DIAMOND DUST.

Life is not so short but there is at
ways time for courtesy.
They who cheer have share in the
victory of those who fight.
Tears, like rsindrops, have a thou
sand times fallen to the ground and
come up in flowers.
Make your company q rarity, and
people will value it. Men despise
what they can easily have.
II you have good health be happy,
for you have nine-tenths of all that
nature has ever given to any man.
Not until you make men self-reli-
ant, intelligent, and fond of struggle
fonder of struggle than of help-aot
till then have you relieved poverty.
The ultimate source of all conduct
is character; and as no river can rise
higher than its source, so no life can
be really purer or more elevated than
the character which furnishes it with
motives.
Our characters are formed and sus-
tanned by ourselves and by our own
actions and purposes, and not by 9TH
ers. Calumniators may usually be
trusted to time, and the slow but
steady justice of public opinion.
If there is one thing in the world
that should be free from compulsion
of any sort, it is a gift. Directly it is
associated with forceful urgency, or
suggested by extraneous reason, ii
loses all its grace and all its charsc-
ter.
BY directing the attention of chill.
dren to the beauty, as well as the
duty of life. and to the sublimity as
well as to the obligations-by leading
them to appreciate and love these, as
we'll as to perform others-we are in
sensibly cultivsting their growth in
their hearts. There is no child old
enough to understand the one who
may not be induced lovingly to enI-
brace the other.

Wholesome Thought.

The universe is made for man, not
man for the universe. Every wish and
aspiration whose trend is toward
progress, can be fully met abundant
ly grstified. There is no more limit
to the qualification of right desire,
than there is to the air that one may
breathe. Satisfaction and happiness
are as infinite as the atmosphere. The
only limitation lie the degree Of recep-
tivitY in man. The need is to enlarge
ones view of the universe; to deepen
ones realization of the multitude of
forces ceaselessly at work.

HERO.
A Piece Selectee For the Little
Boys.

A few years ago fire broke out in
a charming little Swiss village. In q
few hours the quaint frame houses
were entirly destroyed.
One poor man was in greater trou-
BILE than his neighbors even. His
home and cows were gone, and so ALEC
was his son, bright boy of six or
seven years. He wept and refused to
hear any words of comfort. He spent
the night wandering sorrowfully
among the ruins.
just as daybreak came, however,
he heard well-known sound, and
looking up, he saw his favorite cow
leading the herd and coming directly
after them was his bright little boy.
"Oh, my son, my son!" he cried,
! care you really alive ?"
"Why, yes, father. When I saw
the fire, ran to get our cows away to
the pasture lands i"
"You are a hero, my boyW the
father exclaimed. r
But the boy said, "Oh, mol hero
is one who does some wonderful deed.
1 led the cows away because they
were in danger, and I knew it was
the right thing to do" ..
All, cried the father, che who does
the right thing at the right time is a
hero" --Exchange

SLAUGHTER OF BABES
Hidecus Crime of Midwife Revealed
In ST. Louis.

st. Louis, Nov. 1S.-The Post Dis
patch this afternoon says Mrs. Henry
Bamberger, a midwife living on Chou
teau avenue, has been arrested on a
bench warrant sworn out on informa-
ton laid before the grand jury, which
charges that she has knowledge of the
murder Of at least three women and
the destruction OF scores of babies.
The witnesses Whose testimony the
Post Dispatch says resulted in Mrs.
Bamberger's arrest is Lizzie Rieger,
Mrs. Hare and the latter's married sis
ter. all of whom have been in the en-
ploy of Mrs. Bamberger as nurses.
Miss Rieger was a nurse at the Chou
teau avenue house for three years. The
others preceded her. Miss Rieger left
the place year ago on account of a
difficulty with Mrs. Bamberger's son.
The ex-nurseS have occupied the
greater part of the time of the grand
jury during the last three days.
The Post Dispatch asserts that the
body of Miss Dessert, who disappeared
from home in 1897, was buried in the
cellar in September of that year. An
other witness declares the body Of Miss
Annie Zimmerman of Moline. Ills, who
died from a criminal operation, was
thrown into the Merrimac river
The story related by the nurses is
almost Incredible. The tales deal with
the disposition of bodies in revolving
manner. If all the allegations be true
the home OF the accused is veritable
charr.al house.
Five indictments were found against
Mrs. Bamberger late this afternoon by
the grand jury. One charges murder
in the first degree. three charge man.
slaughter in the first and one in the
second degree
