THE young man was so much in
earnest" said DR.. Hills, that 1 de-
c1ded to send reply, never dreaming
that would be taken seriously. 1 told
him that lecture of SO high a quality
would be very expensive luxury. In
tellect was q rare essence, IWrote, and
that element alone in the lecture would
cost thousand dollars. Wit and hui
NOR were almost as precious, being
like the altar of rose, of. which the
sweetness of a half ucre or crimson
blossoms was swept into a single vial
and that the precious distillation of
wit would represent easily $500 more.
AS to the pathoS, I told him that tears
came higher than laughter, and re-
minded him that in the BOOK OF the
Revelation they were so precious that
each tear was counted and kept in a
bottle, and that these tears named
pathOS, would represent so round disks
of silver in addition to the previous
$1,000. The sum total of the inteIIec-
tual, humorous and pathetic elements
represented an expense of $4,000, but
in consideration of the genius stirring
Within l would make him a special
rate and send him the lecture for ST.
500. To which came the answer:
"'Could you have the lecture ready
by Aug. 1? I have though the mat
ter over, and calculate that could
clear the $1,000 in the first year, and
all would be to the good thereafter.
1t must be understood, however, that
you are never in any way to refer to
the lecture as being yours ~
1t is unnecessary to state that the
lecture will not be .written.-Boston

Then, after this has been heard and
discussed, refreshments are served and
the informal meeting becomes even
more informal and the members talk
on enjoy themselves as they best
please.
From being a struggling parish st.
Peters has, within the last year, de-
Veloped into a prosperous community.
A new rectOry, a pipe organ, a new
reredos, and a church which has been
painted and decorated, inside ana out,
are the outward and visible signs of
the new life instilled into it since the
advent of the new rector, the Rev. c..
Herbert Shut. But best of all, so the
members justly think, is the constant
growth and increasing congregation.
Evolution of Church.
Where there was once a bare and
empty lot there now stands a new
pretty and substantial rectory, with a
nice lawn, and the ground round the
church itself has been rolled and sod
ded, giving it a. neat and bright ap-
pearance.
During the past year there have
been thirty-six combinations, and the
Easter Offering reached the nice sum
of $3.50.
When Mr.. Shut took charge of the
parish year ago, it was for several
reasons much run down, but when he
came to look it over before definitely
accepting the call, he found congre-
cation so stable under difficulties, so
full of zeal and courage, that he de-
cided that this was a good field to
work, and though at the time he was
well placed in diocese in Albany, he

law to interfere with their passage;
but he does not disdain to lay hands
on the trunks of trees and the big
branches that every freshet brings
along. They are common property,
and together with the stray boards
that are occasionally picked up are a
prize that every dweller vies in cap
turing. All this fuel is drawn from
THE river water soaked and generally
unfit for use, but Old Sol is useful
ii not an obliging fellow, and generally
puts it in condition for winter use.
Huge piles of river debris cover the
vacant spots along the flats, generally
with a covering of old roofing tin, pick
ed up somewhere, and if not, piled SO
that the water will run off instead Of
through.
Not alone does the river furnish the
fiat dWeller with his supply of fuel,
but the city dumps are a fruitful
source in this respect. More labor is
expended here, but the result fully
justifies the expenditure. The sticks
are choice, oftentimes a log or plank
of goodly size is uneartned, and when
reduced with an AK it makes excellent
kindling wood.
Cedar Block Prizes.
An unlocked for windfall to the col
lector of discarded wood this year has
been the repaving of the streets for
merly surfaced with cedar blocks.
Anything but inviting, yet they were

Gesner and he was succeeded by the
Rev. George H. Mueller, who imn1e-
diately preceded Mr.. Shut.
The congregation particularly pride
themselves upon their vested choir
which is under the entire direction of
Norman ]. Fabian, who is an enthu
siast in church music and much be-
loved by the boys. -~a7.-
At the present time the church
boasts over two hundred names on
the communicate list and some hum
dred children in the Sunday school.
And there are numerous church Socie-
ties connected with the parish, such
as the Mems club, which has been
mentioned before, ST. Agnes's Guild,
the Women's Auxiliary, the Altar
Guild, the Junior Brotherhood of st.
Andrews, and last but not least the
Babies branch of the auxiliary which
is the youngest and newest society,
all ffourishing and vigorous. .>..
The chOirmaSter maintains a pre-
paratory class for the choir in which
all the boys with promising voices are
trained in music before entering the
choir itself. The rector Who is much
beloved by his people was recently
made editor Of the Church Record
and Bishop Edsall has also added his
name to this paper of the examining
chaplains.
The prosperity of ST. Peters church
is the more remarkable in that in the
whole congregation there is no one Of
very great wealth, no one to whom all
the other members can look to make
up any deficiencies by very large and
bountiful gifts.
The story of this pretty little church
shows that a small congregation, led
by a congenial rector, can make a Won
derfully prosperous growth if all are
only actuated by genuine zeal and en-
thusiasm.

RIVER COLONY WHICH FEARS NO COIL TRUST.

Ihe coal man is an important indi-
Vldual just now, and his little box
like store, with it's trays of black sam
pies, has managed to distribute itself
rather literally over the map of ST
Paul, but there is one place in which
he has so far failed to secure a foot
ing, and that is on the flats.
70 speak plainly, that little, yet
growing, colony, so Snugly hidden be-
meath and around the towering sup
ports of the high bridge, has no use
for Mr.. goldman. To them he would
be a useless commodity for be it
known the mighty Mississippi supplies
the denizens of this unique settlement
with it's fuel.
How the River Is Worked.
To catch the countless chips and
debris floating on the turbulent tide
of the Father of Waters seems a task
hardly commensurate with the value
of labor expended, but ye fat dweller
is nothing if not ingenious. He brings
into play one of the forces of nature
that labor of the ripple, which like the
boiling pot purges it's center by fore
ing that which takes refuge on its
bosom to the sides. Knowing this, he
creates a series of pockets along the
shore line by extending out into the
river a number of slender booms which
catch the chips and wooden debris that
is constantly passing. Each in it's
humble way is an artificial eddy, en-
ue1ng into it's net the flotSam and
1etsam OF the log runs above.
Logs Are Immune.
These booms are not warranted to
hold the big logs that are constantly
floating by; in fact, the average flat
dweller has too great a dread of the

This Japanese specuIates.

The Orient is hardly the place where
one would seek the typical speculator and
creator of fabulous fortunes. This genius
is generally to be found in the great finan-
cial centers of the West-Paris, London,
New York. But there is now living in
Japan Spectator of the distinctive mod
ern type-a dreamer, a man with a ire
mendous genius for money making, with
a dash of the gambling spirit thrown in.
He is Keijifo Amenomiya, and he has al
ready made several fortunes and lost
them almost as rapidly and brilliantly,
and he is now engaged in building a mon
ument for himself by establishing an in
dustrial community which will be the fruit
of his latest efforts in money making
He is considered in Tokyo as the dashing
leader of stock jobbers and spectators,
and is regarded as an original and bril-
liant financier, although, of course, some
what unsound in many of his most dar-
ing. speculative conceptions. Mr.. Amen
omiya's history reads like a romance with
the stock market as it's scene. He is a
striking personality, and whether inn
mensely rich or profoundly poor, COM
mands the attention and admiration Of
everyone.

A club for men, said to be the only
one of the sort in st. Paul, is unique
feature of St. Peters Episcopal church,
on Dayton's bluff, corner of Fourth and
Maple streets.
The club itself is singular in that it
has no officers, and the place of meet
ing and the subject for discussion at
the next meeting is decided each time.
1t meets twice in the month, and some
member previously selected reads pa
per or makes a little address on some
topic connected with church work.

fuel, stove size at that, and none Of
the blocks was allowed to escape.
The paving contractors were willing
to get rid of them, for their removal
saved carriage, and everyone that want
ed to was allowed to collect them to
his hearts content. Perhaps no sec
ton Of the city has a greater reminder
of the existence of these same blocks
than the West side. This was the
original home of the fat dwelIer, and
though the advance of civilization has
curtailed his possessions, yet he is
still to be seen. Along the river front
every yard contains a load or SO of
these blocks, and in some places the
piles have reached large PROPORTIONS.

Previous to the erection of the church
the meetings of the mission were held
in various rooms whenever and where
ever found convenient Then the lot
upon which it now stands was acquired
and the pretty church of today erected.
Mr.. Shut is the fifth rector the
church has had since it became indie
pendent. The first in charge was the
Rev. Samuel Mills, he was followed
by the Rev. S. B. Purves, now rector
of Holy Trinity, Minneapolis. The
next incumbent was the Rev. A. T.
