TO SAVE FIGHTERS HOME.
Sons Of Oriskany Hope to Preserve
herkimer Mansion.


Herkimer Mansion.
A small band of the lineal descend.
ants Of the devoted 800 who fought
under General Nicholas Herkimer in
the battle Of Oriskany in the Mohawk
valley in 1777 dined and renewed &C.
quaintance recently in New York.
These men are organized as the Sons
of Oriskany. Only lineal descendants
of those who fought in that battle,
which the historian, John Fiske, call
ed one of the most decisive battles
of the Revolution, because it made
possible the later victory at Saratoga,
are eligible to membership.
It was Colonel Campbell who learn
ed and put into practice in this battle
the putting Of two men behind each
tree in fighting the Indians. The In
dian was in the habit Of waiting until
a soldier had fired once from behind
tree and then dashing forward to
brain him with a tomahawk. With
two men behind each tree there was
always a reserve shot for the attack
ing Indian. This new method Of meet
ing the enemy, it is said, is what won
the fight at Oriskany.
The project which the Sons of Oris-
kany have most at heart is the pres
ervation by the state Of the old Herki-
mer mansion near Little Falls. This
house, a fine type Of the colonial, is
intact, but sadly in need Of repair.

CHURCH FOR LATE SP0ONERS.
Como at Midnight, Says Pastor, and
Avoid Lobster Palaces.

The Rev. John Thompson Of the
Methodist Episcopal church in Whea-
ton, near Chicago, has begun cru
SADIE to induce sweethearts to give up
expensive "lobster palaces" bring mid
night lunches and do their counting in
the church pews.
His rules will allow the sentimental
" stricken to stay late, with big
room and piano and 100 pews as roomy
as davenports.
"There is no better place in the
world for young couple to do their
counting than in church." announced
the pastor. II believe in matchmaking
that is, in the right kind Of match
making.
''This talk about dinners at lobster
palaces and expensive seats at thea
ters and taxicab bills is mistake. A
good girl who really loves man does
not want to see him make a fool Of
himself when he is counting her any
more than she wants to see him do so
after they are married"

Law And Laws.

Cosmic Law proceeds and over.rules

force governs everything as does the
sun its planets.
Minor worlds move and are subser
Went to the major power, the Big Law
Discord in the great symphonic is
soon restored to harmony, for in a
system no distractions can prevail.
This dominating power is ever pre-
sert, all-pervading and omnipotent.
No planet or world could remain or
exist that does not conform to newt
able and immutable cosmic processes.
Nor can man. For he too is sub
ject to the same big law. Yet he pre-.
sumes to set up contrivances quite in
disharmony with and opposing the law
which cannot be evaded or side
stepped.
These puny legal enactments under
which we are supposed to live, have
not nor ever will fulfil their alleged
purpose. For they are in contraven-
ton to the Law which sways all, over
look or deny it as We will. They ar,
mere Instructions hindering natural
fine effects.
Beneicent in its nature is its supreme
power. Attraction and repulsiol are
two aspects Of this great force. Oppo.
site but equal they bring about equi-
poise. This attraction - called love in
man - is counterbalanced by his i'm
pulse for selfpreservation. Being ma

Living impulses in the human ami

exist alone because OF the social need

self-preservation is equally strong with
his urge to be of service to his kind.

They never accomplish their purpose,
for they are not based on eternal prin.

Abiding reliance on Cosmic Law and
full faith in the beneficent forces func-

ly make statutory law imperative and
extinct.
The Big Law works now. But we
will get finer results and full effects

IRISH CENSUS EXPECTED
TO SHOW LESS DECREASE
Only Part Of United Kingdom Il
Which Religion Figures.

Preparations are now complete fol-
the taking Of the census In Ireland
For many decades the census In Ire
land has told gloomy tale Of dimin.
ishing population. and the most hoped
for in 1911 Is that. though the decrease
may be shown to continue, it, rats
may show some check.
The plan In ireland differed and still
differs from that at the other side OF
the Irish sea. There they have an
army Of specially appointed enumer-
ators; In Ireland the work Of collecting
the returns IL left to the police. One
Of the features Of the return which IL
exciting Increasing interest Is that de-
voted to language. Each person will
have to state whether he speaks Irish
only or both Irish and English or Eng
lish only. The figures will thus show
by comparison with former cases
whether the decay Of Irish has been
efrectually checked by the Gaelic
league and will mark those districts
where it has most real vitality.
Another question Of Importance at
fects the birth rate. Each married wo-
man will have to state the duration of
her marriage and the number Of chill
dren born Of It and how many sur
vive. Ireland is one OF the few coun.
tries which in this respect show little
change from census to census. The
actual birth rate is one of the lowest
in the world because Of economic
causes leading to the restriction Of
marriage. But the proportion of births
to marriages is one Of the highest in
the world, and the census Of 1911 will
once more demonstrate that fact.
Ireland is the only part of the United
Kingdom in which there is a religious
census. Everybody is expected to state
his form Of religious belief, though |
there is no penalty for refusing to an
swer the question. Protestants are |
urged to distinguish between their vari-
GUS denominations, and so far there
has never been any difficulty in ar
irving at pretty exact estimate as to
all the churches.
