OF the fierce pilot to claim his own.
The Rock of Perce, named for the
adjacent fishing village. is one of the
true natural wonders of our continent
When some convulsion of nature rent
tne coast this rock was split from the
nearby mountain and left standing, a
grim monument to the caprice of the
gous OF sea and land. Several hun.

nat top, its sides are beetling and one
side is about two hundred feet higher

became an out-and-out pirate. He

their turn, protected him as the Eng

AT last he was hard pressed by the
English. and having in his service a

The earth in some mysterious way

the rich Royalist and Tory families.
The sudden turning of the tide found
the Tories in possession of great

would lose these, they buried them

1t was known for many years that
on Lord Edmeston's estate near West
Edmeston, N. Y, his personal repre-.
sentative, Perdifer Carr, had buried a
treasure. The property known as the
Burdick Farm, having been bought by
Henry F. Burdick in 1850, was the
site. In 1904 tenant named Cheese

and glass, breaking half of it before he
realized what the obstruction was. By
reason Of design and quality the re-

followed for possession made the case

The Disgrace Of New York.

No greater scandal has ever
been than that which has lately
linked the New York police with
the protection of criminals and
the murder of a gambler who
had threatened to expose the re-
lationship. The courts yet have
to make clear how much of the
amazing story must be believed.
Persons who are well-informed
not only believe the whole of it,
but declare that half the truth
has not yet been told.
In some respects the conditions
that are said to exist are worse
than those that prevailed under
the Tweed ring. for the alleged
crimes are of far more heinous
character. Under Tweed, trust
ed officers of the city plundered
the treasury of enormous sums.
In this case high officer of the
police force is charged with mir
ing assassins to commit brutal
murder under a promise /of pro-
lection and immunity The OBJ
ject was to prevent the gambler
who was killed from exposing
the relations sustained toward
organized vice by a number of
police officials and men high in
the city government.

are so much better than men
that their faults are considered
greater. The one thing in this
world that is constant, the one
peak that rises above all clouds,
the one window in which the
light forever burns, the one star
that darkness cannot quench is
woman's love. 1t rises to the
greatest heights, it sinks to the
lowest depths. 1t forgives the
most injuries. 1t is perennial
of life and grows in every eli
mate. Neither GOODNESS nor neg
lect, harshness nor cruelty can
extinguish it. A woman's love
is the perfume of the heart.
This is the real love that SUBJ
dues the earth; the love that has
wrought all miracles of art; that
gives us music all the way from
the cradle song to the grand
closing symphony that bears the
soul away on wings of fire. A
love that is greater than power,
sweeter than life and stronger
than death. Robert G.Ingersoll.

THE MIsTs AT MIDDAY.

In the mists of midday are found
some of the most worrying Of the
problems Of ones existence. Why
Is it that when Nature placed the
full-orbed sun at zenith in the skies
at midday that it did not also COM
mand that the clouds and mists
should stand aside so that there might
be to the world sign of perfect
light and perfect warmth? The
sun shines at midday, but how often
is IL obscured by the nists. The
mists are earthborn. All worries
and cares and anxieties are earth
born. The sun never generates
gases that it does not illumine, but
he long reach Of It's beams is at
times unequal TO the task Of coping
with the mists that rise from the
earth itself.
So, then, let everyone, when he
feels that clouds and gloom are OBJ
securing his way, take account of his
life and see whether he is not being
obscured by mists at midday. Then
be can be assured that the sun is
shining and the skies are bright and
the titanicst struggles going on between
the light Of the universe, the light OF
truth, the light of honesty, the light
of progress and ambition find the
petty clouds of an annoying incident
or worrisome experience or chilling
loss.
The clouds Of midday pass away.
The mists of midday are soon dis
sipa,ed. These mists are mere yap.
ors, without substance. How foolish,
how wrong it is for anyone to per-
nit such things TO belle the Truths Of
God and the universe. How silly to
permit the projection of life's incl
dents against the mists of the NOM
ent to brighten one as ghostly, when,
in fact, it is the mist that makes them
seem uncanny. All things work to-
gether for good, says the philosopher
who has permission of the transmit
ng alchemy Of faith aud courage
The mists will pass away, says the
wise prognosticator, who has seen so
many OF life's worries resolve them
selves into phantoms, as no longer to
be made apprehensive ever them.
The success of life is found by
those who have the courage TO send
the note of defiance, or the note of
cheerful progress sounding through
the mists of midday. The hopes of
the heart warm and uplifting, will
not be chilled by the mists at mid
day. The visions of faith frame
themselves even in the gray haze Of
the mists and life rakes on brighter
aspect when they have passed, by
reason Of the contrasts they establish.
Let confidence remain undaunted,
let effort remain unhagging, let the
