In | short, Jean Baptiste Morin was a { character, but one that not only uf { forded entertainment to those whose | good fortune it was to be sssociated | with him, but that aiso inspired re. spect among opponents and won eon | fidence and affection among friends. | In fact, it can be truly said of Mr. Morin that, while he had political | adversaries, no enemies. For | twelve consecutive years, that is, from | 1806 to 1908, he sat in the House of Commons for the County of Dorches- ter, Quebec. At least one-half of the | members now composing the House | were personally acquainted with Mr | Morin, and it is safe to say that not ! one of these members learned of his | death without a feeling of personal | bereavement. Those who sat in the House with Jean Baptiste Morin will even hold him in kindly remem , and to be so remembered by one's associates is the most beautiful of monuments. * Accompanying the announcement | of Mr. Morin's death were published sketches of his career, telling how his ancestors came from St. Etienne. France, away .back in -16%6--only twenty-eight vears after the founding of Quebec by Champlain, and six ars before the founding of Montreal y Maisonneuve. They settled in what is now Montmagny County, and some of their deseendants are living The late Jean Baptiste was born not far distance, at St. Henedine, in Dorchester. As a lad of sixteen he went to the United States to make his way in the world, and he succeeded. e learned the coal and the lumber business. He engaged in both and made money He carried on the business of a rail. way contractor, and made more After a sojourn of thirty- { two years he returned to his native { province, where his people dwelt and where his heart had ever been. He served his parish and his county in municipal affairs, and in 1808, when the tide of Liberalism swept the country he stemmed i} in Dorchester, and went to the House of Commons to sit in Opposition. For twelve years he sat there, and never was member more diligent in his attendance. Whoever might be absent when the Speaker took the chair at three o'clock it was not Jean Baptiste Morin; whoever might steal away to his lodgings during the wee small hours of an all-night sitting, Jean Baptiste Morin remained at his post until the House adjourned and everybody went home. It seemed to be of little concern to him whether his country permitted him time to sleep or not. None of the members of his time heard more speeches and delivered fewer. And yet he was not a silent member, for upon about every im. Jortant question he spoke once, usual y briefly, but always with great earnestness. With few exceptions he spoke in Fr-lish. and it was to some extent be of his rather pictures. que use ol a language that was not his mother tongue that hv» was al ways listened to with interest and often with amusement. But it must not be thought from this that he could not or did not treat a subject seriously or effective. Ivy. Nature éndowed Mr. Morin with although hi: endowments had not been developed by what the world calls higher education, he had been trained tn the harder school of action. He never failed to make his points, and when the subject was one about which his experience gave him special knowledge, his pointe were telling ones against those whose views he opposed, " In the official, social life of the capital, which is open to every mem. ber of Parliament, Mr. Morin took part freely and with evident enjoy- ment. What made him conspienons there. was the unconventional] manner in which he observed the coaven- tionalities. For instance, he was invited to dine one evening with a prominent member the ition, whose more than the average ability, and | from the chamber to have a chat with Captain Chambers, * usher of the Black Rod. was absent it became necessary for the Speaker to take his seal again. He did so, but horrible to behold, the Mace was not on the table! Sydney Fisher, who is a stickler for Parlia- mentary etiquette, gasped in aston ishment, and motioned to Doctor Sproule, another "light of ancient days," whose respect for the rules is almost as strong as his Orange prin- ciples. Meanwhile, Speaker Mareil was rushing through the formula, which sounded like "Mr. Fielding moves, seconded by Mr. Paterson, that the bill be read a third time pleasure of the House to adopt the motion car- ried." By this time Mr. Fisher's {ace was blushing red, and Dr. Sproule hastily sent a page for a glass of wat er. (Ww wnever the doctor is unusual. 3 agitated he always takes the water ure.) Finally the door-keener, notic- ing the Sprovk and Fisher signals of distress, saved the day by rushing in and flopping the time-honored em- blem of power and authority on the table with a thud Which apilled the | ink over the desk of Dr. Flint, clerk of tho House. Mr. Fisher is reported i to be seriously considering the nomi- nation of the doorkeeper for an Ed- ward medal of the highest class. He ertainly prevented a breach being made in the walls of the constitution, and in the words of the late lamented Doctor Barr, MP. for Dufferin, "he sopn his dutk and he done it noble." The Soft Answer. Lord Beaconsfield is alleged to have onee informed a young author "that he would lose no time in reading his book," with which statement the roung man was perfectly satisfied. In the same way sometimes, says the Parliamentary report wa Free Press, the Mini Works, realizing that * turneth away wrath," someNmes com- forts members of the Oppost a similar double.edged state It was ! f the longest-winded and "strongest. jawed members of the Opposition rose to his feet and asked the Minister to i Promise to prepare plans for a cer tain postoffice. It was either a soft snswer or a flood of eloquence lasting ! two o'clock in the morning. The whole House waited in suspense to | gse whether the. Minister could dam that flood "Ah," said Mr. Pugsley, "I can as. sure the honorable member that no time shall pe lost in preparing those plana." The member was satisfied and the day was s court or of a faction--a gilded lackey | who cringed and bowed the knee. !

Even More {ell on hie knees to Wolsey with abject humility. Yelverton apole- gized humbly for his small stature and soft and bashful nature; and Tip- toft besought tolerance for his "lack of sense." : Of a very different metal, however, was Sir Edward Seymour, the haughty and autoerstic, who, when Charles II. summoned him to attend in th: Upper House, sent back answer tha: he would be "torn by wild horses sooner than quit the Chair." When Sergeant Pemberton once | passed him with a familiar nod, Sey- i mour promptly gave him into arrest; and on another pccasion, when his | own carriage broke down on the way to the House, he stopped the next | vehicle that came along, turpmed its | occupant out, and took his place, say- ing: "Sir, it is mere proper for you | to walk in the streets than the Speak- er of the House of Commons." Sir John Tiptoft, another autocrat of the weal-kneed days, once gave his sovereign a severe lecture, and told him that he and hig house were "no better than they ought to be"; and Sir Fletcher Norton read George III. a homily on his extravagance, which cost him his Chair. Among many remarkable Speakers of past centuries were Sir John Pop- ham and Sir John Trevor. : Popham was kidnapped as a child, brought up among gipsies, played the role of highwayman--more for fun, be it said, than for profit--and ended his days as Lord Chief Justice. It was Popham, by the way, who, i i i 3 hath passed in the Lower House,' Wet Ui clothes, soap well with Sunlight Seep, roil and allow to soak for half an hour in either hard or soft lukewarm water.

Mr. Irving says there was an organ- ized storm of coughing on tHe first night of his production of "The Un- written Law."
