Johns Letter.

We had the pleasure of listening to the
Captains address Mt Turner Grange
Hall last Saturday. As one of "the
Folks" We were rather proud OF him.
We think it is settled, or ought to be,
that something good can come out Of"
-Buckfield. He was master Of the stu
alton. Sure. Ordinarily an hour and q
quarter Is too much Of a speech, but this
didn't prove to be so. which speaks we'll
for the speaker-or for the patient en-
durance of the hearers.
What variety of gifts been have par
celed out to the children Of men, pretty
nearly as many az there are children.
"Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are
all teachersP Are all workers of miracles?
Have all the gift Of healing? Do all
speak with tongues? Do all interpret?
But covet earnestly the best gifts. "
Aud perhaps it wouldn't be bad idea to
make the most of what one has, little or
large.
Whoever lacks the gift of song might
as we'll wait till he joins the immortal
choir and then see. Probably he will
have to receive private instructions be-
fore singing in public. However we
haven't been informed as to that. No
man ever had a call to preach who
hadn't the gift and the preach in him.
And it seems hat Paul had that idea in
his head, or something similar.
None were ever called to use that
which was never given him. Self-esteem
sometimes leads astrsy. and we cannot
fill the gap that we feel we are filling.
o, yes, 1t is all right to aim high, but
not too high. 1t does not follow that, II
you can paint barn door, you can pain,
portrait. Don't try 1t, lest it look like
Robinson Crusoe or some one who never
was, and we will hope, never will be-
unless you have the gift.

pletely splintered, three ribs on the left
side broken, the left leg broken in two

weeks.

ARMED FANATICS DEFY POLICE
Officers Hurried From Winnipeg to
Dispense Band Of Dukhobors.


Dispense Band of Dukhobors.
Winnipeg, July "a detachment OF
twenty royal northwest mounted police
left early today for Pierson, Man..
twenty-five miles north of the North
Dakota boundary line, where armed re-
hgious fanatics are camping In large
numbers, including a few women and
children.
The band came from North Dakota
on Saturday armed with rifles. The
leader claims to be Jesus Christ and
says his wife Is the Virgin Mary. They
are on their way to Join the Dukhobors
near Yorktown, Sask.
On being ordered to dispense by the
police Sunday, they formed half cir
Gle, presenting arms and threatened to
shoot all who interfered. 1t was then
that the mounted police were summon
ed.
Nothing is known here of the nation
atty or antecedents Of the sect be-
yond the fact that they are travelling
on foot in much the same manner as
the Dukhobor pilgrims and forcing
their young children to join in the
march. Their burdens consist chiefly Of
heavy firearms, which, 1t is feared they
may use Unfortunately. They are
carrying very slim supply Of food.
A man going by the name Of John King
Is their leader.
Pierson is a little town in southwest
ern Manitoba, but few miles from
the eastern border Of the province OF
Saskatchewan.

Get Hurt in Picking Fruit.
Logansport, Ind. July 6.-Hs-rry
Warrick, county assessor, says that
he is not superstitious. but he just
wants to be on the safe side. Yester-
day he cut down big cherry tree At
his home, outside the city, so that his
wife could pick the luscious fruit
without climbing up in the tree.
An epidemic OF cherry tree accidents
has swept over the country since cher
ries became ripe, and many fair cherry
pickers have fallen and broken arms.
legs and dislocated shoulders. In ev-
cry case q woman has been the VIC
tim. Five in all have been seriously
hurt, and many others have received
painful bruises.
Warrick was unable to pick the
cherries himself; he could not get any
one to do it for him, and bis wife for
several days threatened to climb the
tree and pick them herself.
Fearing that she would be another
victim, Warrick yesterday morning be-
fore going to work, got his little hat
Chef and followed the example OF the
immoral George-he cut down the
cherry tree.
His wife then leisurely picked the
cherries while standing on the ground.
