Too Personal an Appeal.

An amusing story is told Of West
Walnut street young woman who, hay
ing read strange tales of Summing in
London, determined to visit Philadel-
phia's own very tough Stun district and
see what life there was like. As sort
of preliminary she supplied herself with
a number of tracts, having vague idea
that the benighted residents there We're
in need of spiritual instruction. Board
ing Seventh street car, she got off at
cambridge, and to the first man she
saw, who was leaning idly against a
lamppost, she very politely handed one
Of the tracts. He took it good natured-
~ and after glancing at it returned it
with the smiling remark that he was a
married man. Greatly nlystiiicd by this
expression, she looked at the tract and
saw that it was entitled abide With

Mr.. Editor: Will you kindly al
low space for the following in your
"Free Thought Column z" do not
know the name of the author. The
sentiment, however, is so good that
wish everyone, especially 50 called
Christians, might read it and ponder.

"When woman has fallen victim to
man,
Pick her up and restore her who dare or
who can?
Let her roam in the slums with her shame
and her wee,
While the scum floats on top let her SIM.
far below.
Shake the man by the hand, be he coward
or cur;
Have kindness for him, but no me c, for
her;
Good Christians must spurn her tha;
virtue endure,
And make a pariah to show they are
poor.
The Master of old, when the wretched
one came,
Caught in sin, and Overwhelmed with the
weight of her shame,
With rebuke made pursuers their malice
give DER,
And plying, said-"Go in peace: sin nc
more!"
What, moved by woman's pentance
and tears?
Christ was not a Christian-at least tor
these years.

Free town libraries! Doesn't that
sound good! If the bill now before
the legislature becomes law, and we
are told that the prospect for it is
good, it will place Vermont we'll along
upon the great educational highway
that leads up to the temple of knowl-
edge. She already hasgood common
schools, academies and colleges and
as good class of newspapers as can
De found anywhere, all furnished at a
cost that no one need feel. Free town
libraries would round up the series and
leave ignorance without a shadow of

A bill has passed the lower branch
OF the legislature making all news.
paper subscription bills made after
the expiration of the stipulated time
OF subscription, noncollectable. Now
II the Senate will only concur every
newspaper man in the state will rise
up and call the present legislature
blessed.
The effect of this bill will be to put

paper circulating in the state, solidly
upon the advance system, just where
all ought to be, as it will be better
for both publisher and subscriber.

North Bend Republican Man born
of woman is small fish and full Of
bones. He biteth like sucker in

root Of reflection in the twilight of
life. No sooner is he off the hook of
dread experience than he again seek
eth the seductive bait to be once more
hooked. He liveth but day, yet ere
noontide comes he imagines there is
nothing he does not know. At night
he lieth down to eternal sleep cogni-

but grain of sand upon the shore OF

A Poor Joke Played by Pittsburg Man
and Its Sequel.

A Poor Joke Played by q Pittsburg Man
and It's Sequel.
Some people have a poor apprecia-
ton of humor. This must be an aw-
ful load to carry through life. On a
crisp, cold day q Bohemian and his
friend stood in front of a Pittsburg
hotel holding down the sidewalk
while they thought about what they
smoking. The other held an un-
lighted cigar between his teeth. A
cable car came along, then horse
car with front platform crowded with
smokers. The sight of it revived in
the mind of the Bohemian q faint
shadow of an ancient joke. He smiled
and suddenly beckoned energetically
to man on the front platform AS
soon as the man saw that he was the
one wanted he jumped off and came
back to where the Bohemian was
standing.
"Give me light, please" said the
latter gravely. Thanks.
why, confound your impudence,
you didn't call me off that car to have
me give you light?"
Now, don't get red-headed about
il" replied the joker calmly; there's
cable car right behind
But the jolree was one of those
curious fellows who have no apprecia-
ton of humor. He hauled off with
his right and big oath and down fell
the joker-either hit by the oath or
the fist. he did not know which.
Now, don't get red hot about it,
said the other fellow. "You can catch
an ambulance around the corner"
And he broke for the cars again.
"That joke looked very funny whom
l read it in the newspapers" said the
bohemian, as his friend busted him
off, ''but the thing doesn't seem TO
work right, does it2''
