Curious Death of an hex.

A male Cretan ibex has killed itself
in a very remarkable way at the Lon
don geological gardens. When spar

horns in the bars and wire netting Of
the fence. Whether or not he thought
his opponent was the cause Of the re-
straint put upon his actions, and that
a desperate effort was necessary to
free himself, cannot be known; but
with one powerful wrench he pulled
the top of his skull out, tearing the
skin off the scalp, and exposing the
lacerated brain. He dropped to all in
tents and purposes dead on the spot,
just as if a rifle shot had cracked
through his skull The probability is

missing his footing as he came down,
threw all his weight with a jerk on
the top Of his skull

FOOTWEAR OF A NEW KIND |
Present Craze for Dancing Has
Brought Forth Some Good Ideas
From the Designers.

The craze for dancing has set new
pace for footwear. Dancers have in
sisted upon dainty boots with high
heels and the lightest of soles, for
heavy boots make graceful dancing i'm
possible AS boots have grown light
er they have also grown prettier and
more fanciful in type, and the plain
boot with vamp and top of the same
leather is now a thing Of the past
Even walking boots are of the dainty,
graceful type with buttoned tops of
contrasting leather or of cloth The
buttoned boot remains the favorite
of correct form for all formal wear
and dozens Of attractive styles are
ready for the new season. A charm
ing boot is intended for dress wear,
but because of the light welted sole it
may be worn in the street. Patent
leather is combined with a buttoned
top of black and white striped silk
cloth. The boot comes also in bronze

Poetry and the Soldier.

From music on the march to poetry
on the battlefield is only a step.
Poetry has relieved the tedium be-
fore the action. Mr.. Hutton, in his
Life of Scott, gives the illustration:
when the Lady of the Lake reached
Sir Adam Ferguson he was posted
with his company on a piece Of
ground exposed to the enemy's artil-
lery, somewhere, no doubt, on the
lines of Torres Vedras. The men
were ordered to be PROSTATE on the
ground; while they kept that attitude,
the captain, kneeling at the head,
read aloud the description of the bat
tie in Canto VI, and the listening sol
diers only interrupted him by joy

HOW often it has happened in our
Al great international baseball con-
tests that a team which everybody
felt sure would win, has lost the game
through the fatal fumbling of the ball
or a slip through the fingers at a
critical moment. Perhaps everything
up to that unfortunate tumble or slip
foreshadowed victory, and then in an
instant ali was lost because perhaps
through an overwhelming sense OF
fear of losing the game some players
brain became confused
Just so, in the great life game, a
simple slip has often proved fatal
mistake; something which seemed a
mere trife has resulted in dire defeat.
Il is not lough to be scientific and
efficient and level-headed the ma
jority of the time; we must be so all
the time.
Give us a man who is not easily
thrown off his guard, or off his bal
ance," is the cry when danger
threatens. The man who can think
clearly and act wisely when others
get excited is the man who is every
where sought to save the day in a
crisis; he is always wanted for i'm
portant positions, because in emer.
gencies, which are always likely to
ar +, everybody feels safer in his
hands.
There is something superb, some.
thing we cannot help revering and
admiring in a person who can stand

GOLDEN TEXT-woe unto that man
through whom the Son of Man is be-
trayed- Matt 26:42 R. V.
No literature has a more terrible
story than that of Judas. Matthew
gives US perhaps the fullest account
of his last acts and the part he had in
those final hours of the suffering and
death of Jesus
Mary's act of amounting, by Jesus
commended, and by Judas condemned,
caused the latter to fare forth for his
final act of faithless infamy Con
trasted with the odor of her good deed,
we here have the stencil of an evil
deed.
!. The Bargain, w. 1925. (D The
Price, w. 1916. Disappointed in his
hopes that Jesus would establish an
earthly kingdom wherein he should
hold a high position, stung by the re-
Duke of Wv. 1913 (cf. John 12:4-S) and
moved by cupidity, Judas hurries to
the enemies of Jesus (see John 10:

from the rulers. He estimated his
worth at 80 pieces of silver about sew
enteen or nineteen dollars, or the
value Of a slave; see Elk. 21:22 and
Phil 2:7, also the prophecy of Zechar-
iah 11:12-13. Hate, envy, disappointed
ambition, and cupidity drove Juoas
with relentlessness in his final act Of
infamy. Verify, Whatsoever a man

we read the various accounts of that
tragic last night we note that being
warned and singled from among the
other disciples in no wise moved JUDAS
to repentance. The conspiracy, See

Must Be Born Again.

Even grace cannot save US in our
sins. All Of his gifts, his nearness to

OF Jesus, did not grip his heart Head
knowledge alone never saved anyone
1t is not enough even to be numbered
among the disciples. There must be a

final warning and John tells us 13:27)
that following these words he is com

II. The Betrayal, Wv. 47-5O There
are four stages in this episode: Cd In
the house Of Simon at the amounting of
Jesus by Mary; GU The one just con-
sidered and which took place in the
upper room" in connection with the
Passover feast; CD The third is the
subject of his paragraph and took
place in the Garden following the
events of last weeks lesson. This
picture has been painted SO often as
to be familiar to US all. The Son of
Man, the advancing apostate disciple,
Judas had probably led first to the
house whence he had left Jesus. Find
Ing Jesus and the disciples had de-
parted ". 800 he knew where, in all
proba bility, he would find the Master
1t was a familiar resort for Jesus and
his disciples, John 1872, g. Judas had
often sat under these same olive trees
and listened to him who taught as
never man taught" 1t was also
place sacred to prayer. How things
are changed. Judas had allowed Satan
to enter his heart John 1927, see also
James 40 and with eager feet he
crosses the brook kedron, past the
disciples and into the presence OF
Jesus to betray him with a kiss.
The Final Stage.

self" 27:3-10. The fourth and final
stage Is reached when, seeing that
Jesus is condemned and about to be
executed, Judas, filled with remorse,
carried back the 80 pieces of silver to
the chief priests and the elders. What
denced, not to take the price of blood,
forsooth! Judas did not really repent.
The word here used for repent" is
rather that he suffered remorse, and
that does not necessarily involve re-
pentance as we all know. Had he
truly repented he would not have
hanged himself and he would have
been saved even as the repentant thief
was saved
There is no necessary contradiction
between this and the account given in
Acts g. IF he hanged himself in the
field of blood and the rope broke the
account given in Acts would naturally
follow"
The Teaching. AS We recall these
final things in the life of Judas we
must remember that they are not the
beginnings of his detection. The de-
velopment of the lives of Judas and
Peter are profoundly different Both
looked for a temporal kingdom and
both were out of sympathy with the
teachings of Jesus as to the necessity
of his death. One, for personal gain,
betrayed, and the other, for self-pro-
lection, denied his Lord. When Judas
saw Jesus condemned, he too saw the
end Of his dreams the same as Peter
In that hour he committed suicide, al
act Of cowardice of the worst kind.
