BfATRIdA AND i THE IMAGE
YfhDFp

4 H.
The snow f1urries were binding the
eyes of the passing throng, but Pietro
stood valiantly at the curb, holding out
his plaster images for sale. It seemed
bitterly cold to the muf1ed, skurrying
crowd, but it was warm and balmy to
Pietro. Though the hands which held
out the little white image Of the wing
ed victory or bust Of Beethoven
were blue and stiff, and the narrow
shoulders Of the thin frame were dou-
&bled together in an attitude Of cringing
subsection, yet the eyes of Pietro were
looking far beyond the brilliant shops
of Fifth avenue. In his. imagination
he was wandering in the Elysian fields
with his Beatricia, where the sunlight
gllded the meadows and the smile OF
nature shone everywhere.
o valiant heart Of Pietro! For two
years now he had nodded plaster casts
and images and sold his wares on
) street corners and boarded the meager
gain to be able to get back to his Bea-
tricia. On the banks of the Tiber he
had left her, picking, grapes with the
men and girls in the Roman vineyards.
and he had come to seek an El Dorado
before he claimed her as his bride.
ii For one long, sad year of separation
she wrote to him. She upbraided him
for his slowness in winning the wealth
they had dreamed of. she scolded him
for only luke-warm affection, she
wounded his sensitive soul with re-
peated attacks on his loyalty and love,
and gradually these criticisms, ema-
: mating from the restless, passionate
soul of the young girl, tender but sell
fish, giving much but demanding more,
crushed the ardent spirit of the young
Italian, and he drew his love within
the recesses of his heart and brooded
over it. and ceased to pour out the
souls desires in the, little message
which he sent occasionally across the
water.
Finally, when she believed her love
too little appreciated, she ceased alto

An Ancient English Charity.

/ At the Kentish village of Biddenden
recently the ancient custom of distrib-
uting the Biddenden maids charity
was performed after the morning SER
vice. The charity consists Of a gift
Of bread and cheese to poor residents
and a roll stamped with the eff1gy Of

r Millions In Tips.

It has been calculated that the Amer
lean travellers this year will spend over
$5,O00,000 in tips alone. Most Of them
will do it grudgingly, because Of all
the petty blackmail of our advanced
civilization these gratuities are the
meanest and most provoking. At the
same. time, if one is travelling and
wishes to get along comfortably he
must deal out the tidbits on every

days for the letter which she owed.
Weeks went by, then months, and no
word came to Tighten his labors and
his loneliness. The first sharp pain of
disappointment gave way to a long,
dull, ceaseless agony that filled his
heart to the brim and made it throb
wildly at times within the tender
Walls. Oh, beloved Beatricia,' he

of the long night, have you forgotten
your Pietro?"
The plaster Venuses and Mercurys
and Sacred Marys stood side by side
along the shelves of his shop, gazing
down on him from their classic gran
6eur with cold, Implying eyes. Some
times at night he thought that he saw
the imperious Milo shake her head dis
ldainfully when he cried aloud. Mer-
curry sneered, and dimpled Cupid's
head, by Praxiteles, broke into amused
lmirth. Once in his grief he .knelt be-
fore Mary, which he had himself

compassion, it seemed to him that the
sacred lips of the image moved to
tintercede.

We think DR.. Wood is very SAN
guine indeed if he thinks that the
plague can be easily checked on
Maui. Kahului was always filthy
place but it cannot compare with
the camps at Paia or with the reek-

may reach Spreckelsville and from
there spring into the fever infested
district of Kihei. The Maui people
have one advantage however and
that is that the doctors are few and
far between.

Annual Self Denying War.

The annual week of Self Denial is one
OF the many original ideas which the Sal
vation army has put into energetic and
successful motion for the advancing of
the cause of Christianity.
The scheme has two objects; 1t is to
the forces of the Salvation Army to such
OF their sympathizers and supporters as
may feel disposed to unite with them, a
week of special devotion, prayer and
spiritual development, and has to them a
very similar significance as has Lent week
to the Catholic and Eplscopalian bodies.
All the forces unite in supreme effort
to raise by means of voluntary acts Of
|self denial, money for the maintainence
land extension of Salvation Army opera
tioas at home and its vast foreign mis-
|sionary enterprise, in India, China, Africa,
|Japan, Java etc.
This effort is not merely confined to
Army circles, everybody is invited to
Fdeny themselves and so help along its
work. The dates of the coming efforts
are from May 9th to June End. Each
citizen would do well to replenish their
purses and be prepared to help in feeding
|the hungry, housing the homeless and
gathering into the fold Of Christ, the out
cast and morally lost, which is certainly
| laworthy cause.

But the fact stands. that three years ago
a thousand-pound steer would realize In

brings $50. A tariff on beef may or may
not do the farmer any good, but the pro-
tective policy that employs more men,
pays better wages, circulates more

condition that is favorable to the farmer
