The workings of primitive instinct cannot be pleaded on behalf of such as Hight, Loeb and Leopold. They consciously and deliberately defied the rules, habits and customs of so- ciety. They consciously elected to risk the penalties provided for the crimes they plotted and carried out. What right have they to expect clemency? If crime is to be regard- ed as atavism, none can be neld re- sponsible for its commission. What a gweet world it would be then. IN NOAH'S FOOTSTEPS. Mount Ararat, traditional landing place of Noah and ome of the oldest landmarks in history, Is suggested by the Armenian government at Frivan as an international park dedi- cated .to the advancement of world peace, By what irony of fate is this most forbidding of sites and this cen- tre of bloodshed and hatred offered to the serviee of peace on earth! Perliaps it was the thought of the authors of the proposal that interna- tional peace should take root where there is the least of it. Mount Ararat 1s 50 miles from the dusty lethargy of Erivan. Much of the intervening space is filled «ith rice-paddies where the water-buffalo grazes. Through the midst flows the rapid Araxes River, which must be forded. Between the river and the mountain is a no-man's land terror- ized by marauding bands of Kurds, whose passion it is to le in wait for travelers, kill 'and rob them, and then skip across the frontiers into Russia, Persia or Turkey. For Ara- rat is the giant landmark at the point where these countries come together, Between the Tartar Kurds and the Armenians the bitterest hostility is manifest, since on the map Armenia claims sovereignty over the mud wvil- lages where the banditti .disport themselves when they choose to come down from their mountain eyries. These freebooters ride fast and shoot straight and have no compunctions. If a traveler is lucky enough to get a chieftain to take him into the sheepskin tents of one tribe, it is considered a grand joke on the hospitable nomads when an adjoin- ing tribe raids the camp, breaks up the party and kills the guests, It one is'mot murdered on the way to the mountain, then there is the problem of the parching climb through lava-blocks piled like lumps of sugar in a bowl, and thence over the steep snow-slopes to an altitude of more than 17,000 feet. The fuai- cular railway, if it could be built, would obviate the lesser discomforts. But Ararat rises 12,000 feet above the plain, and most tourists would be sick and dizzy from the sudden change, at a height half a mile in excess of that of Pike's peak. Noah and those who have climbed the mountain since his day made the ascent more gradually. Altogether, the capitalists to put thelr money into a pleasure-resort on Ararat's snow-capped, storm-vexed brow does not appeal to those who know any- thing about the mountain. . invitation to -------- THE "GOOD OLD DAYS."

These are the days when Ontario's flelds and forests are aglow with glory. The luxurious foliage which held sovereign sway through spring and midsummer has been invaded by a host of yellow conquerors whose triumph is assured. Here and there maroon, russet and 'crimson inter- mingle in lovely confusion and the commonest hedge row is adorned with splotches of scarlet and varie- | gated with delicate tints and vivid colors in most unexpected Places. The leaves are falling taster with each passing day, until bye and bye the ground will be carpeted in a pattern of commingled brown and carmine and old gold. The bird life is meagre now and suffers sadly when compared with those choruses that made forest and field vibrant with melody in May. But the cheery notes of the chicka- dee, the friendly chirp of a vagrant woodpecker and the harsh measures of the handsome but unmusical blue Jay compensate in part for the ab- sence of the velvet-throated song- sters of yesterday. The first frosts have come. The nutting season 'will soon be on in earnest, An azure haze hangs over the horizon and throws a filimy veil across every vista. There 1s a tang in the air and the smell of burning brush. The wild geese fly honking overhead, dreaming of the sunlit pools of the southland. The chip- munk scampers across the road to a place of safety under a rail pile where, certain of gecurity, he sgru- tinizes the passerby.

It is time for the city man to forsake the streets and boulevards and to take the nearest highway that leads to, farm land, forest and stream.

In the year 1872 two famous Canadians set out to cross the Do- minion for the purpose of mapping out a railway route. ' Théy were Principal §rant, of Queen's Univer- sity, and Sir Sandford Fleming. At that time neither of them were as famous as they were afterwards to become, but both were indicating the qualities which made them great. Having made their arduous journey across the prairies and the Rockies to the Pacific coast, they pronounced ft, in the words of Prin- cipal Grant, "pot suited for lotus- eaters to live in, but fitted to rear a healthy and hardy race." Sir Sandford Fleming was not only a great railway engineer, though much of the Canadian Pacific Pe Inteftolonial railways were It under his direction, but he was a man of many parts. In 1880 he retired from business and became Chancellor of Queen's University of which Principal Grant was then chief. He devoted himself (6 Im- perial interest ahd dreamed a 'dream of a state-owned gystem .of telegraph lines linking the Empire. He lived to see the great imk forg- ed between Australia apd Canada in 1902.

The body 'nééds, regularly, Just as it needs food and But if inal position. He stated that this was a definite amount of work, and he looked. up- on it as one of his daily duties. One of the boys in the room sug- gested, under his breath of course, that he had a pile of wood in his cellar and that he'd be mightly glad to have the master come down and saw it for him. This would be more useful work than shovelling the sand from one part of the cellar to another. As for me, I figured that with baseball, football, and the ordinary playground games 1 was getting my share of exercise. Now what about his sand busi- ness? Well, it had is helpful side to this master, because it was something de- finite for him to do, to get done. Did he enjoy it? Not particularly. Did it help him? : Yes! Although work or exercise | in which you-are Interested, really does you more good than uninter- esting or "duty" work or play, nevertheless this regular work done twice a day gives splendid results. Why? Because of its dally regularity. Perhaps you have the idea that exercise such as games which you! enter Into with zest, is the best®erm of exercise. It is, if you play often enough, that is daily, or at least three times a week. But if you think a game of golf Saturday or even Sunday afternoon, can replace daily exercise--even if it be shovelling sand--you are mak- Ing a big mistake. That body of yours wants chang- ing conditions to be kept in good shape. You want your meals and sleep dafly if you are to feel right. You'd have one great life of it, if you did all your eating and sleeping for the week, on Monday. Now play, or a game, is certain- ly more beneficial and more relaxing than shovelling sand, but the reg- ular exercise is the important point. it, and needs it rest.

October, with most of us, is pleas- &antly associated with clear cool weather, frost, sunny harvest days, and bright, tall colors. F¥r two of our staple crops, October is a eritical time. Corn is subject to conmsider- able injury by too early frosts, and the picking of a good crop of cotton may be hindered by too frequent rain. Concerning average October weather, a Government bulletin says: "The normal October temper- ature is 10 to 15 degrees lower than that for September in most sections of the country, the most pronounced reductions being in the northern Great" Plains States and 'the more elevated western districts.

We noticed in the daily press the other day that Will Rogers, the fam- ous comedian, and the Prince of Wales had met and fraternized, and that Rogers paid the prince a com- pliment he, no doubt, appreciated in calling him "a regular guy." This reminds us of the 'story told by CharMe Clark of the High River (Al- berta) Times, as we were journey- ing across the Atlantic a few months ago. High River is the nearest town to the prince's ranch, and one day last fall he and his ranch manager dropped into the Times office. Th: prince sald to his manager, "Do we get this man's Paper?" "No," repMed the manager. "Well, we want it," said the prince, and straightway pro- duced a couple of iron men to pay a year's subscription in advance, Be- ing warmed by the prince's manner (in fact, all editors feel kindly to- wards a new subscriber) Charlie plucked wp courage enough to ine vite the prince up to his house for some liquid refreshment--which was straightway accepted.
