He sang thus one day lately:
fCome home, come home;
You are weary at haaat:
For the way has been dark,
And so lonely and Wild.
Oh, prodigal childf

He had sung only one or two lines before
he melted the hearts that the preacher had
warmed. There arose woman's wild, hys-

Now, perhaps that hysterical woman, after
fighting desperately against sin, had been led

provide honest work and elevatlng surround

Reasons for Going Abroad.

There are many men who waste all
their estates to gaze upon the estates of
others, and then think they have made
a good bargain. 1t is useless t. tell
such men that we have fine scenery and
noble cities in our own country. Even a
journey across the continent, so fire.
quently recommended to those who go
about seeking some new thing, does not
satisfy people who want amusement.
Even the minor matter of eating and
drinking is a grievance with the
pleasure-seeker who says he cannot en-
Joy travel in our own country. He SAYS
it is not by any means a minor affair.
Perhaps he cannot take in the beauties
of the Alleghanies while he is trying to
digest blazing hot dinner, bolted in ten
minutes Mt Altoona. Perhaps he is I'M
fitted to absorb the loneliness o. New
port beach when he reflects what great
price he pays for miraculous display of
little dabs of cooked stuff spread before
him three times a day by an unwhole-
some and naughty waiter. Or, if he
fancies he might enjoy Southern win
ter, he reflects with terror on the fried
pork and corn dodger which will well
come him at every table from the Ohio
river to the Gulf of Mexico. The trav-
eler knows that the Latin race has some
how preserved the art of cookery.-N
