A LAKE FILLED WITH DEAD.
Driven by Flames, Beasts Take Refuge
in the Water.

have heard that in such supreme mo-
ments the fercest animals forget their
ferocity. Something like that must have
occurred here, for pears and deer, minIs
and squirrels were mingled in the DeStif
erous mass unfortunately.
Probably the only struggle Mt all was
for loGSment ON the backs of the already
dead. The hides were beginning to fall
of the bodies of the animals, leaving an
unsightly mass as displeasing to the eyes
as to the nostrils. Several of the people
who went to visit the lake afterwards
were forced to turn back by the stencil.
Duval has included his story in his
report made at headquarters and reports
townships 4 and 5 as also completely
cleaned out by the forest holocaust which
killed the wild animals in such quantity.

Gambling Among Fashionable Girls

There is nothing of the spirit if sensa-

Howe's social position enables here to
make for herself. That she has album

to which play may be carried everyone

GOD IN NATURE.

Oh men that darkcn life, you dream

And laugh ut any railing God

Have Won surveyed all Nature round,
Proved well the clnd that you have found
AS great as God DER life and death?
SAY. have you marked its living breath:
FAKE one poor little life from out
Tho common Clod, yOu do not doubt,
And trace the wonder of design
Till justice falters, It's divine.
Can you with cunning learning make
An insect that shall warm breath take?
Nav Plato could not make it glow,
Nor even Michael Angelo.
Paint me the glory of the grass
That doth all purple state surpass:
Then tell me whence the wind doth come,
And where it gees when II Is dumb.
Reveal why in the self-same bed
The lily's white, the rose is red
Why color with unseeming power
Is different in each different flower.
Translate the language Of the oak,
AS though In living words IL spoke
From out its mighty heart and strong,
The meaning of its ancient song.
Sing me the song Of all the sea
In moving wistful melody;
Tnroll it's sebbing swell and fall.
Say why waves make song at all.
Then sweep the llllmitable sky,
And with great wisdom tell me why
The everlasting stars are there,
And lay eternal mystery bare.

A Sad Accident.

A very sad accident occurred at
the Thornwell Orphanage Tuesday
morning, May 18th. The centrl~

burst, portion of it striking Miss
Anna Anderson, one of the orphan

laundry to speak to some one. The
piece of steel broke both her arms
and dreadful1y mangled her body.
The child died in a few minutes
after the accident.
She was a Swedish girl Of prom
