tic as that which has been going on at
Marines. near Pontoise. during the last
six years. In 1898 an old lady bought
a house in the Boulevard de la Repub-
lie. and went to live in it. A few days
after she took up her residence a gang
of sailors arrived. The men at once
commenced digging operations, under
directions of soothsayer, who was
the companion of the holder Of the
house. The object of the operations
was to find a subterranean passage in
which treasure was supposed to have
been buried in the thirteenth century.
After six months labor the sailors
struck work. They received no pay.
Then followed an incident of revolver
shots. which had its denouement in
the Pontoise police court. After num-
erous stoppages the work was re-
sumed, and continues at the present
time

in favor of the Christian life as a
normal one is that of experience The

We live in an age which demands

fierce and continuous for weak body

stay on earth is to be measured by
the amount and kind of life that we

HUMAN SYMPATHY.
There are many women in the city
of Chicago disconnected and bored in
the midst of af1uence and sumptuOus
surroundings who would be amazed
to find what JOY there could be in re-
moving all their jewels and beautiful
gowns and going in plain garb to the
homes of the sick and oppressed. not
to give charity or to hand out aid
with a gloved hand, but to speak as
/ one sister speaks to another. There
are women who do this, and to those
who look with discernment they are
seen wearing diadems more beautiful
than any resting on the head of the
aspirant for social fame. A little
circle of strong men with trained
minds and hands standing around 4

Following the example of the Sum

years meetings to study of the life
and teachings of Jesus. The import
ance of this to the ethical life of the
nation is considerable. Approximately,
i've million young persons most of
them still in the formative period, viii
read and discuss for ffty-two weeks
the great, chara cter-b building themes
of the Perfect Life in all its phases.
This contemplation is bound to beget
emulation. by looking to Jesus. like
Him thou shalt be-" the hymn has it;
new nobility, vision. usefulness and
grasp of life should result from this
years journey in the footsteps of the
Man of Nazareth.
The greatest service of noble lives is
done by the uplift they impart to other
lives.
Jesus lived humanity that man
might live divinely.
The entire gamut Of human exper-
fence was run by Jesus, who thus
touched life at every point in order
that he might be to every son of wo-
man complete and understanding
and sympathetic friend. AS the Book
says, He was tempted in all points
IKE as we are" and again, "In that He
Himself hath suffered, being tempted,
he IS able to succor them that are
tempted"
This is the day of the child. Not
always IS it remembered that the Won
derful consideration which childhood
now receives is due largely to the spirit
and teaching of the One who has as
cended to earth's highest throne by
way of that first couch in the Beth
lehem manger, Of the Carpenter
nome, of bOyhood in the Nazareth
nils, of manhood of toll, sharing the
common lot of the plain people. and
OF ministry and suffering so unique
that no other life has ever touched its
limit. A knowledge of the Life helps
US to comprehend all life. Because ii
learned to reverence and honor the

dignity to all childhood everywhere.

WILL HAVE NEW GUARD
President Roosevelt Is Protected Every
 Hour of the Day and Night.

Washington, D. C.. June 22.- Practically an entire change in the personnel of the secret service off, cers who guard the president and his family at Oyster Bay will be made this year. John F. Wilkie, chief of the secret service. draws each sum- mer upon his force of operatives from all parts of the country to obtain the most trustworthy men to place around the president at his Oyster Bay home. It is necessary that the work of looking after the personal safety of the president should be done by the secret service at Oyster Bay, because the town affords none of its citizens adequate police protection.
 It is practically impossible for a visitor to reach the president at night during his soiourn at Sagamore Hill unless he shall have made an engagement. No discretionary au- thority Is lodged with the officers on duty at night.
 The duties performed by the se- cret service at Oyster Bay are ex- acting, but not onerous on the indi- vidual officers. The men are on duty in tricks and have ample time for rest and recreation. As. stated above the personnel of the officers this year will be different from that of last summer, because Chief Wilkie be- lieves in the shifting of his opera tives, thus maintaining In them a kaan sanse of their responsihflify
 The president always has been just a little restless under the constant guard by which he is surrounded. but his friends and advisers will not con sent to it's removal and he submits as gracefully as possible. Many times. however. in the course of the summer. he goes far away from Sag amore Hill entirely unguarded- He takes long walks through the woods. or goes for boat rides on the Sound. or rides on horseback many miles from his home. On these excursions he is unaccompanied by secret ser vice officers. The thought of person al danger never occurs to him
 While the president Is in Washing ton the situation Is different He rarely steps outside of the White House that he Is not picked up" i'm mediateIv by secret service ofncers or policemen. who. under their orders. remain near him until he returns to the White House. No chances are taken by the authorities in leaving the life of the president of the United States unguarded for a moment

Crimson Team Could Not Hit Pftch-
 ing of Meyer-score, 3 to I.
 CAMBRIDGE, Mass. June 22.- Through heavy batting and excellent pitching Yale defeated Harvard on Sol diers' field in the first game of their annual series by score of to 1.
 The crimson would have been shut put had not Madden, Yale's left fielder, allowed Curriers' hard hit to go through him, with the result that the crimson man made the circuit of the bases. After that the Yale team played so steadily that no Harvard player was able to get by second.
 Harvard scored first on the Currier hit in the second inning. but in the third Yale jumped into the lead through hard hits by Smith and Jack son. Yaie's third run was scored in the seventh on hits by Huiskamp and Smith and a sacrifice.
 The game was quickly played. and a brilliant crowd. the greater portion of which had come over to Cambridge for the senior spread in the evening. was able to leave the grounds quite early.
 The feature of the game was the pitching of Myer for Yale. After Cur rier's long hit Castle. the Harvard pitcher. dropped short fly into right field. but further attempts of the liar yard batsmen to send the ball outside the diamond proved fruitless except in two instances in which two short flies were captured by the outhelders. On the other hand. the Yale batsmen hit Castle safely in every inning save two.

Coronation of King Haakon

WILLIAM J. BRYAN WAS PRESENT.
Large American Contingent There. Little Crown Prince Creates . stir. Many Ancient Morse Gus
 toms Observed.

TRONDHJENI, June p. With a ceremonial modified from the old Morse forms to meet the modern dem- ocratic spirit of the country King Haakon VII. and Queen Maud at noon today in the old Trondhjem cathedral were crowned sovereign rulers of Nor way. The young couple were anoint- ed, blessed and presented with Nor ways crowns.
 When, nearly forty years ago, King Oscar of Sweden received the crown he barred his breast and ecclesiastics crossed 1t with sacred oils, according to the custom of older days. King Haakon was anointed only on the fore head and wrists, and the entire rite was much simpler. The king and queen entered the cathedral at II o'clock. King Haakon was crowned first and Queen Maud afterward with practically the same ceremony.
 There were more than 5000 persons present, that number including Will liam Jennings Bryan. who had just ar rived in Trondhjem for the coronation. Accompanying Mir Bryan were the American special ambassador, Charles H. Graves, who is minister to Sweden,
