A man who probably considers him- self fairly “fit,” as most men do, and , who should, therefore have no cause to ' w'orr y, hands us the following query : Dear Mr. Editor, _ Not wishing to make any “little rift 'within the into,” I Would still like to ask you a question. To me it seems that ‘ the law of the survival of the fittest runs throughout nature. Some trees are ‘strun-gerand lusticr than others, hence . er ones. . the animal world. Nor is there a might- ,ier force to befouu-d in the develop- ment of man. Man has reached his pres- . out high development through effort, competition, strife. Here's the ques- tion: ‘By what more system of philos- ophy-socialism or any other ible to eliminate so tremendous a force that isinhereut in the very nature of things? TIPPERARY. We do not know of any “ new system of philosophy,” Mr. Tipperary, that ad- vocath the elimination of what is known as the survival of the fittest. A great by that word "fittest." If only phys- , ical fitness is meant, then there is, with- ' out doubt, “ a mightier force to be found in the development of man”-â€"â€"not man the animal, so called, you understand, but MAN. Man is in a. class by himself. He is not to be compared to the beasts “ that perish, for he is not one ofthem, unless he makes himself one, which, In the forest, in the sea, in the jungle and in the hog pen the survival of the physically fittest is, and always has been, the mightiest force known. So it was, possibly, with man before we have we do know, that, as far back as the au- thentic records go, we find a stronger force at work than- physical fitness. It was not through- physical fitness that Noah and his family survived. It was not through any especial physical fitness that the israclitcs came to be what they are to-dayâ€"thc dominant race of the earth. In the early days of their history the Egyptians, the Canaanitcs, the Amal- il {_ altitosundi various other itcs were phys- , ically fitter than the Israelites, but they ' did not survive, because they that greater forceâ€"the force of moral ' fitness. In those days it was moral lit- mess that counted, and any community 3' that did not keep up to the proper stau- "da.rd of- moral fitnessâ€"well you can read ' it up for yourself. And if it had not been. for the occurrences of some two thousand years ago, the tribe of Israel ‘would be yet receiving an occasional ' wholesale moral housecleaning. Since that time, however, (the morally unfit have not been wiped-golf- the face of the earth. They have been allowed to re- main 11nd have another chance to be good. much moral- unlitness to-day. it is no longer the fittest man in any sense of word that survives, it is the fittest bank account. Men are only tools for the making still bigger of those big accounts 3 at the expense of smaller ones' And the big accounts are acquired, in a great many instances, by inheritance, chance 4 or dishonesty, and not by any pretence at either meal or physical fitness. ’l‘heref‘ore, Tip, old boy, sit close to that little bank account of yours, for if one of the big kind ever sees it, you will wonder-where it's gone. Decoration Services. The annual church parade and decora- ratiou services of Trent Valley Lodge No. 71, Canadian Order of Oddfellows, ‘ .. was held on Sunday last, a large number . of brethren participating. St. Andrew‘s church was. attended in the morning, when the pastor, the Rev. C. S. Lord, preached a‘vcry able and appropriate sermon, which was much appreciated by all present. " The text was from 1 Cor- inthians, iii : 13: ; “ Watch ye; stand fast in the faith; quit you like men; be strong." Mrs. Stoddard, of Victoria llarbor, contributed a beautifully ren- dcrod solo at this service, in her oldâ€" time excellent voice. 111 the afternoon the brethren asscm- - bled in their lodge room at 2 p. m, and ' marched to the cemetery, carrying bou- quets which, after the impressive dcco- ' ration serviceof the Order was finished, Iwere placed on the graves of the six de- parted brethren who are buried there, as follows :: James Henry Palmer, died August .‘let, 1895, aged 40 years. George N.. Brokonshire, died March. ' 3rd, 1903, aged 33 years. _ Johnlfrcderick Var-coo, died April 5th, ' 196-3, aged 26 yea-rs. Samuel Delbert Barr, died March 10th, 3906;.agec1'38;years..

About 3 o’clock on Tuesday morning, during a very severe thunder storm, the Grand Trunk Railway station at Coho- conk was struck by lightning and burn- ed. to the ground.

Within a very short tune after the . it could not be entered, and practically everything was lost, except what house- hold effects were in the rooms down stairs. All the books and papers in the office were lost; and an unusually large- . amount of Luggage belonging to a party ' of tourists who had arrived on the night train on Monday, and which was in the baggage room adjoining the oliice, was also destroyed. Much sympathy is ex- pressed for the tourists, who will be : greatly inconvenienced by their loss, as well as for Mr. and Mrs. Adams, who had no insurance on their furniture and oth- er effects.
