What prophetic words! Thus vre discover that Voorhees. the Democrat of Indiana, delivered five speeches, while a member of Congress, in defense -of the South. He saw with a statesman's eve. as did Thomas Hen drick*. Allen G. Thurman. Jere Black and Samuel .T. Tl'don. He stood for vs when it was popular to persecute u?.

Lewis Carroll died nine years ago His “Won- d*--'ar.d” book was first published in 3865. Lang famous and familiar as the “Alice” volume has been, the fact that it is within eight years of its semi centennial is almost startling, its non sense-wisdom is of such constant freshness and pertinence that each new upgrowth of readers receives from it the impression of contemporary or'gin. The white rabbit, the 'hatter, the Ches hire cat and the March hare are crea tion? always of today. The voice of the lobster is heartT to declare no yes terday. There could be, perhaps, no bprto- tes- of a certifi—t? -»• quality. But "Alice in Wonderland” is e\-en more then a classic; it is its own “one of a kind.” Lewis Carroll, les? known to fame as the Rev. Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was mildly surprised at the instant success of his "Wonderland” stories. More *urpr!sed were hosts of delighted readers to learn that their newest, brightest entertainer was in his pro fessional person an Oxford don and a tutor in mathematics. However, it was to have been expected that a tutor who could tu-n Eurlfd Into a suhlect of d>-i- matlc and wittye discourse, as Mr. Dodg*on once. did. should do some thing else quite original on the side. The little girl who inspired Lewis Carroll's playful-wise pen was Alice Liddell, the small daughter of Dean Liddeell. To her and her sisters were told by word of mouth some of the sto ries that appeared later in the book. When "Alice” came out. Queen Victo ria wrote anxiously asking that a copy of Mr. Carroll’s next volume about the "Wonderland” girl bo sent to her prjmptlv. And presently it developed to Mr. Dedvson’s further amazement that the book conceived for little folk had appealed with Its im-stic mock learning to the intellects of the grown ups. That appeal “Alice in Wonder land” has nei'er lost. In a London hospital for children an "Alice in Wonderland” cot stands a* a memorial to Lewis Carroll. The vogue of the book will be probably not less permanent. The removal of the copy right b2r may multiply reproductions of Sir John Tennlel’s illustrations, but how can it bring to Alice an acquaint ance much wider than print'ng press and =tage aai’e already afforded her it is difficult to see. of a bugle Ji©rn. and through the trees comes the lonely funerel procession wh'ch has so branded Itself on the pave? of English history: "The rolling blood stainPd car. and driver grim who points his finger to the lifeless body of the King.” But the cart is one of the ancient type of New Forest carts, which have come down unchanged since Norman in the moral energy nnd vital power ' times; the driver Is the direct descen- whicb are itself.

Both text and pictures of the localities with which it is accompan ied, give a I’H’id idea of what the men hai’e to face who are sent out to save the fertile valleys which the flood has threatened so seriously. It is a tale which gives a wonderful conception of the rower of water un controlled and the writer, Wilbur Bassett, has handled it 5’erv well in deed. H's description of the condi tions which have brought about the present state of things in the valleva which extend back for miles from the ri5’er banks and his tale of the river’s terrible destruction of every barrier which has been set before it is very remarkable.

Th? whole town has beer working in wonderful unity, all sects alike, to commemorate worthily the thousandth year since the foundation of the abbe;,- (997) and to devote the pro'-eeds, if any, to the complete re storation of their noble church.
