Sad Experience Told by Richard Mans
field in a Hard Luck Symposium.
A number of gentlemen of the acting
and writing persuasion were sitting in
the Vendome the other evening OK
changing hard luck stories. Everyone
in the party had run up against grim
fate more or less violently at one time
or another. The saddest experience was
told by Richard Mansfield.

Mr.. Mansfield, land I was stone broke
in London. l had exactly shilling in
my pocket, and had not had a meal all

arrayed more gorgeously than Solomon

theater. He hailed me with great joy.
1t was dinner he was to-a dinner
with Lord Cavendish, or some other
member of swelldom. In the flush Of
anticipation my friend said to me:

THE GRACE OF GOD.
It Il . Grace Suited to All Sorts and
Conditions of Men.

n y
Conditions Of Men.
The "variegated" grace of God. So
the original warrants us in rendering it.
It is not one dull, monotonous tone; it
is not even sameness of glory or of beau
ty. 1t is diversified, it is manifold. 1t
glints and glows here and there and
everywhere. The sunlight is sunlight
always, but it flashes ruddy CLEAN
from the ruby and glows as with a
heart of fire in the opal and glitters in
thousand iridescent sparkles on the dia-
mond. Gods grace is Gods grace al
ways, but it's development has different
characteristics in each case to which
it is applied. Gods spirit, His;agent for
coming into immediate contact with the
hearts of men, ''worketh when and
where and how He pleaseth." He trains
Abraham for his career by revealing the
Divine purpose in visions. He makes
Moses fit leader for his people by see
ing to it that he is learned in ''all the
wisdom of the Egyptians" Tie fits
Joshua for the conquest of Canaan by
the discipline of the desert wandering.
He gives to David the gift of sacred
song as well as the martial prowess that
built up the kingdom. He touched the
lips of Isaiah "as with q live coal from
off the altar" He used the practical
Matthew and the impetuous Peter and
the loving John and the whole-hearted
and full-hearted Paul as apostles of the
new dispensation. And so along the
track ofrthe advancing generations and
in the present time the Holy Spirit is
distributing to men of "the manifold
grace of God" 1t is not grace for one
line of conduct only nor for simply one
situation in life. 1t is not grace suited
to one case of mind alone, but to all
sorts and conditions of men. It Is not
grace simply for living, nor alone for
dying, but for each as the occasion de-
mands. 1t is not alone grace that sor
row may be endured, but that happiness
also may be endured with moral safety.
1t is grace for the downcast and the
neglected, and also for those who arc
in places of large influence and power.
1t is grace for the merry-hearted young
Christian, grace for the sober-minded
and mature who bear the burden and
heat of the day, grace for those whose
hoar heads are crowns of glory and who
are looking with calm serenity to the
end of this life and the dawn of eternity.
1t is grace that will be colored by the
medium through which it passes, as
the sunlight is colored by the rich glass
in some cathedral window. Yet it loses
no essential quality, no more than does
the sunlight through 'storied window
richly alight." The glass would be dull,
unmeaning, were it not for the radiance
of the sun poured through it. The hui
man life would be without beauty were
there no Divine grace to eradicate 1t.
But it is obvious that this grace does not
reduce and was not intended to reduce
Christian lives to tedious monotony.
Life means-and grace is life-not me-

other men. One of them was fat man

Another one of the men wore white
vest and polka dot necktie. He did all
the talking, and after Cunningham had
whispered few words in the fellows

Tatman as Thomas w. Bloomfield, the

then said:
"You can pick it off the trees in Bun

cause it circulates too dern fast"
By this time the men were growing
impatient, and Tatman noticed that
they looked more frequently ar Longer
at the carpetbag. He thought it about
time to take his revenge, so he said:
"Well, gentlemen, reckon I'd better
be s-goin', and I'd like to leave that

The men were perfectly willing to
accommodate Farmer Tatman. They

A FRUIT DIET.
Very Often Prevents Recourse to the Use
of Medicines.

vOTy OILen fr6v0ntB n6COuIB0 10 the Use
of Medicines.
Descanting upon the value of fruit
diet on account of its antiscorbutic ac-
ton, medical writer offers some sug-
gestions and makes some statements
which may well be repeated and en-
phasized. He says: This lemon-juine
cure for rheumatism is founded on
scientific facts, and having suffered N.Y.
self from acute govt for the last Is
years, 1 have proved over and over
again the advantages which are OH
tanned from eating fruit. Garrod, the
great London authority on govt, adj
vises his patients to take oranges, lem
ons, strawberries, grapes, pears, etc.
Tardieu, the great French authority,
maintains that the salts of potash
found SO plentifully in fruits are the
chief agents in purifying the blood
from these rheumatic and equity poi.
sons. Perhaps in our unnatural, CIV
ilized society, sluggish action of the
bowels and liver is responsible for more
actual misery than any other ailment.
Headache, indigestion, constipation,
haemorrhoids, and a generally miser-
able condition are but too often the ex-
perience of the sufferer, and to over
come it about half the drugs in the
world are given in all sorts of COM
pounds. But bring in your fruit and
the whole scene changes. If we go
through the back streets of our largo
towns how many pallidfaced, listless-
looking people and children swarm
about us, and they have, as rule,
plenty of food.
'As medicine look upon fruit al
most valuable ally. When the body
is in that breaking-up condition known
as scurvy, the whole medical profess
sion look upon fruit and fresh vege-
tables as the one and only known rem
edy. 1 believe the day will come when
science will use it very much more
largely than it does now in the treat
ment of many of the everyday ailments.
Impure blood means govt, rheumatism,
skin diseases, ricketts, and other
troubles. AS it is proved that fruit will
purify and improve the quality Of the
blood, it must follow that fruit is both
food and medicine combined. In fevers

For rheumatism plenty of lemons are
invaluable. White girls with misera-
BILE, pallid compilations want quart OF
strawberries; where these are not OBJ
tainable, bananas, which contain much
iron, are good substitute. Probably
of all fruits the apple stands unrivaled
for general purposes in the household;
either raw or cooked it can be taken
by nearly everybody, and it contains
similar properties to the more delicate
fruits. To my mind the pear is moro
easily digested than the apple, and for
eating uncooked is superior to it. Dried
fruits should be used when green can
not be obtained. If soaked for a few
hours before cooking, they make cap
ital substitute for fresh fruit, and they
come cheaper to the consumer.'-Good

''Much obliged, gentlemen" and Tat

man once more thanked his friends as
he passed out of the room, closing The
door behind him.
Tatman did not leave the saloon, as
the men expected. By clever dodge
he managed to slip the key of the door
in his pocket before he left the room.
He remained on the outside long enough
to silently turn the bolt in the lock,

as that of Cunningham. Then Bloom.

easy! Why, you could rob that
fool before his eyes and he wouldn't
know it. Hand up the granger's grip

Tatman heard the sound of the grip
sack striking the top of the table. Then
he heard them prying at the lock. Pres
emily he heard the clasps give, and in
another instant a piercing yelp rent the
air. Whack! Crash! Bang! The
chairs were upturned and the table was

for the door.

heavens! They're hornets and the door
is locked"
| The bowls and yelps which followed
brought the bartender and the propri.
etor to the scene. The Bunkum farmer
seized the opportunity to slip out of the
saloon, and as he was passing into the
street he heard the door crash in as
one of the men on the inside dealt il
blow with a chair. Over his shoulder
he saw stream of hornets sail after
the bartender.
Twenty minutes later, from his re
treat in the alley across the street, Tat
man saw his five friends limp.ng out of
the saloon to the ambulance, which
had been called, and which had backed
up to the curbstone.-Inter Ocean.

THE BLEMISHED ONYX.
How God Beauties Even Imperfect HUI
man Character.

During my summers rest among the
mountains last year 1 heard a sermon in
which the preacher introduced the fol-
lowing incident:
A lapidary brought a large and beau
tiful onyx to a distinguished artist for
whom he had obtained many precious
stones for carving.
"See how clear, pure, and transparent
this stone u.s." said the lapidary; what
a fine one for you to exercise your skill
upon were it not for this one fatal
blemish." And he pointed out in one
spot an underlying tinge of iron rust,
which, as he said, ruined the stone"
But the artist, with far-reaching
sight, seized upon the onyx and, having
examined it attentively, purchased it.
With matchless skill and delicacy he
wrought upon the stone, carving the
graceful form of lovely goddess. And
by wonderful exercise of ingenuity,
by sharp cuts of his engraving tool, and
by light and patient touches, he fash
toned the spot which had been thought
an irreparable blemish into a leopard
skin, upon which rested the foot of the
goddess-the contrasting colors enhanc-
ing the beauty of the lovely cameo.
AS the artist by patient skill and
labor changes the unsightly spot on tho
onyx into a beautiful decoration, so
sometimes, does God work upon His
children. He sees in them some fault,
some evil passion which blemishes the
whole character; and He begins to use
the discipline to give that molding
which, by slow processes it may be,
will change the blemish into something
lovely. He may use sharp tools and the
work may be tedious and trying; but if
we submit ourselves to His hand, and
especially if-unlike the passive onyx
we ourselves, being conscious of our
faulty character, use our own earnest
endeavors, latent graces will CLEAN out
where only blemishes were seen. Rash
ness will be wrought into courage;
inertness into gentleness. sluggish
ness into patience; irritabillty into ten
der constituencies; avarice into thrift;
impetousity into earnestrless. While
in place of more glaring defects,
strange transformations will appear
generosity instead of selfishness; hui
mility instead of pride; love instead Of
hate. Thus will the whole character,
by Gods work in us, be beautiful
Christian Work.

Blundors.

Few attributes of character are more
charming than the faculty of gracefully
acknowledging ones errors. The man
who makes blunder and sticks to it
is person with whom argument or
controversy is impossible. The trouble
and time spent in attempting to con-
vince him of the truth are completely
wasted; for he will still believe that
what he has advanced must be right,
even in the face of actual demonstration
that it is wrong. On the other hand, of
the action of one who will admit with
frank and ready courtesy that he has
been mistaken, it may be said that it
"blesseth him that gives and him that
taLes,"-it covers his own retreat with
gracefulness, and gives his adversary q
