A prophet may be without honor io his >i>vu country, but Dr. Janiiesou is Dot uithout honor, high honor, ill Lis houie town. Oowds of cheering jieople, headed by a brass band, escorted the doctor from his residence to the tovn h.tll where many were unable to ;;<«in adnaicttnce. Kulogi.stic .iJdresse;, i>peeche3 and a musical program followet?. Speaker Jamieson thanked M for the many kindnt::i.se.s extended to Mr?. Jduiiesoii and binuitilf by tlie citizens of Durham. "Tliirty-.si\ years aj{o 1 drove into Durham, the bu<(ey containing all I possessed, and I had p;iid for ic am! the horte by giving my note. I was a pretty treen youth; you will all know how ^reen when I tell you the first ihinj; I did, wa^ to trade U'lrses with Mayor llunter, .k ^iroof of verdant lireenects.' The doctQi sikid that on looking around he could easily imagine hioi.sclf in attend- ance at a meeting of the ^><luth Grey Liberal Association and he hoped they were thinking of otfering hiai the uuniina- iuu, making it unanimous. As a Con- ervative standard h^'arer he had many warm political battles with .-.(Xne of those occupying seats beside him, but when he x^iw how contests weie conducted in other ridings, it aatistied him that in .Soutli Grey they fought the cleanest oattles in the province. Warden Calder's congratulations were appreciated. "The iSpeaker," said Mr. Calder, "has tho knac!( of getiins what he was after, his job." "I can sea my Hni.sli," was the comment of Dr. Jauiieson. Mr. «•. M. Dowmao, M.P.P. lor Centre Rruce, the M.iyor «nd Reeves of Durham and Hanover and prominent residents of South <irey congratulated the new Speaker. The Hanover band added to the gaiety >( tho ocfA.sion wliit:h included a splendid musical program. Only two of the present members i-'ccupied seats in the Legislature of Ontario when Dr. Jaiuiesou was tirst electeil, they are Hon. Thomaa Crawfoitl, West Toronto, and C. Andrew Brower. K.ast Elgin. .Vbout a do^eu members now (ittine were sworn in at the same lime, so in point of service the distinction betits the .loctor.

He never obtained his p.pcrs, however, on account of bting under age. Student ability did not rank hisjh with his fiis: employer, a general merchant in Mount Forest. Two dollurs ,1 month WIS the iM'ginnor's p«y, and tm six months the future s[)eaker diew this pittance, A ijrund opening soon pre-'onted itself. The Mount Forest K.\aniinor ivaiited a "devil." Jamieson wanted a job ai.d got it as he h»s (jot many of ih« gixd things of life. For live yea-s he swept the ortice, lemleJ the "tjpo lice,'' wrote locals and set type, all thti while lilting liiroeotf for tho battle of lif>;. .\ record lell t) his nimble tmgers of which he is very proud. The young "swift " entered a competition for the best time )!i co'n- pofition by hand "f -'4,0<X) ems of long piimer. His 'ttke" Was rejirin*, a serial story and the typo was all stauJiiig in ;. few minutes over sixteen conaecutire hours. The day before .lamieson left for Victoria College, latll' amalgamated with the L'niversity of Toronto, he was at his case sticking type, and the second day of the holidays found him again stick in hand. lu this fashion he w^irked his way through college, graduating in lb7», with what he Wiis many years later to learn, the highest standing in the class. One year previously to graduation he had practise] at Ctdarville. in Proton Town- ship, Grey Cmnty. • >n gradmting D jctor Jauiieson hung out his shingle in Durham. He was twenty-one. Succe&s early attended him in his profession. Five years later he w;is married to Miss Isabel Bradsb.aw of Toronto. Four years in municipal ottice in Dur- ham awakened a desire for larger tield. He becime a candidate in 18^ and Dr. Landerkin, then representing South Grey in tfte House jf Commons, got the scare of his political life. His majority over young Jamieson was but ninety- 'cven. Twice more the Doctor U'.- successfully ottered his services, in Dominion poli'ics, the last time in lt><56, when with two Conservatives in the held the Liberal majority was but forty- seven. Three times beaten, there would have been excuse foi him to withdi-aw. Not so the doctor. Prompted by his good angel, said to be his wife, he entered the provincial Held anJ from ISVi he has never known defeu'. In the elections of VS, ••>.', •(>.-., OX, 11 and 14 his majori- ties have risen to well over i he thousand mark. Now at the asje of tifty nine, hatiuL' fought fairly and strenuously for twenty-eigbt years he passes from active politics to the Speakership of the Ontario Lesislature, where he will play no favor- i'.es. In the life of the town and country the doctor h IS always been a prime favorite. (H great naturtl strength he t lok active |iart ill athletics, excelling at the shot put, and rirte shooting. *>nly last Thanksgiving Day he made the highest •core at tho Durham ranges, though he had not pointed a rirtj for years. Uis training in the *v*ueen's Own Rittes in student days stood hiin in good stead. During his three years in that corp*, he was a â- .'onsistent scorer. He rose to the rank of sei-gcant. TIte many-sided character of the uew Speaker is further evidenced by his success as a business man. Ever active iu the iuccrtsts of his home t jwu, he muM amply rewai-ded for his strenuous work in behalf of the Durham Furniture Co., and the National Portland Cement Co. They are employing many hands des|i:le business depression. Ill his .>plenJid home with wife and family, the new Speaker, utler the cheer- ing crowds departed last nighf, settled more comfortably into an easy chair and musing, decided that there are many heights Hill to be won by a man in the prime of life.
