of the landmarks of Exeter and has
warm, associations in the hearts of
many people, not only in Exeter but
by many who have gone out from
this community and that the church
was spared is a source of great joy.
Just what will be done to replace
the tower has not been decided. A
church bell has been suggested as has
also a clock. It is hardly likely the
old spire will be replaced,

EXETER
James Street Church Struck.—The
;steeple of the James street Methodist
:burst, was destroyed by fire on Fri-
day evening of last week and it was
only by heroic efforts that this
large structure was saved from
being totally destroyed. The fire had
gained such headway that it was
thought at one time the building was
doomed. During Friday afternoon a
storm threatened this section and a
slight' rain fell shortly after five
o'clock. Just about Stix o'clock
a streak of lightning followed aby a
loud crash of thunder struck the spire
of the church, this being about the
only severe flash during the storm.
hortly after smoke and fire were
seen issuing from the building and a
fire alarm was sent in and in a short
time the firemen were on the scene.-
A bucket brigade carried water to
the inside of the tower and smother-
ed out the falling embers. It was
with difficulty that the flames were
eonfaned to the tower. The roof took
fire in several places. A ladder was
run up to the roof and fireman
fought the flames from near the top
of the ladder. When the tower fell
Mr. Thos. Creech was on the ladder
and it came his way. Hie promptly
swung around under the ladder close
under the eave, the tower missing
'hara by just a fsw feet. The auditor -
um of the church was flooded with
water which soaked through into the
basement. A small piece of plaster
fell in the auditorium, otherwise the
€lama2e was not great. The fire
caused great excitement and a large
crowd was soon on the ground. Work-
men on Saturday ran a very haz-
ardous risk in removing the hanging
bricks and timbers, but everything
was got into shape and service was
held as usual on Sunday with the ex-
ception that the evening• service was
held at seven o'clock instead of eight
on account of the electric light ser-
Justice said: "Mr. Nicholas Alexan-
I droviteh Romano#f, you are accused
of having plotted. to overthrows the
f free Government of the people - of
Russia now prevailing, and having
made efforts to establish a rule of
terror as before."
To this, Nicholas replied in a
trembling voice: "The charge is a
lues T have never plotted against the
people of . my country,. never. I've
lived ' always, since my abdication,
under your guards." Here the pris-
oner's emotion overcame him, and
he could say no more. Then one of
the judges, glancing ever the court-
room, generally enquired: "Does
any one of you, comrades, wish to
.act as a lawyer for Mr. Nicholas
Romanoff?" At this there was a
chorus of hoots, and one learned
brother shouted: "The former auto-
crat knows the law and can defend
himself without a lawyer." The
prisoner, having no more to say,
there was a whispered consultation
among the judges, and then, after a
short interval, it was announced
that he had been tried and found
guilty, and that the sentence of the
court was that he should be shot.
The crowd cheered at this, and the
judges, who lad been having lunch,
lit their cigarettes and the proceed-
ings were over.
The fainting Nicholas was taken
in charge by two guards and thrust
into a carsriage. ' Father John was
able to accompany him, and the
vehicle set out into :the country.
Although Nicholas was handcuffed
he contrived to get a jeweled cross
from his neck, and begged one of his
warders to see that it was given to
his son, and that his last greetings
should be sent to all his children.
The cross was taken, but whether it
ever reached the Car's son is ex-
tremely unlikely. After a long drive
the carriage turned off the main
road and stopped on a hill `surround-
ed by pine trees. Here the judges
had gathered, and with them a con-
siderable company -of Bolsheviki 1 of-
ficials. A. post had been driven into
the ground. Near it was a wooden
bench upon which the prisoner sank.
He was given a cup of water and told
that sentence was to be carried out
immediately. He begged for a few
moments to speak with Father John
and this slight boon was granted.
. With his last words the former
Czar imp/bred Father John to give
his blessing to his fancily. The fate
of his children tortured him. He
called God to witness that he had
done the best he could for his coun-
try, but said that he had been cheat-
ed and abused by those upon whom
he relied. He predicted that Russia
would never thrive under a democ-
racy, least of all under Bolshevikisna,
but that a free, intelligent monarchy
was necessary for his country.
"Have mercy on - my wife and child -
S�tce being cut off. It is said that ; ren. God. help Russia," were his
lightning seldom strikes twice in the}[ last words. He was seized by four
1 guards and carried to the post. where'
he was tied. Then- on- a signal, the,
Red Guards fired a volley into his
body, and• twenty bullets pierced
him. . So endeth the . chapter, ac-
cording to the veracious chronicle
oil Farther John. Whether there is
such a person as Father John or
such a cathedral, ae Uspensky we do
not .profess to certify, .and must con-
fess to a certain robust incredulity
concerning about ninety-nine - per
cent. of the ,stories that have come
from Russia in the past century.
However, there is nothing inherently
improbable in this account of the
Czar's fast moments, and no we give
it for what it may be worth.

NATURE MACE'S MISTAKES.
Some Animals Do Not Thrive Best
In Their Habitat.
The habitat of a ' species of animal
is the region in which it is found in
a state of nature. It is currently
believed that the habital of any crea-
ture is the region for which it is best
adapted. But the reverse of this is
often, true, says a writer in a Belfast
paper. There are many cases in
which a specie introduced in a new
territory through the voluntary or in-
voluntary influence of man has
shown a marvellous adaptation and
power of persistence. The rapid
spread of rabbits and pigs as wild
animals in Australia, of horses and •
cattle in South America, of the Eng-
lisp sparrow in North America, of
bumble -bees and house -fres in New
Zealand, are illustrations of thin. Not
one of these animals has maintained
itself in the wild state in its native
land as successfully as in these new:
countries to which it has been Intro-
diaeed. The work of introduction of
used' ' animals illustrates the same
fact. Tike carp; originally brought to
Europe from China . suds thence to
America as a food -fish becomes a
nuisance which cannot be eradicated,
destroying the eggs and the food-
stuff of far better fish. The ways in
which species may cross barriers in
a. state of nature are as varied as
the creatures thenis'etvee, and far
more varied than the actual barriers.
By the long -continued process of ad-
justment to conditions, with the in-
cessant destruction of the unadapted,
the various organisms hate become
so well.. fitted to their surroundings
that the casual observer may well
suppose that each inhabits the re-
gion best fitted for it. Men have even
thought that the conditions of life
have been °-fitted to the creatures
themselves, se perfect is this rela-
tion.
Alcohol From Bread.
Through the seizure ofstill in a
bakery in New Mexleo, where a quan-
tity of alcohol was discovered that
had been distilled from bake -oven:
fumes, considerable discussion has
taken place concerning -the feasibil-
ity of manufacturing alcohol as a by-
product of bread.
This still was a crudely construct,
ed affair, the 'vapor from the bread
being conducted from the oven into a
worm, which was cooled by passing
through a barrel of water, condensing
the vapor. The baker was not arrest-
ed, as it was clearly shown that no
evasion of -the law was intended.
However, possession of a still Is in
violation of the law, and this one was
seized by the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice, This baker states that quanti-
ties of alcohol can be manufactured
for war use at a very small cost by
army bakeshops and bakers in large
•cities. The practicability of the plan
remains. to be worked out.
FREQUENT HEADACHES
People with thin blood are much
more subject to headaches than full-
blooded persons and the form of anae-
mia that afflicts growing girls is al-
most always accompanied by : head-
aches, together with disturbance of
the digestive organs.
Whenever you have constant or re-
curring headaches and pallor of the
face, they show that the blood is thin
and your, efforts should be directed
toward buildin 'up your blood. A fair
treatment wit Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills will do t is effectively, and the
rich; red bloo made by these pills
will remove the headache.
More distuilhances to The health are
caused by their blood than most peo-
ple have any idea of. When your blood
is impoverished, the nerves suffer
from 'lack of nourishment and you
may be troubled with insomnia, neu-
ritis, neuralgia or sciatica. Muscles
subject to strain are under -nourished
and you may have muscular rheuma-
tism or' lumbago. If your blood is
thin and you begin to show symp-
toms of any of these disorders, try
building up the blood with Dr. Wile
liams' Pink Pills, and as the blood is
restored to its normal condition ev-
ery symptom of the trouble will dis-
appear. There are more people who
oeve their present state of good health
to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills than to
any other medicine, and most of them
do not hesitate to say so.
You can get Dr.Williams' Pink Pills
though any dealer in medicine or by
mail at 50c a 'box; or six boxes for
$2.50 from the Dr.Williams' Medicine
Co., Brockville, Ontario,
