In these words Benjamin Franklin outlines the simple fact that the man | 1s well off who has been given the | vocation for a certain calling and is wise enough to follow it up. Ha also | gives a hint of the nobility of work, no matter how slight the results of that work may be. Certainly Geonge Frederick Hen- derson began life with a calling afid it is even more certain that he did 'not follow up his call'ng without a healthy amount of hard work. A modern enterprising lawyer has | something more to do, in paving the | road to success, than sitting in an office watching. the money roll in. | When you sit and watch money it in- { variably rolls gut. To reverse the process it is neces™ary to do a Jittle | rolling and chidsing on your account. | George Henderson was born in | Kingston on February 17th 1864 the son of the late Peter R. Henderson, { who was for nrany years managing director of the Montreal] Transporta- | tion Company. -) With other young | Kingstonians of the) time, he started | his school career in the private | school taught by the Rev. Mr. Graff- | tey, in what was. then the Baptist | parsonage. The Rev, Mr. Grafftey | was then pastor of the Baptist hich is now the First | Church of Christ Scientist on Johnson | street, | . From Mr. Grafftey's school he {went on to the Gfammar school, | across from Chalmer's church, which {later became the Kingston Collegi- ate Institute's first building, and at4 the present time is used by the Civil | Service Commission as a headquar- | ters for the manufacture and fitting | of artificial limbs ana appliances. He | matriculated in 1880 winning the | Mackerras Memorial Scholarship in { Latin and Gres". Of course he went' | to Queen's and previous to his gradu- { ation with' a Bachelor of Arts degrees iin 1884, took an energetic part in nt an al! d college After/leaving Queen's, Mr. Hender- | son 'took up the study of law in | Toronto. He went to Ottawa as a | student in 1886 and comme¥ced prac. | tice for himself in the fall of 1887. {In 1890 he joimed the firm of Mc. | mee ul | GENEROUS GIFTS. ; -- | Were Made By Late John A.

Quebec, July 22.--A remarkable "vase of child burglary came up in the Police court before Judge Cho- quette, when Alfred Baker, : aged eleven years and six months, was ar- , charged with a series of petty robberies which have been battling the local police for more than three weeks. The lad admitted his guilt and per- sisted that he had operated alone. He was detained, and his parents will be called and questioned before the case is disposed of. in That Canada's fuel shortage is a' matter of transportation which may be cured in the course of the next few months is the word that Hon. F. B. Carvell and Commissioner 8 J. McLean bring back from Washing- |in spite of the high cost of living, to Investigation and many others. As counsel for the Ottawa Electric Company, Mr. Henderson had the first cases in Canada concerning the interference -electrically of adjacent electric lines. Familiarity with muni- cipal work led to his publication, in 1895, of » handhook on the "Ditches and Watercourses Act of Ontario." In 1906 he was appointed draindge referee for Eastern Ontario, though still retaining his general practice. In 1909 his 'jurisdiction in this re- spect 'was extended to cover the whole 'province and since that time unail the present he has been acting as drainage referee for the province of Ontario although actively engaged in all other branches of his profes- sion. In the year 1907 he was appointed a King's Counsel and was elected president of .the County of Carleton Law Association for 1907 and 1908. He was president of the Ottawa Board of Trade for two years, 1898 and 1899, has been a member of the board's council several times and al- ways taken an active interest in it. In 1917, Mr. Henderson acted as chairman of the commission appoint- ed to investigate the packing house and cold storage business, which in- vestigation attracted much public attention on account of its bearing on the cost of living. For several years | past he has been'a trdttee of Queen's | University, and he says that he is firmly convinced that Kingston is an | ideal centre for a utiiversity and for general educational advantages" He took a great interest in the proposed removal of Queen's Medical College to Ottawa. * We almost forgot one of the most | important évents of Mr. Henderson's | life. In fact it may have been the | most important event of all. An old minister once remarked during a | sermon that we are born we marry | and then there is nothing left for us | to do but die. ' Mr. Henderson was smarried .in. 1890 to Margaret Eglin- ton 'Brown and they have been blessed with one daughter. Certain it is that Mr. Henderson has found many more useful and interesting occupations than dying since he was married. For recreation and exercise, Mr. Henderson follows up golf in the summe# and curling in the winter. As h'e puts it he is "pretty keen on both, with not .enough time for either." He belongs to the Royal Ottawa Golf Club, Rideau'Club, land We Brock- ville and Cornwall Clubs. Mr, Henderson is 'associated with many of the largeyfirms of the Domi- nion as legal counsel "jHe is solicitor for the Royal Bank of Canada at Ottawa the Toronto General Trusts Corporation (Ottawa Branch), the Otawa Light, Heat and Power Com- pany, the Imperial Oil Company, Ot- tawa Dairy Limited, the Ottawa Gas | Company, the E, B. Eddy Company and many other important interests. Besides his work.as counsel he is a | director of the Ottawa Traction Com- | pany, the Ottawa "Electric Railway Company, Ottawa Car Company, Ot- | tawa Gas Company, and Deschenes Electric Company. SUICIDED AT OGDENSBURG, N.Y. | State H o Ogdensburg, NX., July 22.-Mrs. Nellie M. Gardner, aged forty-nine, of Caughdenoy, ended her life at the State hospital on Tuesday. Mrs. Gard- ner-was admitted to the institution on May 20th, 1919, and was confined in Ward H. She was-an agitated pa- tient, very despondent and of suicidal tendencies. Mrs. Gardner had a piece of cloth secreted about her person and early this morning entered the bathroom. She turned on the water and the nurse in charge was under the im- pression that she was getting a drink. - Within a few minutes the nurse anade an ifivestigation and found her hanging from a pipe in the room. She was removed to the floor and several doctors and nurses tried by means of artificial respiration to revive her, but without success.

RPT This huge qu ty will be in- creased during the Shearing season ih July and August. As the production of wool in'this country-is growing 'the coarser grades is considered very serious. One reason for the. situa- tion is that formerly Argentina sheep breeders 'had bought more of the meat than the wool, with the result that their stock became mixed and the consequent wool coarse and not uniform, > To £10,000,000, * London, 'July 22.--~The House ofY Coinmons has authorized the expen- & 'ton.

While the economic coadition of the country was subject only to slight variations, there was no at difficulty in estimating probable busi- ness and in getting ready for more. The great object ol Tila manage- ment in the period before 1912 was to increase the volume of business. Therefore new lines were built and terminals were enlarged. For two or three years before the War, it was apparent that ofd con- ditions were passing away. The cost of operation was steadily rising while the rates remained stationary. Sud- den and unexpected increases of traffic taxed e facilities of the various roads. Managers of Sagle- truck lines began to say that double- tracking was imperative. Executives of double-track lines found their terminals too small and their rolling stock - inadequate. "Yet there was little possibility' of securing money for extensions. pital issues, whether of bonds or of stock had no attraction for investors, The year 1914 brought a flood of traffic, growing larger and still larger during He course of the war until the executives did not know which way to turn. The cost of coal began to rise. Higher and higher wages were demanded by the men. All materials doubled in price. Inadequate frei ht and passenger rates, kept low by popular clarfior and public regulation, could not begin to carry the enormous increases in the cost of operation. Through traffic was profitable but gains thus made were lost on local traffic and branch Jines. It seemed as if all railways lad one terminal-- in a financi . In the United States the unneces- sary ex ! competition were. elimina by co-ordination of traffic under Government supervision. Still there was a tremendous: deficit. In Canada a joint Railway 'Board re- senting the three great Railway ystems co-ordinated the service, but the Canadian Northern and the Grand -Trunk failed to meet their scapital obligations and came into possession of the Federal Govern- ment. The Canadian Pacific, despite its enormous strength, and the genius of its management saw the. price of its shares declining. - : The times have been stra Souditions, Rove, A thicket thorny problems faces every man Tesponsile Jo the direation of Tuilway policy. ake one point alone, the i of coal. jon at the mifies is not equal to the according te eminent the stores in the earth are not % In the United States there is a short- age of cars and labor. to get the coal as the frontier is itself a tion on this side Cars and motive ful in Canada. has risen in proportion with the ad t r traffic i ules price of the coal.
