A SOFT ANSWER.

A tramp steamer had just been tied
to a wharf in Boston. From her dingy
hold there leaped upon the dock a man
who was evidently a stoker. He was
black with CRIME, reckless Of face,
eager for release from an almost I'M
bearable confinement, and ready for
any animal qualification for which he
could find opportunity.
RS AS he emerged upon the main street,
looking probably for the nearest sa-
loon, he saw a colored woman walking
sedately toward him, carrying basket
of apples. Full of mischief, the stoker
stumbled against her, upset the basket
upon the pavement, and then stood
aside to laugh at the invectives which
he supposed his trick would bring
forth.
But the old colored woman did not
even look at her tormentcr. She bent
and quietly picked up her apples.
There was not even an expression of
resentment upon her face. She bent
here and stopped there, and when she
had recovered@he her last apple she turned
upon the astonished man with a. pa
thetic dignity that forced respect, and
said, in tones of simple kindness: I,
God forgive you, my son, as do"
The rudeness that had counted en- a
bitter berating was softened in an in
slant The mans coarse lips parted,
his hard eyes fell, he tried to speak;
then he thrust his hands into his pock-
cts and pulled out all the silver he had.
This he forced upon the silent woman.
'Take it, he said, and then added,
as she looked at him in establishment,
God bless you, mother! "I'll never
do it again. :, y
That which Is probably one Of the
hardest sayings Of Christ to accept,
one that has received the ridicule of
centuries, is illustrated by this incl
dent. The principle involved in the
command to turn the other cheek to
the, smiter is utterly antagonistic. to
natural human impulse. a soft an
swer turneth away wrath" isga form of
presentation Of the same principle, that
in theory, at least, is, somewhat readily
acknowledges and its truth was never
more emphatically verified than in the
incident we have described. ..s II

sion has been unable to secure any
agreement between the stock yards
company and the railroad companies
in regard to these charges. After con-
sidering all the testimony offered, and
having heard the arguments Of coun-

that there should be no reduction
made in the present schedule of live

of Illinois. The petition will there

not be regarded as detrimental to

less they are very noticeable. It is
true, they may take alarm at some of
these harmless lamentations lest thew
find something more serious. House
hold consumers have heard much dis
cussion about tuberculosis, diphtheria,
typhoid fever, scarlet fever and tyro-
toxicon poisoning, and they are fear
full lest these reports should be wen

Shredded Corn Fodder 1t is of re-
cent date that the full value of the
corn plant as q forage stuff has be-

This has been brought about by the
use Of shredders which. as their name
suggests, tear the fbres OF the stalks
apart and prepare them for easy mas
tication, rendering them so acceptable
to animals, especially cattle, that they
devour them with relish. Before the

was the practice in the North where
