An Invalid Stamp Collector

Ednee Brewer, the 12-year-old He~
Springs, Ark, invalid who was known
either personally or through correspon-
dence to people all over the United
States, Is dead. For seven years she
had been unable to walk or move any
part Of her body except her hands and
head, on account Of injuries to her
spine, received by fall when she was
only years old. She was bright
child and could read and write. For a
year or more past she has been collect
ing Cancelled postage stamps, and
friends from all over the United States
were sending them to her. In this
way she supported herself by selling
stamps to dealers. During the past
year she collected 100000 stamps in
this way, for which she received S1OO.
She had to lie on her stomach all the
time, and in that uncomfortable posi-
ton she would work day after day,
writing letters and counting stamps
that had been sent her, but she was al.
ways bright and cheerful.
A few days ago the mails brought her
a copy Of the Washington Post, which
contained notice that she was fraud,
that she was not an invalid. This was
an error, which probably grew out Of
the fact that q Miss Edna Brown, of
Illinois, is also collecting stamps in a
similar way for the support Of an in
valid sister. This notice had the effect
of breaking Ednee Brower's heart, for
she became Ill and died shortly after.
She talked Of the publication all the
while, and said she would collect no
more stamps, for she would rather
starve than be pronounced a fraud A
few moments before she died she open
ed her eyes and asked the physician,
DR.. W. II. Barry, how long it would be
before she could 90 to heaven, then she
closed her eyes as though she had only
fallen asleep,

Bible Law.

In the early days Of interior Missouri,
says the Green Bag, the late Judge E.
cut cord-wood, cleared up his home
stead farm, and was employed, on near
ly every case that came up; for he was
for some years the only lawyer in the
country. He had no books save an old
leather-covered Bible and an odd vol
ume or two Of history; he had only read
law in Kentucky short time during
his youth.
A young attorney from the East set
tied In the little country town, with his
library Of half a dozen new and hand
somely bound law-hooks, and on his
first appearance in court he brought
most Of his library to the Justices Office,
In a fine, beautifully lowered carpet
bag. z. was engaged against him, and
as usual, had not book.
When his adversary drew his books
from the pretty carpet-bag, E. looked
astonished, but quickly recovered his
ready resources, and asked the justice
to excuse him for few moments. He
hurried to his homestead, half mile
away, put his old Bible and histories
into a grain-sack, brought them into
court, and laid them on the table.
The evidence was introduced, and thu
Eastern man, who was for the plaintiff,
made his opening argument, and read
at some length from his textbooks. e.
made his characteristic speech In re-
ply, closed by reading from his old
Bible law just the reverse Of that
by his opponent and took his seat. His
adversary reached over, picked up the
Bible, and looked at it
"Your honor" said he, eagerly ad.
dressing the justice, "this. man lisi a
humbug and a pettifogger! Why, SIR,
this is rhe Bible from which he has pre-
tended to read lawr'
The old justice withered him with a
glance.
"Set down. he thundered. "Set down
What better law can we git than the
Bible?" ~
He decided the case in favor Of the
defendant.

Two Kinds Of Politeness.

An anecdote, told by Frances Power
Cobbe, in her Life" is good illustra-
ton Of the difference between English
and French politeness, and also Of the
defects Of both nations In the matter OF
good manners. Miss Cobbe had friend,
Alice L'Estrange, who was going from
London to Paris alone. Knowing that
q distinguished old French gentleman
Of her acquaintance, Baron de T., was
crossing by the same train. Miss Cobbe
wrote and begged him to look after her
friend on the way.
He replied in the kindest and mosl
graceful manner that he would be de-
lighted to render any service to her
friend.
They met at Charing Cross station,
and no man could be more charming
than the baron made himself in the
train and on the boat. But on arrival
at Boulogne it appeared that the lady's
luggage had either gone astray or been
stopped by the custom-house people.
She was in a difficulty; the train for
Paris was ready to start and the French
officials paid no attention to her en-.
treaty that her trunks should be deliv-
cred and put into the van to take With
her.

crowding, attended with loss Of life,
is the result and at times thousands
of people have been left In Labrador,

Very seldom does any money pass into

usually make good round sum out
of their business, charging whatever
prices they chose, and the unfortunate
fishermen come to grief. During bad

THE ARENA.

For years we have been reading this excel
lent magazine, and in comparing it with other
like publications, we are compelled to acknowl-
edge it head and shoulders above all of its
competitors. B. o. Flower, its editor, is man
of rare ability, excellent judgment and keen
perception, and the success of The Arena is
due to his indomitable perseverance and the
exercise OF the above mentioned qualities. We
can do no better than to quote the Kansas
Korn-Knife, which, in its October issue, says:
The Arena, the monarch of magazines, has
made greater strides toward perfection than
any other publication in this country. 1t is
always abreast of the times, and, we sometimes
think, a little ahead. Its contributors are
among the most profound thinkers of the world:
men and women who are striving to elevate
humanity-trying to teach the people how to
live in such way as to usher in grander age.
No one can read The Arena without being bet
teer for it. By its perusal you in touch
with great minds-giant intellects. There is
nothing frivolous about this magazine. Its hc-
ton is of the highest grade, and tends to enno-
Bile rather than debase. It's poems are gems
of thought, its engravings the finest that art
can produce. Excellent as this magazine has
been in the past, it promises greater things for
the future, and he who fails to peruse its pages
during the coming year will miss rare treat

WHAT A "NEW WOMAN CAN DO.
BY DOROTHY DOLlTTLE

From the Twentieth Century.
Miss Rosie Bloom is one of the women who
are achieving prominence in the labor move
ment. Quite a sympathetic account of her
work during the New York clothing strike has
been published, and we Gull from it the fol-
lowing: "During the nine long weeks of the
strike, Rosie Bloom was untiring in her efforts
OH behalf of the clothing workers, She went
about organizing the women and encouraging
the men. She had been worker for the Wo-
mems Christian Temperance Union i'll Canada
and she entered the fight against the sweating
system at Rochester full of energy and spirit
She commanded respect and obedience, and all
the striking women and girls soon placed the
utmost confidence in her. The men also soon
recognized Miss Blooms emery and ability, and
elected her secretary and treasurer of the
Rochester clothing unions. They put $40 900
into her hands for safe keeping. She put up
the money in envelopes and distributed them
among the most needy of the strikers. The
unions were thoroughly satisfied with the way
she performed her duty. So devoted were the
girl strikers that when she came to this city IS
