Robin Joins in Singing Church Service.

Quoted service in an asylum. On my
way to the institution | wondered
whether my fluffy. fearless chorister of
last winter would attend. 1 had missed
him hitherto, and feared some mischance
had befallen. To my delight, there he
was on the upper bar of the window
sash, just little down from the top;
and as we began to sing he darted to the
floor in front of the reading desk and
poured forth his silver treble with throb-
bling Joy. On the giving out of the text
he returned to his perch, and remained
silent till the parting paraphrase
brought him back once more to render
with full heart his gladstone song.-The

Germany 10000 horses were butchered

ga Miss as Good as a Mile"
We have all used, the saying, "A
miss is as good as mile," yet it Is
doubtful If many know the origin Of
this proverb. Before the days Of the
great Charlemagne, when King Pepin
ruled the Frankish Empire, there
dwelt two friends, Amis and Amile.
According to the story of Turpin,
these men were SO strongly attached
to each other that Amile risked his
life to save the life and fortune of
Amis, and later, when Amile was suf.
fering from leprosy, Anis sacrificed
his own children in order that his
friend might be bathed in their blood
and cured Thus, came that peculiar.
ly true proverb which will no doubt
remain with us until the end Of time.

I take it that no effective denial can be en-

superb buildings which are massed in the
Wall street district of New York are largely
devoted to housing concerns which draw their
revenue from the speculative public. This
same public partially paid for their erection.
It continues to contribute the funds which
make such investments profitable. The read

A generation ago, when the college currcu-

educated men bewailed the material spirit
Of orr education. There was a movement to
force education back to the humanities, back
To culture. back to "the sweet serenity of
books" But now the laboratory is returning

Deep sea yachting seems to be popular
among amateur sailors on the coast. Six
entries have already been made for the
Brooklyn Yacht Clubs race from Sandy
Hook to Cape May and return, for the
Croker cup, on the Sd of July. The race
is over a distance of more than three
hundred miles. and the course is one on
which yachts can get severe shakings
when the winds blow high. But rough
weather yachting is the real sport, and
amateur sailors seem inclined to leave
smooth water events to the motor boats.

For nine years Australia has been
.rying to choose a capital. Melbourne
and Sydney, beautiful cities beautifully
named, were both impossible, because
the Commonwealth Act of 1900 pro-
vided that the capital should be in
New South Wales, not less than 100
miles from Sydney. Whatever the
merits of the places proposed. Dalgety.
Tumut, and the place finally selected,
Yass-Canberra, they all suffer from
queer names. So there is new prob
EN- before the Australian common
wealth, to choose for the capital a
aame which the world will take pleas
Ire in saying and the poets will be able

America that George Washington was

Some time ago the theory was
started that the American people owe
their indomitable spirit of enterprise
to the ever changing atmospheric con-
ditions of the United States, and since
then many tenderfoot has felt better,
not TO say happier, about his climatic
discomforts. Willing we are to be bent
and unbent by the rapid alterations of
heat and cold since this "tempering"
improves the quality Of the races on
this soil. Storms and cyclones. bone
searching winds, hurricanes and gales,
zero weather and tropic heat are all
the same to loyal American since he
knows that weather makes him great.

says we should be grateful for, not
cross at, all the varieties sweeping
over this grand continent every day of
life. Blessed be the invigorating fresh

Worked Banks fer $500.

on the State Savings bank Of Mason
10 Helen Carpenter One check for
$257.30 was supposed to be signed
by Oscar Driver, a well-to-do hay
buyer of Mason, and the other by
Harper Reed. wealthy business man
Of the same town. Each of the men
do business with the Mason bank
also with the two Lansing banks, and
the checks were taken at once When
the checks were returned to the local
banks it was discovered that they had
been let down about $500 by clever
forgery.
The girl who so cleverly turned the
trick obtained the blank checks at
Mason and there evidently learned all
about the prominence of the two men
whose names she forged. Lansing de
