JOBIN HAS WHITTLED
FAMOUS STATUES
Man Who Carved at Ste., Anne de
Beaupre Is Going Bi.nd—Virgin
25 Feet High—Stet.te that Towers
at Entrance to the Saguenay is His
Quebec.—Old Louis Jobin of Ste,
Anne De Beaupre, the scene of the
world famous shrine in the province
of Quebec, is eighty-three years of
age and he is still whittling wood,
or was until Very recently when his
sight went back on -him. When Lou-
is whittles wood he has the world
looking on in expectant admiration,
' for without any doubt, Lotus Join is
one of the finest wood carvers in the
world.
When American and Canadinn pil-
grims flock to Ste. Anne de Beaupre
during the summer months, as they
now do in the hundreds o: thous-
ands, and wish to take hack home a
souvenir of their spiritual t.:use
cleaning; it is invariably a Lat114 Job -
in statuette that they deeido mien.
These statues must be scattered all
over the civilized world to -day, but
it is a question if any one of the
owners know the name of the maUt
who made it, for despite hie fame
among the intelligents, he is so over-
whelmingly modest that to put hi.:
name ti it piece of work, newevei
excellent, would appear like sacri-
lege to his sequestered soul, and al-
though he is comparatively well eff,
he still lives in a little woo len hews.
which he whittled himself eon's thir-
ty years ago, near the shrine of
Good Ste. Anne, to the spreadine of
whose 'fame as a miracle worker he
has devoted the balance of nis
While to -day this remarkable obi ar-
tist devotes his time and his talent
to the production of statues, argel
heals and altar pieces, he was not al-
ways so ex-clusive in his devotion to
religious subjects, tIvire was a tiele,
for example, before he :tweed frnia
Quebec to Ste.. Anne De Fletiupre
when he was much more con e rnee
with designing of ships heads then
angel .heads. The making el' ligees
heads for ships was tho eassion of
his youth, and he estimates thet over
a span of years he ,must have made
no less than six hundred of them.
Figureheads of Ships
One of the best examples of bie
work in this regard was the primel
figurehead of the Chief Angie:, ti
clipper of distinctive parts in those
far-efr days when Clipper ships were
the pride of the ocean and steam we,
still in its infancy.
Between the years 1880 and 1508
he had many invitattops to go to
New York, where among shipping
men of note, his work was known
and appreciated. He admits shet, he
was tempted at the time, but thinks
to -day that he mast have received
spiritual guidance in declining the
Chit, for he is convinced that his life
work is just as he is doing.
About the seine period as he was
inducting his passion for figureheads,
he diversified his output • with the
making of a number of Indians. .
One Of these Stand befora a tob-
acco store on St. Jelin street just
Where it stood for fifty years. The
owner has been offered as much as
$500 for it but hci. refuses to sell, re-
garding it as Unique and of greater
value than the sum named.
Another of Jobin's Most distincti've
works, perhaps the most dietinctive
of all, is his liege statue of the Bless-
ed 'Virgin which towers above 'Cape
Trinity at the entrance td the Segue -
tea'. Our Lady of the Saguenay is
the title which the statue bears and
the history of its erection is no less
r °Mantic in fact than the history of
the lemons river is in Story.
Thirty years ago a man tarried
011eries Napoleon nobitalle, a colt"
wiereial traveller, found hineself near

tressed was he in mind and body over
his condition that he .made a vow to
erect a statue to the Blessed Virgin
if he should recover to live ten years.
He recovered and actually lived
eighteen years and he kept his vow
by having Louis Jobin design and
carve the statue to Our Lady of the
Saguenay.
Statue of Gen. Wolfe
The statue, which is 25 foot high,
was blessed by Mgr. Racine a'. a
great demonstration of the faithful.
Among others oi his moet famous
productions is the statue of General
Wolfe. This work was undertaken
to replace the original which had
been destroyed. It was taken away
bysome of the officers of a Beitieh
ship and rested for a number of
years ia Bermuda, but in the y iter
1880 was returned after a lone
spell nei -elation. This statue of
'Wolfs e ': depicts the general in
his ve"i'oeie in a gallant attitule,
regari, :id :is on22 of the most effeet ve
bits tii' wood carving in the woeld.
Mi -v other famous men �' the
past ''• re been given l.mmortails..y by
the af his knife upon the natural
wood. Aniline the most notableof
them is, perhaps, de Salaberry,
whose name is -wrapped up with the
history and development of the prov-
ince. As indicated above, however.
these exploits are all of the pet or
late years he) has confined his works
to religious subjects, and will., in it
sense they are of a quantitative rath-
er than a qualitative asset, they are
all works of a high order. Sone sf

To -day, though not produelue ••
thing of note on account of.his

record that One, he is gime his work

PRETTY CHRISTMAS TABLE.
An Old Fashion—eddr.Pna.rty For the Chit -
The arrangeMellt Of a table at a
Yuletide party was quite U011511111, in-
asmuct as it was an old fash1oned
square one. lengthened to accommo-
date twelve children. It WAS pushed
back agalnet tbe wall, and at the back
was the lowest sized Yule log candy
box, resting on a bed of holly and mis-
tletoe;
On top of the log was a doll dressed
as a Jester, called the "Lord of Mis-
rule," and attached to the front end
of the log by red ribbons were six
dolls dressed to represent the first six
months of the year. Vollowing after
tbe log were six more figures dressed
like the last six mouths. At each plate
were a holly paper covered horn and a
wee tree 51 with red wax tapers.
The iedidren were to blow ont the
candles, making a wish for each one.
If they go nut with the very first pnfr
the wisb,will come true. A white and
red Christmas ribbon goes to each
plate, fastened by n spray of holly.
Then each child looks at the dolls and
says which one he or she thinks rep-
resents the montb 111 which they were
born.
If there should he two 111 the some

LAKE 'WINNIPEG
RECEIVED ITS NAME
Canadian -Born Were First to De-
scribe and to Visit This Manitoba
Lake
When did white men "617St hear of
the existence of Lake 'Winnipeg; who
Nees the first white man to describe
it; and who the first fo gaze upon its
expanse of waters?
According to the Geographic
Board of Canada, Europeans learned
of the existence of the lake about
one hundred years ham..2 the date
en which it is known a white man
1' 111 1,. The lake be same known
te the Jesuit missionarie; from the
reverts- of rovang Indians belonging
to tribes living upon its shores In
the report sent home to France of
the happenings of the year 104.0,
tl:i; 151 a reference to tilt "Ouinipig-
ouu0, "dirty people," so called be-
cause the word "Ouinipeg," tee name
of the unknown sett from the shores of
which they came meant "dirty water."
The term "dirty -water" is generally
taken to refer to the turbid eppear-
ance of the lake after a storm.
The first person to give a correct
description of the lake is the Cana-
dian -horn Nicolas Jeremie, who spent
twenty years at York Factory on
Hudson bay and published, et Am-
sterdam in 1720, an account of his
experienees. Jeremie never venter -
ed inland from Hudson Day, but hes
left excellent descriptions 0"' the Nel-
son, Hayes, and Churchill river; and
their tributaries, Lake Winmerig he
refers to as "Michinipl" or "big wet -
'i" because it is the largcist and the
deepest of the lakes of that chain.
Jeremie also refers to lake Winni-
pegosis, calling it "Ouenipigoucnib."
The first white man actually known
to have visited lake Wimineg was
also Canadian -born. This was Jean
Baptiste de la Verendyre, who in
173.1 founded Fort Maurepas on the
right hank of Winnipeg river near
its mouth in Lake Winnipeg.
