idea of freedom with which he had open

twenty years before. But whereas Karl
Moor was warning against the existing
order of things, the Swiss people were
fighting for the preservation of their
ancient rights. The drama deals with
what one might call the rebellion of the
three Swiss cantons. Schwyz, Uri and
Unterwalden, against the Duke Albrecht
of Austria, who was at the same time
German emperor under the name AL

Besinger Won Londenberg, harassed the
people in all possible ways, in order to
force them into submission to the house

born Swiss gathered together en- the
RuetH, that famous meadow on the lake
of Lucerne, even now an objective
point of pilgrimage to the traveller in
Switzerland. They swore a solemn oatn
to overthrow the Austrian tyranny, and
to free their country. But even while
they were maturing their plans, one of
the oppressors, Gessler, came to his

ridiculous ordinance Tell one of the
best marksmen far and wide, hit the
core of the apple without so much as
touching a hair of his sons head. Yet
he swore vengeance, and at the next
opportunity he shot GeSSler. This deed
was the signal for a general uprising Of
the people. The Austrian officials were
driven out of the country, their castles
destroyed, and Switzerland was once
more free. Although the play is named
after Tell, he is merely the nominal hero

The foot is beginning to receive con-
siderable attention from people of edu-
cation lately, and rightly, too, for the fit
of your shoe is of much more Importance
from all standpoir,ts than the fit of your
clothes. People are beginning to be much
more particular about how their chill
drens feet were fitted than they form
erly were and the merchants who would
gain and hold the trade of parents must
use care and judgment In fitting the chill
dren.
A famous German specialist in recent
article on the human foot, says: 'Why
should so much Importance attach to
perfect foot? Because the foot is the

There's a boat that leaves at half-past

And it reaches the haven of Slumber-

1t carries the FINEST passengers,
And 1t rocks so gently, OH
When the wee ones nestle In their berths,
And the boatman begins to row!
The whistle sounds so low and sweet
iAke a mothers lullaby
That the travellers smile and close their
eyes.
To dream of angels nigh.
Sometimes the travellers tarry too long
In the busy port of Play.
And the anxious boatman coaxes and
calls,
And grieyes at their delay.
But they, ecme at last to the rock
Which bears them down the stream,
And drifts them to the Sunderland,

And it's guided by mothers hand.
