ii Good DEATH.

MOST MEN FACE ~ LAST CRISIS
WITH COURAGE.
Much has been said of William Nc
Kinley's calm courage in meeting death.
and it is probable that more than one
man, without pretensions to religious
faith, has been greatly affected by 1t.
And indeed it was a good death. There
was gentlehood about it that was most
attractive and impressive. The first
thought of the victim was for others,
and his kindly consideration went out
even to his murderer. And when he knew
he must die he resigned himself humbly
and cheerfully to his Creator, without
apparently a doubt of the future. 1t is,
of course, true, as it should frankly
be admitted, that most men die calmly
and bravely, and there were many no
BILE deaths before Christianity dawneo
on the world.
The children of men, whether Chris
tian pagan or infdel, somehow man
age. as a rule, to face the last great
crisis with equanimity. Some do it bet
ter than Others but most do it well.
Good deaths are far from being unusual
Yet admitting all this, and as much more
as the most radical skeptic can fairly
ask. it is still true that William Mc&in-
lev was the product of all the forces to
which he had been subjected, and that
the most powerful of those forces was
the Christian religion. He knew very well

Good Credit
BETTER PAY AS YOU GO.


The desire to live beyond their means
70 have better food, better houses, better
furniture and better clothes than they
can afford-seems to be increasing among
our people. To meet this growing demand
there has come into being the credit sys-
tenn. which is responsible for much I'M
happiness and -ery.
A young couple decide to marry. Both
have been earning and have little
saved. They think that as long as they
will never be married but once" they
NAV as well do it in style" So they
hire better tenement than they need,
furnish it with installment furniture, buy
fashionable clothing, have an expensive
wedding-with costly gifts from friends
that will have to be paid back in the
future-and then they take short we'd
ding trip.
They come home and the young hus-
band goes to work. Only one Is earning
now, and somehow or other the living
expenses are larger than they expected.
They have not learned to economize. and
before long the installments become due
and they begin to fall behind on their
payments.
So, what with rent, coal bills, grocery
bills. and payments" the happy
couple" find themselves swamped in small
debts. They must either take in sail at
once, or become more and more involved.
One of two things will eventually take
place. They will degenerate into dead
BEATS to be talked about and cursed by
the butcher, the baker and the candle
stick maker; or they will begin to learn

economy and strive to get honestly out
of their difficulties. With such a start,
and with the habit of debt established,
it will be years before they can begin
anew, and it is more than likely that they
will go on as they began, owing little
bills here, there and everywhere. This
is not only a wrong to themselves, but
to their children, if they have any. We
all know of prematurely ola and care
worn children, who, at an early age are
weighed down with the family debts or
the mortgage.
Now, if this couple in the first place
had done little figuring, they must have
Seen that they were undertaking too
much. Then if they had made a home
according to their means furnished mod
estly, and had started the new life free
from debt, years of worry and despair
would have been saved.
But like pretty things and I want a
pleasant home" walls the bride-elect.
Do you want it furnished with pretty
things that do not belong to you? Cheap
furniture that is paid for will seem more
beautiful in the long run than oak and
mahogany on which one is continually
being nagged to make payments.
tits one of the sophistries of the credit
system that one can have the use of the
articles while they are being paid for.
This sounds Well, but-does person of

they have been partly paid for? There is

Servant girls of Chicago draw dead

announce the beginning of a campaign
+o ssreduee and limit the hours OF la
bor'' in the constitution and bylaws just
prepared by their new union, says the
Chicago Record Herald 1t is also pro-
yided in this new constitution that it
shall be the duty of each local union to
take up the scale of wages Tor discus
sion at least once a year.
The specific hours of labor to be de-
manded by the union will be agreed upon
at the next meeting of the organization
and then inserted in the bylaws. Some
other points as to the relations of the
workers with the household are also held
in allowance for further consideration
before the document is adopted as d
whole.
After a preamble setting forth the need
of organization for the emancipation of
the servant girls the objects of the union
are given as follows
First-To raise and uphold our trade
to a good social and economic condition
and by mutual effort to place ourselves
on a foundation sufficiently strong to
prevent further entertainments.
Second-To perfect a strong siSterhood
and cultivate feelings of friendship be-

That of the Late
President.

that his disappearance from earth did
not mark the close of his career, and
he understood perfectly that the good he
had done had been accomplished largely
by the help of God, whom he believed in
and trusted.
Other men may have been stayed by
other things, but the power that carried
faith So his death was a Christian
death. And there was nothing said by
him during the days of suffering which
did not show that the faith to him was
a reality. There was no cant in anything
that he said or did, and there should
be no cant in anything that is said about
it. But surely it is permissible to draw
from this case the lesson that Christian
ity is a great sustaining, vital force,
and not at all the weak and sentimental
thing that men sometimes think it. Ana
what comfort, inspiration, help and
strength, the great, struggling souls of
earth have got out of it.
God is refuge and strength, the shadow
of a great rock in a weary land, the fort
ress, the buckler, the guide, the ally in
earths battles, the sustainer, the con-
soler-it is to Him that men look when
all else fails. 1t may all be mistake
but what a glorious mistake it is! That
religion which teaches men to believe
that 'to die is gain ought to give them
all the courage they need to meet the
last great change.
