FOURTEEN TEAMS NECK AND NECK

Madison Square Garden, New York. Dec. 2.-After riding 2S hours, all of the fifteen teams entered in the ln ternational six day bicycle race were still pedaling hard late tonight. Four teen of them were tied. having cev- cred 454 miles and one lap, and the Bowker brothers were only one ltp behind,
 This pair was unable to regain the lap which they lost during the third hour, a feat which Beilo and Markey accomplished late in the afternoon.
 Although the leaders were many miles behind the 23 hour record of 516 miles, laps. made by Fogler and Hill four years ago, the spectators became enthusiastic while the sprints for points under the French system were being decided.
 There was bad spill-the only one SO far ip the contest-about ten o. clock, when Chapman and Carman collided after the finish of a sprint oth were knocked out. but were able to resume riding about an hour later.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS FIRM,

New York, Dec 2.-President Will sons address before congress was the one outstanding feature of today's stock market, trading evincing no pro- nounced trend prior to the pubIica- ton of the message on the news tick CTS.
 Interest centered mainly in the presidents earnest plea for a modifi- cation of ante-war conditions respect ing the railroads and that group made immediate response, secondary as well as standard shares advancing one to 1-2 points after 2n early period of hesitation.
 Wall Street chose to interpret this and other features of the presidents message as strong indication that the administration is in no degree committed to government ownership Of transportations and utilities.
 Bankers expressed themselves in complete accord with the chief exc cutive's views regarding the import arce of determining without delay the amount of the tax levies for the next two years so as to facilitate the coun- try's domestic and foreign commerce.
 Apart from the rails, the, market registered few changes of interest. U. 5. Steel and kindred issues were steady to firm. Sales were 475.O0O shares.
 The only feature to bonds was the activity of a few industrial issues, the general list easing. Liberty fourth Ifs continued to sag, breaking to ae66. Total sales (par value) aggre- gated $11,e50,O0o.

them wisely. Long ago she came to see that these parks are great if nancial asset; that the beauties of their scenery and their expanses of un- touched nature possess money value for the Dominion which should not be overlooked.
 In this country we are gradually awakening to the importance of this same fact, and in Washington time to the exploitation of the national parks of the United States.
 The terrible struggle that is now going on lends peculiar force to the sentence onstwo from the last report of the Commissioner of Dominion Parks. The fundamental purpose behind the establishment and main tenance of national parks is the de- velopment and maintenance of rugged, forceful, intelligent manhood.
 The most common and the most successful treatment physician pre- scribes for a patient is an order to go to the mountains or the seaside or the country. And the logic underlying this prescription is the same logic which brought about the creation of national parks.
 The curative results which follow such an outing ane recognized to be due to the recreation in the out-of- doors involved in the trip. The out door man is likely to be in all respects the good citizen.
 In the parks in the Dominion of Canada are many of the large wild animals once widely distributed over portions of the western part of Ameri- ca. Deer, elk, moose, sheep, antelope and white goats are to be found un- disturbed and unafraid in places easily accessible to the public. Canada has the greatest herd of buffalo in the world, and many of these, it will be remembered, were sold to Canada by a resident of Montana. This herd, which now numbers more than 24o0 head, is distributed in diff ferent parks, large and small. Re gently a fine herd of elk was imported to Canada from the Yellowstone Ma tional Park
 Within a year or two a band of 50 wild antelope was captured by builG- ing fence around the area in which they ranged. This experiment has been successful up to the present time; the antelope have thriven. and for the year show an increase of over 20, so that there are now 70 in the re- serve.

HoGANs SHOOT NEXT, IN

Authority on Trapshooting Matters

Authority on Trapshooting Matters
 Year. after year for dozen years the Westy Hogans trapshooting tournament has been second in i'm portance only to the Grand American Handicap trapshooting tournamant. This year was no exception to the long established rule.
 The Hogans shoot wasn't as big this year as it was in 1917, neither was the Grand American. The World War played havoc with lot of things. mainly sports, and if it con- tinues much longer the outlook for sporting events in 1919 will be decid- edly slim. There will be no ban on sports, but it will be mighty difficult to obtain the materials with which to participate in youn favcrite sport.
 The Grand American Handicap is always the biggest event of trap don-in fact, the biggest event on the calendar of sports There were 620 entrants in it this year and 230,O39 targets were thrown. The entrants last year were sos and 303 900 targets were hurled over Lake Michigan. The Hogans this year tossed over the waters of the Atlantic at Atlantic City 161,980 targets as against 17S,- 745 the year before. The entrants thise year were PA against 314 of 1917.
 The biggest State shoot was that of Pennsylvania. There were PIP en- trants and 103,S2O targets were thrown. The biggest State tourna- ment of the year before was in Ok lahoma with 199 entrants and the trapping of 95 4SO targets.
 The tournaments at Lakewood, Ma ple9wood and of the American Indians were larger this year than in 1917, Lakewood had ITO entrants against 90 the year previous; Maplewood had 112 against 76 and the Indians had 164 against 10S Lakewood threw S5,- $50 targets against 77,095 and the Indians, S8 S45 against 74,S75 Pine hurst dropped off, having IA en- trants and throwing 122,765 targets as against 152 entrants and 140,540 tar gets in 1917.
 Canada. of course, was harder hit by the war than the United States, and this was evident in the Canadian National tournamanet. which attract ed 76 entries and threw 46,800 targets as against 99 entrants aid 73,3S5 tar- gets the year previous.
 The Minks tournament. in Omaha, taking the place of the Western Handicap. attracted 112 entrants and threw 67.550 targets. The Phila- delphia Trapshooters' League, the largest trapshooting league in the United States, threw 172 900 targets. There were no subsidiary or section al handicap tournaments this year, the handicaps in. each State toltrna- men replacing these events.

Walking With GOD
Only Those Redeemed by the
Blood of Christ Can Enjoy
That Privilege.

This has been the uppermost topic
In my mind, and my constant medita-
ton. and the theme of several Bible
studies, during these past summer
DAYS, and I can thiEk of nothing so
glorious while We sojourn in these NOR
tai bodies. Such life is the privilege
of every true believer, and gives q fore
taste Of heaven even here on earth.
we cannot begin this walk, this heav-
enly life, till we are redeemed for the
spirit through Micah, when he exhorts
to do Justly, love mercy and humble
ourselves to walk with God, is speak
ING to those who had been redeemed,
Micah Ga, s. 1t is impossible for
those who are not redeemed by the
precious blood Of Jesus Christ, as
Israel was saved from death by the
blood of the Passover lamb in Egypt,
to walk one step with God. 1t Is the
height of folly and unbelief to think
or talk of serving God, or worshiting
him, or holding communion with him.,
unless we have been born from above
and become children of God by faith
in Christ Jesus. The sad thing is that
so few of his redeemed ones seem to
want to walk with him, for it is so
costly, and the way is so narrow, yet he
is ever looking and longing for such,
that he may show himself strong on
their behalf, and be glorified in them,
II Chron. 1919. 1t is written of Enoch,
Noah and Levi, that they walked with
God, Genesis 5 "a; 60; Nal. 2:6; but
If we consider the cost of it to each OF
them, and that the whole world still
lieth in the evil one, the prince and
god of this world, and that fellowship
with the world means enmity with
God Q John $40, R. v; John IA 30;
II Cor. A James 4:4), 1t may help US
to understand why, though many are
called, few are willing to be his choice
ones. It means constant living with
him, walking as he walked, walking in
love, much study Of his purpose as re-
vealed through the propnets, lull
agreement with him about everything
and every detail OF his plans, no Will
of our own about anything, sincere and
continual abandonment Of our whole
being to him, that he may work IN us
to will and to do all his good pleas
ure, and that we desire in all things
and at all times only his approval q
Thess. $40; I John 2:G; Eph. 81;
Luke "a %; Amos 3:S, Z; John 6:3S;
$50; Romans IL. .; Phil. 2:13; l
Thcss. 2:4). 1t implies patient con-
tinuance in well-doing till absent from
the body or caught up to meet him IN
the air not thinking of any set time on
which he may come, but wholly occu-
pied with himself, and ready to fill any
appointment of service or suffering IL
only he may be glorified in us.KRev.

NOW TO LOVE IN GODS WAY
The Infinite EverIasting Never Failing
Love of God is Our Perfect
Pattern.

Love that depends on circumstances
Is not love. Love that grows deeper
and better under the loved ones re-
sponse is not love. Perfect love, so
perrcct that it cannot be improved up
on, alone is real love. God loves Us
with that unimprovably perfect love
and we can love others with the same
love. To have Gods own actual life
as our literal life is the secret; and
Gods perfect love offers to us his only
son Christ. who is God, to be not only
our Savior but our life and our love.
When we accept Gods gift in entire
faith in him, then God abideth in us,
and his love is perfected in US q
John 4:12). H. G. Guinness has de-
scribed this perfect and perfected
love: "There is therefore love which
is Infinite in It's measure! There is q
love which is everlasting in its dura-
ton; which is omnipotent in it's power,
which is Interchangeable in its character,
which is all perrading in its presence,
which passcth knowledge! There Is Il
love which has creation for its theatcr
earth for its footstool Heaven for its
Chief abode, it's everlasting home! or
all created love it is the source. and of
all blessings it is the sivcr" And IT is
with exactly this supernatural love
that God asks and enables us to love
othcrs,--"because as he is. even so are
we in this world" Il John 4:1O.-S.

But, just because it is the
easiest and simplest Way, it is the

Meet Trouble.

Rise above small things. The wom-
an who lets small things worry her
will be completely undone the first
time she meets with really big prob
lem. It is disintegrating to your nell
tai and nervous condition, not to men-
ton your physical condition, to worry.
You needn't be resigned to fate nor
slip your troubles off rs the old friend

can meet troubles with will to con-
quer them or adjust them-and, after
that, "they should worry" but not you.

Bows Drowned, Cat Escaped.

The tables were turned in tragic
manner at Port Elizabeth, South Af-
rica, recently when two young boys
who attempted to drown a cat-at the
request of the animals owner-were
themselves drowned in small bay
about three miles from the city. The
cat struggled when the lads tried to
hold it's head under the waves and be-
fore the boys realized their danger
they were swept out to sea by the out
going tide. The cat escaped from the
water and returned to its old home.
