As soon as the Blackfeet dis
covered the fight OF their captiyes
they set out in hot pursuit. Vainly
they sought the tracks of their pris-

worship the Great Spirit of the
Blackrobes, the sayages murmured.

Manitou is not powerful enough
AT length, after searching once more
the environs of their camp for the

Before the end Of the moon OF Au-

poor children OF natu re, whilst to re.

impossible But God IS is all-sufficient

on CHRISTMAS DAY.

On Christmas day, the legends say,
Ere earth's glad bells are rung.
At Christ's command, by Peters hand.
Wide heaven s gates are swung. m
And angels 70 bed in radiant white
With joy songs earthward wing their fight.
The soul that's clear of sin may hear
Upon the charmed air
The golden song the winged throng
Uplift as on they fare
The golden song they sang the morn
That Christ, the Lord, to earth was born.
The soul that's white may see a Light
O, Christ! that might see
The glory of the heavens above
Drift down On earth and sea
The splendor of ten thousand suns
Bring they to earth, the holy ones.
They enter in where death has been,
And hearts bowed down with pain
Are lifted up; the blessed cup
OF peace once more they drain.
The tempest of their grief is stilled
And all their souls with gladness filed.
The mother pale who doth bewail
Her infant torn away
Feels in her heart. the Joy springs start.
Unfed for many q day
Her soul unlifts song to bless
Gods mercy and His graciousness.
VI
Unto the scared and grin,ed and bleared
Soul beat by storms of SIM
Bringing the balm of heavenly calm
The gentle ones steal in.
| 1t hears a mothers prayer again
! Tears, holy tears, fall like swift rain.
! VII.
| But must they love to bend above
The children motherless;
| And they who weep are soothed to sleep
With heavenly caress
| The bright ones touch the sleeper's eyes
And 10 they dream of paradise.

break, whatever happens. The only con
ditions Of safety are capable engineering
and the expenditure Of sufficient money

the necessary money he has no business
to build dam at all.
But cupidity and reckless disregard Of
the welfare Of others are forces always Il

State should protect the people against
their consequences. IN every State IL
which dams exist there should be capa
