RESPONSIBLE Business is a personal matter. You can't get away from it. Somebody has to be responsible for quality. The deciding factor In every deal is "Who's Responsible We are responsible for everything we sell you, whether it be Tires, Tubes, Blowout Patches or what not. And the tact that you know we are responsible and everybody else knows it, too, is the only thing that keeps our business good. But this responsibility of ours would be an awful load--a liability rather than an asset--if we didn't buy our Tires from people who are just as responsible to us as we are to you, and who always send us goods that we can stand back of. * _ Ask anybody as to our a W.

R. tracks, one and a half iles east of Rideau station, on Saturday morning, by Conductor Francis M. Woodcock in charge of the work train that was proceeding to Find- lay at 6.30 a.m. Dr. D. E.

RR., Belleville, was ! present in the intercsts of the rail- way. : James Kenville, night operator at Kingston Junction, sworn, said: "About 6.30 a.m. Saturday, while on duty at Kingston Junction, I hap- pened to have the telephone to my ear and heard Conductor Woodcock of the work train which left the] junction at 6.10 a. m., despatcher at Belleville at 6.30 a.| m. that he had found a body gbout | one and a half miles east of Rideau | station. He also stated that the | man was dead, and by appearance | had been dead some time and I was | | | being notified by the despatcher to notify a coroner which I did. - I was on night duty. The body was found of the north side of the west-bound track, the. north track, and yjae | close fo the rail. The man's coat | seemed to be pulled over his head. "| The left arm was across the breast and right arm pointing straight out. I am of the opinion from the man's position and 'injuries that he could not have been struck by a train. If he had been hit by an engine he would have shown more injuries. As | | far as I could judge he might have | been between two box cars, or other- wise on a train and been jolted off. | There are notices that trespassing | is prohibited. It is possible that the | | man was coming from the east." Question by jmryman-- How did | the conductor come to find the body? Answer, He was on the work train | going to Findlay. The body was! three or four feet from the end of | the tie. | Question, Do you know what | trains went west? Answer. No. 19 at 12.43, No. {21 at 1,19, No. 17 at 3.17 and two | | freight trains. | Question, Do you find many men | | stealing rides? | Answer, Yes, I have seen them om | passing trains from my window. Dr. J. S. Keyes, sworh, explained the nature of the wounds on the | | body of the unknown man and saids | "I would say that he died from the | effects of a broken neck. There are several minor scars on the scalp, aI-| 80 an injury to the right hand. He | was not otherwise injured. He was | about sixty-five years old, had a| large hernia, no teeth, somewhat | bald on top of his head, and .bore no tattoo marks. He did not w®ar a| beard. | Francis M. Woodcock. sworn, | said: "I am conductor on the G.T.R. | work train. the men out to work this morning on the work train I saw the body lying about three feet from the north | rail of the west-bound track, head | to the west. The coat was up over | his head. I would judgé that he toppled off a train and his coat went | up as he rolled. The body was cold. It was about 6.30 a. m. The .arti- | cles found on 'him were a small to- bacco bag containing a small leath- er purse with sixty cents and some! broken pipe stems. My train had | not struck him. I judge that he fell | | off a train on his head, as there were | | no .bruises showing where he had | | been struck. , I don't think he vas. a regular railway beat as he was too | old." This ended the evidence, as, no person saw the accident which caus- | ed the man's death. Who he was, | where he was going, and how his | neck was broken, are questions that | will remain unanswered. Evidently { he fell on his head with force and | | in putting out his hand to save him- | {self had it badly gashed. His | | clothes were dirty with soot from the engine smoke and he 'wore two pairs | of pants. He was short being about | five foot six inches and had no teeth | | glving him a prominent chin. There | | wis no means of learning his iden- tity and. the body .will be buridd | | from M. B. Keyes undertaking par- | lors at the expense of the railway! j unless friends establish his identity | | which is hardly likely. | Coroner Mundell explained at the | | outset that the law demanded that, | an inquest be heard' whenever a man | , was killed during the construction | | or operation of a railway. This was | | carried out as a measure for the pro- tection of all classes whether they | were rightfully on the |tracks or| trains or were trespassers as was | often found to be the case. fe | of laws prohibiting trespassing and the great danger of hg on freight trains many men will do it.

L. Morrison was- the preacher at St. Andrew's church on Sunday. morning... Taking. for. his text the lament of David, II Samuel I, 17-27, he drew an important les- son for present-day application: David's lament for Saul and Jona- than was one of the folk songs of | the Old Testament with which the! book abounds. These songs can | never be improved upon in literat- ure or in act because they consecrate | the common acts of every day life, and a great literature is bound ifp In these songs. In one kind of song the: Jews excelled. This was the song of battle, but there was always to be found in them something great- er than themselves. This 1s true ot the song of Deborah, the song of the Red Sea and the song of Jonathan. The speaker analyzed the character of Saul, his relation to Samuel and his conduct in the events {immed- lately preceding his death on Mount Gllboa- The details of Saul's life show that he paid the price of per- sonal deterioration, and there something admirable to see him fight | ing a hopeless fight.

The destination was Brewer's Mills, and the popular and comfort- able motor cruiser, Anna M., had been chartered for the occasion. Once all were aboard and the ex- pedition was away to flying start, there was no worry about the rain as all were well under cover, so, just for spite, old Jupe Pluvius called off his clouds and the beautiful course down the Rideau was bathed in sun- shine, which suited the picnickers to a finish. While the boat through at Kingston Mills everyone had an oppertunity to renew acquain tance with this popular outing place, and to take a stretch, after the boat claimed them once more and pro- ceeded through the forest of sub- marine stumps which stretches for miles after leaving the Mills. Chaffey's Locks was made in good time, and thie party reached Brewer's at about two o'clock, with galety still rampant, but appetites @niting larg- er and more insistent every minute.
