Will Shut Down For Three Minutes on Friday, Loudon cable: After the Archbish- op of Canterbury had pronounced the benediction at Westminster, the choir, accompanied by trumpets and drttms, rendered the hymn, •`Olt, God, Our Help in Ages Past," and the Dean pronounced the benediction, after which Queen Alex- andra rose from the praying chair and knelt beside the coffin, and with uplift- ed hands offered a silent prayer. For a moment it seemed as if her grief would overcome her, but when she had finished her prayer she arose and beck- oned to King George• to escort her to the door. and with him on her right - and her sister, the Dowager Queen Marie of .Russia, on her left, site walked with queenly et;iuposure to the entrance. The rest of the company left, some. by the main entrance and others from the op- posite end. The silence of the dense maeses of people that lined the broad Mali was impressive. Men wept and women sobbed as the gun carriage bearing King Edward's coffin passed. A deep • hush pissed over the crowd when, after the gun carriage, bearing the coffin of the King, the Queen Moth- er's, carriage came along. All eyes followed the Queen Mother's carriage as fur as possible, and then turned to Queen Mary's carriage. The public lying -in-state began at 4 o'clock. The threatening clouds which hung over the city during the procession cleared off and the sun was shining when the people were admitted to the hall., The crowd began to Iine up in the streets near the hall early in the morn- ing, not .to be admitted before 4 o'clock, At 3 -o'clock there was a Iine four • abreast • whiehextended through the adjacent police cientrollYd streets for 3 rules, and was constantly inereasing in length. The police estimated it to be five miles long when the working peo- ple began to join in line at 6 o'clock. The hall closed at 10 o'clock to -night. Ou Wednesday and on Thursday it will open at 6 a.m. and remain open until 10 o'clock at night. The spectacle of the immense. silent, patient throng of humble Londoner:, men, women and children, shuffling along, its head slowly disappearing into the hall. was as impressive a tribute to the dead Sovereign as the more splendid cortege of the morning. KIPLING'S TRIBUTE. • I.ondcn cable: Rudyard Kipling has written a tribute in verse to King Ed- ward. After detailing the greatness of his inheritauce, and how all looked to hint for advice and encouragement, the poet says: • And Ciod poured him an exquisite wine th.tt was daily renewed to him In the clear welling love of his peoples that daily accrued to hien. honor and service ie -e gave him, rejoic- ingly, fearless. Faith absolute, trust beyond speech and. .n. friendship as peerless. And since he was master and servant in all that we ask him "?ire leaned hard on his wisdom in all things knowing not how we task- ed him. For on each new day laid command, every: trayannone lzour To confront or confine or make smooth enme dread issue of power, To deliver trate judgment aright at the instant unaided. In the stritet level ultimate phrase that allow or disuadcd; To forgot, to alley, to avert from ns per- ile unnumbered; To stand guard on our gates, when he guessed that our watchmen ]tad ']harbored; To win time, to tnrn hate, to won felly, service and.-e,iooling His strength to the use of his nations to rule as not ruling; These were the works of our Bing. Earth's peace is the proof of them, God -gave him groat works to fulfil, and to us behoof of them. \t'e acs^epted his toil as our right, none spared, none excuser] him; When he was bowed by hie burden, his rest was refused hitt; We troubled his age with our weakness, they blacker the shame to us; He heart] that his people had need of hien, straightway he came to tat; he received so he gave. nothing grudged, naught denying. Not even the last gasp of his breath, whet he strove for us:. dying, Per our sakes, without question. he put from hint alt that .he cherished. Simply as any that serve him, he served, and he perished. All that Kings oov.'t was his, and he firing it ncide for os. Simple as any that died it; his cervi^.e, he Med r.. us.

C9 Li � d, ONTARIO ON WRITING 'PLEASE MENTION THIS PAPER] WHY HE IS KING. Parliament Settled the Laws of Suc. cession Many Years Ago, Why is George V. King? The answer which most people will give is that he is Ring because he is the only surviving son of Edward VII., which is true; but it does not explain why the son of Edward VII. automati- cally became King as soon as his father died. The answer is that George V. is King because Parliament settled the suc- cession a good many years ago in a fanci- ly of which he is by law the head. George V. is son of Edward V11. Edward VII. was son of 'Victoria. Victoria was daughter of Edward, Duke of Kent. Edward, Duke of Kent, was third son of George III, George Ill. was son of Frederick, Prince of Wales. Frederick, Prince of Wales, was son of George 1I. George II. was son of George I. George 1. was son of Sophia, Duchess of THatover. This is as far back as it is necessary to go, for in the reign of Queen Anne Par- liament passed an act declaring that the title to the Crown vested in 'Sophia, Duchess of Hanover And the heirs of her body •otten." This act of Parliament is thecie of (.t5crge V. to .the 'Crown. T,t it tttey he of present interest to trace the line of descent of his Majesty further and show why Parliament se lected Sophia as the person whose heirs should reign. Sophia was a daughter of Elizabeth, Queen of Bohemia. Elizabeth was daughter of James I. James I. was son of Maty, Queen of Scots. ISIary, Queen of Scots, was daughter of ,Tames V. of Scotland. ,lames V. was son of Margaret, Queen of Scotland. Margaret was daughter of Elizabeth, wife of henry VII: Elizabeth was daughter of Edward IV. Edward IV. was.son of Richard, Duke of York. Richard, Duke of 'York, was son of Ed- mund. Edmund was son of Edward III. Edward ITT, was son of Edward 11. Edward TT was son of Edward I. Edward L was son of :Henry III. Henry TII, was son of John. ,Hohn WAS sort of Henry 11. 11'enry TT. wag son of :-Hemi. Mond was daughter of Henry H. Henry I. was son of William the Con - aileron But the lineage of the Sovereign can he carried even further than this, for Maud, dauultier of Henry T., was gra.nd- dengbter of St. Margaret of Scotland. St, 'Margaret was daughter of Edward lth.eli ng. Edward. Atheling was soh of Edmund Ironside. l�dtmtn6 Tronside the Unready,. Ethelred was son of Edgar. Edgar was sort of Edmund.

"Canadian Farm's" Campaign For Pure Water Begins May 27th. Pure water is one of nature's good gifts to mankind. It was part of the Creator's scheme of things that both ratan and beast should have it in plenty. But in this, as in many other things,, man has not been true to .the trust laid upon him. The water supply in this country is neither as pure nor as pienti ful as it was when nature held swiay in the land. In no place has there bean more deterioration in the water supply than on the farm, and the pity of it is that there is absolutely no good reason why this should be so. Wells and springs of pure water have been allowed bo be- come polluted with all sorter of filth and disease-produomg matter. On many farms to -day the sources of the water supply for man and beast are nothing short of an abomination. Deadly dis- eases lurk there, and the wonder is, that life has been preeerved at all, so impure. and unwholesome is the water supply. Every farmer owes it to himself, to his family, and to the beasts of the flold to furnish, an abundant supply of good, pure, health -giving water. "Canadian Farm," believing that this question is one of the moot important that the farmers of Canada have to deal with, has decided upon an energetic cam- paign for pure water on the farm, A GRITTY GIRL. Stayed Twelve Days On Door Step and Got a Homestead. Saskatoon, Sask., May 23.—That grit and determination, in a measure whihc few men possees, are ueoeseary to camp on the cold and uninviting door- steps of a public building every hour for twelve days, is something which no one will deny, but that is the feat ac- complished by Miss Williams, a pretty young school teacher of this town. Her reward came yesterday, when she filed first claim for a section of land within two and one -halt miles of the town of Kindersley, 'which to -day, is valued at $10,000. Miss Williams, who is a teach- er in the Alexandra School hero, and is well known and respected throughout the town, took up her position on the doorstop of the land office building on Thursday, May 5, and had been on the steps every hour until yesterday morn- ing, when her plucky wait was rewarded by the filing of her claim, and the hearty plaudits of her friends as she left the building. With a previous record of four separ- ate terms it prison, Harry Sadler, a Montreal lad of seventeen years, was sentenced to three years in the peniten- tiary for burglary. Sadler is the most youthful criminal sentenced 'to the pens- tertiary for many years in Montreal p0. , lioe annals.
