ture, a woman whose appetite con-
quered all other motives OF action, was
brought before a Chicago magistrate
for drunkenness. Clinging to her tat
tered gown were two children, boy
and a girl. the former only . years Of
age, but made prematurely old by the
hardship5 of his wretched life.
Five dollars and costs" said the
judge sternly. Seven dollars and sixty
cents in all.''
Instantly the little fellow started up.
and, taking his sisters arm, he cried
out, Come on. We's got to GIT that
money, or mamu hev to go TO jail.
Just walt, Mr.. Jedge, and We'll git it!''
The children hurried out of the court
room. and going from store To store
solicited contributions 10 keep man
from going to jail, - the boy brAveIy
promising every giver to return the
money as soon as he could earn It,.
Soon he came running back into the
court room, and, laying a handful of
small change on the magistrates desk
exclaimed:
There's two dollars, Mr.. Jedge,
and l can't git no more now. L amt
as big as man, and can't do as much
work; but if you'll jest let me 90 to
jail, stead o. her, I'll stay longer 10

The bystanders wiped their eyes,
and a policeman exclaimed, "Your
mother shan't 90 TO jail, my lad, II

judge, and the woman, clasping heI
boy in her arms, sank upon her knees
and solemnly vowed that she would

Do Your Best, Always

People will overlook mistakes in one
whom they see TO be thoroughly sin
cere and in earnest. So put your life
into even the smallest task, and the
doing of it will have powerful moral
influence upon others. Whether you
preach, study, sell goods, till the soil,
saw wood, clean lamps, cook food or
milk cows, do your best. There is 10
task so small, no honest occupation so
common or meniaI, that it cannot be
digniied and ennobled by the character
OF the doer. Bear III mind that NOT
one thing you do so much as the doing
reveals the character, the true man.
Everything you can do can be made
the revelation of great soul. L have
great respect for the German who saws
my wood and cleans my yard. He is
one of the few men I've ever known
who does everything In the best posi-
ble manner. lie has done this sort of
work for me for year, and constantly
improves. l know of barber who has
endeayored to make the best pessibla
barber and citizen. He has succeeded.
While no other barber in the city is
even thought OF as being worthy of any
consideration as citizen, this man is
thoroughly respected. He Is constantly
enlarging his shop and force, but
always has more than he can do.
There is perfect order in his place. Men
must act as gentlemen while there.
They find the best papers and maga
zlnes, but no police literature, nothing
a christian gentleman would not tak'
| Into the family rom. The barber /:
respected IN his church, is made ;
member OF the city council, las
