LAKE ST. AGNES, Quebec,
April 24.-From miles around,
hardy trappers trekked here
today to await the arrival OF
the Bremen and two German
filters who have been marooned
with it on ice-bound Greenly
Island since the plane ended
it's epochal 36-hour westward
flight over the North Atlantic,
10 days ago, by burying its
nose in the icy surface OF the
island reservoir. The fliers
hoped to hop off from the
island today.
Immediately after the arrival OF
the Ford plane at Greenly Island
Yesterday. activity began with a
vengeance. No sooner had Major
James S. Fitzmaurice, Bernt Bal
chen, Ernest koeppen, the Junkers'
mechanic and the newspaper man
who made the fourth of the RELIEF
party, disembarked from the huge
plane. than the repair parts for the
Bremen were unloaded.
Work Started at Once
Koeppen then began the work
of putting a new propeller on the
plane. Then a new undercarriags,
was fitted to it. Meanwhile. I)r.
Louis Cuisinier, who with Duke
Schiller was the first to reach
Greenly from the outside world,
marshaIIed about twenty willing
natives for the most difficult task
at hand, the moving of the Bremen
to the ice of Belle Isle Straits for
the take-Off.
The Bremen wslghs several tons
and must be moved by man power
only, as there is no other appa-
ratus available. Cusinier, the only
man in the relief party able to
of the natives.

in time for a taks-off today, it will
fly here for refueling and then leave
for New York probably tomorrow
morning.
Capt. Hermann Koehl will pilot
the Bremen. He will be accom-
panied by Baron Gunther Ehren-
fried Won Huenefeld. Whether Ma
ior Fitzmaurice will come here in
the Bremen also, or so IN the Ford
plane to aid Bernt Balchen in
handling the immense tri-motored
monoplane and then change back to
the Bremen here for the triumphant
flight to New York, is not known.
Thaw May Check Plans
The Ford plane brought both a
land underCarriage and skies Tor
the Bremen. Which will be used
will depend on the weather. 1t rs
reported that a thaw has set in in
the Northern regions. In that case
the land gear will be used. and It
is probable that the plane will fly
direct to the Plains OF Abraham,
near the city of Quebec.
Should the warmer weather bring
a thaw here. the Ford plane will
not fare so we'll in making a land
ing here. 1t is equipped with skis
only.

A Sermon for Today
Man Amid Decaying Worlds.
BY REV. JOHN r. GUNN.

Man Amid Decaying Worlds.
Text: when I consider the heavens,
the work of Thy fingers, the moon and
the stars, which Thou hast ordained;
what Is man, that Thou art mindful
of him?"-Ps., Viii13-4.
After giving utteranoe to the con-
ception Of geology with reference to
the future of nature, Alexander Win
chell closes his sketches OF Creation"
with the following eloquent and eX-
pressive paragraph:
But what is the spirit of man, whose
thoughts thus wander through eternity?
What Is the intelligence of man which
climbs the battlements of the place OF
Omnipotence - which Seizes hold on
eternity-which though chained In the
flesh, spurns It's fetters and feels ever
more that it is the offspring OF God
the brother of angels-the heir OF per-
petuity - and will soon shake Its
sharnbIes down amongst the rubbish of
decaying worlds and dwell superior to
the mutations of matter and the revo-
lutions of the ages? What, in COM
parison with the crumbling OF noun
tains and the decay of worlds. is the
being possessed of such a consciousness
and such destiny? Who shall tremble
at the wreck of matter, when, in per-
petual youth, he shall Outlive suns.
and systems, and f1rrnaments, and
through the ceaseless cycles of ma
terial history shall see creation rise
upon creation - the ever-recurring
mornings of eternal life?"
1t must have been thoughts like
these that passed through the mind
of the Psalnlist, when he penned the
words. when consider the heav-
ems, the work of Thy fingers, the moon
and the stars, which Thou hast Or
dained; what is man that Thou art
mindful of him?" David saw in man
something of infinitely more value
than moon and stars and material
planets. He saw in man being SUI
perior to the material universe and des-
tined to outlast- the stupendous orbs
of the celestial heights. How thrilling
is the contemplation of such destiny.

Even the British government knew It's
onions in 1901 when 1t sought recruits
for the Light Dragons. The follow
ing appeared on recruiting poster Of
that year: "You will be mounted on
the finest horses III the world with
superb clothing and the richest ac-
courtrements; your pay and privileges
are equal to two guineas q week; your
society is courted; you are admired by
the fair which, together with the
chance of getting swished to a buxom
widow, or brushing with a rich heiress,
renders the situation truly desirable.
There is a tide in the affairs Of men,
which taken at the flood, leads on to
fortune. Nick 1t, and instantly apply"
The suggestion Of a brush with a
rich heiress may have been banana

beaucoup recruits.

THE WIVES OF THE PRESIDENTS
Frances Folsom the YearOld Girl Whom Grover Cleveland
Made First Lady of the Land
BY J. p. GLASS.

Mrs. Oscar Folsom was to be the bride.
A friend brought this story to the
Presidents attention.
II wonder why they don't say am
engaged to the daughter" he said.
Enough had been said to bring all
sorts of reports and rumors. But soon
Mrs. Folsom and her daughter returned
to New York. Then the engagement
was definitely announced. The wedding
followed at the White House on June 2,
1885. He was 40, she was %.
Mr.. Cleveland himself, edited the
ceremonial. The word obey was
elided.
It was inevitable that busybodies
should subsequently spread stories of
domestic infelicity. These reached their
peak when Mr.. Cleveland, after four
years out Of the presidency, was called
upon to be candidate again in 1892.
Scandal mongers declared that the ex-
President got drunk and beat his wife
so that she was compelled to flee the
White House at night and seek shelter
elsewhere. The inquiry of a woman
who wrote her requesting information
as to the real facts elected from Mrs.
Cleveland q note which had a bearing
on the campaign. After denying all the
rumors, it said in part:
II can only say in answer to your
letter that can wish the
women of our country no greater bless
ing than that their homes and lives
may be rs happy, and their husbands
as kind, attentive, considerate and af-
fectionate as mine"
She was a loving and thoughtful wife
to the close of Mr.. Cleveland's life
On his seventieth birthday, when he
took q hunting trip South, to escape too
much attention from his admirers, she
wrote him:
MY heart is full Of gratitude for
what the years of your life have meant
to me. You know how dearly ] love
you. repeat it and repeat it and I ask
Gods blessing on you. =
Your loving wife, Frank"
Mrs. Cleveland was at Grover Cleve-
lands side when he died on June "a,
1908. Two sons survived with her, A
daughter. Ruth, their first born, had
died in 1904.
In 1918 Mrs. Cleveland became the

A Pennsylvania avenue merchant has
been annoyed by the hocks Of birds that
fraternize In the trees in font of his
establishment. He hit upon an idea to
drive them away. Fastening bell to a
long pole, he went out and, poking the
pole into the branches, began to ring
the bell vigorously. The birds irnmedi-
ately took flight and found nesting
places in other nearby trees until con-
vinced that there was nothing particu-
larly disastrous about bells. Now they
are back at the same old stand.
