A NOTED PREACHER

One of the most noted Episcopal
clergymen in the west Is Rev. DR.. Clin-
ton Locke, the dean of the church in
Chicago. For Al years he has been as
ISOLATED with Grace church in that
city.
Clinton Locke WAS born In New York
city la 1929. From the public schools
he went to the academy at Sing Sing,
and from the academy he went to
Union college at Schenectady, from
which he was graduated In 1S49. Then
he became \ private tutor for two
years, after which he entered the n
erxl seminary of the church. In 1856
he was ordained deacon at Dobb's
Ferry. From there he was called to q
Joliet Cll) church. :
In 1859 Or. Locke was called TO
Grace church. then = small parish with
q small building, In Chicago. He
found 1t struggling congregation,
and, as the shepherd of the little flock,
he gave 1t all the force and strength
of his character. The church grew I'M
der his ministry.
In 1854 DR.. Locke took the initiative
In founding a church hospital. His
congregation was with him, and st.
Luke's was founded in that year, an
institution that for years has taken a
front place in the hospitals OF the big
western city.

veloped, and increased in severity un-

just embodied the results of long
journey through Asia in his book. "The
Awakening of the East" leaves an i'm
preston of Siberia which makes it
more like America than any other part
of Europe He even mentions the mis-
leading cities of the land, as remind
ing him of the thoroughfares of Chi
cago, they are so bad. In all the larg-
er towns the telephone is in use, and
at smaller rental than is charged in
the country of its invention. Electric
lighting, too, prevails in the three or
four larger towns, and trolley cars are
far from being unknown; in fact, the
innumerable poles with swinging,
crossing wires in all the streets make
the city view a most American one.
In some things the Siberian city peo-
pie appear to have an advantage.
Cabs ply the streets ON demand for
sixpence, the fare, and make much bet

Tomsk boasts thriving university

while M. Leroy-Beaulieu was there,

Old Friends.

Olu FFicnuss
All yes, our hands met here and there,
Our wandering eyes met now and
then,
About Life's crowded thoroughfare-
But coldly seeing we we're men.
And looks are slight, and hands are
slow,
And words so hard to say, and
weak;
Even the best the poets know
Mean more than even t-ey can
speak.
Then Death struck lightning through
the air;
A rock was rent, set free heart;
And two old friends communion share
When one lies speechless and
apart.

doctor gave the necessary surgical
aid, and the young man was brought

He will probably be laid up for a

life. Football has run a very close
record to the corn shredder thus far

is that there is necessity to run corn
shredders but there is no necessity for
football.
