Three Famous Yale Societies.

The Inauguration of the society system
which now exists ut Yale was one of the
most important steps in the evolution Of
the old simple college into life of hum
ming, organized activity. In the year 1889
there came into being "a society which is at
the very core Of Yale life and upon which
the whole unique system is based, the An
cient Society of the Skull and Bone, now
known as Skull and Bones. 1t was fol-
lowed In 1S41 by Scroll and Key and In
1883 by VOLTS Head, each in turn called
into existence by the increasing numbers
Of the classes, or, as it was less euphemis-
tically put, TO give community and sweet
ness to the eating of sour grapes" This
was only In the birth of each, however,
for they are now moro nearly equal, al
though the prestige of age and achieve
ment remains with "Bones," and this tri-
umyirate sways the college world. raises
to preferment or prosoribes with absolute
power.-Judge Henry E. Rowland in July

WHEN MOODY LEFT HOME.
The Evangelist Tells of His First Dreary
Journey Into the Busy World.

"There are acts of love shown me when
/ was mere child that have influenced
my whole life,' writes Evangelist Dwight
l.. Moody to his Bible class in the July
Ladies' Home Journal "There were nine
of us children, and my widowed mother
had very great difficulty in keeping the
wolf from the door. My next older brother
had found place for me to work during
the winter months in neighboring vii
lage about ID miles away, and early one
November morning we started out together
on our dismal journey. Do you know
November has been IA dreary month to me
ever since? AS we passed over the river
and up the opposite side of the valley we
turned to look back for u last look at home.
1t was to be my last view for weeks, for
months, perhaps forever, and my heart
well nigh broke ut the thought. That was
the longest journey l ever took, for 10
miles was more to me ut 10 than the world s
circumference has ever been since.
"When ut last we arrived in the town,
had hard work to keep back my tears, and
my brother had to do his best to cheer me.
Suddenly he pointed to some one and said:
There's man thatll giveyo cent. He
gives one to every new boy that comes TO
town.. was so afraid that he would pass
me by that planted myself directly in his
path. He was feeble, old, white haired
man. AS he came up to us my brother
spoke to him, and he stopped and looked
at me. Why, have never seen you be-
fore. You must be II new boy, he said.
He asked me about my home, and then,
laying his trembling hand upon my head,
he told me that, although l had no earthly
father, my heavenly Father loved me, and
then he gave me bright new cent. 1 do
not remember what became of that cent,
but that old mans blessing has followed
me for over 90 years, and to my dying day
shall feel the kindly pressure of that hand
upon my head. a loving deed costs very
little; but, done in the name of Christ, it
will be eternal. This divine love is what
the church of God needs today. We dis
cuss and argue over methods and means;
but, after all, the solution of the problem

tinguish at first, but presently it took
form and l could catch the 'call' l had
taught her. 1t was the letter X, re-
peated over and over again, just as all
operators do when they want some
other operator who is not at his desk to
respond promptly. Then it was the
clickety-click-click of the letters that
formed my name, and smiled to think
that as child learning to talk says
mamma first, 80 Kate was saying first
in this new language of the wires that
she was learning the name of her
teacher.

a dream in the sensations was expe-
riencing. l could feel that it was
something more than dream. 1 knew
that some sound must be shaping my
dream for me, and without knowing
what was doing and with an odd feel
ing of the very peculiar key we had put
on our instruments took up he ham
mer and sounded my 'call' to Kate, in
response TO what was hearing. In
stantly the call, was repeated and my
name followed. Now l seemed to
throw off the nightmare, and i reused
myself. Striking with the hammer on
the door called to Kate by name, and
then distinct enough, though muffied,

outer door, and Kate was telling me in
the mysterious manual Of Morse, q

nation was and she would do the rest.

and had never thought of it. Neither
had thought of telegraphing to her
from my prison; and it was only be-

thought of sending word through that
dull door to me with a hammer. She
has since told me that some men never
will learn anything unless it is ham,

word. Anyway, when three minutes
after had told her what the combina-

"And you lived happy ever after?"
l inquired, after 30 long a silence that
l was surprised at myself.
"My boy" said the banker, earnest
ly, "she has saved my life a hundred
times since that, and wouldn't trade
her for all the other women in the
world. And when she sees this story

"She must draw the line some

An American Discovery.
Judge Morrow, an Eminent Chemist of
Springfield, o., Finds Remedy that
Promises to Revolutionize the
Practice of Medicine.

The present year will always be notable
one in the history of the nineteenth century
for the many wonderful discoveries it re-
cords. Every branch of science has made
great strides, the most remarkable OF which,
perhaps, have been made in the practice OF
medicine. Now comes the information that
John Morrow, an eminent chemist of
Springfield, Ohio, has discovered a remedy
that promises to be almost infaIlible in cur
ing all diseases of the kidneys. So many Of
the most important advances of medical
science are made by foreign scientists, that
such u report is not only OF great import but
highly gratifying as well.
Morrow's discovery, while the true in
gradients have not yet been published, is in
the form OF yellow tablet and is known to
the medical world as Morrow's Kidneoids.
This remarkable remedy has been tried
in sore OF the most severe cases of chronic
and Acute diseases of the kidneys, and in
each case has quickly produced the most
beneficial results.
The fact that death from Bright's disease
shows daily increase is an unpleasant in
dication that disorder Of the kidneys is fast
becoming an atliiction Of the human race,
and any remedy that promises sure relief is
inded a blessing to mankind.
The symptoms OF deranged kidneys are
too apparent to require a physicians dag
nosis; pain in the side and back, aching
bones, a continual feeling of languor, are
followed by impaired vision, loss of appe-
tite, swelling of hands and feet, and 80 on
until Bright's disease gets hold
1t is 80 insidious in its attack that the
busy man or woman too often associates
the symptoms with some trifling ailment,
until the development Of the disease causes
a complete collapse. With Morrow's Kid
neoids it is intended to remedy all this by
enabling anyone to stop the progress of the
disease and effect permanent cure without
recourse TO a physician or the abandonment
of their duties.
1t is said that one OF the largest drug con-
Germs in the United States is negotiating for
the absolute control of Morrow's Kidneoids,
which they intend placing in every drug
store, where it can be procured by any one
without the necessity of securing a physi-
clans prescription.

Service.

A little stream flowed from fountain,
And as 1t rippled along;
Turned eager, worshiping eyes
Toward the source of its beauty and song
Then murmured, II fam would remain,
Dear Spring of Life, with thee,
Be reabsorbed in thy splendor,
That were highest Joy for me-"
But gravely the fountain answered,
II need thee not, my child.
Go and fulfill thy mission
In the desert parched and wild"
So, humbly and sadly, the brooklet
Went on its lonely way,
And to throngs of thirsty mortals
Became a strength and stay.
Still onward, until its little life
Was merged in the ocean vast,
So, one day 1t reached the Fountain
For love of self was past Selected

Some Time.

Last night my darling. as you slept
thought / heard you sigh.
And to your little crib crept,
And watched space thereby
And then 1 stopped and kissed your brow,
For obi love youso
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you will know!
Some time when, in darkened place
Where others come to weep,
Your eyes shall look upon face
Calm In eternal sleep;
The voiceless lips, the wrinkled brow,
The patient smile will show
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you will know
Look backward, then, into the years,
And see me here tonight
See, my darlingl how my tears
Are falling as l write;
And feel once more upon your brow
The kiss of long ago
You are too young to know 1t now,
But some time you will know.

POETRY.
Her New Idol.

My love has ceased to talk Of love,
And am sore afraid
That I have ceased to cast spell
Upon this gentle maid.
We used to walk in shady lanes
And live on tender looks,
We used to sit and muse upon
The banks OF running brooks.
1 used to read the poets words,
While she, in rapture, bent
To catch the rhythmic cadences,
Both eager and intent.
She used to sigh for Launcelot
And weep for Claribel,
Her tears erst flowed for Petrarch and
The one he loved so well.
She used to love to hear the birds
And watch the feeding kline,
And, az we strayed afield, permit
Her hand 10 rest in mine.
All, happy day, forever gonel
My case, II seems, is fiat.
She's got bike, and all she does
IL ride and talk Of that.

Brake brake, brake,
With your foot on the foremost wheel.
And never let up on the tempting slope,
No matter how you may feel.
IT'S well for the scorcher bold
As he skins on his level way,
With the toeclips firm on his wary feet,
And his ninety gear at play.
But the coasting fool goes on
To a smash. up under the HILL
With splintered bones and fractured skull,
And his good wheel cold and still
Brake, brake, brake,
With your foot on your front wheel true,
And the broken pate of that imbecile's fate
WIN never occur to you. Puck.
