1 rested little in front of the empty
school house, then set out to find suit
able place for my purpose.
Some distance from the school house
there was thick growth of hazel and
in the midst of this 1 set my trap. I
placed the triggers SO as to fall easily,
then laid grains of corn in two long
rows leading away from it, placing the
grains few inches apart, SO as to entice
the game nearer and nearer and to final
capture.
1t was very quiet there among the
hazel. 1t had been moist and warm all
day and the clouds above me were heavy
and hanging low. Somehow after all
did not feel as happy as ! had expected.
/ was inclined to be tenderhearted and
the thought of trapping the timid little
bobwhites 1 think weighed on my con-
science. But l consoled myself by
thinking that l probably would not
catch any and if l did could let them
go. Then ran home and believe l
was more quiet than usual during the
evening.
About dusk it began to snow. A few
inches fell during the night, then the
weather cleared and turned cold. All
day Sunday it grew colder and Sun
day night the thermometer fell below
zero. Monday morning it was too cold
for me to go to school. Tuesday morn
ing the weather had moderated. Ihur-
ried down my breakfast and hastened
to my trap. Before l got to it 1 could
see through the brush that it was down
and partially covered with snow.
Ny heart was beating with excite
ment as / ran to it and looked in be-
tween the Stats. Then raised it up
and flung it back, bottom upward.

lying there frozen-dead.
l believe that as a child my imagina-
ton was unusually vivid. could see
the little creature, lost from its mates,
seeking food and a place of shelter
from the storm; finding at last the
scattered grains that led to what |
seemed protection; peclSing at the ear
until the heavy trap fell and shut it
in forever; sitting there crouched down
and frightened; beating against the
Stats or pulling nimbly at the finty
kernels that chung stubbornly to the
broken ear. Colder and colder the wind
and fine snow blew in through the
crevices. All night it had sat there
trying to get warm-perhaps by Sun
day morning it had been too numb to
it had died by Sunday
night.
/ united the hickory bough from the
rap and kicked the oaken Stats in every
direction. Then l hid the little dead
,uail and covered 1t up with sticks and
caves from beneath the snow. On the
way back to the schoolhouse l said
little prayer. l never told Of my trip

Death In q Snowstorm,
twenty years ago was a little how
going TO school. l lived in the country
and the school house was a small frame
building in the edge of the woods, about
hair mile distant from my home. Dur
ing the winter some of the older bows
made traps which they set in brushy
places for rabbits and quails. for there
We're good many Of both there at that
Time. The traps were attended at
mornings, during the noon hour and
evenings after school. Now and then
a rabbit OF quail was caught by some
one OF the boys, much to the envy of the
others.
One Saturday made trap, too. T
had watched the older ones and knew
now. 1t was what is called log cabin
trap, being made of narrow strips of
oak, laid up two and two like a log
cabin and drawn to peak at the ton.
the whole held in place by hickory
bow bent over the top and tied by the
ends to the two lower pieces. 1t is set
with figure 4 triggers, the long one
pointed sharp and pushed into broken
ear of corn.
In the afternoon went to the school

school, 1t being Saturday, but l could
not wait. was little boy and the big
oak trap was very heavy, but tugged
it across the plowed field to the woods.

A SHINING EXAMPLE Of what
may be accomplished by never vary
ing devotion to single purpose is
seen in the history of the Mccormick
Harvesting Machine Co., Chicago.
For s years they have simply been
building grain and grass-cutting ma
chinery, and while there are probably
forty manufacturers in this line, it is
safe to say that the Mccormick
Company builds one-third of all
the binders, reapers and mowers used
throughout the entire world.

The Rev. DR.. J. Newton Perkins, OF

Building Fund Association of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church, occupied DR..
swope's pulpit at St Matthew's P. E.
Church last evening.
DR.. Perkins took his text from Elk.

He began his discourse with the
charge God laid upon Moses to build him
2 sanctuary. and the tWo-lOld command
which He gave to the people TO bring
offerings TO be dedicated to the building
of the sanctuary. He then said that
Gods object was TO teach the people
that He was TO dwell among them as a
father dwells among the children of
his own family.
After a short discussion Of the
grounds on which the discourse was
based. Dr. Perkins began the descrip-
ton of the work Of the Church Build
ing Fund since il was established in
1880. He said: Let us always re-
member when we see a church now,
that it is as much Gods house and built
by his command as was the first church
built in the wilderness

has loaned money to the amount of
S327.511. and out of the interest accu-
mulated has given out $11000 distri-
buted among sixty parishes in places
where money could not be loaned.
In closing his remarks. the speaker
said: "A few millionaires might build
numerous much-needed churches. if so
disposed, but l believe God would rath-
er have his sanctuaries built by small
offerings from each Of mis- children than
have a few do what many neglect"

He took mis- text from the first clause
of the IL v. 8 Prov For Wisdom is
Better Than Riches" He spoke of the
precious stones, and OF the value placed
upon them for their beauty, durability
and excellence.
There are precious stones Of meal
cUlable value, but their worth is not
comparable 10 that of wisdom. They are
durable, as time goes. but they will pass
away, while wisdom is permanent.
They are excellent, but wisdom is more,
so.
The speaker drew a distinction be-
tween knowledge and wis
dom, the former acquired
from text hooks ald learning.
the latter a matter of judgment. God
says. ~ Wisdom. dwell with prudence.

superior to knowledge. and exhorted
