DIR. Greer is one of the most pro-
gressive and enterprising members Of
the Christian ministry in the metropo-
lis, and is thinking constantly of new
work that can be done to help and
benefit humanity. In opening his loan
Office he followed principle which
characterized his many other helpful
enterprises, and persons are helped
without regard to the sect, nationality
or class to which they belong. To
raise the money for starting the loan
office DIR. Greer called on his congrega-
ton to advance the sum required and
they did SO generously and promptly.
DIR. Greer was asked for an account of
the enterprise and furnished the fol-
lowing, by request, over his signature:
The idea of starting bureau in New
York to lend money to wage-earners,
on terms like those which the banks
offer to business men, has been a fav-
orite one with myself and few others
for two or three years past, but the
difficulty has been to put the idea into
effect. The average business man and
people of fortune who have recognized
security such as stocks, bonds, mort
cages and the like, can always borrow
money at the banks at low late of in
terest, and for periods to suit their
convenience; but the wage-earner, who
is dependent entirely upon what he can
earn by the day, week or month. en-
joys no such advantage, because al
though he may own property that is of
value, in the way of household effects,
he cannot at a moment of necessity
realize on any of these things except
at a cruel sacrifice.
The question arose whether it would
be possible to lend money to the wage
earning classes at the legal rate of in
terest, taking such security as they
have to offer. lending them a fair
amount for a reasonable time to be
paid back in monthly instaliments.
believed that the plan was a feasible
one, and received the hearty support

that railroad in and Of itself is not

Only the officers and employees can do
these things. So when road really vio-

done by some officer or employee.
The management of a road generally

He Could SYmnathize.

l was walking along a street given
over TO the smallest of shops and almost
the cheapest of restaurants, when I met a
good looking t~en-year-old boy in shabby,
respectable clothes.
1t was autumn, and I carried a bunch
of flaming, splendid maple leaves. He
stopped, as if the sight of them really
took his breath away.
"Oh, give me one," he gently ex-
claimed, in a manner that was more
than polite. It lifted our interview
straightway into some rare, superhuman
atmosphere, where perfect simplicity
became a matter of course. Unfor-
~tunately this wa not so becoming to me
as to him.
l said, "Oh, I hate tot" but at the
same time l began looking for the mean
est little leaf l could find. When I had
discovered and was presenting it, shame
overcame me, and torn with conflicting
emotions, l said:
II know I'm being horribly stingy."
"Never mind" said my boy, in a big,
masculine, comforting name II
know just how you feel"
He smiled his thanks reassuringly, and
we parted new TO meet again. I de-
clare, l could write a sad little poem
about 1t this minute.-Atlantic Monthly.

Man Must Have n Cook.

Man always needs a cook. e college
professor, bereft of his wife, who had
done his homework for years, engaged a
cook at greater wages than had been the
allowance he gave his wife. He bar
gained for punctuality. II must have
my dinner at 49," he stated. 81 can't
get it ready till 1 O'clock" she answered.
He yielded and changed the hour of his
college recitation. The next week she
demanded d new stove, as the old one
was too low. 1T costs too much" he
expostulated. 81 can't afford to hurt
my back" she replied.
He knew it was not SO easy to find an
other good cook, and bought the stove.
A week later she desired him to send for
the carpenter that the back staircase
might be changed. Then he dismissed
and became a boarder. Which was
the cheaper thing to do?-Pittsburg Dis
patch.

1t was in a well known hotel in Bangor.
Aparty of gentlemen were converting ON
one subject and another. During a lull
in the conversation one gentleman noticed
a scar on the hand of another, and inter
rogated him as TO the cause. The other
answered that he received it in a very
curious way, and told the following story
in regard to it:
/ got that wound in the battle of Get
tysburg. had been fighting all day and
felt very tired, and so sat down on a rock
and shot from there. l was just loading
up my gun when a long, lean, lank fell
Low darted by me, making for the woods
like a streak of creased lightning. I'D
with my gun and let drive at him, but ne
didn't drop, and as l had shot Just 9g9
and didn't want to lose the thousanth, I
started after him.
/ never saw a man run so fast in all
my adventurous life, and I could see that
l was gaining upon him. but every once
In a while | lost sight of him behind a
tree or rock. | noticed a lull in the fight,
and glancing aside I saw that both armies
had stopped fighting and were straining
their eyes to see the race.
That raised my courage, and l forgot
all about being tired. Just then I made
a squirt of speed, and as I did so I felt
something strike my hand which spread
like the fan of a windmill.
Well, to make a long story short, /
caught up with him and was about to
collar him when he turned about and
tried to stab me. lodged his blow, and
just then something hit him and he fell
over dead.
l sat down beside him to rest, and as
l did so noticed blood trickling down nv
hand. On closer investigation l found
that there was a bullet hole in the palm.
The dead man had a bullet hole in his
breast, and l am positive in my belief
that both wounds were made by the
bullet, and that it was the same
bullet that l had fred at the Confederate.
The race wa so hot that l caught up with
and passed it at some time during my
chase. That is why I now wear that
car.-Bangor News.

Emmet's Presence of Mind.

A story is told of Robert Emmett which
proved his secretive power and resolu-
ton. He was fond of studying chemistry,
and one night late, after the family had
gone to bed, he swallowed a large guam
tty of corrosive sublimate in mistake for
some acid cooling powder. He immedi-
ately discovered his mistake and knew
that death must shortly ensue unless he
instantly swallowed the only antidote,
chalk.
I1mld men would have torn at the
bell, reused all the family and sent for a
stomach pump. Emmett called no one,
made no noise, but, stealing down stairs
n unlocking the front door, went into
the stable, scraped some chalk which he
knew to be there and took sufficient doses
OF 1t to neutralize the poison New York
World.
