"Few, perhaps, in the congregation," said Dr. Rutledge, "agreed with Sir Wilfrid Laurier in everything, Some scarcely agreed with hint in anything, but, whatever tate political affiliations, I am sure we are all agreed that he was tt flan for whom Canada should be thankful, and of whom we must always be proud.' Like his great opponent, Sir John A. P1cDonald, his personality was unique and fascinating, and mag- nectic to an extraordinary degree. In their ability to win the admiration of their 0ppolhents and the passionate devotion of their followers these two great Wren stood alone in our national life. You have heard' much of Sir Wilfrid's moving eloquence; whetiner you agreed with hint or not, you always felt he agreed with himself, and ,you found it difficult to get away from the charm of his oratory, Those who syinpalhetically followed his policies tv(11 all admit that he was a courageous ratan, which partly accounts tor his hold on the popular heart, People will excuse mistakes, but they have no liking for a coward.

It was (deal, and an example for all men. He • loved Canada, and. was al- ways loyal to the British Empire, This, as most of you know, is not an easy country to govern, The two great races which snake up the bulk of our population have more antagonisms than affinities. As a Mediator between the tivo peoples., we owe the great states- man an over whelming debt, and he host be an intensh marrow partisans who dues not feel the loss that has fallen. upon the comniiy in this respect in the removal of Sir Wilfrid.

Pain in the back is one of the first signs showing that the kidneys are not in the condition they should`be and it should be gotten rid of imnlediateiy,'if neglected, serious kidney troubles are . likely to follow. There is a way to "shake off" for ever the constant pain of backache, the annoy- ance of urinary troubles and all 'dangers of kidney ills. Go to your druggist or dealer; get a box of Doan's Kidney Pills; take a few doses and see how quickly your backache will disappear. Mr. laugh Morton, Daysland, Alta., writes:—"I am glad to feel it my duty to let you know what great relief 1 found by using your Doan's Kidney Pills. T was laid up for two months with pains in my back and I found relief after having taken half a box of "Doan's." I cannot recommend them too highly to anyone having weak kidneys, as they have been a great help to me."

A car following another car ha:: a ' richt to pass the car in front but >hould first give n, 1150 and enable the a.ther car to pull off the road. Where 1 t Sratries to pass the car hi front it i roust slake sure there is ample room and it is responsible if there is not. 1 in this case there was plenty of room - 1 end defendant is responsible for the accident, A car following another car should follow at such a speed that it can he stopped at any time if the car in front stops, There are many reas- ons why a car may be stripped un- avoidably and suddenly and the car: following must be far enough behind or going so slowly as to be under con trot. The evidenoe as above sunnmarised clearly points to the cause of this'ac- cident. The defendant was driving - close to the plaintiff, He knew, or should have known the car might stop suddenly or stall- without the driver being able to warn anyone coating behind. It was therefore his darty to• Ise on the alert and have his car fully under control so if a sudden contin- gency arose, as it did here, he would' he in a position either to stop Iitis car or turn to the left and pass the. plain- tiff's car without being in sucib a posi- tion as he found himself so close to. the plaintiff's car that he was camel" - led either to run Into it or attempt, to tura out and dash past. He chose the ' latter course and, as might naturally be expected, he ran into and injured the plaintiff's car, It was fortunate that the injuries were no worse. The occupants of both cars. amongst whom. were ladies and children, aright have been seriously injured and Hie conse- 'quences very grave. I can't help stat- ing here that this should be' a warming to all car drivers You don't own, the roads. You have, like others, a right to use the roads but in doing so you, should take care in fact it is your duty to remember the°bther fellow, If driv- ers could only get this idea firmly fixed in their minds accidents would not happen and people who use the roads lawfully for either business or I pleasure would be ahre to do so with some degree of cotrnfurt. The reck- less or careless driver must be taught to be careful not only for Isis own- safety wnsaafety but for that of others. Again remarking that it is very for- tunate that the accident was not mare serious, I have 00 hesitation in giving Judgment for the plaintiff for the dam- ages Incurred with costs 10 be paid hi fourteen days. 11, J.
