necessary for those interested in polit-

bearings for the purpose of ascertain

The peoples party has been formed
under the most favorable auspices, and
gives promise of an early emancipation
from the thraldom of the money power

special and extraordinary effort, re-
auiring large outlay in the preparation
of documents, arranging meetings and
other legitimate and proper purposes.
To this end every earnest friend OF
political and economic reform, and
every reform Organization, Is uroad to
contribute at once and Eh1rally. Don't
delay moment Send the money now.

HOUNDED HIM DOWN.

Iuue ooX winch served the purpose
OF a stage, y young man stood, his
pale features looking CHASTITY in the
glare of tie torchlights.
"Make way herel" cried the
rough policeman, prodding thepe
pie with his club. "Stand from
the sidewalk"
But they did not seem to heed
him. There was only momentary
jar and jostle in the crowd as the
people craned their necks to catch
a glimpse of that wan object be-
tween the lights, and hear the i'm
passioned words that fell from the
trembling lips.
"What does it mean? Who is
that man?" asked of a person at
my side.
"He's an evangelist At least,
he's started out to be one. Don't
you know him? Jim Allen great
est sot in town. He was converted
last night, and now he's turned out
on his own hook. He's a good one,
too. Just hear him!"
Never shall l forget his appear
ance-the slight form; the pale
features; the dark hair blowing
about his high and noble forehead !;
but best Of all, his ringing voice,
his earnest, eloquent words.
"People of Shelton" he said,
"you that know me we'll; people
with whom | have lived and sinned
SO long-I want to tell you all to-
night that | am a saved, a redeem

/ sat in the valley of despair and
desolation, that the Lord God open
eda window in the blue Heaven and
sent an angel Of mercy to minister
to my soul. 1t was only last night
that He lifted me out Of the depths
and placed my feet upon, rock
even the Rock Christ Jesus. And
| come to you tonight to bear wit
ness to His saving grace, for great
is that God who could reach out Of
Heaven and save mel And now in
His presence and yours, pledge
my life to His service, and may He
sustain me, and may you hold W

He paused a moment. Then with
streaming and uplifted eyes he
sang: 4
