OF THE BOARD or TRUSTEES OF THE CITY SAW INGS BANK UPON THE DEATH OF FREDERICK
 W. READ.

Whereas, Frederick W. Read, 8 trustee of this bank, died October 9th, 1911, and this bank is dssfrous of rendering a faithful and just tri- bute to his memory.
 Therefore Resolved. that in the death of Frederick W. Read, the com munity has suffered a great loss, and this bank, in particular, has been grievously afflicted by losing an earnest and wise advocate Of it's well being. Jealous in his beliefs broad in his views; strong in support Of what he deemed right; vigorous in opposition to what he deemed wrong. with ample experience of life and men on which to base his tudgmenfss incisive and convincing in thought and speech; just and fearless, yes generous; such was the manner Of man who has been removed by death in the prime of his intellectual and moral development; and we mouEn his loss.
 This resolution aims to render a just tribute to MT. Read in those as- poets of his character in which his associates on the board of trustees knew him. Of his social, family and religious life we do not attempt to speak, though from all reports they were in keeping with the high ideals and achievements of the man. a.

conveyed in the play with such ir- resistible pathos? Where else is there ready to hand an artist so charged, as it were, with that quality of youth and heroic idealism which is the key note of this piece? For surely she is in herself a fountain of this same quaint hur1or and exquisite fancy which are the attendant qualities Of this drama. She alone is blessed with a voice tuned by nature to be mouthpiece of essential, sky seeking youth, heroic, yearning and illusioned.
 Above all else, Chantecler must be acted by a person able to declaim verse, capable of Interpreting the lyric note so predominant through each of the acts. Very few English actors
 possess this quality and who but Miss Adams is at hand with the sublety,
 delicacy and fineness of method, need-
 ed to reach such a note and to keep it from seeming out of key. Tn
 France their great actor Guitry's chief
 difficulty in the role was to fight against a perfectly. we'll intentioned
 but equally perfectly misplaced laugh
 brought from the audience. For
 when these passages of tenderest charm were spoken by this actor, who is over six feet tall, huge figure of man, the awkwardness of his move ments invariably ruined the beauty of the lines. Miss Adams, on the oth-
 CT hand, physically is absolutely suit | ed to Chantecler and can never strike the eye of the spectator as being gro- tesque. Indeed, with a little thought, it can be well understood how Miss Adams remained always the undoubt- ed choice. For no sooner had MT.
 Frohman seen the play in Paris than he recognized her peculiar fitness for i the part Moreover, he was amazed and delighted, since the problem of finding the right actor to play it had been the blot on his horizon.
 Before I saw the production" he explained soon after, "I admit I had never thought of Miss Adams as a | possibility for the role of "Chantec-

More than 1000 Douknobors, mem
of a colony at Brilliant, on the lower
Arrow lake, have rebelled against the

counted. Sherbining, the leader of the
colony, has done everything in his pow
er to persuade the colonists to submit,
and they have been threatened with ar
rest without avail.
The census commissioner has tele-
graphed to the minister CT agriculture
at Ottawa asking for instructions.
Fror previous experience, the police
and census men here believe that the
instructions will be to arrest all men
who refuse to give the data required,

those ancient days would not be

It is almost inconceivable in this

Judge or a justice of the peace, even
if he were merely bent on hunt for
notoriety would have the audacity to
order an unfortunate woman to ex-
piate her crime in a chain gang doing
work on the streets or on a rock pile

whose offense deserves one Many
women are so sentenced to the states

does not contemplate that woman
work it out in the mines. There is
pfentv of other work around a prison
for women to do that is in their line.
The same is true about a jail.
! But to insist, as Judge Schneider
does. that a woman be publicly de-
graded by being forced to work on the
streets or on a rock pile with a chain
gang, is unreasonable and unjust. Il

''The great American game" is very
properly domiciled in this hemisphere,
according to Franklin Adams, the
peripatetic editor of the Bulletin OF
Pan-Am merican Union, the official mag
azine of the Bureau of American Re
publics.
On a recent tour of South and Cen
trail America Mr.. Adams came across
evidences of the original ball game
which was passion among the highly
civilized aborigines of Honduras, Qua
temala, and Yucatan long before the
conquest of Mexico by Cortez in the
first half of the sixteenth century.
Among the ruins of the ancient City
of Chichen TIA, Cthe mouth of the
Wells of the Itzas,'') on the Yucatan
Peninsula, fifteen miles from the near
est railway station, the traveller found
remarkable ball court bounded by
parallel walls of cement and adobe 27O

| feet apart. Lying at the foot of one OF
these walls was an enormous limestone
