However, with the aid of ,his nurse he was able to take a short walk. every morning and was a well known figure on Goderich Street, his cheerful -smile and wave of hand perhaps conveying more than verbal message.

In writing of his early manhood spent on Manitoulin Island, he tells the fol- lowing: This recalls the story of another very much surprised red man. It was in the old Tinkis' store at Mani- tbwaning. A number of Indians were in the store and among the rest was one particularly solemn - visaged nitchi. The question arose among the Saganosh present as to whether the old chap could be moved, and J. H. undertook to test the matter, "A seidlitz powder .box was opened and the Indian was induced to take.a glass of water containing the contents of the white paper. He was persuaded to absorb the contents ofthe blue paper in like manner directly after- wards. "A live bomb could hardly have created a greater commotion, The In- dian did not exactly explode, but Hand's greatest creation in fire wheels could not have given a livelier exhibition of action or quicker fire splutterings than came from the noble red man who had made the mistake of not mixing before, in- stead , after, taking."
