ONLY NEEDED TO BE FED
Simple Reason Why. Imported Engine
Could Not Be Persuaded to
Do lts Duty.

The first locomotive used on the
Champlain & st. Lawrence railroad
came from Europe, accompanied by an
engineer who, for some unexplained
reason, had it Gagged and secreted from
public view. The trial trip was made
by moonlight, in the presence Of a few
interested persons, and it is not de-
scribed as a success Later, the i'm
ported engineer made several attempts
to Get the Kittsn-for such was the
nickname applied to this pioneer loco
motive-in motion toward st. Johns,
but In vain the engine proved refrac-
tory, and horses were temporarily sub
stituted for 1t. ....
Meanwhile, the railroad officials call

CENTER OF MANY LEGENDS
Famous Dome Of the Rock, in the Holy
Land, Has Long Been Held
Sacred Place.

The Mussulman's grief at the fall Of
Jerusalem is largely conferred in the
fate Of the Dome Of the Rock. For
centuries devout Mohammedans have
journeyed to this spot, which they
count second only to the holy places Of
Mecca in religious significance.
Directly under the rounded dome
topped with the Turkish crescent is the
sacred rock about which a host Of ira
ditions- Jewish, Christian and Mo
Aammedan-have been collected. From
this rock Mohammed assembled into
heaven on his steed Ell Borak, the light
ming. Here also, If tradition is worth
anything, rested. Noah's rk,rand Jacob
saw the angelica vision. This spot is
18 miles, nearer. heaven than any 9TH

the old Jewish theory that this is the

There is little room for argument

reject them as you win. But long and
heated have been the learned disser-
tations to decide whether this identical
spot, already overcrowded with asso-
Citations. is the site Of Solomon's tenn
pie or Of the tomb Of Christ. Science
now leans toward the former conclu-
sion and grants that very likely the
rock marks the place where stood the
altar Of the famous Jewish temple.
Even for q confirmed skeptic the
place must hold some interest, for the
structure protecting the rock is a
worthy rival Of the Tai Mahal in beau.

BY ZION JUNIOR CHOIR AND KINDERGARTEN
The Cantata, Under the Palms, will be
rendered by Zion Junior Choir and Kin
dergarten in Shiloh Tabernacle, on next
Thursday evening, April TO-
This Cantata is intended to illustrate
the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, or Har-
vest Festival and to present a view of the
teaching of the prophet Ezra.
At the Feast of Tabernacles the people
dwell for one week in little tents or booths
made of evergreens, and ornamented with
fruits and flowers.
The Cantata represents the return of the
Jews from captivity in Babylon during the
reign of Cyrus the repose of the pilgrims
on their way to Jerusalem by Ahava
River, where they prayed to God for future
direction for themselves and ''their little
ones - and the triumphant celebration of the
Feast of Tabernacles after their return, as
described in Nehemiah, when the people
made VOW never again to forsake the
house of the Lord"
This Cantata is in line with the present
series of Bible School lessons given each
Lords Day forenoon in Shiloh Tabernacle,
covering the books of Ezra and Nehemiah.
The Kindergarten will be under the direc-
ton of is own conductor, little lad five
and one-half years old, thus presenting
very unique and pleasing feature.
The solos, duets and quartets will be sung
BY members of the Senior Choir The Can
tata will be rendered with full pipe organ,
piano, brass quartet, stringed instrument
and various trap accessories.

THE PRACTICAL WORKING OF
BOLSEEVISM

An editorial recently appeared in the Sat-
wday EVening Post, headed, "Facts About
Russia"
In it, attention is drawn to the fact that
the general public has considered reports
emanating from Russia as distorted one way
or another S o c alists s, however,
collected vast amount of authentic infor-
nation regarding conditions, which was
placed before their international convention
held recently at Berne.
Owing to the fact that the Russian boil
shevists suppressed every publication not
friendly to them, the Socialists CLEANED their
information from the bolshevist papers
themselves, carefully giving the authority
for statements made in each case.
In gathering this information, the Social
lists were not interested in what the boil
sheviki did to the bourgeoisie, or property
owning class, as they themselves had no
love for them Neither were they inter
ested in reports of terrorism, rnassacres, etc,
as they considered that things of that sort
naturally accompany revolution.

LOWDEN SUGGESTS AMENDMENTS
TO MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE LAWS
OF ILLINOIS
ONE IN EVERY NINE MARRIAGES ENDS IN
DIVORCE OVER COUNTRY AT LARGE

ONE IN EVERY NINE MARRIAGES ENDS IN
DIVORCE OVER COUNTRY AT LARGE
Governor Lowden, in a report submitted
to both branches of the Illinois legislature,
on March Is, suggested certain amendments
to the marriage and divorce laws of Illinois,
same having been drawn up by Judge
Charles M. Thompson of Chicago. They
include the following:
"That period of thirty days lapse be-
tween the time a marriage license is applied
for and issued
'That two additional grounds for divorce
be added-one nonsupport extending over
period of two years, and the other incurable
insanity
"That legitimate children born after a
marriage is annulled shall be legitimate and
given the right to bear the fathers name,
and that the father may be compelled to pay
sufficient sum to care for the child.
FRelative to remarrying within year,
providing that courts may enter a tempor
ary decree, which may be made final at the
expiration of twelve months. This amend
ment, it is believed, would prevent violations
of the present law, by remarrying in distant
states
An Associated Press dispatch from Wash
ington, few days ago, stated that approx
nately one out of every nine marriages in
the United States is terminated by divorce,
according to figures compiled by the census
bureau and made public.
Exclusive of South Carolina, where all
laws permitting divorce were repealed in
| 1873, the three lowest divorce rates for 1916
are shown for the District OF Columbia,
North Carolina and New York, where the
rates were IS, 81 and 81 per 100000 of
population, respectively The highest rates
are for Nevada Montana aud Oregon,
showing co., 323 and 225 respectively.
In all states except Maine, West Virginia,
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi,
! North Dakota, South Dakota and Colorado,
the divorce rates were higher iii 1916 than
in 1906, decade previous. In 1916. divorce
was granted to the husband in 81 per cent
of the cases, while in 1906 the husbands
rate was 67 per cent
The figures show that desertion has been
the cause for about 38 per cent Of divorces.
Other leading causes are cruelty, infdelity
and failure to provide.
The records show that the marriage rate
in 1916 was $50 per 100000, or nine times
as great as the divorce rate of 112 per
100000 In 1906 the marriage rate was
1920 per 100000, showing the marriage
rate to be increasing considerably slower
than the divorce rate.
