Harrison Co, Limited Pee 90 | | | Afternoons Is a Most En- Joyable One. The steamer Waubic, of the Rock- under command of Captain Robert Carneg- ie, made amost delightful trip to {Cape Vincent and return on Sunday afternoon. The weather was fine and a large number of citizens took advantage of the opportunity for an jouting. Leaving the wharf at the foot of Brock street at 2.15, the steamer proceeded down the Cana- dian channel and through groups of islands that presented a most beau- |tiful sight to the tourists. An or- chestra provided music and every Af- | ter passing the foot of Howe Island the vessel went through the Admir- alty group, turned into the Amieri- can channel and sailed up the river to Cape Vincent, reaching that port at 5.30 p.m. Here half an hour was given to the passengers who "desir- ed to §o ashore and all availed them- selves of the opportuni After returning to th steamer, parties of picnickers were made up and luncheon was served. Many had provided their own but everything needful was obtainable on the boat, including hot coffee. Leaving Cape Vincent, the Waubic sailed around the head of Wolfe Island and the pas- | Sengers obtained a view of the wide {expanse of Lake Ontario and a beau- The atmosphere was most exhilarating for there was a | good breeze from the southwest. To {those who never made the trip be- | fore it was a delightful experience. { Captain Robert Carnegie, of the | Faubie, is very popular with the | travelling public, and he has provid- | ed splendid accommodation for tour- | 1st traffic between Kingston and Cape Vincent for persons with all kinds of automobiles which he carries to land, from Kingston on every trip. | There were several cars on board | Sunday afternoon as Cape Vincent erican tourists who desire to reach the Kingston highway running to Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, ka, the great summer park of Can- ada, or to the Rideau lakes situated within a few hours" ride of Kingston and where fine fishing places abound. Rideau fishermen report that the commercial value of fish thken last year was the highest in the history of the Rideau, which goes to show that the policy adopted by the Bov- ernment several years ago has been most beneficial and the tourist is as- sured of a fine summer's sport. With a steamer so suitable for heavy tourist trafic and the alure- ments of climate, good highways and outdoor sport, Kingston offers ex- ceptional advantages, especially to thousands of Americans who come north during the summer months in pursuit of healthful diversions. The Waaubic is the important link that affords access to the beautiful Bay of Quinte and The Thousand Islands and to the very heart of nature as found in the inland lake and river region north of Kingston. APPLE BLOSSOM DAYS Apple-blossom days are here, apple- blossom days, All the woods are misted grey, through the smoke-sweet haze, Willows bending by the brook, birch- es on the hill, And catkined alders blowing where the blackbirds trill. All the little ribboned roads are roof- ed with pearl and rose, Puffs of petal-sweetness drift where the warm wind blows; Gray boughs brooding overhead, sun- gold stealing through, And apple-blossoms sleeping on the soft spring blue. Apple-blossom days are here, glad and piercing sweet, All 'the world is gypsy-heart fared on wistful feet, Every road's a golden trail, with bloom and fern, And love has set his camp-fire by the far green turn. ~--Martha H. Clark. ---------- A little pet dog, owned by John Lytle, Main street, was poisoned on Saturday. There appears to be an epidemic of animal poisoning this spring. Nervous Breakdown COULDN'T SLEEP NIGHTS To those on the verge of a nervous breakdown 'the following symptoms present themselves; nervous head- aches, a feeling of depression, fitful, disturbed, restless and unrefreshing sleep, often troubled with frightful dreams, avoidance of crowded places, dread of being alone, horror of so- ciety, etc. . When the nerves become affected in this way the heart generally be- comes affected too, and on the first signs of any weakness of the heart sweet He 8 oh is a most convenient point for Am- | : How Basil King { Became a Writer § During one week last. November, the public of a number of Canada's large cities 'was treated to an en- tirely new interest in her writers. | "Canadian Authors' Week' 'was the magic few days when people who had read and loved books could at last meet in person their authors, discuss anything they chose with them in bookshop, lecture hall or drawing room, and carry away autographed trophies for the treasure bookshelf. Perhaps the most outstanding figure among the big Canadian masters of the pen was the presence from across the border of that world-famous writer of fiction and inspirational works, Mr. Basil King. Basil King was born "on an island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence," as the American papers have it, or, as we know it, Charlottetown, P.E.I. Basil King is a cosmopolitan, however, as most writers are wont to be, and he is Planning to spend a winter in Rome, if conditions permit. His permanent | place of residence is an historic place | in the United States--for he occupies { the famous old one-time home of | William Dean Howells, the "dean of American letters," at Cambridge, | Massachusetts. The circumstances by which Mr. King became an author are related by him as follows: "I am sometimes asked how I 'broke into print.' I never broke in; I fell in. Early in the nineteen hun- | dreds, at a time when I thought all | yearning for authorship dead, an idea) came to me, while on a train, which | I thought might make a good short | story. Falling before the temptation, | 1 began writing the story that night, | finishing it two or three days later. On sending it to the 'Atlantic,' I was amazed to find it accepted and paid for at once, and published within a few months. A writing career was | further precipitated by the fact of 'partially losing my sight. On the day when I realized my eyes were 'going' I bought a typewriter. If the worst came to the worst I knew I could manage to work it as a blind man | plays a plano. The worst didn't come | { to the worst, though it came to pretty | | bad. During years of living as a semi- | Musko- invalid, the House of Imagination | proved a refuge from all troubles." From the first his inspirational trend of mind has colored his work, and hand in hand with his great Dleces of fiction have come those truly triumphant books and articles of his on the life of the spirit, its ways to accomplishment, strength and con- quest. "The Street Called Straight," "The City of Comrades," "The Abol- ishing of Death," "The Thread of Flame," and his last great novel, "The Empty Sack," are those of his works which have brought him the greatest fame. That the trend of his writing, differing as it does from the usual path of successful fiction, had a remarkable popular appeal is de- monstrated by the phenomenal suc- cess which his stories have received when dramatized for the motion pic- tures. His best work has been used for the screen, and his name upon any scenario practically ensures its enthusiastic reception by exhibitors as well as the public. As someone said, "As long as people are as inter- ested in the writers of films as the actors, there is no danger of the movies becoming undesirable." The showing of Basil King's pictures in Canada last year proved that there Was no danger of einema-deteriora- tion here, at any rate. The popular- ity of "Earthbound" will not soon be forgotten. But Basil King himself Says, as someone told him when he first undertook writing as a serious | thing, that like Jacob, he must serve | Seven years for his master, and seven | years for Rachel, or success, and only | now is he enjoying the fruits of his | labor In the company of his bride-- recognition. During 'a gathering of friends in the bookworld a young woman, who had recently recovered from a ser- ious illness, spoke words that indi- cate the influence of the author. "Mr. King, I personally owe you a great debt," she said drawing her chair toward his. 'You have saved my life twice. Once when I had lost my father, a few years ago--and Just a month ago, when I faced death myself. The first time, I read your articles on 'The Abolishing of Death' when they were running in magagine form, and they practically gave me the courage to go on when I had thought to go under completely. The second time, during my illness, I was given a copy of your last novel, 'The Empty Sack' and the quotation you made a theme of in the book, car- ried me through my worst hours not only of suffering but actual fear, and, I think, saved me from that worst enemy of an ill person, self pity. The Quotation I mean is the one remem- bered from.the Bible by Bob when he lay wounded in hospital, 'Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.' Basil King's interest in 'people for themselves, as well as his work rs a humanitarian agd student sf life in | every aspect, o taken hiu to the particularly visits ceptionally well-bred and educated Persons, but Mr. King admits that to speak, as he is often called upon to do, in the general assembly there, is terrific. The constant associstion with each other, he is convinced, is the most thorough punishment the crim- inals confined in prison suffer.
