by Rev. Mr.. Simonds Of Pawtucket,

Congregational church, using for his
text St John i; Ia. Considering the
weather conditions a goodly number
were in attendance. Mr. simonds may
be said to be natural, interesting
cultured preacher, and all who llster-
ed TO him wish thet he may come
again when weather conditions are
moro favorable for larger attend
ance. The evening service drew out
a greater number than usual, which
was evidence of the appreciation OF
the morning sermon, and was of a
special devotional and impressive
character, the preacher using for a
text the words of Paul, Il have kept
the faith" Next Sunday will be OBJ

f. C. Whiting of South Sudbury,
Mass, is expected to preach and ad-
dress the children at the exercises at

POPPY'S VALUE LONG KNOWN
Abundant Evidence That Qualities OF
the Plant Were Appreciated
Many Centuries Ago.

The poppy plant was originally in
digenous to the valley of the Nile, and
many centuries before Christ it was
imported into Persia. There 1t was
grown with even greater success than
in its natural haunts, and for many
years there was great discussion as
to the merits of Persian and Thebatc
poppy from the city of Thebes. There
are several ancient references which
clearly indicate the important position
which poppy leaves occupied in an
Client times. Homer knew all about
it, for in the fourth book Of the Odys-
sey he relates the story OF present
of poppy sent by the wife of Thop,
an Egyptian king, to Helen. Hippo
crates first recommended it's use as
medicine and sent out with 1t warn
ing that it was dangerous. Morphine,
the alkaloid crystallizable extract OF
opium, which contains its medicinal
and narcotic properties, was first
made by Seguin, in 1908, and later
Serturner gave it it's name after the
Latin derivative meaning "to Sleep"
It was about this time that DR.. John
Leigh delivered prize essay before
the Harveian society of England on
opium and its derivatives, calling at
tention to the dangers of forming a
habit, and publishing this essay, later
dedicating it to George Washington.

SYMBOL Of BRUTE FERocITY
In All Ages the Tiger Has Been
Famed for Its Strength, Daring
and Deep Cunning. -

It Is said that the tiger has never
been made the basis Of a royal emblem
except by Tippoo, the famous sultan Of
Mysore. Tippoo himself was as Zero
cious as wild animal and kept near
him a mechanical toy representing a
life-sized tiger worrying the body OF
British soldier When the toy was
wound up the tiger growled and the
soldier groaned and Tippoo smiled.
1t may be that the tiger, though the
ideal of brute symmetry and power,
has never attained unto the dignity Of
royal emblem for the reason that in
every language the word for this ami
NAL is synonym for stealthy, cruel,
strong-limbed ferocity. Nature has
made the tiger unequaled in the COM
bination Of speed, strength, cunning,
daring and physical beauty: A tigers
first bounds are, SO rapid as to bring
it alongside an antelope, and a blow
of Its paw will stun a charging bull.
1t has been known to spring over
wall five feet high into cattle pen
and to jump back with full-grown
animal in its jaws. Sportsmen say
that they have known it to carry away
the bait while they were putting up
the shelters from wh1ch~to shoot it,
