From Harpers Weekly.
"The one thing most resented by
Americans" observed Senator Bev-
eridge recently, lis the dictatorial at
titude which some men attempt to as
sumo Much of the biting satire which
we hear is the result of such arrogant
presumption.
"a congregation In Eastern Illinois
had decided to erect new church edi-
fee and temporary accommodations
were obtained in an abandoned thea
ire.

and pompous bearing, directed the eff
forts of his sexton, who was busily en-
gagged in cleaning up the accumulated
rubbish. Pieces of scenery, wrecked
stage furniture, programmes, litho-
graphs and musty draperies were
thrust into the flames.
"Tet nothing be wasted, William,
warned the preacher, imperiously.
Whatever may be utilized, lay 1t aside
and will dispose of it later
"a few moments later the clergyman
saw the sexton draw near the fire with
a massive, easel-like arrangement.
William, he called, don't destroy
that; 1t may be of service
Hardly grunted the perspiring
sexton as he tossed the affair into the
flames; it's an old sign, standing

left with the two boats for Blacklead
Island 600 miles north of the station,
to obtain provisions. But after worm
ing our way for over 100 miles through
the ice We had to give up.
Arriving back at the station after
our desperate attempt to reach Black
lead, | found that Canadian steamer
had called and left letters during our
absence She steamed in few hours
after we left for our boat voyage. Alas,
luck was against us.
Natives reported that the ship
would call for me on Its return from
Hudson Straits, but after waiting f1f.
teen days for her, / resolved to try for
Blacklead Island once more and ascer-
tain what had become of the boat,
which had not returned with me to
the station. 1t was about September
20 that we met the other boat, return
ing, after skirting the ice for fifty
miles east and west to find lead, but
none existed.
1--WE therefore returned to the sta
ton to face a second winter, with no
fuel, no mineral oil and very little am
munition. Our stores consisted Of a
little tobacco, coffee, beans and flour.
in March, 1905, sent some natives
overland, promising new rifle II they
were successful in reaching Blacklead
with a letter. They reached their des.
tination after five weeks perilous trav-
eling-a journey l had performed IN
the fine weather in five days. The ma
tives, however, would not return! AS
no news came from Blacklead, | re-
solved to make another attempt, with
one boat only, leaving the other at the
station, and in this, after incredible
hardship, succeeded. but with con-
siderable pain and prostration. Now
learned the mystery why no ship
reached us in 1904. The vessel was
wrecked close by the land, and that
accounted for our detention!
Provisions were so scarce that
applied to the missionaries for food !;
but for some reason they refused me,
and had to accept native biscuits for
my sustenance, and live with them
In their igloos like an animal, and
without doctor, of whom l stood in
much need.

we were beginning to despair of get

Marked Contrast.
There is no greater contrast between
