Tho Indian Chief From Whom the Ca

Not many persons know what was
by the Canadian city that Mr.. Rud-
yard Kipling once called 1.-The city

The word medicine" means more to
an Indian than to us. We think of 1t as
meaning something nasty that Is good
for us. but the Indian distinguishes as
good medicine" and bad medicine"
anything that he fancies will change
his fortunes for better or for worse.
Imagine that Lo is hunting antelope
and meeting with no success. Pres
emily he finds an empty cartridge shell
or the top of tomato tin. and shortly
afterward he gets shot at his game.
Can he doubt that the piece Of tin or
the shell gave the luck? Not he. He
wears that fragment of tomato tin or
empty shell about his neck with his
other jewelry. and 1t is good medi-

Several years ago there was a Black

and his tribe were fond of hunting and
of making war ON their enemies. the
Crees. This chief always wore head

1t was a dark day for the chief when
he last met the Crees at the place
where now stands the growing city
He and his men fell upon the enemy

 19. My little children, of whom l travail in birth again until Christ DC formed in you,
 : 20. I desire to be present with you now, and to change my voice; for stand in doubt of you.
 21. Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
 22. For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by freewoman.
 23. But he who was of the bond woman was born after the flesh; put he of the freewoman was by promise.
 24. Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the che from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
 25. For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusa- lem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
 26. But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us alf.
 27. For it is written, Rejoice, thou barren that bearest not; break forth and cry, thou that travailest not: for the desclate hath many more children than she which hath an husband.
 2S. Now we. brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise.
 29. But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.
 30. Nevertheless what saith the scripture? Cast out the bondwon.an and her son: for the son of the bond woman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman.
 31. So then, brethren, We are not children of the bandwoman, but of the free.

LAST YEARS PHILANTHROPIES.

Although five months of the year 1914 were occupied with war of all most worldwide dimensions, the az giegate amount of the great benefac- tions of the year exceed those of 1913 by $S,O0O,00O, those of 1913 amounting to $302,OOO,O00, while thu great gifts of 1914 aggregated $310,' COG, ,OOO.
 Sir Julius Wernher, a London dia- mond merchant, heads the list of the givers of millions in 1914 by a gift to London hospital of $19,235,OO0, while James Campbell of St. Louis follows with the gift of his entire estate to the 1pedical department of the St Louis University. This gift is estimated at from $1o,Ooo000 to $15,- O00,O00 and may therefore exceed that of the London philanthropist.
 ,As usual, the benefactions of John D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie rose to tremendous totals. The
  several millions devoted to the relief of the Belgians and large sums to the University of Chicago, the Rocke feller institute, the Young Mems Christian association, the Red Cross and to small institutions of learning and various charitable institutions.
 Mo, Cav, nriN co DOfl nnn II the cause of international peace, q million each to Vanderbilt university and the Carnegie Institute of Tech nology, $2,0O0,0oO to the Carnegie institute at Pittsburg and smaller sums various other educational and charitable institutions.
 Asa Chandler gave a million dol lars for the foundation of a Metho- dist university at Atlanta and R. A. Long gave a million for the founda- ton of a fund for the Christian church. Col. o. H. Payne gave $4,- 35O,OO0 to Cornell university ond many smaller colleges throughout the country received substantial en dOwments.
 Because of the European war. the great benefactions of 1915 may go more in the direction of charitable work than educational, scientific and religious institutions. Great fortunes are piling up in the United States, but many of them are being used for the common good.

London, Jan. 15.-Rescuers, working by torchlight, toiled all night amidst the ruins of Avezzano, a Rome dis patch from the Stefani agency says, but the work is necessarily slow be-, cause of the great amount of wreck age to be removed.
 Firemen from Rome are centering their efforts above the girls school in which sc many of the pupils are buried. They have recovered one liv- ing child and one body.
 King Victor Emmanuel left Avez- zano last night, but the minister Of public works, the under secretary of state, and other officials remain.
 A number of physicians have arriv- ed, and with the help of the troops, are organizing two hospitals and camp for survivors.
 It will be weeks before anywhere near an accurate death roll is obtaIn- able
 The Central News published dis patch from Rome giving the recital or an Avezzano refugee.

AND RAILROADS.

Kansas railroads are blaming auto mobiles for such a substantial loss in passenger business that they must raise rates from ? cents to cents a mile. Experts say that by fixing the cost, maintenance and average life of the automobile, the mileage it cov- CTS is equivalent to 20 cents a mile.
 It would seem that the fellow with the automobile doesn't mind paying considerably more than 3 cents Il mile to gad about; but in the case of the fellow without the machine, that's different again.
