details of the finding Of the body OF the hunter.

iarly hard one. He was lost just before the big
snowstorm. and his brother, who is wealthy

were sunken. as if he had undergone great
fatigue before he succumbed to the cold. his

close examination, however it was decided that
some lumberman or hunter had found the body

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
A Relief Distributor Says That None OF
Balfour's Fund Reached the People

BOSTON, March 25-William Lloyd Garrison,
who is receiving funds for the relief of the
starving people in the west of Ireland, gives
extracts from letter written by Miss Sophie
Sturge, who has charge of the distribution of
relIer in Connaught. She says;
You will hardly believe me when tell you
that not one farthing of the large fund Mr.
Balfour has collected has come to the people
But for our private help workmen must have
died of famine. AL! the Government officials
send their cases to us, poor law officers police
magistrates, besides the priests and doctors.
The people are clamoring for food and work,
and we find that we cannot supply the increas-
ing need. We have organized our work SO far
that only the aged and those who have not
able bodied helpers and the sick receive food,
but the increasing number of these arises from
all the districts around coming for help also.
1t is a most deplorable state of things because
with relief comes decentralization and the
whole thing might have been easily prevented
had the advice of those who understand the
question been taken last year."

There was nothing unusual in the lit
tie woman's thus talking to herself.
She had fallen into the habit from the
lonely life she led, for her husband sell
dem, if ever, paid any attention to her
remarks. Indeed, it was doubtful
whether he understood them great
part of the time, as his mind shared in
measure the disease of his body.
The sunny afternoon passed without
event, save for the passing of numerous
teams, which Mrs. McGregor did not
notice, so absorbed was she in her
story. Had she done so she might have
been alarmed, for from the chattering
of Spanish that went on, it was evident
that whole families were moving. But
there was Il thick screen of trees be-
tween the cottage and the road, and
they went by without stopping, proba-
bly, taking it for granted that the old
couple had already taken alarm and
departed
The sun was nearing the horizon,
when all at once Mrs. McGregor sprang
from the hammock, eXclaiming: "Lor'

OF horror burst from her lips

Needless Disputes.

1t makes good deal of difference
from which direction we view any OBJ
iect or subject. Many needless dis
pute arises because the disputants i'm
agine that they see all round their sub
ject, while they are only looking at it
endwise or sidewise. A man who goes
to his home every day, out of town,
thinks of his train by its starting time;
and the family at home, who look for
his coming, think of the same train by its
arriving time. Did you come up on the
five-thirty?' says wife to her husband.
NO" is the reply; II came up on the
four-forty." After considerable discus
sion, they find that they are talking
about the same train. And that is the
way that good many persons disagree.
They do not realize that their subject
has two ends to it, and that neither
party to the discussion stands at both
ends ut once.-S. s. Times.

Flies get into the ointment A too
hot fire burns the cake in the oven. A
heavy rain falls when we want TO 60

ute too late and see it moving down

annoyances! How frequently we meet
them! And how do we receive them?
Often with peevish complaint. We
think of them as wholly bad, and as
simply hindrances to our pleasure. But
hold! Are they not part of the provi-
dence of God? We believe it. The
thorn on the rose of life is placed there
for good. 1t is part of our discipline
If we take these annoyances in the
proper spirit they will cultivate our
self-control, strengthen our patience,
and ripen our character. If our wills
were not sometimes opposed. and if
things did not occasionally turn out
contrary to our hopes, we would become
selfish and conceited. All these things

back to the house. With the aid of
chairs and boxes, piled on one another
she was able to soak the roof thor
oughly, thus saving the house from
burning much longer than she could
otherwise have done With her puny
strength she succeeded in flooding the
yard, and when the sparks flew upon
the barn she dashed water upon them,
but her strength was nearly gone.
Suddenly the flames caught the near
est redwood on the mountain, and
shower of sparks fell upon the house
from its writing, twisting branches
that cracked and hisssd and roarcd. A
few minutes more and it would be too

Mrs. McGregor threw the skirt of her
gown over her head and ran for safety
to the porch, where great number of
cotton-tail rabbits had sought protec-
ton. Tame with fright, they gathered
about her skirts, as with singed hair
hanging in a little wisp she threw
herself at her husbands side and
prayed.
Hardly half mile to the north, on
drawn by two running horses was
rapidly approaching the scething lake
of fire. The driver, young man,
leaned forward in his excitement, and
urged the horses on with shouts and
cuts from his long whip as they neared
the valley road, which was here and
there crossed by tongues of flame,
reaching out in all directions as if seek
ing for food.
Another minute and they were OPP
posite the house. John McGregor
pulled his cap down over his eyes, and
laid the curling whip numerically
about the TANKS of the trembling
horses. A torturing second of anxiety
and smothering heat passed over the
young man-then the noses of the ami
mails touched the s-lc of the house, al
ready burning n dozen places.
The inert black heap ly his father'e
chair sprung to life.
Il was sartin sure He'd make Won

silently they lifted the old man into
the wagon. Then she threw the guilt
and it's contents in at his side.
Now mother
jest one minute, John" she re.
piled, gathering the huddled rabbits
into her skirt; then they were off.

crest of the hill as last as the faded
horses could draw it. the brave little
woman laid her head upon her sons
shoulder, and tainted.
