LAID UP IN HEAVEN.
What We DO for Others Makes for
Permanent Spiritual Value
A Real satisfaction.

After all the best satisfaction In life
arises from what you are able TO do
for the happiness and welfare of other
people. That is the great advantage
of wealth. IL is not that IL gives
you the opportunity Of leading q more
luxurious and self-indulgent life; 1t
is not that you can have a fine house
and garden, books and pictures, travel
and society, but il is that you have
it in your power to help others, to
lift them over hard places, and 70
give them the substantial encourage
ments that are so useful. But this
power does not reside merely In the
possession Of money; it also goes with
good health, n cheerful disposition,
knowledge, skill, or any advantage
that you have over those less favored.
All these things are trusts, and we
make the noblest and most satisfying
use of them when we use them as
trusts, not for ourselves, but to pro-
mote the welfare of others. What a
significant thing it is that our Saviour.
Who treated the suggestion that He
should use His miraculous power TO
change a stone into bread as tempta-
tion Of Satan, a few days later should
have wrought His first miracle by
turning water into wine, to promote
the pleasure and comfort Of othersl
The more we see of life the frmer
is apt to be our persuasion that we'get
the best of any power or advantage
we may happen TO have by using it
for the welfare of others. BY that
use we transmute It into a perma-
nent spiritual value. The riches that
we can amass in that way are truly
laid up I'm Heayen.-Boston Watch

AMBASSADOR AND BISHOP.
Weak Places in the Founda-
tions of Life.

A former ambassador from this
country to France was crippled In his
diplomacy by his inability to speak
French. He fully comprehended the
international questions which he was
officially obliged to consider, but he
could discuss them only through an
Interpreter. An old man who had
tried TO teach him the language in his
childhood, said:
"Ahl that gap of four idle, unre
sponsiye years when he was a boy,
will make an empty space some time
or somewhere in his life. He never
can adequately bridge it overt"
Other men have suffered even more
seriously from such gaps in life, whose
emptiness they try vainly to fill.
Bishop Dash, a learned and wise
Christian leader in a great sect, once
said TO n friend:
"When l was a lad, at the age when
the habits of life are being acquired.
| ran away from home and spent three
years with lumbermen-most Of them
men OF low, dissolute habits. To this
day Il Is an effort for me TO use
napkin or a fork at table, to lift my
hat to a woman, or TO observe the lit
tie customs which a gentleman fol-
lows unconsciously.
"Myconscience makes me abhor pro-
family, but even now, In my old age,
whenever I am angry oaths almost
come 10 my lips. II seems as II no
after effort could strengthen that
weak place I'm the foundations o. my
fe."-Youth's Companion.

And the hope OF a brighter world to be

spiration seized him, and in his heart
lie knew he should succeed.
Succeed Aye, why not? A year ago
he had held the world captive with
the magic of his slender pen-a year
ago he had woven wreaths Of poetry,
when his life was laden with tobacco,
wine, gay music, false, fair women, and
the hurried heat and recklessness Of the
great noisy, laughing, mocking world
Now the beauty and romance Of an
italian summer clothed the earth, the
peace and holiness of Eden prevailed,
and q life fresh and untarnished from
the Creators hands lay within his
reach, TO be nodded, fashioned as he
would.
So he fingered, never daring, yet al
ways hoping to find the courage to
make her quite his own.
A letter brought him to his senses.
What it contained Ellie never knew,
but it took him away.
He came early one autumn morning,
when she was roaming among the flow
ers, and mourning with real regret over
her delicate fayorites-came 10 tell her
that he must say good-by.
you will not quite forget me?" he
asked.
Forget him! Oh, tender little heartl
why had he come to let this shadow
in upon its brightness? Forget himl
No, never! Sleeping or waking. he
would be with her unto the very end of
her lifel
And that was all he said to her. A
kiss upon her cheek, touch upon her
hand, and he was gone.

"You are not yourself at all. Ellie"
said Grandma Nentnor, day after day,
as the light faded from the brown eyes
and the color from her checks.
81 am always your own little girl"
was the reply, but never smile from
the sad, sad lips; and her life was
desolatiou, blank but for one tome,
whereupon she had engraved the name
of Rex" There was nothing else in
all the world.
At last, out of the great voiceless ST.
lence, there came a message. 1t was
copy of his new book, and on one
pencii-marked page she found herself
portrayed 1t read, sang, laughed Of
"Elliel Ellie! Ellie!" and she lived
again for many a long, long week,
buoyed by that cruel phantom, hope.
But nothing came.
When her heart and brain could
bear no more she went one day TO
Grandma Nentnor and Grandma
Thornton and laid her heart before
them.
"Now YOU know ALL" she added,
"and If YOU love me you will take me
10 London. / will soon be ready TO
come home, dear grandma; so take
me, please. just now my heart Is
breaking, and only London can heal
i'll"
In all their lives they had refused
her nothing, and now, when she looked
at them with those strange eyes, they
did not dare. So 70 the great metrop-
oils they went, these three women, as
guilcless Of heart and simple Of mind
as little children.
Then in that great wilderness they
wandered here, there, everywhere, up
down, I'm, out, to find that one man,
that the sad brown eyes might look
at him just once again.
And one day, when they were we'll
nigh hcartsick and discouraged, they
found him. They had found their way
into a picture gallery one gala day,
and there they suddenly came upon
him. In all his grace and elegance
he stood the center of a gay party. a
woman stood beside him-a woman
even more beautiful than the pictured
faces upon the walls. She had white
skin and big, lustrous eyes, shining
hair and cleaning teeth. Her silken
dresses lay in heavy folds along the
carpet: there were long, rich feathers
in her hat, diamonds glittering in her
ears, and the hand that rested on his
shoulder was sparkling with gems.
One of the attendants came near
Just then, and Ellie whispered:
"Who is she?"
pauline Dolafrere"
"Not his wife, then?"
The man laughed.
"No."
"But she will be?"
"Not in this world" laughed he.
"Men do not marry Paulines."
She saw him then as he was, her
broken, shattered idol, with all the
stain Of worldliness, making black and
terrible the life she had deifed in her
heart, and she put her hands blindly
out.
"Homcl Take me home, grandma

New York, Oct l4.-Arthur Charollais,

tined himself in his laboratory at Mul-
house in Alsace. He had constructed the
machine himself. 1t was an exact dupli-
cate of the legal French gullotine, but
was made OF costly woods and finely pol
ished. The triangular knife had engraved
on it: "This blade cut Arthur Charollais'
neck October, 1907 Near the body was
found note reading: distribute my be-
longings among the poor and demolish
this gullotine. 1t is intended solely for
MY own private use" His servants heard
an unfamiliar electric bell suddenly ring

aueen Greatly worried.

The critical condition of the Dowager
Empress Frederick of Germany is caus-
ing grave anxiety in England, not only
on her own account, but through the effect
of her death on Queen Victoria. The loss
of her son, the duke OF Edinburgh, and her
cousin, the duchess of Teck, and the ter
rible death roll in South Africa have tried
the queen sorely. Another family loss, ii
is feared, might wrench to the breaking
point the wonderful fortitude of Great
Britain's ruler. It is said she is already
much upset and strongly DESTROYS to g
to the bedside of her eldest daughter. Bdt
the queens physicians are endeavoring t.
dissuade her.
