A Providential Escape.

In Manitoba Memories Rev.
George Young relates an experience Of
his boyhood which, he says, formed thu
turning point in his career and led him
eventually to choose the life of q mis-
sionary in the north land.
Early one stormy morning when
was boy, says Mr.. Young, was feed
ing the cattle in the basement of a sta
BILE when terrific windstorm struck
the building and crushed it like an egg
she'll. Hearing the crash of the falling
and breaking tim bers / fell on my knees
in terror and began to pray.
In a moment, as it seemed, the storm
passed and stiffness prevailed. [ was
completely encompassed by the broken
timbers and the mows of hay and grain
which had been stored in the upper part
of the barn. | was in utter darkness,
too, and at first completely dazed. Find
ing myself unframed, however, / recov-
cred my senses and began to dig into the
hay to escape.
After long struggle ! worked myself
free from the hay and stood in the midst
of the wreck.
1t was afterward ascertained how
narrowly had escaped being crushed
to death by the falling timbers. Had /
been standing at the moment must
have been killed. The space wherein
had knelt was about yard square and
the only place where I could have es-
capped instant death.
Much was made of my remarkable
escape, which have always regarded
as direct interposition of Providence,
and in consequence have devoted my
life to the Masters service

A Navajo Indian can hide more bulk
within the folds of his blanket than

successfully hide many stolen articles
before our eyes. The settlers along the
San Juan and Animas rivers, during the
early days, had to put all their stealable
possessions i'll one corner of their places
of abode and stand guard when the Ma
vaJoes were visitors, which was too
frequent occurrence. 'Chinny alb -go!'
(meaning something to eat) was the first
lntimation generally that an Indian

rarely exceeded half dozen in number,
as they, like the American hobo, had
learned that smaller numbers stood a

him. A Ratchet which slipped from one
of the folds in his blanket fell, and the
sharp blade cut long cash in the calf
of his leg. The Indian looked to the

the Ratchet had fallen from, but the

trayed him. His blanket was shaken,

the wind blew over 80 miles an hour, and
