The Tov Mission.

Somehow when good old Santa Claus
Is fixing up his list
He makes mistakes, and often names
Of little ones are missed
The names of little ones who dwell
Where poverty abides,
Where strength is taxed to earn the
bread
The toiler there provides.
But while old Santa makes mistakes
In his big record book,
He has some aides who know the
homes
That he will overlook,
They go through alleys, streets and
courts
Upon searching tour,
And oft they pause to write the
names
Of children of the poor.
And when the aides have made their
lists
OF all these girls and boys
They set to work to gain for each
A share Of Christmas toys.
For though these little ones are poor
They're precious N the sight
Of Him who il the manger lay
At Bethlehem that night.
And though their faces may be wan
From hunger and distress,
IT'S little that's required to fill
Their hearts with happiness.
A book, a toy, or garment warm,
Will gladden. each young heart,
And sorrow from the humble home
viii for a time depart.
And those who plan to bring this joy
For prompt support now call,
That not child be overlooked,
That there be toys for all.
The noble cause appeals for aid,
And that without delay,
To make for children of the poor
A merry Christmas day.

Museum of Science and Art. and the
permanent buildings of the Philadel-
phia commercial museums.
DR.. Pepper was the son of physi-
clan, the celebrated "elder Pepper"
as he was called. to distinguish father
and son. The father pursued adj
vanced medical studies together with
Oliver Wendell Holmes in Paris, when
American students rarely went
abroad On his return to Philadel-
phia, he became professor of the
theory and practice of medicine in
the University. acquiring an extensive
practice, and died in 1864, at the early
age of f1fty-six. few months before
graduated in medicine at the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania.
Great physicians are rare, and rarer
is the man who also is at the same
time equally great as man of affairs,
as educator, and as public benefactor
Such man the son became In 1870,
at the age of twenty-seven, he pro
jected the University hospital, and
boldly set out to raise an endowment
fund of seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. In less than four years
he secured more than half a million,
including two appropriations of one
hundred thousand dollars each from
the legislature. The hospital was
formally opened in l847 It's crea-
ton was necessitated by the removal
Of the University from its old site,
where the postoffice now stands No
such task had before been done by a
citizen of Philadelphia, and it's per-
Torrance gave DR.. Pepper rank
among the first men of the city.
After some thirty years of action his
public account stood something like
this:
Institutions founded the Univer-
sity hospital, the commercial mu-
seums, and the Philadelphia free
library Institutions reorganized and
.recreated: the University of Pennsyl-
vania Pubic reforms the improve
ment of the city's water-supply, and
an entire change in the attitude of the
public mind toward education and the
ideals of life. To carry out these
plans, DR.. Pepper raised above ten
million dollars and secured about a
hundred acres of land from the
municipality, lying near the heart of
Philadelphia. To the execution of
this task he gave the service of one
of the most acute and at the same
time most practical minds ever voueh-
safed to man. To this service Of his
genius he added the personal gift of
nearly half million dollars. which he
earned in the practice of an exacting
profession. 1t may be doubted
whether any other American has run
like career.
His sudden death. of angina pee
toris, at Pleasanton, California,
August 26, 1898, occurred just as he
had completed the first week of his

To come back to this particular
story, l endeavored to temporize with
Phyllis. reflected that all her
Lenten work abstinence and self
denial undoubtedly had told on her
spirits and, perhaps, very little,
and by reflex action, upon her temper.
1 was willing to coax her back into
happiness if I might. Phyllis really
is darling when she's just beginning
to grow good again. If it wasn't for
the preceding unpleasantness and
subsequent sacrifices which such an
adorable state of mind always en-
tails upon me, I might be seriously
tempted to wish that Phyllis always

AN EASTER BOW.

Phyllis is a most peculiar young
personals peculiar as she is charm
ing and delightful-~and a trif1e oh
stinate as well. When she says a
thing she really means it, does
Phyllis-until she means something
else. The length of life attained by
her meanings is variable. Some
times she means a thing SO long she
gets thoroughly tired of it herself and
declares she never meant it at all;
at other times she holds on only long
enough to make the people who love
her believe she's going to think that
way forever, and then she promptly
gives it UP. Once in a long while she
really does mean thing and keeps
on meaning it until it's too late to
make any difference either way.
So when she said | couldn't attend
her to church Easter morning because
she had arranged for another escort
wasn't sure what to think. 1t was
hard on me to deny me the Easter
morning privilege, for I had worked
hard with Phyllis and in behalf Of her
Lenten proteges during six long,
weary, almost interminable weeks.
I'm not fond of stunning and charity
work naturally, and don't altogether
relish seeing Phyllis present the
lovely roses at SO dozen, the beauti
full violets and the expensive sweets
have purchased for her to her
younger brothers and sisters or the
oil
keeping Lent" The Lenten period
had been a period of real deprivation
and abstinence to me-abstinence
from many pleasant things. But a
single evening did spend alone with
Phyllis so long as the penitential
season lasted, and not single kiss
was l allowed from Ash Wednesday
until Easter even. Three evening and
two afternoon services weekly she
had insisted upon my attending, in her
company, and the good young curate
who OBLIGATED at these services was
as dull and uninteresting as he was
sanity. Now upon Easter Saturday
evening was informed Phyllis would
go to church under other escort to-
morrow morning!
What I should have done was to
have declared, taking the high hand
with vengeance, that no matter who
else went with her l would go too
that l had earned this indulgence and
meant to have it. And this was the
course my naturally quick temper
strongly urged me to take. On the
other hand it doesnts always do to
be naughty with Phyllis. Sometimes
she melts down adorably when l take
1t upon myself to scold her out of heI
whims and tantrums instead Of weak
ly yielding to them as does every
other person of her acquaintance
but then again, sometimes, she
doesn't. I remember reading an i'm
pressive magazine article about the
attitude man should maintain when
dealing with a woman, and afterward
trying some Of the weIEsounding,
reasonable theories upon Phyllis.
But one dosen't need to be a Kipling
enthusiast to know that's another
story. 1t wasn't a pleasant one, al
together, nor did it end in success or
victory for me.

Marshalltown, Ia, June 20-One of
the most deliberate and cold-blooded
murders ACQUIRED on the streets of Un.
ion. a small village in Hardin county,
about twenty miles north Of this city,
at 8 o'clock In the evening. The VIC
tim was Will Berghduff, an inoffen-
sive young farm hand aged 80, and the
murderer was Mel Clemens, about the
same age, employed as section fore
man on the Iowa Central railway. The
two had a quarrel Saturday evening,
Clemon stating that Berghduff had
tnsulted his wife. 1t is alleged that
at that time Clemons said he would
Kill Berghduff. At the time Of the
murder Berghduff, with two compan-
Ions, was sitting on a box on the
street, when Clemens approached
unobserved. Without warning Glenn
Ons pulled short bar of steel from
under his coat and struck his victim
over the left temple, crushing the skull
and knocking him down. He then
jumped on him and pushed the bar
through his left eye and into the
brain. Berghduff was taken into q
surgeons office. where he died at IL
O'clock.
So bitter was the feeling aroused
over the murder that a mob quickly
formed and a search for the murderer
Instituted. The officers anticipated
violence and struggled their prisoner
out of town. BY driving over unfre-
Quented roads through an adjoining
county they managed to elude the mob
and after drive of twenty-five miles
landed Clemens safely in the county

The battle between the Cummins
and anti Cummins forces grows fiercer
as the contest proceeds. As yet there
has been no visible halt on the part of
the Cummins men. They continue to
capture county after county, and at
present the delegates pledged to Mr..
Cummings are about equal in number
to the delegates favorable to all other
candidates.
Contrary to our expectation, Senator
Trewin is not developing much
strength, although his friends say that
he will make strong finish. At pre-
sent writing Senator Hartman of this
district, is q good second in the race,
and If Mr.. Cummins is not nominated
on the first or second ballot the third
districts candidate stands good chance
of being the nominee.
