sob look at them flowers. Oh what kind
of flowers is that and that. and that?'
The questioner was alittle ''fr' sh air boy
sent out by tn" society for his first visit to
the country, and AS the train dashed past
meadows bright with flowers. his delight
knew no bounds. "You love flowers. don't
your said |. "You bet | do in Il tone
which left no room for doubt
And then fell to thinking how the world
Is he garden of the Lord, and these, his little
ones, the tlowerets fair, but how the earthly
gardeners had neglected them, and let them
get crowded together in unwhoesome corn
ers where the burning air is rendered more
intolerable by the vile odors of dirt and
decay, and worse than all, is filled with
voices quarreling and cursing, for these
sensitive plants are affected BY foul sounds
as well as by foul air. If the Son of the
Owner were here He would have compassion
on the multitude, and so must we. And one
of the best ways of helping and reviving
them is for those who are in that part of the
garden which is still as He planted it, where
He maketh the grass to grow, and the trees
rejoice before him and the heavens declare
His glory to take the uncared for plantlets to
live with them for little while. The Child
ren's Fresh Air Society is the transplanting
machine.
Well, by this time we had reached our de-
stination and left the train. Two of the little
girls from one Of the most wretched parts OF
Baltimore had been invited again to the same
place where they had stayed the year before.
A little country girl Of their own age drove
down to meet them, and the children rushed
into each others arms. 1t was needless to
ask if they were glad to see each other again.
In conversation had with one ofthe young
men of the family, he said 81 don't see how
the country people can help taking the chill
iren. We are more than repaid for any
slight trouble they may be, by the infinite
pleasure the two weeks visit gives them"
The post-otflce address of the society is l12
North Charles Street. Baltimore. Its presi-
dent is Mr.. VIM. l.. Smith: its vce-president
and treasurer, Mr.. Fred r. Owens; and Sec
Rotary. Miss Katharine Ct. Spear, 81 West
Lanvale Street.
The path OF good woman is indeed
strewn with flowers, but they rise behind her
steps not before them Would that all the
women of the State might unite in this living
Flower Mission and taking the little ones by
the hand, say:
Come out, children, from the mine and from
the city,
Sing out, children, as the little thrushes
do,
Pluck your handtuls of the meadow cowslips
pretty.
Laugh aloud to feel your fingers let them
though"

and the standing crop of hay is past its
prime. Potatoes, grass and pastures have
been Gr 5a'ly improved by the moist condi-
tions; vegetables of all kinds are looking well.
A box of peaches were shipped from Wicomico

were shipped the past week. Huckleberries

WANAMAKER'S
PHILADELPHIA, July s, 1898.

This store is singular. A
well-dehned purpose under
lies its doings. And being sin
gular, leaves us without com
parable competition; lands us
out in the open of enlarged
opportunity, and increases the
stores responsibility to its
public.
Large operations along the
lines of trustworthy merchan-
disc bring the bargains We
offer. We are not vieing with
those stores that distribute
trash; we never handle I'M
worthy or unsatisfactory goods
because they can be sold for
little money. Such goods are
dear at any price.
But it is only the unsafe in
quality that is left unmatched.
Masterful buying in the quanti-
ties necessary for this greatest
of retail stores brings more in
teresting prices on goods Of a6-
sOlufe merit than are to be
found anywhere else in this
broad land.
Goods bought at Wanna
makers are right, and best Of
their class, while the liberality
of our methods invites you to
the return of anything that
seems to less than completely
meet your wants.
