that artistic genius and business acu-
men rarely go hand in hand. The
trusting artist did not properly protect
his rights, and the INSCRIPTIONS dealer
discovered means of evading the pay
ment of royalties. Many thousands Of
reproductions were scattered broadcast
throughout the Christian world, for
the home without it's copy of "The
Rock Of Ages" is rare, and the dealer
amassed a fortune for himself, while
the artist was the richer only by the
proceeds Of the copies that came from
his own hand and by the first photo
graphs.
The artist eventually took orders In
the Episcopal ministry and went into
missionary work in the mountains of
North Carolina. Here he preached and
painted. Some years ago he went to
Washington and built his studio in the
suburb Of the capital. He has a de-
voted home circle, who admire him
and his works. All of the latter have
a Scriptural application. The last one
shows the walk to Gethsemane Of
Christ and his disciples.

ANIMALS WANDERlNGS.
Rats the Most Migratory-Lemm INNINGS
Race with Death.

Rats the Most Migratory-Le
Race with Death.
The fable of the country mouse and
the town mouse has a foundation in
fact. Mice occasionally migrate in
large numbers when food grows scarce,
and travel considerable distances to
fresh houses. Farmers in a part of
Perthshire had good reason to be-
come aware Of this fact when, couple
OF years ago, vast swarms Of mice in
vaded their cornfelds at harvest time.
But the mouse only travels when ii
has to. The rat, on the contrary, seems
to take yearly outing, in very much
the same fashion as do human beings.
Rats are the most migratory creatures
in the world. Whole troops of rats
leave the towns at the end Of summer
and spend month Or two in the coun-
try, apparently in order to enjoy the
change Of food which the country af-
fords at that time Of the year in the
way of fresh fruit and grain. Before
the cold weather sets in they are all
back in their old quarters.
Reindeer migrate with the same reg.
ularity as swallows. They move south
when winter sets in, but as soon as
ever the snow begins to melt they
travel steadily north, sometimes for as
much as a thousand miles.
To end holiday by deliberate sui.
eide is so strange phenomenon that
for long time naturalists looked up.

jennings as an improbable fiction.
Yet the facts are beyond dispute. AT

prey hover above them. Foxes, wolves
and man decimate them. Thousands

At the meeting Of the Religious Edu-
cational Association in Boston Bishop
Lawrence made some excellent re-
marks on the power and value of
wealth. Other speakers had referred
to the age as materialiStic and had
deplOred the fact that it was devoted
to commercialism. Without refuting
anything that had been said the bishop
of Massachusetts spoke on the import
ance of money and especially it's value
in connection with spiritual and in
tellectual matters. "Why is it," said
Bishop Lawrence, that we are some
times afraid Of the enormous increase
of wealth? Increase Of wealth is one.
of the greatest opportunities Of this
country and we ought to glory in it
and rejoice in it just as any man ought
to rejoice in the increase of his ply
steal strength, provided he has the
mind and heart and the character to
handle his physique" The tone of
Bishop Lawrence is the more remark
able because it seems to be the part
of the clergy and Of the college pro-
fessor in these days to decry wealth
and the amount of attention given to
the acquisition of it. Not that the
clergy and the college professor do not
want money, for they are always beg
ging from men Of wealth, but they
berate the spirit that prompts the pur
suit of it and do not appreciate the
fact that the business man must give
himself unweariedly to the acquisition
of a fortune exactly as tive scholar
must give his days and nights to the
pursuit of knowledge. Bishop Lawrence
placed the stress where it should be
placed. He accented the necessity of
spiritual and moral development along
with acquisition of riches. He has no
fear for the increase Of ma terial
wealth either by the individual man
or by the nation if along with it there
is growth in mind, heart and char
acter. There is an insincersty in con-
stantly begging for money and then
formally denouncing those who make a
business of earning it. Bishop Law
rence's position is consistent mot to
fear the increase Of wealth, but to fear
the loss Of the inspiration Of religion
and Of the intelligence which ought to

Gum Nets Santa He S11.5OO.

Some interesting statistics have been
compiled showing how trifling articles
count up in a year on the Santa Fe
system. In the 400 stations between
Chicago and the Pacific coast are slot
machines containing gum. Into these
machines last year were dropped 1, $780,
600 pennies for gum, the sum being
$11,5O0.
The pins used by officials and en-
ployes of the Santa Fe system last year
weighed 5000 pounds. To keep the de-
pots. and offices clean 10000 brooms
were used. The lead pencils used, If
placed end to end, would make a line
over 325 miles long. Fifty barrels Of
ink and 100000 pens were used.
From what is known as the "scrap
heap" the company realized last year
100000. This included almost every
thing from a single nail to a WORKOUT
locomotive. Over $1,000 was realized
from the sale of waste paper alone

unable in it's frailty to reach a haven
Of rest, turns to this cross crowned
rock and finds in it it's only hope of
salvation. 1t is a beautiful symbol,
In which there are elements of pathos
and Of strength. To the mind Of the
artist it is inspiring and hence it is
that from it has been taken the most
widely-circulated picture Of modern
times, whose title is that Of the hymn
itself and which idealizes especially

The painter Of this picture is Jo-

whose home is in a pretty suburb of

is a familiar one on the highways out

a firm step, despite his eighty-one
years. His head is erect, his eye keen
and piercing. the whole bearing that
Of a man alive and alert in every cell
of mind and body. The old man may
also at times be seen propelling a tri-
cycle along the frozen country road,
his white locks floating behind him in

the ups and downs Of life as viewed
from wheels in Virginia. Or perchance

One Kansas City policeman cannot
go to the theaters because he laughs
so long and loud at every joke that he
stops the performance. He was put on
a beat where his duty took him inside
theater for a few minutes every
evening, and he asked to be changed,
because he said the theatep people
wouldn't let him stag inside, even
when he bought ticket.
Before he was married he took his
sweetheart to show once, but at the
end of the second act the manager
touched him on the back and said he
would have to get out. He had all the
actors laughing.
"But 1 paid to see this show" pro-
tested the policeman. IF you put me
out 1 shall insist on your giving my
money back"
"We1l be glad to do that all right"
said the manager.
And they did.
