DIX. BARROWS' STORY,
oAe That the Reverend Gentleman
Always Cuts or Before the
Ninfsh

Rev. DR.. John Henry Barrows, presi-
dent of Obcrlin college, who formerly
preached to Chicago congregation,
tells a little story concerning an ex-
perience of his own that may be worth
passing along. 1t was at the time that
DR.. Barrows was making arrangements
for the holding of the great congress
of religions here. He had an immense
, correspondence to take care of, and
found it necessary to employ ste
nographer. The young lady was pref
ty. 1t is not to be inferred that there
are any but pretty lady stenographers,
but the one employed by DR.. Barrows
was especially comely, says S. L. Kiser.
in the Chicago Record-lIeraid.
The doctor fitted up workroom on
the third floor of his house, where he
and the stenographer toiled hard day
after day, undisturbed by callers and
well away from the noises of the
streets.
The work of preparing for the con-
gross was still going forward on the
18th of February, when the doctors

sending and receiving of valentines.
The boy had been running about the
neighborhood handing love tokens to
the children he knew and many had
come to him, when he remembered
that he had a father up on the third
floor, in addition to the one in Heaven.
Going to his mother, he proposed that
they send up a valentine.
"Wcll," said Mrs. Barrows, at is
very nice of you to remember father.
How would it do for me to write a
valentine for him and let you take
it up?"
The boy was delighted at the idea,
and his mother wrote upon a sheet of
paper:
"Please kiss the bearer"
This she placed in an envelope, which
was properly sealed and addressed to
the doctor. The boy started upstairs
with his valentine, but he had been
running around Il good deal during the
morning and his legs were weary.
When he had reached the second floor
he met the pretty stenographcr, who
had started out after postage stamps
or something, and cskcl her if she
wouldn't be kind enough to hand the
note to his father.
She took the envelope, gave the child
pat on the cheek and ran back up
stairs, wherc-pethnps prompted by
feminine curiosity-she waited while
DIR. Barrows opened his valentine and
read, i'll his wifc's handwriting:
"Plcasc kiss the bearer"
Here is where DR.. Darrows always
cuts the story off.

The Fallen Flag.

Furl the fourfold banner,
Lay that flag to rest;
In the roll of honor
The brightest, bravest, best!
Now no hand may wave it
Ger valley, pass, or hill;
Where thousands died to save it
The patriot hearts are still.
1t flew on proud Majuba,
Where the victor farmers stood;
Ger the tide of the Tugela,
Dark dyed With hostile blood;
On Stormberg passes glorious
And DER Macrsfontein height,
Where Cronjes host, victorious,
Withstood the British might.
But prouder. grander story
Is the record of the band
Who surpassed all former glory
In the latest, greatest stand:
When, ten to one outnumbcred,
OF hope and help bcreft-
On ground with graves encountered
Defenders still were left!
There were hero chiefs to lead them
On the path where death was won,
TO float the flag of Freedom
Where the eagle 4rCets the sun
no keep the Nicrllleur flying
On every fortress hill;
From the cold clasp of the dying
There were hands to seize it still!
o land so fondly cherished,
Endcarcd by patriot graves,
The soil where such have persisted
Is not the soil for slaves;
From age to age their story
Shall sound to other days;
They leave their SONS the glory
That fallen flag to raise.
0 sacred, smittcn nation,
Crowned on thy Calvary!
There's Il day of rcSt'ration-
An Easter Morn for thee.
Vicrklcur! young hands shall grasp
thee.
New armies round thee stand
Men whose fathers died shall clasp
ON the bluod-houyht Rurghcrs' Land!

showed us this week a number Of
old letters dated 1913 and 1914,
upon military affairs of the sixth

no doubt would be very interest

We believe Mr.. Hebert should
send these old documents to the

fully preserved.

we noted the fact that our young
