Entitled To the Prize.

Some years ago there lived in Eng.
land n certain bishop who was extreme
ly pompous. and very fond of impres.
sing upon the minds of the poorer peo.
pie the evil of'doing wrong. As they
never seemed to do aught but wrong IN
the worthy mans opinion, 1t some
times became irksOme to these people
to hear him constantly admonishing
them to do right. One of the bishops
habits was to visit the miners n short
distance from his city, and his presence
grew familiar to these toilers. During
one of his calls he found n group OF
them talking together, and after few
preliminary words on his customary
subject Of doing right, he asked them
what they were talking Of.
"You see." said one of the men. 1--WE
found n kettle. and us has been er-try,
ing who can tell the biggest loi to own
the kettle.
The bishop was duly surprised, and
read the men lecture In which he
spoke Of how strongly the Offense OF
lying had been impressed upon him
when he was young. and how he had
never told lie In the whole course of
his life. He had hardly finished when
one of the men cried out:

rHR CHILDREN WHO SAVED HAMBURG.
Hamburg was besicged. Wolf, tho
merchant, returned slowly to his home
one morning. Along with the other
merchants of the city, he had been
helping to defend the.yalls against the
enemy; and so constant was the fight
ing that for n whole week he had worn
bis armor day and night. And now
he thought bitterly that all his fight
ing was useless, for on tho morrow
want OF food would force them to open
the gates.
As he passed through his gates, he
noticed that his cherry trees were COW
cred with ripe fruit, 80 large and juicy
that the very sight was refreshing.
At that moment thought struck him.
He knew how much tho enemy was
suffering from thirst What would
they not give for the fruit that hung
UNDECIDED on the trees of his orchard?
Might no not, by means OF his cher
ries, secure safety for his city?
Without II moments delay, no put
his plan into. practice, for no knew
there was no time to be lost il tho city
was to DO saved. He gathered to-
gether three hundred of tho, children
OF the city, all dressed in white. and
loaded them with fruit from his or
cnard. Then the gates wore thrown
opon, md they sot out on their strange
errand.
When the leader Of the army saw
the gates of tho city open and the
band of little whito.robed children
marching out, many of them nearly
hidden by the branches which they
carried, he Mt onco thought it was
some trick by which the towspe0ple
were trying to deceive him while pre-
pairing for an attack on his camp. As
|
bered his cruel vow, and was on the
point of giving orders that they should
all he put to death.
| 3ut when he saw the little ones 40
close at hand, SO pale aud thin from
want of food. he thought of his own
children at home, and he could hardly
keep back his tears. Then, as his
thirsty, wounded soldiers tasted the
cool, refreshing fruit which the chill
dren had brought them, cheer went
up from the camp, and the general
knew that he " as conquered, not by
force OF arms, but by the power oi
kindness aud pity.
When, the children returned. the
general sent along with them wagons
la,len with food for the starving peo-
pie of the city, and the next day
signed treaty of peace with those
whom he bad vowed to destroy.
For many years afterward, as the
daylcame rotnd on which this eyeut
took place, it was kept us a holiday,
aud called ''The Feast of the Cher!
ries." Large numbers of children ia
white robes marched through the,
streets, each one bearing n braucii
with lunches of cherries on it. But
the old writer who tells the story is
careful to say that the children keph
the cherries for themselves.
Every age of the worlds history has
its tales Of war and bloodshed and
cruelty, Of wild struggles and OF grsap
victories; but nowhere among tkem
all do We find the story OF i more
beautiful victory than that which was,
won by tho littlo children who saved.

1t is not surprising to see all the ex-
Organism and Georgeism are two forms

Bryan makes the currency his medium;
George, the land. But the result is the
same; it is the co~nfiscatfon of the prop

The effect Of Georges election as Mayor
of New York would be less disastrous
than that Of Bryan as President only in
such degree as his powers would be less
in range and extent. On the whole,
Henry George is now the most mis-

discomfort, the promoter of anarchicaI
and the destroyer of public
morality. Organism itself has its begin

and after his defeat it will fall into
