 Mr. Ja,nes Coats, who has just dies was n1nnf Of considerable benevo lehce. and humor. Before the days of the old age pensions he arranged to give various elderly inhabitants of his natlve town. Paisley. ten shillings week each,

 But the truth is. as you can test for yourself by catching and examin- ing the thistle down as it passes on cred of the little shining sossaner aIrShins carries Sny cargo.
