The young woman managed to get a
hand free, with the help of which the
barefoot boy tied up the roots in the
torn paper bag.
I'm very thankful to you," said the
woman. 81 get out here. Good-by,
mother. I'll be home early"
The boy carried her largest bundle
| to the car door, and touched his shah
by hat as he handed it out to her. The
car went on, and 4 moment later the
old woman started up in dismay.
''Seer" she cried, pointing after her
daughter. "She's dropped her purse;
she don't know it, and she's gone on
without it.''
She called to her daughter, but the
car made so much noise that her voice
could not be heard.
Don't you fret: I'll catch herr
cQuiclS as a fash the shabby boy had
sprung off the car, and was making his
bare feet do swift work in moving him
towards the spot where lay the purse.
In another fash he had picked it up,
bounded after the young woman, and
placed it in her hands.
There is no telling whether he could
have caught the car if the lady with
the soft gray hair had not stopped it
for him. He came in out of breath,
with eyes shining and cheeks glowing.
Everyone in the car had smile for
him.
You did that we'll" said one.
"Oh, that want nothin'!' said the
boy between two breaths. at
wouldn't "a made no difference if l
hadn't "a caught the car, cause I'm
goin' to get off in two blocks, any
way"
You're real little gentleman"
said the old woman, with look and
voice of hearty thanks.
''GOod-bv, ma'am," he said. with .
laugh, as he swung himself off the car.
"Ies, he is, said the soft-haired lady.
Johnny gazed at them both in great
surprise. She seemed about to speak to
him, but he was now at the end of his
ride, and. as he left the car, the lady
followed him. Her face was SO pleas
ant that as she kept beside him for
little way up cross street Johnny
could not help speaking what was on
his mind
How can barefoot fellow like that
be gentleman?" he asked.
The lady smiled again as she looked
at the new suit, and the shining, well
BACKED shoes
My little man." she said, you are
old enough to know that fine clothes
do not make a gentleman"
Don't they?" said Johnny. He was
surprised and a little disappointed.
But a second thought reminded him
that very large part of his life was
likely to be spent in shabby clothes,
so the new idea was not without COM
fort.
No" went on the lady; when you
see boy who is always ready to give
helping hand and kind, respectful
word 70 a stranger, you may feel sure
that he is a gentleman, no matter what
he wears. And when you see a boy
who in his home is always kind and
loving to his mother and the others
who may be there. doing all he can TO
help, always being kind to women and
TO anything smaller or weaker than
himself, You'll find a gentleman there.

THE SANDMAN.

The Sandman passes from house to house
At dusk on his way through town;
Ee shakes his oox TO the right and tbs left
Into baby eyes blue and brown.
And the eyelids droop as the sand shower falls
So softly that no one knew when
The Sandman came, but you soon can see
He's been on his rounds again.
For wherever he passes the dear little heads
Droop like the sun kissed flowers,
And nestle into their pillows white
To sleep through the quiet hours.

CLAN.NA.GAEL MANIFESTO.
Attitude OF the Organization To-

CHICAGO, April ga secret meet
ing of the Northwestern council of the
Clan-na-Gael was held at the residen ce
OF prominent nationalist in this city
today to discuss the home rule bill and
the question of amnesty to the Irish
political prisoners. The council is COM
posed of representatives of branches in
Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, the two Dakotas, Iowa, Nebraska,
Montana and Washington. The result
OF their deliberations was embodied in
the following address. which was for
Yarded to the branches and ordered
published:
Chicago. April 25, 1S93.-Dear Breth-
rem: AT this critical stage Of the move
ment for Ireland's freedom we cannot
afford TO allow the position of our or
ganlZation to be misrepresented or mis-.
understood. We have never presumed
to be more than active friends and allies
OF our brothers at home, and have al
ways contended for the right of the peo-
pie OF Ireland to decide for themselves
as to the settlement of the national
question. We, therefore, wish the peo-
pie OF Ireland success in their efforts to
so amend the home rule bill as to make
1t entirely satisfactory, OF, at least. the
basis from which perfect system OF
self-government may be In time devel-
ODed. On the question of amnesty our
position is equally clear. We hope to see
home rule accomplished or preceded
by graceful and generous act OF
clemency that will remove all cause for
ill-feellng. Our friends should press
for amnesty, not on logical technicali-
ties or contentious, that are really in
furious to the prisoners, regarding the
incidents of the trials, but on the ground
Of broad and liberal craftsmanship"
The address closes with denuncia
ton of the recently circulated report
that the organization had resolved to
disband, and ascribing its origin to Ire
lands enemies.

PADEREWSKI'S DIGITS
May Not Finger a Piano at the Ex-
position.

CHICAGO, April 23.-Paderewski may
not perform as the star drawing card in
the inaugural concert which is to be
held in Music hall May 2. 1t so happens
that this musicians favOrite piano is
one manufactured in New York, and by
a firm which was originally granted the
best space in the manufactures build
ing for a piano exhibit. After enter
ing into contract and permitting the
exposition company 10 make all the
plans, PadereWSki'S favOrite firm, along
with several others, suddenly abrogated
their contracts and withdrew in a
body from their exposition space.
This action was regarded unfavorably
by the exposition company, and Direct
or General Davis issued statement that
the piano firms which had played false
to the worlds fair would not be permit
ted to place their instruments in any
building on the worlds fair grounds.
This order was strictly regarded by I'll
except the bureau of music, which of its
own accord engaged PaderewSkl for two
performances to take place May and
May 3. The piano makers who are to
exhibit have threatened to Withdraw If
Paderewski is allowed to play on that
particular piano. An attempt was made
to solve the difficulty by getting the
piano company to exhibit, but it was I'M
successful, and now the chances are
very strong that PadereWski will not be
allowed to play at the exposition.

New YORK, April 23.-Ihe conven-
ton Of the American section of the
Theosophical society met here today.
There was fair attendance, delegates
being present from a number of the
principal cities of the country and from
England. DR.. ]. G. Buck, OF Cincinnati,
presided, and Elliott b. Page, of st.

American section. There have been
during the last year nineteen new
branches instituted in this country,
making total of seventy-seyen branch
es on the American roll. There were
754 consuls during the year.
The most important matter to
come before the opening session
was the report of 5. +. Wrleht,
of Chicago. on the arrangements made
to secure hearing for theOsophy be-
fore the worlds fair religious congress
to be held at the worlds fair, Chicago.

from beneficent works. How are men
to know what character is except as
they can see 1t or be blessed by it? The
great exemplar of man was Jesus, and
this was the test he>applled. A tree was
to be known by the fruit it grew; the
test of diScipleship was action.
I'VE have had far too much surface
view and make-belieye. Now is
the time to examine the ground
upon which we stand, and to teach
others the true foundation upon which
we stand. Religion has become for all
of us far too easy thing. Its eminent
responsibility and fashionableness sit
like vampires and suck the very life
blood from the chuTch's power. Hard
times, adverse circumstances appear to
be needed to develop and declare what
sort religion is. Never was there such
a demand for character as shown In
conduct as we have today. A great OBJ
ject lesson has been given to this west
in the last legislature. 1t is not with
out meaning that charges of all kinds
have been made against men in high
places; that week after week we have
never known what would be said or
done any day. But amidst all the un-

"FAITH HEALING"
Morrill, Calls Most of 1t q "PiOus
Fraud"

Last evening at the Calvary Baptist
church G. l.. Morrill, took OCCASION to
refer to what he called a 'pestilent
error" saying, among other things:
Christ was our divine physician as
well as Precipitation. He came to save
from suffering as well as from sin. On
earth He healed all manner of diseases,
thereby attesting His deity, and uttering
parallels of pardon for leprouS lives.
Today we honor Him in the use of the
medical herbs He planted in creation,
and of the professional minds He has
endowed with healing skill.
That Christ can cure directly, without
the use of secondary cures, no one de-
MES who admits His deity. But what
Christ can do or did DO and now does,
are questions directly dissimilar. He
only raised Lazarus from the grave
after his friends had done their part and
rolled the stone away. He healed those
desperate cases which hads not yielded
to:human remedies. The Bible is full of
Instances showing the relation between
GOd-ordained human means and ends.
God says, LET us reason together"
Religion does not deny common sense.
The man who tries to divorce what God
has put together makes a mistake.
christian science" is fraud, and
some so-called "Faith healing' is ia
natical humbug. Death is mans best
friend to ushe rhim into heaven, and
sickness is often part of Gods good
plan for His children.
Paul prayed thrice that ''the thorn in
the flesh" might depart from him. The
prayer was denied, but God gave Paul
a sufficient grace which made the
divine strength perfect in weakness so
that the apostle could glory in his in
tirmities. Prayer is more for the cleans
ing of the soul than for the curing of
the body.
The disappointment which results
from unanswered prayer for bodily
healing tOrtures the mind, aggravateS
the disease and tends to sceptlicism.
The prayer of a consecrated Christian
is incalculable in power and value, but
that man has the mightiest range of
faith who submits to Gods plan with
out insisting on divine healing.
Dr.. Cults, the faith cures chief
apostle, used medicine as he grew
older and finally had the best physi-
clans Boston afforded.
Christian faith reverently uses every
thing for sickness which commends
itself to brain, conscience and heart and

Rabbis Take Notice of the Insult
to Young Seiigman.

to Young Seiigman.
NEW YORK, April 23.-The black
balling of Theodore Seligman, son of
Banker Jesse Seligman. by the Union
League club, because, as is alleged. he
is a Hebrew, was denounced by Raphael
BENJAMIN and F. De Sofa Mendes, two
prominent rabbis, from their pulpits
Yesterday. In vigorous tones, they de-
clared that a number OF "bralnleSS
youths" in this club, on account OF race
prejudice, had sought to heap indlgnity
upon the Hebrews Of America. They
declared that the blackballlng was un-
American and un-Christian, and re-
Elected upon the enlightenment OF our
country. Said Rabbi Benjamin: The
Israelite who applied for admission to
the club is a born Americana graduate
of Harvard college. He is a gentleman
of the highest social and commercial po-
sitions, and, such being the case, all
true men, all true Americans, and all
true Christians must agree with me that
the action of the 136 men who black
balled him was unmanly, un-Amerlcan
and un-Christian. They did not act as
men. and they did not act as Americans.
But. remember, this is only tempest in
a teapot. Do not pay any attention to
the uttera ces in the Hebrew press of
the city, which | notice this week
gives too much Importance to the Incl
dent. and would make you believe that
this is only the beginning of move
ment against the Jews in this city. 1t
is not So On the contrary, it is only a
small remnant of the ignorant prejudice
which once existed toward those OF our
faith, and which, under the enllgnten-
ing influence Of education, is fast dlsap-
nearing. Do not let us lose our religion
and attempt to retalliate for any Sights
nut upon us. Let us prove by our ac-
lions that we are fit to sit side by side
with the best in the land, and those who
do not care to associate with us may
hold aloOf."

Friendship, love and truth were moth
Ing if each stood by itself. The success
of the world was due to unity, and
unity" was the grandest word of the
nineteenth century. In explaining the
fulsome meaning of each of the three
symbols, Rev. Sample told number
of stories apropos of the subject. He
interested his audience very much, and
was applauded when he concluded. He
eXemplitied, in his characteristic way,
the difference between false and true
friendship, passion and love, falsehOod
and truth. Jealousy, anger and hate
had no corner in the heart of the Odd
Fellow, he said. There might be coun-
terfeitS who entered the lodge. the same
as counterfeitS entered the church, not
for the purpose of betterment, but in
order that they might attain their own
selfish ends But the true Odd Fellow
lived up to the three principles which
were woven together into a seamless
robe and spread it over human kind. a
web of brOtherly love and human kind
ness.
