Applied Religion.

Robbie belonged to a severely or.
thodox family. He was taught to fear
nothing, and trust God. He often
heard his grandfather remark that
he "trembled for Sinners" and this
expression saved Robbie in an hour Of
need.
One night there was a terrific
thunderstorm. Robbie stood it az
long as possible, then fed to hi.
mothers room.
"Robbie, + you afraid?' asked
she.
"No, ma'am."
"You know God can take care 4
you as well in the storm as at other
times?"
"Oh, vest"
."Then what r you shaking for?"
"Mother, 1 was thinking Of sinners,
and I thought that I would come
down and tremble with you for
them."-Brooklyn Life.

FIGHT WITH ESKIMO DOGS.
., situation from Witch an
Arctic Traveller Had to Ex'r'-
cate Himself.

In a long journey by sled, in the
region of Great Bear lake, MI Esei-
ton r. Young had a trying adventure
with Eskimo dogs, which he relates IN
.My Dogs in the Northland." he hao
travelled several days with his own
dogs to the point where the dla
were to meet him and replace 1he
tired dogs with fresh ones. "nen IN.
dogs were changed lbs guide, VINO hao
accompanied him throughout the Jour-
ney to this point, gave him a heavy
whip and said: Now do not SPEAK
a word and there will be no trouole.
They do not like white people, but II
YOU do not speak to them they VIII
never suspect, in their anxiety to get
home" !.
Il looked the fierce brutes over,
says Mr.. Young, placed my heA'y
whip so l could instantly seize 1t u
made up my mind that l was IN Tor
a wild ride. The owner OF the dogs
applied his long whip-lash to them'
and away we started at a furious
gallop.
I'VE had Travelled some distance
when l was startled by a splendid
black fox, which dashed out OF a rocky
island on our left. He struck across
our trail, and made for another island
of rocks half a mile to our right.
1.-THE dogs fell into disorder ana

yet to go, it was not safe to be racing
after d fox on this great lake. So
l resolved to break the silence and
bring the dogs back to the trail, ever
if l had to fight them.
"Bracing myself on my knees,
gripped the heavy whip so that l could
use the handle of it as 4 club. Then
l shouted TO the dogs in Indian to stop
and turn to the left.
The instant they heard my voice
they did stop-so suddenly that my
c%ariole went sliding on, past the rear
dog of the train. They came at me
furiously. The leader of the train,
the t%iercest of the four, began the at
tack. 1t was well for me that he
did, for he swung the others about into
such a position that only one at a time
could reach me. AS he sprang to meet
me l guarded my face with one hand,
which | wrapped in the furs, while
belabored the dog over the head with
the oak handle of the whip.
"Three or four good blows were all
that he needed. With a howl he
dropped on the ice, while the next one
in the train tried to get hold of me

Only one wellinEton.

That was a graceful compliment
which was paid to the duke Of Wei
lington by Queen Victoria. Not every
one recalls the fact that a certain
style of high boots, not commonly
worn nowadays, bore the name OF
Wellington.
When the duke was prime minister
he once visited Windsor castle to con
suit with the queen on an important
state matter. The day was damp,
following q heavy rain, and as the
duke left the castle her majesty re-
marked, = nope your grace is well

"Ols," said the duke, 81 have on q

The queen retorted: "Your a

So,
Back to the %fancy-hung Long Ago
To the old-fashioned house in the dusty
lane
And be for a moment a boy again.
I would like to go back where the fields
are green
And wander across to the old creeks

I would like to stand in the JOY serene
OF the shadowy peace of the Long Ago.
I would like just one glance at the even
tide
OF the misty mornings with dew aglow
At the spot where the sparrows were
Wont to hide,
And the fields where the wild-flowers
used to grow.
I would like just one drink from the old

I would feel if I could the mystic spell
That ever clings round what we call Long

favorable comment after every issue

II believe" he himself said one
day, that this Henry Page Esmond

bubbling oyer with fun. and his wit
is keen and delicate. I believe his art
will find expression in something
higher than caricature, too" And
with that Mr.. Winters launched forth
into a long and learned discussion of
the principles of true art in general
