An Indian ChIId,s Prayer.

Miss Mary p. Lord, teacher among
the Sioux Indians. tells us this beau
tiful little story: AN Indian baby
was dying. 1t lay In its fathers arms,
while nearby stood another little
daughter, few years older, who was
a Christian. Papa said the little
daughter, little sister is going to
heaven tonight. Let me pray As
she said this she kneeled at her faith
er's knee, and this was the sweet lit
tie prayer which fell from her lips:
Father God. little sister is coming
TO see you tonight. Please open the
door softly, and let her in. Ame. -

AM ERICAN GIRL
with Her Camera DeHed the SuitaA am
His Soldiers.


Cor stantinople Cor. Chicago Record
The other day a pretty American girl,
smartly dressed, and smart enough to
boot, arrived in Constantinople on
board the Augusta Victoria. She had
not been long in the city before she
did that for which many dutiful sub
jc:t OF the sublime porte has lost his
head In times not far past. Like other
visitors, she went TO see the sultan go
Ia VOL ship in the mosque one Friday.
Finding that from her carriage she
could obtain but a poor glimpse of the
procession, she promptly climbed a
tree, and thence obtained an excellent
set of views of the proceedings. Her
camera came into use, and the result
was ar excellent set of views Of the
mosque and the sultan riding up to
the great door. She was Immediately
spotted ty a policeman on the lookout
for such deadly weapons as cameras.
He Immediately ordered her down, ex-
planning that tree-climbing and Gamer
as are 'yassak." AS this dreadful word
seemed to have no effect on the young
lady the policeman tried to explain
and the crowd tried to help him. In
the middle Of the dispute the sultan
rode up along with his brilliant staff
and 5000 picked soldiers. After fruit
less expostulation the glittering mon
arch and his discounted soldiers rode
away, swearing by the prophet that
the American girl must be an emissary
of Eblis. IL is not often that the sui
tan is thwaited in this manner.

Town Plants a Forest.

Brunswick, Mo, town of about
seven thousand inhabitants, is prob
ably the first municipality in this
country to undertake forest planting
on a large scale. The town owns a
tract of about one thousand ores OF
what once was pine land. At Il re-
cent meeting of the council $10e was
appropriated to improve this lard by
planting it in white pine. Seed will
be purchased and a nursery establish
ed to raise young trees. At the p 'oper
age these will be transplanted in lows
and set in the positions they wilt fin

An Example of vicious Policy

POSSIBLY it may interest the vot-
4 ers of the United States to glance
at the growth of single industry in
the light of Mr.. Bryan's well-known
statement that he "considers it as
false in economy and vicious in pol,
icy to attempt to raise at high
price in this country that which we
can buy abroad at low price in ex-
change for the products of our toll. "
The industry is that of manufactur-
ing tin plate, an industry which has
caused the Democratic party more
anguish, perhaps, than any other in
the last ten years.
In 1890 there were no manufac-
turers of tin plate in this country.
Up to that time importations of tin
plate had ranged around $50, 900, =
900 pounds annually, and for those
imports we paid and sent abroad
more than $40, 900, 900 every year.
Under the "false economy" and
.'vicious policy" of the Mckinley
law a protective tariff made it pos
sible to produce in this country
"that which we had been purchasing
abroad at low price in exchange
for the products of our own toll. !"
BY 1892 the American product was
more than IS, 900, 900 pounds; 1896
3o7, 900, 900 pounds; 1898, 6SI, ooo-
900, and in 1899 it was 7oI 900, 600
pounds. That is to say, the twenty
million dollars a year which had
been going abroad in exchange for
foreign tin plate, paying foreign
wages, foreign interest and foreign
profits, have been diverted into the
pockets of American business men
and American wage earners, who in
turn spend the money among Amer
lean producers of all classes.
Mr.. Bryan contends that it is
'false in economy and vicious in
policy" thus to spend the more than
twenty millions a year at home rath-
er than abroad; to pay the larger

And This is Their Candidate!

n DLAI STEVENSON, the mar
who is Bryan's running mate ii
the final struggle this year, once
prosecuted a sick Union soldier fol
taking a colored nurse with him
into Illinois. E, M. jenkins, for
mer member of the Nebraska legis-
lature from Thayer county, is au-
thority for the statement; and good
authority, too, for it was his father
whom Stevenson prosecuted. Mr..
Jenkins tells the story as follows:
During the war Lieut.. Philip Jen-
kins, Woodford county man, was
taken i'll and had to be sent home,
He was unable to take care of him
self, and a young negro was sent
along to attend to him. When he
reached home a certain element
made big fuss. They found law
on the statute books making it a
crime to bring a negro into the
state, and under this statute they
had Lieut.. Jenkins arrested. Adlai
Stevenson was then practicing law
in the county and volunteered to
prosecute the soldier. The trial
came on and the jury disagreed.
When the time came for the case to
come up a second time Lieut.. Jen-
kins was back with his regiment
fighting, and the judge threw the
case out OF court.
There are few soldiers who want
to see a man with such a record as
Stevenson's in the chair of the vice
president.

share of that twenty millions year
in wages to American labor rather
than to foreign labor; to have those
wages and returns again spent by
those engaged in the tin plate in
dustry among still other American
producers and wage earners rather
than among still other foreign pro-
ducers and wage earners, and so on.
That is what Mr.. Bryan contends.
But do the American voters engaged
in the tin plate industry and divid-
ing more than twenty millions year
among themselves instead of among
foreigners agree with him? Do 9th
er voters who see the purchasing
power of the home market, in which
they and all of us are interested, in
creased by that twenty millions
year, agree with him: Would they
rather have the twenty millions
spent and distributed and re-spent
and re- distributed over and over
again here or in the lands of other
races across the ocean? 1t is
simple proposition illustrated by
this simple example. We think
the American voters understand it
thoroughly. We expect them to let
Mr.. Bryan know how well they
understand it when they go to the
polls on election day.-New York
Press.

MRS. EDDY AT THE FAIR
Christian Science Leader or
Concord Track.
10000 PEOPLE SAW HER.

From the Boston Post.
CONCORD, N. H., Sept. 6.-The
Rev. Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy was q
guest at the Concord State Fair this
afternoon at the special invitation OF
Governor Rollins, the day being OBJ
served as Governors Day."
Accompanied by Judge and Mrs. S.
J. Hanna of Boston, Mrs Eddy arrived
at the grounds at 3 p m. in her vic
toria. She was received at the gates
by the city and State authorities, rep
resented by the city marshal of Con
cord and an escort of police, mounted
and on foot, and a mounted military
aide of Governor Rollins, specially de
tailed.
With her escort Mrs. Eddy made the
circle of the track, which had been
previously cleared for her benefit.
PASSED IN REVIEW.
AS the carriage approached the gov
errors reviewing stand she was an-
nounced to the throng AS the Rev.
Mary Baker Eddy, the discoverer and
founder Of Christian Science.
The band struck up patriotic air
and the 10000 spectators in the am
phitheatre waved handkerchiefs, and
cheered and applauded.
In Difference to Mrs. Eddy's dlstaste
for undue demonstrations the crowd
had been requested by the authorities
to refrain from a two boisterous rec
ognltion of her presence.
After having made the circuit of
the grounds Mrs, Eddy and her es-
cort, together with about fifty visiting
Christian Scientists, witnessed the
greater part Of the afternoon program,
Before leaving, Mrs. Eddy expressed
to the authorities and to her escorts
her deep appre ciation of the honor
paid her.
FIRST APPEARANCE IN YEARS.
A prominent Christian Scientist, in
speaking tonight of the unusual re-
ception rendered Mrs. Eddy today,
said:
"This is the first instance in recent
years that Mrs. Eddy has attended a
public function, except such as might
be connected with her church. The
cordial invitation from the fair Off
cias met with cordial response. The
hearty reception by the vast throng
expressed their recognition of the
high character of the distinguished
guest. This visit Of the discoverer
and founder of Christian Science to
such a public gathering, and the spon-
taneous and cordial reception by the
vast multitude, reveal Mrs. Eddy to
tie world as she has been long known
to her followers.
EVERY person present had the OPP
portunity to see that Mrs. Eddy is in
excellent health. She is in full poses
sion of every faculty. Whatever may
be tue number Of her years, and they
are more than three score and ten, she
is youthful in appearance and vigor-
Gus in every act and movement. Her
bright. sparkling eye, her clear, fair
complexion, her quick, vivacious move
ments, bespoke a strong body aud a
forceful intellect.
SHE Is NO RECLUSE.
"Her public appearance is conclus-
i've evidence that she is no recluse. She
is glad to meet the people and the only
reason for her so seldom appearing Is
the strict attention she gives 10 the
best aud important interests ia her
care. Her appearance on the State
fair grounds shows the breadth OF her
