The holt struck a tree standing near the house and then entered the northeast room of the house, knocking down pictures and plaster. It continued across the room to a sewing machine and then out through the north side of the house. Mrs. Raynor was slightly stunned and Dr. Witmer was called in to attend her. ________ Saturday night’s shows at the Colonial are attracting good-sized crowds weekly and as Forrester & Moore seem to aim to give reliable shows it is safe to predict the crowds will increase instead of diminish. The management often secures one or two numbers from the Woodcleft Colony, almost all of who are stars. Last Saturday night the headliner was Master Warren Gehrken, famous boy pianist, with McCary and Kiefer, fancy jig g i n g ; Mr. Steve, baritone; English and Reading, funmakers in general; Frazier Troupe in Scottish and Irisn dances; and two troupes off tumblers, besides the usual moving pictures.

I promised my reader, who made this complaint, to see what could be done about it, and so respectfully pass this on to the proper a uthorities. The Village Board has given at tention to all the streets, and probably has left this one in anticipation of the work to be done under the trolley franchise payment, which would save the village that expense. I think however, something ought to be done at once, as it may be some little time before the money is secured from the trolley company.

The holy people are the holy city, the city chosen, set a part and pure. “ Religion, then, has a place in the ideal city. Tne church, as the ex pounder and exemplar of religion, must be given the first place among those agencies that make for civic life, ligh and beauty. Do we realize the duty of every Christian community to its Churches? The vast numbers in the communion of the churches would alone cause it to outrank every other organization in power to do good. In a marvelous way it holds the people to lofty ideals, it is not perfect, but almost every criminal is found outside its pale of active service. Said Judge Fawcett, of Brooklyn recently, 'A p proximately 2700 cases have been brought before me in five and a half years of service on the bench. During all that time I have never had to try a man ho was at the time of the al leged offence an active member of the church.’ Personally I have known e x ceptions to this statement, but they are rare.
