Mr.. Shinn. who spoke against putting

The utterances of Mr.. Shinn were
made in manner that was convincing

There was some disturbance last Sat-

with too much red liquor, and whom
Marshall Russell undertook to keep
them quiet, they resented it. There
was fight, and some of the boys landed

them a hearing Monday morning and
gave them dose which will cause them
to reflect, before they get INTO another

The Spirit Of Caste. James 2. 10;
Matt. %. 8.12.

Caste is that spirit which separates
people into classes. It comes from
those who think of themselves more
highly than they ought to think. They
who foster and perpetuate this tenn
per are apt to regard themselves as
the elite, the bon ton. They hold
themselves aloof from the average
grade of humankind. The Pharisees
displayed this spirit. Peter exper-
fenced it until his housetop vision of
tolerance assured him that God is no
respecter of superficial distinctions,
He looks upon the real life. Caste is
always a mark OF the provincial view
Of things.
Here is an offensive form Of caste
known chiefly in our own land, where
fortunes are often made suddenly.
The attempt of a family that has come
into possession OF fortune unexpect.
edly to play the role OF rich folks" is
ludicrous. Appointments are changed
and new styles adopted. They roll in
luxury, their heads are turned by the
whirl of dollars. They seem intoxicat'
ed with their new-found possessions,
Moral standards are lowered. Ideals
are marred. Values are not sanely es'
timaed. They are inflated with the
delusion that they have risen a notch
or two. But in reality they have
dropped in the scale OF true worth.
Never should we envy such an order
OF deceived mo,tals.
Like commercial stock, blood may
sometimes be watered. But there is
genuine blue blood, that stands for
what Is best in the heritage OF noble
qualities. In its lineage It, may be no

legitimate rewards Of upright living.

Curious Fact in Natural History.

An incident which will be interest
ing to naturalists is told in a recent
number of the Scotsman. One of the
foresters in the employ of the Mar
quls OF Lothian was returning from
his work when he noticed wild duck
flying from a larch tree. On close
examination he observed common
brown owl looking down from what
appeared to be nest in the cleft o.
the tree about thirty feet from the
ground, and apparently near the placs
from which the duck had flown. Curl
osity prompted him to climb to tho
place, which he did with great dim
Guilty. The owl on his approch flew
off, and to his surprise he found IL
the nest two eggs-an owls and
wild ducks. II Is not uncommon fol
both owls and ducks to build theii
nests high up on trees, but 1t is un'
heard OF for one nest to be appro-
priated by. both birds.-New York
