Would they never stop7 Yes, the
engine was slowly but surely com
ing to standstill The next mo-
ment a harsh, grating sound was
heard as the train stopped, and the
engineer springing from the engine
approached her, saying in a gruff
but not unkind voice, "What is the
matter, sissy2 Why did you stop
the trainP" "Please, sir, Bruno"
her voice faltered and she sank
down on the bridge. The engineer
stepped mp to the dog and STOPPING
down examined him carefully. He
then understood the matter as we'll
as Pattie could have told him, and
even better. He explained the
trouble to the passengers who,
when they understood, crowded
about Pattie and insisted upon her
getting into the train with them
and wait until she could ride back
home. But she refused until two of
the passengers had released poor
Bruno, reset the dislocated bone in
his leg and tightly bandaged it,.
Then she consented to be placed in
the train with Bruno, while the
passengers loudly applauded "the
little heroihe, - as they affectionate-
ly called her. One lady kindly Of.
fered to relieve her of her basket,
saying she would return on the
next train and make whatever pur-
chase for her she wished her to, but
Pattie dechred that she, herself,
would go back in the afternoon and
buy a few things for her grand
mother. She, soon. reached home
and thanking the passengers with
tears in her eyes for their kindness
to herself and poor Bruno, she ran
to her grandmother who, after
hearing her story, always persisted
in calling her Little Heroine. "

THE CHURCH COLUMN.
CBH REV. Q. e. souppER.l

The topic for next Sabbath morning
is, "Heart Religion" and for next
Sabbath evening Temperance. j"
Rev. A. j. Wheeler will preach in
the evening.
Next Friday evening the presiding
elder will be with us and preach.
An invitation is extended to all to
attend this service and hear the elder,
Rev. J r. Wright. At the close of
this publicsseryice the second quar-
terly conference will be held,
A word about finances. tits much
easier to push finances than to have
some pushing you for money. 1t is
easier to pay when you have money
than when you do not. No one
knows when you can pay best as well
as yourself. Do not exclude the
financial obligations of the church
from your religious life. A 25c. a
year religion is for most men a poor
kind. In nothing is it more true
than in finances that when you owe,
"Now is the accepted time" to pay.
The financial condition of the church
is a source Of qualification to pastor
and people but it is not yet ideal.
In our rejoicing let US push forward
to even better things.
At Browns Hall tomorrow, Satur-
day, evening there will be an illus
trated lecture by the Rev, ], A.
Wheeler, entitled "Abroad with a
Live Yankee" Mr.. Wheeler comes
to us most highly reeommen ded, and
will give us an entertainment both
funny and instructive. The pro-
ceeds Of the entertainment will be
for the benefit Of the Epworth
League. Mr. Wheeler Is to speak at
the church Sabbath evening on tenn
perance. Do not coifound these two
notices. The lecture is not tenn
peranee lecture. 1t will give us a
delightful trip abroad for 2Oc., while
the sermon on Sabbath evening will
be in the line Of real gospel work
and we hope will stir up our pure
minds by way of remembrance. At
the close Of the sermon Mr.. Wheeler
viii illustrate his truth on canvas.
He will show pictures illustrating
the song, "Where is My Wandering
Boy Tonight" and other songs that
have temperance sentiment in them.

 Coughs, colds, lame back. lumbago, mus cular stiffness and rheumAtism, troubles of the liver and kidneys, influenza or grip, pneumonia, and all other diseases open to external treatment, are 0t once relieved and cure by Benson's Plaster.
 Do not assume that Belladonna. Capsi- cum or Strengthening plasters are ''just as good as" Bensons. They are vastly inc ferior NO other plaster is as gool as Benson's.

 The first recommendation in the of the last legislature. It is pointed out that while the general assembly has the power, if it were desirable, to absolutely prohibit foreign corpor- ations from transacting business ill this state. but that is neither ex- pecteds nor desired. If they seek our borders for legitimate investment and legitimate trade, not tainted with the stain of being member of pool or trust or conspiracy to control prices then our doors should be thrown open and every legitimate inducement of fered for their coming" and suggests that the first clause. of the above act be amended to read:
