One of Memory's Pictures.

From the Arkansaw Traveler.l
am often tired, gloomy, miserable 1t is then
picture comes to me, picture that quiets my
mood, that soothes me like masterful, gentle
hand.
1t was on an afternoon late in October that
saw it. was driving in the country and stopped
at pretty brick farmhouse to inquire the way to
near village Nobody responding to my knock,
/ ran around to the back door. The yard was
swept as clean as a floor for quite space A wild
grapevine hung pcturesquey over the little back
porch, and on the stone doorstep sat fat, moth
erly-ooking old lady Smelling corn in her apron for
the chickens.
What an innocent, kind old face it was which
looked up at me! Involuntariy felt ashamed of
my distrust of humanity. What picture of con-
tentment, of lonely comfort was that A few
acknowledged chickens had crept under the fence
between the barnyard and garden and were
stretching their necks for any stray grain of corn
that might fall upon the ground. A light wind
shook the leaves in the orchard near by. Afar on
a hillside flock of white sheep cropped the late
grass, and the bell-wether kept up continual
tinkle as he moved about. And there in the
slanting golden sunlight, in her chocolate calico
gown, her checkered apron and her white 'kerchef
sat the little old mother. No distractng question
of the outer world tormented her.
She had never heard it limited that marriage was
failure.
She never dreamed that widower or widow
might not marry again without raising such ques-
ton as "'The Quick or the Dead
She accepted, like child, the creeds of her
church, and never heard of such doubts as were
the bane of Robert Elsmere's life. She knew a
little justa little-about tariff and protection,
and was republican because all her 'men folks"
were. What turkeys to kill for Thanksgiving,
which of the calves to wean and raise on skinned
milk, how many pairs of mittens to knit for
Christmas presents, and whether her old man
needed some new socks these werethe worst dis
tuIbers of her peaceful reflections.
Somehow the sight of her senced all the worry
and trouble and care in my heart.
To have passed over fe's journey for sixty
years, and still possess such peace, such honest
eyes, such unspoiled ways was possibility that
filled all my soul with thankfulness-wth hope.
The influence of the scene, the half smile in the
wrlnkled face, the lazy wind in the orchard, the
CLINT of warm sunlight, the very chickens, conf
dent of an early meal from the checkered apron
will be with me always.
Sweet, trustful, innocent old soul, possessing
what we all must have in order to enter the king
dom-the simplicity of child.

Letter to Pastors--Sabbath Observance De-
partment, N. w. C. T. u.

partment N. VIC. T. u.
HoNoRED BROTHER: We bring to your attention
from over the sea the eleventh annual circular of
the Worlds Sabbath Observance PRAYER Union,
the points of which are remarkably adapted to the
needs Of our own land. We present also as we
have done for four years, the request of our Ma
tional Womans Christian Temperance Union
through its Sabbath Observance Department, and
the request of other Sabbath associations in this
country, that you will kindly, heartily join with
Christian ministers the world around, in present.
ing the subject of Sabbath dissertation to your
people from the pulpit on the 9TH day of April,
and that the following week be observed as q week
of special prayer for the objects named in the
Worlds circular.
We take pleasure in saying that the American
Sabbath Union, organized in November last, by
representatives appointed by most of the leading
religious denominations of the country, and with
which it is expected all other will unite, at its an
nual meeting in December, adopted at our request
the recommendation in the following resolution:
"Ninth. That as the first week in April has for
many years past been observed as week of
special prayer in behalf of Sabbath observance,
we approve of such observance, and we recon-
mend, so far as consistent with other obligations,
that pastors preach upon the subject in connection
with that week."
We hope so far as possible every pulpit in the
land will respond to these united requests, and
that it may result in quickening of conscience
and purifying of Christian practice as well as the
suppression of much of the business, excursions
and amusements that now desecrate the day.
The following were among the other resolutions
by the American Sabbath Union:
'Fourth. That the Christian pulpit can never
fulfill its sacred functions without declaring fear
lessly the truth of God concerning the claims,
sanctties and obligations of the Sabbath.
eighth. That we lay upon the Christian con-
science the responsibility of personal example in
keeping the Lords day, especially by abstaning
from travel from the purchase and reading of Sun
day secular papers and from social entertainments
'Sixth That we endorse the petition for the
passage of NATIONAL Sunday Rest b'
The remarkable interest now felt throughout the
country in the suppression of Sabbath dissertation
by law, has already resulted in petition to con-
gress from ten millions of Professionals, and Cardi-
nal Gibbons for the Catholic church, against need
less Sunday work in government and Interstate
commerce. We must continue to pour in the petit
tions till we get the law
If your church has not already done so, will you
not present the petition April 7th, and obtain
vote of endorsement Petitions can be procured
free from the undersigned who has charge Of all
petitions by whomsoever gathered When filed
send them to "Petition Secretary, Temple Hotel,

TO SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.

DEAR BRoTHER-One of the resolutions of the
American Sabbath Union in session in Washington
last December reads
"We urge that more frequent and earnest atten-
ton be given to the instruction of children in Sab
bath observance"
Our Sabbath Observance Department, N. W. G.
I. IT, has had three different leaflets designed as
concert exercises for the Sunday school, to be used
in the opening exercises so as not to interfere with
the regular lesson of the day. They are entitled
''The Fourth Commandment" "Bibe Thoughts
About the Sabbath" and Grown of Days"
Will you not join with other schools throughout
the land in using one of these exercises on April
9TH, when the attention of churches is called to
the same subject.

vie with the great drectoire hats that are promised
to complete costume composed of skirt and coat,
immense as to pockets and collar long, wrnkled
gloves and a ong-handled umbrella, the said UNI
brella being carried at the very tip of its handle,
thereby resembling the long canes that few will
be venturesome enough to carry.
Accordion peated gowns are to be seen on all
sides. The prettiest are those of great green and
blue check, or rather plaid, and those of plain
cashmere. Everything, even to net, is to be
plated. Net and lace dresses are much affected
on the street in combination with seaskin jackets.
They are rather fetching. English girls are going
even further and are wearing lace dresses over
skirts trimmed on the bottom with fur. Tulle hats
audaciously appear occasionally. Inpoint of fact
it doesn't much matter what one wears in New
York. Everything seems to go.
People are not interested in your costume, let
them stare never so much. How they do stare,
men and women alike, till one feels that something
is wrong Perhaps ones hat looks like Jersey
to be from Jersey is to wish you were never born
but this is only way New York has. They are
ever fearful that something may escape, and one
soon learns the art of gazing, and are able at one
fell glance, to take in patent tips, russell overgalt
ers, lace gown tailor jacket, biarrtz gloves, bear
skin boa, velvet toque, scarf veil, and the yiolets
that nestle at the very wearers throat.

danced the happy hours away night after night.
His pedometer in his pocket, he walked about
as much as he observed the bellies doing, as they
danced every set, and 10, his pedometer registered
IA miles that evening.
So by obtaining from popular debutante as
nearly the exact number of dances she had at
tended as possible and allowing an average num-
Der of sets, by minute calculation he informed the
amazed girl that she had already danced 900 miles

THERE are forms of expression
which are probably heard in this city
every day in the week and are we'll
understood, but open to doubt.
Take for example the following:
"Mrs. Jones is stopping at the Grant
House." When will she step stop
ping? She can stop any number Of
times in going to that place, but she
manifestly comes to a halt when she
gets there. Stopping does not i'm
ply inaction, but denotes unfinished
action. A wheel is set in motion,
and when the motive power is be-
coming exhausted and the wheel
about to cease revolving. it is said to
be stopping, and when the last revo-
luton of the wheel is made. then it
is no longer stopping, but has
stopped. Language like the follow
ing is quite common: Mrs. A. has
been stopping at the house of Mrs.
B. the past week.
