He was only sick a few days, having taken his usual trip to Wrox- eter with the mail the Saturday be fore. He seemed to be getting along well. up till nearly noon on Friday, when he took a turn for the worse and almosthefore his family realized it he had passed out from them to join the silent majority. He was 71 years of age and a quiet inofiensive man. He wasa Iaithful attendant at the services of the Methodist church. The funeral was conducted by the pastor Rev. Ousterhout. in- terment taking place in the Morris cemetery. The funeral was largely attended. He leaves four sons and three daughters to mourn his 1035.- Wroxeter Star.

A tall, well-built man, with dark hair, closely trimmed beard, calm, observant eyes. gentle, and with the ease and polish of a fine stock intensified by the culture that comes from travelâ€"“this is Sir Gilbert Parker, Canada’s great novelist. In l the famous city of Quebec he was born in 1862, the son of an otficer in the Royal ! Artillery and the descendant of many generations of fighting men. It seemed natural that he. too, should woo the cannon, but he had his eye on the cassock and was educated tor the church. He was ordained a deacon but his train of t’ntiught was switched ofi the clerical track when he began to lecture on English literature at Trinity College, Toronto. _ In 1886 he went to Australia for his health, and as one of the editors of the “Sydney Herald" had a roving commission to study the South Sea Islands and their people. In his three and a half years in Oceanica he broadened in mind and grew more sturdy in body; he wrote and lectured, became interested in the stage and with wide-open eyes saw life under new conditions. The literary harvest of this period was an adaptation of Goethe’s “Faust,” produced in Sydney. another play "The \ endetta,” and two books of travel. Then he went to England. and is real literary genius had its first outcroppings in his works of fiction. 1 His remarkable short stories “Pierre and his People,” opened up the literary l dark continent of the Hudson Bay country. They were fresh. crisp. vigorous 1 39d “file $3195; the field F88 new, the treatment masterly, the character drawing ; Vital. real and sympathetic, and the open-air atmosphere bracing and tingling as ‘ a cold-water plunge. .

A Sample of Treatment That Will be Given the “Blind Pig” Fraternity in Owen Sound. (Owen Sound Sun.) 5 John Elliott, accused of sellinzi liquor contrary to the regulations of! the local opticn by-law, was found? guilty at the police court yesterday! morning and a fine of $65 and costs, ‘ or one month in jail in default of pay-g ment, was imposed by Magistrate! Creasor. Elliott went to Meaford last Tuesday evening, however, and nothing has been heard of him since that time. Frank McLinden, for whose arrest a warrant was issued on Monday, was arrested in Meaford on the fol- lowing evening and brought to Owen ‘Sound. On Wednesday morning he appeared in the police court and was released on $200 bail. The case was resumed in the police court yesterday morning. Dobie. one of the young men invol- ved in the case, teetifled ththe had E faint I'BCOHGCLiODS of liquor oeing} sold. 00 Wednesday. May 9, he con- 3 tributed toward the cost of a keg of: beer which he conveyed in a wagon . from Schwan’ s brewery to the Ross. House stable McLinden had repaid?i him the money which he had contrib- uted toward purchasing the beer. T0 CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Mr. Wm. Schwan, of Schwan’s brewery. stated that Frank McLinden had been the only man to order beer at his establishment. He had pur- chased eight five-gallon kegs. Frank )chinden testified that he had borrowed money from Dobie to purchase the beer. However, he re- funded this borrowed amount with money given him by his brother. ElllOtL had gone with him to Mea- ford on Tuesday, but had said noth- ing concerning his destination. Witness had placed an old bag over the window in the stable in order to prevent the light from escaping. He was not handling the liquor on his own responsibility but was merely acting as Elliott’s agent. Magistrate Creasor held that Elli- ott, as owner of the premises on which the liquor was disposed of. was directly responsible for the sale of the liquor and imposed a fine of $65 and costs, amounting in all to $86.10, or one month in jail in default of payment. I Elliott was given a reasonable time ! in which to pay the fine and a war- ‘ rant will then beissued for his arrest and consequent imprisonment. No efiort will be made to locate Elliott but if he ever shows his countenance in Owen Sound after the expiration of the time given to pay the fine, he will likely “ Spend a month's visit with Governor Miller.” IUSpector Beckett is well pleased with the re- sult of the prosecution.
