Thanksgiving Day of 1900,1' Mackenzie King paid his first visit to Kingsmere. The natural beauty of the area intrigued him and two years later he purchased an acre or two of land. and; erected a small cottage. From then on he regard- ed Ms summer home as a good in- vestment and used his savings to increase his holdings. Twenty-five years ago he bought the •pleasant 12 -room cottage of wood and stone that became the main house at Kingsmere from the,. Very Rev. Dr. W. T. Herridge. The original cottage became a staff house. Other transactions which increased the size of this beauty spot over the. years Included the one in which the Prime" Minister traded a flock of unproductive sheep to a neighbor in return' for a patch of land boasting .a tiny stream and a waterfall. From such events was the lore of Kingsmere formed. There, briefly sketched, are the histories of Laurier House and Kingsmere. Their full stories, with the part they played in the daily life and the daily and often momen- tous decisions of William Lyon Mackenzie King, architect of na- tionhood, would require a volume as pretentious as any now gracing the shelves of the man's beloved study "up under the eaves."

Seaforth The legend is told that in the days of ancient Rome an officer called away, to the wars locked his beautiful young wife in armor and gave the key to his •best friend, with the admonition: "If I don't return in six months, use this key. To you, my dear friend, I entrust it." The husband then galloped off to the war. Ten miles away from home, he saw a cloud of dust approaching and waited. - His friend, on horseback, gallop- ed up, saying, "You gave me the wrong key." ' • When the pastor of a Scottish church finished his, sermon, he gave a few minutes• to one of the brothers to say a few words on his pet subject—prohibition. "Brethren," said, the prohibition ist, "if I had all the whiskey, bran day .and champagne in the world, I would fling it all into the River Clyde " He sat down and' in the pause that followed, the parson, himself an enemy of prohibition, arose. "We shall conclude;" he said, "by singing Hymn 157: "Shall We Ga ther At the River?" ,,< (Continued from Page 5) each -table, each piece of s'culptur and bit of bric-a-brac in Laurier House has a story -'all too few of these tales are known. For instance there is the small crystal ball on the piano in the lib- rary. Once (in 1938) it was seen on the 'desk in the Prime Minis- ter's office in the East Block. Where did it come from? Nobody knows; The rooms on the ground floor are high-ceilinged and stately, .with tall French windows. The chairs and tables are antiques, worn with use and age. Occupying practic- ally every available surface are keepsakes and curios, souvenirs of great moments in the life of Mac- kenzie King. Glass cabinets con- tain the scrolls and commemora- tive chests marking the bestowal of the. Freedom of London, Shef- field, Derby and a score of other cities. Busts of Mr. King's par- ents dominate one drawing room; their portraits and those of ,his be- loved' rebel grandfather, William Lyon Mackenzie, of Sir Wilfrid Laurier, of his revered mother Isa- bel Mackenzie King and 'of Glad- stone look down from the walls of the dining room, perhaps the best room in the house, .The bedrooms—King's own and the two guest rooms, one of which was formerly Laurier's study—are distinguished by tb,e narrow brass bedsteads, and the confusion of an accumulation of curios. In Mr. King's own bedroom is the wicker arm chair in which his mother passed, away. The heart sof the house, the fam- ous study where Mr. King did, moat of his work, Is on eche third floor.
