Their Perfection Is a Source of Delight to
American Tourists.
As one good road in community is an
incentive for the people to build others.
SO the good roads of one country inspire

A SHINING EXAMPLE of what
may be accomplished by never vary
ing devotion TO single purpose is
seen in the history of the Mccormick

For 65 years they have simply been
building grain and grass-cutting ma
chinery, and while there are probably
forty manufacturers in this line, il is
safe TO say that the Mccormick
Company builds one-third of all
the binders, reapers and mowers used

was begun, in 1920. there was no

tower strained the strength of the orig

Burns In DunfrieS.

About ten years ago / met in
Dumfries a venerable lady who told
me that her mother had vivid recol-
lectiOns of Burns. AS a child she
frequently saw him in the evenings
at her fathers fireside and heard
him entertaining the social circle
with fluent and merry talk. There
invariably came stage in the pro-
ceedings at which the matron of the
household sent the youthful men,

praise of Burns had gone too far

The Coroner's Inuucst

Under some circumstances, and
especially if the medical man in
charge is one Of high standing and
repute, the coroner's jury brings in
a verdict strictly in accordance with
the result of the doctors examina-
ton.
This has been commented on, and
some surprise has been expressed
that II men should be called from
their business and put to more or
less trouble and annoyance, when
the doctors certificate might, and
usually does, answer all purposes.
1t has been suggested that repu-
table physician should be attached
to the coroner's office, and that
every death about which there was
the slightest suspicion should be
carefully inquired into. The knowl-
edge that the most rigid scrutiny
would be exercised in cases where
the death was not clearly traceable
TO well understood causes might act
as q restraining influence among the
ignorant and depraved where infant
mortality and the taking off of the
sick and infirm might seem to be an
advantage to the survivors.
The coroner's jury business is not
very well managed, and it has more
than once been suggested that a
radical change in the administration
of this Office ought to be made

We came here in 1890 and started an
upholstering establishment. The doors
were not open one hour when we had
four customers, which we thought was
a good opening. On Oct. 26, 1890 we
burned out and right after rented what
was called the old Ammon d Scott
store building, and in addition started
a furniture store which at the time
competitors predicted would only last
at the longest six months. AS business
was increasing we added a small wood
en- building on the side, which was
used for shop and carpet cleaning.
