CHILD MELTED HIS HEART.
What the Pinched Face Did for tho
Hard Man of the
World,

He was comfortable and fulfilled,
having just done ample justice to a
sumptuous meal. As he stood in the
individual approached him and asked
for money that he might eat. The
man looked at him coldly and shook
his head. "Pass on" he said, roughly,
says the Denver Times.
AS the tramp disappeared around
the corner the hard lines around the
mans mouth grew harder and his
eyes colder. He was thinking of how
he had to work for his money. Why
couldn't this able-bodied tramp do the
same? Then a piping treble broke in
on his thoughts. The man looked
down and beheld diminutive person
a little girl with a half-dozen papers
under her arm and the saddest and
most pitifully hunger-pinched face in
the world.
"Buy paper, mister?" she asked.
The man cleared his throat. "Why,
yes, certainly; here" He handed her
a silver dollar.
81 hain't got the change" the little
woman said, hesitatingly.
Don't want it; keep it,"
The man looked down the street and
wondered why his heart had suddenly
grown so warm. The child was silent,
awed with the vast wealth that had
just been thrust upon her. The man
reached down and patted her head.
"You're mighty small affair to be
out on the street." he said, almost ten
derly.
She did not reply. Her mind was still
dazzled with her wly-acquired
wealth. Finally she found her voice.
"Good-by, mister" she said, backing
away.
"Good-by, little girl" and the man
coughed suspiciously. "Gad!" he said,
half aloud. I'm glad and thankful my
babies are in out of the cold. Poor lit
tie thing. I wonder if she has any
place to go?"
Then he walked down the street,
feeling strangely at peace with himself
and the world.

A STUDY IN CASTE.
One of the Peripatetic Gentry Who
Was Particular About His
sificntion.

Human nature is so happily con-
stituted that as long as the humble
man has an humber man to look
down upon he can still maintain a
degree of dignity and self-respect,
says the Detroit Free Press.
To the back door of a city resi-
dence the other day came an old man
tramp. He was grimy and tattered,
weary and wretched in appearance;
but asked no money-merely some
thing to eat. A cus of hot coffee was
added to the bread and meat be-
slowed upon the poor fellow, and as
he munched and slipped contentedly,
albeit rayenously, on the doorstep
the lady of the house chatted with
him. He said that he was from old
England-that he was once travel
ing tinker and made good wages
every day, but that he had grown
old, work made him very tired, so he
had concluded to beg his bread.
Couldn't you find occupation of
some kind, somewhere?" asked the
sympathetic lady. 'It would surely

When Mrs. Dillingham; went out
as she walked along with Mrs. Vane
and the Wards, for they lived only a
short distance from the parsonage,
she said: "Well, there was time
when no one could have made me
believe in the sort of evening | have
spent tonight. | rubbed my eyes
several times, thinking maybe I was
resurrected, living in another world"
81 don't think the millennium has
come quite yet" said Mr.. Ward, mot
and Morton seem to have made lit
tie one of their own around them"
perhaps that's the way the big
one is going to Begin" suggested
Mrs. Vane, wisely.
When all the people had gone
Ralph Morton and Barbara reviewed
the evening.
"They had a good time, 7 am sure.
It's worth while, isn't it, dear?"
"Yes, even if L haven't solved the
servant girl problem like mathe-
matical thing with an exact answer"
Barbara said, smiling.
Human problems are not solved
that way, Barbara. L always feel
suspicious of an economic formula
that claims to bring in the millen-
mum like an express train running
on a schedule time. But this much
we do know from our own expert
ence: Love is the great solution, the
final solution, of all earth's troubles.
We know it is, because God is love.
And service between man and man
will be what it ought to be when love
between man and man is what it
ought to be, and not until then"
81 am glad" said Barbara, that we
have learned that. l am glad that
we were born to serve"
"Amen," said Morton, gently.
"Thanks be to God for the Servant
of the human race"
So hand in hand these two, through
their church and home, are minister
ing to-day to the needy of the broth
erhood. Hand in hand they look with
the hope of God for the dawn of
better day and the victory which al
ways crowns the greatest of all hui
man forces, the love of man for man.

why They Were Selected.

1t has been recorded that Gen.
Henry Knox, in 1888, was the great

the army, weighing $50 pounds. Noah
Brooks, in his book entitled Henry

relating to the generals full habit:
"With Capt. Sargent, he was selected
to present the hard case of the starv-
ing and naked men at Valley Forge to
the attention of a committee of
congress. One of the congressman,
wishing to show his wit and rcasm,
said that he had never seen fatter
man than Gen. Knox, nor a better
dressed man than his associate. Knox
managed to keep his temper and re-
manned silent, but his subordinate re-

TROUBLES THAT DO NOT COME.

OF the hard and weary loads
Meath which we bend and fall.
The troubles that do not come
Are the heaviest ones of all.
Eor grief that cuts like knife,
There's oil of comfort and cure,
And the Hand which binds the weight
Brings strength and grace to endure.
Hut TO phantoms of pain and woe,
The lips OF Pity are dumb,
And there's never oil or wine
For troubles that never come.
There's a song to tighten the toll,
And a staff for climbing the height.
But never an Alpine stock
For the hills that are out of sight.
There are bitter herbs enough
In the brimming cup of to-day,
Without the sprig of rue
From to-morrow's unknown way.
Then take the meal that Is spread.
And go with a song on thy way,
And let not the morrow shade
The sunshine and joy of to-day.

since the training school was started.
This scale was a mutual agreement
between housekeepers and servants,
and was regulated by certain we'll
defined conditions of competency. 1t
provided for a certain increase every
month of a small amount and had
proved mutually helpful as far as

was a rarely modest man and seldom
took any extended part in the talk.
"That's what Mrs. Morton mas always
preached, if | understand her"
Indeed, yes!' Barbara answered,
her eyes flashing with enthusiasm.
"All we have done so far in the train

to the little 'preachment," as Mr..
Morton called it, when the company
was startled by the appearance of a
little figure in white, which had
stolen down the stairs and suddenly
appeared in the dining-room.
'Why don't l have any of this?" the
figure said, reproachfully, and every
body laughed while the child ran
around to Barbara and put a curly
head in her lap.
"Now, then, little boys that are put
to bed must stay there" Barbara
said, smiling at the sweet face that
looked up at her after the first mo-
ment.

suspiciously, but he said, gently, but
firmly: "No, Carl, you must go right
back to bed. 1t is too late for little
boys to be up. We are very much
obliged for your call, but we cannot
ask you to stay"
"All right" said Carl, sturdily. He
raised his face to his mothers and
kissed her, and marched sturdily out
of the room. At the door he fired a
parting shot.
"If there's anything left, save Mar
tha and me some"

general laugh, and Mrs. Ward wiped

for Stealing Wire and Brass
Hereabout.
CONFESSION Is OBTAINED FROM ONE
3. E. Klugger, Local Junk Dealer,
Accused-Held in $1,000
Bonds.

At last the police of this city and
Davenport believe that they have
solved the mystery of the thefts of
metal aud wire that have been going
on since early last winter in the three
cities. Following the arrest Friday
by Officer Moody of William aud
George Winters. wanted in Davenport
for the alleged theft OF two bells from
locomotive engines, two Davenport
couples, MIR. and Mrs. Claude Helm
aud Mr.. aud Mrs. Vaughn, with whom
the Winters lived, were taken into
Gus ody, and all six are in the Daven-
port Jail.
Yesterday one member of the party.
when put in the sweat box, weakened
and made a confession, duplicating
the others aud furnishing information
upon which Manager j. F. Lardner,
of the Tri-City Railway company,
sSore out a warrant for the arrest of
+. Klugger, the Junk dealer who
keeps on Fortieth street in this city.
At preliminary hearing yesterday
afternoon Magistrate johnson fixed
the lstter's bail at 81, 900 on con-
tinuance till tomorrow morning. Sc
curity was furnished and the prisoner
released.
How Wire Was Stolen.
According to the confession, the
Winters and Klugger took part in the
wire theft that occurred in South
Rock Island several weeks ago, when
about eight hundred pounds of heavy
copper reed wire was cut from the
poles with a long hendled pair of nip
pers and hauled away. The party
who confessed says Klugger hauled
the plumber away in his wagon aud
buried it some place south of town.
Later it was dug up and shipped, and
then, it is charged. Klugger failed to
mai a fair divvy. the confessor
also stated that Klugger furnished
saw with which the engine bells were
cut away and taken.
1t will be recalled that when the
brass letters that were to be used on
The new McCabe building were stolen
from the Mayer foundry in this city
last winter and later found at Klug-
gler's yard, the Junk dealer claimed
a boy named Krohn. When il
would not swear to the identity of
the prisoner and so the prosecution
had to be dropped. Now it is under
stood one of the Winters did the Job
and Klugger came near duplicating
an innocent youth to shield him.
Light on Other Cases
The parties who took a large guam
tity of brass from the Peoples Power
company remain undiscovered, as do

SUNDAY MORNING FIRES

A fire started in pile of rubbish in

Before the department arrived party
of citizens did good work with buck
cts and the fire laddies ended the
danger with chemical. The flames
hsd reached the porch of the building,
however. and if the discovery had not
been prompt a bad fire would prob
ably have resulted.

department put out fire that had
started by spontaneous combustion in
a pile of slack at the street car power
station on Twenty-third street
Saturday afternoon the workmen
of the Bunker & Marks stair factory

that day at 3 o'clock. A few hours
later the building was nothing but q
shell. There was a fire left in the
boiler room when the factory closed
for the day and this is supposed to
have been the origin of the blaze that
destroyed the factory. The loss from
the fire. it is thought. includes all the
fixtures that were then in the shops,
the destruction of the whole plant of
machinery, and a nearly total loss of
the lum Der that was stored on the
first floor. The total loss is $50, 900
