A Wild PANIC
0ccasioned at a Salvation Army
Meeting
At Huntington---A Narrow Escape From
Serious Loss of
Life.

During q large meeting OF the Saliva
ton Army. at Huntington, last Tuesday,
some miscreant outside threw a number Of
stones upon the roof, which caused q sound
as of cracking timbers and falling walls.
Then snsued one of those wild, senseless
stampedes which demonstrated that self
preservation is the first law of nature.
The lords of creation, many of them leav.
ing their wives, sisters and swesthearts to
take care of themselves, made wild dashes
for life and liberty through the windows
without taking the trouble to raise the
sashes. The SCATTERING of glass, the
screaming Of women and the trampling Of
feet created q most Internal tumult, seem.
ing for a time to turn the rink into q howl
ing wilderness of lunatics. The building
was nearly emptied before the people re
covered their senses and discovered the
groundlessness Of their alarm. Fortunately
nobody was seriously injured in the scram
bic, and the list OF minor casualties is not
long.

rather have mamma look at him just now
than God, for Aunt Annie had told him
how great and good God is, and how an
cry he is when we do wrong. But she
also said that God loves u.s. and if we are
sorry for our sins and tell him so he will
forgive us and help us to do right.
Very quietly he sat there on the step
with the bright sunshine streaming all
about him. Occasionally tear dropped
before him, but he did not notice this
only thought was, Thou God seest me.
Should he tell God he was sorry and ask
his forgiveness At last he rose slowly
from his seat and slipped noiselessly
through the hall, past the sitting room
door, where Aunt Annie still sat sewing,
having forgotten for the time being the
naughty little boy who had caused her
80 much trouble. Up the stairs he went
to his own little room, closing the door
softly behind him. He knelt down by
the bed, and, in broken sentences, asked
our heavenly Father to forgive him and
make him better boy, and then after a
pause he added in whisper, Dear God,
will you please tell my dear mamma up
in heaven how sorry am and aOiU try
to be good and remember my promise
An hour later Aunt Annie CHANGED to
look into his room, and there she saw the
boyish form curled up on the floor with
the little shaven head pillowed on his
arms-fast asleep. AS she stopped over
him she saw tear still undried on the
sun-burnt cheek, which deeply touched
her loving heart, and she took him in her
arms and kissed him softlv
AS he opened his eyes, he said, Did
God tell you, TOO, auntie? told him to
tell mamma l was sorry, but did not
know he would tell you, too. think he
is very good God to do so much more
than ask him to-
My dear little boy, said Aunt Annie,
tenderly, always remember that our
dear heavenly Father is ever willing to
forgive US, and he always gives us much
more than we think of asking if we try
with all our hearts to do what will best
please him. '-&andard.

What Would Jesus Do?

was walking along narrow dirty
street in large town some thirty years
ago, when l saw crowd of boys and girls
laughing and jeering at an old man who
was feebly tottering along, leaning on a
thick stick for support had Just made
my way through the crowd, when poor,
thin, Unlocking boy, stepped from 1t, and
going up to the old man took piece OF
paper off his back, on which was written:
" Who'll bid for the saint?" He had no
sooner done this than rough lad caught
him by the arm, saying, Hullo, sneak,
you'll get something for that When
their leader uttered these words, several
other lads came up and Joined him in
tormenting the poor boy.
l then went up and made them leave
him alone, while took his hand and
commended his conduct in taking the
paper off the old mans back. "Sir, do
you know what made me do it ?" he asked.
" No, what was it?' asked, carelessly
Well, sir, that old man they calls him
Saint Willie; he comes to our house
every week to read and talk to mother.
One day he come he said to me, after tell
ing me ali about Jesus, If ever you re
a-going to do anything that amt right,
say to yourself, What would Jesus do?
and he'd always do right, then you do it,;
and that's what made me do it" he said
trlumphantly.
If every reader of this little story
would ask themselves whenever they
are in a difficulty as to what they should
do, or going to do anything wrong,
" What would Jesus do?' they would
find it would be a great help to them in
their daily life.

How Sorry was Sue il?

Every day when Bridget went down to
her meals mamma had the care of baby
Rob, two years old last June. But one
day man came to see about painting the
house, and mamma had to 90 down and
talk TO him good while. "Sue," said
mamma to her little seven year old
daughter, look after Rob while l am
downstairs, and don't let him get into
any mischief
m" said Sue, and she laid down
her book of fairy tales, and came over to
the rug where the little fellow was build
ing block houses. But mamma stayed
and stsyed-at least Sue thought it very
long, so after while she slipped back to
the big rockingham, and opened the
book. "I'll only read few sentences, E"
she said to herself, but in FIVE minutes she
had forgotten her mothers words, and
was off with Ethel and her dolls in fairy
land.
Meantime small Rob found the time
long too. He got tired of his blocks and
began to trot around on his little bare
feet to find something else to play with.
Round and round the nursery he
prowled without finding any fun. All
there was crack in the door leading into
mammals room. Two little fingers were
poked into the crack and the door swung
open with creak, creak, as much as to
say, Look here, Sue
But Sue was deaf to the doors warn
ing and Rob toddled into the pretty
pink-and- blue room, and looked around
to see what he could get. He opened the
doors Of The washstand by pulling at the
gilt knobs, and there he found mamma
shoe-polish.
"I b1ieve I'll back my toots, sale

with his bright brow, his beautiful blue
eyes, his rosy cheeks, his pearly teeth,
and ruby lips, the perfect picture of lite,
peace and innocence as l looked upon
the man, and then upon the child, and
felt his little hand convulsively witch
ing in mine, and saw his little lips grow
white. and his eyes dim, gazing upon the
poor victim of that terrible curse of our
Ian i-strong drink. Then did I pray to
God to give me an everlasting increasing
capacity to hate with burning hatred

such thing OF being once as fair as that
child"

A Benevolent Old Man.

Just as evening was closing in, curly
headed little boy was standing on t!ptoe
on the door step of house in Chelsea,
trying to reach the door bell Just then
a benevolent old man passed along. He
paused, and, with kindly smile, patted
the boy on the head.
MY son, that door bell is little be-
yond your reach, isn't it p
Yeth, thir."
All continued the old gentleman,
musingly, it is a fit symbol of the striv-
ing of youth after the unattainable. How
often in this world the. thing we desire
most is beyond our grasp And when
aft r continued effort we have secured the
object OF our ambition, how often we find
that it is not worth what it has cost My
little man, am taller than you. Shall
I ring the bell for your"
eff you want TO, replied the boy,
looking at him out of the corners of his
roguish eyes.
With another fatherly emile, the old
gentleman gave the the bell handle a
vigorous pull WHAT was the amazement
to see the boy jump from the steps and
slide around the corner with the words
" You'd better hurry up now, or they
will be after you ]"
The boy had scarcely disappeared
when an upper window opened, and the
contents Of bowl of water descended on
the old man, accompanied with the
words
Take that for your impudence T.
There is one man In Chelsea who thinks
he will not help any more little boys pull
their neighbors' door bells-at least until
after he has asked few questions.

" Kangarooing .

Kangarooing is the most interesting
sport in Australia. It is one of the most
exciting sports in the world. Large
meets are organized, parties of from
twenty to thirty joining in these hunts.
They ride to the kangaroo grounds, and
as soon as one is sighted the two dogs are
released and the horses are given their
heads. If the Australian horse is we'll
upin his business, and if you let him take
you instead of you trying to take him, he
will carry you safely, avoiding the trees
and underbrush. A good, strong kan
CARGO will give you long chase, and very
often the dogs cannot follow him. In this
case, when the horseman gets up to the
kangaroo he takes off his stirrups and
strap and knocks the animal over the
head, which efectually stuns him. He
is then killed and skinned. The hind
quarters are given to the dogs. Yet, it
is good enough eating, but too strong to
be palatable to those of delicate taste.
The tail, on the contrary, is considered
by epicures to be delicious when made
into soup. The average size of kan
CARGO is about four and half feet high,
but the Z" old man" kangaroo is often six
feet high, and is very fierce when corner
ed, and is known to have ripped men
open with single blow from one Of his
hind legs.

Senator Stanford's Parrot.

Senator Stanford has a parrot, and
remarkable one, too. 1t cost him several
hundred dollars, and Is a wonderfully
educated bird. 1t speaks four languages
English. French, German, and Italian.
The strange part of it is that the parrot,
as soon as he hears any one speak, knows
in what language to address the person.
For long while no one knew that the
parrot spoke Italian, until one day an
Italian artist came to the house to do
some work, and the parrot heard him
talk. At once the bird started off to
sbber Italian, and had quite a converse
tion with the man. 1t always talks Ger
man to German servant and French to
the maid. The parrot, when any one
comes down in the morning, says: Good
morning. l hope you rested we'll" He
is very particular, and one day when a
stranger went up to him and said ::
Pretty Polly Polly want cracker ?"
he quite astonished the person by saying:
90, stop that foolishness. Cant you
talk sense? I'm tired of that rot" The
parrot has not learned to say chestnuts
yet, but very often, when asked if he
wants cracker, says: That's old give
me something new" He longs to sing,
and knows " Peek. a-boo," and chants it
loudly at times, to the amusement of all
in hearing. The parrot has it's favorites
among the inmates of the Stanford
residence, and will talk for hours with
american
We must cay that we think this is pretty
hard story.-EDs Cen. PRES
