would have been trutr if some little
torment had been introduced to worry
the rest and discourage the teacher
just in front of whom stands a sweet
ing OH chair back and
her earnest eyes fixed on the teachers
face. Another one sits with her ironed
foot and her crutch beside her, perhaps
wondering why the lovely teacher must
have everything, even to lovely satin
lined Sealskin hanging over her chair.
On the wall are the magic words, ''In
His Name" Some say, 'Why, she
doesn't look kings daughter. | don't
see what it means.'' Yet that simple
organization. the members of which
you may know by their helpful faces
and tiny Maltese crosses, are one OF the
mIghtiest forces of this wonderful CEN
fury. Their motto has world of mean

Look up and not down:
Look forward and not back:
Look out and not in:
Lend a hand.
Looking at the picture, I recalled
these beautiful lines, which are particu-
larry apprOpriate:
Her Father sent her in His land to dwell,
Giving to her work that must be done;
ana, since the King loves all His people well.
Therefore she too, cares for them, every
one.
And when she stoops to lift from want
and sin,
The brighter shines her royalty therein.
She walks erect through dangers manifold,
While many sink and fall on either hand;
she breads not summers heat nor winters
cold,
For both are subject to the Kings COM
mand.
She need not be afraid of anything,
Because she is Daughter of the Ring.
Fen when the angel comes whom men call
Death,
And name with terror, it appalls not her.
She turns to welcome him with quickened
breath,
Thinking it is the royal messenger;
Her heart rejoices that her Faith er calls
Her back to dwell within His palace walls.
For though the land she dwells in is most
Set round with streams, picture in its
frame,
Yet often in her heart deep longings are
For that imperial palace whence she came:
Not perfect quite seems any earthly thing
Because she is a Daughter of the King.
The subject is worthy of stronger
treatment, though the picture is agree
able.
j. g. Browns pictures are always
popular. Three of them hang together
in the second gallery. Lazy Bones,

Browns newsboys are gamins only in,
garb and surroundings; their faces are,
clean and childish. On one side of this

clumsy.
Poultry fanciers, especially, enjoy
those two good pictures in the first gal,
lery, Nos. 545 and $40. That rooster,
standing on the box in the right pict-
ure, is we'll nigh perfect. The artist is
Schonton.'
The portraits of two well-known Min
neapOlitanS attract good deal of inter-
ested attention-that of Hon. B. f. Mel
son, by B. s. Hay, and that of Col
Stevens. the first resident of Minneapo-
lis who crossed the river and Staked
the first claim in the opened reSerYa-
ton. The artist is L. w. Wood. He
has succeeded in obtaining a good like
ness of the fine-looking and patriarchal
gentleman, with his sharp eyes and
flowing beard, but the coat sleeve would
be greatly improved if there were an
arm in it.
William M. Browns "Apples" are
good enough to eat, as many eXclaim.
They are scattered over handicapped
table, rOSy-cheeked and tempting, and
over damask napkin, the satiny sur
face of which is simply perfect.

See how red and cold are the bare limbs
