s. M. Waite, the defaulting President of the
Brattleboro, (yt) Bank, was arrested by Special
Agents Llewellyn and Shields of the Depart
ment Of Justice, at the residence of Freeman
Buck, in Omaha, Neb., where he had hidden in
the cellar. He was surprised and was captured
without resistance, Bucks family being at the
fair. He was taken East. He alleges that he
is penniless, and that upon deserting the bank,
he took only enough money for travelling ex-
penses. 1t will be remembered that his defal-
cation amounts to something in the neighbor-
hood Of $500, 1000.

One Question Too MANY.

A shrewd old gentleman on the wit
ness-stand, testifying in a case of as
sault, was very careful on his direct ex-
animation to say that it was his "im-
preston" that the defendant struck the
complainant with a club, The vague
ness and uncertainty with which he
stated this impression induced in the
young lawyers mind the belief that he
could worry the old gentleman on his
ross-examination. So when the wit
ness was turned over to him he began
"You say, Mr.. Jones, that you have an
impression that the defendant struck
this complainant with club. Now will
you please tell me what reason you have
for any such impression?" "Why, bless
your soul, Squire Strong" said the wit
ness, "I seed it with my own eyes,"
"That will do" said Squire Strong,
hastily, "you can step down." and, turn
ing to his associate, he added, "I'd bet
ter have let him alone" The moral we
suppose is that there are times when it
is quite possible to draw out too much
information on a cross-examination.

The writer of the words and music of

that the sovereign for whom the French
man invoked divine protection was not
one of the four Georges, but Louis
XVIII, at whose first restoration, in
1914, Rouget wrote hymn with the
title and refrain of "Dieu preserve le
Roi.'' The French ''God Save the

cLERGYMEN AND THEArERs

The Church Congress of the Church
of England, held at Leicester, England, on
the first OF October, was enlivened by a
discussion on the attitude of the church
toward the stage. The Rev. Gordon Cal
throp "admitted the absurdity of declar.
ing actors and their ways to be essentially
unchristian, but took the view that as the
church thrived the stage would suffer. y
A playwright, Herman Merivale, and a
''professor of the dramatic art" John
Coleman, delivered addresses from the OPP
posite side of the fence. The Rev. l., A.
Isaacs was chiefly averse to the clergy
going to theaters on the ground that the
ministerial standard was that things were
lawful, but that all things were not expe-
dent. The Rev. Canon Money supported
this view and expressed a fear that the
old Adam might prove too much for the
young Melancthon if the Christian did
not exercise some restraint on his choice OF
pleasure. It was not the province of the
Clergy to 90 to theaters, the evils OF which
Mr. Merivale had acknowledged. In sum
ming up the discussion the Bishop of Car
Isle said that he had not enjoyed much his
own very few experiences at the theater,
because it seemed to him that Shakespeare
required whole troupe of fir5t-rate art
lists, and as there were generally only such
artists in the better parts, the effect of
their representation was spoiled by the
multitude of muffs that assisted them. As
to whether the clergy should attend the
aters, that was question on which each
one must 60 down on his knees before God
to consider his duty in the position in
which he was placed. He should have a
psor opinion of the probability of good
parish work coming from man who was a
regular and systematic playgoer. He
should have just the same feeling perhaps
in modified form OF a man who was a
systematic eroquet or lawn tennis player ;
or who made it part of the business OF his
life to indulge in those childish things
which when the man was called upon to
preach the Gospel of Christ he ought in
some true sense to put away. At the same
time he was not going to condemn those
who thought it their duty and their right
to attend dramatic performances. He was
not prepared to say that if man could go
to the theater and keep himself pure, the
very fact of his attending there might not
have an admirable result in helping to re-
form the stage.
