Here let me record how pleasant it
is to travel about in the country dis
tricts In Cornwall. Few of the people
you meet cross your path without
passing the time of day. If you ask
the way you are invariably answered
civflly. You are not told to go straight
on and then ask again. No, you are
directed with great minuteness of de-
tail as to the proper course you should
take. AS likely as not, so have found
1t, your casually picked up friend will
say after an elaborate explanation of
the right way that you will never find
1t alone and set off with you to the
point you wish to gain.-London Anti

Figures On Drink Question.

Speaking before the Church Of Eng
land Temperance society recently the
bishop Of London said that, as the re-
suit of an inquiry regarding the drink
evil, Is doctors stated that in the
middle class there was a decrease of
drinking. So in fashionable practice
spoke of the increase among the we'll
TODD, and SO of the increase among
working women. At the request Of the
home Office % London public houses
were watched for four days, and &c.
$40 women, with 10,471 children, en-
tered. The chief cause, said the
bishop, OF drinking among the well-to-
do was want of occupation; among the
poorer classes it was overwork and
overworry.

REASON FOR THIS SLANG TERM.
Medical Men Say One Really Sees
Blue When Painting.

The use of the word blue" to de-
note melancholy or terror, as in the
phrases to feel blue" blue devils"
a blue funk" and so on, is not en-
tirely igurative, If we are to credit a
recent medical writer.
The class of phenomena that in
cludes fainting, vertigo, neusea, etc, is
controlled by certain brain centers
that also bring about a sort of cramp
OF the external muscles of the eve.
The resulting compression of the or
gan causes objects to look gray or
blush, and ultimately produces ap-
parent darkness
The use of the word, having a physi-
illogical basis, is common to many
languages. The French say, for in
stance, Il see blue" A writer saws
that the French word eblouissement
(giddiness) should be spelled ebleuis-
sement, and has the same origin.

Puzzle fer Cupid.

A young man named Jamie had been
calling quite often where there we're
two sisters of nearly the same age.
1t was sort of joke to the girls as to
which was the attraction, as he invari-
ably asked for both and divided his at
tention impartially. One evening
when he called only one of the girls
was at home-by arangement-but. as
usual, he asked her to sing, as they
were all fond of music. In a spirit of
mischief she sang. Take Me. jamie.
Dear" which left him rather breath
less, but smiling. A little later the
other sister came in, bright and be-
witching, and upon being requested to
sing she sat down at the piano will
ingly and sang, IF Jamie Asks Me to
Marry Him What Shall Say?"-

SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON
Thoughtful Wife Had Provided Hus-

He stood irresolutely in front Of the

minutes. then with a determined ex-
preston on his face he elbowed his
way between two women shoppers and
accosted the saleslady.

wants me to get two pair of light blue
silk stockings for her"
"Oh. what size?" asked the girl,
with foolish smile.

growing nervous. Don't they all come
about the same size? You see, she
told me the size, but I can't recall it"
"Oh, no; they run in half sizes,

"She gave me this In case forgot"

The extent of the internal injuries
which undoubtedly caused death can

"A. H. Heron, during his younger
days, was one of the well known
newspaper men in the state, having
founded the st. Johns Republican
during the early sixties, where he
made his home for many years, sell
ing his property to H. S. Hilton. Go
ing from that village to Detroit, he
became associated by James E.
Scripps in the circulation department
OF the Evening News. Scripps was
just launching the News at this time
and he was looking for a circulation
solicitor. Heron took up the work
and at the time of his death was one
Of the few early employees OF the
News who was still alive. Leaving
the News he owned at different times
several Michigan papers. After
wards he attached himself to the
Houghton Mining Gazette, where he
had charge of the circulation de-
partment. During 1902, Mr.. Her
ron was engaged by the publisher
Of the Press Gazette of this city to
become manager of circulation. His
long and faithful service continued
until three years ago when he leased
the Gagetown Times, having charge
Of the paper for two years. Nearly
all of the work of the Office devolving
upon his shoulders and because of
his age, he relinquished control of
the paper and returned to Pontiac.
Lately he had been communicated
with by the Flint Journal and was
Thought to be considering a PROPOSE
ton to go there. He was a gentle
man of high integrity and during his
long association with Pontiac people
was known as man of the best stand
ing. A consistent member Of the
NJ. E. church he was devoted in his
attendance and stood high in church
circles. He leaves a wife who re-
sides at, the home, corner of Gagley
and Wessen streets. During the
past few months Mr.. Heron has
been engaged in the insurance bust
ness.
Mr.. Heron was a familiar figure
upon the streets Of Pontiac and
throughout the county, where he
made the rural routes and small vii
lagos in his campaign for circulation.
While a man of rs years of age and
with a long, flowing beard he was
known for his energy and hustling
ability. Before many Of the pres
ent generation were up in the morn

gone far into the coutry in his tours

pert, in an article called THE fine
Points of the Game, appearing in the
May American Magazine. He says:
s"Do you remember the now famous
game between the New York and Chi
cago teams last fall when the season
ended with the teams tied, and they
played off one game at the Polo Grounds
to decide the championship Of the
National Lacquer Wholost that gamer
1t was 'Cy' Seymour, but perhaps not q
dozen of of'the $4,000 persons who wit
messed the struggle know he did. New
York had the game won until the
third inning in which Tinker was Chi
cago's first batter. During the entire
season Tinker had been hitting Math-
ewson hard, and the psychologist effect
OF past performances has much to do
with pitching and batting. Mathew.
son feared Tinker, and he signaled Sey-
mour to play deep in center field. He
was afraid that long drive by Tinker
might turn the tide of the battle. Sey-
mour saw the signal but disregarded it,
having an idea that Tinker would hit a
low line fly, so he crept few steps
closer to the infield, instead of moving
back. Matty dropped his famous fade
away over the plate, and Tinker drove
long, high, line fly to left center.
Seymour made a desperate effort to
reach the ball, but fell few feet short,
and the ball rolled to the crowd in the
outtield for d three-base hit and started
rally that gave Chicago the victory.
If Seymour had played deep field as
he was commanded to do, the proba-
bilities are that New York would have
won the pennant."

a n. Heron Killed by Train a
Pontiac.

While attempting to cross the Grand
Trunk track at Pontiac. Wednesday
afternoon, A. H. Heron was struck by
a train and so badly injured that he
died within few minutes. Mr.. Her.
ron was we'll known to most of the
citizens of Owosso, having been circula.
ton manager on both the Press Anieri
can and Argus, and for a time did local
work for THE TINES. He was one OF
the oldest newspaper men in the state,
man of far more than ordinary abil
ity, good friend and man whose en-
tire life was above reproach. Mr.. Her.
ron was related by marriage to M. L.
Parker of this city, who with Mrs.
Parker will attend the funeral. The
Pontiac Press Gazette gives the details
Of his tragic death as follows:
a. II. Heron, aged &c years, met
death by being struck by the east
bound Grand Trunk train due i'll
Pontiac at 1921 O'Clock this after
noon. Mr. Heron was crossing the
track on Johnson avenue and pre-
sumably did not see the train until
it was almost upon him. He
was struck and thrown several feet
receiving a severe cash in the head
and injuries on his body, which were
serious enough to cause death 20
minutes later. He never regained
consciousness
The trainmen say that they whis-
tied for the crossing, but Mr.. Her
ron apparently did not pay any heed
to the warning, and continued across
the track. When the engine was al
! most upon him, he turned and saw
his peril, but it was too late, and the
next instant he was struck. He APP
peared bewildered, it is stated.
The train was stopped and the un-
conscious man carried to the Grand
Trunk depot, where the Kelly & Da-
Wis ambulance was summoned. He
died before the ambulance arrived,
and the body was removed to the
Kelly e Davis undertaking rooms.
Mr.. Heron lived alone with his
