HOMER-WAR- .61, Toronto. 3 r-e Approaching a good-natured father one time, he volunteered to get his grown son a good position with the Borden Government “without charge” Delighted at the prospect the parent advanced the doctor’s train fare to interview one of the Mimsters. Upon his return to KingSton each time he reported progress but found it necess- 317 to make another visitâ€"at the father’s expense, of course. Becoming suspicious after several monthS, the victim of these free excursions called at Dr. Evan’s house. A few months later the doctor had in an appearance About a year ago he became instruâ€" mental in foundin a. Society of Welsh men in Canada. No soon-er had he been appointed to an office than he Commenced negotiations with a well- known British politician to "found a. Next he took to lecturing. In the year of the Russo-Japanese war he advertised a lecture in Massey Hall, Q Toronto with complete views of Port “Arthur the beleagured city. A large :crowd gathered. When the lecture was due to start the doctor announced that e ectricians had deserted him, thus obliging him to operate the ma- chine from the gallery and deliver the lecture at the same time This ecOnom ical arrangement he proceeded to carry out, At that time, views of Port Arthur were exceedingly rare; in fact some agencies would have paid for them with their weight in gold. Knowing that some “bluff” would have to be gone through to justify the name of a “lecture on the war" the crafty doctor preSented views of a ship leaving Montreal, the arrival at Liverpool, scenes at Bel- fast, a, day in old Ireland, His Maj- esty at Balmoral, and so forth, through a, list of views that one might possibly witness “on the way to” the scenes of conflict. An hour passed and the congregation was only nearing the Suez Canal. When the evening was just about over, the lect urer dropped anchor in a Japanese harbour and announced in a round- about way that it was from that point that all photographsers mre , blocked in their efforts to take the photographs. He then made away ‘ with the receipts of the evening. , Another time he was discovered . aboard a special private train on which the 14th regiment of Kingston ‘ was travelling to the Quebec Tercent . enary Officers ordered him to leave 1 and though he turned out his pockets : and swore he had no money he was ‘ deposited at a flag station many : miles from any- centre of population.

With rage turned to pity, the visitor help- ed put the doctor to bed, and begged his pardon for causing him such phy sical debility. but at sight of his visitor threw up his hands and cried, “That weak spell again!" and fell to the floor in it leaped a couple of cascades and to, bagganed down a precipice. Instantly the yacht propaganda fell through. Did Dr. Evans disappear? Not he, That was not the programs of the typical morphine fiend. Those, who like the writer, have known Dr. Ev ans with some intimacy, are willing ito assert that at no stage of his . phiiandering career has he been more than partially aware of the illegal E and immoral nature of his acts. Rath Eer than bother himself with running !away', he remained on the ground to I persuade his victims of his innocence. )This he did vehemently, and to such igood effect that he lived five or six i years in the city of such a monstrous :deception, nor did heâ€"or anybody 3' elseâ€"ever volunteer to clear up the f mystery of the funds collected for the 3 Jordan yaéht. éLEC’I‘L’RED IN MASSEY HALL. stereopticon views.

We’re still doing it, and we have the lowest debenture rate of any city in Ontario. There are but a few isolated inc‘i- dents from a life packed full of schem ing. Much of it has been harmleSS; a little of 'it may even have brought benefit to some fellow mortals. At no stage did Evans show the faintest desire to guihe himself by every-day standards of straight dealing. The insidious course of the drug prompt, ed him on all occasions to take the longest line between two given points provided that long line was irregular and promised him adventure and per- 'il. It is quite likely that in a years’ time he made less money than the average skilled workman; although he put more mental ingenuity and inventiveness into his deeds than would earn him a large fortune if applied to real eState or laws. Oot, wardly (and likely by his earlier nat- ure) he was a scholarly and prepos sessing character, with an amazing general knowledge and a lucid way of giving it expression Morphine had so warped his understanding, however, that he played his Jeky and Hyde game quite unaware toward the end that he played his Jekyl and Hyde of difference.

Steel, of Glenarm. A very large crowd attended the funeral. Inter- ment took place at Glenarm cemetâ€" ery. The pallbearers were Messrs Dan Spence, Charlie Elford, Thomas Our- rins, Andrew Green, Neil Murchison and J. McPhail. Deceased was the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Christian, and the deepest sympathy of the entire community is extended to her sorrowing parents, brothers and sis- ters, also to the bereaved husband, in their hour of sad bereavement. MRS. ROBT. HARGP;AVE Islay, Dec. Zâ€"A gloom was cast over our neighborhood when it was known that Mrs. Robt. Hargrave, better known as Bertie Christian, had departed this life at an early hour on Tuesday morning, 26th inst., at her home about four miles north of Glenarm, not. at her parental home as was first reported. Deceased had not enjoyed good health all summer, but during the past two or three weeks was greatly improved in health, and on Wednesday previous to her death, had driven to Lindsay with her husband. On Sunday she was not feeling as well as usual and on Monday became very in. Medical aic‘. was immediately summoned, but (Special to The Post.) Our first taste of winter has come and gone, and we are getting a. lit- tle more wet weather. Mrs. Doherty was another Lind- say visitor on Saturday. no hope was held out of saving her life, everything possible was done to alleviate her intense sufiering till death occurred at about four o’clock Tuesday morning. Just about five months have elapsed since she was made a. bride. She was not quite twenty years of age, and was well and favorably known, and the news of her sudden death came as a great shock to her many friends. The funeral will take place Thursâ€" day morning at 8.45 from the resi- dence of Mr. Michael Fox, Lindsay- st., to St. Mary’s church and'thence to the Roman Catholic cemetery. . The late Mr. Duke was a faithful adherent of the Roman Catholic church. The remains will arrive in Lindsay tomorrow morning, Wednes- day, December 4th on the 11 a. m. train, and interment will take place in the Roman Catholic cemetery. For many years the late Mr. Duke resided in Lindsay where he conductâ€" ed a prosperous market gardening and truck farming business. In poli- tics he was a staunch Liberal and was a hard and enthusiastic worker for his party. He was a veteran of the American War, having served with the Northern forces in the struggle, and enjoyed a pension from the United States government. Of. late years he has been] in the habit of spending the Winter with relatives in Syracuse, N. Y., where death overâ€" took him Monday, Dec. 2nd. Mrs. Duke predeceased him some years ago. Three children survive him, his daughters. Mrs. Rosey, Mer- I‘iton, Ont., Mrs. Harry O’Neill, To- ronto, and his son, Mr. John Duke, of Syracuse. His sister, Mrs. O’Keefe of Byron, N. Y., and brother, Thos. Duke, of Nebraska, also survive him. Mr. Gordon Mark, traveller for a JOHN DUKE The death took place at Syracuse, N.

KINMOUNT ' OBITUARY As anyone who has been in the gro- cery trade in this country knows, there are many staple lines of gro- ceries that no one except a legiti- mate retailer can purchase, and they must be 'bought from legitimate wholesale grocers at prices set- by the manufacturer. These include certain well known brands of sugar, cereals, starch, syrups, canned goods, soaps, etc. Co-operative stores cannot buy such goods any cheaper, and how they can sell them much cheaper than retailers is a difficult question to an- swer, if any kind of service is to be rendered. ' In Great Britain and Germany the success of these enterprises has been largely due to national habits of thrift and density of population, alâ€" so that in Scotland and England they are under the class of friendly societies, and do not pay taxes. A Scottish or a German housewife, it is said, will walk some distance to make a small purchase at the coâ€"opâ€" erative store, if it saved her a pen- ny. She is prepared to put up with inconveniences in complying with the regulations of the society. But the The cry that brings in the share- holder is, of course “the high cost of living.” This is alleged to be largely due to excessive profits charged by the retailer. At the very beginning, therefore, coâ€"operative stores are un- der a serious handicap because of this belief. In two or three cities and towns in Ontario there are efiorts at work at the present time to establish co-op- erative stores. These, as has been fre- quently explained in the past, are merely joint stock companies, with an overabundance of small share- holders, usually an unwieldy number, if we are to judge from the success and failures experienced in this ccun- try already. HANDICAP 0F CO-OPERATIVE STORE Mr. Archie ngrk, accompanied by his friend, Mr. Field, of Woodstock, is spending a few days at Dr. White’s. Mr. Bob Boldt is moving into the Baptist parsonage. Miss Bertha Beech, now teacher at Union Cregk,_ Galway, has been se- cured to succeed Miss O'Brien. The ladies of the Home Mission of the Presbyterian church here intend holding a bazaar on the 14th inst. Miss Florence O’Brien, of the pu‘or lic school stafi, has resigned, she having secured a situation on the stafi of the. separate school at Port Arthur. Mr. John Kennedy and daughter Gathel returned last week from the west. Toronto firm, spent the week end with his parents. Mrs. Chas. Coben, who went out west to Sask. about three months ago, returned tonight, accompanied by her two sons, Willie and Alex. fifi It Kay 58% 9g is Not a Sale %% 0 18 Th (2%”?

Nothing has been heard from Mr. Douros since his departure, although it was his intention to cable his friends on his arrival in Greece.
