Į After examining the circumstances. of his early life and the forces that determined the development of his character during boyhood, one of which was the fact that he was both of Calvinist stock, the lecturer proceeded to another phase of his life, which began from the point when his father became involved in a quarrel that necessitated his re- C.moval from a city that could

TWO MEN ANSWER THREE
CHARGES EACH.
Three charges-possession of 3.3 taels of prepared opium, keeping the first floor of 84; Laichikok Road na an opium divan, and of preparing opium-were brought against two Chinese before Mr. Whyte-Smith yesterday. To all the charges, the first defendant pleaded not guilty while the second man admitted the offence.
In the witness hox, R. O. Young stated that when the raid was car ried out on the premises, the first defendant was found supervising the boiling of opium, and said that he was in charge of the premises. The second man, who appeared on the scene later, said that he had gone there to smoke. Later, he took full responsibility, saying that he was the master of the floor, and the first defendant his foki.
The magistrale then remarked that he bad better hear the evidence, ng he did not see why the two men should be allowed to arrange be- tween themselves as to who should be convicted.
After evidence was taken, the men were each fined $100 or month's hard labour on each count.

After one set all had been called, Redmond and Sullivan began to show up strongly and at 4-3 in their favour, they appeared good enough to take the set, but the former fell off at this important stage, and although he saved the set when 4-5 down by winning his service game, the Chinese immediately forced the pace to secure the set at 7-5 After that the winners had matters much their own way; and took the fourth set comfortably.

The audience was transported in Mspirit to the subsequent vicissitudes and contrasted experiences of Rous- seau which were destined to teach him lessons that he was later to proclaim in letters of fire to a Europe stultified and poisoned by civilization.
