is impossible to realize that only few
years farther back there was such
place in the center Of the city as the Five
Points. Nowadays it does not take I'M
usual courage for a moderately athletic
man TO walk alone in broad daylight
through any public street in the city.
Then it was not safe TO do so, and even
policemen rarely ventured alone after
dark into the region known by the old
name. Now the horse cars run through
the center Of it. Broad streets have been
cut through, and old buildings replaced
with new. Factories and stores stand
where were formerly tumble down rock
cries, that had stood since the last cen
fury, and that were swarming with the
most degraded poor and the most despe--
ate criminals. When the Rev. W. c. Van
Meter, with few friends as earnest and
determined as himself, first started a
mission school within the borders of this
valley Of the shadow of crime, he was
repeatedly warned by the police of the
dangers he incurred, and it was some
time after the work was started before
he dared to take, even under escort, in
the middle of the day, the ladies who
were anxious to aid by teaching in the
school II seems now like q story of a
foreign land and another age, but I saw
In 1854 OF 1855 a party Of a dozen ladies
and gentlemen mobbed as they started
homeward from the school one Sunday
noon, hustled into the street and assailed
with voIleys Of obscene oaths and rotten
vegetables, and 50 beset by q horde of
half drunken men and women that they
we're glad to escape with whole bones
and ruined garments. And the police
seemed powerless TO prevent or punish
such outrages, for this was no unusual
occurrence.
The region about what is now Paradise
square, for the distance Of a couple Of
blocks in every direction, was honey
combed with blind alleys and secret pas
sages, some Of them running under
ground from one block 70 another. II
was city OF refuge for criminals, ana,
though they waTred and preyed upon
one another with entire lawlessness, they
combined as a unit 70 protect any one
among them from the processes Of the
law. Aside from the criminals the pop
ulation consisted almost entirely, if not
quite 50. Of the poverty stricken, for
dire poverty and desperate crime then,
as very often in history, went hand IN
hand.
The children, who were coaxed one by
one into the mission schoolrOoln, were
crowd Of little savagcs. Their ignor-
ance was something amazing. Il was
not very uncommon to find among them
boys and girls Of 6 or ! years old who

FROM BETHLEHEM TO NAZARETH.

From out the golden doors Of dawn
The wise men came, Of wondrous thought,
Who knew the stars. From far upon
The shoreless east they kneeling brought
Their costly gifts Of inwrought gems and gold,
While. cloudike, incense from their presence
rolled
Their sweets Of flower fields, their sweet
DistiIlI1ents Of most sacred leaves,
They laid, low bending at his feet,
As reapers bend above their sheaves-
As strong armed reapers bending, clanorous,
To give their gathered full sheaves kneeling thus
And kneeling so, they spabe Of when
God walked his gardens fragrant sod,
Nor yet had hid his face from men,
Nor yet had man forgotten God
They spalze. But Mary kept her thought apart
And, silent. 'pondered all things IN her heart"
They spa<e, 10 whispers long, they laid
Their shaggy heads together, drew
Some stained scrolls breathless forth, then made
Such speech as only wise men knew
Their high red cames on the huge hill set
Outstanding. like some night-heWn silhouette.

Where He has gone apart 70 pray;

Beyond the corn. beyond the waking town.
Beyond the silver'd mists that rise
From all night toIling 10 the corn,

The skies have duties down the morn,
While oil the world Is full Of earnest care
To make the fair world still more wondrous fair
More lordy fair; the stately morn
Moves down her walks Of golden wheat,
Her guards Of honor Rild the corn
In golden pathway for Gods feet;
Her purpled hills she crowns in crowns Of gold
And majesty before the Lord is rolled

Lost Their Faith in signs.

From the Chicago Times.
Two ~wcll-known Chicago business men
are not as stIpcrstitious now AS they were
"a week ago. One Of them is "a banker
whose office is not 1,OOO miles from Dear
horn street. The other gentleman is u
real estate dealer. Both live on the north
side and are near neiRhbors, and each of
them has a pet superstition of his OWN, AS
n great many people are known to have.
The real estate man generally calls for
the banker and they go down town to-
gethcr. The other morning as the real
estate man opened his door a cat rushed
into the vestibule from the steps. Now.
he has always regarded the appearance OF
a sign of good luck. So Mr.. Real Estate
chuckled tn himself and imagined that he
was going to have great fortune that

back To his servants tn allow the feline tn

car ON the way down they shook hands
with each other ON their prospective

the morning. But alas for human exVs-c

clated that he did not see "a man-hole opsr
i'm the street, which some careless sewer
cleaners had neglected to close. He step
