DR.. Rainsford tells a story of one of
the unsung heroes of the East Side. He
noticed tall, thin lad at the celebra-
ton of the Holy Communion looking
sadly pale and ill. Investigation
showed that the boys family was in n
bad way. His father, a bartender, had
no work, and his mother was i'll. The
only cash that came in to the family
was earned by the lad. 1t was neces.
sary that the woman should go to
the hospital for an operation. but she
was frightened at the thought of it,
and felt that if she could see her family
doctor, not an intelligent man, but cne
III which she had faith, she would be
better satisfied. They sent to asl,
what he would charge for coming to
see her. Three dollars" he sent back
word. The boy said he would earn
that amount. He had been accustomed
TO set apart ten cents for his daily
luncheon. He went without any lunch
con for one month to earn the So to pay
the doctor, and that is why he looked
so pale in the church at the end of the
month.-New York Press.

The terror inspired among the In

Mr.. Patterson, one of the engineers
of the line, describing the panic that
prevailed, says that the savage ami
mails feared nothing, neither fire, nor
weapons, nor the approach of the white
men. They would carry man in their

Lord Salisbury's announcement some
time ago that the works on the Uganda
Railway had been stopped for three
weeks by the rayages of two man
eating lions, was so far from being an
eXaggeration that it underestimated the
actual truth, says the Spectator
Although the progress of the railway
was perhaps suspended no longer than
three weeks, the depredations of the
enemy lasted from March to Decem-
Der. During that period twenty-eight
OF the Governments Indian workmen,
and it is believed fully twice as many
Africans, were devoured, and many

The haggard woman, with the baby
In her arms, faced about wrathfully.

Underneath, he don't feel that way.

the stern face of the judge. She had
caught the fragments Of talk back
by the door. People said Larry Knapp
was bold as brass. How could they
know it was only "his way?"
Suddenly the haggard woman uttered
cry. 1--WE got to go! I've got to be

"It's-prerty near" shuddered the

The girl crossed the great bare room
at bound, and was at the woman's

in her face lay genuine pity.

WSAT KNOW WEI

We know so little of the hearts
That everywhere around us beat,
So little OF the inner lives
OF those whom day by day we greet,
Oh, it behooves us one and all
Gently to deal with those we meet!
Gently to deal and gently Judge,
With that divinost charity
That thinks no evil, but would seek
The good in every soul to see,
Measuring not by what it is,
But by that which it strives to be.

What know we of the gnawing grief
That dims perchance our neighbor's way
The fretting worry, secret pain
That may be his from day to day?
Then let no idle words of ours
Sting to his heart with more dismay.
What know we of temptations deep
That hover round him like the night,
What bitter struggles may be his,
What evil influences blight?
Then be not hasty to condemn
If he have strayed from paths of right.

A HUMAN CURIOSITY.
Dual Heads and Bodies. Four
Arms and But Two Legs.

Near Dycusburg, on Friday,
Dec. 9TH, child was born to Mr..
and Mrs. Samuel Davis. The boy,
or boys, from its waiot upward,
consisted of two perfectly formed
bodies, two heads and four arms,
with but two legs. 1t was the first
born and weighed fully 10 pounds
The child expired at birth.
Medical science fails to account
for such dual children, and in the
case of the Siamese twins it was
not until a post mortem had been
held that any certainty existed as
to their anatomy.

The school authorities of Bos-

arating the white and negro pu.
pills in that city. The children Of
both races have heretofore attend
ed the same schools. There is a
strong prejudice against the sys-
TEN on the part of both whites
and negroes. The negroes want
separate schools, where their chill
dren will not be treated as inferi.
ors, while the motives of the white
