Gouin

The Legislature of Quebec was assembled and waiting to be prorogued by Sir Lomer Gouin, His Majesty's Lieutenant-Governor. In an anteroom Sir Lomer was rapidly affixing his signature to several dozen last minute bills. Suddenly his heart skipped strangely. Clutching at his side he lay down on a couch.

"The Lieutenant-Governor is sick, he may be dying!" cried Sir Lomer's secretary, rushing into the Legislative Hall. Three doctor M. P.'s and a priest sprang up, dashed after the secretary to the anteroom.

"Must sign those bills!" gasped Sir Lomer Gouin, as he died.
