she reckoned she knew where she
was ANYHOW. She hadn't got more
than twenty steps off, however, be-
fore a young man, who occupied a
seat directly behind the one she had

if a bombshell had HIT HIM. seized a
rustv-looking black valise from the
rack above his head, shot for the
door like a rockeJ-stick. jumped
down on the platform, and vocifer-
ousIv yelled, ''Sav, madam. you've
left your bag" The elderly female
turned around to look, but Just then
the train started, and the young
man, dropping the valise like a hot
potato, jumped aboard again and re-
Sumed his seat.
Presently there came in from she
smoking car ahead, a snuffy-looking
old man in a homespun suit and spec
tacles. "Now," SAID he, Il wonder
what's become of my valiSe?"
The young man felt fdgety, and
was suddenly attracted by the rare
beauty of the landscape without.
"Anybody seen valiSe that l left
IN this ere rack?" continued the man
in the homespun, anXiously.
The youth saw that he'd gone and
done 1t. There was no alternative
but to own up. "Why," said he,
'.was that you- valise? I thought
it belonged to the lady that got out
at the last station. She went off
and lift it. I ran after her with it. :"

reached the next telegraph station,

own such bag, nohow," and the

Rrought RH a Smile.

A London minister said to a friend
one Monday morning:
"Seven persons were received into
my church yesterday, and they were
all brought in by a smile"
Brought in by smile! what do
you mean?"
81 will explain. Several months
ago, as 1 passed certain house on
my way to church, saw, held in the
arms of its nurse, a beautiful infant,
and as it fixed It's large eyes on me
l smiled, and the sweet child return
ed the smile. The next Sabbath the
babe was again before the window,
and again | gave it a smile, and as
before it gave an answering smile.
The third Sabbath as l passed by
the window I threw the little one a
kiss; instantly its hand was extend
ed and kiss thrown back to me.
And so it came to pass that l leared
to watch for the baby on my way
to church, and, as the weeks went
by l noticed that the nurse and baby
were not alone; other members of
the household pressed to the window
to see the gentleman who always
had smile for the household pet.
"On Sabbath as I passed, two chill
dren, boy and a girl, stood at the
window beside the baby. That
morning the father and mother had
said to those children, Make YOUR
selves ready for church, for we think
that the gentleman who always
smiles to the baby is a minister, and
when he passes you may follow him
and see where he preaches.'
"The children were quite willing
to follow the suggestion of their
parents, and, after had passed, the
door opened, and the children step
ped upon the pavement and kept
near me from street to street until
entered my own church. where they
followed me, and seats were given
them.
"When they reached home, they
sought Jnelr parents, and exclaimed
eagerly, He is minister, and we
have found his church, and he
preached a beautiful sermon this
morning; you must go and hear him
next Sabbath To persuade the
parents was not difficult, and guided
by their children they found their
way to church. They, too, were
pleased, and other members of the
household were induced to come to
the house of God. God blessed to |
them my ministry, and seven men,
bers of this household have been led |
to give their hearts to Jesus, and !
unite with the people of God, and | |
repeat what | before said to you, |
they were all brought in by smile
'No one is too poor, too full of
labor and care, to give a smile and
a kind word. The loving Savior
makes use Of the means 50 simple to
bring souls into his kingdom"

Just the Difference.

A woman will take the smallest
drawer in bureau, for her private
use, and will pack away in it bright
bits of boxes of all shapes and sizes,
dainty fragments of ribbon, and
scraps of lace, foamy ruffies, velvet
things for the neck, bundles Of old
love letters, pieces of jewelry, hand
kerchiefs, fans, things that no man
knows the name of, all sorts of fresh
looking, bright little traps that you
could not catalogue in a column,
and any hour of the day or night
she can go to that drawer and pick
up any article she wants without dis
turbing anything else. Whereas a
man, having the biggest, deepest
and widest drawer assigned TO him,
will chuck into it three socks, a col
lar box, an old neck tie, two hand
kerchiefs, pipe and pair of sus-
penders, and to save his soul he can't
shut that drawer without leaving
more ends of things sticking out
than there are things in it, and it al
ways looks as though it had been
packed by hydraulic press.
