CHILDREN'S DAY.
copyright, 1899. by the Author.

One Of the most widely observed oc-
casions of church celebration is Chill
dren's day, which falls in the season
of the year when the flowers in the
full glory of their bloom give fresh
ness and perfume to the pretty custom
that in little more than 30 years
has developed from a sweet, simple
service established by lowly pastor of
a village church through his intense,
natural love of children, into an i'm
portant feature of church policy in
all the states. The founder of Chill
dren's day was Rev. Robert S. Harris
Methodist Episcopal clergyman, and
the first observance Of the day, under
the direction of the founder, was at the
Methodist Episcopal church, a very
small frame structure, at Merchantville,
N. j.. in 1866. This humble place Of
worship in which Children day had
its initial celebration has since been re-
placed by a modern stone edifice.
Rev. Robert Harris was devoted to
children in an exceptionally ardent de-
gree, and his great love for the little
ones about him was the natural out
growth of the tender, sympathetic dis
position with which nature had especial
ly and peculiarly endowed him. He en-
tered into the lives and plans Of chill
dren, shaping their sunny hours and
adding the glow of his cheerful DISPOSE
ton to their days as well as being al
ways ready to comfort them in either
real or imagined sorrow. The children
were at once responsive and loved the
kindly minister dearly, and with them
he was general favorite. This kind of
popularity was gratifying to the recipi-

THE TREES.

Gods trees are very wise, my child
oh, wise are his old treesl
IT'S only we who fret about
Our grave eyed mothers knees
And when that grave old mother comes
And puts us all to bed,
Still those wise trees shall stand above
Our graves when we are dead.
And he oft tries their strength, my child,
With his gruff wind and storm
But in their heart the sap turks sweet;
The waiting blood lies warm.
But they all spring raise glad green arms
In praise for blessings past,
The sturdier for each wintry day,
The better for each blast.
Yes, they are very wise, my child
wordess and wise and strong.
And very good their thoughts must be-
God let's them live so long.

First Aid to the Injured.

To prevent swelling and soreness from
bruises sprains or strains, Henry 6.
Johnson's Arnica and Oil liniment should
be well rubbed in with the hand. Cuts,
burns or scalds, should be bound with
several thicknesses offlannel and kept sat-
urated with the liniment. For pneumo.
MIA, apply the liniment on hot flannel to
the chest and between the shoulders, and
keep hot with fat-iron. 1t has been
known to cure the most violent attack
of pneumonia. Sold by all druggists and
guaranteed to do as recommended, OF
money refunded.

To Skeptical Asthmatlcs.

The truly marvellous cures OF Asthma
which have already been effected by DR..
Rudolph Schiffmann, certainly call for
notice. His preparation (Schiffmann's
Asthma Cure), not only gives instant
relief in the most stubborn and obstinate
cases, but positively cures, in proof of
which hear what the Town Clerk at
Cavalier. N. D., Mr.. w. Sererus, says:
II was troubled with asthma for 20
years, about 8 years ago started to use
your Asthma Cure, and have not had an
attack for six years."

ent, who was more delighted with the
bestowal of childs affection than by
gifts of material value. A child's kiss
was coin that paid him well for his la
bors and interest in its behalf, Recog
nizing the church and Sunday school AS
the nursery of the morals of the future
men and women of the land he was
long impressed with the idea-which he
had since felt to be an inspiration-tha
the church, not only the Methodist
Episcopal church, but all Christian
churches, should set apart day which
should be especially given over to chill
dren and which they should know as
and call their own, and for which exer-
cises should be prepared and in which
the children should participate Mr..
Harris believed that if this sense of
right and title to one days service in
the year could be properly instilled in
the youthful mind, it would add to and
intensity their interest in all services Of
church and Sunday school. While he
had stanch hope and strong faith in the
success of the plan wherever it would
be installed, he never dreamed of the
full extent Of its growth among the
churches, but lived, however, to see the
abundant fruition of the seed he planted
in his comparatively obscure field Of
labor.
Proposing his plan to the teachers of
his Sunday school and outlining his idea
of what the day should be in the char
acter of its observance, they heartily
co-operated with the pastor The entire
services Of the day-sermons, songs and
exercises-w for the children, who,
together with their parents, greatly en-
joyed the day, and once month there
after it was celebrated by the Sunday
school at Merchantville Other churches
soon followed the beautiful custom, and
1t grew steadily until now it has be-
come one of the fixed festivals of the
church.
Mr.. Harris the founder, was born in
Philadelphia in 1915 and died at Cam
den N. j., March %, 1898. In early
life he was a designer by profession
and after entering the ministry in ls4t
he brought his talents as an artist int
use by blackboard exercises and chall
talks for the young. His remains repos
at Mount Vernon cemetery, Philadel
phia where, as the minutes of the New
Jersey Methodist Episcopal conference
of which he was member records i
of his death, His mortal body await
its glorious resurrection. When tn
flowers bloom and Children's day come
again, it is not to be marveled at tina
groups of children seek the grave of tn
deceased founder of their day and gentl
strew it with fragrant blossoms

EFFECT ON WACE-EARNER

They say wage-earners can buy more
with their wages now than they can
under free coinage of both metals;
that what they would then buy would
cost them twice as much as 1t does
now. The answer is this: With the
mountains of the west full of miners,
with forty Klondykes coming suddenly
into existence in the Rocky and Sierra
Nevada mountains, with farming again
profitable, there would be independent
employment for so many of our wage
earners that those remaining in the
cities and towns would be less than the
demand for such labor and they would
command higher price for their serv-
ices, but above and over ell would be
the advantage that they were no long
er hopelessly doomed to a life of slav-
cry as wage-earners for the remainder
of their lives. With farming profit
able, business multiplying, and oppor-
tunities on every hand. they could look
forward to the day when they could
own home in the country, or be en-
gagged in some one CT the many occu-
pations or opportunities opening up.
A nation of wage-earners is not the
true condition of a republic. A nation
of independent people, in the main
working for themselves and selling
their handiwc;~k is the ideal condition
Of republic One of the most un-
fortunate things we now see is trust
factory making selfish appeal to a
labor union. What in substance the
trust says to labor union is this:
We will pay you an increase in
wages" And a little later when an
election is approaching the trust says
to the same union men: Our interest
Is your interest, and our business Is
best served by electing particular
congressman or president" And often
this appeal has its desired effect. Too
many of our labor people, thus stu
ated. are yielding to such blandish-
ments, and are losing sight of the fact
that they are Joining selfish classes in
a raid on the people, and that in the
end 1t must result in breaking down
and destroying the common good, and
that 1t will then react on those who
thus destroy the people. What it
means, ultimately, is an awful catas-
trophe, and slavery for those and their
children who undertook to enslave
others.-W. H. Harvey.

A story is told of two prominent
Chicago lawyers who several years ago
were regarded as being among the
brightest lawyers the State had pro-
duced for long time. There was
great rivalry between these men, and
one day they were having heated
argument on the steps of the State
House at Springfield.
"Ill agree to leave it to the first
man we meet" said one of the wran-
CLING lawyers, fiercely.
"All right, and that will settle it
once for allah, here Is Charlie -.
Wen leave it to him."
Charlie" as the man spoken of
approached within hearing distance,
1--WE want you to decide who is the
best lawyer in Illinois. We agree to
abide by your decision"
''Well," replied Charlie, himself an
old practitioner, and well known in
the capital city, 'I plead guilty to
being the best lawyer in the State my
self"
"Why, Charlie, how can it be
proved?" inquired the first of the two
Chicagoans.
"You don't have to prove it." re-
piled the Springfield man; 81 admit
it, don't r."
