PALMER COX, "THE BROWNIE
MAN"
A Canadian Who Lived For Two
Years at Lucknow
A physical giant standing over six
feet two inches in height,'aud'weigh-
ing over two hundred pounds: this
was Palmer Cox, "The Brownie
Man," who died in Granby, Quebee.
the place where he was born eighty-
four years ago, His hair was just be-
ginning to turn grey, and he looked
more like a man of fifty.
When Mr. Cox was a schoolboy he
got` into endless trouble for. ,persis-
tently neglecting his studies to draw
pictures of inert and animals, gener-
ally in caricature. The only varia-
tion from this . was drawing battle
scenes and especially of . charging
cavalry, but he would draw anything
-just to draw. Even his teacheis
began, to enjoy his drawings, al-
though they were often annoyed at
his indifference. to any other 'studies.
For -some years after leaving school
he 'Worked on the farm of his own

age of twenty he set out in search
of adventure, but .hc did not get.any

glowing stories of the opportunities
offered men of vigor and ambition in
San. Francisco were brought to Luck-
now by travcllers'•and Mr. Cox set
out for that city via the. Panama, He
had a most perilous journey crossing
mountains, but adventure was what lie
was (oohing for and- he enjoyed it
thoroughly. ,
He worked at dila erent jobs in San.

'The Century Publishing' Company
was among the first to recognize the
talent of Mr. Cox,. and in the pages
of St. Nicholas "The Brownies
brought joy and amusement to .mil-
lions with their funny antics. "The
Brownies were later put on the
stage in the form of light opera and
were a . delight to theatre -goers, old
and young alike.
With the money Palmer' Cox made
out of the "Brownies" he built
"Brownie Castle," a beay.tiful solid
stone edifice situated on the highest

HIGH. SCHOOL EXTENSION

Here's a note fr'on't Brackenbury,
Lucid, clear, concise
Showing he has cause to worry,
'Bout the old school's size;
Schoolhouse is too small by half,
For the pupils he should have.
Now our school is crowded •sore,
Pupils packed like sprats;
There's no room for any more,
