- Edmonton on March 22 that he was
ther, Charles B. at Emporia, Kansas,
in his 58th year, after a. very brief ill -
nese, This' week word. came of the
sudden taking away of artother bro-
ther, S. Y at Calgary Alberta An-
other brother died in tb.e States last
December, also followidg a very brief
illness, Three deaths within such a
short time is quite an unusual event,
and creates a sympathy' for the rela-
tives that has found repeated expres-
sion. The Taylor boys were natives
of East Wawanosh, but left early in
life for the great west, where all met
with success. • They are survived, by
-Mr. A. Taylor of Wingham, James of
'Belgrave, and Mrs, A, Scott of Wing
ham,
The ,following news item is from a
Calgary paper: -
"S. Y. Taylor, grand secretary
th4 Grand Lodge of Alberta, A. F
and A. M., died at his home, Glen-
wood 1Vrannor, Sunnyside Blv•d.., 'Cal-
gary, at IQ o'clock Wednesday morn-
ing. Death was due to lteart failnre.
Mr, Taylor was 6/ years of age, and
is survived by his wife and one mar-
ried daughter, Mrs, R. G. McNeillie
of Winnipeg, who is now Calgary.
"Mr. Taylor was one of the most
widely known and popular Masons in
the province. He had been grand
secretary of the Grand Lodge since
1917. '
"The late Mr. Taylor was born in
Belgrave, Huron county, Ontario, in
1866, and was educated in that prov-
ince in the public schools, high school
and later in the normal school, hav-
ing chosen teaching as his profession.
He was principal of Paris, Ontario,
public school for a ntunber of years,
and then in 1906 he carne to Calgary.
"In Calgary he took an active inter-
est. in educational matters, and be-
tween rgo6 and 1917, when he retired
finally from the teaching p'rofession,
he was principal of Alexandra, Mt.
Royal and Riverside schools. In 1913
and 1914 he served on the Calgary
school board, being chairman in the
second year. During his membership
of the school board he went into busi-
ness, but after retiring fibin the board,
he again returned to his profession
and was appointed principal of Riv-
erside school.
"He had taken an active part in the
Masonic fraternity for ao years, and
had. attained the rank of district de-
puty grand master in Ontario. In
November, 1907, he became a mem-
ber of Ashlar Lodge, No. 28, A.F. &
A.IVI,, in Calgary. In 1915 he was
elected grand master of Masons in
Alberta and in 1917 he was elected
grand, secretary of the Grand Lodge
of Alberta, a position which he held
with dignity and efficency until his
death,
• "Mr. Taylor also took an interest in
seized with' the fatal heart attack.
Within two hours of the close of the
convocation he was stricken down.
He was removed to. Calgary to his
home on Friday, and since then his
condition grew worse and hopes of
recovery given up.
"In religion Mr. Taylor was a Pres-
byterian, and for a number of years
he was an elder of St, Paul's Presby.
terian church. After the union he
became a xnemb,er of Knox church.
."The date of the funeral has not yet
been fixed, but the. services will be
held in Knox church, It is expected
that full IVIasoniei honors will be ob-
served, and 1Viasons from 11 parts of
the province are expected to attend
and pay their last tribute to their col-
league. Foster 84 Foster are in charge
2 of the funeral arrangeinentS,”
F. The paper says editeriallyg-g
"Calgary has lost a citizen of ster-
ling worth by the death of Mr. S. Y.
Taylor, Ever since corning to this
city 22 years ago he has been an in
I fuential figure in the life of Calgary.
He had two great interests -education
and the Masonic Order. A teacher
for many years and at one time chair-
man of the school board, he never
lost interest in educational matters.
In recent years his active services
have been given to Masonic effort.
His standing in the order was very
high. He occupied the chief positions
in the gift of his brother Masons by
whom he was regarded with respect
and affection. The late Mr. Taylor
was a curtured .and most affable gen-
tleman, kindly in disposition and con-
siderate of all others..., His loss tvill
be keenly felt throughout the prov-
ince, •as well as in this city, as his
Work in recent years had brought him
into close contact with members of

Instead of the old, frame building sit-

corner has been cut off, gasoline

walls built, and provision made for an
attractive office. A drive way through
the corner gives it an up-to-date ap-

and what may never be again.
Within the sanctum of your busi-

congregate day after day, year after

National debt of England, to whose

alas, the place that has latown us so
long, will know us no moke.

us ungrateful and selfish. How could
we stay out, the latch string was al-

pent up thoughts, well you know
when we wanted, seine place to go.
Well let's go to Currie's barn.
Yours was our haven of safe retreat.
We scuffed your chairs,
We word out your couch,
Rusted your stove
And dirtied your house,

AT THEIR REGULAR MONTHLY MEETING
Little business - of importance oc-

appreciation to the Council for the

away, and its late resting place has
been neatly fixed.

Initted its report recommending; pay-

for his services, At present he gets,

to calls at all hours. The chief made
it plain that this suggestion came as
a surprise to Filth, and without any
suggestion on hislpart, but thought he
was the poorest paid man in the cor-
poration, considering his length of
hours. Mayor Fells elosed the matter
by stating that no application for an
increase came at the proper' time.

OLD JOE
Old. Joe is 2a years old, not much
as human lives are reckoned, but a
long span when it comes to poor old
Dobbin. For 21 years Old Joe has
been a valued rnember of Jack Cur-
rie's livery, and when the proprietor
decided to retire, he also decided that
merit and faithfulness would not be
forgotten, anh that Old Joe would
have green pastures and a well-iarned
rest. Be entered the business when
a snappy driving outfit occupied the
same position as a Rolls-Royce today,
and lived to see many changes. What-
ever his ancestors may have been, he
had a lot of good points. He realized
that work was his alloted task, and
this he did without vigorous objection
and faithfully. He ploughed, drew a
wagon and the exPress. In his youn-
ger days Judges, Lawyers and Cler-
gymen sat behind him with pride and
young lovers with safety, and assur-
ance he knew the road home dark
though the night might be. Theh he
seemed to recognize a wedding affair,
for the flying ribbons seemed to tell
him that he should, show real style
and action. Yes, that was, Old Joe's
