Cullen's | Year and Save THREE EXPLORERS ON TRIPS T0 THE SOUTH POLE T. Fr Mcleod, Caretaker of a ine Near Kingston, Served Under Scott, Sha= ckieton and Wild. -- Toronto Telegram. T. F. McLeod looks south. His heat is in the latitude above the 70's, As "the hart panteth after the water- brook," so does the mind and heart of MtLeod yearn for the roar of the creeping ice-pack, the blowing of the killer whale, the thud of sub- Antarctic waters on the sides of .great bergs, and the tonic of the icy spin-drift in: the great frozen south. At sea since he was fourtéen, with Oaptain Scott in his South Pole trip on the "Terra Nova," with Shackleton in his mamorable 1914- 1916 voyage, and again with Shack- leton in his post-war journey, Me- Leod has it in his blood and can't get It out. At 51 years of age, the best he can find to do for the moment is to act as caretaker for a silica sand mine, near Kingston. He possesses little beyond his experiences. The ruthless south snatched all kis papers and 'mementos from him. But, care- fully stored in a cloudy handker- chief, are three medals, prized not only for what they represent, but KZloated over also as talismans that bind him to the south. A few years since the King pinned the last medal on the A. B. Uniform of McLeod, at Buckingham Palace, so confus- Ing this burly Scotch able seaman that he forgot his piece, walked boldly frontwards from the pres- ence, but got out safely, He was with Captain Scott when from ships. He was with Sir Ernest Shackleton when Shackleton ex- pired in his berth on the "Quest," headed south. He built the cairn on a headland of Cumberland Bay, Island of South Georgia, Britain's farthest post south, that indicates Shackleton's resting place. He has gone through the white warfare of the south with Scott, Bhackleton and Commander Wild, and he loves and reveres the memory of each of them. He wonders where Wild is now, and how he can get In touch with him. A Simple Sailor. McLeod is simplicity itself. Not two people in or about Kingston know he was one of the hardy self- carried the flag into new continents. He has no sailor tricks. He does not hitch his trousers, spit at the stove, and launch into picturesque narrative brimful of wonders. He looks at visi- tor solemnly, tamps the tobacco down in his with a right hand mangled by the 'and gets along slowly Ana' haltingly. © The sou has simplified and humbled him: . | Later on, if the weather about King: ston gets cold, he will take to mitts. So far, he has not needed them. He chose the last 26 below zero day there, to go out for a long stroll. The winter he rather likes, because on some days there is cold that can be felt. On the whole, however, it is too balmy for him. It is intimated in his narrative that hunger, cold and death compose together no fear for the man obsessed with the south. Mcleod would go back 'to- morrow if he could. He was born at Stornoway, Island of Lewis, In the outer Hebrides, north of Scotland, and he calls him- self a Highlander. At fourteem he shipped to sea. He has béen all over the world in many ships, whal- ing 'in Greenland amongst the rest. When he heard that Captain Scott was preparing a second Antarctic expedition, he volunteered by letter, when he was in New Zealand. He was accepted, owing to his strong "letters," or recommendations, and he joined Scott on the "Terra Nova," and made his first trip south with | that fated commander. Scott would have been south pole, the discover of the had not Amundsen, in "| hii sledge dash, beaten out Scott, to the pole, by a matter of days.

TRAIN CHANGES Early Evening Train From To- ronto Wiil Reach Kings- ton About 8 O'clock. National railway intima®es that it gave the matter very careful consideration before making the changes in the rail way service, affecting Kingston, as out- lined in the Whig on Saturday. The company -wishes to give the best ser- vice, but at the same time is keeping in mind the saving of as much money as possible. y i ,For many years the Bay of Quinte] line and. later the Canadian National had an agreement with the Canadian Pacific Railway company which allow: ed certain trains to run over she C.P.R. line from Harrowsmith to Kiggston. It is claimed that C.N.R. has felt for some time that a considerable sum of money could be saved annually if their trains did not ruf over the CP.R.' from Harrowsmith to Kingston. With this ill mind, seme years ago the Kingston-Tweed train which came 10 Kingston by way of Harrowsmith, was roitted by way of Napanee. This change meant that the people living at News| burgh, Camden East, Napanee and] points on the C.N.R. line between Na- | panee and Kingston were ablé to come to Kingston on a morning train. Due | to this change, it is claimed that the company was able to get increased bu- siness. The Taveed train used to leave Kingston at 5.30 p.m. and people living along thgline were able to get the city edition of the Kingston papers that evening. According to the new arrangement, which went into effect on Sunday, January 8rd, the Kingston-Tweed | train will leave the Kingston city sta- tion at 2.45 p.m. and the outer station at 3.00 p.m. When the change was first consider- ed, it was seen that the time table of Ottawa City train would have to be changed, if people from Kingston were to go and come from Ottawa by the Canadian National. With this in view, it was decided that the Ottawa train which formerly left Toronto about 12.00 p.m. and met the local train from Ottawa at Harrowsmith about 4.15 p.m. would have to be changed. The Ottawa train which is known as No. 6 will now leave Toronto at 1.30 p.m. and will meet the train from Ottawa known as No. § at Napanee about 5.00 p.m. Instead of the Kingston-Tweed train carrying the mail from Kingston at 245 p.m, it has been arranged that the afternoon mail train No. 9, which lea- ves the Kingston inner station at 3.40 p.m. and the outer statiofi' at 3.55 p.m, will carry all the mail as far as Nap- anee, The mail will be transferred to No. 6 from Toronto and carried as far as Yarker, where the Kingston-Tweed train is scheduled to wait for one hour and ten minutes, and take the Tweed ail. It 4 De Possible = 2 Snir: i et ihe hes pots along that line to take the 3.40 p.m. as far as Napanee, transfer to No. 6 at Napanee and then board the Kingston- Tweed train at Yarker. Under this ar- rangement, it will mean that the stop over in Kingston for people who come to do their shopping will be only one hour and forty minutes less than form- erly. Passengers from Ottawa for King- ston will transfer at Napanee to train No. 28 from Toronto, which will be due at the Kingston C.N.R. outer sta- tion at 5.58 p.m,, twenty-eight minutes {later than formerly. So as to make this connection, it has been necessary to change the running time of train No. 28 which left Toronto about 2.00 p.m. and reached the outer station at 710 pm. It will be seen that this train will reach Kingston one hour and twelve minutes earlier. It is claimed that the. C.N.R. will make a great saving, as the Kingston- Tweed train, which was formerly used to carry the passengers from Kingston to Harrowsmith at 10.30 to make To- ronto and Ottawa connections will fot be used. This train upon arrival from Tweed will remain at the round house | The management. of the Canadian | % - "Contin rep, uing Our Big . Inauguration Sale Tuesday NEW. OILCLOTHS AND.

OBITUARY . Late Mrs, William Anderson. It was with regret that many citizens learned that Mrs. Isabella Nesbitt, wife of William Anderson, of the firm of Anderson Bros., Limit- ed, had pasted to rest on Sunday morning at eleven o'clock. The de- ceased was taken ill on Tuesday last with a paralytic stroke, but she was conscious until Friday, when an- other stroke followed, and she slept away. The late Mrs. Anderson will be greatly missed by the large cirele of friends which she made during the forty vears of her residence in Kingston. She was always thinking of some good that she might do for some person less fortunate .than herself of for people on their sick beds. Her acts of kindness were in- numerable. It wae not only at the Christmas season that she demon- strated her spirit of good will, but she was ever mindful of others. One of her last acts was to leave in- structions for the carrying outi of 'certain plans which she herself had been unable to carry out to 'a suc- cessful termination. Her sympathies were wide, her charities dispensed without ostentation and her help- fulness in a score of ways, will be fomembered by those who felt her gracious goodness. Beloved, and es- teemod by a wide circle of friends her memory will abide for her sweet- ness of life and her abounding re- gard on all who suffered. Truly she displayed in her life €hristian vir- tues and womanly graces. As a business woman, Mrs. Anderson had few p.m. 'the late M Last summer the deceased and her |} husband paid a visit to the home- land.
