 1
deserving of praise. He was suffici-
ently acute to realize' that hi a son
had unusual aptitudes, b.nd to make
the beet of those mental, endow-
ments provided him with a good
classical education. In those day
this- was no light undertaking for
man of the station and, means o
Carolus Laurier. The father realiz
ed, too that it would' be of inestim
ible advantage to his son to have
thorough knowledge of the Englis
language and of English custom
and to this end he carefully directe

English regiments. Carolus Laurier
had done 'surveying in this neighbor-
hood and was well acquainted with
many of the families, and thus an
arrangement to have his son resi-
dent among them for a period was
easily brought about. Shortly after
-young Wilfrid Laurier was a figure
in the intimate life of the Murrays,
the Guthries, the Macleans the Ben-
netts and other families of the set-
tlement., For a time he boarded
with an Irish Catholic family, named
;Kirk, and later he lived With the
Murrays, giving, in return for lodg-
ing and food, his services as a clerk
in the general " store kept by the
head of the household.
. The school which young Laurier
attended for two terms, 1852-53 and
1853-54, was brusquely closed during
the first term because of the de-
parture for other parts of the teach -
one Thompson. He was quickly
replaced by a man of considerable'
rough talent, one Sandy Maclean,
who possessed a pronounced and
good taste for lit t
s era ure and
who
his ways made an admirable
teacher.. His young French-Cana-
dian pupil, learning English at ply,
at work, at home and at school,
aroused in the good Scot a kindly
concern and Sir Wilfrid Laurier
after years never failed to attribute
his knowledge of English literature
to the man who first opened his eyes
to the wealth of 'English letters.
These two years at -New Glasgow
proved of inestimable benefit to
young Laurier. Not only did he
seaure a good foundation for further
study of the English language, but
he had inculcated in him a broad-
ness of vision,an understanding
his English compatriots and a spirit
of tolerance and good • will, • which
ever afterwards proved a great
asset. In September, 1854, at the
age of 13 years,'Wilfrid Laurier was
sent to the college at L'Assomption.
There he passed seven rigorous
years of study. His health was
delicate, and his physique did not
permit of his taking part in the
ordinary sports of his fellow -stu-
dents. tanner's favorite recreation
was to visit the village court -house
when the judicial assizes were in
-progress and to listen there to the
pleadings of the village lawyers. Sir
Wilfrid often recalled of this period
Of his life that a contradictory
'meeting of two political opponents
always afforded him the keenest
enjoyment. In fact, in his anxiety
to miss none of such delightful and
auspicious events as court sessions
and public meetings he often ran
foul of the school authorities. 1 vited to be present—Mr. Biselone was

and on one occasion he had the su-
preme audacity to launch as a sub-
ject for discussion the theme: "Re-
solved, that in the interests of Can-
ada ,the French kings shnuld have
permitted the Huguenots to settle
here." Not only did he choose a
subject so shocking to his clerical
teachers at the college, but he cap-
tained the "pro" team, and when
the debaters were inteirupted by a
prefect and their theme was made
known young Laurier came within
an ace of being expelled.
Of twenty-nine students who 'win-
tered in the college at L'Assomption,
nine completed their classical
studies, and Laurier was* one of
these. Five entered the priesthood.
Laurier did not believe himself the
object of such a call, and at the age
of 25 be went to Montreal to study
law.
In 1864 Wilfrid Laurier was called
to the bareehaving obtained the de-
gree of Doctor of Civil Law at Mc-
Gill University.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier began his po-
litical life in 1871, when he was
elected to the Quebec Legislature for
the constituency of Drummond end
Arthabaska, but Canada _heard little
of him until five or six .years later,
when, as a member of the Federal
House for the same riding, he at-
tracted instant attention by his splen-
did eloquence during the debate over
the expulsion of Louis Reil, from the
Commons. A measure of his out-
standing ability may be gained by a
reference to the fact that though he
had only been in the Commons since
1874, he was, in 1877, invitedto join
the Mackenzie Government as Min-
ister of Inland Revenue. He ac-
cepted, but when re returned to his
constituency for re-election he met.
defeat, the ,Church of which he was
a member having thrown its influ-
ence against him. The Liberal mem-
ber of Quebec east, however, re-
signed his seat in favor of the young
Minister, and Hon. Mr. Laurier—as
he was then—fought a hard but vic-
torious fight and returned to Ottawa
with a good majority He was in
office but a year when the Macken--
zie Government went down to
disastrous defeat on the tariff and
National Policy issue. Sir Wilfrid
retained his seat, however' an. in'
Opposition proved himselfan effec-
tive critic. In 1880, Mr. Mackenzie
resigned the leadership of the Liberal
party and Hon. Edward Blake suc-
ceeded, holding the post until 1':7,:
when be, too, resigned.
The Liberals, in choosing their
new leader; had to' decide between
Sir Richard Cartwright and the
younger, but more vigorous and re-
sourceful man. The)? offered the
post to Wilfrid Laurier,' and, though
he first refused -to step over his older
colleague, he was finally induced to
accept the leadership provisionally.,
His appointment was the same year

week, Mr. A. McEwen of the 2nd
concession of Stanley, had the raise
fortune to fall, while carrying an axe,

stitches to close, and with prompt med-
teal attention by Dr. Rogers, we are
glad to say, that the wound is healhig
nicely. It was a narrow • escape and
John will need to be careful and not
be carrying sharp tools over slippery
places.—We are sorry to say that

is blythe and cheerful and has always
a smile and a kind word for everyone

be brief until she will be quite strong
again. Her son, Len Strong, of Clin-

Thomas meat and produce company,
visited his bother here on Tuesday.—
