The Rockefeller vault consists of an armor plate inciosnre big enough to holda dozen men.

THE DOUKHOBOR&. Their Religion and CommunitySys- m of Living. to The Doukhobors, the peculiar Rus- sian religious sect of peasants who emigrated to Canada in such large numbers in 1.899, and of whom so Hauch was heard. a few years later on account of their conflict with the Dominion Government, form the theme of an artiole--by N. Syrkin, of New York — in Suddeutsehe Monet- shefte (Munich). Mr. Syrkin traces in this article the Doukhobors" stormy history and ex- patiates upon their strange beliefs. He says, among other things: "The 1 Doukhobor T e nu cos of the D h bo r c faith is solely recorded in the reports sent in by the community in the 181h century to the Russian Government, because. after Pobirokin's idea their faith should be shown forth in their life alone. We read that the human body is for the soul only a temporary prison where it can have no other aim than the manifestation of God; that the first men had neither sus - toms nor religious institutions but were illumined by the Holy Ghost, and that later by the power of evil creeds and laws arose, under Cath- erine II, and Paul the Doukhobors underwent severe persecutions, under Nicholas I. in 1842 they were exiled to Tiflis in the Caucasus in the hope that they would die out. The Doak hcilbors, however, made friends with the wild hillmen, prospered agrioul- turally in spite of the desert and rocky foothills, and were strengthened to endure another persecution in 1888. Then Peter Werigin undertook the leadership of the community's practi- cal and mystical life, prohibiting smoking, wine and meat. As a con- sequence of the schism of the "Small party" Werigin. and his disciples were banished to Siberia. In 1895 the Doukhobors burnt their weapons pub- licly and refused to take part in the Government suppressions and mili- tary service. After ordering the mal- treating of women and children and massaore of unresisting old men, the Government expulsed four thousand Doukhobors from their villages and drove them into the Grusinian vil- lages where over a thousand died of iprivation. The men available for military service were sent for 18 years to the criminal battalion. in Siberia. In 1898 through the combined efforts of Tolstoi and the Society of Friends in England, funds were raised and the Czar's permission obtained for the emigration of the sect to Cyprus, which being found unsuitable, in 1899 over eight thousand Doukhobors were granted lands by the Canadian Gov- ernment in the Province of Assiniboia near Yorktown and of Saskatchewan near Thunder Hill and Prince Albert. Mr. Syrkin notes that on the arriv- al of Peter 'Werigin in Canada the return to the traditional Doukhobor - ism and the introduction of modern agricultural methods began. Werigin disowned the pilgrimages and discard- ers of clothing and organized the communities into a central union. The patriarchal life is strictly adhered to and work is more the contented ec-, eupation of energy than the curse of bread earned in the sweat of the brow. Everything 'is left to the good. will and judgment of the individual, the administration is at a nominal cost, as the elders work. Annually 1,000 adults are sent as day laborers for the railways, and after the de- duction of their living expenses they return the greater part of their wage to -the common treasury. One of the largest and best brick -making plants in, Canada has been founded by the Doukhobors at Yorktown, and the communities have paid their debts, and even eighteen months after their arrival in Canada, wrote to the Eng- lish Quakers to cease pecuniary gifts and apply them to others more needy. But even under Werigin the Douk- hobors have not found peace. True to their belief in common property they have finally refused to become' Canadian subjects and consequently have lost the greater part of their homesteads of about the value of two million dollars, retaining only about fifteen acres for each member of a community. Friends Didn't Know Him. The House of Commons enjoyed a genuine sensation recently. Mr. Eme manuel Devlin, the eloquent member for Wright, has for years worn a lux- uriant moustache and a bunch of wav-; ing black hair which would have; done credit to any embryo artist or musician. But the barber bided Ms time and finally got Emmanuel. The' latter is a faithful attendant in the Chamber, and the long night debates, followed by the recently inaugurated morning proceedings, proved too much. for tired nature. According to the story going the rounds of the corri- dors, Mr. Devlin fell asleep under the operations of the tonsorial expert and when he awoke found himself minus his moustache and sporting a real short military hair -cut. This was, in itself, bad enough. But other tribulations awaited him when he reached the House out of breath just after prayers en Francais. He had doffed overcoat and chapeau and was heading into the Chamber when Joe Demers, of St. 'John and Iberville, spotted hint and gave the alarm. "A. stranger` coming into the House," was the appallinga1ling whisper with hirla De- niers startled Mr. H. W Bowie, the stalwart deputy Sergeant -at -Arms. Mr. Bowie is nothing if not alert and efficient. He gripped his sword and started menacingly towards the sup- posed intruder, waving at him to halt. Mr. Devlin was late, and wasn't halt- ing. Member and officer met within. the doors of the Chamber. The latter conducted a searching inspection, but Mr. Devlin finally established his identity. And he maintains that the officer most gallantly atoned for his error by observing: "Well, sir, you cut ten years off your age,"—H.W.A. in Canadian Courier. This Is a Busy Farmer.

' FISHERMAN IS A BARON NOVA SCOTIAN HAS. FASCINATING FAMILY HISTORY. The Baron of Pubnico Is the Lineal Descendant of a Noble Family In Acadia, Which Resisted the Order of Expulsion—He Is Humble But Proud, and Blood Has Been Kept Unsullied; Simply a fisherman; a toiler of the sea; a mender of nets, and yet "A Highand MightytY Lord"; head of a once puissant House, He isHilaire D'Entremont, Baron of Pubnico. In the days when early Canadian history was in the making the title which he bears was one to be conjured with, for were not the holders, owners of all the vast acres of what is now Western Nova Scotia? Times have changed since the La Tours and the D'Entremonts held sway in Acadia, andof the greatness that once was theirs but little l emales. All that is left is the title a title *•'rich is still recognized and entitles tlu holder to all the dignities•and rigi.ts of nobility. The present baron is a humble fish- erman, and the history of this kindly old gentleman and his family is deep- ly interesting. It was in the year 1653 that unto Charles de St. Etienne Seigneur de la Tour was granted the Patent of Nobility which macre him master of that vast tract of - country that stretches from Aenannlis nn the ea't to Pubnieo cin the '�,'eett. The m— elons document which '^"'ri" l his forebear that title v. hie i e . ,_lar e i so much obeisance and respect, is retained by the present baron and reads as follo s s : . The Patent, "Was present and appeared person- ally the High and Mighty Lord Charles de St. Etienne, Seigneur ole La Tour, Knight of the Orders of the King, and his Lieutenant -General in all the extent, towns and coasts of Acadia. Country of New France, and proprietor of the places called Pipi- gimiche, following and confirming to the concession which he has had at this date, January 15, 1636, received it and voluntarily recognizes and acknowledges to have these presents resigned, conferred perpetually under the title of barronage and noble fief, having high, middle and low justice holden directly from the said place in the said Acadia as a dominant fief granted to the nobleman Philippe Meuse, Ecuyer, Sieur D'Entremont, and Lady Madeleine Helis, his wife, and nobleman Pierre Ferrant and Lady Mathuerine Sicard, his tvife be- ing present and accepting for their heirs from us according to the power given by His Majesty (the King) shown in the • Letters Patent dated February 20, 1650, in consideration of the particular merit of the said Lords D'Entremont and Ferrant and to their said wives in equal participation the extent called.

The said Lords D'Entremont and Ferrant, their heirs and successors shall have perpetual right of the chase and fishes in the waters and woods of the said lands- on andson condition of rendering said homage to said Loxd de La Tour and his suc- cessors for ',the land and barronage of Pubnico. Given and passed at Fort Port Royal (Acadia), the 17th July, 1653, in the presence of the. witnesses hereafter signing : (Signed) Charles De St. Etienne. Emmanul La Bcigne de St. Mais. • Philippe Meuse D'Entre- .mont. Pierre Ferrant. Madeleine Helis. Mathuerine Sicard. La Vierdure." Shortly after the army that had been sent to America by Cromwell captured Acadia from the French, the twe great families of La Tour and, D'Entremont were joined by marriage. Two daughters of the High and Mighty Lord La Tour became the, wives of Philippe Meuse D'Entremon't. Soon the Nova Scotia La Tours had, all died ,and thus it fell that the title to the baronage vested in the D'Entremonts, in which family it has remained to this day. Blood Stili Pure. More than two centuries have pass- ed, but the lineage of the Barons of Pubnico has continued unsullir.d. No foreign blood has been mixed with theirs, it is still as pure as when the inhabitants of Pubnico first paid hom- ag: to their new lord. Directly, from son to father, Hilaire D'Entremont traces his descent from Philippe Meuse, the D'Entremont of the grant; his family is not collateral; it is the some line that flourished in the days before the Lilies of France gave way to the Roses of England, in the vast Dominions over seas. His family were makers of history, hewers of destiny, and the present . is rightfully proud of the "glory that once was ours." All readers of history will remem- ber that when Acadia was ceded to the English, there was a stipulation in the treaty what' exempted the French iln Acadia from taking the oath of allegiance, or bearing arms against the French in that portion of Canada which still remained to France. In all the new world there was no land like this. The forests were virgin, and game abounded through tellies of wonderful timber limits upon whieh no white man had placed a foot. Streams teemed with fish; brooklets watered the pastures; and on all sides lay productive farms. But the French had been there long years before the English, they had tilled the soil for years; and of the richest of this rich land they were tk'n nwncrs, From England eame set-, t!crs to reap the treasures that lay w'liting them in the new possession, Acadia was new a .dependency of Pit tin, and Britain's sons would. •hare inythe wealth that, according to the reports that had gone to the homeland, was almost inestimable. When they came and found the French in possession of all that was hest worth having, they were .first disappointed, and then they became i'ovetous. no abundance was not as great as they had been led to believe. u'i,t aside from the holdings of the older inhabitant;, there was little to cc•nipens::te them for leaving England. Expulsion From Acadia. Soon tine :secret longing developed intoopen 'murmurings mol Huttnn of dt_sati f c - tion and the English determined to find a means of seizing the farms that belonged to the Acadians. The oppor- tunity was not long in coining. Hard- ly had the troubles in Acadia between England and France, been settled, when the two nations again became involved in war. Naturally enough the sympathies of the 'French in Nova Scotia were with ,their countrymen. The Englih settlers, eager to become me masters of the soil,, said it was dis- loyalty and warned the authorities that if stringent measures were not taken the Acadian French would take arms against England. Promptly came the instructions that the French wore to subscribe to the Oath of- Allegiance. The Acadians re- fused, the English said it was a fur- ther sign of disloyalty and impressed upon the Government the fact that if the French did rise up against the English, they would probably succeed in retaking Acadia for France. Im- pressed by this reasoning, and, pos- "-dy, impelled by the desire to pro- f Ile for the wants of the clamorous settlers, England notified the Aeadians that unless they forthwith swore al- legiance to the King, they would be expelled. It is history that again the French refused to take the oath and, conse- quently, were driven from their farms and carried in ships to different parts -of New England, but it is not my pur- pose to write of the hardships of the expulsion. This is simply the story of the House of Pubnico. On the eastern side of Pubnico har- bor stood the Castle of."Cape Sable, the home of Jacques D'Entremont. Under the shadow of the structure dwelt the retainers of this puissant family; men and women whose very existence was interwoven with the High and Mighty Lord whom they served. The D'Entremonts had the affection of their tenants, the latter were good men and true, and the oath of fealty that they had taken to their masters was no empty ceremony. Day of the Departure. In the early autumn of 1756 the stately Castle of Cape Sable was laid low and the baron made prisoner and his lands despoiled. One day a watch- . er of the castle saw a large vessel under full sail heading up the harbor. As she drew nearer it became evident that she was a ship of war, and a ship of war approaching the strong- hold of the Pubnicos could have but ane meaning. The blow had fallen, the dreaded day of expulsion had ar- rived, and the settlers wee a to be torn from the homes that they loved. But the D'Entremonts were then, as now, men of courage. and, as be- fitted their noble station, were peeper - to fight to the death in the defence of their rights and their propert•7. The great bell in the tower was rung to call in the workers in the rearby fields, while messengers were de- spatched to warn those further away. Men, women and children hurried through.the great gates of the castle, which, when the last retainer had en- tered were closed. Just as the sun was dipping into, the west the strange ship dropped anchor opposite the castle, and her captain came ashore and req}lested admittance to "Cape Sable." This was refused, as was his demand that the ehstle be' surrendered to him. ' Immediately the attack commenced. The struggle was of short duration, and in less than an hour the gates were battered down; the fierce con- flict in the castle ,yard over. and the baron made prisoner. Then began the work of plunder. The treasures of the D'Entremonts were carried to the ship. Before the, nefarious work was `completed a small band of Acadians came dashing to the rescue and suc- ceeded in driving off the men from the ship, not, however, before the lat- ter had set fire to Cape Sable. Be - for the sun had disappeared into the west all that remained of the strong- hold of a High and Mighty Lord, were smouldering ashes,and crumpled stone. The Baron D'Entremont was taken to Boston, where he remained until his death. With the return of the Acadians came two sons of the old baron who journeyed back to Nova Scotia, and settled upon the lands of their fath- er:, which had been re -granted to them by Governor Lawrence, who al- so restored their barony. But the D'Entremants were not the great fac- tors they had been before the expul- sion. In the interval the English settlers had become the real rulers and masters of the country and the returned Acadians were as strangers in a strange land. No longer were the Barons of Pubnicob o b e High t and Mighty Lords; no longer were they to be the givers of justice. And to -day all that remains of the grandegr that once was their's is memories, Memories that are dearly cherished by each generation of a no- ble house. The present holder of the title is a fisherman, and, a gentleman. He is advancing in age, and each year he stays more at home, while his heir goes to the banks in his little fish- ing smack. If it should ever be the fortune of any of niy readers to jour ney to Pubnieo, they will have little difficulty in recognizing Hilaire D'En- tremont'i for the modest dignity of his bearing and the grace and cour- teousness of his manner bespeak the presence of one who has in his keep- ing the title and prestige of those who were.
