CATHERINE DOUGLAS.

T. K, Ogden: The line
Ethan that by Catharine Douglas, when sh
barred the door at Perth"
belongs to charming poem, written by Henri.
A. Ashmead, a Canadian, whose prose and poetic
writings have earned for him an enviable position
among the brilliant writers of the Dominion
While we are pleased to obge 7. K by giving The
entire poem special prominence, deem few ex
planatory words to be not out of place.
Catharine Douglas, called "the tender and the
true" by James, Hogg, the Etrick Shepherd, wat
reared midst the turbulent nobility of Scottish
court. The incident, around which Mr. AshmeaG
has trellised his lines of beauty and romance real
| ly happened. Some day Royal Perth" will vote
monument to Catharne Douglas, for the patriot
| ism of the Scot is ever more pronounced than his
| politics. Here is Henry Ashmeads poem, and It's
title, "How Catharine Douglas Barred the Door
| at Perth:
Of the Stewart Kings of Scotland, who ruled that
troubled land,
King James the First holds foremost place though
he ruled with iron hand;
AS Monarch, Poet and Statesman, he was premier
over all,
But treason lurked within his court and brought
King James court was radiant with danes of high
degree,
For Scotia's hardy ddemoselles were beautiful to
see;
But the brightest flower among them, the fairest
of them all.
Was Bonnie Cathariue Douglas, the slender and
the tall
King James had come to 'Royal Perth" with the
favorites of his court,
Not knowing by foul treachery, his life was sold
and bought;
The laugh and jest had passed around, he rose up
to retire,
When the clash of arms and furious shouts caused
CONSERVATION dire.
Too late to fly how deeply laid had been the cum
ming plot,
For the bolt was gone from the oaken door, and
empty lay the slot;
The armed footsteps nearer drew-was there no
way to stay
The entry of those regicdes, and gain some short
delay9
blood of the stout Sir James,
That never flinched when duty called, flowed in
lady's veins;
For Catherine barred her shapey arm and barred
the heavy door,
Such living bolt, with quivering flesh, was never
seen before.
Why dwell the sickening details of a crushed |
and mangled limb,
Of the murder foul, in the chamber vault, of the
uckless, ill-starred king?
For Scottish annals tell the tale and Scottish bards
relate
How Justice, ere month had passed, avenged King
James fate.
Midst the roll of famous heroines, whose names
will never fade,
Stands the martyr of King James court the high
born Scottish maid,
Few nober deeds were ever done by woman on this
EARTH
Than that by Catherine Douglas, when she barred
the door at Perth.

Men and Missions.

The Chicago Auditorium is famous
place for all kinds Of gatherings, but
the 5000 delegates who expect to rally
there May 3 to will represent some
thing wholly unique in the history of
public assemblies. Three years ago the
Christian laymen of different denomina-
tons in the Uaited States and Canada
organized what is called the Laymens
Missionary Movement. and they are just
finishing remarkable campaign in Is
cities, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and from the Great Lakes to the Gulf.
The enthusiasm in some places has
been extraordinary. In New York ever
5000 men attended the closing mass
meeting in the Hippodrome. The Wash
ington gathering was almost interna-
tional in its scope. Chief Forester
Pnchot was Chairman of the local COM
mittee, and President Taft, Ambassa-
dor Bryce and two Canadians were
among the speakers. In Pittsburg 500
checks had to be returned for seats at
the banquet, as the demand exceeded
the supply. Two Governors of States
were delegates to the st. Louis meeting,
at the close of which several business
men came forward and pledged $1,000
each for promoting mission work thru
out the world. Oklahoma City outvied
many Eastern cities in both numbers
and enthusiasm. saying they would
show the world that "Oklahoma is
making great strides not only in indus
trial lines, but also in spiritual mat
ters.' In Memphis the total paid regis
tration was 1,355. In New Orleans
there was not room in the convention
hall for all who wished to attend. The
array Of speakers was one of the most
notable ever seen in the South, includ-
ing Korean Prince. So the campaign
is moving on thru Nebraska, Colorado
and Utah, to the Pacific Coast, gaining
momentum at every point, and the
grand finale is scheduled for Chicago
early in May.

Patriotism OF DIR. Mary Walker.

Editor National Tribune: The letter
of Comrade j. r. Keyes in The National
Tribune of Jan. IS about the assassina-
ton of Lincoln recalls to my mind an
incident perhaps never fully reported.
L was in camp, just outside of Clarks-
Vile, Tenn, with Lieut. Clement D.
Potts. to whom 1 had turned over the
command of Co. l, 101st U. S. C. T,
while I was acting as JudgeAdvocate
Of military commission holding its
sessions in Clarksville.
When 1 reached our rooms Saturday
morning, April Is, 1865. Capt. Coniey
our President, said: Judge, that as
sassination of Lincoln is terrible"
Thinking there was some catch, said:
What is the point? Let us have it"
He then told of the terrible news that
had just been received from Washing
ton. If ever people were sad and mad
at the same time we Federals were at
that time. DR.. Mary Walker was then
employed as a physician to assist DR..
Cooper, Surgeon of the SD Ill, and
more especially to look after the sick
OF Battery d, I'd Ill. L. A., at Provi-
dence, just across the Cumberland Riy-
er from Clarksville.
Rev. DIR. Pingold was then rector of
the Episcopal Parish at Clarksville, and
while a fine preacher and very much of
a gentleman, he had never hidden his
prejudices, and used to pray for the
President of these Confederate States"
until Col. A. S. Smith, SD ILL.,, and
commander of the post, issued an order
that a repetition of that prayer would
land him in the guard house.
On Easter Sunday, April 16, 1855, as
| was going from camp to our rooms,
met DR.. Mary Walker. who was fol-
lowed by an Orderly carrying her medi-
cine case. She said: Captain, our Ma
tional colors have been insulted." And
then went on to say that she had at
tended Easter services and for an Offer
ing had sent a bouquet of red, white
and blue flowers, which Rev. Ringold
had tredden under foot. She said if
she could have backing she would be at
the evening service and present a Unit
ed States Flag.
Before night talked the matter over
with Lieut.. Potts. We attended church
in the evening, and occupied seat near
the chancel, with our revolvers handy in
case of need. Immediately in front of
the chancel sat DIR. Mary Walker, hold
ing dainty U. S. Flag, which at an
oppOrtune moment she handed to the
rector He was deathly pale and trem-
bled like leaf, but cOurteOuSly re-
ceived the emblem and placed it among
the Easter offerings. Both Potts and I
were happy that the affair ended as it
did.
Long years afterward Rev. Ringold
as clerical delegate from Iowa and | as
lay delegate from Kansas attended the
General Convention of the Church at
Philadelphia. We talked of the incl
dent, and then for the first time he
learned of the risk he had taken. |

The Oldest Post

John II. Williams Post, Department
OF Wisconsin, believes that it is the old
est Post in the world. This Post was
organized Sept. s, 1866, since which
time it has never missed making a re-
port to the Department. and never. dur
ing all that time, as the records show,
has it missed meeting when its books
have not been regularly opened and
closed. They claim to be the Oldest
Post, and declare that their claim is
allowed to be valid in the Department
and in the National. The comrades of
the Post ask that if any Post can show
n better record let them report thru
The National Tribune. This Post has
90 members in good standing. They
lost two by death in the last quarter of
the year. They meet every Thursday
evening, and always welcome visiting
comrades. J. .. Howard, Commander;

A Great Moment in China's History.

All things considered the awakening
! of China is probably the most impor-
tant event thus far in the twentieth
century. 1t is a Stupendous task to
| undertake the organization of new
army and navy. to plan for the adop-
ton of constitution ard to cast aside
a hoary system of education. which
| had been in operation 5000 years, in
favor of modern methods. These and
there more opportune time for the
highest type of leadership, and that is
precisely what China lacks. Never was
there a more opportunt time for the
United States to stretch forth a friendly
hand, especially in the matter of edu-
cation, for we are distrusted less than
any other foreign nation. 1t is n mis-
take to limit our interest in China to
commercial relations, when there is
such a chance to lay broad and strong
foundations for new moral and intel
lectual life there. through the influence
of Christian schools and colleges.
Students from these institutions, under
the care of various mission boards, are
eagerly sought to fill positions as teach
ers in the Government schools. To meet
this and similar demands there is i'm
perative and immediate need Of a Chris
tian university with the highest stan
d9rds of scholarship, the largest appli-
.ances for investigation. and the most
modern methods of instruction. Such
q university would prove an inestimable
boon to China at this turning point of
her history.
Two members of the faculty of Chi
cago University. Prof. Ernest de Witt
Burton and Prof Thomas c.. Chamber
lin, were recently commissioned to make
a tour of the. great empire for the ex
press purpose of seeing whether those
interested in education in both coun-
tries could not be of service to one an
other. A similar movement has start
ed in oxford and Cambridge, a joint
committee of educators and mission
aries having been engaged for the last
10 months in making a thoro investiSa-
ton of the whole subject. Institutions
of the character proposed would not
only train up future administrators for
China, but would serve as models for
the native universities. The legacy of
a million and half OF dollars from
John S. Kennedy to Robert College,
Constantinople. is a fine example of the
estimate which one wise and successful
business man put upon the value of
Christian college in Turkey. Given
equally adequate provision for the
suits would surely follow. From the
point Of view either of commerce, for
eign relations, world economics, racial
development of the kingdom of Christ,
the Christian education of China is
easily the most important question con-
fronting Europe and America to-day, as
it is a question concerning one quarter
of the worlds population.

EEW BOOKS in the lit

country had such in
Simultaneous success and wide
popularity as the Isl Klegg"
series. From the very first
the story attracted a host OF
readers, and these increased
in geometrical ratio as the
publication progressed.
1t is the story plainly, SIM
ply and truthfully told of the
development of two green
country boys into veteran
soldiers of the highest type.
The story is told with affec-
tionate fidelity by one who
marched, camped and fought
with them, and there is q
universal agreement that it is
far the best story of the ex-
perience OF the enlisted men
III the Union Army mat has
ever been written. Every
detail and incident is so
truthful, so like his own ex-
perience that the veteran in
stantly recognizes it with
a burst of laughter or the
tears yelling into his eyes.
The abounding humor of the
book is one of its most fas-
cinating features. Wherever
it is possible to extract fun
out of any situation or hap
pening it is done in the real
old army way. The heros of
the story see the fun them-
