SHAMED THE BURGLAR.
An Old Woman's Appeal Induces u
Midnight MaraIIder to DeDart

Midnight Marauder to Depart.
At the outskirts of Mount Vernon, \.
V, lives Mrs. Pardon Hazleton, an
elderly woman, She has an income
sufficient for her wants and lives alone
save for woman who works in the
house during the day. Her neighbors
know her only as a white-haired pleas
ant-faced old lady, who never speaks
of her antecedents. From her conver-
sation, however, II is evident that she
has travelled much. The house is mod
est and not the sort of a place to catch
the eye of burglar. Mrs. Hazleton
has in her possession certain valuable
papers in an important estate, and she
believes that the capture of these docu-
ments was the object of stranger
whom she found in her room some
time after midnight. She was badly
frightened, of course, but raised herself
in bed and asked what the man want
ed. lie said he wanted money and
threatened to shoot her if she made an
outcry.
You wouldn't shoot me-" said Mrs.
HaZleton. "Why, I'm old enough to be
your mother. Is your mother allve?'
NO" said the burglar. curtly.
well. I'll be honest with you" con
tinued Mrs. Hazleton. There's only
myself, a helpless old lady, in the
house. Surely you're too much of
man to take advantage of II woman
an old woman"
The burglar stared at her, complete
ly unneryed. He was Il good-looking
young fellow, Mrs. HaZleton says, with
dark complexion and large eyes. He
hung his head in shamefaced way
when she looked him squarely in the
eyes. He walked half way down the
stairs and stopped.
You'd better come down after me
and close the parlor window. That's
the way got in he called back. Mrs.
Hazleton followed closely.
Good night she said, as the man
climbed out of the window.
Good night" said the burglar. Il
won't trouble YOU any more, old lady

A Relic OF washinrton.. Tim.

At the foot Of Wards heroic statue
of Washington on the high steps of the
subtreasury building is a broad piece of
stone carefully covered with wire
grating. 1t is so placed that should the
image of the immortal Father of His
Country come to life and step down
from his lofty pedestal he would stand
on the same spot where occurred the
browning triumph of his career Through
the protecting grating can be read the
following dim inscription, Standing
on"this stone, in the balcony of Federal
hall, April 30, 1889, George Washing
ton took the oath as first president of
the United States of America" When
old Federal hall was demolished. the
sacred stone was carefully preserved,
ana 1t now occupies as nearly as possi-
BILE the same position as before Few peo-
pie have ever noticed it OH the high base
OF the statue, where it is fittingly placed
as one of the relics of the nations birth.

Every man must be his own savior.
God will help only those that helr

man, Rabbi, New York.
Maxk the Good In Men.
Mark and mention the good in your
fellow man, and he will seek to rise tc

j. D. Long, Babylon, N. Y.
Burden Bearing.
Burden bearing enables man to do
two things-to test his strength and by
using to increase it.-Rev. w. s. Per-
kins, Universalist, Meriden, Conn.
Attainment OF a Moral Hero.
Only moral hero, while the body
quakes and the face is pallid with fear.
can rise to spiritual courage. Rev. H.
/ Nicholas, Presbyterian, Philadelphia.
The Saving of Cities.
II the city is to be saved, Christian
philanthropy must reach out the hand
Of help and better the social conditions
and brighten the environment Of the
masses and never before has Christian
philanthropy been more jealous and
active. Rev. E. A. Bawden, Metho-
dist, Manayunk, Pa.
Such Efforts Fail.
Human wisdom always lies in the
way Of saving one by human merit-go-
ing about by our own deeds to establish
our own Righteousness. But certainly
every such effort must fail We have
sinned, and the door of salvation is
closed, so failure and phariseeism grow
hand in hand.-Dr. Mcdonald, Baptist,
Atlanta.
Christian wonanhood.
A very great thing to be said in praise
of woman is this, that she has been the
heart Of the Christian church, if not the
brain. She has supplied it with true,
strong feeling. how little soever she may
have contributed to its bewildering
speculations or to its pondcrous learning.

Criterion of Value.
There is a criterion of value in this
world far more lasting and important
than that Of the auctioneer. Things are
worth the sentiment they enshrine and
the memories with which they are sur.
rounded rather than the money they
will bring. The age that judges in gold
is the atheistic age. Not gold, but sen

NO osner man could liza 70 uons whas N
did. Modern historians have but Httie
idea OF the difficulties Washington ex-
per1enced. Outside Of his position as
general In chief there were 80 many
things to worry and annoy him. The
chief military trouble was with his
own intimate friends, relating to ques-
tlons OF rank. Especially difficult was
General Washington's position when
Lafayette came to our aid. and congress.
as You know, made him a major gener
al at once. This action greatly offended
the older officers, hot headed fellows,
sturdy, dashing fighters-generals Of
br1gades, and colonels who had made
the continental line what it was-and
yet they had to take their orders from a
man but 20 years of age, who had never
been under fire and was even unable at
hrst to communicate with his officers
except through an interpreter"

General Washington showed the greatest
tact, " said General Butler. "'Yes, gen.
tlemen, he said to them, it is true that
Lafayette is but 90, that he was made n
major general by congress upon nv rec.
ommendation. What else could I do2 He

lock weighed II pounds, and it's lock
was clumsy, badly fitted and very prone
to miss fire) and 5000 sabers, 1000
pairs OF military pistols and bits for bri.
dies, and the stirrups and other iron
work for saddles, besides 1900 cavalry
oarblnes or musketoons. Without these
arms we could never have equipped our
army. Then he brought and caused to
be sent to us about $500, 900 in gold. It
is not too much to say that but for La.
1ayettes aid just at the time it came
our army must have been disbanded for

generals when they were made in his
forcible way by General Washington"
