ELIJAH AND THE RAVENS,

A Story Which Did Not FIT This Par
ticular Ministers Case.
North Carolina probably never pro.
duced an ADLER preacher than DR.. Francis
l.. Hawkes., who once was pastor Of
Grace Episcopal church, New York.
Short, thckset, swarthy. black eyed and
black haired. he was striking person.
age. He was not only great pulpit
orator, but considered the best reader in
the New York episcopacy. His rather
luxurious family deferred him from ac-
cepting a bishopric, which would have
otherwise been rendered. One day del
egation from a Buffalo church waited
upon him and invited him to accept a
pastorate in that city.
"Well, gentlemen, other things being
satisfactory. the question Of acceptance
narrows down to business natter"
said DR.. Hawkes.. what salary do you
offer?"
"Dr. Hawkes." said the spokesman,

reputation and are willing to be liberal.

on account of your standing we have

The spokesman looked rather sheepish,
but made another essay.
"If we had known that, sir, we would
undoubtedly have looked elsewhere. but
you should remember that the work of
the Lord must be done, and as for pro-
viding for your family. you know the
story Of Elijah ana the ravens"
"Now. my friends" responded the
clergyman quizzicaliy. II have made the

But to return to the scientific work

of the extra would be at once increased

''Then little by little the engineer would
decrease the speed and drop back until

Her Nice, Gentle Way.

She was pretty girl, pretty enough to
attract the attention Of two young men
who were walking up West End avenue.
And she was expostulating with small
fox terrier which was Juggling at his
strap.
IT'S nice to see girl talking in that
confidential way to pet. don't you
Think" said one of the young men.
"Decidedly | do" was the rejoinder.
BY this time the pretty girl was almost
abreast Of the two. and her sweet and
earnest tones were distinctly audible.

made alusion to this little group of apos-

shouts of laughter by likening the party
to Scotch terrier he once had, which
was so small and so shaggy that it was
almost impossible to tell which was its

Bargain Counter Repartee,

1t was ut a department store bargain
counter for odds and ends. The crush
was terrific. Women squeezed and eI-
bowed and showed to get alongside the
counter. Frequently two of them hap
pened to pick up the same bargain at
one and the same time and then they
both retained their clutch ON it and look
ed daggers at each other until the stron-
ger of the two won the victory or the bar
gain was rent into ribbons.

tanning three cakes Of imported soap for
= cents at the same moment that hum
bic looking little woman in faded tan
coat had fastened her grasp on the box.

OF this said the matron in the electric
seal coat, freezingly.
The humble looking little woman held
on for minute, studying her antaso-
mist. then she slowly relaxed her hold on
the box.

bly,. "You look as if you need the SOAP"

HER PORTRAIT.

Should essay to paint my lady's face
For all to see her, how should begin?
Should portray her smiling or put in
With reverential touch the tender grace
OF pearled tears7 Oft she smiles space
And after weeps yet in each mood doth win
Such added beauty that it were a sin
1t were not chronicled. How shall place
On record all the graciousness Of soul
That thrills one through those homes OF innocence,
Her lustrous yelled eyes, or bring the whole
OF bosoms curve, cheeks carmine to the sense2
And were this done, indeed her queenly air
could not fix; the t2sl. is my despair.

THE WOhLD'S DESIRE.


There was born to the world last night
woman child for the worlds delight,
Her mouth was small as rosebud Ia,
Before the bee and the blossom kiss;
Her hair was cloud and her eyes were nrs.
Her hands were full Of delight and desire;
Her cheek was rose full blossoming,
Her voice was honey, her tongue sting.
Before the night took thought Of the day
The child was born with a caul they say).
The caul shall serve her in place Of charm
That water and fire shall not do her harm.
The child was born to bring all men grief,
Hunger and thrsting beyond relief
An III star shone on the bitter morn
When the mother died and the child was born.
She shall be christened with water OF tears,
With doubtful pleasure and happy fears;
We will name her Helen that she shall be
A warning, wonder 'twixt sea and sea-
Though the waves o'erwhelm her, she shall moi
drown,
She shall not burn In the burning town,
Except she burn Of her own white fire,
The worlds disaster the worlds desire.
