 Six yearling Olympic elk, from the state of Washington, were recently taken to Kruzot Island, for the Alaska Game Commission, where the elk breeding experiment is being under taken. Two elk were put on the is- land last year, and reports received by the Commission said they were thriving. A recent report said both animals were recently seen with baby elk, the first to be born in the Territory.

Regrettable Enterprise.

An unfortunate reaction has occurred
in France from the enterprise of
Charles Levine. the hacker of Cham
Inns European flight, who accom-
panied that aviator on his remarkable
air journey. Failing to persuade Cham.
berlin to make the return flight, Le-
vine has secured the services of one
of the leading French flyers, Maurice
Drouhn. who has signed q contract
for year at compensation, it is re-
ported, of $150,00O. Unfavorable com
ment has been aroused in France be-
cause it was expected that Drouhin
would soon make fight in a French
plane. For Drouhin the excuse is Of
fered that this afforded him an opeor-
tunity to take off ahead of the German
pilot Koennecke, who is reported to
be preparing for the earliest possible
attempt to cross the Atlantic to the
westward.
Chamberlin, who successfully piloted
the Columbia from New York to Ger
man soil, has broken with Levine be-
cause Of the latter's act in issuing in
their names jointly challenge to
Byrd for a transatlantic race. Chamber.
lin has felt that this was not suitable
or a sportsmanlike proposal. especially
as the Byrd plane has been wrecked
and will perhaps never fly again. There
is a decided sympathy for Chamberlin,
who is one of the best pilots OF the
day, and whose own performances
have been beyond criticism. Levine,
who seems to have publicity com.
pick. appears to have thrust himself
upon the pilot on the eastern fight
and to have managed the progress in
Europe in such way as to share all
the honors. although his only part
in the whole affair has been to furnish
the capital for the enterprise.
Fortunately the French people diff
ferentiate between the American air
men who have so splendidiy achieved
great deeds and others who, lacking
their poise and modesty, have sought
to gain prestige. The Levine incident
will not react seriously against the re.
pute of the flyers from these shores,
however unpleasant the episode Just
reported may be.

John Drew.

In the death Of John Drew the Ameri

Throughout his illness the hope has
been entertained that he would be
spared to continue even longer the
work that he has so capably carried
on for more than half a century
He had been acting in a noteworthy
revival of an old favorite play up to
the time of his seizure, which com.

training. which began early, was thor.

for over half a century and was iden.
titled with some of the most important
dramatic productions in America dur.
ing that period.
Never an eXemplar of the robust
school Of acting, Drew was neverthe
less always a finished, careful delinea
tor of character, thoroughly versed in
all the arts of his craft, technician
to the last degree. His representations
were vivid and, though naturally they
partook in some measure of his own
individuality, they were always con
vincing. He was an intellectual rather
than an emotional portrayer and he
never lost his hold upon the attention
and the sympathy of his audience.
An amazing array of parts fell to
him for playing during his more than
half century Of stage work. Gifted
with an exceptional memory, John
Drew mastered every role, scores OF

The Unanswerable Argument

with ,ceH doing ne may put to
silence the ignorance Of foolish
men."-I st. Peter, ii.lj.
The real secret Of persuasive power
is well doing. 1t is mightier than
argument, more convincing than de-
bate The validity of creeds may be
challenged: the validity of a consist
ent life is interchangeable. Almost all
of the argument during recent years
concerning the Church'S creeds and
systems has dealt with their author
ity. More time is spent in discussing
and questioning the dogmatic pro-
nouncementS and CreedS of the church
than anything else that concerns it's
interests. 1t is entirely conceivable
that man may give the most un-
bounded assent to these ancient pro-
nOuncementS and hold them as the
most essential things, and yet by his
life negative their every precept. 1t
is also conceivable that another may
disavow these precise declarations and
yet in daily conduct live consistently
with their every precept. To our
mind, definite statements of the
church's belief are quite indiSpen-
sable; they are essential parts of its
well-defined organization, but they
find their interpretations more in
daily living than in their Sunday ex-
preston. In fine. every man is in
himself a living creed. He is daily
| telling the world by his conduct what
he believes and whom he reverences.
All of us believe something, whether
1t be expressed in the form of the
ancient creeds or the expression of
our individual point-of-view. When
a man says he believes nothing he is
giving the utterance to his creed.
When a man says he believes some
thing we look for the proof of it in
his daily habit of life.
The argument of the above text
presented by the Apostle Peter deals
with vital matter. In previous
| verse he has said concerning his
young converts that if their critics
speak against them as evil-doers they
may counteraCt the influence of the
unjust criticism by good works, and
as result compel them to glorify
God. He urges the power of consist
ent example as the mightiest argu-
ment that may be used in dealing
| with foolish men. He maintains that
doing we'll in the face of ungenerous
criticism develops a form of patience
that is acceptable with God. He finds
in Christ the supreme example, and
he commends his course to those who
would follow in His steps. Jesus
maintained that the best way to know
| OF His doctrines was to do His Will.

The misuse of dogs is large in any

Concurrent Sentences.

A man was recently convicted in this
city Of four separate offenses of the
same character. HOUSEKEEPING and
assault. In court the other day he was
sentenced to serve i've years for each
of these offenses. The court, however,
stipulated that these sentences should
run concurrently. In other words. five
years will be the limit of time which
this offender spends in prison for these
four crimes. although technically he is
sentenced for twenty.
This is not an exceptional case. Ere.
quently in recent years concurrent
sentences have been imposed. The eff.

seem to be fair procedure to consider
these offenses in the aggregate, and
to administer sentences in proportion
to what might be called the volume of
crime rather than to regard repetition
as of no moment. OF course, in case
Of capital crime a man convicted and
sentenced to death can be punished for
only one murder though he might com.

Bishop Of Washington

self that NV way is the best way and
you will come at length to understand
the principles upon which it is based.
Christianity, after all, is a habit of
life and a way of living. Obviously,
it has its well-defined and basic rules
which we have come to call creeds or
systems. The danger just now is
that we shall put all the stress upon
the systems and forget that they are
valuable only in so far as they are in
terpreted When our boys were over.
seas they found infinite delight and
satisfaction in the services of the Sal
walton Army. All the agencies that
ministered to their needs contributed
to their physical and moral well-being.
but there was something about the
Salvation Army ways that caught
their Imagination and appealed to
their natures. What was it? We be-
lieve it was the utter simplicity and
wholesomeness of the men and women
who exemplified in daily conduct their
Christian faith. They were living
crceds and they proved what they be-
lieved by their conduct.
That Christian church is strongest
whose eXemplars, in the common in
tercourse of life, prove their faith by
their works. Years ago we knew two
men who sold tickets in u metropoli-
tan railroad station. The one was q
Christian of the most pronounced
type, whose way of living in his office
was utterly consistent with his Sun
day profession. The other was a man
of large intelligence whose attitude to
Christian ideals and the Christian
church was wholly Indifferent. He
had philosophy of life that did not
reckon with the teachings of Christ.
For years these two men worked side
by side in intimate fellowship. At
length, the one who had felt no sense
of response to the Christian way
of living came to his cOmrade with
the declara ton that he could not any
longer live in such companionship
without yielding to the call of the
Master He was literally converted
by the unfailing consistency of his
fellow clerk. Subsequently, both of
these men abandoned their occupa-
ton, entered the services of a notable
Christian institution, and the one who
had been long apostate became a COM
handing leader in his new calling
The well-doing of the one put to
silence the foolish speculation and in
difference of the other.
This sort Of thing is happening day
by day, and while we are splitting
hairs over the Interpretation of words
and phrases, men and women are
falling under the irresistible influence
of these living creeds. 1t is the ir-
resistible argument of consistent
life. The real secret of persuasive
power is well-doing.

Friends of Man.

Dogs, cats. birds and squirrels
these are the four friends of man in
the city. Washington, in common with
most cities, has it's full share of dogs
and cats, and perhaps more birds and
squirrels than most great urban areas,
owing to the unusually large number
Of trees and public parks.
Those who love Nature, therefore
are not deprived of opportunity to
study her in animated moods, simply
because they live in a city. if that city
be the National Capital.
On every street. in every alley. In
every park, almost i'll every tree, there
walks, or sits, or fits one of Gods
most engaging creations. This is a
pleasant study. open to all alike. With

This and That
By Charles E. TTaceiUeH.

Jack Spratt, cat, entertained Two
ducks at his alley home the otneE
afternoon.
Perhaps it might be more truthful
to state that the ducks entertained
Jack.
The ducks were brown, about 6
inches high. when they first entered
Jacks back yard. Since that time
they have grown as much as 4 10 o
inches again.
Evidently ducks do not suffer from
malnutrition.
These fellows positively grow an
inch a day, with perhaps a halflnch
upward reach during the night. Nc
doubt they will have reached eating
size in 8 or weeks.
Just how they have managed to
survive so long is something OF a
mystery, when the number OF chill
dren, dogs and cats on their trail IS
taken into consideration.
The ducks move in perfect har-
mony, keeping side by side. no matter
what is after them. If one turns left.
the other turns left. If the other
moves right, its brother or sister
moves right.
Down the alley, through fences,
along the sidewalk, they move to-
gether, keeping up a sort of beating
noise as they move.
y 4 -
Jack Spratt, summing himself in the
border Of gladiolus, where he Is not
supposed to be, but where he most
often is, nevertheless, spied the ducks
as they paced down the alley. Per-
haps their cheeping cry attracted his
attention first of all.
Jack crouched, his green eyes
bright at the sight, his striped body
cleaning between the blades of the
gladiolus, his white shirt front fairly
shining. Jacks shirt and gloves are
so white that they appear almost sill
yer in some lights.
He made a pretty picture, crouchfng
there, interested as only animals can
be interested. Here was something
new in the Offing.
Should he give chase. or no? Such
was the question.
He seemed to mediate.
Just what went on beneath those
two furry. outstanding ears, no man
can say: the upshot Of it was that
Jack reached a compromise.
He would, evidently. nave a DIT OF
fun with the ducks, but do the crea.
lures no harm. The latter eventual
ity might bring upon his, Jacks, head
various recriminations.
1t were best, then, TO treat the
ducks gently. Accordingly, the tiger
cat kept his hind legs well bent, and
moved rapidly to the back gate.
No sooner had he executed the ma.
neuver than the birds saw him
"Cheep, cheep!" said the right duck.
(No, they didn't quack. They hadn't
learned quacking YETI
The left duck then turned sharply
right. Wheneupon the right duck
turned right, too. This brought them
into the yard next door.
The sight of the fleeing ducks was
too much for the cat nature OF Jack
Spratt, esq.
Jack leaped over the fence.
The ducks unanimously executed a
left-about, going under the wire into
the next yard. Jack followed rapidly,
but not rapidly enough to avoid being
scooped up by waiting arms.
So ended the duck chase.
