When the Manltou had said these
words he caused the wolf to be set
down again on earth, hat all he said
was true. The wolf no longer walked
with the otber animals, but sneaked
along through the woods, and never
more could he associate with his
friends, but only with the other wolves
who formed Into a pack and came
forth only at night and killed and were
killed, even as the Manitou bad said.
So it is unto this day even as the
Manitou commanded. If you believe it
not, go forth into the quiet of the
woods and watch the wolf and see his
habits. And be you alx~ays on guard,
for the wolf which was good Is now
bad and his hand is against you and
yours Is against him, and so shall it
be always, for that is the command of
the Manitou who is the father of us all.

among the Umatillas and occurs in a
slightly different form among the
Blackfeet.

Iceland Poppies.
The wonder of tourists at Lake
Louise, Alberta, and at Banff the last
year has been the marvelous display
of Iceland poppies. These poppies,
planted by Princess Louise at Lake
Louise about ten years ago, now cover
acres at Lake Louise and large areas
at Banff. Perennials. they live all
winter and blossom continually from
early in May until October. The
faster one plucks them, to quote an
old Irish song, the faster they grow.
At Banff they are the first green
things to show above the soil, and the
gardener at the Banff Springs hotel
has often found a dozen wild deer
feeding upon the early shoots. The
deer eat the first growth, but the sec-
and growth is too bitter for them.
Besides, by that time other green
sprouts have appeared, and the
orange, yellow and white poppies ar~
left unmolested, to bloom all through
the summer and well Into the fall.

Whales Not Disappearing.
Can the whales multiply with suffi-
cient rapidity to prevent their exter-
mination by man? The whalemen
themselves are convincedthat they
can. They estimate that there are
tens of thousands of whales in the
seas, and at present the various whal-
ing stations have been able to catch
all the whales they need without going
more than two hundred miles up and
down the coast and out to sea. Each
station has undoubtedly already taken
more whales than would be natural
residents of the.waters in which they
operate, hence the losses in that area
can only be made up by other whales
swimming in from other parts of the
sea.

"Oh, yes."

AN ALLEN'S PRAYER
f
By Martha Littleton
Across the sea my hands reach out
To my native land with troubles wrot,
My thoughts take wing, and kneeling
pray :
"Dear Lord of hosts, art Thou not
nigh ?"
\Vith outstretched hands, and tear-dim-
med eyes
I look to Heaven, and wonder why
'Twas ever thus in ages past,
And fear to think how long 'twill last.
Could we but see, as in a glass,
Reflections of the awful past
Pictured there before our eyes,
With fear our hearts would paralyze.
"Make us to feel thy wondrous power,
The need of love, in this late hour;
The power that love alone will bring
Solace and peace to hearts of men.
Endow us Lord, with love of a brother,
Make us, in harmony, one with another.
Peace on earth to all men bring--
Thy will be clone, Oh, Lord.
Amen."

--And then, thousands of feet above
the cruel ledges, I pulled the string
that released me, knowing well that
should nay parachute fail to open I
would (lash my poor brains out on the
rocks beneath.
