During spell of particularly hot
weather we'll known baronet came
across three wOrkmen engaged on job
on his estate. One of them remarked,
as workmen not infrequently do, on the
dryness of the job. The heat had
perhaps extended itself to the baronet's
temper. At any rate, he turned away,
with the reply: eff you are thirsty,
you know where the we'll is. You will
find a pail there" -
Thinking over his remark little
later, it flashed across the baronet's
mind that he had given orders for three
bottles of champagne to be put into the
pail and lowered into the we'll to cool
for dinner. He fastened to the well
and discovered-three empty bottlesi

the same time to expound the various
parts of the "Confession," would be
like trying to walk on the top of two
freight trains moving in opposite
directions. We cannot, then say, if
this is the case, that one is diverted by
selfshness or restrained by doubts, but
rather barred out by ancient dOgmas.
There will be no difficulty in securing
plenty of young men for religious
orders as soon as the church makes it
clear that its pulpits are hospitable to
freedom and progress.
The pulpit is no place for the erratic
or cynical crank. There may be pro-
gress in all things without destruction,
and what the young man demands is
not place and opportunity to work
havoc with ancient traditions but
place into which the modern spirit and
discoveries may be taken. That sooner
or later simplification and reconstruct
tion OF religious teachings, bringing
them into harmony with facts known
recognized and accepted, is inevitable,
and the sooner it is made the sooner all
churches will rise to newer power aud
usefulness. The church, considered as
whole, gains nothing by carrying a
lot of useless baggage in the shape of
old doctrines now outgrown, and which
may be discarded to the advantage of
spiritual Christianity, and as being a
burden which the rising younger
generation will not carry. Let the
churches face forward and the young
men will follow them. r. Oh

DAFFODILS.

wandered lonely as cloud
That floats on high O'er wales and' hills,
When all at once saw crowd
A host of golden daffodils
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never ending line
Along the margin of bay;
Ten thousand saw at glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdid the sparkling waves in glee;
A poet could not but be gay
In such jocund company;
gazed-and gaZed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.
For oft, when on my couch lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then, my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffOdils.

There is no doubt that the first idea
of suspension bridge was suggested
to primitive men by the interlacing of
tree branches and parasitlcal plants
across rivers. Probably monkeys used
them before men did. In very noun
famous countries, such as Tibet and
Peru, they have apparently been used
since the dawn of history, possibly
earlier.-Ex.

Hero Tales of Ameri=
can History.

ME above is the title of book
written by Henry Cabot Lodge
i and Theodore Roosevelt. The
book is in our library but for
some reason or other It appears under
Henry Cabot Lodges name only, while
the we'll known name of President
Roosevelt has been omitted. In this
excellent book are to be found historical
sketches of some of the heroes who
have performed deeds of valor in
various epochs of our country's history.
deeds of heroism that are written
indelibly across the pages of history
that will live for all time as a shining
example to be emulated by future
generations. Each chapter describes
briefly and in terse English the events
with which it deals without flattery or
copious advice from the authors.
The opening chapter of this book is
devoted to George Washington. 1t
portrays his home life, his stirring
career as commander in chief, and his
calm and dignifed craftsmanship as
president of our infant republic.
Daniel Boone and George Rogers
Clark are briefly treated in the follow
ing two chapters. Both of these men
were frOntiersmen and noted Indian
lighters. The exploits and deeds of
the former are known to any schoolboy
IN the land, but the achievements of
the latter, altho far greater in import
ance, are little known to the average
person. Then follows an account of
the battles of Trenton, Bennington,
Kings Mountain, and Stony Point.
All tell a wonderful story of bravery
and duty we'll performed; and the
story of each battle gives the names of
the important persons who took part
in those memorable events.
Remember the Alamo" recounts one
of the most desperate fights in Ameri-
can history, fight that is almost with
out parallel. 1t tells the reader how
David Crockett, Colonel Travis, Bowie
and his little band of one hundred and
fifty Texans held at bay Santa Anna
and his four thousand trained troops
until the former where shot down to
man.
This book also tells of the daredevil
achievement of Lieutenant Decatur in
the harbor of Tripoli. The frigate
Philadelphia had Aeen captured by the
Tripolitan pirates and was moored so
as to be under the protection of the
batteries on shore. Decatur and
small force OF men silently wended
their way into the harbor in launch,
boarded the decks of the frigate, cut
down the men whom they encountered,
and, altho they were unable to bring
her away, they set her on fire and then
beat a. retreat with slight loss. This
brilliant action is considered one of the

A gesture from the emperor's hand
caused them to replace their weapons.
Then he gave me grateful look and
without word wheeled abruptly and
left the rooms. He understood. The
next day [ was summoned to appear
before the emperor.
L was ushered Immediately into his
presence. When 1 entered [ saw he
was conversing with a young lady,
certain Mademoiselle Vrillac, very
beautiful and also very popular in
Partisan society. She was engaged to
be married to young gentleman,
fine, Open-handed fellow, and also,
incidentally, holding the rank of
viscount. His paternal estate was in
Burgundy. I started to withdraw,
thinking [ was intruding, but the
emperor motioned me to stay. Of
course could not help but hear what
they were saying and you may Judge
my stupefaction when l discovered
that mademoisel!e was pleading for
the life of her betrothed, the young
viscount, who had been sentenced to
death with the others for attempting
to assassinate the emperor the day
before. saw it all now, they thought
that killing him on the eve of his
Russian campaign would restore Louis
to the throne and bring in the ancien
regime again.
90! spare him, Sire," l heard her
moaning.
''He must die" said Napoleon coldly.
l heard her pleading and pleading,
and my heart ached for the poor girl.
At last l saw something akin to pity
dawn in the emperor's eyes. For few
moments he stood with his head bent
forward and his arms folded, and [
knew he was weighing the case in the
scales of justice, woman's love on
one side, traitors life on the other.
Which will outweigh the other, thought
At last he sat down at the table and
taking the death warrant of the Wis
count he wrote across the face in la, ge
letters, "Pardoned," and signed it with
a huge n, his signature at that time.
Mademoiselle Vrillac grasped the
document eagerly and when she had
read the word "pardoned," l saw the
sun rise in woman's face. She went
out weeping and laughing alternately.
| was very glad she had succeeded. 1t
would have ruined her life otherwise.
After mademoiselle had gone the
emperor turned to me and said icily:
ince when have you acquired the
habit of striking your superior officers,
Captain Lecompte?" His words en-
ragged me. L came expecting to be
thanked and stood accused of breach
of discipline.

"Could you not warn me?" he asked.

can instant more and it would have
been too late" He looked at me a
moment solemnly, then reaching over
he pinched my ear mischievously, an
invariable sign of good humor with
him. "You may go, Colonel Lecompte,"
he said. And that is the story of how

Il
nations in this country have of
~ late years shown diminishing
number of applicants which
annually have gone to recruit the
ranks of the ministry, and the question
naturally arises, To what is this decrease
due? Why do young men decline to
become ministers and priests? The
answer is a vital one, since in the
attitude of the younger generation
toward the religious part of their
lives we will find the clearest answer
to the hold which the church has upon
modern life.
AS religion is the greatest essential
of civilization, it behooves us to con-
slider in brief way this subject, not as
advocates of any particular creed or,
church, but as friends and guardians
of civilization.
There is a familiar explanation which
we have been given from boyhood up,
and it may be summed up as follows:
We are told this decrease is due to
worldliness; to commercialism; to the
low state of vital plety; we live, it is
said, in an age OF coarse materialism
that is destructive to religious interests.
The lust for luxuries and pleasures and
animal excitement is dominant; the
passion for riches has become
universal mania. Young men, we are
told, shun the ministry because they
are brought up in an atmosphere
saturated with the worship of mammon.
But is this all true? This may be
part of the reason, but not all. 1t is
true that rowing commercial trade is
no friend to piety; an abundance of
luxuries paralyzes the spirit and in the
lap of ease, duty falls to sleep. An
expansion of worfdliness does not bring
with it an expansion of the heavenly
spirit; and the glorifcation of wealth
as it is burning in our blood does not
inspire one to enter religious life. And
yet, however much truth there may be
in this view, it does not go to the heart
of the matter.
There seems to be no decrease in the
number of young men devoting them
selves to teaching, where the financial
and social gains are no better than in
the pulpit. In spite of our money
making craze, institutions of learning
find plenty of material to impart knowl-
edge. We cannot say that young men
adopt this calling for its life of ease, or
its financial compensations as compared
to that of the pulpit, so it seems there
must be another force that restraints
men. If then it is not the paralysis of
commercialism and worldly gain, it
must be the fear and tyranny of creed
Young men today shun the pulpit
largely because it is not place of
intellectual freedom. There are thou
sands and thousands of young men,
truly religious, who do not intend to
put themselves where growth means a
heresy trial. Their intellectual training
is such that they are repelled from
profession that means mere advocacy
of a dogma instead the good of the
whole. The young men of today
realize that to live in the world of
modern science and scholarship, and at

L WAS in the year 1912 that the
following events occurred: At
L this time the emperor was pre-
pairing to invade Russia, and
Europe was watching his gigantic
preparations with feverish appre-
hension. France at last was going to
show the world what the Latin races
can do when their fighting blood is
reused. She was preparing to strike
the Russian bear his death blow with
an enormous club composed of 100000
lighting men. 1t was the emperor's
trump card in the game of destiny. 1t
was the last move on the chess board
of fate. From the Alps to the sea, and
from the Rhine to the Mediterranean,
nothing was heard but the militant
Fdrumbeats of the nations and the far
reaching song of the bugles.
Of course, at this time, the emper or
was constantly on the lookout for any
thing that might be OF use to him in
the coming campaign. 1t came about
that a party of scientific men called
the emperor's attention to the fact that
they had just perfected new machine
called an electric battery they
claimed it was operated by newly
discovered force called "electricity,"
and petitioned that he would grant
them an audience to look into the
affairs, as the new force could be utilized
successfully in warfare. So the emperor
appointed day when he would call on
them and examine their machine which
was in house situated in the Rue de
la Quatre Septembre.
On the appointed day I, who was on
the emperor's staff with the rank of
captain, and five other aids, accompanied
him to the rendezvous. Several at
tempts had been made on the emperor's
life in the last few years, and it was
our place to keep strict lookout and
to communicate anything that seemed
at all suspicious.
When we entered the room the four
scientific men were there with their
machine, curious looking mechanism
of brass, copper, and wires. l noticed
Immediately on entering, that the
scientists all stepped to one side and
left space for the emperor in front of
the machine. Now this fact would
hardly have excited my suspicion
alone, but when l saw that the place
where the emperor would have to stand
was not ordinary flooring, but large
brass or copper plate fastened into the
floor, began to think there was mis-
chief on hand.
The emperor, all unconscious of
danger, stepped on the plate. I'M
mediately strange buzzing sound
emanated from the machine. One
of the scientists began explaining the
different parts to the emperor. My
attention was not on him but on one
of the others who was lounging care
lessly to one side. Suddenly saw his
hand stealing slowly toward small
lever on one side of the platform sup
porting the machine
With one of those flashes of intuition
that make or mar mans life I saw
the whole plot. 1t was their purpose
to destroy my master by means of this
devilish torce "electricity." With a
quick rush forward I struck Napoleon
a violent blow on the breast to send
him clear of the copper plate. He
reeled from the plate and came near
falling, then regained his balance.
