a just equivalent for the work done In the times
I'm which live. But, alas! he failed to
hint ut Christian duty IN the direction Of the great cry
ing devouring evil which Is swallowing up the wages
earned. debauchng the themselves and render

by many OF the wOuldbe Labor reform leaders and II
to Judge by Dr. Parkhursts sermon. no account Is
taken OF ii by the wealthy Prcsbytcrians OF Newi0rk,

Give Dr. Parkhurs his four large Presbyterian churches

LOVE AN ELEVATOR.
A Match That vas Made BY the
stopping OF Machinery.

Promptly AT half-past IL on week days a
bevy of fair maidens cease their monoton-
Gus ''helloI hello!' in the telephone office
on the fourth floor of the city hall, don
their hats and outer wraps and sally forth
into the hall, there to await the arrival of
the elevator from below. says the Minnea-
polls Tribune. One would think that these
misses use their tongues to such an extent
while at work that they would be glad to
give them rest during the noon hour. but
their ceaseleSS chatter in the elevator dis
proves that notion.
A story is told of young man who, be-
holding the charms of dear little ''hellO"
during one of his midday rides in the ele
vator. at once fell desperately in love with
the d. ]. h. aforesaid. and thereafter he was
always to be found in the elevator at II
o'clock. The young lady took no notice of
the many fond glances cast at her by her
admirer, and the love-lorn youth was in
despair; but one day, while midway be-
tween the third and second floors, the old
elevator, probably sympathizng with the
poor fellow, stopped and refused to go
further.
For half an hour were they stuck there,
but finally the machinery was fixed and the
prisoners were released. But during that
brief interval the ice had been broken and
the mischief done. The speaking acquain-
lance gained that day ripened into friend
ship, and friendship into love. and the
young lady finally left the hello business TO
go into life partnership with her persist
eDt admirer.
