From the day of his birth at Anbroath, Scotland, in` 1852, up to _the day of his death, the life of the late first vice-president of the C. `P. R. is a Itascinating study. I Many men have gabilities high as` those that were possessed by David McNico1l, but few men can apply themselves to the exertions that are needed for the develop- ment of abilities as heapplied him- self. At an early age he saw his alite work before `him as plainly as Jane might see a great ladder latanding against A wall Little is known of David McNicollithe ch1Id and schoolboy, but in-1866-p -the year the Fenians invaded Canada from the United States-.-we are told -that the lad, then aged 14 years, took up the post of clerk with the North British Railway Company in Scotland and in 1873 he got a position as clerk with Hm Nnrfh Illtllanpl 9.11.... n .... .... I-Ill? Ulllllllls Val nauuucuou The office of Mr. McNicoll was one oi` the most pleasant of om:-es in Montreal. and there the first vice-president used to sit in a swivel chair which allowed him to change his pose as he changed the thoughts which he pre- sented to those -who came to speak with him. There was none of the swell ' about him: he was a plain man, usually were dark clothes. and his attitude was always unostentatious. He was able to pack a large bundle of wisdom into a" small sheaf of words. and he was as practical in his conversation as in his work. There were few questions with regard to the general details of the C. P. R. which he could not answer extemnore. ` v\-._1.1 \n..\r.I..-I1 .11.! ..-4. -14. I.........ll..... Aw-..

At the latter mentioned little town he was hillingclerk for a year; and then went to To- ronto where. he was installed as chief clerk in the oice of the genera: manager of the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway,` '0 The year -1882 brought him another change, for then he became general treight and passen- ger agent. "About this period the C. P. R. was laying. steel across the Dominion of Canada and people were beginning to awaken to the wonderful possibilities of the Canadian Pacic. McNicoll was one of those who saw a great future for this railroad, and in 1863 he obtained an appointment in the service If the company as general freight and passenger agent fer- the Eastern and Ontario Division. `Promotion came rapidly for in 1889 he was made General Passenger Agent for all the lines. both railroad and steamship. There was a still further recognition of his worth in 1896 when he took up the duties of Passenger Trafllc Manager for the entire system. The height of his advancement was not attained even in 1899 when he was given the im- portant role of Assistant General Manager, for the following year he found himself Second Vice-President and General Manager. The rst vice-presi- dentship was taken up by him in 1903, and in 1906 he was made a director. Owing to ill health in 1914 thlsdistinguished railroad career was brought to a close, and Mr. David MeNicol1 retired, having left behind him arecord that it, would be dislcult to heat. ' - 3..-].

This man, who took a big part in themaking of a giganticenterprise, was the possessor of a strongsindividuality and a manner none of which was taken from the manner of others. In all that claimed his attentionhe was most sympathetic; he toiled in quietude and after he had finished arduous. work he did not tell his friends that he had been working hard. . He en- deavored to make his own particular business perfect. and he wanted all who worked in connection with him to have aims similar to his own. To those above him he imparted business ideas and expounded policies that might lead towards new expansions. If he were exacting "at times. he was always just. It is true that there were occasions on which his demeanor was brusque. but hrusqueness is often the cover for a soft heart: with him it was frequently the beginning of/kindness. ml... .51.... -0 11.. 1u..xn....n ....... -..- -0 41.- ....--.. -u-_.}-_. -. -5--- ._ Accuracy and Eiciency in BANK or-TORONTO Thursday, December 1, 19`i. _su Good for the whole family% I"'V U1 l4Il"" Vllal! ll!

While the causes of all coughs are primarily the same` yet the condition of the patient is what makes the difference in the nature of the cough itself. Coughs of healthy persons are easier to. cure than the coughs of invalids. The more powerful convulsive cough of a big man is harder to cure than the cough of a baby. If you get a. remedy that will cure a big man s cough and yet _ not be too powerful for the baby,you have a good cough remedy.
