crimes are committed among boys al
this age than at any other age. This
| age Is also the high water mark OF
religious incllnations. The keynot,
of Mr.. Lawrence's thoughts was;

boys. The boys are inclined to be
good. They don't measure goodness
lby the STANDARD of our mothers and
sisters. They are man like. They
love bravery and are active. The
messenger service is one OF the best
means Of keeping boys in Sunday
school. Boys at this age deserve
special attention. They have more
reasons for not coming to Sunday
school than girls. They have more
freedom, more places to go and these
detract from the Sunday school. Boys

The Adult Section.

conference of the adult section. The
keynote of Mr.. Lawrence's thoughts
on this subject was to build up the
adult section by all means. 1t gives

not be permitted to loiter around to
seek interviews with the visitors in

ing fed One of the pieces of meat
was so large that it would not go
through the bars of the cage, and the
attendant carelessly opened the door
to push it in.
Instantly the lioness threw her huge
body against the door. forcing it open
and rushed into the outer room, which
had only a slight door as bar to
perfect liberty.
The terrified man, together with
several companions, who were seated
near made a dash for safety, and got
out of the room before the animal
realized it's bearings. Barring the frail
door as best they could, telephone
message was sent for the manager
and trainer, Madame Lascelles, who
is daring English woman. who has
been in charge of Spitfire for the last
few weeks.
Every man around the grounds re-
fused to go into the room, and she
bravely undertook the perilous task,
it being the first time she had been
unprotected by the iron bars which
separated the small cage in which
her charge was confined.
The place was in perfect darkness,
and, alone and single-handed, Madame
Lascelles, carrying a lantern, entered
the room and drove the beast into the
cage She found it lying upon cot
used by the men, while the furniture,
tables, cupboard and chairs were scat
tered in all directions, broken into
pieces, indicating that the lioness had
tried to make a break for freedom
and was exhausted by its efforts.
AS the woman entered it made a
lunge for her, but she prodded it with
her sharp-pronged pole, driving it on.
Again it came at her. Catching its
claws in her hand, with the other
madame fired several pistol shots,
and finally was able to force 1t in che
cage. after repeatedly using her train
er's prod.

Actors frankly break down under the
great white light that ever beats on
them, and stock operators walk daily
in peril of sanitariums. The suicide
route is ever open to these, and is all
too frequently traversed.

This is a small total in a profession
which certainly numbers not fewer

that, despite the racking strain of the
great national sport, there are COM

man in the normal path.
Admitting that the wear and tear on
a player is terrific, the rarity of sui

oyerburdening there is ever physical
relief and upbuilding that preserves
the balance. The splendid exercise Of
all the muscles, the upbuilding of the
lungs, the cleansing value OF the daily

of trained masseurs enable the body to
do its share in helping out the brain.

was threatening the lives of the wo-

by the boys to secure entrance to the
