moved with concord of sweet sounds,

only flutes and lutes of that inoffen-

sang only carolled and trolled about
1oWers and love and shepherdesses.
Shakespeare never heard piano, nor

The Conquerer of Death.

O, Grave thou hast thy victory
Beauty and strength are laid with thee
Yet than earth's mightiest mightier,
Long in thy night was man forlorn,
Long didst thou laugh Ills hope to scorn
Till rose the Conquerer of Death
The humble man of Nazareth.
He stood between us and despair,
He bore and gave us strength to bear;
The mysteries of the grave unsealed;
Our glorious destiny revealed.
Our home is not this mortal cline.
Our liIe hath not it's bounds in time;
And death is but the cloud that lies
Between our souls and Paradise

Germany's Machine Industry.

The machine industry of Germany
was never in worse condition than at
present. Two reasons are given for
the decline: First, the great depres-

strides in the use of gas engines and
steam turbines within the last few
years.

SCOTT LOVED BY ANIMALS.

Dumb Pets Particular Fondness for
Great Author.
Somewhat akin to the story of the
March II is the following narrative
in the life of Sir Walter Scott, illus
trating his fondness for animals and
their attachment to him. l find it in
volume entitled "Stories of Remark
able Persons" by the late DR.. William
Chambers, who gives Sir Walters
SON in-law, Lockhart, as voucher for:
the authenticity of the story:
AT Abbotsford, in the autumn of
1920, when large party, including Sir
Humphrey Davy, DR.. Wollaston and
Henry Mackenzie were sallying out
Scott on his pony, with Mazda gam
boiling about him-there was some
commotion and laughter when it was
discovered that little black pig was
frisking about and apparently resolved
to be one of the party for the day.
Scott tried to look stern, and cracked
his whip at the creature, but was in a
moment obliged to join in the gener-
al cheers. Poor piggy was sent home.
This pig, says Lockhart, had taken,
nobody could tell how, most senti-
mental attachment to Scott, and was
constantly urging his pretensions to
be admitted a regular member of his
tail along with the greyhounds and
terriers; but, indeed, remember him

Since the crushing defeat Of Hon. 10
seph c. Wysor for Congress in the
Ninth District, there Is talk that former
Congressman W. F. Rhea, of Bristol, will
lii.ely stand for the nominations in 1908.
Judge Rhea was the Democratic clcctor
for the district on the Parker and Davis
ticket, and thus kept himself in close
touch with the voters. lie represented
the district In Congress for Two terms,
and was defeated by Colonel Slemp by
less than 300 majority III 1902 while the
latter's majority over Mr.. Wysor was
moro than 1900. Bristol Democrats have
way of saying that the Democracy of

to pit against Colonel Slcmpg
