Miss Helen Gould's gift of 500
900 to the Government has been
accepted and her check for that
amount has been received at the
Treasury Department. She can
not in person go to war in behalf
Of our country but generously has
she contributed to the war fund.
She has received an abundance Of
this worlds goods, and freely
should she give to causes which
alleviate the oppressed, forsaken
and desolate. Gifts like this for
the proclamation of the gospel in
home and foreign lands for Christ's
sake, is treasure laid up In heaven.

A WORTHY ENTERPRISE.

Rev. w. B. Crumpton, who
was in our city recently, is ell
ragged in work which should en-
I;st tbe svro, r,othy and earnest CO.
noeration Of every woman IA. Ne''
tncl<v, We We is seeking to estab-
lish at Georgetown College an EN-
dowment of $4,000, to be called
the Woman's Endowment, to aid
poor girls in receiving an educa-
ton. Everything along the line
of endowments for our colleges
has been for the boys. AS DR..
Crumpton truly says, Nobody
seems to care for the education OF
a poor girl beyond that she can
get in the neighborhood school. ,:
At Georgetown College the girls
have been put on an equality with
the boys in everything except the
beneficiary fund, Nobody has
provided anything for them. Ev.
cry woman should be represented
in this endowment for some
amount. The plan as DR.. Crump,
ton explained it, is for obligations
to be given extending over five
years, by the end Of which time
he hopes to have secured the en-,
dowment. Very large donations
from individuals is not expected;
it will be the many small contribu,
tons which will aggregate the one
large amount. Georgetown Col.
lege is one of the first colleges Of
the South, and in this enterprise
Of caring for the poor girls it leads
all others. Have we not reason
to expect the aggressive women
of Kentucky to take in hand this
laudable enterprise and carry it on
to completion1 We are sure that
we are not mistaken in the women
of this community in that they
will respond nobly. :."jf

CASTING OFF A LINE.
Dir. Glimby Meets With q Little Expe-
49,. -yience on New York Wharf

! -yience on New York Wharf
I'm afraid there's one towboat
captain who would not give me a
job if should apply" said Mr..
Blimby, land that is the man whose
line cast off in South street the
other day. The tug was lying along
the end of the wharf, hanging by a
single line, with the loop around the
head of Spite, and the other end
made fast around the forward bits
aboard the boat. The captain was
in the pilothouse, and he called to
the deokhand that he guessed they
would go up to pier 9la was
standing on the end Of the wharf,
and when the deckhand began cast
ing the line off from the bits
started for the Spite to cast it off
there. WA
II like boats, and I've loafed
along South street a good deal, and
I've seen a million men cast off
lines, but it's a funny thing ! had
never cast OFF one myself, but i was
going to now. All the men / ever
saw cast off a line just took hold of
it and lifted it right off. easy. l
took hold of this one with perfect
confidence, but the first thing I
knew it sagged down and stuck on
the other side of the Spite, and 1t
did the same thing again when /
tried, which did somewhat hastily
from another point. It didn't come
off easily at all, and finally had to
take hold of It with both hands and
lift it up carefully clear of the spile.
while the captain, looking out of
the pilothouse window, and the
deokhand, standing by the bits and
looking up at me from the deck,
smiled good humoredly atmy clum-
siness. By that time had discov-
cred that In casting of q line as In
most other things, a man must learn
how to do Il before he can do the
work we'll. But the worst was yet
TO come. ~ k-vyr~v, .Fs-,e, q f,
t'Ihad always observed that when
a man cast of a line he hung on 10
it for q moment and walked along
the wharf till he was somewhere
near abreast of the man who was
taking It in aboard and then gave II
a little toss, 80 as to keep II out Of
the water, keeping 1t dry to make II
last longer and make 1t easier and
pleasanter to handle. When ] had
finally got this line of, held on 30
it and walked with IL toward the
boat to toss the loop aboard, but
noticed that the man on deck took
up the slack very promptly and full
ly as came along. He didn't give
me credit for knowing anything
about keeping the hne out Of the
water. He was prepared 30 zee ma
just simply drop 1t when I struck
the stringpiece, and he was taking
up the slack short 60 that he could
keep it out OF the water himself
when / let 60. sf .a...gslr
''And 30 they called away, per-
fectly good natured about II, but
very evidently taking me for a
landlubber Just down from the
hills. New York Sun.
