A Strange Act Of Faith,

trib0 were converted by medicine
man, who induced them to slaughter
their cattle and destroy their corn,
promising that new herds, which no
man could number, would on GER
tain day spring from the soil. They
obeyed his teaching to the letter,
and q hideous famine which all but
exterminated the tribe was the nat
ural consequence. Rarely on this
earth has any race enjoyed the tre-
mendous exaltation through which
this tribe must have passed before
it perpetrated its stupendous act of

Errors That Have crept into Well

We are ell liable to make mis-
takes. For this reason We should
mot be too critical in the treatment
OF our fellows. Still the critical
part of our nature is so largely de-
yeloped that we sometimes forget
to be charitable, especially when the
criticism may cause an error to be
righted. x q q
Some one has been hunting for
errors in the writings Of old and
new authors. He has run down
some funny mistakes as a result of
his quest too.
In "Ivanhoe" Sir Walter Scott
makes knight of Richard I. con-
verse with q contemporary of Viii
liam the Conqueror, who was Rich
ard's grandfather.
The new moon appears in the
western sky and sets from the mo-
ment it becomes visible, but in ssThe

caused q new moon to rise in the
east at 2 o'clock in the morning.
Trollope makes one of his char
acters, Andy Scott, come whistling
up the street with cigar in his
mouth. The man must have had a
wonderful grip IT. his lips to smoke
while whistling.
In 'Don Quixote" Sancho contin-
ues to ride on his donkey after hav-

In 1The Reign Of Law" by James

IS sometimes a matter of many days,

rubbed off in q moment, and no ono
would ever know that it had ever
