Many FriendIess Children Are Given
Good Homes. .

One of the exhibits at the Sunday
School convention was that of The
Ohio Children's Home Society. This
society was incorporated more than
seven years ago and has done more
or less work in every county in the
State.
Their method is to find childless
home or persons willing to adopt a
homeless child and after learning the
preference of the family, place child
for three months on trial At the end
of that time the child can be returned
II SO desired.
Suitable blanks are furnished for
application No fee is asked but APP
plication must come from responsible
persons. There are now about $4,000
dependent children in Ohio. The
Childrens Home Society. claims that
there are enough benevolent persons
i'm the State to adopt every placablc
child. Defective, children must be
kept in institutions, but every sound
child would be better in a family.
Any person Interested in this matter

Mr.. Major, the famous cement man, OF
New York, explains some very interesting
facts about Majors Cement
The multitudes who use this standard
article know that 1t is many hundred per
cent better than other cements for which
similar claims are made, buta great many
do not know why. The simple reason is that
Mr.. Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and other manufacturers do not
use them, because they are too expensive
and do not allow large profits. Mr.. Major
tells us that one Of the elmehts OF his cement
costs s875 a pound, and another costs s2.e5 a
gallon, while large share OF tho so-called
cements and liquid glue upon the market
nre nothing more than sixteen-cent glue,
dissolved In water or citric acid, and, in
some cases, altered slightly In color and
odor by tho addition OF cheap ana useless
materials.
Majors cement retails at 10 cents and %
cents n hottie, and when n dealer tries to
sell a substitute you can depend upon it that
his only object Is to make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement is rs much
as any dealer ought to make on any cement.
that each dealer gets his share Of the bene-

amounts to over S. 900 month, throughout

While EIr. :. M. Barrie has all the resources
Of humor requisite for the production Of de-
hghtfuI comedies. the natural bent Of his mind
is toward tragic situations and the pathos Of
human suffering. When his friends have at
tempted TO congratulate him upon the success
Of The Little Minister he has smiled grirnly
and remarked that the top drawer of his desk
was filed with tragedies which he could not in
duce managers 10 accept In The Wedding
Guest lie IS terribly in earnest, and follows the
real trend Of his nature toward tragedy yet
there IS 10 death scene. and The pathos Of sad
story IS illuminated almost TO the end with ftfu
flashes Of the comic spirit Il is the old story
Of the man and two womeu-lhe well beloved
wife and the forsaken mistress. Mr Gruudy
has told il in ore way AZ the St Jarnes's The
atre IL The Debt OF Honor and Mrs. Clifford
has the same theme il the play which Mrs.
KendaI has accepted; but neither Of these play
wrights has approached ii with 1r Bar1ie's
dignity Of thought and sternness Of Scotch
morality. The Wedding Guest may be re
jected b. London playgoers as 100 sad and seri-
Gus for purposes Of entertainment. and it may
be fouted By sGperticial critics as a problem

work of the playwright in contrasting one situa-
