Cathedral a War Memorial.

What is planned to be the greatest
and finest Gothic cathedral built IN
der the British flag since the PrOtes-
tant reformation, will be erected at
Wellington, New Zealand, as a memo
rial of the great war. The architect
is Frank Peck, an Englishman, who
is probably the greatest living author
lty on Gothic architecture. The Angli-
can communion is raising "a fund to
build the cathedral which will stand
on the present site of st. Mark S
church and will take probably 20 years
to complete.
The first unit will be a great war
memorial chapel and two smaller
chapels commemorative of the Maori
wars and of the South African wars,
The names of New Zealanders, ire
spective of creed, will adorn the walls,
Already war trophies for the cathe-
dral when finished have been sent or
promised by Marshal Foch, Lord Haig
and General Pershing. 1t is expected
that Gen. Sir Arthur Currie will be
asked for a trophy on behalf of Can
ada.-Manitoba Free Press.

as the darkness pressed around him,
that he was to be tried in the FIRE. And
the horse staggered beneath him as
he tried to hasten.
He showed no mercy to his mount,
Horse-flesh isn't made for carrying
heavy man over such trail as this,
and she was red-nOstriled and lath-
cred before half mile had been COW
cred. He made her leap up the rocks,
and on fairly level stretches he loosed
the reins and dashed her into a gallop.
Only q mountain horse could have
stood that test. He gave no thought
to his own safety. His courage was
at the test, and no risk of his own
life must interfere with his attempt
to save Snowbird from the danger
that threatened her. He didn't know
when the horse would fall with him
and precipitate him down precipice,
and he was perfectly aware that to
crash into a low-hanging limb Of one
of the great trees beside the trail
would probably crush his skull. But
he took the chance. And before the
ride was done he found himself plead
ing with the horse, even as he dashed
her sides with his whip.
The lesser forest creatures sprang
from his trail; and once the mare
leaped high to miss dark shadow
that crossed in front. AS she caught
her stride. Dan heard a squeal and
rattle of quills that identified the crea-
ture as a porcuplne.
BY now he had passed the first of
the worst grades, coming out upon
long, easy slope Of open forest. Again
he urged his horse. leaving to her
keen senses alone the choosing of the
path between the great tree trunks.
Then he heard Snowbird fire for the
fourth time and he knew that he had
almost overtaken her. The report
seemed to smash the air. And he
dashed his horse into the fastest run

GREATNESS NOT ON SURFACE
Reporter Had Perceived Nothing co

Every one is entitled to one chuckla
in days like these, just as every dog
is entitled to one bite. Hence this
story Of Sinclair Lewis, which is being
repeated with vicious enjoyment BY q
lot of the lowbrows.
It appears that Lewis was a guest
at a dinner not long ago at which a
number of newspaper men and other
low forms of life were present. This

in this fashion:

Jones and Mr.. Lewis"
Mr.. Lewis sat next to a reporter.
The reporter talked Of politics, the
next war, heat, Babe Ruth, the big
fight and other bourgeois things and
said no word Of literature.
Mr.. Lewis became first uneasy and
then unhappy. When he could stand
it no longer he turned to his neighbor
with gay laugh.

COUNTRY EDITOR HAS POWER
Perhaps Less Today Than Formerly,
But He Still Is Leader Of
Public Opinion.

In early colonial days, In New Eng
land at least, the preacher was the
most influential man in the community
laid down the law on weekdays as
well as on Sundays, says a New York
paper. Then, in the era of stocks and
small clothes and powdered wigs, pow
er passed to the leading family. Next,
after the Jacksonian revolution, after
a brief period of hegemony by tavern
brawlers, the scepter passed to the
country editor.
The country editor let the lawyers,
with their vocal fluency, occupy the
offices, but he bossed them. The first
call visiting politician made was
where the sound of the Franklin press
was heard. The. sanctum listened and
judged. Its presiding genius was close
to his people-he knew his folks. He
was guide and counselor, for his in
formation, at least concerning mat
tiers political, was widest. He wrote,
and he wrote well, in days when there
were fewer writers, but also fewer
smatterers. He took his job seriously.
His constituency looked to him and
he led it straight. Horace Greeley
gained his amazing influence largely
because he was a sublimated country
editor-spOke the vernacular and
shared the psychology Of his fellow
craftsmen.
Where old-fashioned country editors
exist one is pretty sure to find a
sound type Of Americanism prevailing
and country boys going to college to
work their way through. And the
local editor, even more than the school
teacher, is the inspirer.

ONE THING SHE HADN'T LOST
Pupils Statement Of Fact Probably
Gave Music Teacher Occasion for
Deep Thought.

A well-known music teacher in At
lanta was giving lesson to a talent
ed but careless pupil and was rapidly
losing all patience with her. Finally,
at a most complicated part of a diff
f1cult piece, the pupil lifted her hands
from the piano and made wild dash
for her handkerchief to stop a threat
ened sneeze. It was the last straw.
''Was there ever such a girl" ex-
claimed the teacher, thrusting her own
handkerchief at the offender. "You
lose your position, you lose your fin
gering, you lose your handkerchief
you lose everything"

pill with smile. II haven't lost my

Muakrats proved ProftabIe.

Two muskrats carried into Czecho-
slovakia as curiosities u years ago,
developed into wealth producers for
the natives. The American consul at
Prague has informed Secretary Hoo
yer that the Czechoslovakians export
ed $4,000 muskrat fur skins last year.
He said the American muskrat, IN
known to the natives before the tour
lists presented them as a curiosity, Is
now the basis Of a thriving industry
that is steadily growing. Many Of the
natives are entering the new business
because It requires small capital and
assures steady and large profits. He
reported an active demand for the ful

hibit when hunting a new game so
that he didn't attempt to strike Snow
bird down at once. But as the chase
went on, his passion grew upon him.
Ever he crept nearer. And at last he
sprang full into the thickets beside
her.
AT that instant she had shot for the
first time. Because the light had left
his eyes before she could find aim,
both shots had been clean misses. And
terrible as the reports were, he was
too engrossed in the chase to be
frightened away by mere sound. This
was the cry the man-pack always
made-these sudden, startling sounds
in the silence. But he felt no pain.
He crOuched a moment, shivering
Then he bounded on again.
The third shot was a miss too: in
fact, there had been no chance for a
hit. A sound in the darkness is as
unreliable target as can possibly be
imagined. And it didn't brighten him
as much as the others. He waited,
crouching, and the girl started on.
She was making other sounds now
queer, whimpering sounds not greatly
different from the bleat that the fawn
utters when it dies. 1t was a fear
sound, and If there is one emotion
with which the wild beasts are ac-
quainted, in all its phases, it is fear
She was afraid of him, then, and that
meant he need no longer be in the
least afraid of her. His skin began to
twitch all over with that terrible mad
ness and passion of the flesh-hunters.
This game was like the deer, and
the thing to do was lie in wait. There
was only one trail He wasn't afraid
Of losing her in the darkness. She
was neither fleet like the deer nor
courageous like Wool the bear. He
had only to wait and leap from the
darkness when she passed.
When Dan Failing, riding like mad
over the mountain trail, heard the
third shot from Snowbird's pistol, he
felt that one of the debts he owed had
come due at last. He seemed to know,

The Cats Eve.

The pupil of cats eye ordinarily
appears as a long, narrow oval, or a
straight vertical black line. The an
imal seems to be looking through mere
Sits in the iris of it's eye, especially
when it faces the light. In semi-dark-
ness the pupil widens into beautiful
oval. One is disposed to regard the
narrowness Of the pupil as the distin-
gushing popularity of the eyes of
cats. All animals. Of the cat family
share this popularity, according to the
authority we quote, yet the natural
shape of the pupil of the cats eye is
circular. By varying the quantity Of
light entering the eyes experimenters
have seen the pupils of the eyes of cats
and tigers change from straight lines
to perfect circles, and while under the
influence Of atropine, which suspends
for a time the muscular contraction
OF the eye, they are always circular,
The normal shape Of the cats pupil is
the same as that of the human pupil,
but when submitted to the influence
of light it's behavior differs. In a
bright light our pupils become very
small circles, while those of a cat
turn into. ovals or narrow Sits. The
general effect in either case is the
same, namely, to diminish the amount
Of light passing into the eye.-Ex-
change.

Correct WAY to Receive BURGLAR

The old plan of offering a burglar a
cigarette and asking him to take a
chair while you telephone to the po-
lice is not now so successful as in the
past. The best plan is to tackle the
fellow right away. For this purpose
you should step behind him, take hold
Of his coat and force 1t over his face.
Then tie his left arm to his right leg
across the back. Properly carried out,
this method rarely fails.-London

The Revival a Plan Of God.

Man sinned and through his
sin moral and spiritual death was
the result. 1t looked as though
Gods plan had been defeated,
that man whom he had created
in his own image was doomed to
destruction. God did not de-
spare, but Gave His Only Be-
gotten Son that whosoever Be-
lieveth on Him should not perish.
but have Everlasting Life "
For by one man came death, by
one also came the resurrection
from the dead"
Physical life is always inter-
esting 1t has its conditions of
growth, though the germ itself
cannot be defined. The condi-
tons are warmth, culture and
the refreshing showers. Like
wise Spiritual Life has its condi-
tions of growth. The church
must have a warm heart. which
expresses itself with love for
humanity. 1t must have pro-
gram of nurture and training and
special seasons.of prayer and wor-
ship, which are always &C.
companied by the refreshing
showers of blessings, referred to
by Paul as the seasons of re-
treshing coming from the Lord.
Then sinners hunger and thirst
after righteousness.
The abundant life that Christ
brought to men stands for purity
of character. Sin means death
today just as truly as in Adams
day. Forsaking sin is one of
the conditions which must be
met before the life of God can
enter the soul. The power of the
Gospel is deliverance from sin.
When the abundant life begins
in a man it is at once a force
that worketh righteousness. Not
merely serving as safeguard
aginst sin. and in that sense a
negative force, but it is a posi-
tive force, finding expression in
strong active righteousness in
the life.
Let us work and pray. and who
knows but that God will give us
a great revival at this time. We
invite the entire public to attend
revival services at the Methodist
church beginning Monday night,
July 25th.
