it was a part Of her love of expert

experience she was now about to know.
She went to the studio early Mon

frankly ask the people to try her for a
week at least and then employ her for
what she could do.
She took Cottage Grove avenue car
and went directly to the number on

with a veranda on three sides. She
went around to the side entrance and,
mounting the steps. rang the bell, her
heart trembling a little as she did so.

ed the value Of her work on several oc-
casions, for she bad learned to do the
retouching in superior manner, and
still, work as hard as she would, the
orders she could get did not equal her
expenses which she had reduced to
the lowest possible figures.
She came back to her room one day
after an unsuccessful application for
orders in 20 places thoroughly tired,
for she had walked a good many miles,
and the streets were running over with
mud and snow.
She counted over her money and for
the first time realized that she had
reached the end She was determined
not to run in debt, although her land
lady in the fiat had been very kind.
She went down to little newsstand
on the corner and bought an evening
paper and looked over the wilderness
Of wants" and wondered how in a
city like that any one ever found any
thing to do. She envied the butcher s
boy who was just coming out of mar
ket near by and thought of asking him
how he managed to get his position
while so many boys were probably
without any.
She took the paper to her room and
finally settled on one advertisement as
offering a possible chance for her.
She had made up her mind for sew
eral weeks that she could not make a
living by retouching.

PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR RAIL-
ROADS.

Washington, July 8.-The statistical
report of the interstate commerce
commission for the year ended June 30,
1899, shows that the number of railways
in the hands of receivers on that date
was II, net decrease of % as compared
with June 30 1898. The number of
roads placed in the hands of receivers
during the year was 16, and the num-
ber removed from their management
was 80.
OnJune 80, 1899, the total single.track
mileage in the United States was 1884,
294, an increase for the year of 2S9S.
This increase is greater than for any
since 1898. There were 36, 703 locomo-
tives in service at the end of the year,
or 469 more than for, the year ended
June 30, 1898.
The number of persons employed on
railroads was 928, 924, an increase for
the year of 54, 466.

A writer in the Christian Advocate

A writer in the Christian Advocate,
Rev. A. E. Winship, Lift. D., gives some
account of the family of Jonathan
Edwards, as an Offset to the famous sto-
ry of the Jukes, written up few years
ago by one of our leading sociologists.
At that time it was shown that this
family of degenerates had in about 10
years cost the community amid which
they lived, 81, ,25O, 600 as criminals and
paupers. OF the descendants of this one
family 30 had spent their days in aims
houses or like refugees; lao had wreck
ed their health by their.vices, 60 were
professional thieves and so known pros
titutes. Only 20 had ever learned q
trade and 10 of these acquired their
handicraft in prisons. Now DR.. Win
ship shows how in about the same num-
ber of years the family of Jonathan
Edwards had sent out 285 college grad
yates, of which 65 became college
professors and 13 presidents of colleges,
among these latter Yale, Princeton and
other institutions of high rank being
included. Among the descendants of
Edwards we find more than 100 law
yers and 30 judges. About one-fourth
of the criminal family died in infancy;
while of the Edwards family of IL chill
dren none died in childhood, only one
remained unmarried, and four were past
three-score and ten when called away.
Not a burden upon the state, these de-
scendants of Edwards have contributed
by single representative as high as a
quarter of million dollars at one time
to education or benevolence. The two
stories are well matched, and constitute
a good commentary upon the promises
and warnings of the Old Testament,
which are "to the third and fourth gen.
Grafton" both of those who hate and of
those who love God.

WHEN "TEDDY" RODE A COW.

Governor" Roosevelt, of New York,
was well known in the West long be-
fore his Rough Riders were thought
Of" said S. c. Brewer, a ranchman of
the Big Horn country in Wyoming, the
reporter of the Denver Republican.
In 1887 'Teddy" Roosevelt stopped
for few days at my ranch in the Big
Horn basin, and I'll bet steer against
coyote that he has never forgotten his
visit. He said he had come for big
game, and got it. A day or two after
his arrival, he made up party to go
shooting. Now, Roosevelt gave it out
that he could ride bit, and so he could,
considering that he was a city man.
The boys were not very careful to find
him gentle horse, probably thinking
they could have fun with him if the
broncho was more than his match.
HE got on all right with the broncho
until he ran into bunch of wild cattle,
and could not resist the temptation to
rope one. But the broncho was not
broken, and when he threw the rope
the broncho SHE'D and threw him.
"The rope went wild and so did the
horse. Roosevelt had ridden some dis
tance from us, and before we could come
up, one of the cows charged him. We
expected, of course to see his finish
right here. 1 held out my gun and was
trying to get shot at the COW, when
Roosevelt performed the most daring
act of his life, not barring the charge
up San Juan hill. He lodged the COW
when she charged, and before she could
turn he made leap and was on he1
neck.
"Then he did show the boys that he
could ride. The COW did not know
what to make of the performance, and
after pitch or two she started on q
dead run down the gulch, through the
chaparral, and off into the valley
'Teddy" stayed with her until she was
tired out and we had overtaken her
One of the boys roped the COW and
Roosevelt bounded off, smiling as us
ual. The only comment he made waG
that he had never enjoyed ride more. ,

NUMBER 60.
RUDE BUT CONVINCING.
From the Sanitaaian.

FROM Cne San1taa1an.
Burnham's Leading in Law gives
an amusing account of the trial of q
case wherein doctor sued to recover
his fee. The case was tried in Georgia
many years ago. Robert Toombs
appeared for the plaintiff and Alexan-
der II. Stephens for the defendant.
When the evidence had closed Mr..
Stephens told his client, the defendant,
that the plaintiff had made out his case,
and, as there was no Offset, it was use-
less to proceed further, and the best
thing the defendant could do was to
pay the Doctors claim. The defendant,
who was named Peter Bennett, scorn-
ed this advice and Indignantly replied
that he had hired Mr.. Stephens to
speak for him, and he must say some
thing. Mr.. Stephens answered that
there was nothing to say; that if Peter
thought he could say any thing he
might address the jury himself, where
upon Peter delivered himself as follows:
Gentlemen of the jury, you and me
is plain farmers, and if we don't stick
together these ERE lawyers and doctors
will jis skin and bury US. This 'ere
doctor was new doctor and I went
fur him to come and doctor my wife's
sore leg. He come and put some salve
truck to it and some rags, but never
done it bit er good. don't believe
he is no doctor nohow. There is doc
tors as is doctors, but this 'ere man
don't yearn his money, and if you send
for him as Miss Sal Atkins did fur a
niger boy as was wuth $1,000, he jis
kills him and wants pay for it,"
81 don't!" thundered the doctor.
"Did yer cure that nigger?" asked
Peter. The doctor was silent, and
Peter proceeded:
"As was sayin', gintilmin, we farm
ers, when we sells our cotton, has got
ter Civ vally for the money we asks,
and doctors amt none too good to be
put to the same rule. And 1 don't be-
believe this ERE man is no doctor mo-
how"
''Look at my diploma, if you think
I'm no DOCTOR" interposed the plaintiff.
''His 'di-piplo-mu.' Gintilmin, that
is big word fur printed sheepshin.
1t don't make no doctor Nv the sheep as
fust wore it, nor Nv any man what now
totes it. (. Ask his patients if he's
doctor, gintilmin. But how kin yer?
Where is Mrs. Beasley's man Sam?
Miss Peaks woman Sarah wus tended
by him and her funeral, was app'inted
and he had the corpse ready. Where
is that likely Bill, as belonged to Mr..
MITCHELL? Where is that baby gal of
Harry Stevens's? She has gone whur
doctors cease from troublin' and the in
FAINT is at rest.
''Gintilmin, he has ct chicken enough
at my house to pay fur MS salve, and I
furnished the rags, and I don It spose he
charged for maxim her wuss."
The defendant proceeded along this
line at some length, and despite Mr..
Toomb's logical statement of the case
in reply, Peter Bennett won.

and went on her way. But the picture
affected her deeply. The sight Of the
dear father protecting that motherless
baby made her cry. And it also
strengthened her purpose not to appeal
for financial help from home. She
could not have told why that feeling
accompanied her sight Of the picture.
But it did, and she determined that she
would make every effort to support
herself without help from home.
The end of the following week found
her without a place, and as she came
away from the studio that Saturday
evening she realized as never before in
her life what it meant to a girl without
any friends or home to face a great
city without work or means. She knew
that she could go home at any time or
get help from that source if she asked
for it. But how about the great army
of unemployed that had not even that
resort? She shivered as she turned
down toward the great artery Of the
city's human traffic and was swept
along with it.
She went up by the window where
the picture was still on exhibition, and
there was the usual crowd in front
of it.
She stopped again and looked hum
grily at it. 1t was like getting q
glimpse into the dear home circle in
the parsonage at Conrad.
1t was perhaps little strange that
she had not entertained the idea of
calling at Raleigh's studio and telling
him that she was the daughter of his
subject in the picture. But Faith was
very shy in some ways. and she simply
never thought of trying to meet the
artist.
AS she stood there this Saturday

near her that she could not help hear
ing what they said.

Faith started at the familiar name
and looked up.
The man who spoke was middle
aged, gray bearded gentleman, and the
man whom he called "Malcom" was
perhaps 25 years old, a stalwart, fine
looking fellow, with something In his
face that made Faith puzzle over
something foreign there. For an in
slant their eyes met. Then Faith
blushed and moved back out of the
crowd and went on. She did not look
back. but she seemed to feel that the
two gentlemen were looking after her.
'They are the persons who have
bought the picture and will take 1t
away" she said as she walked along.
She was sad at the thought, for she
had come to cherish the look at the
fathers face which she had enjoyed
every day since she first saw it there.
During the next few weeks Faith
had an experience that tried her as
she had never been tried.
She visited scores Of photographers
studios to get piecework. In some Of
them she would find waiting a dozen
girls all on the same errand. She prov.

An exhcange truthfully says that a
boy can sit on sled six inches square
tied to sleigh moving eight miles an
hour, but he can't sit on sofa five
minutes for dollar. A man will sit on
