While engaged in the active duties of a clergyman of the Episcopal Church, Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady has found time to write over half 3 hundred books which have won for him a host of admirers throughout the English-speaking world pr. Brady has a. volume to his credit for each year of his life, since he was born hfty-two years ago to-day in Allegheny, Pa, and when it is con Bidered that he did not begin his Iit- erary career until fifteen years ago it will be realized that he is a prolific writer. pr. Brady's first ambition was to become an admiral in Uncle Sam's Navy, and with this end in view he secured an appointment to An napolis and graduated from the Naval Academy in 1883. Later he decided ture, and for several years he was em- pIoyed on the Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific railways. It was while thus engaged that he felt stir ring in his heart the call to the min lstry, and he took up the study of theology under Bishop Worthington of Nebraska. In 1890 he was ordain- ed a priest of the Episcopal church, and was rector of churches in Cobra do and Missouri and archdeacon of Kansas, and later archdeacon of Pennsylvania. He was rector of a Philadelphia church when he scored his first successes as an author with '.For Love of Country and For the Freedom of the Sea-" In the year 1900, ~ffie Dr. Brady still full filling the duties of&a minister, five books appeared under his name. In 1902 he resigned his charge to devote his entire time to literature, but the gall of the church was too insistent for him to resist, and three years la ter he accepted the pulpit of a To- ledo church. In 1909 he went to Kansas City, and later to a church in Mount Vernon, a suburb of New York city A few months ago pr. Brady was criticised for a too great devotion to rituaIism, and invited to go over to the O Roman Catholic church.

Theodore Elijah Burton has driv- en another nail into the coffin that encloses the old lie that clergymen's sons never amount to anything. Who's whoses are full of minister's sons. not the least distinguished of them being the United States senator from Ohio, who was born in Jefferson, O., sixty two years ago to-day, the son of the Rev. William Burton. During his twenty years in the United States Congress, as representative and sen ator MT. Burton has been famous as an authority on water, as used in riv- CTS, oceans, seas, lakes and other aquatic institutions provided by na- ture for purposes of transp portation.
 Many "dainty-souled'' people are shocked in their sensibilities by the
 mere thought of boxing, and,5 without giving the matter any consideration, condemn the sport as a manifesto tion of brutality not to be tolerated in any civilized community. These worthy people will be surprised to learn that Maurice Maeterlinck, poet, playwright and philosopher, does not share their views, but is himself a de- voted disciple of the manly art" The great Belgian is honored throughout the world as one of the greatest liv- ing men of letters. His works are characterized by a purity, refinement and delicacy of expression hardly to be surpassed in all literature. Yet
 this is what MaeterIinck thinks of +I,1 TraiI
 Mail:
 'sIt is the supreme intellectual exer-
 else of muscles. All others are but
 dead bodies Of exercise. Complete
 harmony of every factor of the mind and body - where else is it to be
 found No particle of energy in the whole being which has not it's pole in those two fists. Boxing, far from provoking brutality or violence, is the discipline of violence. It is violence civilized by conventions that are aI-
 most courtesies It is insurance against violence. If every boy were taught to box the world would ere long come to hold human life in
 greater sanctity.''
 There was a time when Maeterlinck held the popular conception of the big game. Attendance at boxing
 show in Paris completely changed his opinion, and he immediately became an enthusiast. He sought 1nstruc- ton under Kid Mccoy, the former mid dfeweight champion of the world, and Georges Carpenter. the cham pion of France, and found them to be ireaI gentlemen, devoid of the low in stincts often attributed to the knights of the padded mitts. Although near ing the half century mark, the phil kosopher quickly developed into clever boxer, and in the process lost many physical ailments that had be- gan to affIict him. For three years
 MaeterIinck has engaged in a boxing
 bout practically every day, and. al though he is now we'll past fifty, hi proficiency with the gloves is declar- ed to be little short of marvellous.

THE STOCK MARKET.
Banker Henry clewa.)

The year is closing with feeling of more encouragement on the Stock Exchange. It is now time for calm -restraint and more hopefu1ness
 Recovery may develop when least eN- pected. It should be remembered that many adverse conditions have been amply discounted by present low prices. With the tariff and currency problems taken out of politics there is so much gained. There is also in creased hope that the railroads will eventually secure partial concessions. Government ownership of railroads and te1egraphs may be coming issues, but they are far from accomplish 1nent A considerable short interest exists, and buying power Of con siderable importance has grown through the withholding of investment purchases for months back; these are elements of strength. January dlvl- dend payments will approach $780, 100000, and any favorable news under such conditions would be apt to pre- cipitate a sharp rise. The immediate future will be @ good deal influenced by financial conditions abroad, which may soon begin to right themselves.

EDITORIAL NOTES

The first general assembly or the rhurch of Scotland was convened on this date, Dec. goth, in 156O Ear Her in the same year the parliament had abolished the Jurisdiction of the pope in Scotland During the same year John Knox composed the Pres byterian formulary of faith, which was approved by the parliament and ratified seven years later. Presoy- terianis1n became the established form of church government in Scot land in 1896, by an act of the Scot tish senate, and this was confirmed by the treaty of union with England in 17o7. Within a decade after the first general assembly, Presbyterianisn1 spread to England, and the first meeting house of the denomina- ton in that country was built at Wordsworth, Surrey. in 1572. In fact, the church was opened just a few days before the death of John Knox, leader of the Reformation in Scotland. The general assembly con stitutes the highest ecclesiastical court in Scotland. and holds annual sessions in Edinburgh.

John Worth Kern, Democratic leader in the United States Senate and candidate for the Vice-Presiden- cy of the United States in the 1908 campaign. was born at Alto, Ind, sixty-four years ago to-day. Like Vice President Marshall, Senator Kern is a lifelong Hoosier. He was educated, twice married, practiced law and entered politics in that State which has produced more statesmen and literary lights than any other in the Union, with possibly one or two exceptions MT: Kern has been a Bryan man from A to 2, and it has been said that he regards the Nebras- ka statesman as heavens noblest gift to man. The Senator was raised in the Indiana backwoods, and had about reached his full stature-which, physically, is not great - before he ever saw a railroad train. He was twice an unsuccessful candidate for governor of Indiana, and was defeat ed for the Senate as well as for the Vice-Presidency, before he finally landed in a big job. The moral of Kernss career is that if at first you don't succeed. take another whack at the ball
