senlbly, the Petrograd correspondent Of
tie Daily News, says, had nothing OF
the character of a serious meeting OF
patriots prepared to work together for
the creation of "A new Russia. There is
no essential difference between the
aim of the social revolutionists and
the bolshevists, their opposition being
merely personal. The correspondent
adds:
Russia, judging from Fridays meet
ing, Is fairly unanimous regarding what
it wants. The question is less what is
to be done. than, who is to do it."

In a Tigers Lair.

In the lair of tiger there are GER
tain terraces, or places under over
hanging trees, which are covered with
bones, and are evidently spots to which
the animal brings its prey to be de-
voured. On such terrace one will
find the remains of deer. Wild hog,
dog. pig, porcupine, pnnsolin and 9TH
er animals both domestic and wild. A
fresh kill shows that with Its rasplIke
tongue the tiger licks Off nll the hair of
its prey before devouring it and the
hair will be found in circle around
what remains Of the kill. The Chinese
often raid lair in order to gather up
the quills of the porcupine and the
bony scales OF the pangolin which are
esteemed for medicinal purposes.-Ex-

Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

1t was a splendid crowd which gath
cred at Shorter Church last Sunday
afternoon to witness the program rem
dered under the auspices of the Wom-
ems Service League and the "Y." The
occasion was the presentation of a
service flag to the ''Y" by the ladies
of the League. Mrs. Isabelle Stewart
was SO deeply interested that she rose
from sick bed to be present at the
meeting. Mrs. Judge LIE Fevre opened
the speaking with an address on the
objects of the League. She was fol
lowed by Rev. DR.. C. Fl. Mead, pastor
of Trinity M. y. Church, who gave a
vivid description of conditions as they
exist on the battle front. He also
gave exhibitions of gas attacks, etc
The thrilling address of the occasion
was made by Mrs. Grenfell, who
spoke with all the enthusiasm of her
soul She, too, has been overseas, and
has a most wonderful story.
After the speaking was over, Mrs
Stewart, with voice trembling with
emotion, presented the service flag
She said that the race had suffered
and is still suffering, what no other
race had ever been called on to bear
But" said she, "in spite of it all We
are still true to our country, and mean
to remain so even to the end"
In brief response, Secretary Thorn
as J. Bell received the flag on behalf
of the "Y."
The good weather has called out a
number of good croquet players, and
many great games have been pulled
off.
Next Sunday afternoon at the Zior
Baptist Church public patriotic meet
ing of the Y. NJ. c. A. will be held
Rev. DIR. D. e. Over, who has just re
turned from trip to Camp Lewis anc

er, telling of his experiences and how
