Evangelist Moody Tells what
Catchy Headline Did for
"a Sinner.

Mr.. Moody said: Il preached one
night on the text, What Must / Do to
Be saved?' and the next morning the
paper appeared with full report of the
sermon, with this headline: How the
Jailer of Philippi Was Caught
y copy of the paper was lying on the
floor of a St. Louis prison, and one OF
the most hardened criminals saw the
headline: How the Jailer Of Philip
Was Caught That's good: ] am glad
to know that one jailer got bis deserts.
lie thought Philippi was town IN Iii.
nois, across the river, and he began &c
read the story to find out what the jailei
had been doing and how he happened &c
be arrested. In a moment his eye fell
On the text, Believe on Christ and thou
shalt be saved lie could not imagine
what that had to do with the arrest oil
taller. but as be read the sermon he
was convicted Of sin and cried to God
for mercy. In the morning change in
the man was noticed by the under
sheriffs, but the sheriff of the prison
said Burke is trying TO play the pious
dodge in order to get light sentence
At the trial, by some teehnicality,
Burke was released from prison and
tried to get honest work. lie came to
New York for that purpose, but he
could not get work and returned to st.
Louis.
six months after his conversion the
sheriff sent for Burke, and he supposed
that some old charge had been trumpet
up against him, for he had been honest
for the last six months. To his surprise
the sheriff said that he had had him
Swallowed every day since he had left
prison. He knew of his journey to New
York and of his straight life, and now
he wanted to appoint him deputy sher-
if. IN a little while he became treas
urer of the sheriff's office. When went
10 St. Louis two years ago, on my way
10 Mexico, a man showed me two photo
graphs-one of Burke when he was in
prison. taken from the rogHes' gallery,
and the other taken a few days before
! was there. The Lord had changed the
appearance of the mans face so that
should never have known that the
| photographs were of the same person.
"In Texas / told about the great
change which had been wrought in this
man, and a minister who was present
rose to say that he had been invited TO
hold ten days mission in ST. Louis,
and when he was unable TO remain the
last few days, and looked around for
some one to take charge of the meet
ings. everyone said: Send for Valen-
| tine Burke He sent to the sheriff to
see if Burke could be excused for few
days, but the sheriff said that just then
Burke was in charge of store con
| tanning a large number of diamonds
| and he had no one else TO whom he could
| intrust this very important mission
| Burke had won his way into the conf
dence of every sheriff from 1850 until
| his death, in 1895. When he died the
city was moved from end to end. Thank
God for the daily press which led to the
conversion of this man, who, I have
been told by a friend in st. Louis, was
one of the brightest stars won for the
Redeemer by that series of meetings

THE MEANEST MAN.
Aspirations of Penny-Wise Mer-
chant for First Place on
the List q

The mean man who has served as q
terrible example for generations be-
cause he rewarded child's good deed
by allowing him to ''hold cent" has
a rival for first place in the person of
penny-wise merchant.
The shopkeeper wanted to save ex-
penses during the summer months, and
gave vacation to his help of one week
without pay. One overworked and
valuable young woman was told she
might have one week without pay and
one week with pay. Three days after
the second week of the well-earned
vacation had begun she received a
telegram asking her to return.
I'VE need you," said the message,
and the young woman felt fiattered,
and in order to uake the extra few
dollars cut short the much-needed rest
and reported for duty. When pay day
came she expected something extra
in consideration Of the fact that she
had returned to duty before her vaca-
ton had expired. She had speculated
as 10 what to do with the extra money
and was shocked when a member of
the firm told her on pay day: There's
no pay coming to-you."
what? Nothing for the days of
hard work which l did in my vacation
time?"
mo; you may have the vacation
which we cut short some other time. y
"That was all the satisfaction ]
could get" said the girl, "and when
l saw the man drive away from the
factory on the way to his country
house, smiling and cheerful and prob
ably happy in the knowledge that he
had cheated me out of part of my va
cation, / wondered Il he would brag
about his smartness to his family and
friends, and they would applaud him. "

Notwithstanding that it is rare
that we have two good.wheat crops
consecutively, the prospect is bet.
ter for q crop now than at the Ger.
responding season last year.
The price of the Cereal too,
though good last year, promises
to be much be tier this. When we
consider how many more people

latter feature is rather a doubtful
blessing.

made of burr -four, at the Smythe

they were infinitely sweeter, and
we dare say more wholesome than
