fans left it following a basketball
game.
The north section of the build

main part was built 26 years ago.
Superintendent w. C. Cobb and
the principal, Miss Mary Thorn

swept quickly through the Is class
rooms of the three floors.
The building was valued at
$150,000.

Dogs Lived Eight Days
Without Food or Water

The tenacity Of animal life is an
interesting subject if it is tested
by accident and not by design; and
1t has had test by accident in
Wales. -
Two dogs, a sheep-dog and a
spaniel, which had succumbed to
the temptation Of rabbit hunting,
were missed for nearly nine days.
Then a little girl, hearing curious
sounds underground in a lonely
place, brought a party Of rescuers
to the spot, and the dogs were dug
out of a rabbit hole from which
they had been unable to extricate
themselves.
They must have been without
food and water for eight and a
half days, yet they seemed little the
worse. =, ~ ;'..ss.'>
Evidently the dog has lost, II 1t
ever had, the instinct of burrowing
toward the open air, which the un-
derground animal possesses.

Elemental Law

Here, as in the whole. range of
his teaching, Jesus brings us back
to elemental truth and the ele-
mental laws that govern right liv-
ing. There is no miraculous
power that will make the homes
of a nation great, or that will make
married and family life beautiful,
if those who + responsible for
these homes neglect their duties.
and the privileges of love.
Perhaps we touch the deepest
of all things in relation to the
home in the attitude of Jesus to-
ward the children. Where there
is no love of children, no a%pprecia-
ton of the meaning and beauty of
child life, such as is forever beau
tifully typified in the attitude of
the Master, there cannot be the
conditions for an ideal home.
Even in childless marriages Thu
has found its most beautiful and
triumphant expression in the
adoption OF children. Few things.
are more hopeful in our social life
at present than the tendency for
this to become a widely estab-
Iished custom.
The appreciation of childhood
IS in itself one of the most en-
lobling factors in human life. In
'act the horror of divorce is not
30 much its blasting effect upon
he lives of the married, serious
IS that is; the worst tragedy is in
he lives of children, the very cir
,umstances and surroundings of.
whose life have destroyed at the
their hopes and ideals and
PRODUCED in young minds a re-
of sordidness and cynicism.
