HE WAs REApY no sHour

Last night, shortly after 10 o'clock,
the Wayfarer went to Fourth and Mar
kel streets to take a Delaware avenue
car for home. On the corner there was
a small group. 1t consisted OF a rather
nice-looklng young woman in the habit
OF a Salvation Army worker the cos
tune becoming her exceedingly well;
two young men, also Salvation Army
workers. and a large, stout man, his
clothes rather the worse for wear, and
his features indicating that his life had
been anything hut an abstemiOus one.
This stout man was doing the talk
ing when the Wayfarer took his stand
on the crossing.
1T came to me all OF a sudden" he
said. when j went there / was under
the influence of liquor, and, as you
know, went 10 sleep for a time, but
when / gave my heart to God it all
left me- j gave everything to Him,
and my heart seemed entirely changed.
/ couldn't do a thing but shout Halle
luiah! / feel like doing it now, right
here on the street. / made up my mind
that II l could not get a nights lodg-
ing. and had to walk the streets all
night to keep warm, I would shout
Halleuiah' for / couldn't helD it"
'You must not give the glory to us,
but to the Lord" said the sweet-faced
young SalvatiOnist, "for we are but the
servants OF Jesus Christ. You will
come to our meeting tomorrow night?"
He gave a reply in the affirmative,
and walked UP Market street towards
Fifth Presently he returned. walked
past the friends who had accomplished
his salvation proceeded to the south
side OF Fourth street, then returned TO
the group, and said something in an
undertone to the young woman. She
reached in the pocket of her blue
macintosh, drew forth a book contain
ing tracts and other things connected
with her religious work, then her hand
went into the pocket again and she
brought out something which she gave
to the new recruit. 10 may have been
ten cents, or IL may have been q quar-
ter Whatever It was, it seemed to
please the man nightly. She pointed
TO a lunch place on Fourth street, but
he shook his head and indicated that
he preferred to get his refreshments on
the coast, being more familiar, in all
probability, with that section Of the
town. She looked disappointed and du-
bious, but let him go his way with
out pressing the matter
A Riverview car came along and one
Of the men boarded it. Behind 1t was
the Delaware avenue car, and ittwas
taken by the young woman and the
other young man.
II may be that the man who went
down on the coast abused the goodness
of the young woman by spending her
money for drink instead of for food
and lodging, but he is entitled to the
benefit of the doubt.

INNOCENCE ON DANGEROU
GROUND.

AAAO0ANAt
There came near being a fight at the
railroad station last evening. Two men
were talking over a grievance which
one had against a third man who was
absent. The Wayfarer occupied a seat
not far from them.
He thinks I'm a fool" said one OF
the men, but he is mistaken"
no answered the other, with per-
feet innocence and the best OF inten-
tions, 1T never does for one man to
judge another by his looks"
What do you mean by that?" asked
the first speaker in an angry tone.
BY what2' inquired the other.
What did / say?"
The first speaker looked at him in
tently for a second and then remarked:
Nothing It's all right / was only
joking With you.
A MINISTERIAL THERMOMETERS.
There is in Wilmington a minister
OF the gospel who has so many honor
airy titles and degrees that ne has to
exercise considerable ingenuity in ar
ranging them all for use at one time.
The Wayfarers attention was re-
Gently called to printed folio pro-
gram of the morning and evening SER

lows:-Turkish baths, $500; Russian

Massage Attendants. Rejuvenescence of
Equines Specially. N. B. Boyle, OF
Chicago, is the man who purposes to in
troduce this innovation in the methods
of restoring vgor to the aged race horse,
bringing back the flashing eye and proud
bearing, and arousing its dormant am
bitions. The gentle influence of heated
air and steam, skilfully applied, is t" t!
take the place Of the dope ball. y
and the scientific manipulation Of
tender joints will relegate to the
past the assertive electric battery.
Mr.. Boyle is in earnest lie knows Of
the refreshing effects of the bath upon
mankind. The athlete, he claims, re-
sorts to water and massage to restore his
suppleness and vigor after violent exer-
else, and why should not the race horse?
If the soreness can be removed from the
overtaxed muscles of a man through the
medium of a Turkish bath, the came re-
suits will obtain from like methods with
a horse-at least this is the theory of the
inventor of cabinet in which thorough
breds can experience the luxuries of the
Oriental bath. For fifteen years Mr..
Boyle has been breeder, trainer and
racing man, and he is perfectly familiar
with the manner in which horses in
training are handled. He knows that
they become muscle bound and sore, and
while in this condition will not and can
not exert themselves even under punish
ment. The trainer knows when his
horse is in such shape from his move.
ments. and he sweats the animal under
heavy blankets and steams the affected
part with hot cloths in stall, when the
cold air comes in through the chinks in
the siding, and from the unevenness of
the temperature more harm than good is
likely to result from the treatment. All
this is to be remedied by the invt ntion.
Moreover, horses that have not been in
training and have grown fat. their
muscles soft and tissues weak, will no
longer have to be reduced and hardened
through the tedious and enervating
methods so long in vogue. Instead of a
four mile gallop enveioped in heavy
blankets with stable boy on his back,
the horse will be ushered into the hot
room of the Turkish bath.
