in Australia, declared by the late emf

Mueller, to date from the sixteenth
century.
Under this old tree was the favorite-
seat and open-air study of DIR. Moore
house, now bishop of Manchester, dur
ing the ten years that he occupied the
see of Melbourne
A lady visitor having once suggest
ed that tobacco was of satanic origin,
Bishop Moorehouse replied:
Pardon me, madam. / smoke, and
am better Christian for doing so. Do
you read my letters in the papers?''
The lady replied that she did, with
pleasure.

We'll, madam, the first drafts of

That we rattle OF, so patti
It's not a healthy doctrine.
For it brings too little cheer.
Don't say, My days a-comin -

None of the days is labeled,

For the best that you can do.

Don't say: My days a-coming-

GETTING Whisky Into Camp.

1.-THE first Christmas l spent in the
army was very dismal one" remark
ed Lieut. Crate of the Northeastern
district the other day. Lieut.. Crate
saw hard service in the Confederate
Army during the Civil War.
4 remember how the authorities got
next to the fact that lot of whisky
was being struggled into the camp and
how the boys managed to outwit them
and get the liquor anyhow in time for
Christmas.
There was a baker who furnished
the camp with bread. After a short
time it was noticeable that every time
the baker visited the camp there was
a large number of the boys who were
forced to do penance for being drunk,
an offence that was strictly prohibit
ed The authorities set a watch, with
the result that one day when the baker
arrived his stock of bread was in,
spected and a number of bottles of
good old whisky discovered baked in
several of the loaves. The entire load
was confiscated and sent to headquar-
tiers. where no doubt, it was deeply
appreciated.
For some time the boys were at
their wits end to contrive some
scheme to smuggle the whisky into
the camp without being detected, and
at last one of the crowd, who liked his
little nip so well that he could not
forego the pleasure any longer, con-
trived an ingenious plan that was a
bowling success from the start and
lasted for a long time before it was
eventually found out When one of
the boys went down into town he
would buy a common earthen jug and
a number of hog bladders. The blad-
ders were placed in the jug in such a
way that the openings hung outside
The next visit was made to where the
whisky was obtainable.
Each bladder was then carefully
filed with the liquor, the neck tied
up and let drop into the jug. After
the jug was filled with as many blad-
ders as was necessary, the next call
would be made to grocery, where the
space between the bladders and the
of the jug would be filled with mo-
lasses- Coming back to camp the man
with the jug would be halted by the
sentry, who would dip his finger in
the jug to see what it contained, and,
finding nothing but m0lasses, would
permit the owner to pass. When quar-
tiers were reached the molasses was
carefully drawn off, after which the
jug was broken and the bladders of
whisky distributed to those who had
contributed toward the purchase. 1t
was many a long day before it was
found out where the soldiers secured
their ables-'-Baltimore Sun.

Messrs Jackson and Booth and the Misses Coughlan and Shannahan advanced telling ar guments in favor of the affirmative. but Messrs Ludington and Skilton and the Misses Reither and Altman offered such convincing proof that such viola ton of the navigation acts could not be justified that the judges, Principal Wilby, MessrS Redwood and Finn and the Misses Weiner and O'Connor, awarded them the decision. .Recita- tions were well delivered by Messfs McGraw and Bolger and the Misses O'Connor and Blacker. The subject of the next debate, which will be held on December IS. will be Resolved, That President Roosevelt was too nasty in recognizing Panama as re- public" The, speakers will be as fol- lows: Affirmative, Messrs Tyack and Vaughan, and the Misses Culhane and Kelly; negative, Messrs McGraw and Schmitz, and the Misses Healey and Mcdonald.

S., of Lewiston, Me. Harvard had the choice of sides. the question having been sub mitted by Yale, and she had chosen the negative. Her speakers were ni. wood M. Rabeold, 1904. of Reading, ra; Morton D. Weldy of New sharon, Ia. and Ferdinand 0. Morton of Washing ton. D. c.
 The judges of debate were Dev W. H. P. Faunce president of Brown uni versity; General Francis V. Greene. commissioner of police in New York city, and Hon John c. Mflburn Of Buff falo.
