religion to-day than / was ten years
ago but, as said before, | have
doubts which / had not then. The
creeds of to-day do not seem ifl my eyes
TO be so wholly groundless as they
were then, and while | believe that
the next hundred years will see great
changes in them, | do not think that
they are destined TO disappear. To
sum up the whole matter, the work
which have been doing appears TO
lead TO nothing and may have been
grounded upon mistaken premises.
Therefore, il is better TO stop but
do not want to give the impression
that | recant anything. / simply stop
denying and wait for more light"
This is a very weighty testimony.
We do not feel any desire TO exult
over Mr.. Frothingham's confession Oi
failure and doubt. We would only
call attention TO the two things which
have begun to convince this learned
religious philosopher that bis life.
work may have been in great part a
mistake. The one is the fact that the
tendency of free religion is downward.
It's drift is toward an abhorrent. dead
materialism, which uplifts no life, ita
own leader being witness. The other
evidence which has moved him is the
power residing in humble Christian
life, especially rs he has seen it in
unambitous Roman parish priests. This
testimony delights us. and all the more
as il goes TO the credit OF Christian
body with which we are not connected.
Ifrevealed Christianity has any pow.
er. it ought to show itself just here, in
Christian life +; and this ought to be
the strongest proof that Christ is in
the Church Of truth.

THE BOUNCING BISON.

From Bismarck comes the story that
the passengers on a recent train from
Yellowstone had an experience exceed.
iDgly rare. When about two miles
from Sentinel Butte, the dividing line
between Montana and Dakota, O herd
of sixteen buffalo were seen short dis
tance ahead, within easy rifle range.
There were several soldiers on board
with army rifles, and numerous small
revolyers were also pointed at the ex-
cited bison. 4 perfect v0Iley of lead
was poured into the herd, but TO no ef.
feet. They bounded away over the
divide, and were soon out of sight. The
passengers had no sooner begun a dis
cussion Of what they had seen 10 years
gone by than danger signal from the
locomotive brought every one TO the
lookout. A herd Of twenty or thirty
buiialoes were making directly for the
train, and, fearing the engine would
strike them and be thrown from the
track, the air brakes were set and the
train nearly brought 10 a standstiIl,
while the buffalo crossed the track a
few feet ahead. Every gun was again
leveled. Such excitement cannot be
described. Bullets few in every direc-
ton, some striking the ground az near
as ten feet from the train, Others rais-
ing the dust a mile distant. The train
moved on slowly. and the volley Of
lead continued to pour from the guns
Of the excited passengers. Finally the
smoke cleared away, and the bufaloes
could be seen about half a mile of,
trotting along as uDconcerned as
though they had never seen a railroad
train. The disgusted travellers drew
in their weapons and spent the rest Of
the day arguing as to the probable
amount Of lead buffalo will carry be-
fore be will weaken. Pictures of rail-
road trains passing through herds Of
buffalo are numerous, but the actual
experience is one of which the passen-
gers may feel prond. They we're pro-
badly but struggling bands from the
main herd, which is forty or fifty miles
north Of the track. From Sentinel
Butte east to Pleasant Valley Dick
inson) at least 800 antelope were seen,
which is a daily occurrence. Verify
the North Pacific is the sportsmans
paradise.

effort to arouse him but in vain. Sub

Death Of SupeTeargo Burkart. who
Brought About a Historical Battle.


From 'hs Phllsdslphia Press,
Valentine Burkart, a veteran Of the
war Of 1912, died on Tuesday week in
9ith year OF his age, at No. 42s Arch
street. His death occurred in the very
same room, and within a few feet Of
the same spot, where he had been
married sixty-six years before. The
old soldier was the sole survivor of n
company of the Washington Guards
commanded by Captain Requet. and
stationed during the war with Great
Britain at Chester and New Castle.
The deceased was born in Philadel-
phia, and after receiving the best edu-
cational advantages in those days. he
was placed by his parents in the ship
ping and commission house of Willing
Il Francis, then a widely known firm
among the shipping interests. The
young man was quick to learn, meth
odical and intelligent, and so fully
gained the esteem of has EMPLOYERS
that, at the age of tweniy-one, he was
given the responsible position of su-
percargo on the ship Margaret. aud
sent on a crusse TO Lisbon. On the
return passage the Margaret encoun-
tered the British mau-of.war Guer-
riere. and was boarded BY her, much
to the surprise Of the officers and crew
Of the Margaret, who were unaware
that war had been declared between
the two countries. Mr.. Burkart was
always of the opinion that the Guer-
riere, also. did not know that hostili-
ties bad been begun, for the Margaret
was simply searched for cOntraband
goods, aud then permitted to continue
her course. She put into Halifax,
Nova Scotia, for water, and there
learned that war bad been declared.
The young scapegrace at once made
inquiries as TO whether there were any
American war vessels near, and was
overjoyed to find that the famous old
Constitution was in port. To her
commander, Captain Isaac Hull. he
told Of the meeting with the Guer-
riere, and described as closely as he
could her possible location. The Con-
stitution set sail on the 10Th of Aug
ust, 1912, and encountered the enemy
three days later. The famous battle
and the speedy defeat of the British
"terror Of the seas" that followed are
facts we'll known to every schoolboy.
The passport carried by Mr.. Burkart,
which entitled him to admission to
foreign ports, Is s.ill preserved BY the
family. and il in itself reminder Of
one Of Philadelphia oldest families.
Il Is drawn up in an old-fashioned,
clerkly hand, and signed in bold char
