Romantic Gone From Figure g oR by Poison Route Paris, Aug 14.--Parls in the Aug- ust sunlight of recent days has been The streets are al- most deserted, crowds on the cafe terraces are stripped of their cus- tomary vivacity and have become indolent and silent, unreal figures are brooding over the streets wnat are of no earthly city but of a re- splendent mirage. It lacked only one touch to complete the series of stage-settings, The newspapers provided it. Jean Galmot was poi- soned in faraway French Guiana, and the reappearance of his strange features and stranger history in the papers was like the breatu of an exotic wind of the tropics. Be- cause Galmont was poisoned thee have been riots in the public square at Cayenne; four men of import- ance have been killed, and perspir- ing officials in the Ministry of the Colonies have become engaged in the throes of an investigation which may satisfy the bureaucraye minds. An avid Paris has drunk of melodrama. Jean Galmont was born in the valley of the Dordogne, famous to scientists for the remnants it stil harbors of ancient Cro-Magnon man. Through Galmot it shines only in reflected notoriety. lle played his game in the obscurity of French Guiana, that sick spot of France whose prison colony is the home of the living dead. Makes First Fortune Dark, with an olive darkness that is unusual to the French, even of the south, thin of face, with large nose, and ears and uyen that burned, Galmot caused sume consternation to placid editors of Nice and Paris when in his youth he decided to use the profession of journalism to slake his thirst for adventure, Nice and Paris couiun't hold him, He went to Guiana to make an investigation of the prison for the paper. His report is still remembered, but the report never returned. Under the torrid sun of Cayenne he found his place. He searched for gold, didn't find it. Remembering the famous fable of La Fontaine, which tell that riches are to be found in the soil, he be- gan a series of exploitations of the soil of Guiana and amassed a for- tune. He exported wood and su- gar and gutta percha and becarce one of the greatest exporters of rum in the world. Rich, his fever didn't abate. He travelled again--notably into South America; inland, where he lived with a tribe of Indians, which he believed the descendants of the first inhabitants of America. He wrote a book of that adventure, called "Une Etrange Histoire," and the Indians offered to make him the chieftain if he would live with them, Later he said that his one regret was that he didn't accept their of fer. That was after the rum sean- dal of seven years ago. The bot- tom fell out of the market and his fortune disappeared. Meanwhile having turned his hand to politics, Galmot was the sole representative of Guiana in the Parliament at Paris. : Fortune Such a man could not lack ene- mies. They triumphed. Galmot was tried in connection with the rum scandal and deprived of his mandate as deputy and sent to prison. A literary acquaintance who saw him after his release has left a record of his appearance, his strength gone, his body racked with fever, and "in eyes smoulder- ing fire, fetid, acquisitive, and mysterious as the heart of the jungle." On the day he went to prison he was brought to the mar- ket place in Cayenne and all of the ten thousand souls of the town came to bid himr farewell. While men stood with bared heads and women knelt, Galmot read a pas- sionate declaration beginning, 'Je jure de rendre la liberte a la Guy- ane,' and ending *"J'al signe ce sor- mont avec mon sang." Prison broke his health, but not his passion. In five years of free- dom he had become rich again. The boulevards have not yet heard by whom he was poisoned nor why? Only that he died mysteriously--a less subtle means than by poison would have been a jarring note-- and that blood was paid for his loss. That is a touch of perfection for avid Parisians on these theatri- cal, sun-oppressed afternoons. CAR OF NEW WHEAT ARRIVES IN WINNIPEG Winnipeg, Aug. 13.--One car of new wheat has been received from Southern Saskatchewan by a local elevator company. It graded No. 1 hard and averaged 63 pounds to the bushel, and there were 39 bushels to the acre. Much inter- est centres around the initial payment to be made by the pool. Oficially it has not been an- nounced, but it is sald the price will be as in other years--first payment $1 cash basis No, 1, Decision must come in the next few days as pool wheat will begin to reach the elevators in quantity any day now. With October around $1.12, as compared with $1.49 the same day a year ago when $1 was the initial pool pap- ment, there are grounds for spec- ulation as to the pool course, hut the sinister umors come from sources tha He been previously' discouned.

Mrs. A.

The traffic stream moves on. How many times 1s this scene enacted on the streets of any com- munity? If such a condition were at all necessary, it would still be an evil to be decried, but mechanical gen- fus has proved itself so efficient that the raucous automobile horn is a discordant note that is distinct- ly an unnecessary disharmony in the realm of motordom. There are remedies if they will but be applied. "Softey Horns" Three factors are involved in this situation which annoys the pedestrian and which in some minds indicts the motorists as an individual who is armed with a weapon instead of a means of trans- portation. They are the manufac- turer, the automobile owner, and the person sidewalk as a haven from motor cars. It may be said at the outset that the manufacturer is doing his part more and more, He is making a horn which constantly is being attuned fo the pleasant impressions of life. The trend is unmistakably in the direction of the softer, more tive of the friendly accord that should prevail between the man who rides and the one who uses nature's mode of transportation. A Social Duty Since the manufacturer is pro- ducing horns of far more pleasant tone, horns which may be kept in a state of adjustment that will sup- press none of their symphonic 'qualities, the responsibility for maintaining motordom's poise con- sequently is shifted to those own- ers of automobiles who misuse their horns, What they are doing to contribute their need to the de- sired solution of this vexing prob- self-examination. Use of a motor car is recognized as implying a social duty which ex- acts proper handling so as to harm no one, If driving an automobile is a privilege, we are constantly reminded that it is not one which permits an untrammeled existence, Always the motorist must be watching carefully for the person who may be endangered by his car. Everyone agrees that it must be kept under control and so manipu- lated that it will be mutually un- harmful. Horn an Evil Thing The horn fits into the scheme of things as a warning signal. It is not a means of venting one's spleen at the jaywalker, nor is it intend- ed to permit one to drive the fast- er by sounding shrill blasts that signify that a speeding car is ap- proaching, If this were the case, a horn would be an evil instead of a benefit, and whenever it does ap- pear as an evil there is usually mis- use. Assuming that the manufactur- ing trend is in the direction of bet- ter horns, the remainder of the solution of the perplexities of the problem lies with usage, if the de- vice ig properly adjusted. When is a horn used properly and when fis it a raucous disturbance that hene- fits no one ? In seeking an answer to this question it must be remembered that both motorists and pedest- rians are affected. The motorist, having used a horn himself, will more readily understand the mean- ing of a warning signal. The pe- destrian experience teaches us, is the one likely to confuse the shrill blast and step into danger where he should be making a hasty re- treat. The form of usage, after all, seems to be largely the effec- tiveness of the warning. But it will be seen that the signal is ef- fective only when there is proper use. It is a circle of reasoning that is far from vicious. The model '| regulation on horns of the uniform vehicle code reads: Audible for 200 feet "Every motor vehicle when oper- ated upon a highway shall be equipped with a horn in good working order eapable of emitting sound audible under normal con- ditions from a distance of not less than 200 feet, and it shall be un- lawful except as otherwise pro- vided in this section, for any veh- icle to be equipped with or for 'any person to use upon a vehicle any who looks upon the! appealing notes which are sugges- | lem may be revealed by a little "Trespassers Will Be---"' Do You Know Just What That Involves 'A mew, nicely painted board, "Trespassers will be Prosecuted," fixed at the entrance of a little wood. I wondered what was in the mind of the man who had it painted and erected? Did he know what trespassing meant, or the meaning of the word "prosecuted"? Had he any idea that the erection of such a board would keep any- one out of that wood if he wished to enter? It has been laid down that tres- pass in the general sense of the word is not a criminal offence at all, and never has been; prosecu- tion only becomes possible under special statutory powers such as are sometimes conferred upon rail- way companies, or when the tres- pass is In pursuit of game, or ac- companied by wilful and malicious damage to the landowner's pro- perty. That 1s to say that no mo- torist, cyclist, photographer, bot- anist or tramp can be prosecuted for trespassing on privately owned fields or grounds, or in privately Owned woods or thickets. But that is not to say that the landowner . or property owner has no powers. He can request you to move away from his ground im- mediately, and if he does so the best thing to do is to go at once, because the law gives him power to remove you should you refuse, and it does not specify how much force he need use in so doing. All it says is that he shall not use mrore force than necessary. If he does decide to use force to remove you and you resist that force, the con- sequences may be very serious in- deed. In fact, any resistance will make a bad thing worse, Property owners have sometimes made requests that have been, but need not have been, complied with. They have asked for picked flowers ar roots to be given yp to them; or have asked, in extreme cases, for cameras to be given up, or for negatives, that have been taken, to be destroyed. In regard to the first, the position is that the land- owner would have to prove that the flowers or roots were his--an extremely difficult thing for him to do. In the second place, the fact that one is a trespasser does not affect one's right to possess property. One is not de facto an outlaw as soon as one disregards a notice board, and camera and negatives remain your property even thaugh the negatives may be taken on private ground without the consent of the landlord or tenant. He may, subsequently, prevent you from selling prints fromr such negatives under the law of copy- right, although even then the posi- tion is not quite clear. Nor can the landowner prevent or prohibit the taking of a photograph of his property from a public road or lane, although he can.prohibit the taking of a photograph from a pub- lic footpath across his property, as the sole right of the public in the footpath is to pass along it. The utmost a landowner or ten- ant can do to a trespasser, short of forcibly ejecting him, is to bring an action against him in the Coun- ty or the High Court. The action may be brought for nominal, special or exemplary dam- ages. Nominal damages are askéd for or given when something is to be established. For Instance, a landowner may wish to make it clear that a certain alleged right of way does not exist, and he will bring an action against an offender and claim nominal danrages. If he wing he may claim heavier dam- ages against a second offender, and should he catch someone else at it after winning his second case he may claim for exemplary damages, and may get them. In any case, it is as well to be as civil as possible if accused of trespass, as in one case a jury gave a landowner a verdict for $2,000 against a trespasser who had sup- plemented his trespass by offen- sive language and igsulting con- duct towards the landowner. ¥m= ther, it must be remembered that it is no defence to an action for trespass to prove that you tres- passed in ignorance, and the fact that you have strayed inadvertent- ly, so to speak, will not avail. In a trespass action special dam- ages may be claimed to cover the actual loss in hard cash that the trespass or its consequences caused the land owner. It may not have it open, but if a drove of prize bul- locks escaped thereby and got into a garden of prize flowers, the cost of leaving the gate open might be serious.
