It was a strange thing for a man used to cities to go day upon day without seeing scarcely a village beside the sea, a single human being other than those of his own party. Here was one place, it seemed, that the hand of man had touched but lightly if at all. The impression grew the farther north he went. Ever there was less slgn of habitation upon the shore.

They couldn't cast it off with a phrase of cheap slang; demeaning it in order to hold firm to their own prilosophy of Belf, Here was something that shook their old attitude of self-love end self-sufficiency to Its foundations. They thought they knew life, these three; they thought they were blgger than life, that they had mastered It eand found it out and stripped all de- lusions from it, but now their unutter- able concelt, the pillar of thelr lives, was threatening to fall, This sunlit | sea was too big for them; oo big and too mighty and too old, Thetroubly with Ned's generation was that it was a godless generation; the same evil that razed Babylon to the dust. Ned and his kind had come to be sufficlent unto themselves, They had lost the wonder and fear of life, and that meant nothing less than the loss of their wonder and fear of the great Author of life. To these, life had been a game that they thought they had mastered. They bad laughed to scorn the philosophies that a hundred generations of nobler men had bullt up with wondering reverence, Made arrogant by luxury and ease, they knew of nothing too big for them, no mystery that their contemptuous gaze could not pene- trate, no wonder that their reckless hands could not unvell. They were drunk with their own glories, and the ultimate Source of all things had no place in their philosophies or their thoughts. Tt was true that churches flourished among them, that Charity received her due; but the old virile faith, the reverent wonder, the mighty urge that has achieved all things that have been worth achieving were cold and dead in their hearts. Rut out here in ' this little, wind- blown eraft, surrounded by an immen- sify of desolation beyond the power of their minds to grasp, it was hard to hold their old complacency. Their cld philosophies were barrenly insuffi- cient, and they couldn't repel an ever deepening sense of awe, The wind, sweeping over them out of the vast- ness, was a new voice striking the laughter from their lips and instilling a coldness that was almost fear in their warm, youthful blood. The sun shone now, but soon vast areas, not fce; never the movement of a wave, never the flash of.a sea-bird's wing over the wastes; and the thought sobered them und perhaps humbled them a little, too, Sometimes, alone on the deck at night, Ned was close +| which formed a column four miles i which carried thelr comrades into buttle nearly 60 years ago. ‘The Ohlo department formed the tieut, Massachusetts and New Jersey in the fourth, Autos at Milwaukee for Those Who Are Unable to Parade, Milwaukee, Sept. 5 ~Turping aside for the moment from the Bunset trall, Civil war veterans formed in lar marching order of the days 61 to '65 swung into line with feeble stride in the annual parade of the Grand -Army of the Republie to- day. moblles carrying those whose phyal. cal condition would not permit them to follow the flag on foot, wheeled in- | [itial post he was unable to find any|m to line, completing the nine divisions long.

Rosh Hashanah marks the be- ginning of a new year in a religlous sense only, It must (herefore not be confounded with the secular New Year since it is a day not to mark time but to register anew ligh re- solves of duty toward God and man, The religious conceptions and aa- pirations of the New Year's day and of the Day of Atonement which fol- lows ten days later were undoubtedly evolved in part after the time of Ezra, The lofty ideas which aro wssocliated with these holy days were gradually interwoven in various eras and under different influences. Rosh Hashanah falls on the first day of the seventh month in the He- brew calendar. This day "shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial proclaimed with the blasts of horns, a holy convocation,” as it is written in Leviticus 23.24. The rabbls have conceived the first day of the holy month of Tishri as a day of diwine judgment when God metes out to each his destiny In ac- cordance with his deeds as recorded in the Book of Life. The stirFing notes of the Shofar (ram’'s horn) sounded on this day call the congregation of Israel to repent and to improve their ways. The three blasts of the Shofar which tra- dition has fixed for the liturgy of the New Year proclaims three supreme conceptions of Judaism, namely, that God Is King of the world; that he is Judge who judges men and nations in righteousness according to their deeds and thoughts and that He is Ruler of history. The day of judgment is thus set by the Jewish religion in this life and not in an after-world, = The main purpose of the New Year is to render it a day of the renewal of the heart, 80 that man may put himself en rap- port with God who inhabits eternity. That the worshipper may restore his flagging faith in man and lift. the clouds of despondency that engulf him are among the many salutary purposes invoked on this holy day. Legend makes this the 5648th year since the creation of the world. Of greater importance than this myth is the quaint interpretation .of the New Year day by the rabbis who utilized to &u of water and lo say: “Whe U @ God ilke unto thee, that pardeneth iniquity passeth by the transgres slon of the remnant of His 1 He retaineth not His anger for evey because He delighteth in loving kind. ness. And Thou wilt cast all their #ins into the depths of the sea.

Everything would have been differ- ent if they had come in a larger boat, for instance, one of the great liners that plied between Seattle and An- chorage. In that case, likely they would have had no trouble in retain- ing their old point of view. The Lrooding tone of the North would have passed them by; the journey|’ cculd still have remained a holiday irstead of the strange, wandering dream that it was. The reason was simply that on a liner they:would not have broken all ties with their old life. There would have been games and dancing, the service of menials, social intercourse and all the super- til now composed their lives, Their former standards, the attitudes from which they regarded life, would have been unaltered. There would have been no isolation ,and thus no darken- ing of their moods, no haunting un- easiness that could not be named or described, no whispering voices heard Lut dimly out of the sea.
