The Fence or the Ambulance

Twas dangerous cliff, they freely confessed
Though to walk near it's crest pleasant;
But over its terrible edge there had sipt
duke, and full many peasant.
So the people said something would have to be done,
But their projects would not at all tally.
Some said "Put fence round the edge of the cliff
Some: IAN ambulance down in the Valley
But the cry for the ambulance carried the day,
For it spread through the neighborng city;
A fence may be useful or not it is true,
But each heart became brimful of pity
For those who slip that dangerous cliff;
And the dwellers in highway and valley
Gave pounds gave pence, not to put up fence,
But an ambulance down in the valley.
'For the cliff is all right if you re careful they said,
'sAnd if folks slip and dropping,
1t isn't the slipping that hurts them much
AS the shock down below when they re stopping"
So, day after day, these mishaps occurred,
Quick forth would these sally
To pick up the victims who fell off the cliff
With the ambulance down in the valley.
The Illinois issue. (Chicago, Ill. ;) 1906-1912, 1910-06-03

Then old sage remarked, cts marvel to me
That people give far attention
To repairing results than to stopping the cause
When they'd much better aim at prevention.
Let stop at its all this mischief " cried he
'Come, neghbors and friends, let us rally;
If the cliff we should fence might almost dispense
With the ambulance down in the Valley
90, he's fanatic" the others rejoned;
''Dispense with the ambulance Never!
He'd dispense with all charities too, of he could;
But mol We'll support them forever!
Arent picking folk up just fast they fall,
And shall this prescribe for us? Shall he?
Why should people of sense stop to put up fence
While the ambulance works in the valley?'
But sensible few, who practical too,
Will not bear with such much longer,
They believe that prevention is better than cure,
And their party will be the stronger,
Encourage them then, with your purse voice and pen
And while other philanthropists daily,
They will scorn all pretense, and put up fence
On the cliff that hangs the valley.

Hints to Swimmers.

An expert swimmer is authority foe

Nearly all experienced swimmers, he
says, know that cramps when in the
water are Of comparatively infrequent

of the leg, and the swimmer by lying
quietly upon his back without undue
alarm and stretching out the leg may
overcome this somewhat painful invol-
untary muscular contraction. The ex-

ROMAN ARENAS.
They Were Not Mere Rings az Those
Of the Modern Circus.

The arenas Of ancient Rome were
not as some people suppose, mere
rings or ovas. such MS may be seen In
the modern circus. They were broken
up and varied In character according
to the nature of the fighting to be
done or to the caprices of those in au-
thority.
On one occasion an arena might re-
semble the Numidian desert, on an
other the garden of Hesperldes, thick
set with groves of trees and rising
mounds, while again 1t pictured the
great rocks and caves of Thrace.
With these surroundings the COM
batants advanced. retreated. enclrcled
their adversaries or kept wild beasts
at bay as occasion offered or as their
courage or fear suggested. Men COM
bated not only with the more common
brutes. but with such monsters as eIe-
plants. rhinoceroses. appropriateness
and crocodiles.
On other occasions fiocks of game,
such as deer and war ostriches, were
abandoned to the multitude, and In
some cases the arenas could be turned
INTO lakes, filed with monsters of the
feep, and upon the surface of which
naval engagements took place.-Lon-

Free Baptist Church.

"Believing on the Son." was tine
theme of an eloquent sermon as
preached by Rev. G. E. Barnard at
the Free Baptch church yesterday
morning and the text was taken from
John 3-36.
Rev. Barnard took the two prin-

Believing" and defined them to his
hearers. He spoke of the Christ as
the one only begotten and beloved
son of the father he stated (mortal)

that belief in the Son was growing in

religion was and Is spreading be-
cause of the truth and infallibility Of
Christianity as religion.
The word believe" was next de-
fined in connection with the text
The speaker said that this word in
cluded a number of things; first, the
assent of the mind. next the consent
OF the will and lastly the giving over
of the life itself to the care of the
Christ. Rev Barnard persuaded his
his hearers to commit their lives 10

OF his teachings In, their hearts. "for''

While the sun was shining brigh tly,
there was hear the muttering of
distant thunder. Suddenly and with

large drops began falling in greatest

The storm abated in about an hour
