Last Saturday we went up to

and he gave a couple OF monologues

a reunion dinner with menu like
this: Turkey with dressing, mashed

With Charlie gone and duck-shoot-
ing not being one of my passions,
there was nothing to- detain me in An
dros. So we were soon under way. out
Of the river, and heading north up the
western shore OF the big monotonous
island. We had some fifty miles to
make before we reached its northern
extremity-and. all the way, we sci.
dom had more than two fathoms Of
water. and the coast was the same in
terminable line OF mangroves and
thatch palms, with occasional clumps
Of pine trees. and here and there the
mouth Of a creek, leading into. duck
haunted swamps.
At last we came to a little foam
fringed cay, where 1t was conceivable
that the shyest and rarest shell
would choose 20 make its hOme-a tiny
aristocrat, driven out OF the broad
tideways by the coarser ambitions and
the ruder strength Of great molluscs

rightly, abashed me with profanity ;
in short, my big toe tripped over the

The explosion brought the whole

So Jack took charge and acted with
such confidence and skill-nnally
binding up my wound, which was but
a slight One-that Charlie stood by
dumbfounded and with a curious soft
look In his face which I didn't under
stand till later.
Then Jack looked up for a moment
and caught Charles wondering look ;
and 1t seemed to me that he changed
color and looked frightened.
"Sir Francis Is jealous" he said
"but I've finished 10Y l guess you'll

THERE IS HOPE HERE

The murder of Kurtz EisTer, the Bavarian premier a few weeks ago followed by an attack on the life of CIemenceau, the French premier and other murderous attacks on various officials have not only furnished spectacular incidents but have given an accurate gua"e of the heat in the European melting pct, at the same time these events have been a benefit to the world, speciallyto ns Americans because without the occurrences their might have been danger for not realizing how very serious the situa ation and how great 2 danger the world was from an uncomfortable outbreak of anarchy.
 These events have served to put us on our guard. For Russia, there seems no hope. That country is so thoroughly in the hands of the bolshevik that nothing seems possible; not even a counter revolution on the part of the masses who have been freed from slavery to be doubly oppressed; for the one creative act of the pre- sent crowd of rulers has been the development of an army that is sufficient strong to held the slaves down.

SENATOR LODGES WARNING

Just before congress adjourned recently the senate took up the question of the proposed League of Nations and Senator Lodge of Mass. addressed large assemblage. According to the reports his points were that it would mean an abandonment of the Washington warning a gainst permanent foreign alliances, the virtual abandonment of the Monroe Doctrine, the aban donment of our control over immigration Hand other domestic problems, and the substitution of the government of the United States by foreign people and foreign governments, in the place of government by our own people. ''In the end' said the senator .'s0ch league would promote war instead of peace" and concluded with the following warning:
 ''We are asked to move away from George Washington toward the other end of the line at which stands the sinister figure of TrOtzky, the champion of Internationalism. We must build no bridges across the chasm which now separates Amarican freedom and order from Russian anarchy and destruction"
