THE LOST CHILD.
A Dramatic Incident ut an Ocean
Grove Experience Meeting.

Grove Experience Meeting.
1t had been an experience meeting,
Ten thousand people were assembled
in the great auditorium by the sea.
There had been the handshake. the
waving of handllerchiefs, the hymn,
the prayer, the word which told the
spiritual history of many soul.
The bishop stood upon the platform
in the act of pronouncing the benedic-
ton. Emotion was at its height. 1t
seemed as If n spiritual wave had
swept over the multitude, wrapping il
in divine caress.
At that moment little child was
passed up to the platform, and the
bishop took it in his arms. Lost
child" were the whispered words. The
baby put its dimpled arms about the
bishops neck and laid its head upon
his shoulder, its yellow curls mingling
with his gray hair.
"Lost child" said the bishop in his
deep, sympathetic voice. docs any one
in the audience know this baby or to
whom it belongs? Will the father or
mother come and claim it?"
There was silence, and the baby nes-
tied closer. and the women who sat
near said, "Ohr'
Then a man was seen making his
way to the altar. 1t was the baby's ia
Their. Instantly the child stretched out
its arms to go to him. Then as he gave
1t up the bishop said:

Grove. The Fathers arms are waiting
to receive them. So go to your Fa-

The Wrong Way.

Fathers and mothers who do not know
how and where their sons and especial
ly their young daughters spend their
evenings are guilty of Il negligence that
is little short of criminal and that, too,
often leads to sad consequences. The

folks have their own way" in choos-

A Rainy Day In Japnn,

In the houses, the streets and the

but a day of absolute fascination.

How Is This for Nerve ?

In other cities some newspapers that
have shown up local abuses, including the
disgraceful and corrupt performances Of
municipal governments and outrages per-
petrated in the management of public in
sttutions, have been rebuked by local con-
temporaries for giving their cities a bad
name, but appearances seem to indicate
that they have not suffered any loss by
reason of PLAIN speaking. We suspect it
is always profitable for paper to tell the
truth, and nothing but the truth, as to all mat.
ters Of general interest. And if 1t be deemed
inexpedient to tell the whole truth, care
must be taken not to make the suppression
equivalent TO lying. If local abuses could
escape publicity, they would have that
which they most desire. Reform would
have hard road if the press winked at
evil-doing on the part Of public servants. -

Gently happened to the late Osborne Ward

was a Government scientific expert, and
was sent out to do a months work in the
field collecting certain information. Men
sent out on such work are allowed three
dollars per day for subsistence, in addition
20 theirEregular salaries, but Ward was OPP
posed to thislon principle, maintaining that
only actual cost Of subsistence should be
charged, he being an advocate Of rigid
economy in public expenditures and very
austere and self-denying in his habits Of
living.
As heswas also desirous Of giving an OBJ
iect lesson as to how the burdens Of the
taxpayers might be lightened aud expenses
kept down by men engaged in field WORK,
he did not patronize the good hotels, but
bought his frugal meals Of sandwiches aud
bananas from lunch counters and fruit
dealers, charging in his account only the
fifteen cents or so that he had actually paid
for each repast. He returned at the end Of
the month and turned in an expense ac-

count so trihing in amount that he tondly
imagined that it would be a marvel and a
model for the department to which he was
attached. With glowing thoughts he pre-
pared himselffo the warm and enthusiastic
appreciation of his bureau chief, but poor
Ward was in the wrong camp He was
sadly at fault in supposing that this is the
sort Of thing that meets the appreciation of
Republican managers.
When his account came up to the Con.
troller it was entirely disallowed on the
ground that there is no authority in law for
purchasing bananas and sandwiches, so that
all that the honest and patriotic Ward got
for his commendable efforts was the hoarse
laugh from these Republican eneouragers
of looting methods in the Governments
service.
II he had engaged in riotous extravagancs
and wholesale plunderiug OF public funds,
he would doubtless have secured Repub-
lican admiration and support, and Mark
Hanna might have rushed to his aid as he
has done in the case of Rathbone. 1t is
dollars TO doughnuts that Hanna never
heard of Ward as he had not that genius for
loot that would have attracted the favorable
notice of the big Republican magnate.
