secret prayer why he was kept
here bnt when his father returned
Tom told MIN the Lord had reveal
ed the cause to him, and that the
purpose was to warn sinners, He
then exhOrted every one that came
in the room as long as he lived and
was the means Of bringing several
TO repentance.
He called his father, brother and
sisters around his bed and kissed
them all goodbye, his mother hav-
ing preceded him to the better
land, he said he saw angels and
little children and seemed aston
ished that others could not see
them. His last words were 81 am
just waiting for the good Lord to
take me-" Little Tom grew up
among us and was a lively, friend
ly, intelligent boy. Given the ad-
vantage Of good education in
time he would have made his mark
in the world but God willed it 9TH
erwise. But little Tom did not live
in vain foE," it is said "Their works

THAT brother of your, has gnne oye-
deaths river.
You promised % mect as you EuUl by
Lis side.
A. the death sweat rolled down aid
dropped on his pillow,
His memory speaking although he is
dead,
The arms that empraced you are moul-
dering away
As you stood by his grave aud dropped
tears on his coflln,
With a vow that you'd meet him, walk
ed slowly away.
My brother my sister g-t ready to
meet him
The life that you now live IS slowly
ebbing away,
But the life tha;s to come lasts forever
and ever.
May We meet ne'er to part on that
judgement day.

The Child at the Play.

The 6-year-old son Of a newspaper
man occasionally goes TO the matinee
with his mother, but the trouble with
him is that he becomes greatly excited
and is apt to express his feelings in
words, TO the amusement of the audi
ence, but somewhat to the annoyance
of the actors. At a recent play one Of
the actors was in the act Of choking an
other whom he suspected Of being guilty
of a crime. As the actor went toward
the supposed villain with his hands
outstretched the 10y became greatly ex-
cited, and as the men clinched the boy
stood Up and called out, "Say, let him
alone, he didn't do it," There was a
laugh from the audience and a surprised
look from the stage.
AT another time, in a play where a
husband suspected his wife, and she
was pleading to be taken home and
given an Opportunity to prove her in
nocence, the boy could not stand the
woman's pleas and the husbands cold
reception Of her entreaties, and he called
out, please, mister, take her back

Priceless Pain

"If a price can be placed on pain, Mothers

ator. NV wife suffered more II ten minutes with
either Of her other two children than she did al
together with her last, having previously used
fosr bottles Of Mothers Friend II is a blessing

Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Carmi, H., to the Bradheld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ga, the proprie-
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend" This successful remedy is not
II Of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts Of woman's organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up TO the
very hour of confinement. The earlier It
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but 1t has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
II not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in a con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.

Historically 1t Is Among the Most Inter

Historically and in the relies Of the
past which it contains few if any
churches in America are interest
ing than old st. Johns at Portsmouth,
n. ii. The founding of the parish dates
from 1898, but the present e1ifice is
modern. II was built in 1906, and the
good man who preached the dedication
sermon described it as a work Of stu
penGous magnitude. 1t is not, however,
the building which attracts Us, but its
belongings. Here we see the old prayer
book, with the prayer for the president
pasted over that for the king; the
Vinegar Bible, Of which only 40
copies were printed. and but five Of
which are in the United States. The
bell which calls the parish To prayers is
a capture from Louis burg, and, although
twice %recast. once by Paul Revere, since
its voice was heard III its foreign home,
it is yet the same old bell. An arm
chair, which stands behind the altar
rail was a gift from Queen Caroline,
but is now known as the Washington
chair. having been occupied by the first
president of the United States when he
| attended service in the old church.
Admiral Farragut was buried from
st. Johns, and the reading table is
made of wood from his flagship. A
strange bit of treasure treve is the
heavy porphyry font taken from an old
church in Portsmouth and captured by
the English from the French off the
coast Of Africa. Every Sunday IL loaves
