And lay them on their graves with tender caro-,
For pity oft-they were SO young and fair!
But for the old. grown weary with the strife,

brought out these shoes, remarking
casually that she was so glad she had
this one pair of the kind. for she knew
they would be high enough in the in

regular stock would not fit me; she ex-
planned that they were made to order
and were consequently good for two of

Tribute to Judge Putnam.

The Boston Home Journal pays it's re-
spects to Judge William L. Putnam in
the following appreciative manner:
This week has seen the beginning and
the end in the Potter cause celebre, and
in watching the course Of Judge Putnam
during the trial. His native strength
and dignity of character shine, by con-
trast, with some of the proceedings we
have recently seen in the United States
courts in Boston. With one hand he
checks the improper and unprofessional
questions of the district attorney, and
with the other he restraints the defence
from causing vexatious delays by the use
of Transparent subterfuges. The APP
pointment of Judge Putnam by Presi-
dent Harrison was acknowledged to be
one of the best of even President Harrl-
sons judicial appointments, and the rec
ord made by the judge in his present po-
sition has only strengthened this opin-
ion

"
The following single incident from the
experience of one of the missionaries
who labored in that county, illustrates
the opportunity and imperative need Of
the work. Living up stairs, in the ell of
an old house, I found sone little woman
with four small children, two in her
arms and two clinging to her skirts. Her
husband spent his time and what money
he earned at card playing. She was sick
and with no money and no Bible. She
admitted that she was trying to be a
Christian and was a praying woman.
She tried to express her deep gratitude
as a few of the Savior's consoling prom
ises were read and the book left in her
hand.
Only the luminous light of heaven can
reveal the results of the book left and
words spoken in hundreds of these
homes. While the total results of the
work will never be known until the
books are opened, those who have con-
tributed to the cause have the satisfac-

ganization they have faithfully scattered
the seed of life in these homes and that
such work cannot be in vain. The So
ciety's workers have placed it into the
hands of the fallen, and exhorted them
to Ego and sin no more.", They have
given it to the thief and asked him to
read who was the first convert of the
cross. Word has been received from
some of the destitute homes where the
Bible has been left that the book has
been the means of leading one or more
of the occupants to the Savior.
This organization alone systematically
reaches with the gospel message the
multitude of non-church going families
in our state.
Golden opportunities of usefulness in
connection with the circulation of the
Scriptures are open on every side. Three
times the number of workers the society
are now able to employ are imperatively
needed in the white field they are en-
deavoring to care for.

The engagement at the Olympia
Theater this. Friday evening, of the
we'll known emotional actress Maude
Granger, promises to be in every
sense of the word the society event OF
the season. The play to be presented
is Miss Changers most successful so
ciety comedy, The Fringe OF Society,""
which has set the play goers of New
York, Boston and the East generally
fairly wild and caused the theaters
nightly to be packed with intellectual,
society audiences.
The story of the play is simple and
clearly told; young soldier returning
to his native land after long absence
falls desperately in love with charm
ing woman. His best friend, a young
artist, knows that his friends inamo-
rata is vicious, and will, if she marries
him, destroy his life's happiness. He
endeavOrs to prevent the marriage by
frank statements, but is tOiled on
every hand by the clever woman's
strategy. He retorts to forcible meas
ures and is met by a challenge from
his infatuated friend. Finally through
a clever ruse, he succeeds, and the
soldier is saved.
Miss Changers character is that of
the beautiful adventures, Mrs. Beau.
champ Carew and the part of the
artist strongly portrayed by Mr.. Fred
eric Herzog. The entire supporting
company is a most capable one and
great stress is put upon the magnifi-
cent costuming and elegant stage
settings which characterize the pre-
sentation of the play.
