Gertrude Rennyson Leaves Flushing
1t all happened this way-Gertrude
Rennyson, our American soprano,
tells of her trying to smuggle her dog
Bepo into England.
She was finishing her season in
Dresden and was to appear at the
royal opera, Covent Garden, London
Knowing of the very severe law
against CANNES she resolved to carry
her velvet coat, place her little white
pom in one of the sleeves and boldly
walked on the boat at Flushing, the
only danger line as she thought. She
was not alone, her mother was with
her. Annoyance was hers when she
saw her mother beating 1t" (the ex-
preston must be excused here as 1t
is the only one that thoroughly con-
veys the point over the gang plank
and into the boat
The dog was heavy and to keep up
with her mother seemed impossible,
imagine however the dismay (although
the danger line as she thought was
passed) when upon reaching her
mothers side she turned and said in
low hoarse voice your dogs tail is
hanging out" However, after recov-
ering from the shock and realizing
that the lovely white tail had not been
seen by his maiesties officials, she
hustled on to secure her steamer
chair. for unfortunately the sea and
Miss Rennyson are not good friends.
Seated and unhappy over the painting
of her pet she decided to give him
air. The boat was gradually leaving
its mornings, the dog enjoying its
freedom from the coatsleeve when a
big burly Dutchman appeared and
with tone lacking nothing in reson-
ance and carrying power, although it
must be admitted, utterly devoid of
sweetness or charity, said: Madam.
your dog will not be landed !" And
back by return boat went the prettiest
little white Pomeranian with only the
word Bepo engraved on his collar.

Russell AyIen Dead.

After serious illness of only few
days Mr. Russell Aylen peacefully "cross-
ed the bar" shortly before midnight
Sunday evening. He had been suffer.
er from asthma for several years but a
hard cold which terminated with con-
gestion of the ungs was the immediate
cause of his death. MIR. Aylen was born
in Brighton Essex, England, on January
18th, 1916, and came to this country
forty years ago, and has made his home
in Pembina for over thirty years
In his business career as administrat-
or of justice he was known to be honest
in his convictions of right and duty and
WAS universally respected. In the death
of Mr.. Aylen his wife has lost loved
companion. his children fond father
and the community manly man, whose
influence was always for the right and
who endeavored to follow in the foot
steps of the Master. Mr. Aylen was
devout churchman and his pew was
never vacant at the services in the little
church which he lab0red so hard to help
organize years ago.
A good man has gone ''weary, content
and undiscovered" of an extremely kind
and sensitive nature he was never known
to speak the unkind word about any one
and slow to believe i'll of his fellowmen.
His upright life is worthy of emulation.
The sincerest sympathies of many friends
are rendered to the bereaved family in
this the greatest sorrow uf their lives.
The funeral services were held in Grace
Episcopal church by Rev. j. E. Kim ber-
ley of st Vincent. The hymns which
Mr.. A! len loved so we'll were sung and
the beautiful ritualistic ceremony of the
church was read which says "whosocver
liveth and beieveth in Hin shall not
die eternally."
| Mr.. AyIen lea> es the widow and four
children, w. r. Aylen of Chicago. Mrs.
&. w. Fairbairn of Winnipeg, Charles
and Mabel. who were all present at the
funeral except Mrs. Fairbairn who is
recovering from recent illness. Other
near relatives are two sisters and a
brother living in England.
The floral offerings were the beautiful
testimony of the love and es.eem in
which he was held. The bearers were
chosen from among the older friends of
the family.
