bridge and the fastest ocean liner.
"These are all wonderful" he admits,
but a triumphal arch will some day
eclipse the one in Paris. and the Pan
ANA canal will be a competitor for a
place among the seven. America will
have skyscrapers, if they do not al

soon be relegated to second place.

ELOPEs ON A MOTORCYCLE.
Pursuing Father In Auto Loses Race
When Tire Blows Out

VHeH DlO"S OuIs
LIE Sueur, Mimi, Nov. S.-An elope-
ment extraordinary occurred at the
home of Wilbur Methmen, a rich
farmer of Cleveland township, when
his twenty-year-old daughter, Eliza
beth, sped away with her sweetheart
George Hetting. She was seated in
front of Hetting on the handle bars of
a motorcycle, which was running
about thirty miles an hour over none
too good country roads, and pursued
by the wrathful parents in an automo-
bile.
The parents kept on the chase, never
more than half a mile behind, across
Cordova and into Waterville township
until a blowout of a front tire landed
him and his machine in a muddy ditch
two miles north of Waterville village.
George, with the race and the bride
both won, sped on across the county
line and down to Waseca, where the
young couple were married and soon
after forgiven by telegraph by the de-
feated father, who is a good loser.
An amusing incident of the exciting
chase and race was the fact that the
happy bride and groom on their return
to the angry fathers home in an auto
mobile came upon the wrecked ma
chine which had won the day for
them, and the groom, getting out with
the man in charge of his car, repaired
the damaged wheel and tire. A we'd
ding reception was held later, at which
all the friends of the young couple in
the vicinity gathered to an old fash
ioned farm dance.

the ancient town of Carnarvon has
emerged victorious. Intensely inter

mony observed at the creation Of
Prince of Wales. The ritual is as fol-

He is presented before the king in
his surcoat, cloak and mantle of Grim
son velvet and girt with belt of the
same, when the king putteth a cap Of
crimson velvet indented and turned
up with ermine, and a coronet on his
head as a token of principality.
"And the king also putteth into his
hand a verge of gold, the emblem of
government, and a ring Of gold on his
middle finger to intimate that he must
be a husband to his country and IA
ther to his children"

is known as the yellow man." and it

and its face is dark yellow, while
around its neck there is a dark circle,
as of blood, says the tradition, ac-
cording to which the 'yellow man"
made his first appearance in the cham
Der in November, 1851, just before the
coup detat of Napoleon III. The
ghost reappeared in 1870, shortly be-
fore the outbreak of the Franco-Prus-

the eve of the death of Gambetta and
of the assassination Of Carnot. OF

For a soldier to fall asleep on SEN
try duty is death. No matter what the
circumstances, no matter if his somno-
lence has no evil consequences. The
fact that his comrades were at the
mercy of the enemy during his slum-
bers. leaves the sentinel without ex-
cuse. The risk is too great to be
overlooked.
Asleep on Guard.
There are many situations where
a moments slumber may mean the
destruction of human life, and the
ruin of property. The pilot, steering
his vessel through stormy seas or
guiding it into a tortuous harbor. The
engineer, rushing through the mid
night, hand on throttle, eyes piercing
the darkness, noting every signal
light, dragging behind him the wealth.

dred communities must not allow his
eyelids to close an instant, lest he
should not catch the warning signal,
and with the crash OF a collision
plunge a nation into mourning. The
police YEARLY pacing his beat, the
nurse, worn out with watching by the
bedside Of suffering, the artisan, who
through single nod may ruin the
work Of months, all recognize the law
that eternal vigilance. sleepless en-
deavor is the price they pay for COM
mendation. The pages of history are
filled with the records of disaster, the
explanation of which is,-asleep on

The founder of Christianity recog-
nized the weakness of humanity. and
over and over he punctuated his DIS
courses with the timely warning
Watch In one of his most striking
parallels he dwelt upon the sad results
of careless ease, by telling the story
of the watchers, every one of whom,
on the post of duty, slumbered and
slept To the ordinary observer the
conduct of all of them was reprehen-
sible. Because they were waiting long
er than they anticipated, they all took
their ease, allowed their lamps to
grow dim. dozed off into peaceful
slumber. The only difference was that
when they were aroused from sleep
by the trumpet of warning, FIVE Of
them had had oil enough in reserve
to make their lamps blaze up, while
their five companions were obliged to

Sleep Beeets Sleep.

The fact Is, sleep begets sleep.
One person who alone would keep
awake, when all around him are doz-
ing, yawning, settling themselves for
quiet nap, in spite OF himself feels
the presence OF the drowsy god, and
gradually yields to the soporific in
fuence. l imagine that if Peter, in
the Garden of Gethsemane, had fully
realized his Masters words "Tarry ye
here and watch with me-" he would
have fought of somnolence as vigor-
ously as he later struck with his
sword to defend his Lord
Men like Peter at the gate of Geth-
semane are always cutting some
body. Many hard worked pastor is
obliged to go about patching up the
ears of people which have been cut
off by church members who are only
half awake. 1t Is a pretty serious
problem whether such sleepers on
earth will ever become pillars in heav-
en-. They certainly are the pillows,
not the pillars OF the church militant.
About all the attraction the other
world has for them is that 1t is a

a shiftless one who in the last hour

For whore they don't eat, there's no

I'll be where loud anthems will ever
be ringing.
But having no voice, I'll get rid of
the singing.
Don't mourn for me now, nor mourn
for me never.
For I'm going TO do nothing for ever
and ever.
What is true of the church is true
also Of the nation. 1t is while men
sleep that the enemies of good gov
ernment get in their work. Many a
well-begun reform has come to naught
because the ardor OF the advocates
has cooled on and the sentinels on
