Kingston and Ontario Owes Much To Miss Agnes M. Machar. Toronto Globe. . Kingston--and Ontario for that matter--owes much to Agnes Maule Machar. Many thousands of words have been written in prose and verse for' the illumination of the past or the present by that gentle personal- ity of the one-time Capital of Can- ada. In onewof the old schol read- ers was a poem, 'Among the Thous- and Islands," which introduced that scenic region to many a éhildish mind, just learning to appreciate nature, where "only the shadows tremble and quiver 'neath the balmy breath of a night in June." Kingston people know Miss Machar through her long residence there and her active part in many public causes, where her keen intel- ligence and judgment have guided conferences and councils. The out- side world may now picture her in her &dvancing years, as she was seen by F. L. MacCallum, who writes of her in The Canadian Magazine: "As you go up to the door a smart shower is pelting down, and a hilari- ous squad of very young things, with silken ankles and 'rolled' knees, splash by. A moment later you are ushered into the 1860's. Plciures of all sorts--portraits, groups, scenes, Rock of Ages, and fruity tHings-- crowd the parlor walls and over- flow into adjoining rooms and hali- ways. Tables here and there carry a deckload of books, while mantel- piece and piano stagger under their burden of micknacks and papers. gestion, a tiny, old lady, whom you had all but overlooked, rises from a horse-hair chair and extends a gent- 'le hand. ~ "You fancy a great burden of ears--Ilike in the illustratlo of "The Pilgrim's Progress'--resting on those bowed shoulders. - But when you look into her eyes, you are greeted by a spirit young and eager as your own, but eo 'wise. Those who live in Kingston often pass that indomitable spirit hurrying the frail, worn body, clad anyhow, through storm and darkness, toward the or church. For the intellect still commands, even as it did when, as a r | gigantic | with of the Kingston papers, probably The News. "'Yes," she answers, placidly, I think I was rather pisased."" There have been many lines and numerous volumes since then, in- cluding her fine History of King- ston, and to-day: '" 'Oh, yes," she answered, as we stood al the door, 'I still write. I was at my desk all morning, writing or ratching the rain in the trees, And it as been pleasant talking about these books. Not many bother about them nowadays, you Amow.' ""A passing runabout filled the old- fashioned street with fits derisive bray." test rsesfrssrreve 4 LITTLE BOY CHOPPED "THUMB WITH AXE + 'While playing with an axe at his home at Mountain Grove on Saturday, Omar, the young son of P. Gray, stuck his thumb and almost completely severed it near the base of the nail.

Those who appreciate nature at | her best and revel in a ~ wealth of varfegated scenery will find the route travelled by the Canaian Na-| tional Railways between Torohto and Vancouver, one of never-to-be-for- | gotten beauty. First through the inimitable lake ! region of Northern Ontario, skirting | many placid, mirror-like lakes | pocketed between tree-clad hills, | catching a fleeting glimpse of many portentous, rock-strewn little water- | ways dashing madly towards the quiet levels of the lakes below. From Winnipeg, the fertile Prairie Prov} inces treat the traveller to a type ot | gently undulating scenery not to be seen in any other part of Canada. The ever-changing scenery of the | Canaddan . Rockles never grows | wearisome, no matter how often it | is viewed. Jasper Park, with its pro- tected wild game and beauteous Mt Edith Cavell; coos . Robson, slow-mov glaciers stretching from snow are only a. few of nature's wonders the traweller by the Canadian Na- | tional Route sees before descending | to the balmy climate of Vancouver and the Pacific Coast. There are two Canadian National Trains leaving Tordnto daily for tha | West. The - 'National ecarrving standard sleeping car and compart- | ment observation car departs at 10.45 p.m. Steel equipped. the *'Na- tional" is luxurious in every detail. A-standard sleeping car connecting tha Continental Limited, the train de luxe of the Canadian Na- tion System leaves Toronto every | evening at 8.45. : Travellers to Colifornia or other points on the Pacific Coast usually take the famous scenic route through Canada because of its beauty. Ex- cellent conneétions are made at Van- couver with both steamship and train. Make reservation or eet further particulars from J. P. Hanley, C.P and T. A.

Resolved, that we need a new ho- tel. Question: 'How are we going to get it?" i f Kingston does not take a back seat! by any means when it comes to mak- ing a sale of her bonds. City Treas- urer Bartels' statem ut on the civic finances is a most encouraging one. Good evening, "have you bought your 1924 Ontario Motor license marker? St. Patrick's Day passed oft very quietly in Kingston with no plaints about husbands declaring themselves for home rule. It the O. T. A. is ousted, what line will the "bootleggers follow? An Ottawa magistrate has given the answer to the question asked so many timds in police court, "When is a man drunk?" The Ottawa cadi sds that a man is under the Iin- fluence of liquor when he does things he would not do In his sober senses. -- Several Chinamen at St. Cath- arines were arrested for playing Man Jongg for money. Why not let them gamble their money oR their own game? It has been suggested that all auto drivers undergo an--~éye test. How about a breath test too?
