He has charged that the police of Mon- treal 'are tolerating public immoral ity dor a consideration, which is a most serious allegation. THE MEN IN THE FORT.

Stephen Phillips Expresses Theh Grief In Poem, "Fhe Wound." Here is one who finely champions the woe of the Molher Heari.

Let thst voice--hith erto silenced ---- be once heard, we pray. Let the-men who lecture us sh down and ponder the poem in which Stephen Phillips (by some divine in- spiration) expresses that uttermost woe which justifies "depression," or what the unthinking call '"'depres- gion"; "THE WOUND." "I dreamed that, Laving soul was brought Into the Presence. Many angels stood Around, and with delight .upon me gazed, And higher I discerned the face of God-- Diffusing silent universal bliss. Then moved an angel toward me, and with joy Addressed me, rest at last, having rested, then thou shalt rejoice.' The heavenly company smiled on me sweet; But I unbared my soul, and showed to them That wound which word, or hope, Or pity hath qver 'suaged, and the sight. A strange disturbance on jhe spirits came, And even a dimuess on the Face of Cod. Then rose from God's right hand a gentle Form, silent eyes thou forgot?' And He disclosed his branded brow and hands; But I, toward .him turning, said: 'Thy wounds were many, badst no child'." died, my saying: 'Come and And, never human at With that said: 'Hast softly but Thou "Here and there to-day are men who touch, more or less remotely, on that woe of the Mother Heart, seeing Her children so outraged, s0 dese- crated, so, wasted to man's insensate rage of ambition, seeing fhe Divine process of Creation so wasted to ends so futile; and here and $here the voice. of man has sought to express the sense of "Rachel weeping for her children' because they are not.' But, before the sacredness of the voice it- gelf, 'the voice 'of uttermost woe and sorrow, the man who . understands stands silent, dumb, strickén with the understanding of that révelation-- that here is that which lives beyond words, a depth of agony that neo healing power mere words can touch. "For the Mother Heart ig not the mother of her own sons in a physical sense merely, She. mourns the wast. ed man of 'every son spent upon the "world's SDattiogelds; and, out upon the 'siprmy - ait of conflicting feelings and emotions goes the cry, more intense because so deeply sil ent." hi ' Bank's Gold Submerged. The Bank of England has its own water supply. One artesian well, 400 feet deep, gives a supply of 7,000 gallons ap hour. As a direct conse- quence of the high cost of watér in London, the bank authorities in 1910 placed a contract to sink another well. This renders the bank 'independent of the public supply of water. One curious use to which this water is put. is not generally known: the bul- lion department is nightly submerged in several feet of water by the action, of machinery. The same machinery is so adjusted that, if a dishonest officer during the 'day or night should take even one of a plle of 1,000 sovereigns, the whole pile would instantly sink and a pool of water would take its place, i.
