MY friends. this text will come to fuIfll-
ment in come cases in this world. The
huntsnan in Farmsteen was shot by some
unknow person. Twenty years after the
son of the hunisman was in the same
forest, and he accidentally shot man,
and the man in dying said: "God is just ;
l shot your father just here twenty years
ago." A bishop said to Louis XII. Of
France: snake an iron cage for all those
who do not think as We do-an
iron cage in which the captive can neither
lie down nor stand straight up" 1t was
fashionetl-tie awful instrument of pun
ishment. After awhile the bishop Offend
ed Louis XII, and for fourteen years he
was in that same cage, and could neither
lie down nor stand up. 1t is poor rule
that will not work both ways.
With what measure 70 mete. it shall be
measured to You again.
Oh, my friends, let Us be resolved to
scold less and pray more. That which in

see the scribes of Heaven looking up
into the face of such a man, saying:

came upon Tong the same strange fear
that he knew when Tchi's eyes had first
met his own-the vague fear that love
and trust had Gained. but never wholly
cast out, like unto the fear of the gods.
And all unknowingly. like one yielding
to the pressure of mighty invisible hands,
he bowed himself low before her, kneel-
ing as to adivinity. Now when he lifted
his eyes again to her face, he closed them
forthwith in awe, for she lowered before
him taller than any mortal woman, and
there was glow about her as of sun
beams, and the light of her limbs shown
through her garments. But her sweet
voice came to him with all the tender
ness of other hours, saying; "Lo! my
beloved, the hour has come in which /
must leave thee; for was never of NOR
tai born, and the Invisible may incar-
nate themselves for the time only. Yet
leave with thee the pledge of our leve
the fair son who shall ever be to thee
as faithful and as fond as thou myself
has been. Know, my beloved, that was
sent TO thee even by the Master of
Heaven, in reward of thy filial piety, and
that l must now return to the glory of
His house, am the Goddess Tchi-Niu. :"
Even as she ceased to speak, the great
glow faded out; and Tong, re-opening
his eyes, knew that she had passed away
forever-mysteriously as pass the winds
OF heaven, irrevocably as the light of
flame blown out. Yet all the doors
were barred. all the windows unopened.
Still the child slept, smiling strangely
in his sleep. Outside the darkness was
breaking; the sky was Frightening
swiftly; the night was past. With
splendid majesty the east threw open
high gates of gold for the coming of the
sun; and illuminated by his coming, the
vapors of morning wrought themselves
into marvellous shapes of shifting colors
Into forms weirdly beautiful as the
silken dreams woven in the loom of
Tchi Niu. wallpapers Bazaar.

Indian household customs, says that
among the Sioux, when one family bor-

that when the Kettle is returned u small
portion of the food that has been cooked

ignate this remnant. "Should that GUS

An Eastern paper tells q curious
story in connection with Miss Annie
Pixley, the actress. Once when she was
playing in Idaho she wanted real live
baby to appear on the stage. She got
one from Maine-born woman living in
the Idaho town where the play was pro-
duced. The baby cooed and behaved
splendidly on the stage, and the rough
miners were nightly tickled. A dozen
years passed and the baby grew to be a
lovely miss. Recently the girl and her
parents visited Bangor and saw Miss
Pixley in the same play. The meeting
was mutually pleasant, and old times
and scenes in the West were gone over,
which kept the party in good humor for
several hours. Chicago Tribune.
