THE BRECKENRIDGE NEWS: WEDNESDAY, APRIL 10. 1900

COMMON union. let the churches Of NIL
ton as a unit work and pray and sacri-
fee to make themselves felt as a real
power on the side OF the people in their
present great need. II was Christian
America, but Philips plan was not
adopted. II was discussed with some
warmth, but declared to be visionary,
impracticable, unnecessary, not for the
church to undertake, beyond It's func-
ton, etc. Philip was disappointed, but
he kept his temper.
"Well, brethren" he said, what can
We do to help the solution of these
questions? Is the church of America TO
have no share In the greatest problem
Of human life that agitates the world
today? Is 1t not true that the people
in this town regard the church as an
Insignificant organization, unable to
help ut the very point Of human crisis,
and the preachers as n lot Of weak,
impractical men, with no knowledge Of
the real state of affairs? Are we not
divided over our UNCONVENTIONAL diff
ferences when we ought to be united
In one common work for the saving of
the whole man? | do not have any
faith in the plan proposed to give our
benevolence or to district the town and
visit the poor. All those things are
well enough in their place But mat
tiers are in such shape here now and
all over the country that we must do
something larger than that. We must
do as Christ would do If he were here.
What would he do? Would he give
anything less than his whole life to it?
Would he not give himself? The
church as an institution is facing the
greatest opportunity it ever saw. II
we do not seize it on the largest posi-
BILE scale, we shall mlserably fail Of
doing our duty"
Saturday night he was out calling q
little while, but he came home early.
1t was the first Sunday of the month
on the morrow, and he had not fully
prepared his sermon. He was behind
with II. AS he came in his wife met
him with look of news on her face.
Guess who is here?" she said in a
whisper.
"The Brother Man." replied Philip
quickly.
Eyes, but you never can guess what
has happened. He is in there with
William. And the Brother Man-Phil-
ip, 1t seems like a chapter out of a
nogel-the Brother Man has discover
ed that William is his only son, who
cursed his father and deserted him
when he gave away his property. They
are in there together. could not keep
the Brother Man out"
Philip and Sarah stepped to the door
of the little room, which was open, and
looked in.
The Brother Man was kneeling at the
side of the bed praying, and his son
was listening. with one hand tight
clasped in his fathers and the tears
rolling over his pale face.

CHAPTER XXI.

When the Brother Man had finished
his prayer, he rose, and, STOPPING over
his son. he kissed him. Then he turn
ed about ard faced Philip and Sarah,
who almost felt guilty of intrusion in
lco,.ing at such a scene. But the Broth
e.. IAN wore radiant look. To Phil
lp's surprise he was not excited. The
same ineffable peace breathed from his
entire person. To that peace was now
added fathomless JOY.
YES" he said very simply, II have
found my son which was lost. God is
good to me. He is good to all his chill
dren. He is the All Father. He II
Love-"
"Did you know your son was hereY'
Philip asked.
"No; found him here. You have
saved his life. That was doing as He
would"
at was very little we could do" said
Philip, with q sigh. He had seen so
much. trouble and suffering that day
that his soul was sick within him.
Yet he welcomed this event In his
home. 1t seemed like a little bright
ness of heaven ON earth.
81 have not seen him for years. He
was my youngest son. We quarreled.
All that is past. He did not know that
to give up all that one has was the
will Of God. Now he knows. When
he is well. we will go away together
yes, together" He spread out his
palms In his favorite gesture, with
plentiful content In his face and voice.
As spring had blossomed into sum-
mer and summer ripened into autumn
every one had predicted better times.
But the predictions did not bring them.
The suffering and sickness and help
lessness of the tenement district grew
every day more desperate. To Philip
1t seemed like the ulcer of Milton. All
the surface remedies proposed and
adopted by the city council and the
churches and the benevolent societies
had not touched the problem. The
mills were going on part time. Thou
sands of men yet fingered in the place
hoping to get work. Even II the mills
had been running as usual that would
not have diminished one particle OF the
sin and vice and drunkenness that
saturated the place. And as Philip
studied the matter with brain and soul
he came to a conclusion regarding the
duty Of the church. He did not pre-
tend to go beyond that, but as the
weeks went by and fall came on and
another winter stared the people cold
ly in the face he knew that he must
speak out what burned In him.
He had been a year In Milton. Every
month Of that year had impressed him
with the deep and apparently hopeless
chasm that yawned between the work
ing world and the church. There was
no point Of contact. One was suspi-
cious, the other was Indifferent. Some
thing was radically wrong, and some
thing radically positive and Christian
mast be done to right the condition
that faced the churches OF Milton.
That was In his soul as ne went his
way like one Of the old prophets, i'm
bued with the love of God as he saw It
In the heart OF Christ. With infinite
longing he yearned TO bring the church
to sense Of her great power and OPP
portunity. So matters had finally
drawn to a point In the month OF No
vember. The Brother Man had come
IN October. The sick man recovered
slowly. Philip and his wife found
room for. the father and son and shared

WASTEFUL DAINTINESS.
Fall Easy Victims to the Allure
ments of the Drink Habit.

At table loaded with good things
we heard mother say to her little son:
at doesn't look nice; 1 don't think
you will like it." The little child had al
ready ordered quite a variety of dishes,
tasting them and putting them aside
one after another. When a new dish
was brought on he would taste it in
most epicurean manner and then say
in despairing tone: Il don't like it,"
His likes and dislikes had already be-
come his master.
The little child was evidently not
in good health, and probably never
would be with his habits of eating. He
was certainly being brought up to ac-
,quire a most fastidious appetite and
to discard good, wholesome food if it
didn't happen to suit his notion, and to
be slave to his appetite and taste.
Can we think how serious such habit
must be to the well being of the child?
Do mothers realize what they are do
ing when they allow their children to
be dainty and wasteful? This child
was being taught to be selfish and
thoughtless, thinking that any amount
of food was at his disposal, when mil
lions of children are suffering and dy-
ing of want in India, thousands are
without sustenance in Turkey, and all
over the world, and even in our own
country, people are dying for the want
of food.

IN OLD POSTBOY STYLE.
How Mrs. Dewey and Her Mother
Occasionally Take n Drive
About the Capital.

Mrs. Washington Mclean, mother.
in-law of Admiral Dewey, owns one of
the handsomest carriages in Washing
ton, says the Star. She and her
daughter are occasionally to be seen
driving in the novel turnout. The
carriage is a daumont and is drawn
by four magnificent bays, with pos
and near wheelers, with the
footmen in high hats and black
livery in the rumble; the positions
wear short black jackets with three
rows of buttons down the front. white
knee breeches and top boots, round
black caps and black gloves. There
being no driving seat, the carriage is
ideal for pleasure driving, as the view
is unobstructed. The rumble is some
times dispensed with, but for full
dress occasions it must be used. The
Harvesting is precisely the same as
for posting, but the pole of the car
riage is usually of iron and bent down
in the middle so as to be below the leg
of the wheel horse position, to avoid
bruising it. When two horses instead
of four are used the equipage is called
a demidaumont.
This styIe of carriage was much in
vogue at Newport several years ago
and may be seen there occasionally
now. Mrs. James L. Kernochan and
Mrs. August Belmont have owned
daumonts. The name is taken from
the due dAumont, a French leader
of fashion both before and after the
revolution. He had superb stables
filled up with mahogany, marble and
Bohemian glass and he introduced
this style of carriage.
That daumonts and demidaumonts
are not articles of everyday luxury
is quite certain. A handsome prize
was offered at the last national horse
show held in Madison Square garden
for a pair of horses to be shown be-
fore demdaumont, but there were
no entries in this class.

1 DON'T LIKE IT.

suffering, whether he is at our own
doors or thousands of miles away, and
to waste what he needs. Imagine, too,
the trials that must come to this child
when grown to manhood through a
pampered appetite. He will know
nothing of self-control, which is the
fountain head of vigorous, useful man
hood.
Suppose that wars continue and SOL
'diers still have to fight, what actual
suffering and misery must come to such
a one in the hardships of army life.
a pampered appetite means an uncon-
'trollable appetite, of course, and that
child having been taught simply that
his own likes and dislikes are to gov
ern him, that the everlasting 81" is to
be pleased, will have no sort of STAN
ina should the temptation of drink
come.
Are not the ranks of drunkards re-
cruited by just such children as this
with uncomfortable appetites? Do
mothers stop to think what they are
doing, what it really means? If the
child is to be taught that because an
article of food does not look nice" to
a dainty and fastidious eye he may dis
card it, would it not be we'll to teach
him also that it is not dainty or decent,
but absolutely vulgar, to taste and
scatter his food until the dishes and
table are unsightly?
We are sorry for the future wife of
a child brought up with such habits.
Should he be unsuccessful or should
there be poverty or scarcity of means
in his family, there would be dissatis-
faction and an unhappy home, than
which nothing in this world is nearer
purgatory, but of course harm is be-
ing done the child himself, not only
physically for he rejects plain, whole
some food which he needs for growth,
but morally, by allowing him to please
his every whim, which will prevent his
ever gaining strength of character or
seif-control in any degree.
Mothers, think it over and see if this
is not truly where this fastidiousness
eEc waste leads.-Union Signal.

ing that the princess was to marry
a son of the MacCallum More. saying:
THE queen will be proud woman
this day"
The new duke of Argyll, says the Chi
cago Record, is not by any means a
wealthy man as that word is used now
adays. The estates are extensive, but
where they are not deer forests or
large sheep farms they are for the
most part peopled by crofters, who
have often much ado to pay the rent.
When the late duke came into the prop
erty on the death of his father, in
April, 1S49, the estates, it is under
stood, were heavily mortgaged, and the
income from them available for the
duke was said to be under $4,000 q
year. During his long life his grace de-
voted himself to clearing off the debt
of the estates and to acquiring portions
of the land which had been parted
with. This he was enabled to do
through always having lived in a very
quiet and transformations manner, both
at Inverary castle and in London. The
new duke will take possession of the
estates in a very different position
from that in which his father Inherit
ed them, though the income from them
venyetis not at all of an overpowering
character. The new duke has no fam
lily and his heir is accordingly his
brother, Lord Archibald, who is a
banker in London, and through whose
family the succession will in all likeli-
hood be continued.
After Mr.. Gladstone, whom in many
ways he mentally resembled, the late
duke was possibly the most accom-
plished public man in Britain of the
the last half of the nineteenth CEN
fury. He was a politician, scientist,
author and orator. Like all the old
er generation of Scotland to which
he belonged, he had a great fondness
for ecclesiastical controversy, but, in
deed, the dukes splendid intellectual
equipment made him go fitting in
many ring, and as controversialist
he had few equals. His knowledge in
science and theology may not have
been profound, but he believed in
himself and in his own view of things,
and his skill as letter writer and his
brilliancy as an orator made him an
opponent worthy the steel of any ad-
versary.

But Kitty's heart went along with
him. She disappeared the same night,
leaving a note informing her parents
that when they saw her again she
would be Mrs. Samuel Wright.
Three months ago Mrs. Wright, still
beautiful, but sad-faced, went to the
office of Lawyers Rosenthal & Rosen-
thai to begin divorce proceedings. On
the stairs she found a wallet. 1t
contained a great many greenbacks
of large denomination.
"See what 1 have found" said the
young woman.
"Why, that's my Wallet" exclaimed
Joseph PIONEER, brother of Alfred Pho
nier, who has since become deputy
chief electrician at the Paris EXPOSE
ton, and who at that time had an
office in the same building as Mrs.
Wright's lawyers. Mr.. PIONEERS card
and other papers indicating his pro-
prietorship were in the wallet, and so
Mrs. Wright surrendered it without
hesitation. She refused to accept a
reward.
81 don't see why 1 should be re-
warded for giving up what never be-
longed to me-" she said.
A few weeks later the PIONEERS
went to Paris, and since then Mrs.
Wright has obtained her decree of di-
vorce, with permission to resume her
maiden name. The other day the
mail carrier handed the young woman
a letter, postmarked Paris. 1t was
from Joseph PIONEER, After telling
her of the death of a multi-million-
aire uncle, he winds up with the fol-
lowing clause:
81 have been thinking a good deal
about you. Although 1 met you only
four times, fel convinced can never
love anybody as 1 love you. When
you get your divorce, do you think
you can make up your mind to marry
again? I'm determined to win you.
I'll not take No for an answer. Make
me happy and tell me you will con-
sent to be the wife of your sincerely
loving Joseph PIONEER"
Hes a nice enough young man,

young woman's comment. "Any girl
ought to feel happy TO be his wife"
