The Value of Trifes.
BY MARGARET A. sUDDUTH.

BY MARGARET A.
Tri1es! Are there such things in Gods
universe? Do not our highest resolutions
and greatest encou ragements often date
from the smallest act or coincidence
Heroic deeds, strategic points, heavy
trials-these often spur and inspire us
and for a time cause US to live on higher
planes, but they do not influence our
plans and seal our vows as a word fifty
spoken, a showing of unexpected SYM
pathy, a quiet act of generosity and good
| will, an article read when the heart is
| tender.
There lives in this town a GOO dly
woman, who has been all unconsciously
an encouragement to me. Her "good
times come in talking with the Lord and
| doing little kindnesses for others, as her
busy life permits. When she returns her
dainty laundry, she is apt to lay on top a
spray of orange blossoms or a fragrant
rose with a Bible textcard attached.
When people call to bring her work she
comes out smiling and "happy'' though
her back be SO lame she can scarcely
walk. Her ''good nature" does not conn
from fortunate circumstances nor future
prospects. of wealth and ease, but from
an abiding joy in God and a desire to
make her corner shine.
Calling at her house recently, I could
not make known my business until she
had eagerly told me her ''best news"
"What do you think?" she said, "My
husband has given up tobacco"
THAT is indeed good news" I replied
knowing how she loved cleanliness and
purity. GLOW did it come about9"
"Oh, that is so good, too; it was al
because of that precious paper, the Union
Signal, and I wanted you to know it."
"That makes me happy, also. Do you

eyes, it was that article on Smoke
Houses where the writer told how un
comfortable tobacco made many people
who travel"
"Oh, yes, that was an editorial. ! will
write the editors at once, as it will give
them satisfaction"
"No, you write it for the paper, SO thai
all the readers can see it, and tell them
that my husband said, BY the grace O
God, l quit liquor, and now by his grace,
I'll give up tobacco Oh, 1 wish all men
would stop just that way and prepare
their bodies for the Lord to live in."
That was in one sense a trifle (?) but il
encouraged me more than many great
things that have come into my life. It is
| 80 good to know that ones art icles are
really read and exert an influence. I said
to myself, I will never write, unbelieving,
again. When l go back to my desk, ii
will be with increased sense OF the power
of the printed page and the influence that
the simplest statement on it may have to
some reader. = y = =

to bear exquisite roses, and in my
former visits home I have so greatly
enjoyed them. The place has recently
changed ownership. The bushes still
bear-a little, but the flowers cling on
until dried up, and before long there will
be no fresh blossoms. We must be
generous with our talents or they will
surely rust without u.s. Cotton, California.

ever been paid a woman in the South was
that bestowed upon Frances E. Willard,
during her recent Southern tour, by the
Legislature of Mississippi adjourning in
a body to hear her address.
Miss Belle Kerney, of Mississippi, in
writing of "The Chieftain in Mississippi
says:
"The surrender of Southern women to
Frances E. Willard has been most com-
plete. She is more beloved than Gny other
woznaa. Our people regard her as the
acme of goodness and greatness, and give
her the most loyal homage. When Miss
Willard came to jackson fifteen years
ago, no one heraled her arrival or cared
about it; no one knew whether she found
a shelter or not; only a very few troubled
themselves to 60 and hear what she had
to say.
"For months before her visit this time,
the leaders of the W. G. T. U. work, in
the most prominent towns, besieged the
state officers with appeals that she be
sent to them, promising to secure halls,
churches and opera houses, pledging to
pay any amount of money to secure her,
the business men in one place backing
the women in their endeavors and using
every possible influence to get her.
Unfortunately she had time only for two
lectures, SO it was decided she should go
to jackson and Vicksburg, as these
towns were on the line of her travel and
it was especially desired that she should
address the Legislature in jackson and
create sentiment for the abolition of the
liquor traffic in Vicksburg. The
resolution presented both in the ''Senate
and House to that effect, was carried on
a wave of tumultaous enthusiasm"
April %, Frances Willard and Anna
Gordon sail for England, to remain until
September. Lady Isabel Somerset, whose
guests they are to be, will return with
them in the autumn to be present at our
National Convention, and it is hoped to
remain in America a much longer time.

The tobacco habit grows on q man until
