"I shouldn't think people woul! want to cheat if it's for the good o the country they're going to live in," said Humting Eye, "if the tribe hurt, that hurts everyone in it." The Secret Service man nodded his head. ' "A whole lot of things in this| world would be easier to manage ify everyone felt that way," he said.

MAN IN A PREDICAMENT THROUGH LAPSE OF MEMORY CAUSED BY HEAT "| Uriah Beeman, Aged 67, Begged Oonductor to Carry Him to Mon- treal When Home Was Brockville. Brockville Times-Recorder Temporarily deprived of his mem- ory as a result of exposure to the hot suns of Arizona, Uriah Beeman, aged 67, 268 Bartholomew street, a life- long resident of this locality and a citizen of the town for the last few years, refused to be convinced that Brockville was his home when he ar- rived here yesterday .afterpoon and only when he recognized familiar faces at his residence admitted his identity. |. Mr. Beeman, who was born in the township of North Gower, county of Carleton, and who afterwards lived | first at Burritt's Rapids and later, { for a long period, at Algonquin, left | in January last for Temple. Arizona, | to visit his daughter, Mrs. Amanda | Dobson. When he left Temple a few | days since on his return he was ap- | parently in full retention of his memory and successfully negotiated a number of transfers from one train | to another en route. When, how- | ever, the conductor of Grand Trunk { train No."14, the Chicago flier, in- formed him yesterday afternoon that Brockville was where he left the train, he remonstrated, declaring | that he did not know where Brock- | ville was and asking to be carrigd ion to Montreal. He even offered | to pay his additional fare to Momt- real. 7 Noticing the predicament of the elderly man, Grand Trunk detective William Haslem, who was on duty at the Union Station al {he time, in- vestigated and with the assistance of Depot Ticket Agent A. E. Parker, | discoyered his identity from papers in his possession. They finally per- suaded Mr. Beeman that he resided in Brockville and that there was no object in him continuing his journey After first questioning them as to whether or not he was 'back in Can- ada and expressing joy at being an- | swered in the affirmative, Mr. Bee- man undertook to show Detective Haslam where he resided. He first | took him to the Bank of Montreal, where his son had been employed. Finally, after a cir cuitous journey, the Bartholomew | street house was reached and then, | with the sight of familiar faces apd | surroundings came an awakening. li! Mr. BSeman's relatives were unap- prised of his impending »eturn and . ere much pleased with the efforts put forth in his behalf by the rail- way officials. Mr. Beeman himself Was at loss to acequnt for his tem- Porary lapse of memory and can only attribute it to the warm climate address on William |, il ' street where he had once lived and ll later guided the detective to LETTER FROM UNCLE SI.

Orphans' Home School | . rg Me a Empire Day. » The pupils of the O.H. school held their usual Empire Day celebration on Friday afternoon. This was not attended as well as usual, but those present expressed their appreciation of the programme of songs and reci- tations prepared by the children, and also listened with interest and at- tention to the very able address given by the Rev. Mr, Kidd, of St. George's Cathedral, and to that by W. A. Saw- yer, member of the Board of Educa- tion, 'who acted as chairman on this occasion, and spoke to the children in a few words, expressing his inter- est in their work, etc. The pro- gramme closed in the usual mannér by the singing of God Save the King. DEPOT SCHOOL. The pupils of the Depot School, celebrated Empire day, with patriotic songs, recitations and drills, in the presence of a number of visitors. When Mr. Best, chairman of the school, came to conduct the Empire day exercises, he brought a baseball, bat and glove for the boys, and two bats and a ball for the girls. The pupils appreciate these gifts. THE OFFICE BOY'S CORNER Izn't it funny how many fellers gets the idea that the boss is only a big boob and a grou¢h. T'other day one of our fresh guy cub reporters got a calling down for fakin' a story instead of gettin' the straite goods, and he sure was a sore boy when the boss was done with him. Being only an offis boy, I was tickled to see someone else getting it in the neck, specially as this feller was always trying to get me to run around for him. But he turned round when the boss went out, and he made the air look blue with the things he sed. Now I ain't trying to stick up for the boss or nuthin, but it don't seem hardly fair to me. Of course, the boss has many fdilings. Still, we should give "him credit for trying to do his best. Isn't he the feller that hires you. You may know it all, and be runnin' the whole show, akkording to your own idea, but he is the guy that has to cough up the greenbacks on pray day. And besides, he's the only guy that can raise your pay. One of our nifty little stenogs was all tickled t'other week when the boss boosted her pay envelop two bucks a week. That's what the boss can do when a feller keeps on the job an' does his work square. I know my boss is a good guy when you gets to know him, bekause only last Christmas he slipped me a five- spot, even although I had got a bunch of copy all mixed up after the proof reading queen had given it the 0.K., and the result was that weddings and murders and deaths and motor kars got all mixed up in the paper. So -you see, it pays t0 keep in right with the boss, and to feel kind of friendly towards him. So keep on Mcking stamps and quit knocking bekause your boss gets mad once in a while. Maybe he has a sore tooth or a corn or sumthing, or maybe his wife has beat it with the movie writer. You never can tell. B. Visiting at Westbrook. Westbrook, May 24.--Nathaniel Powley, with his daughter of Chi- cago, 'I1l., after an absence of sixty- five years, is visiting the scenes of his boyhood and is the guest of Nath- aniel Smith.

HOW SPIES DIE. "Father" Rollin Tells of His War Ex \ "Father" Rollin, the man who tied Bolo Pasha, Mata Hari, the dancer, and twenty-five other traitors and spies to the stake on the desolate Vincennes Jarade grounds for execu- tion by a French firing squad, has taken the liberty to talk out of his gruesome school, now that his busi- ness is slack. . "Pere" Rollin says his duties first nauseated him, but he got used to it. Between contemplative puffs from a stumpy clay pipe, he fontinued: "I saw 27 fall under the bullets of the platoon of poilus -- Greeks, Spaniards, Germans, Austrians, Ital- lans, even French and English--and two women. "Bach victim gets a fresh stake, whieh is a dead tree, stump or branch, for the stake is often shot away." One method by which Pere Rollin gauges the interest in executions is by the demand for souvenirs in the shape of pleces of rope which tied the condemned man. "Bolo's lend," he went on, "was more sensational. Bvery poilus of the firing squad had to get a bit of the rope, I've only got two inghes left." Needless to say: this demand for souvenirs was a ar "Shingles before buying elsewhere. Always a good stock of Rough and Dressed Lumber Allan Lember Co. gE.
