patient has been ill nearly two weeks,
the symptoms OF the illness strongly in
dlcat:ng that the case was one OF appen-
dicitis from the first and later manifested
that an operation would be absolutely
necessary to relief the patient and effect
recovery. The removal OF the vermi-
form appendage disclosed the fact that
nine small shot had become secreted
there, causing the operation that became
necessary in order to safe the patient S
life. The only explanation that could
be made for the presence OF bird shot in
his intestines is that they may have un-
knowingly been swallowed whilepartak-
ing OF wild game. The operation was
reported by the doctors as being one Of
the most critical and at the same time
highly satisfactory that has been per-
formed in this county. Dr. f. S. Smith

THE KNITTERs.

An hail to the little brown fingers
That pull the first blossoms of life,
And hail to the strong hand that fingers
To calm the hot pulses of strife!
But where, with the last light caressing
Their thin silver tresses, they sit,
Our hearts call down favor and blessing
Upon the old ladies that knit.
Their hands have long since dropped the
burden
That age made too heavy to bear,
And peace and repose are the guerdon
Ambition has burned down to embers;
Hopes outgrow the old nest and fit.
Alone with the love that remembers
They sit by the fireside and knit
Where now is the full mending-basket.
Not empty one day in the year?
Lest the dulled ear bent near you should
hear
Ear the children havesgrown and departed,
The work of the daylight is gone:
La the twilight of life, tender-hs arted,
The knitters are waiting for dawn.
Fall soon shall the light break above them,
That shines from the City of Rest.
Full soon shall we gather who love them,
TO fold their frai1 hands on the breast.
Oh evening of life, slow descending,
Rest gently upon each white head,
TTil these fingers. the last stitches ending,
Shall touch the first harp-strings in
stead.

Something i'm Reserve.

A young lady had a train to catch,
and chartered cab, which unfortun-
ately was drawn by very wretched
horse. Having told cabby that she
had to reach the station in 20 minutes,
away the vehicle dashed at five miles
an hour.
They had barely got so yards, how
ever, before the lady put her head out
of, the window and requested the
driver to whip the horse, as she would
otherwise miss the train. He accord
ingly did so.
A little further on she asked him to
administer the whip once more, as the
cab was only just moving. Cabby
again complied. Soon after she said:
Cant you hit him on the head sc
is to wake him up bit?''
Looking at the young lady, the
cabby exclaimed:

from experience in time, am afraid -
When Barbara went back to her
work the next morning, it was with
resolution to do something that
perhaps the talk with her mother had
suggested. In the afternoon she
asked Mrs. Ward for leave to go and
see Mrs. Vane, and it was readily
granted.
When she knocked at the door and
Mrs. Vane heartily babe her enter,
she was more excited than she had
been in long time.
"I want you to help me make a
test, Mrs. Vane," Barbara said, as
the old lady sat erect, confronting
her and looking straight at her with
those terrible eyes. Barbara, how
! ever, did not fear them. She under
stood the character of Mrs. Vane
thoroughly.

except one. She would have been a
very stupid girl if she had not noticed
the difference between her reception
by different ladies in the church and
that given other young women. A
few women to whom Mrs. Ward had
warmly introduced her had trea ted
her in every respect like anyone else,
with neither patronizing nor hypo-
critical manner.
She had been invited into a Bible
class by the superintendent of the
Sunday-school, and had been well
coined without any notice taken of her
position; but, as the weeks went by.
she was simply ignored by the major
ity of people to whom Mrs. Ward had
introduced her. One invitation from
a warm-hearted member of the class
she had accepted, to take tea at her
house; but her reception by other
young ladies who met her there was
not such as to encourage her to go
again.
AS far as the church was concerned,
she found herself simply passed by.
There was no uncivil or coarse con-
tempt of her. There was simply an
ignoring of her~as a part of the Mar
BILE Square congregation. For various
reasons she had not yet gone to the
Endeavor society. It met on Sunday
night before. the preaching service,
and so far she had reserved her Sun
day nights as sacred to her mother,
who did not feel able to go out.

the church, mother. But may be

think the best people in Marble Square
