AN OLD FRIEND GONE.

Charles w. Sanders Is dead. Don't
know him. Nonsense Sanders
has made you weep, he has made
you laugh, be has kept you from
your play, and he has helped to
knock some ideas into that stupid
head of yours. 1t is base ingratitnde
to say that you do not know Sanders.
Think back a little. There was
the First, and the Second, and the
Third, and the Fourth, and the Fifth
readers, and they took you from the
time you were six till you we're six
teen to get through them. and San
ders' name was at the head of every
page. IS
How would one have known any
thing about the boy who saved the
dykes Of Holland, or the little match

give his sister drink of cold water
on the night before she passed over
the silent river, or the Industrious
boy who picked red raspberries and
took up the mortgage on his widow.

for Sanders? How few would be

OF you all could have told anything
sensible or rhythmical about the
(" Battle OF Blenheim," or "The
breaking waves dashed high" etc,
but for Sanders! Maaf ffs Hs
"The rose had been washed, just
washed in shower, which Mary to
Anna conveyed" Sanders told us
with the assistance of COwper.
And did Sanders hint that it was
the shower that conveyed Mary to
Anna, considered from grammati-
cal standpoint? He did not. He
showed himself man who could be
trusted. He had ideas, too, about
the functions Of the Imagination. He
thought the imagination should be
awakened. What, therefore, did he
do? Print thing like Hawthorne's
"Snow Maiden" or some sweet
fantasia of Hans Anderson Not

violets converse fuently with oaks

we're words that it was a positive
gymnastic exercise to pronounce, and
which we're looked upon with such
awe that they were carefully avoided
during the remainder of life. There
were moral sentiments so high that
even a Chautauquan could not OBJ
ject to them, and general directions
for climbing the hill of science, and
the rungs Of the ladder of fame, that
have been indelibly stamped upon
the memory.
And Sanders is dead-that guide,
and friend. What if he

Mrs. Ingalls, Social Ambition,

Washington Letter to Chicago Times.
The fact must be admitted that what
ever political mistakes may have been
made by Mr.. Cleveland, the social reign
was one which will compare with
any the country ever had. This
fact has stimulated the ladies
of the incoming administration to
Surpass their predecessors. l am told
that Mrs. ingalls, has considerable pride
to make her social presence prominent.
She is thoroughly in love with her hus-
band, whose ambition is we'll known,
and she has been forced to realize dur
ing the last four years that. notwith-
standing the acknowledged ability of
her occasionally erratic husband. she
has been tabooed to some extent.
The Cleveland episode has stood as
sort of barrier to Mrs. ingalls,. OF
course Senator Ingalls, will be one of
the favorites at the White House, and
his wife will share his triumph with no
small degree of pleasure. Mrs. ingalls,.
like Mrs. Morton, is domestic. She is
fond of her home and of her children.
If her husband were out of politics she
would no doubt prefer the quietude of
her own home. But now that she is in
the swim she will make an effort to
show to her countrywomen that she is
competent to fulfill the role.

was evident that the reporter would nos
get back his puzzle until the first of the
month. but thought he would wait until
invited In to supper-which invitation,
however, the hostess forgot to extend.
Inc room was warm, Mr.. DOnnelly hot
and the reporter, who had climbed up
on the safe to avoid any disturbance on
the floor, was dying. The pigs were as
gay and chipper as ever so much so that
with one sudden howl of disgust the
wrathy sage missed the reporters head
with blow calculated to kill, dashed
Out into the kitchen and kicked
stomach of the flour barrel. The re-
porter had thus time to pick the pigs
up from the floor and make his escape,
satisfying an unmannerly bulldog on
his way out of the front yard gate. The
reporter rushed down Wabasha street
and broke into restaurant, Topped

gauntlet, he entered the sanctum OF

him just enough time to be in waiting
for the pig puzzle. He was shown tho

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY.

One of the needs of the times is more
of the practical, Christ-imitatihg ele-
ment among those who lay special
claim to the name of the Master. Not
that there is less of this than in times
past. 1t is believed that there has been
no period in the past eighteen centuries
when there was less enforcement of
religion from philanthropy and human
needs than at present, and the elarge-
ment of the practical conception is
striking and continuous. There is less
concern than in the other times about
creedS and dOgmaS, and more kindly
reaching out for the wayward brother
and neighbor. 1t is coming to be sus-
pected that it was not very grave mis-
fortune to the ancient Hebrew that the
torches of his theology dimmed to
shadowy fitting at the dark river and
fully lighted only the paths to it. A
religion that lifts the posSessor and puts
out warm hand to raise others to the
plane of noble, rightly poised and I'M
blemished life in this world need have
small concern about the conditions
when another existence opens up to the
soul.
An incident of recent occurrence in
one of the larger cities of the West. the
name of which may be left to surmise,
suggests practical thought in this con-
nection. In one of the advanced de-
partments of the public schools it was
discovered that young girl, who was
notably modest, quiet. StudiOuS and ir-
reproachable in all her ways, was so
unfortunate as to have mother who
had In earlier years wandered from the
| path of rectitude, but.under some saint
ly influence, turned from the ways of
sin, and had for years lived an exem-
plary life. Only that which is pure and
womanly had touched the daughters
life, and the mother gave no cause for
reproach in her present life. The an
| cient taint came to the knowledge of the
| principal and his subordinates, and
| when they went into session over the
case they did not open their Testaments
to the memorable interview of the Mas
ter w ith an erring woman,who He re-
fused to ostracize, but only bade her sin
no more. These good educators of

grave over which the flowers of
purity and righteousness were begin
| ming to bloom. Amid the delicate per-
| fume of their own consciousness of
super-Christness they dissected the ex-
humed nauseouSness. and resolved that
| the wrong of the misled mother must
victlmize the untainted child. Her
young lady associates were instructed
to give her the cold shoulder, and make
her realize that she could have no social
relations with her mates. She was to
be treated as a pariah, and frozen out
of the school if possible. There was no
legal way of exclusion, as no regula-

a Of fortune doth not ever flow

The sea Of fortune doth not ever flow;
She draws her favors to the lowest ebb;
Her tides have equal time to come and go:
Her loom doth weave the fine and coarsest
web;
No joy so great but runneth to an end,
No hap SO hard but may in fine amend.
Not always fall of leaf, nor even Spring,
Not endless night, yet not eternal day;
The saddest birds season find to sing,
The toughest storms calm may soon allay.
Thus, with succeeding turns, God tempereth

That man may hope to rise, yet fear to fall.
A chance may win that by mischance was

A net that holds no great, takes little fish :

ing to get in, he tore his whiskers and
pounded the desk with his fists. The
reporter, mistaking one of the execu-
tive glances for timely warning to

ing the puzzle where it was subsequent
