We must have more sympathy for those
who have been caught in the tides of
skepticism and pessimism. The Christian
world has done scant justice to this class
of people We should understand them
better and appreciate them more if we
could put ourselves in their places and
look at things from their point of view

He stepped into the room. and bowing
low. said. with a smile:
Don't distress yourself. dear lady; we

boy Mortara--are we, my lad?" he asked,
laying his weil-formed white hand on the
boys shoulder
But for the long black robe, and the
round shaven spot I'm the centre OF his
curly hair, no one would have imagined
this man to be a priest. There was moth
ing about his manner or appearance that
gave one the idea OF his sacred calling.
He had neither tho subdued. reserved

lives within himself. nor the softened.

customed TO scenes OF sorrow and sadness
His voice was loud and commanding. and
his manner and gestures those OF a fin

Frau Lohn courtesied. and answered re-
spectfully. but with repressed anger and
impatience:

for her"
A sarcastic smile darted round his
mouth for a second as he replied, shrug-
ging his shoulders:

In the meantime, Lame had noiselessly

was about TO answer, but the expression

not TO discuss such a theme with this
passionate. eloquent man in the lonely
position in which she so unfortunately
found herself
Coldly and haughtily she replied:

The priest turned pale. Somewhat dis

gave a swift, searching glance at the
bride, who had slightly moved away, ere
he replied with ironical gravity:

meeting was In violation Of the rules Of
the council and IN violation OF the laws
OF the state. which Axes the salaries of
the commissioners and directs that the
cities shall pay the same the rrst OF every
month. There was very little discussion
on the matter. -Four Republican members

The visitors were heavy lot of
line-buckers, and included several
veteran varsity players from Han

Dartmouth's star eleven of 1903,
Gen. Kuroki Grover, and another
anonymous member of the same
command. All were players of more
experience than the locals and out
weighed them Is or 90 pounds to a
man.
Woodstock had the first kickoff;
the ball was downed in about the
center of the field and the functions
rushed the ball over the line for a
touchdown in few minutes of play.
Woodstock kicked off again and
after scrimmage or two Prof. Pet
teson made an end run from the cen
ter of the field for touchdown.
The functions kicked off to Mar
cote, who was downed in his tracks.
The call of time stopped further
scoring.
In the second half the functions
made low kick to Pember, who fell
on the ball. The locals couldn't
keep it and the invaders again rush
ed it over the line for touchdown,
following tumble or two by the
home team.
The local men, however, are not
by any means disheartened by theil
defeat and mean to get together ano
