strange Applications.

The Salvation Army has in London
bureau Of information, where ladies
may obtain servants and those in need
of employment find work. 1t has been
extraordinarily successful. During the
first year 1900 employers found serv-
ants, and thousand girls applied for
work.
Strange applications come to the Office.
One lady recommended her departing
servant as ssclean, tidy, honest, sober,
truthful and good worker" Wonder
ing why maid and mistress should part
under these conditions, the bureau found
that terribly bad temper was the cause
of separation.
ssBut, strangely enough said the
chief, lit happened that . lady had just
applied to Us for servant with q bad
temper, believing that such girls make
the cleanest handmaids. So that we are
able to meet every requirement. ~

witnln an inch Of losing their lives.
But it is equally law of nature that
they should escape. And whenever the
critical moment arrives in her own life
or In the life of another, it is important
for woman to remember that the very
worst thing she can do at that moment
is to lose her head.
To do that means to be helpless i'm
stead of helpful, TO be drag instead of
an assistance. In an emergency one
should rather seem heartless than in
efficient. There are always ten people
ready to cry or faint or shed tears over
the sufferer where there is one who
stands coolly by and sees the way to
help him. Affection and sympathy are
often best proved by ignoring them,
particularly when the moment arrives
that calls for action and not tears

second time with the same result. His

THE DEATH or LITTLE LuE.

within Many Rough Exterior.
Our ghostly, white topped wagons
had rounded into camp nSar Kingfsher;
the sun had set and there was a golden
blush ON the western sky--ahl remem-
ber the scene well-as we all gathered
around old Gunderson, who sat on the
prairie with his head bowed and his
struggling gray hair falling over child
ish, face and mingling with curls that
seemed like spun gold. He held his
daughter in his arms and at every faint
respiration the old mans sinewy hands
clutched convnlsively as though he re-
allied how vain was all his strength to-
save his child.
We were boomers, and all the way
from Caldwell little Lue had been all
ing. Her face grew paler and her cheeks
flushed brighter crimson day by day.
She could not support herself toward
the last, and one Of the boys drove old
Gunderson's wagon while he sat behind
and held the girl in his arms.
All through the lonely Cherokee strip
what torture must that wretched father
have borne, sleeplessly watching his dy-
ing childl And the heaps and heaps Of
white bones that bleached and decayed
beside the trail--what ominous remind
ers Of death must they have been to old
Gunderson!
"How is she, Gunderson?" asked some
one in q whisper.
He turned his blodshot eye upward
for moment, and his face, pinched and
drawn with grief, was mute answer to
the words.
Father" The sound was just audi
BILE and little Lue's eyelids raised slowly.
"What is it, dearie?' asked the old
man, pressing his bearded lips to the
child's.
81 had such beautiful dream, father.
It was night, it seemed like, and all at
once great big star fell from up there
and hung in the sky just over my head.
Then ] heard mothers voice-oh, SO
sweet and sadl and she said, Come,
dearie; kiss your father and come to
me-
Little Lue's words became inaudible
after this, and she sank down wearily
in her fathers arms. We all stood sad
" by and saw the child at last lift her
self with q quick effort and put both
arms about her fathers neck. Then she
kissed him, and murmuring, II am SO
tired z she again lay quietly on old Gun
derson's breast.
Slowly rocking to and fro the old man
kept his eyes on her face and never once
removed them. Then we drifted away
one by one and attended to our camp
duties with heavy hearts. 1t was not
long till some one came and said to me:
ben, little Lue is dead and old Gun
derson doesn't know itrc
walked back to the old man where
he sat still rocking his burden, and one
glance at the child face proved that she
had passed away.

Lne is gone.
He looked at me vacantly q moment;
then with q start he peered into his
child's face. He realized the truth, laid
>the dead child down and dashed off into
the night with cry Of anguish.
There Is rude grave on the prairie,
just bit the border Of what was once the
Cheyenne and Arapaloe reservation,
and 9 clumsy headstone marks the spot,
sacred to the memory of little Lue and
her father-for we found old Gunderson
