Mr. Ormiston had been for a number of years a prosperous farmer at Beaverton, but some two years ago decided to leave there and hence purchased a farm in this sec- tion. where he intended to make a home for himself and family. Last winter he was taken with a severe attack of 1a grippe followed by pneu- monia, from which inediCal aid seem- ed unable to release him. Deceased although living in his new home here only since last spring proved himself a valuable neighbor and a true citiâ€" zen. The funeral service on the 17th was conducted by his former pastor lev. Wishart of Ileaverton assisted by the Rev. 1’ F. Sinclair of Sonya. In the course of the service much emphasis was laid on the thorough Christian qualities possessed by the deceased and whom to know was to appreciate as a citizen and a man. The remains were intered at Wick and were followed by a large number of deceased friends Annie Moore of Pei- at BIT. 1‘. and relatives who extended their sincere sympathy to the bereaved widow and her fam- ily of two sons and two daughters. -â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" LAND OF THE HUMMING-BIRD- â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€" Tho Surprising Phenomenon That Follow Digging in Trinidad’s Alphalt Lake. Few people who travel over as- phaltcd streets are aware of the ori- gin of the black, pitchy mass that goes to make up the basis of the, smooth roadway under their feet. Two thousand miles almost due south from Halifax lies the little tropical island of Trinidadâ€"a Brit- ish possession off the coast of north- ern South America. At the south- western extremity of this colony the famous Pitch Lake is located on the summit? of a. small hill, less than two hundred feet above the level of the sea. In appearance there is nothing phenomenal about this Wonder of the tropics but a. visit to the lake as it is familiarly called, reveals one of the most unaccountable oddities of nature in the annals of travel. The tourist may take passage 3’: the “land of the humming-bird‘flâ€"fl Trinidad people like their country to be called â€"- and after securing ao- commodation at the only decent ho- ' tel in the colony, proceed to the lake by one of the small Government steamers plying coastwise three times weekly, disembark at the Brighton pier, and proceed to the scene of “digging.” Of all the crude, ' rough and ready means of extracting wealth from mother earth, .the Trini- dad Lake asphalt. operations are the most striking. The visitor arrives on a fairly level plateau, spotted here and there with tiny pools of water, beneath which the soft shiny sub- stance known as asphalt glitters in the reflection of a fierce tropical sun. Scattered over the surface of the lake dozens of swarthy negroes are ply- ing pick and hoe, extracting the tarâ€" coaly looking stuff from the earth. One may sit in the shade of a near- by shrub, or under the protecting shelter of an umbrella, and watch the negroes pile heap after heap of the asphalt into the endless chain of a tubs that hurry along to the pier, iâ€" from which one has but recently landed, until a. yawning excavation of twenty or more feet suggests to S C 8. ,V' the the supervising darky that the time has come to move a bit further on. In the course of a. few hours the ex- cavation resulting from. the morn- ing’s diggings begins to look less deep, and by eventide the spot. from which more than five or ten tons have been dug is again IeVel with the surrounding earth and ready to be dug over by the gang of noisy blacks.

When a Fourth avenue car bound down town approached Eighteenth ntreet tho other morning a determined looking woman asked the conductor to stop tho car at the corner. He nodded and evidently forgot all about it. The car rolled put Eighteenth street with- out stopping. no woman arose and with an angry glance at the conductor begun ringing up fares. She evidently had tried that method of stopping a car before, for when the conductor gave tho motormon a. sharp signal to stop and tho car did stop abruptly she said triumphantly: “I thought that would rémind you.” , “But you have rung up five fares," said the conductor. ‘ “Then why didn't you stop at Eight- eenth street?” asked the woman. “It serves you Just right," and off she flounced.
