Being Cheated by the
Undertaker.
John Kingscott, aged 84, of Atlantic
Avenue, Winnipeg, is ready to face
death with a smile, for he has just
put the finishing touches on a pair of
cedar coffins for himself and his wife.
Kingscobt is one of Winnipeg's best
known and most highly respected
"old-timers." He has lived in the
city for twenty years, and for a num-
ber of years has been prominent in
civic politics. In the last municipal
elections he was a candidate for the
City Council, and despite his years,
carried on an aggressive campaign.
Before coming to Winnipeg he was a
resident of Toronto for eighteen years.
"I'm just waiting for the call," he
said recently, "and now that I am pre-
pared for it, the sooner it comes the
better. I have made my will and my
coffins are nearly made. You come
with me and I'll show you as neat a
pair of last fittings as you ever saw."
He led the way to a small shop at
the back of his lot where he -proudly
exhibited two brown cedar coffins,.
shelved carefully and covered with John Kingscott.

Had Faith. in His Father.
Bobby's father is not a brilliant sort
of man; it has been said, in fact, that
he errs decidedly in the other direc
tion. He took Bobby the other day..
on a short visit to some frien}ls, and,
thinking to make a good impression,
he started a conversation. "I - had
quite an adventure the other even-
ing," he said. "At the corner of a
dark , street a man suddenly sprang
out on me and said that if I didn't
give him my watch he'd knock my
brains out. Fortunately, a police-
man came along, and the man took to
his heels!" "And weren't you afraid!"
asked his ;hostess. "Afraid!" echo -
