KNOWS OLD CHURCH
ST. GILES BETTER KEPT THAN
in DAY OF REFoRMER,
Famous Edlnburg Meeting House Now
Swept and Garnlshed, With Mod.
ern Stained Glass Windows
and Monuments.

Come" said DR.. Samuel Johnson,
when he and Boswell went to the
great church of st. Giles, let us see
what was once a church" AS great
medieval churches go the collegiate
church Of st. Giles never was very
famous INTELLECTUALLY, says the Ad-
vance. The present structure dates
from the fourteenth century. Its Ian
tern tower and the artful arrange
ment of its interior pillars are the
only features Of interest remaining
Here as effectively as anywhere the
reformation created havoc and let
loose the dogs of war. The hammer
like eloquence of John Knox, who
preached here his 20 sermons a week,
each an hour or two long and terrific
in vehemence, smashed the stained
glass windows, shattered the carved
images of saints, broke in pieces the
priceless fabrics of medieval art, de-
stroyed affairs and shrines. In DR..
Johnson's day the scars were very Wis
ible. st. Giles was occupied by four
distinct congregations of worshippers,
the great church being partitioned off
for their convenience. A prejudice ex-
listed even against cleanliness in
churches. THE pew swept and
lined!" cried Mess Johns wife; my
husband would think it downright
popery!" Even Boswell admitted that
the church was shamefully dirty.
Since Johnson's time the higher
aesthetic taste of nations, the appre-
citation of medieval art first stimu-
lated by the Waverley novels, have
caused the attempted restoration of
st. Giles. The place is swept and
garnished. There are modern stained
glass windows and monuments
abound. The memorial of Robert
Louis Stevenson is placed among
those Of Montrose and Argyle. The
war-worn banners of Scottish regi-
ments give a touch of color for the
eye and a thrill to memory. Here
Knox shaped history. Here Jennie
Geddes threw her stool.
A medieval church, especially of
the Gothic type, is not well adapted to
the use of the protestant religion,
There 10 an incongruity in the struc-
ture. The great choir, separated for
merly by an impenetrable screen; the
many chapels for masses, the ar
rangement of the building for a wor-
ship by the clergy, exclusively with
out reference to the comfort or con-
venience of the people, without the
! idea of an auditorium for the preach
ing of sermons, make an awkward
adaptation for modern needs which
will be especially observed in the
cathedrals in England. The Scots,
more logical and less conservative,
rooted out the screens and turned the
church into meeting house.

Silas Carriers Romance
Copyright, 1910, by Associated Literary Press
By Carl Jenkins

There was nothing wrong about
Silas Carter. He was a strapping
young man who worked in a sawmill
and ate three square meals a day.
When evening came he sat down to
store his mind with knowledge. He
couldn't borrow Shakespeare or
American history and, in consequence
he borrowed romances. They were
not eactly dime novels. They related
mostly to knights and chevaliers and
rescues of distressed damsels.
After reading for two or three
years Silas got the idea that he was
q chevalier, and that the distressed
damsel would sooner or later heave
into view. He didn't say anything
about 1t. 1t might be that he wasn't
a chevalier, and it might be tnat the
distressed damsel would be detained
on the road.
One night when he was calling on
Miss Eunice Bebee, the daughter of
a villager, he casually observed:
"Eunice, l love you and want you
to be my wife"
Il WILL" she replied.
Eunice had known Silas for a long
time, and had come to realize that
she loved him, and why shouldn't she
have answered that way? Why blush
and stick a finger in her mouth and
reply that she would see her father
about it? She did Just as a plain
sensible girl always does under the
sz1arcumstances-she waited for Silas
to say more.
He began and ended right there
If the distressed damsel appeared he
would tell Eunice that he had
changed his mind If she didn't then
they would get married some day
Eunice continued to be a good, plain
girl, and Silas kept his eyes oper
for what was coming.
1t came one July day. A young
lady from the city, stopping at sum
mer hotel in the village, came dowr
to the mill pond to fish. Silas was

Tuberculosis In the Prisons.

The fact that 100000 prisoners are

10 to Is per cent. of them have tuber-

ing special places for their treatment

a scream. He ran for the water and
was in time to pull a very wet and
frightened girl out by the hair.
p When she could speak she called
him q hero and said he had saved her
life and won her eternal gratitude.
She was the distressed damsel and
he the hero-the chevalier. There
could be no two ways about that. He
was invited to call at the hotel and
receive further thanks, and the drip
ping damsel took her departure.
Silas Carter called. He was braced
up by the heroic deed he had done,
and he felt very important when he
found himself in the presence of
young lady wearing diamonds and
fine clothes and almost smiling at
the fresh grease on his boots. He
didn't know exactly what to do with
his hat, hands and feet, but he slowed
them away somewhere and modestly
said that he stood ready to rescue a
damsel every day in the week.
He was thanked and thanked, and
the damsel said she could never for
get him. She even went so far as to
give him her address in the city and
say that she would be pleased to hear
from her hero-occasionally. In get

didn't She had heard about the
rescue, and she had an idea It was
that, but she did not lose her temper.
She just moved the pitcher along and
said:
"Silas, have another glass of hard
cider before you go. It's good to keep
of the nightmare"
