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. canvas.

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.

"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.
