Gave Her n Begging Bowl.

Nine. Antoinette Sterling, the con-
tralto singer and evangelist, had an eX-
periencc in the Bombay presidency.
India. which is as quaint as any of
Kipling'S tales of the hills. She was
campaigning with Pundita Ramabai
and through her magnificent voice was
drawing thousands of natives to her
meetings. They had never seen that
kind of a missionary before and had
never heard Il voice like hers. They
We're 50 pleased with her work that
they said to themselves:
'This is n foreign woman guru, and
for fear of giving ohense to us she has
omitted to put her begging bowl out
side of her door for us to put in the
customary contributions"
In India every guru, or holy person,
carries Il brass. wood or clay begging
bowl. into which the devout put some
small sum of money. Nine. Sterling
walked out upon the veranda of her
her amazcmcnt. found two begging
bowls-onc, n little one. with Il few an
mas in it, intended for the pundita and
one. an enormous affair. containing 4
handsome sum of annas and rupees for
herself.
The only explanation she could ever
extract from the servant was this:
Little bowl, little money for the little
pundita wi'al little voice: big bowl big
money cor big missahib with big
voice. Sat urday Evening Post.

1.-THE LOST CHORD"
Flow Sir Arthur Sullivan Came to
Write Tint Famous Melody.

flow Sir Arthur Sullivan Came to
Write That Famous Melody.
Colonel Robert L. Lee Venting. n
great traveller and musician, tells the
following interesting story:
cit was while visiting the house of Il
nobleman in England that | first heard
the story of the birth of The Lost
Chord song that has been sung in
every quarter of the globe and which
will live forever. If ever there was
such n thing as inspiration, that song
was inspired.
There are very few Englishmcn
who do not remember Fred Sullivan,
the great comic star and brother of Sir
Arthur Sullivan. He played in all the
original Gilbert and Sullivan operas
and has never been equaled. He was
later followed by George GrosSmith.
Zone day Sir Arthur Sullivan was
notified that his brother Fred was very
i'll. He made every effort to reach the
house where his brother was lying at
the point of death. but arrived too late
to see him alive. The two brothers
We're devoted to each other, and the
blow was Il bitter one for Sir Arthur.
He was closeted with the body of his
brother for two hours, at the cXpira
ton of which time he came down
stairs and went to the piano. Throw
ing the instrument open, he began to
play, and, bar by bar. The Lost Chord
was evolved. The composer sadly put
his new composition on paper and
stored it away.
The song is the wall of thrObbing
heart. the grief of desOlation. All
through its beautiful harmony can be
heard the strain of grief. SO profound
an impression did the association of
the song with the death of his brother
make on Sir Arthur that he is said to
have. even at this late day. an aversion
to hearing it performed" -Baltimor

CAPETOWN, Sept. 22.-At a meet
ing of the African members of parlia-
ment today, Mr.. Nccthing presiding,
the following telegram was dispatched
to President Kruger: I'VE Afrikan-
der members of parliament thoroughly
sympathize with our Afrikander rela-
tive in trouble. While approaching
the concessions already made in the
interests of peace, we beg to urge the
~eXpediency of doing the utmost, short
of sacrificing independence, to avert
the horrors of war. While agreeing
that the joint inquiry proposed by
Mr.. Chamberlain canno be asked as
a matter Of right, we believe such a
commission will provide a way out OF
the difficulties which are fast ap-
preaching a crisis, with results which
might prove fatal not only to the civil
and free state brethren, but also to
the A~frikander party of Cape Colony.
In the presence Of immediate danger
and the momentous issues awaiting
the decision of your honor, the exec
utive and the Volksraad, ever the risk
of being misunderstood is of a minor
Importance. We beg your honor to
lay these words. only dictated by a
keen sense Of our common interests
n risks, privately before the execu-
tive and Volksraad."
hi message, which was signed by
fifty-three members of parliament, re-
ceived the following reply from Pres
ldent Kruger: Il wish you and your
sympathizers will notice, as you have
doubtless already seen by the reply Of
the imperial government, that we
nave, according to your desire, con-
sldered the matter and accepted the
invitation to the joint commission.
Why the acceptance was delayed is
shown by the dispatches published.
wish to thank you and other friends
once more from my heart for the man.
ner in which you have aided our eff
forts for a pacific and satisfactory
solution. Finally | express the hope
that your work and ours will not be
Ruthless"
The meeting also adopted a resolu-
ton to the effect that it had heard
with satisfaction that the executive OF
he Transvaal had accepted the invita-
ton of the point inquiry and trusted
the acceptance would render an out
break of hostilities practically impos-
sible.

PARIS. Sept. 22.-Continuing his
argument in behalf of Venezuela be-
for the Venezuelan arbitration bound
airy commission today. Ex-President
Harrison said the issue of diplomatic
correspondence showed that Great
Britain had never claimed more than
the Dutch had. He held that the
legal and political departments of the
foreign office did not seem to agree,
the latter taking its inspiration to the
surveyor. Sir Robert Schombergk,
while Sir Richard Webster, the Brit
ish attorney general, went further
and claimed they extended Schom-
bergk line.
Continuing, Mr.. Harrison said he
proposed to show that the Dutch
rights Of 1914 were much smaller than
those of any line now suggested by
great Britain and hat those lines
were now extinct through the dis
puted territory. Any extension, he
asserted, of the original or adverse
holding, and hat all the rest of the
country belonged to Venezuela.
