an active worker in her own church,
and participant In the cooperative
activities that now engage the SER

gelical denominations. In her new
place of residence she had. from one
cause and another, failed to identity
herself fully with The work of Christ.
Still maintaining the forms of per.
sonal devotion, she had isolated her.
self from the working forces OF the
church. No longer keeping In the
current of Christian activity, she
found herself spiritually stranded.

When Your Heads Cut oil.

In the second part of his interest.
ing volume, which treats of the de.
capitation of human beings. Doctor
Love. relates the following strange
story, taken from the archives of the
Austrian Police Office, and relating
to an execution said to have taken
place in Vienna in 1880: A we'll
known bandit named Schayenburg
was caught. together with four of
his associates, and they were all con-
demned to death. They were all
ready on their knees, ready to SUBJ
NIT to their fate. when Schayenburg
addressed the Judge, asking that his
four companions might be ranged in
single file in front of him, at q dis
lance of eight feet from each other.
"If," he said ''after am beheaded, I
get up and walk up to the first of my
comrades. will you pardon him ?"
The Judge thought he was pretty
safe In complying with the request.
"But If I walk up to the second, the
third and the fourth, will you par.
don them also ?" The Judge replied
that he would obtain their pardon
from the Emperor. The partisan
was satisfied. bent his head. received
the mortal blow, and his head rolled
down. But. to the great surprise of
the Judge and the spectators, the
body got up. walked alone. Lassed
the first. second. third and fourth of
the condemned men and fell down.
The occurrence was told to the EN-
peror, who pardoned the four crimi-
nals.-PdU Mall Gazette.

A I'r0ut's Gratitude.

"a man named Hicks, who lives
out in the hills of Arkansas, has on
his farm beautiful stream" says a
writer in the amateur Sportsman.
HE attempted to stock it with trout
but soon discovered the water was
too warm. Not discouraged, he pro-
ceeded to cool the water. He started
ar ice factory, and every morning
during the summer he deposits ice
in the pools. Well, sir, it would
tickle you to see the fish. When a
wagon draws up to a pool the driver
yells Ice y and the fish come flying
out from under the rocks. They get
up on the ice and carry on in a per-
feet flutter of glee. Beats anything
1 ever saw.
"You know Hicks. do you ?"
"Kncw him? Why. he doesn't
live more than two miles from my
place."
"Does he allow ANYBODY to catch
the trout ?"
she will give you all you can
catch with a hook"

but Hicks"

"What ?"

has done for them. Why. sir, he can
pull them out as fast as he can throw

What Saved Him.

What Saved Him.
One Christmas morning. many
years ago. a young reporter on a
daily paper had occasion to call with
message at the Office of one of the
foremost editors and publishers in
the country.
The younger man was sicklv
country lad of keen sensibility and
nervous temperament, who, finding
himself homeless and friendless in a
great city, had yielded to temptation,
and chad fallen into the habit of
drinking and gambling. The pub
Usher, as he listened to the message,
noted the lines which dissipation had
already left on the boys face. He
was a man who made it his work in
the world to help others. No man
touched his hand in passing who did
not gain from him new courage and
hope in life.
He answered the message which
the reporter brought, and then, hold
ing out his hand cordially, said, "Let
me wish you merry Christmas, my
lad" He took from shelf a book,
containing sketches of the lives of
the greatest English. French and
German authors, with extracts from
their works,
"Here." said he, fare some friends
for the new year. When you spend
an hour with them, you will have
noble company"
The surprise of the gift and the
unexpected kindness from the man
whom he regarded with awe had a
powerful effect upon the lad. He
spent all of his leisure porting over
the book. 1t kindled his latent
scholarly tastes. He saved his money
to buy the complete works first OF
this author and then of that; he
worked harder to earn more money
to buy them. After a few years he
began to gather and to study rare and
curious books, and to write short
papers upon obscure literary subjects.
Men of similar tastes sought him
out; he numbered some of the fore.
most scholars and thinkers of the
country among his friends, but he
never forgot the lonely, friendless
lad who had been sinking into q
gambler and drunkard until kind
hand drew him back, and he in hi:
turn sought out other lonely. friend
less boys in the great city. and gave
them helpful hand out of the gulf
So, year by year, his life widenec
and deepened into strong current
from which many drew comfort and
help.
He died last winter. The sale O
his library gathered all the collectors
of rare books in the seaboard cities
During his illness the newspaper
spoke of him with a sudden appre
citation of the worth which had sc
long been hid in obscurity.
"a profound scholar. with thu
heart of child >" IA journalist WHIT
never wrote word to subserve 6
base end" they said. He read these
eulogies with a quiet smile. The
actor who has left the stage forever
cares little for the faint plaudits OF
the crowd in the distance.
One day he put into the hands of q
friend an old. dingy volume. "When
l am gone" he said. "take this tC
Mr.. -, and tell him whatever Of
good or usefulness there has been in
my life, I owe to him. and this
Christmas gift of his thirty years
ago."
The little story is absolutely true.
We venture to tell it because there is
no one living whom it can hurt,
while there are many whom it may
help to hold out friendly hands to
their brothers who have stumbled
into darker paths in life than they
