NIAGARA, Sept g. 1917
Let US take q trip TO Oswego. we have lett the
Falls Of Niagara behind US. Passing over por-
tion of the Lockport X ailroad-whlch is now under
excellent management and down the side OF a
mountain, ia horse cars, TO Lewiston, we launch
noon the bosom OF Niagara River, six or seven
miles from its outlet into Lake Ontario. The banks
OF this river, from Lewiston on the American side
and QueenstOn on the British SIDE, are beautiful.
They are clothed in the splendid garb oil poetic
loneliness But here we are at the mouth OF tue
river which is dsfgured by two unnatural teeth
projecting. one ON each side, in the shape OF a for

themselves asses in enabling their rulers to be-
come devils Aud yet the waters collected from
the streams of both territories above meet and

Heaven. to reflect, from their liquid lenses, the
deeper blue of common Creators Throne. The British
Royal aud American Republican Steamers move out to-

brace Of both. The same gentle breath of Heaven
