Needham of the Reform School in re-
gard TO the employment of d. F. San
ford as mechanical instructor at that
institution. Mr. Scott said he had
found out the fact of his being an excel

satisfactory. Under the circumstances

AS THEY ARE.

Self-constituted sages draw strange fancies
from afar,
And mock the man who sees and paints
things earthly as they are;
They like to mount to airy heights on fan
cy's feathery wings,
But scott at those who tell stern truths Of
earth-lifes' common things;
Perhaps they mount so high. that things so
plain to people here,
From dizzy elevations in distorted shapes
appear
And yet we live in daily touch with haggard
things and poor,
We see the lowly sphere in which men suf-
fer and endure:
The touch of poverty and pain the over
crop of ills,
The dissipation and distress which curses
ere it kills;
All these are near us every day, stern
spectres of each hour,
What wonder that some paint it all in
words of pitying power?
We cannot always soar aloft mid sunsets
golden bars,
Float with the eagles in ozone among the
silvery stars,
Sail out on seas of crystal to the islands
of the blest,
And bask in calms and tropic palms which
glorify the west;
Some must do daily where the city's
pulses beat,
And note the misery which lines full many
a squalid street.
Here settle dregs left fostering there by
eddies of lifes sea,
Where demons of most horrid mien feast
long in ghoulish glee:
Where passions fired by alcohol make cess
pools black with lust:
Where happiness is hollow and joys crum-
BILE into dust;
Where vice carouses, buzzard-like, on hu-
man carrion fed,
Where conscience wears coat or mail
and principle is dead.
Some painter with the pen must sketch
these things with faithful touch,
Not palliating evil or condoning over
much;
Not softening the glooms of hell or padding
lurid truth
With slken words as cushions used to
break the fall Of youth
Let human beings yet uncursed see these
things as they are,
And knowing what has peopled hell sheer
off, unscorched, afar.
We need the faithful art which shows the
plain, unwelcome fact,
Which scornS disguise or vain deceit IN
purpose, word or act
Which, not despising fancy, yet the truth
unvarnished knows,
And does not care to paint the reptile pos
ing as the rose.
We human beings may not yet soar bird
like in the air,
So near the sun that dazzled eyes see
neither i'll nor care,
But see, reveal and then relieve soul-sorrow
everywhere.

! DOCTOR RENA'S go.
AMUSEMENT CRUSADE.
BY JEANETTE S. BENTON.


THE pretty suburb of Hyde Park was
in a riot of greenness and bloom un-
der the hot June sun. The bay-win-
dowed and balconied Merrill house
looked terribly imposing to John Hath
away as he went slowly up the broad
walk. A sound of merry girlish voices
fioated through the window, and he
walked still slower. He was a diffident
man, and would much rather have faced
battery than gone through with the
errand he was bound on; but he must,
and big, strong man as he was, his eyes
grew wet as he thought of the reason.
He rang the bell.
81 should like to see Miss Rena Mer-
rill," he said to the servant.
She looked a little surprised, then di-
rected him to a chair in the hall, and
went into the parlors. A moment later
a girl came out, q very pretty girl. airy
and proudlooling.
did you wish to see me?" she asked,
wonderingly.
He crushed his hat nervously in his
hands.
Eyes, marm," he answered. ''I sup
pose l came on very queer errand, but
| had to-"
And his eyes filled with tears.
"Of course you don't know us. My
name is John Hathaway. We live back
here about three blocks. But we know
all about you. Time and time again we
have heard of your beautiful speaking,
and my wife has wanted to hear you
always. Since she has been sick she sort
of seemed to have it on her mind all the
time. Yesterday she heard the doctor
telling me he was afraid she couldn't
pull through, and she said: John, if
am going to die, there's just one thing
want. want you to ask Miss Merrill
to come and recite for me- Sick people
get fGnciful sometimes, you know" he
said, opologetically. II hope you'll ex-
cuse the liberty"

thing?" the girl repeated. "Why, how
funny! l am sure don't know" look
ing doubtfully at the unmistakablc
work-day aspect of the man before her.
''Does she want me to come now?"
1.-THE doctor didn't say how long it
would be-" he answered simply.
People who did not like Rena Merrill
said she was spoiled. Possibly she was,
but something in the pathetic hopeless
ness of the visitors voice and the sad
ness of his homely, honest face sudden
ly touched her.
"Of course I'll CO." she said impul-
Eively, pinning on her wide, white hat;
"now, too. I'll be back sometime" she
remarked cavalierly to the wondering
girls in the doorway; "just amuse your
selves until l come"
The man hurried ahead, and stood
waiting in the doorway of trig, box
like little house. Everything was clean
and still; an air of solemn expectancy
brooded over the place.

1t is likely that the uniform worn at
the present time by the soldiers of the
Salvation Army will be the one used in
the Klondike, though big overcoats will
perforce be the most prominent article
of apparel for the men and heavy fur
wraps for the women. A small brass

the pilgrims. This latter adjunct will
doubtless make the army exceedingly
popular among the gold diggers, who
have heard no music save the savage
roar of the wind for many weary
months.
The men and women who are going
to Klondike say that they know what
is in store for them, and do not finch
at the prospect.
''We have grown accustomed to in

think it is possible to receive any great

is offered to us right here in the big

THE MINISTER'S FEE.
1t Was "A Good One, But He Did Not

Know 1t for Nearly n Year.
Many stories have been related of the
odd form adopted by eccentric young
people in presenting the marriage fee
to the minister, but not one have heard
that quite equaled in unique method the
story tod by the minister of an Eps-
copal church in the northwest section
of the city.
a young couple was to be married.
and each party being a scion of a
wealthy family the minister naturally
looked forward to a generous reward
for his offices.
The ceremony was performed. and
the groom, at the proper time, handed
the minister an envelope little larger
than the ordinary size, and the con-
tents appeared to be of such soft thick
ness as to satisfy the clergyman that
his hope had been realized.
In the privacy of his own apartments
the seal was broken, when, alas! all
pleasant anticipations faded away, for
there was but-a pair of gloves-a very
fine. very elegant pair, tits true, but
still only gloves.
And so the man of God swallowed his
disappointment and laid the souvenir
away.
Nearly year afterward. when spe-
cial occasion called for their use, the
minister bethought him of the gloves
and brought them to the light.
He found considerable difficulty in
fitting them to his hands, and, upon ex-
animation, 10! in each finger. neatly
