Rev Barber Pounded Last Evening

About o'clock last evening num-
Der of men and women were seen to
emerge from the home Of Mr. and Mrs
Robert Cam, Superior street and
steal stealthily down the street until
they reached the Baptist church where
the order was given to halt. About
the same time Rev Barber was called
to the door by gentle little knock,
and In upon his quiet home burst the
silent company, but they were silent
no more, every man and woman among
them began to talk and laugh at once.
1t took the members Of the family q
little while to understand that they
were not the victims of mob, but in
few moments most cordial well
come was given by the pastor to these
members of his flock who had taken
this means to welcome him among
them socially
Each guest had been requested ia
carry pound of something as gift
TO the family, but If the gifts we're con.
fined to one pound, most o. them must
have been Of feathers or elder down

table when the gifts we're deposited
A delicious supper was served from
the baskets prepared by the ladies

among whom he has cast his lot.
About forty we're present.

TRIVIAL, YET POTENT.
TAe Tyranny of the Small and the
Helplcssncxs of Mankind

1'Ae Tyranny of the Small and the
Helplcssncss of Mankind.
The tyranny of littleness'' is the
cruel despotism not of one master, but
of Il multitude of small ones. Witness
the ironclad sway which any sovereign
ruler of the Kitchen may WELD over
helpless household. What happiness or
misery is bestowed lightly by one who
turns toastcr or brews pot of cof-
fee!
We are all slaves to milliners and
tailors. The millman holds us helpless
in his clutches. The chore man orders
us about. The maid of all work beck
ons, and we follow. We bow and
scrape before the naughty plumber.
We who would strike down mon
archs and measure swords with min
listers of finance, what sorry figures
we cut in the community if sighted by
the laundrymcn! We scarce can hold
our own against Il surly railway por-
ter, and it is but by the courtesy of
Master Boots that we emerge from
our hotel apartment. And who shall
stand before the overwhelming power
NCSlCA III OAcluCu MUlICTs WE
cannot even mount n trolley car If tho
conductor and motorman choose to ig-
more us.
The man who rules the Stock Ex-
change cannot rest at night because an
infants voice banishes dreams. He is
a victim to the insect world Who
will abolish the tyranny of flies and of
mosquitoes?
Behold the tyranny of horses, dogs
and cats, to which the great majority
of mortals submit without murmur.
What master is as exacting as a tight
shoe or a torturing collar? A parrot
or pet canary can sadly try mems
souls! Yes things are in the saddle
and ride mankind"
Who will do justice to the tyranny
of the depraved inanimate taskmasters?
A diamond neclilace changes the his
tory of empires. \ courtier's cloak
may pave the way to royal favor A
glove, n handkerchief. glass slipper,
what things to ,conjure with! Slaves
of the lamp! Slaves of the ring!
All, the supremacy of trivial things,
that ono real tyranny to which we all
bow down. Is there no hope that we
may some day throw off the heavy
yoke? Well is it for us to mediate
upon this vital problem which touches
each SO closely. And as we mediate
we may grow wise enough to break
some of the multitudinous shackels
that hold us spiritless and helpless in
the power of the arch tyrant, Little
Things. '--Caroline Ticknor in Brandur
Magazine.
