We have me elteltnetive then but either to turn Or pariahs. In these words to Ezekiel, and to us through him, there is not only warning but encouragement and con- solation to all humble and contrite hearts. We see that, sinful and un- deserving as we are, our Heavenly Father watches over has with the ut- most •possible tenderness and anxiety. He impresses on our hearts that whoever turns from any evil way, any wrong course, either of sin com- mitted or of duty neglected has un- questionably God's blessing on him ! —( Condensed from The Sermon Bible). Dr. Parker in preaching on Per- sonal Responsibility says: Christ- ianity has only one purpose Holi- ness. It begins in motive, but it ends in character. We are to breathe Christ's spirit, repeat his deed, fol- low His footsteps, and represent Him to mankind. Christianity has only one test -.-Service; to die for Christ, to work for Christ, to be always re- peating Christ's great mission to the world. la l evazpoonfriaZ ]alt toe Gai7gage . 4 a alllgeeeQ LSDQ AD- atE aQaGaing o600386-45, God to bear His message to the Jews. He is appointed to the office of watchman—"Sig thou, 0 son of man, I have set thee' a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and, warn them from me." Ezekiel is sent to warn sinners that the wages of sin is death. Fur- thermore he is sent to say unto them, 'As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that .tete\wicked turn from his way and live; urn ye, turn ye, from your evil ways; for why will ye die, 0 house of Israel?" In these words we have both the voice of warning and encouragement that Ezekiel was to give to the peo- ple. The lesson they were to learn from the message is for us in our day as well as for those ancient peo- ple. We are warned, as they, that our spiritual and everlasting condi- tion isin some mysterious manner placed within our own power—that if we die, spiritually and eternally, it will be ,ouzo own doing, the conse- quence of our own wilful presump- tion and miserable folly.

Jim Jeffries, ter his retire• went, had to come back again because he needed money. Bob Fitzsimmons had nothing when he died, after fighting for 20 years or more. Gans, Griffo and McGovern died in poverty. Nelson, who earned more than half a million dollars, had only a small portion to carry him through after he retired. Ad. Wolgast was kept by the charity of friends when his brains became affected in ebnsequence of the punchings he had received and was later removed to an asylum. •Stan- ley Ketchel, one of the greatest miFl- dleweights in ring history, who died in his prime, had hardly anything left. Paul Belrlenbach must have made plenty of money but he has been forced. to come back and try to make a living at the game which he left to take up boxing, namely, wrestling. James J. Corbett is an exception He is a shrewd man but he continues to work for a living, and is no pluto- crat. Babe Ruth, who earns $70,000 a year playing •ball, and as much more from other sources, was almost broke two or three years ago. He is saving now and has built up 'a trust fund whose income will keep him in comfort when his playing days are over. Walter Hagen, the golfer, ie said to earn as much as $80,000 n year. Golfers have a great advant- age over exponents of other sports in that after they are through as tournament performers, they can al- ways get profitable jobs as club pro- fessionals. There are many golf pro • fessionals, whose names are unknown to the headlines of championship play who earn $12,000 to $15,000 a year as instructors, and they can continue to earn good incomes• long after the days of their activity have paesed. If he has the gift of imparting in struction a professional golfer can earn comfortable money at the age of seventy. than the slope of Mount Royal for illustration and confirmation of the parable. g Of course, it may have only been a coincidence, but McTavish had started to build his new house and he died suddenly in the night, after a visit to the site. lJr. Potts certainly believed in the coincidence as good pulpit ammunition; but a certain cynical doctor protested that the old man probably stayed out too late went home and developed a cold, a natural result of an aged man roam- ing around at night. CHAMPIONS' EARNING EASY COME, EASY GO Grantland Rice, who knows as much about sport as any American and has in addition the ability to write about it charmingly, says that with few ex- ceptions professional athletes did poor. They have great earning ca- pacity, but not the ability to save nor the luck to make wise invest- ments. That they should not be sav- ers is atural enough for the quali- ties tl at distinguish a man on the f eld o any competitive sport do not as a rule, include caution. But it is curious that when they are lions they do not have the luck to meet admir- ers who will give them valuable tips on the stick market. There ..is a Canadian team of professional hoci-ev players which has gained notoriety fbr the happy investments its !nem bers have been able to make. The boys were much patronized by weal- thy brokers who gave them profitable advice. We should think that this kind of good fortune would not be un- usual in the case of outstanding ath- letes who were also decent human be- ings. Writing under the apt title of "Pro and Coin" in Collier's, Mr. Rice be- gins the roll call with John L. Sulli- van, who earned probably a million dollars at a time when a million dol- lars seemed quite a bit of money, es- pecially in towns like Guelph and Fe--- gus. h4. died almost penniless. The same thing probably would have hap- pened if Sullivan had made twice as much. He was a mighty battler with the flowing bowl, but we doubt tha+ he ever drank $100,000 worth of lig uor. But what he did drink, no doubt helped unfit him for clear thinking. He gave away and lent plenty of money, and maid` silly investments Belonging to the S`ellivali period or a little later were two professional bal players, Ed. Delehanty and la Napol- eon Lajoie, the latter well and favor ably known to many Toronto people through his connection with the ball club for a season. These meg were the outstanding players of their day and when they asked the Philadel- phia team for $2,500, the manage- ment thought they were robbers. We do riot know just how much mone:, Messrs. Delehanty and Lajoie were able to put by. The point is that in their day earnings of baseball stars were nothing like what they have since become. There were hardly any profession- al golfers in the United States when Delehanty and Lajoie were Philadel- phia hold -outs, and there were few football or other professional coaches at the colleges. The coaching was done for the most part by old gradu- ates who would return for a few weeks to show the young fellows how the games should be played. But in the early nineties Stagg Warner and a few others were, getting under way and starting a profession that now numbers thousands. College coaches, we should think, would also be in a favorable position to invest their money wisely, but Mr. Rice does not discuss this point, mentioning them only to show how new professions for athletes have developed in the past 30 or 40 years. By all odds, fighters have been the greatest money earners among the athletes and this was always so, for it seems that the That July 7th was the 125th anni- versary 'of the death of Simon Mc Tavish, the Montreal merchant who founded the North West company in opposition to the Hudson's Bay com- pany? Born in Scotland in 1750, he came to Canada when a young man and settled at Montreal, where he soon became a leading figure in the commercial world. He was the busi- ness man at Montreal; the work of exploration and trading he left to his partners, while he looked after the siller, sold the furs and suggested new fields for the company to con- quer. McTavish was a remarkable char- acter. He should have been a feudal lord in the Highlands of Scotland, rul- ing his tenants with an iron hand. He was a bachelor, but yet lived in regal state in Montreal, entertaining literally like a prince, at banquets and receptions which were the talk of the town and the biggest thin„ in the society of that day. But, like other grand seigneurs, he was, des- pite his wealth, unpopular. He had a fiery temper and a vocabulary which was the admiration of other nro• ponents of strong language and the terror of his underlings. The Frencl. disliked him thoroughly, and nick- named him "le marquis" and "1e premier," and, despite the fact that he bought the seigneury of Terre - bonne, he could not make the habit- ants bend to his will. - Forty odd years ago Montreal was still being entertained by tales of his mangnificence, his arrogance and his ruthlessness both in business and private life. We were told that .-1St before his death he started the e n- struction of a great mansion on he slope of the mountain which was never completed and the ruins of which were then still in evidence near the residence of the Allan family. Indeed, newcomers, and especially newly arrived Englishmen, were told that old McTavish's ghost haunted the spot and were warned that it was not advisable to tarry near it when essaying the tramp across Mount Royal on snowshoes. One youngster, who afterwards became a continent - wide known sporting editor, play- wright and horse owner, laughed at the legend. He was dared to gc up to the McTavish ruin and spend the night there. He accepted the chal- lenge and the date was fixed for the next Saturday night (Saturday being the only night morning newspaper- metr have for recreation) after the snowshoe tramp over Mount Royal. He was to come back with the rest of the crowd and drop off at the "haunted house" and reporxt his ex periences the next day. Tilat was all right; but a practical joker, af4! c - wards an M.P., got busy on Saturday afternoon. He went up to the ruin, used some paint and phosphorus freely and placed a skeleton (borrow- ed from a medical college) garbed in white where it would be visible to anyone who stayed around. The trick worked. The victim was back at his boarding house within an hour and told the awful details of how he had seen McTavish diggings in the ruins. It was a great "stunt"; and the vice, tim in after years used it in a play; but it was not until he .4as being given a farewell banquet in Termite when he was going to the States that he learned the truth about the "Mc- Tavish ghost." The fact that the great trader died suddenly soon after he had started the construction of his Mansion was not lost in the clergy. On one oc- casion, Rev. John Potts, then poor of 'St. James' Mmthodict church, Mont- real, too for his tsitt Luke If, 12-21, told it his ride brogue the 'Torg of the tlich man, ?rhe p aaed to build larger and grafter and 'be whom God gall: Ttin , fool, this night thy soul- shall be required of thee% pa L aged the ed of mind of saneh a man arms retznintteil the con- gregation that they rated go no further •eee nirag but they were regarded -chiefly l lUelty enough 'to get on a hot " `• ;snit,• 15ut the dogs did not /run in a • iseo• They ran singly, each anocralaiii .tee limit of his speed.

Four -Toes was caught his tracks were noted near the boiler o$ - an old abandoned saw mil$, .e - caped as usual but investigation show- ed that he had spent this winter at. leapt in the soot box of the forward]' ' end of the boiler. The man who event- ually caught him figured out. that Four -Toes must be lonely since all the other coons in the district had. been: exterminated. So his lure consisted]' of various scents that would make n nostalgic appeal to a coon who re- mained solitary through no desire of? his own. These fatal essences event- ually led old Four -Toes to the trap.. When weighed he turned the ,beam tit 46 pounds, and when one considera- that a coon has the cunning of a e>�- the ferocity of a cougar and the stu borness of a bulldog, one can begin lei understand his long spell of freedoeet and the reason no dog could be fonts], equal to the double task of running him down ant killing him. =van implement of sport, juet as the Englishman re, rds a fox. But when the farmers began to , raise purebred poultry they eeaeed to view coons so tolerantly. They were set on the path of higher grade poultry by a lecturer from Abe state farm °bureau, who pointed out to them that although the raising of poultry was the chief source of income when corn crops failed, this income could be doubled or trebled if a better kind of fowl was br ., The first to become converted to this doc- trine was a man named Joe Wicker, whom our readers are probably hear- ing about for the first time. He ord- ered a half dozen,? pullets and a hen at the fabulous price of $25, and as the shipment would be a week in ar- riving he proceeded to fix up a 'suit- ably sumptuous pen for ,he birds in the meantime. Under the wall often makeshift corn crib he discovered a recently made hole, indicating a coon. The theory accepted was that under the crib were numerous rata'`arrd mice and that the coon 'was hunting them. t. So a trap was set and sure enough the next morning it was found sprung, and clutched between the steel teeth was the large toe of ee racoon. Mr. Wicker congratulated himself upon having scared the animal ocfore the arrival of his chickens, but the day after he had received them he was horrified upon going into the chicken house to find them all dead or dying. There was a hole under the wall which showed the imprint of a coon minus a toe. DTs were put on the trail and for sevee al nights coon hunts were held but with no result. Then stories began to come through from other farmers in the district who had started up with purebred chick- ens. They announced that they had either retired from the business or were about to start up again because their premises had been ravaged by a four -toed 'coon. It seemed that thin beast had no interest in the common barnyard fowl but was concentrating upon valuable pedigreed, tock. J Whether all the farmers were' like Wicker, raising large White \ yan- dottes, we do not know, but if set it is perhaps understood why they should make a particular appeal -to a noc- turnal animal such as the. coon. • But he seemed to be killing -more for•,spert than for food. If he entered a hen house one or two hens 'might ere de- voured,but the others would be mere- ly mangled. Real alarm spread through the dis- trict and huntsnevenw planned as seri- ously as thoua another kind of coon had been the prey. Telephones were put in eo that the alarm could be quickly spread after a fresh kill, ng, and coon dogs were bred and trai ed for the special purpose of-runnng down Four -Toes. The poultry -raking farmers organized' themselves into small clubs and each club offered reward. In the end these beta - large enough to attract the intere t of men from neighboring states who e chief business was the - hunting )f coons. The result was a great clear- ing out of coons throughout- Egypt, but Four -Toes was never seen, though his ominous tracks were foundrin al- most every poultry house in the dis- trict that had any fowl worth ki}ling. On one occasion when the posse was hot on his trail, he led his pursuer: to a couple of innocent coons and doubled on his tracks. In the winter pour -Toes went furth- er south, it was supposed, for every hollow tree and large hole in the dis- trict was examined when the farmers had leisure but no trace of him was found.

Canad- ian Manufacturers' Association at Halifax recently, is one of the most active and energetic "retired" business men in Canada to -day. Feeling the stress of business a lit- tle too keenly, about a year ago he gave up the vice-presidency of th,. Great West Saddlery Company Ltd., in favor of his sons J. G. "Jack" and D. J. "Douglas" who became vice- president and sales manager respec- tively, and decided to give himself a well-earned rest. This is his idea of a good rest. He is president of the General Supplies Ltd., Calgary; is director of the Mo- tor Car Supply Co. Ltd. of Canada president of the Alberta Nash; presi- dent of the McLeod Oil Company v:ce-president of the McDougal Segur Oil Co. (new); vice-president of the McDougal Seguar Exploration Co. vice-president of Commonwealth Pet- roleum Ltd.; vice-president of the Regal Petroleum; director of Regal Distributors; president of the E. M Carson Saddlery and Leather Good,' Co. Ltd., Medicine Hat; director of the Crowfoot Farming Co.; and direc tor of the Western Stock Ranch. Although, during this short year of 'rest" it would appear that Mr. Hut things was fairly active ih a business way, he did not let it interfere with community service. He is a pioneer member of the session of Knox Unit- ed Church, works hard for the Cal - eery board of trade and for the Al berta development board (souther! section); is a keen Rotarian and ar energetic Mason and has now, to round out his quiet days taken on the 1 -residency of the Canadian Manu facturers' Association. Although he rises at six in the morning, it is not surprising to learn that Mr. Hutchings finds the day much. too short for his various activities. REWARD OF $2,500 FOR 14ARAUDING COON That cage in the hall of fame hith- erto occupied by the solitary coon made illustrious by his association with Davy Crockett has a worthy ad- dition. It is "Four -Toes," the recoon that for five years terrorized a whole district in Ohio. The beast is now residieig ne a zoo, which is an indica- tion of the sporting instinct of the farmers whose property, to the value of thousands of dollars he destroyed in the course of his sensational ca- reer. Probably no other American wild beast, with the exception of Lobo, the western wolf, wp ever the subject of so much speculation or romancing on the part of the farmers among whom he moved, and what purports to be the true story of him has been told by Samuel Overton, in Farm and Fire- side. Rewards amounting at least to $2,000 rwere offered for the, capture of "Pour -Toes" and many a famous coon huater and specially trained dog were put on his trail. In the end, when the poultry raisers of Egypt had come to the conclusion that the mar- auder would never be captured, along game a quiet little `inan with a trep of his cram¢ construction. le ._ disap- peared into the woods and three days later emerged with "Four -Toes„ • a prisoner. il6ilow old, the coon was befere he became identified by the. lance he was to bear nty'body knows.
