Those present last Saturday remarked
upon the many improvements recently
made, including plank stand for the
shooters, with ammunition stands and
some handsome gun racks, the latter be-
ing the work of c. A. Gle, who presented
them to the Club. Interest in the club
is increasing and these shoots promise
to add greatly thereto. Secretary Schutt
and few others have put much work
into the project and the assured success
of the club is due largely to their efforts.

THE ROCK OF GIBRALTAR

The rock of Gibraltar, taking into
consideration the far-carrying guns
tnat are now being cast, will be even
OF greater importance because of its
commanding position at the mouth of
mediterranean, where that sea is little
more than 20-miles wide-about ,s
wide as from Calais to Dover. CibraI-
tar was captured by the British Julv
"a, 1904, and from that day has not
been out of British hands. AT first
little was thought of the Importance OF
this stronghold. For the succeeding
nine years the Spaniards made repeat-
ed attempts to recapture it, On one
occasion they nearly succeeded. A
French and Spanish force having
been collected on the isthmus that
joins the rock to the mainland. a goat
nerd offered to show them a path IN
the sloping sides of the rock. which
he had reason to believe was unknown
to the British. This cffer was accent
ed: Five hundred troops assembled
quietly one night and took shelter in
a hollow called by the Spaniards '.the
little chair" At daybreak next morn
ing they assembled higher, took the
signal station. killed the guard and
anxfously looked for reinforcements
The reinforcements failed to arrive
Yhe armed garrison sailed out and
drove the invaders down the rock
The little chair" was filed up and
place made stronger than ever. All
subsequent attempts to capture the
rock have failed. One of them was a
siege by Spain and France, beginning
in 1873 and not terminating until Sep-
tember, 17S3.-Chicago Journal.

by Watts, Life and Death go hand in
hand while Eternity broods over them
both"
The women of England are passing
through a great transition period. The
old order of things is being swept
away and a new one is taking its
place. The society girls in particular
are not prepared for it. For they
nave been brought up to think that
marriage is their ultimate goal-the
solution of Life's riddle for women.
And now they must face the fact
that half their generation of male sex
is swept away
mot being we'll versed in statistics" )"
declares Lady Troubridge, II cannot
say what the preponderance of women
over men will be. but whatever it may
be, 1t will do away with the certainty
or marriage for any girl.
Polygamy is unthinkable in Eng
land, and from a financial standpoint
1t is impossible, for a man will have
as much as he can do to support one
wife, let alone more"
The thing which the women of Eng
land must now do is cultivate the tai
ents they possess and seek their hap
piness in work and some chosen vo-
cation. There is no dearth of occupa-
tions to choose from, and that girls
can do some of the work hitherto
performed by men has been clearly
and most efficiently demonstrated.
Every girl in Britain must face the
problem and apply herself to 1t seri-
ously. There must be no more wasted
hours in the life of the girl of the
leisure classes. She must realize that
existence has now taken on different
and deeper meaning and that life is
real and sometimes desperately
earnest.
The woman who is self-supporting
is, after all, in no wise to be pitied.
And the grave social problem which
will arise after the war will be met
by the women of England with an un-
daunted spirit.

Adam met him after he was banished
from the Garden of Eden. Eve also
knew him after she ate the forbidden
fruit. Pharaoh must have been well
acquainted with hima he met him re-
peatedly. He was with Joseph's 8
brethren long time after they sold
Joseph into Egypt. Saul, David, Solo
mon and all the kings of old knew him
well. And in the New Testament we
find men who also know him. Judas,
who betrayed the Lord and afterward
killed himself, Peter who denied his
Master. And so on all the way
through the Bible and up to the pres
ent time. We all know him or have
met him. Could we by any power an

cares to profit by the experience of
others, and therefore all must learn

bitter in the extreme.
Experience! II our conscience were
not hardened, and we would listen to
its dictates oftener. we might become
less familiar with r. E. Morse. Look

is, we might avoid his acquaintance;
