His brother Tom, 69 years old, who stands beside him at tbe forge, bas anc son, Harley, but be is assistant auditor of the city of Toronto. Tbey do not regret tbey have no sons to carry on their. art. There is ro art to carry on. "Once I mnade the sboes and even the nails", said' Jo'hn. "Now the shoes come from the factory and we fit them to the horse. And there are fewer and fewer borses to be fitted. Many borses working on the soft earth are not shod. Wben the farmer takes to tbe road, it is in a car. Fifty-three years ago he sent samp- les of bis craf t to the Philadelphial centennial exhibition and won second prize. He bad also exhibited at Toronto. Once at Ottawa he won both first and second prizes. Jobn dragged out a box whicb con- tained the winning exhibits. To open it was like opening a Phanoah's tomb. A sledge bammer and pick were ne- cessary. The sboes, to -keep theni from rusting, were packed in lime whicb, in the course of years, had become as rigid as plaster of Paris or a death mask. Those sboes neyer will be worn, neyer again exhibited. There place is in a museum as relics of a bygone1 art. One set was for Clydeadales or Percherons and bad the dull finish of the unpoîisbed iron. The other îighter set was for roadsters or rac- o rs. The steel was poîished till it shone like nickel, and its grooves and indentations were gilded. It was ai mirror of the past. Mr. Perey put one sboe on top of the other and called attention to the fact each of the front or bind pair was the exact replica of its twin. Per- fect symmetry was one of their artis- tic p oints. He aIso remarked on the graceful, even curve of tbe inner edge cf the groove tbrougb whicb the nails were driven. The curve seemed traced by a pair cf compasses. ýIt was made by band with the help cf a small en- graving tool, a diminutive adze.

BOWMANVILLE BLÀCKSM1TH ON JOB SIXTY.ONE YEARS John Percy Holds Longevity Record as Active Blackamith Last week's issue of The Toronto Star Weekly contained the following very inteî esting write-up of the Perey i3rothers, two well known .Bownian- ville citizens. Tbey hold a unique record, the particulars of whicb we gladly reproduce as compiled by R. C. Reade, a feature-writer of The Star: Oshawa recently bas celebrated the golden jubilee of S. F. Ho oper, its native son, "the daddy of the Horse- shoes, who was fifty years a black- smith. Bownianville, however, bas a "grand-daddy" of the borseshoes, al- so a native son. He is John Perey, 77, who 61 years ago completed his apprenticeship to bis father and made his first sboe. And Bowmanville does flot need to forge any documents to establisb its dlaim to a smitb of greater longevity than the ancient one of Oshawa, wbo some years ago retired to live in Tor- onto. Jobn Perey can be seen daily in hiis leathern apron at bis forge, mak- ing tbe bellows roar or plunging tbe red hot iron into the issing vat or beating it into cold, black docility on the ringing anvil. He bas no spreading cbestnut tree at bis door and be is not quite so mighty a man as Longfellow's Her- culean smith. He is not more than five feet seven in heigbt, but he a large and sinewy bands and forearmn muscles as strong as steel cables. He can swing the big sledge bammer asý deftly as a parlor maid flicks a duat- er. His smithy, at tbe door of wbicb nearly four generations of Bowman- ville children bave lingered to see tbe sparks fiy and tbe smoke cue fo the boofs of bormes, is 70 years old, a red brick structure grimy with charcoal fumes. "lIt was built by mny fatber'", be said. "He came from Devonshire andi his father wvas a blacksmith before hini '. He exbibited bis fatber's great seal brought many years ago from Eng- land. The edges of the bard steel still were as sharp as tbe tootb of envy or ingratitude. Driven into a tough oak plank, it left a clear im- pression, "I.

Dece.ased was a member of a f am- ily whicb bas resided for many years1 in Darlington townsbip, being a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Garfat, whol bad come from England in early if e and settled on Con. 7, Darlington. He was twice married, first to Eîla Rosa, daugbter of tbe late Alex. Ross, 7tb Line, Darlington, and second toi Henrietta Abraham, who survivesi, hîm. He leaves one daughter by bis first marriage, Mrs. W. C. Annis, Dunbarton, and a brother, Josepb.1 Deceased always followed the occu-1 pation of a farmer until his retire-j ment a few years ago. For the pasti two years the bas resided in Brook- lin. Fie was a niember of the Uni-2 ted Cburcb, and a Conservative in ç poitics. Tbe funeral was held from the family residence, Brooklin, on Thursday afternoon to Zion Church, wbere a sbort service was beld, andi interment took place in Zion Cerne- tery, Mitcbell's Corners. Rev. J. P. JuIl officiated. was a Young fellow'", he remarked,j "and I was very pleased -%,len my fatber insisted I sbould go ta Tor-E anto and select tbe new anvil. Fie said: 'You wiflbave to use it, John, s0 you had better choose it'. I got it from Rice-Lewis. They gave me a five-year guarantee and it bas last-t ed 55 eyrsn Mr ercy is a living refutation ofi the tbeory or fallacy that drafts pro- duce colds. Tbere is no fire in theE smitby except in the forge, and tbat1 is only a spark ecp when the bel-1 lows roar. Consequen1y for 60 winters bie bas been standing al day long in a fireless room in freez- ing weather. And bis only ilînes bas been an attack of typhoid. His tattere and begrimed leather apo ooked as venerable an antique as the anvil. But it was quite mod- ern. "The horses stamp on and tear Tbey also stamp on the blacksmith. For every instance of maliciousness, on the part of a motor car wben it starts of its own accord and runs over, its owner. be could site 100 casesg of ingratitude of horses to their bene- [ factor and sbaemaker. To be a blacksmith a man needs muscles on bis ribs as weIl as on bis ai-ms. "Tbey also wilî strike at youu wvth their fore feet', lbe declared, and ex- bibited fingers crushed by bis own bandiwork. Shoeing a borse wasi as bazardous as sboeing away becs.1 Despite bis 77 years, lhe bad no in- tention of leaving the forge for tbe fireside. As long as there was a borse left be was going to nail on sboes until lie was nailed into bis coffin. Fie bad laughed at 60 winters of fire andl frost; he could laugh at a few more. 1A former inayor of Bowmanville bore witness te lis bardibood. "If you pass bis smitby any winter morn- ing at eight o'clock you can sec hini at work, though the floor is cavered witb snow'". He bas been honored in tbe comn- munity in wbich be was born, for lie bas been high school trusta. and many times a niember of the town council. Bowmanville has not so great ai population as in the old timne when the street outside the blacksmith's 1 shop was like a borse fair and Mr. Percy was hiable to wear eut a new leatber apron in one day.
