rent he was roo SICK to work and had
no other means of getting his rent, but
knew he must give this up before be
could get saved He said he would do
it that day, and did, and got saved and
really accepted Christ. The Slum officer
promised him he should not want for
food and she would also pay his rent
and did for months, as his sickness was
lingering. We bought him little cot
TO sleep on and did what else We could
during his last days on earth. We found
he had brother living and hunted him
up. Although himself very poor he took
the dying man to his house just before
the end came.
For such as these we gladly live and
spend our lives. and it brings JOY.
Now, we wish it distinctly understood
by all that there is nothing we have
stronger objection 10 than the paUper-
izing or demoralizing of those classes
whom this organization specifically
seeks TO relieve and reclaim We deem
it infinitely preferable for a man who
applies 10 us with an empty stomach,
after having been supplied with food,
to be put TO work at once that he may
have some opportunity of earning suf-
ficient means for securing his next
meal, and, consequently, we hold that
money given TO the Salvation Army is
used in the best possible manner for the
immediate relief of suffering humanity.
The Slum brigades and the Food and
Shelter depots. in which our men and
women officers are engaged, afford mag
nifcent facilities for preventing this
pauperizing and demoralizing of such
people.
Need I add, IN behalf of the thou
sands who walk Shelterkess and hopeless
upon the cold streets of this great dark
city, that we need more Shelters and
Stun posts and Rescue homes. and that
we need them now? ANY help given
now would enable US to lessen the suf-
fering which reigns in many demoral-
lied homes and with many homeless
ones. Are there no hearts in our rich
cities who will practically respond to
the facts here given? Let us not forget
that many deserving men and women
are never heard from until starvation
has pressed them beyond recovery and
startled the readers of the daily press
OF one thing we are increasingly conf
dent-that any help given will bring
not only blessing TO the poor, needy
ones, but will rebound in multiplied
blessing to those whose hearts have
been touched to respond.
Yours faithfully, on behalf of the un-
protected and unrescued of our cities,

Now it viii be at once apparent that
as the officers engaged in this Saviour
like mission enter the lowest dives and
the most vicious abodes themselves,
daily and nightly, on their errands of
mercy, they are as a natural sequence
the most likely to know who are really
needing help and deserving.
Living in their very midst as neigh
bors they can very readily detect the
professional swindler of charitable peo-
pie, while at the same time they are
able to administer the help for which
the sincere languishing soul cries. and
consequently they are scarcely ever de-
ceived
Oh, that we had the help that is with
in the power Of some to give us at this
very Christmas time, when hundreds OF
men are pleading at our shelter doors
for admission, and when the voices of
these unpitied, gaunt-faced applicants
would move the heart of stone!
1t has been sometimes difficult for
me to control my feelings upon learn
ing Of some worldly persons paying for
tions what would supply years lodg-
ing for score of the unhoused and des-
titute multitude who apply nightly to
these shelters, and l confess to having
sometimes felt the flush of shame
rising to my face when hearing OF some
fashion follower spending for one jewel
that which would enable the heroic and
self-sacrifcing women of our Slum
brigade to carry food to scores of faIni-
lies who are elling out miserable ex-
istence on food which they would
scarcely consider Fl to throw to their
pet dogs. If the dream of the equal
distribution of wealth is Utopian,
venture to hope, in the light of this dire
need of my fallen brothers and sisters,
that the day IS near at hand when in
reality some whom God has blessed
with abundant means will assist these
workers who measure out in prayerful

him down" That's what they call il,
and the surest way for boy to arrange
for a whaling trip into the back cellar,
with his. father as the whaler, is to give
the impression that he thinks he knows
more tkNn the head of the family. The
boy asks his sire which one of the plan
cts is nearest the sun, and the old gen
tlernan takes chances and says Saturn.
Then the boy reaches for his astronomy
and his father reaches for a barrel stave,
and the end of that boy is not peace.
The retraction of Galileo is not patch
pn it.
If the boy has any unfortunate pc
euliaritiss he hears of them. If he in
herits them from his mothers family,
his father points them out to him; and
II they come from the other side of the
house, his mothers relations deplore
them in his presence. For instance,
Tanners mother was a Mudget. The
pid man Tanner had a habit of carry
ing one shoulder higher than the other.
30 such of George WIS aunts as were
mudgsfs would entlcs the boy into their
presence with gingerbread that had
been lying around the house till no
BODY would eat it, and then they would
ksll him that his right shoulder was too
high, and that he was Just like the
Tanners" Then the boy would cry,
and afterward he would try very hard
10 bring his left shoulder up to the
lerel of the other, because the CONVEX
ration had convinced him that there
must be something disgraceful about
The Tanners, and he had resolved not to
sesemble them any more. In reality
bis shoulders were all right to begin
with, but by persistently hitching up
hhe left one, in difference to his aunts'
opinion, he at last succeeded in making
himself permanently one-sided, and
khus afforded much qualification to the
budgets.
A down east boy is always to blame,
sven for having red hair. This course
of treatment is supposed to make him
modest, but tho effect which it really
does produce Is illustrated by the case
bf Tanner. At the age of twenty-five
he inherited a grocery and general
store, with a fair business. He en-
ployed q couple of clerks, boolIkeeper,
and for three months in the year sew
eral men to drive wagons and deliver
goods of an inferior quality to people
who kept summer boarders in the town
md its vicinity. George was not good
business man. and his mistakes were

A Queer Proceeding.

A man in Leeds, England, looked a
gift horse in the mouth the other day
with profitable result. The keeper of a
skating rink had advertised "a great
fancy costume carnival and by way of
stimulating the invention Of his patrons
he promised that the wearer of the most
original costume should be rewarded
with watch of the value of ninety
dollars. The man who won the
watch took it to jeweler, who said
the timepiece was worth only twenty
dollars. The winner, therefore, applied
to the courts for redress. The skating
rink proprietor defended himself with
the plea that the giving of the prize was
q purely voluntary act, and the re-
cipient should not take the giver's esti-
mate too literally. The judge, how
ever, took different view, and gave
Judgment for the plaintiff for ninety
dollars.

HOW ANIMALS BEAR PAIN.

Their Mute f1erotsm In Suffering Puts
Mems Endurance to Shame.
One of the pathetic things connected
with this Kaleidoscope nonsense people
call life is the manner in which the ami
NAL kingdom endures suffering. Take
horses, for instance, in BATTLE and after
the first shock of wound they make
no sound. They bear the pain with
mute, wondering endurance, and if at
night you hear a wild groan from the
battle field it comes from their loneli-
ness, their loss Of that human conpan-
ionship which seems absolutely indis-
animals.
The dog will carry broken leg for
days wistfully but uncomplainingly.
The cat, stricken with club or stone or
caught in some trap from which it
gnaws it's way to- freedom, crawls to
some secret place and bears in silence
pain which we could not endure. Sheep
and other cattle meet the thrust of the
butchers knife without sound, and
even common poultry endure intense
agony without complaint.
The dove, shot unto death, flies to
some far off bough, and as it dies the
silence is unbroken save by the patter
on the leaves of it's own life blood.
The wounded deer speeds to some thick
brake and in pitiful submission waits
for death. The eagle, struck in mid
air, fights to the last against the
fatal summons; there is no moan Or
sound of pain, and the defiant look
never fades from it's eyes until the lids
close over them never to uncover again.
Here is all example of this splendid
endurance right before us, says the
Florida Times Union, which proud man
in vain tries to emulate A mule
.haltered to post awaiting treatment,
one of It's hind feet a s11ppurating
sore, the frog fostering and running
out. It's whole body droops and it's

veterinary surgeon standing by says
that the lightest touch on that foot to
the ground causes the most intense
pain and yet there is no sound, nothing
but that patient endurance that aston
ishes and appalls.

FlLIAL DEVOTION.
A .JananeseGirl Who Shed Her Blood for
Her Father.

A JapaneseGirl Who Shed Her Blood Tor
Her Father.
A very touching but painful Incident,
illustrating the depth Of ignorance and
the wasted powers Of self-abnegation
which exist among Japanese women, has
just been brought to light by the kok-
kai. The story runs that florist
named Toyoshima Sal1ichi, fifty years
of age, was attacked by some disease OF
the brain, and had been confined to his
bed since January Is. His daughter,
Yone, aged sixteen, who was engaged
as a servant in the house of a military
officer, was deeply grieved by the ILL
ness of her father and his apparently
hopeless condition.
She went barefooted day by day to
Sokakuji temple to pray. but all to no
purpose. Her father continued as bad
as before. At last one night an old man
with snow-white hair appeared to her
and told her that if she wished. her
father to get we'll she must give him
cupful of blood from a girl sixteen
years of age. On awal1ing she decided
that she would carry out the old mans
instructions.
She procured a sword from her mas
ter's house and went home, telling her
parents about her dream and that she
intended to give her father cup OF her
blood Her father, Mortified at his
daughters conduct, took the sword
from her and demonstrated with her.
She returned to her work, but on the
same night she cut her left arm in two
places and carried the cup of blood to
her father, imploring him to drink it.
.. The Mortified parents sent for a doc
tor and had her wounds dressed and did
their best to drive away her supersti-
tious beliefs. This is, of course, only
an exaggerated instance of the super
stition and ignorance which leads to all
the other sacrifices made by women for
their parents in Japan.
