EVENTS OF ONE DAY
 ON MOUNT JUNEAU Rescuers Start to Search for One Man Reported Lost and Find Another Wanderer

Hazen Fuller, young man who recently arrived from Vermont and who has been employed occasional ly as a pressman ;n Juneau print ing offices, sought to explore the lower reaches of Mount Juneau re- gently, going up the side of the mountain just back of the Scatter tract. As it was late iu the after noon when he started he had got ten only few hundred feet when darkness began to threaten and he faced about and started back down lhe hill. The last thing he re- members of the dowr ward trip was falling over log and down the side of a rather precipitous de- clivity.
 The curtains of night were close ly pinned down when the young man woke up and as he had no idea as to where he was and. hav-' ing lost his spectacles, was unable to see how to get away from his surroundings, he lifted up his voice which was waited far OCT the mountainside and down to the haunts of man on the lower levels.
 It so happened that shortly be- fore Fuller began puncturing the night ozone with his voice the Juneau Fire Department had been notified that Bob Hawley, a we'll known Juneau man, was lost on Mount Juneau. Two of the fire men, R. K. Brown and Frank A. Metcalf. both intrepid woodsmen and residing in the section of the town nearest the Scatter tract, armed themselves with bullseyes and lanterns and, having donned nountain-climbing attire, started to scale the rugged heights in quest of Hawley after being joined by John Krugness, George Por- genson and Arthur Kunas.
 They had gone but a short dis tance when cries greeted their ears and they hastened in the direction from whence they came. But It was Fuller they found instead of Hawley whom they sought. The young man was considerably dazed and Very much chilled. He had fallen about 5 o'clock and had been there over two hours before re- gaining consciousness. He was rescued shortly after 7 o'clock and assisted by Brown and his party down the hill. Aside from a few scratches on his face he was un- injured.
 Later the search for Hawley was resumed but before 1t had assumed civic proportions he was found seated by a comfortable fire in a billiard hall down town, wholly un- aware of the commotion the repor. of his having been lost was creat- ing. He had gone up the hill but had returned about dark after hav- ing enjoyed little constitutional just enough to give him an appetite for dinner.-Stroller's Weekly.

 Tn 1905 the Founder visited Pal estine, thus gratifying his desire of a lifetime to see the very places where our Lord had trod and where He was crucified. While there he was SO much impressed with what he saw and heard that he decided to send an Officer to Palestine for the purpose of investigating the possibilities of commencing Army work there.
 Studying Conditions in Palestine
 Major Knott was chosen tor this task and for nearly twelve months he abode in Jerusalem and also trav- elled through the land from Dan to Beersheba, studying the people and their needs and endeavoring to form a judgment as to whether the time was ripe for commencing Army oper- ationR. He was much annoyed by Turkish officials, who regarded him with great suspicion; and finally came to the conclusion that there was little hope of carrying on suc- cessful work there. He reported his findings to the Founder who there upon decided to defer his project till a more favorable time.
 Orders then came to proceed to Ceylon as Territorial Commander with the rank of Brigadier. In this beautiful island Brigadier and Mrs Knott labored for nearly two years. seeing many heathen turn to theLiv- ing God. They would have been happy to have stayed longer but the ravages of malarial fever SO serious ly affected the Brigadier that he had to return to England to recuperate. When he got his health and strength back he was appointed Divisional Commander of the Canterbury Divi- sion, and after a short term there was called to International Head quarters where he filled the position of Under Secretary at the Foreign Office for eleven years.
 Shortly after the outbreak of the Great War he was selected as Chaplain to the Egyptian Expedi- tionary Forcea
 "In this capacity he had unique and extraordinary opportunity of getting close up to the Empires gal lant defenders in matters affecting their spiritual life and right nobly did he serve their interests. From Alexandria toKhartoum he travelled holding meetings with the troops visiting the hospitals and overseeing the work in The Army Huts. When Allenby's forces marched into Pales- tine he accompanied them and trav- elled as far north as Aleppo and Ar menia.
 Chief Secretary for Denmark
 After the war, came his appoint ment as Chief Secretary to Denmark, where he had a very happy and prof itable stay of three years and seven months under Commissioner Povlsen.
 ''Now he comes as our Chief Sec retary to Canada West, firm in the belief that it is Gods appointment, and full of desire to be of help and blessing to his comrades and all whom he is able to influence for righteousness Colonel and Mrs Knott, we might say in conclusion have two children who are doing good service as Officers; Ensign Chrissie in Copenhagen, Denmark and Captain Wilfred in India.

Thirteen through line repeaters are
used. The use of these repeaters, an
essential feature of which is a vacuum
tube amplifier somewhat similar to
that which is familiar to all radio en-
sthusiasts, has aided materially in
making long distance transmission
possible. The farther a telephone
current travels unaided, the weaker
it becomes. The effect of a repeater
is to catch this weakened current,
amplfy it many times and speed it
on its way with renewed strength

Prisoner Had NoUel
Excuse for Leaving

The Dunsuns of Borneo have never
grown up. At least to a considerable
degree their minds are like those Of
children. They are, however, both in
genlous and naive To illustrate those
traits Mr.. l. II. n. Evans In his book,
Among Primitive Peoples in Borneo,"
tells this story:
The prisoners at Kotabelud used to
be taken down to the river on Sunday
TO wash their clothes and TO battle;
policeman armed with a loaded car
bine would always be in charge Of the
gang. One day when the guard was
asleep a prisoner dropped quietly off
the raft on which the others were
washing and let the current carry him
TO small island, where he landed and
hid himself.
When the policeman had finished his
snooze he collected his prisoners and
marched them back without noticing
that he was a man short. When the
relief guard appeared, however, he
counted them. and, not finding the cor
rect number, asked for an explanation.
which of course the first policeman
was unable 10 give.
Meanwhile the missing man lay
safely concealed on the island until
he saw the other prisoners return TO
the jail; then he slipped quietly into
the river again, swan TO the opposite
bank and started across country.
When the matter was reported to
the European officer in charge of the
post he had the sleepy policeman pun
tshed. and then started to find the
prisoner. He sent policemen to the
runaway's village to make inquiries,
as an escaped prisoner nearly always
travels straight for home Sure
enough, the policemen found him
there.
ON being charged with running away
he replied he had not tried to escape,
but that while bathing in the river he
had suddenly remembered that he had
not paid his poll tax TO the govern
mcnt for that year; he had returned
to his village merely in order to get
the money Youths Companion.
