THE LITTLE QUILT.

The drawer with dainty things was full.
The cradle quilt was new,
ca warmly tucked with feecy wool
And lined and bound with blue.
The pillow, edged with knitted lace.
Her lovip. fingers made.
,r dreams she saw tender face
Against it's softness laid.
t,,r hut one moment to her breast
She held that little form.
Sor tears nor closest kisses pressed
Nor quilt could keep him warm.
60 deep lie cradle where he lies
lis rockers never stir,
while angels breathe the 1ullabies
He never learned from her.
The autr,nns gently lay spread
OF mingled brown and gold.
And winter SHOWS about his bed
Their tieccy blankets fold.
Zach year the May time weaves anow
In leafy pattern, set
with yiolets Of white and blue.
j winsOme coverlet.
Her feet now seldom seek the spot
Where lie so long has lain,
And almost has her heart forgot
The oldcn hope and pain.
Yet somewhere waits for her the face
And dreams her fancy built,
Tile while her fingers knit the lace
And pieced the cradle quilt.

A Missionary Examination.

Successful missionary work.kiu hca-
then countries is done only by mis-
sionaries who possess rare .combina-
tion of personal traits. In too mapy
cases the examination Of the candidate
fails to reveal the presence or the
absence of this combination. But the
following story tells how an unusual
examination, a sort of N-ray. made
just the sort of missionary needed:
1t was winter; tho examiner sent
the candidate word to be at his home
at three o clock in the morning. When
the young man arrived at the appointed
time, he was shown into thc.study,
where he waited for five hours At
length the old clergyman appeared and
asked the other how early he had
come
Three o'clock sharp
Al. right: it's breakfast time now,
come in and have some breakfast.
After breakfast they went back to
the room.
well. sir, said the old man, 81
was appointed to examine you as to
your fitness for the mission field; that
is very important; can you spell, sir?'
The young man thought he could.
Spell baker, then.
"Ba, ba. kcr. baker"
"All right; that will do. Now, do
you know anything about iigurcs?'
Yes, sir; something
"liow much is twice two -
-Four"
"All right, that's splendid; you II
do first rate. I'll see the board"
When the board met, the old man
reported
"Well, brethren, have examined
the candidate, and l recommend hin,
for appointment. He'll make tiptop
candidate-frst-class.
First said the old examiner. 81
examined the candidate on his self
denial. l told him to be at my house
at three o clock in the morning. He
was there. That meant getting up al
two in the morning, or sooner, in the
dark and cold. He got up; never
asked me why.
Second. examined him on
promptness. l told him to be at my
house at three o'clock sharp. He wa:
there, not one minute behind time.
"Third. examined him on patience
l let him wait five hours for me, wher
he might just as we'll have been il
bed, aud he waited and showed nj
signs of impatience when 1 went in.
"Fourth. l examined him on hi
temper. He didn't get mad; met m,
perfectly pleasantly: did ask me VIII,
l had kept him waiting from three
o'clock on cold winter morning til
eight.
Fifth. 1 examined him on humil
ity. asked him to spell words

child could do, and he didn't shov
any indignation, didn't ask me why

fool.
Brethren, the candidate is self
denying, prompt, patient, obedient
good-tempered, humble; he's just tn
man for missionary, and I recon
mend him for your acceptance

(. OLIVER ISELIN COMPLAINS
SAYS CRITICISM OF HIM AND CO.,
 LUMBIA IS UNJUSTIFIED.
Declares if Any Words Are to Be Said at This Time They Should Be Ones of Encourngement-.Da of Disheart- entno Crev-Fuu Faith That COlum- bin WtlI xNim-Outlook for TO-day's Race.

New York Oct. 11.-Practically for the first time since the Columbia began racing c. Oliver Iselin, managing owner of the Columbia, to-day com mented on the attitude of the people and newspapers toward the Amerlcan defender and management of the boat He said "One of the matters that mas impressed me this year in comparison with other years is the lax support which is being given the American boat. To make the proper sport in these contests both boats should have that backing which goes to make an in- teresting contest Those of us who have been with the Columbia day in and day out have perfect confidence in her. I think she will prove herself the abler boat in sailing weather, once we have a race Surely if any words are to be said at this time they should be words of encouragement. Yet what do we find? This seems to be the heydey time for criticism. For some, the par ticular task seems to be to find flaws and foster discontent. My own belief
 in the craft cannot be shaken by any such side lights, but remember that we have men who perhaps are not in the position to weigh all the facts. The men who are sailing the boat are as keen as they can be for victory. Now I will not say that these men have been affected by this talk or what they have read, but yet I can see where it might destroy part of their energy. If 1t reaches them at all in that way there is a loss of enthusiasm to us." This spirit" continued MT. Iselin, lis not to be found on the other side. When boats are racing there they are loyalty supported and honestly handled. Let us sail our races. Win them I think we will, and when it is over if we have not done all that is proper and sports manlike the time will then be ripe for criticism We will be in a position to improve on the just ones which have been uttered while at the same time all danger of disturbing the spirit of the crew will be removed"
 Along this line" said MT. Iselin, how much have we, or anyone seen on which to base a criticism? Nothing has been learned and I, for my part, re- gard the test as yet to come. Yet, strange to say though a race has yet to be gone through we find that peo- pie have already weighed us and we are found wanting. This whole thing is amazing, it is new, as we'll, in cup racing. Why. just look back to past cup events. Take the Vigilant- Valky- re races. On one of those days Valky- rie led the Vigilant twenty minutes on the outer mark. Yet no down hearted cries were heard and the support was sincere to the end. Give us, give the men, give the boat the encouragement which we think we have right to ex- pect, and think we will justify the re- sult.'

OUTLOOK FOR TO-D-4Y,S RACE.
Calm Weather Likely Although
 Light Breeze is Promised.

New York, Oct. 1.-The yachting outlook tonight is still doubtful and the doubt does not clear up any more than the fog, for there is little promise of wind. The only thing that can be said now is that it looks like clam weather with the possibility of an in creasing southerly breeze in the af ternoon. A well known sporting man in we'll known sporting place has $5,000 to place on the Shamrock for the first race. Further than that he makes no proposition. On the series he will not wager a penny. Except in case where man wishes to back his pat riotism the betting to-day was almost on even terms
 This has been another waiting day on board the cup racers. They have been tinkering the Columbia's sails a bit, but all has been quiet on the Sham rock. The weather has not been pro- pitious for experimenting and with the exception of the sailmakers on board the Columbia all hands have had only another day of rest. Both crews are anxious to get at the work, although it is more or less of strain to race every day, there is no one who does not welcome this change in the pro- gramme made by the committee. From now on it will be a race every day ex- cepting Sunday until the series is fin- ished

GENERAL OTIS REPORTS SCHWAN,S ADVANCE 4 SUCCESS.
The Insurgent Force Driven From San Francisco dc Malabon and is Dis- fntegrated-POpulaii Much COm- gested in Manila and Otis Objects to Officers Families Joining Them.

l Washington, Oct. 11.-A cablegram from General Otis to the war depart nent received late tonight confirms the press dispatches regarding Colonel Schwan's movement on San Francisco de Malabon. General Otis says: ''Schwan successful yesterday in driv- ing insurgents south with loss from San Francisco de Malabon. He reports their force disintegrated and retiring on divergent roads which are impossible for artillery or wagons. No intention of occupying this country permanently ! or temporarily; transportation will re- turn by way of Rosario and column will move direct on Dasmarina, probably re- tiring on Imus Country of no strategic importance"
 General Otis has strongly disapproved of officers families joining them at Ma n1la, and regarding this question he to- day cabled the department as follows: Population of Manila much congested. Provision for officers families cannot be made. Those already arrived, to- gether with families of enlisted men, have caused much perplexity. Would not permit my own family to come un- der existing circumstances. Nearly all officers and men here absent from Ma nila on duty; families should await more peaceful conditions"
 Another message announced the ar rival at Manila of the transport Victoria with 403 horses; ten died en route and several found tol be afflicted with glan- ders were shot. The Garonne sailed from Manila on the seventh instant and the Athenian on the ninth, both for Se- attle

THE ANGL0-B0ER WAR No Official Information Yet Received That a Shot
 Has Been Fired. NEWCASTLE NOT ABANDONED
PREMIER OF NATAL INTENDS TO
 STAY THERE.
Free State Border Has Been CIosed-Per- sistent Rumors That Bocrs Have En- credited Report That British Agent ut Pretoria Has Been Assassinated.

London, Oct. 11-11:15 D. m.--Up tc the present hour no official dispatches have been received from Cape Towr since the expiration of the ultimatum so it is not yet known whether the first shot has been fired.
 A dispatch from Newcastle, Natal dated October Il (morning) says: INC news has been received here as to the rumored advance of the Boers upon Charlestown but movement in the Boer camp is reported. Rt. Hon. Harry Escombe, former premier of Natal, in tends to remain here. The Free State border has been closed. Nearly all the inhabitants have left the town''
 A late dispatch from Durban, Natal, dated October il (morning) says: There are persistent rumors in Pietermaritz- burg that large body of Free State Boers have entered Natal The rumor, however, lacks confirmation.
 A dispatch from Glencoe Camp, dated Wednesday noon, says the burgh- CTS are reported to be beyond the pres ident's control and hostilities are ex- pected at any moment.
 A dispatch to the Daily Telegraph from Ladysmith dated Wednesday alone among the specials received, de- clares that war has been begun by the Boers in Natal The correspondent says: Free State burghers have seized train at Harrismith, which was the property of the Natal govern ment. Last night a mounted patrol was stoned by Boers. The mems or ders were not to fire unless they were fired upon'' The other dispatches only represent that hostilitis are imminent.
 It IS rumored that Conyngham Greene, the British diplomatic agent at Pretoria, has been assassinated there. The report, however, is unconfirtmed and is discredited at the colonial of flee. The rumor is of doubtful origin and is considered extremely improbable as it is believed that in obedience to orders from the imperial government MT. Greene had already left Pretoria, confiding the care of British interests to United States Consul McCrumb.
 There was a great scene on the floor of the stock exchange at 310 D. m. to- day, the time of the expiration of the period fixed in the Boer ultimatum. The brokers gathered and began sing ing God Save the Queen" and "Rule Britannia" A large crowd outside took up the strains, and singing and cheer ing spread from point to point in the neighborhood until the whole district was alive with enthusiasm.
 A demonstra ton similar to that which took place on the floor of the stock exchange occurred at the Baltic, one of the principal produce exchanges, where the union jack was unfured from the ceiling, the members singing Rule Britannia" and God Save the Queen"
