lift my eyes in prayer to thee,
Over the isles in the shining sea.
TO the hills that stand along the shore,
And keep the land forevermore.
They have guarded it in many storms,
Through many dangers, many wrongs.
Since the days they met the Sons of France,
Aud raised bar to their advance.
No one can doubt in the future, too,
Fresh trials and tribulations new
Will come to our country year by year,
AS it moves along in its career
To God | raise my heart on high,
Over the hills unto the sky,
Beseeching Him that He will keep,
Like shepherd watching DER his sheep,
In the future safe, as in the past,
AS long as the great hills may last,
Our country free from wrong and greed,
And things which to dishonor lead.
And make US to maintain the right,
With all our souls and all our might,
Without regard to joy or pain,
No thought of loss, no hope OF gam;
That we refuge sure may be
From every human tyranny,
AS Thou our help hast ever been
When struggling with the powers OF sin.

rounding towns for some trace OF the
negroes connected with the case
through this new turn of the affair
The state police have had under
surveillance young negro. whom
they expect to arrest, and they still
think they have strong case against
Mr.. Mason. about whom they claim
to have woven a strong web of circum-
stantial evidence. They claim they
can connect the movements of Mason
With those OF the negro and that there
is business connection between
them.
The locating of the watch of Miss
Agnes McPhee is added evidence to
the identical origin of the two crimes,
and the fact that the two watches
were found in the same pawnshop still
further points to one man, whoever
he may be, as the author Of the out
RACES.
AS in the case of Miss Morton, the
man who took possession of the watch
which Miss McPhee carried at the
time she was struck down seems to
have lost little time in placing his
booty in the hands of a second hand
dealer. Miss McPhee was attacked on
the night of Oct. 8. Her watch was
l.awned the next day. Mr. Nemser
says he procured it from dark man,
with a Roman nose, and small black
rlustache, who wore a SLOUGH hat and
striped coat and vest.

they can prove an alibi for him The

found, but Superintendent Elder of the
Beaver Brook reservation, raking in
the west part Of Handyside Lake,
brought to light rusty iron file
Weighing about eight pounds with the

was also found
Herbert Higgins, teamster and driv-
er of the Convalescent House ambu-
lance wagon, said:

culvert, and ran for short distance
mp the road, in the direction of the
administration building.
Half an hour later this man was
seen by Hugh Fisher, fireman in one
of the hospital buildings, lettering
near some shrubbery"
Superintendent Elder saw a man he
las since identified as Mason coming
from the vicinity of Handyside Lake
and it is on the strength of this most
positive evidence that the lake was
drained.
The state police laugh at the idea of
a weakening Of the case against Alan
Gregory Mason, the wealthy manu-
facturer accused of the murder of
Clara Morton and suspected of many
other crimes. This, despite the state
nent of Pawnbroker Nemser, who
says a negro tried on the night of the
murder to pawn the watch stolen from
Miss Morton's body.
As matter OF fact this attempt of
Chief Watts of the Boston detec-
tive force to prove Mason innocent
has rebounded. Indisputable evidence
has been found to show that the watch

was offered on Sunday, and the theory

ODER is the best living authority on
Spanish America, daring and adven-
turous traveller and a writer of books
in which romance and adventure are
set forth with singular fascination.
His many tropical voyages have made
him thoroughly familiar with the
swashbuckling freebooters of the Span
ish main, and when he writes of them
we hear clash of cutlass and boarding
pike and roar of culverins, while over
sun kissed waters faunts the sable
blazon of the brethren of the sea-"
Here is a story comparable in interest
to Stevenson's Treasure Island"
sturdy boy is captured, with all on
board his uncle's ship, by Mansveldt,
one of the most notorious of the pirates
that once iafested the blue Caribbean.
Compelled against his will to join the
band of freebooters, adventures come
thick and fast to the lad, and enough
hairbreadth escapes are woven into
the story to satisfy the most exacting
of boy readers.
Cities are sacked and converts
burned, and then it is away again,
wolves of the sea-" and tall galleons
deep laden with precious ingots and
trails of pearls fall to them. All these
activities move on in the most approved
buccaneering fashion, and the boy who
gets the book has a treat in store for
him. RICHARD UPPER.

The Sterilizing Age.

If the bacteriOlOgists tell us we must
scrub the mouthpieces of telephones
once a day to get rid of dangerous
bacilli, of course we must obey orders
from such a source. But why once a
day only? The last user of the phone
may have deposited disease germs in
the mouthpiece. Is it not necessary
to scrub after each user?
Then there are the doorknobs-ter-
rible lurking places of infection. Should
we not have these scrubbed as soon as
use has, possibly, made them deadly?
And the straps and handrails of street
cars-it is an old story that these are
thick with bacterial colonies. II this
fear of possible and impossible infec-
ton from invisible sources gets stron5
enough we may get as scared as the
Salemites in the days of witchcraft.-
