A striking statement made by DR..
Hamilton was to the effect that what
he had to say would find but little
opposition from the non-church peo-
pie and the worldly people who make
no pretense to religion but from
church members who want to do as
they please and hate to be brought to
realization of the truth.
One by one DR.. Hamilton took up
the arguments to be advanced against
the indulgences in these pleasures by
church people or by others who de-
sired to lead pure lives. He also
dealt with many of the defenses for
these pleasures that are advanced.

was the theme of the sermon. Be
fore 1880 last night nearly every seat
in the great building was occupied
and by O'Clock the building was
packed and jammed with people and
many were unable to secure admis-

DR.. Hamilton in his usual quick,
forceful, earnest manner launched
into his sermon. He declared in the
outset that he would not employ
abuse but reason only in dealing with
his subject. He declared that The
problem is not only what will the
church do about dancing, card play
ing and theatre-going but what will
they do for the church. Then he
divided his discourse into three parts,
one devoted to card playing, one to
the theatre and one TO the dance.
DR.. Hamilton pointed out that
what he had to say applied mainly to
the church member and members of
the family of church members al
though he believed that the evil was
just as much to be Stunned by the
man and woman who made no pre-
tense to being a Christian. However
1t was easy to see that the prime pur-
pose of DR.. Hamilton was to show
that the man or woman who pretends
to be church member and pretende
to be a Christian cannot be any other

The Price of a Life.

According to Anglo-Saxon law, ev-
cry mans life, including that of the
king. was valued at fixed price, and
any one who took it could commute the
offense by a money payment upon a
fixed scale. The life of peasant was
reckoned to be worth 200 shillings,
that of a man of noble birth 1.2CO shil-
lings, and the killing of king involved
the regicide in a payment Of 1900 shil-
lings. 1t has been pointed out that the
heir to the throne could thus get rid of
the existing occupant by numbering
him and thereafter handing over the
fine. according to the scale, to the eX-
chequer, when his offense would be
purged and his money would come
back to himself, for in those days the
sovereign received all fines as personal
perquisites. There is very little doubt
that these rough means were practi-
cally applied in the case of some rulers
of England in the preconquest period

OUR FIRST MUSTANGS.

Country by the Spaniards.

They Were Probably Brought to This
Country by the Spaniards.
The first horses of the western plains
were probably brought there by the
Spaniards. In 1915, almost fifty years
before jamestown was settled, Coro-
nado, the Spanish captain, was roam
ing about the plains OF New Mexico,
and he tells Of the dogs used by the
Indians to haul their plumber on lodge
poles, indicating that they had no
horses at that date.
In 1716 the Spanish again worked
their way eastward across the plains,
and their letters tell Of the astonish-
ment of the Indians at seeing the
horses they had with them. The ex-
petition was constantly losing horses,
and there is little doubt that the first
droves of western horses originated
from these strays.
In the early days upon the plains
they were a great pest to travellers.
Woe be unto the luckless camper who
allowed q band of wild horses to get
close enough to his gentle horses,
turned out for the night, to sweep
them off. 1t was almost useless to
follow, for the call Of the wild comes
to the gentlest of horses when he is
thrown with a band of his kind that
have been born and raised free Of all
restraint. 1t is a well known fact that
the hardest one to "cut out" the lead
er of them all in mad race across
the prairie, Is the old, gentle, well
broken saddle or work horse once he
gets a taste Of such freedom.-Will G.

OLD TIME GRIZZLIES.
They Were Indispensable Articles of
Wear In the Middle Ages.

wear IN the Middle Ages.
In the middle ages at the glrdle were
hung the thousand and one odds and
ends needed and utilized in everyday
affairs. The scrivener had his inkhorn
and pen attached to it, the scholar his
book or books, the monk his crucifix
and rosary, the innkeeper his TALES
and everybody his knife. SO many
and so various were the articles at
tached to it that the fiippant began to
poke fun. In an old play there is men,
ton of a merchant who had hanging
at his girdle a pouch, spectacle case,
a "punniard," a pen and inkhorn and
a Handkerchief" with many other
trinkets besides, of which a merry
companion said. at was like a hab-
erdasher's shop of small wares" In
another early play lady says to her
maid: "Give me my girdle and see
that all the furniture be at it. Look
that pinchers, the penknife, the knife
to close letters with, the bodkin, the
ear picker and the scale be in the
case" Girdles were in some respects
like the chatelaines of more modern
times, but they differed therefrom in
being more useful, more comprehen-
sive in regard both to sex and to ar
ticles worn, and when completely fin
ished more costly. 1t is partly for this
reason that we find girdles bequeathed
as precious heirlooms and as valuable
presents to keep the giver's memory
green after death They were not in
frequently of great intrinsic value.

the head at a length Of seven inches or
more. 1t was trimmed with wonderful

GR0TESQUE NAMES.
Burdens That Innocent English Chill
dren Had to Bear.

dren Had to Bear.
In England, as in other countries.
thousands Of people go through life
cherishing grudge against their par
ents for giving them absurd or incon-
gruous names. 1t was most natural
that a demure and pretty girl in a
north suburb should feel resentful
when she had to answer to the name
OF Busybody, given in honor of the
winner Of a race fifteen years before.
Among the names registered at Som
erset House are Airs and Graces and
Nun Nicer, which were innocently
borne by two little girls who found
them most embarrassing in after years.
The appalling name of Wellington
Wolseley Roberts was borne by q
young man who, in disposition and ap-
pearance, was anything but militant,
and as little likely to win fame on
the battlefield as his predecessors Ar
thur Wellesley Wellington Waterloo
Cox and Napoleon the Great Eagar.
However, even these names, inap-
propriate as they may be, are to be
preferred to Roger the Ass, Anna (sic)
Domini Davies and Boadicea Basher.
To parents of large families the ad-
vent Of another child is not always
welcome, but it is scarcely kind to
make the unexpected child bear a tol1-
en- of disapproval. 1t must be rather
terrible to go through life, for exam
pie, as Not Wanted James, What An
other, Only Fancy William Brown, or
even as Last Of EN- Harper, or Still
Another Hewitt. And yet these are
all names which the foolish caprice
of British parents has imposed on in
