is seldom heard In this city, but gen
orally his speech is correct in syntaX
and orthoepy.

MARK OF ANIMAL AFFECTION
Dogs and Others Of the Lower crea-
lures Lick Mans Hand as Signal
OF SURRENDER.

When Mr. Garner spent so many
months living in his iron cage in the
jungles Of Africa, studying apes.
monkeys and gorilas, he discovered
that II a monkey licked the body Of
another monkey or of man, ii was a
signal OF surrender.
A traveller In South American woods
along the Amazon shot a monkey The
poor little beast was badly wounded
but not dead, when approached. In its
last agony IT licked the hand Of the
man who did the mortal injury. The
look and the act gave the traveller a
feeling OF sorrow and regret for his
deed.
With other animals the act of lick
ing indicates something akin to 81 am

So when a dog ticks the hand Of his
master, or attempts to lick his masters
face, II is his expression of fidelity, af-
lection and devotion.
The net doubtless harks back
through the ages of time when the dog.
wolf made the choice between man or
other dog-wolves and selected man as
his companion. Out of the dim past
there remains with the dog this in

and which is best and noblest in dog

The reason why the breast OF bird

seen. Young brown owls and other
birds Of prey, Mr. Robinson explains,

OBITUARY

George H. Jones died Aug. 2,
1922, of indigestion, at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. John Har-
riman, Kingston, Mich, where ne
and his wife had gone to spend
the day, living bat twenty-four
hours after the first attack
Deceased was born one mile
north and one mile west of Yale
(then called Brockway Centre) on
Oct. %, 1852. being 60 years, 9
months and 8 days old at the time
of death the same age his father
was when death claimed him.
The father, John D. Jones, was
a pioneer lumberman Of st. Clair
and Sanilac counties, and George
being associated with him in the
business from boyhood formed a
love for new country.
He was united in marriage to
NJ. Matilda Rath in 1878, and i'm
migrated to the northern part of
Sanilac county Evergreen town
ship in 1881, the spring preced-
ing the disastrous fire. Here he
resided until his death, never
having moved from the farm
on which he first settled. When
Mr.. Jones, one of the pioneers
first moved to Evergreen there
were only thirteen voters in the
township. There were no roads,
no store or post Office in the town
ship. He succeeded in getting a
mill, store and a post Office es-
tablished at Shabbona. He was
appointed post master and held
this position continually for 80
years with the exception of one
and one-half years, seeing it
grow from a little office in his
home to an Office with four rural
carriers.
He was always foremost in the
things that would be a benefit to
the township and community in
which he lived. He will be re-
membered as an honorable and
upright citizen.
He leaves to mourn his demise
a wife, one daughter, Nellie, of
Kingston, one son. J. D., residing
on the homestead, one sister, Mrs.

Children having preceded him to

cry token of respect due an hon
orable pioneer.
