While some vagahounds remain in
the country during the winter, there is
none the less a general exodus from
the road in the autumn. In the South
the professional wayfarer's last chance
of obtaining work in the fields is at
"hopping"; in the North. at "tater
scratching" Thousands of Migrants
rely on one or the other industry to get
a winters stock or keep, or, at least,
something with which to tide them
over the beginning Of the town season.
Comparatively seldom, however, do
they reach their winter quarters with
much money.
Incredible as 1t may seem, 1t Is yet
a fact that every autumn a number of
London's wastrels tramp into Kent for
no other purpose than that of going
Throughout robbing-poor "hoppers";
and Migrants, Notwithstanding that
they are versed in the ways of the
sneak thief, and hide their money
more regularly than they wash them
selves, are victimized as readily as
are toiling East Enders. Other tramps
squander their money before they
reach town.-Good Words.

a Telegraph Operators Effort to Please
an Official by Attention to Duty.
THE first Office that I found myself
In possession Of" said the retired tele-
graph operator, was a little way sta
ton where there was not much else to
do but to report the trains. l had the
night trick, and the trains being few
and far between l spent most of my
time dreaming of advancement. One
night soon after had taken the office
l was called to the key to receive a
message that came over the wire adj
dressed to a railroad official who
CHANGED to be visiting some relative
who lived about three miles from the
Office where l was.
Violet is dying, the message read,
and those three words sent the shivers
up and down my back, as saw with my
imagination a fair-haired, blue-eyed lit
tie girldying, with her father away from
home. Then it suddenly flashed upon
me that here was a chance to win pro-
motion by hurrying the message out
the office, and there was no one living
near by whom | could send it.
at last determined to take it my
self. knew | HAD no business leaving
the Office, but l considered it a chance
to win recognition that l might never
have again. 1t was before the time Of
the bicycle, and as there was no horse
to be had | started out afoot. There
was train leaving about ] o'clock in
the morning, and | had figured it out
that the anxious father would take that
train for the city, and that l would be
able to get ride back to the station
with him, and have at the same time a
chance to create a good impression.
at was in the fall Of the year and
raining as hard as it could pour, with
good prospects that it would turn to
snow before | got back. l was little
bit hazy just where the party was
staying, but after Drawing any number
of dogs and arousing any number Of
farmers, found the right place and de-
livered the message. The man, with a
white face, hastily tore the envelope
open and read the contents, while l
waited for him to say: Well done, thou
good and faithful servant
"But he didn't He said things that
| would not care to repeat, and called
me any number of names that were not
the least bit complimentary. 1t made
me mad to see such an exhibition of
unconcern over such serious matter,
and l was about to say so when he
broke in with another torrent Of strong
words, OF which caught fool woman
pug dog glad of it.
Then l comprehended, and as l
tramped YEARLY back to the office l
had deserted l had plenty of time to
take a solemn vow to never again
bother my head about what might come
over the wire"

When Ice Cream Was New.

When ice cream was first introduced
many funny stories were told about it.
1t was first offered in the national capt.
tai, according to an authority on the
subject, by Mrs. Alexander Hamilton,
who had had it in her home in New
York. She used to tell with amuse-
ment of the delight with which Presi-
dent Jackson first tasted it, and how
he promptly decided to have ices at the
Executive mansion.
Accordingly" says the historian,
guests at the next reception were
treated to the frozen mystery, and af-
forded considerable fun to the initial
ed by the reluctance with which they
tasted it. Those from the rural dis
tricts especially first eyed it suspicious
ly, then melted each spoonful with
breath before consuming it. Their dis
trust was soon removed, however, and
plates were emptied with great rapid
ity.
1.-THE man who made the ice cream
was, oddly enough, negro by the
name of Jackson, who in the early part
Of the present century kept small
confectionery store in Washington.
Cold custards, which were cooled by
setting them on cake Of ice, were
very fashionable, and Jackson, at Mrs.
Hamilton's suggestion, froze them by
placing the ingredients in tin bucket
and completely covering them with ice.
Each bucket contained quart and
was sold for ST."

What We Go to Church for

We go to church to worship God;
and His attributes include all that Is
noble in life, all that is hopeful in
death, and all that is beautiful in
thought or nature. What man wor-
ships determines what he rs. To sin
cerely adore and appreciate goodness,
wisdom, power, loveliness ind intelli-
gence, as exhibited in the character Of
the Christ of the Bible, is to be in
spired with the highest thoughts and
become a partaker in an increasing
measure of that grand Divine nature.
We go to church to reform evil. to Sc
cure strength in our weakness, to re-
vive our hope. to obtain comfort in
grief, to elevate our thinking, to purify
and intensity our feelings, to preserve
and restore our health, to increase our
knowledge, to arouse our love for all
that is good, to make our home more
sweet, to make society more brotherly
and peaceful, to get rest from care. to
be better fitted for business. to secure
enthusiasm for heroic deeds, and to
find happiness..-Iadies' Home Journal
