BETTER WAY TO HELP THE POOR.

4 BETTER WAY TO Help THE POOR.
To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: With regard to DR.. Rainsford's late pulpit
utterance, severely criticised there Is certainly
something to be said on both sides OF the question
II rich people desire TO give employment TO the poor
they could do great good and accomplish that object
by building model tenements. 1t is a question, GER
tainly, whether the amount Of evil in the way OF
loose living and general decentralization Of char
acter resulting from lavish luxury be not an offset
TO any of good done by the diffusion of worl,

A TRUE HERO.
Though Complete Physical Wreck, q Chi
cago Man Lives For Others.

Though a Complete Physical Wreck, Chi
cago Man Lives For Others.
Eighteen years physical wreck, laid
upon his back, with the principal joints
of the body as rigid as iron, and yet
with brain as bright and active and
useful as many of the most active men
of Chicago, describes the condition OF
one whom we often see as we pass his
office window. He is lawyer and has
quite good paying business, although
to see him You would wonder how he
could hold pen. He is the editor OF
paper called The Cripples' Friend, which
is bright and CHEEKY. He is the head OF
a society for the relief of the needy, but
especially cripples, by raising funds for
them and getting suitable employment
and places of usefulness suited to each
case. He ia also attorney for some soci-
ety that seeks the enforcement OF law
and the protection Of innocent people
from imposition, and he is ready to as
sist the churches in their work and do
good in all directions. qss -.
This man is an example OF what
Christian can do under difficulties by
the grace of God. Many would say that
they could do nothing, but depend on
others TO be fed and cared for as babes.
But not so with this man. He not only
( maintains himself, but makes himself
! blessing all around. With no hope OF
ever rising from his cot, except as lifted
by other hands, he patiently works ant
waits for the coming of his'Lord. How
MANY there are who, with strong
healthy bodies, use their powers only t.
drown their souls in destruction ant
perdition christian Instructor.

The Motionless Tiger.

Now and then a soldier has been
found kneeling on the battlefield as II
about to take aim at the enemy, but
stone dead. A bullet i'll the brain had
converted him into statue OF himself.
Captain Forsyth, in his Highland OF
Central India, Z" tells Of similar effect
produced by an explosive shell on
tiger. .
The captain, while in the howdah OF
his trained elephant hunting tiger,
saw the beast crouching under a bush
ON the bank of q ravine. He got steady
shot and fired three ounce shell at the
tigers broad forehead.
To his surprise. for the distance was
but 80 yards, there was no result. Not
a motion Of the tiger acknowledged the
shot.
He rode round quarter of the circle
but still the tiger remained motionless'
but looking intently in the same direc-
ton. Growing more and more amazed
the captain rode nearer, with his rifle
ON full cock, ut the tiger did not move.
Then he caused the elephant to kick the
beast. The tiger fell over. He was stone
dead. The she'll had struck him full IL
the center of the forehead, burst IN his
b,ain and killed him instantly.

Hs JUST STANDS STILL.
That Is His Business, and He Makes Fun
For the Crowd.


ANY man car have lots of fun in this
world if he only Knows how TO start out
for it. No hard work il necessary. This
is proved by the fact that the man who
probably furnishes more fun for himself
and other folks than any single individ-
ual on or off the stage doesn't do sin-
gle thing but stand still.
Probably every man, woman and child
in Chicago has seen standing in front OF
a big business house at the corner of
Clark and Madison streets tall, well
built colored man, wearing a bottle
green coachman's livery, white helmet
and white gloves. His name is Alphonso
Costello. He was formerly member OF
the city police force and has been pri-
vate detective and constable. His duty
now is really only to attract attention
TO the house where he is employed and
to act as usher TO patrons who come In
carriages.
Some men would get mighty tired
and lonesome with nothing to do but
stand in front Of big store all day, but
he doesn't. Whenever time hangs heavi-
ly on his hands and he feels the need OF
recreation. he strikes statuesque posi-
ton and fixes his eye ON the advertise
ment of "sure death to cockroaches"
sign across the street
The attitude never fails to attract the
attention of passersby. AS soon as one
person stops to satisfy himself whether
sit" is a statue OF a real, live man the
fun begins. Everybody else stops to look
too. The comments of the crowd make
no impression ON the figure standing be-
fore it. Then the more inquisitive-anc
that doesn't bar the gentler sex-begir
poking with parasols or their fingers
"to see if the thing will move.
Alphonso catches his breath and an
other crowd He repeats the trick may
be 90 times day, and it always work
to his satisfaction and that of the clerk
inside. -Chicago Inter Ocean.

Ills rssrg Reputation as Dobater AMI
Story Teller.
One man in Gentryville, Ind, a Mr..
Jones, the storekeeper, took Louisville
paper, and here Lincoln went regularly
to read and discuss its contents. All the
men and boys Of the neighborhood gath
cred there, and everything which the
paper related was subjected to their
keen, shrewd common sense. 1t was not
long before young Lincoln became tho
favorite member Of the group and the
one listened to most eagerly. Politics
was warmly discussed by these Gentry
Vile citizens, and it may be that sitting
on the counter of Jones' grocery Lin
coin even discussed slavery. 1t certainly
was one of the live questions of Indiana
ut that date.
Young Lincoln was not only winning
in these days in the Jones' grocery store
q reputation as debater and story tell
err, but he was becoming known as kind
of backwoods orator. He could repeat
with effect all the poems and speeches
in his various school readers, he could
initiate to perfection the wandering
preachers who came to Gentryville, and
he could make political speech so stir
ring that he drew q crowd about him
every time he mounted stump. The
| applause he won was sweet, and fire.
auently he INDUCED his gifts when no
| ought to have been at work-so thought
| his employers and Thomas, his father.

pushed farmers to see the men who
ought to have been cutting grass or

ever he mounted stump to develop q

Yesterdays sermon. In his fondness fol
matchmaking he attended all the trials
of the neighborhood and frequently
walked 10 miles to Bonneville to attend
court.
He wrote az we'll as made speeches
