...barrel-chested David Courtois, Canadian guide. For years Guide Courtois was guardian of the Triton Club, exclusive Quebec fish and game preserve, one share of stock in which (necessary for membership) is worth $300. When not guiding U. S. and Canadian sportsmen, shock-headed Dave Courtois raises children, traps beaver. In August 1928, he loaded two canoes with flour, bacon and steel traps and traveled 450 miles up the Peribonka River from his frontier home in the village of Roberval with two of his sons, 19-year-old Réné and 13-year-old Michel, for a winter...

...July Trapper Courtois was brought back to Roberval by some fire rangers, so weak he could scarcely guide his canoe. In midwinter, he said, he had sent his boys ahead to their base camp with 50 pounds of flour, a moose flank and half a beaver while he made a side trip to lay a line of traps 100 miles away. The winter was bitter. Trapper Courtois was stormbound, nearly frozen to death. When he reached the base camp weeks later his two boys were gone. Frantically he searched for them. At last, nearly starved, he had been forced...

Undaunted the rebels opened at No. 66 Beaver St., Manhattan, an office which was called a' "consulate" by the. self-styled "Consul," Señor A. Jiminez. When reporters dropped in, the Consul assured them that merchandise shipped from the U.S. to Sonora and other states controlled by the rebels would be subject to a heavy fine unless registered with the consulate. Strolling back to their press rooms, and eying latest despatches from Mexico, the reporters could see at a glance how little founded were the pretensions of the Consul and his government to Power...

...members of the section of abnormal psychology, or, as some wit flavored minds choose to call us "the abnormal psychologists", are housed in a small frame building of the Boston & Maine period of architecture at No. 19 Beaver Street. Beaver Street? The name is unknown to Cantabrigians; even the taxicab drivers in Harvard Square, with the exception of course of the sapient Nappy, are unacquainted with it. Hence we must state that it is a picturesque thoroughfare which leads off Memorial Drive a block beyond the John W. Weeks Memorial bridge. It is a very pleasant location for an embryonic...
