Weather Bureau Warns Against Cold

Rain and colder weather today is the
dose prescribed by the weather bureau,
and if it does not come on schedule
time the signs yesterday were indeed
deceiVing. The sky was dark and low
erirg, while a chilling northwest wind
conjured visions os snow-storms, sleet
and rain and plumbers bills. A cold
spell, while it will prove disagreeabIe,
is needed now, as otherwise the fruit
trees here would soon be in full bloom.

Making "Helen.s Bable." Go

John HabbertOn, the author Of "IIel.

the novel was about ready to appear.
"If you want to save the cost OF a
great deal OF advertising. Just give me
800 copies Of this book. and I'll guar
antee to distribute them 30 that well
have success without d cents worth
OF advertising being needed" The
publisher. little reluctantly. took Mr..
Habberton at his word.
The author thereupon made list of
all the important bookstores In the
United States and found out the name
Of the head of the department of ilc-
ton In each store. Now, the heads Of
all book departments are all flends In
the collection OF autograph first edi.
tions-that Is. with the authors sigma
ture upon the Imprint. There Is scarce.
iy an exception to this rule. Mr. Hab.
bertOn, being wise In all that concerns
bookstores. accordingly sent TO each
head u copy Of "Helen's Babies" that
contained not only his autograph, but
pleasant letter also that expatluted
on the merit OF the work. The heads
were delighted. They instructed their
statesmen and saleswomen In the book
department to boom "Helen's Babies"
to recommend 1t to every hesitating
customer. And thus the book succeed

wholly unprepared for the effect my

WOMAN'S SOCIAL POWER.

The power and influence that woman

which she should be grateful and use

a massive city church, thronged with

Monthly, recalls the fact that the
building is accredited to socially in
clined, cultured pastors wife, who had
the gracious gift of kindness. She
had winning way, and noticed that q
great many strangers came to the
church never to return. She made
M her mind that she would make them
feel at home. She took her position at
the close of service near the door and
greeted the strangers with cordial
handclasp and explained she was the
pastor's wife and that he would gladly
call on them if they would leave their
addresses. She had charming per-
sonality, and followed successfully
this plan till the old church, which was
almost dead, became filled with q
strong social and spiritual power, and
people recognized it as social "hand.

of fea thers.
His particular enemies were two kit
tens that were forever wrestling OF
pretending to fight, as kittens will.
The moment he spied them at their
antics he would hurry to the fray and
vigorously peck each little hard skull.
The kittens would then scurry for
dear life to the shelter of the back
stoop and disappear under the steps,
often with the Chicken Policeman"
in full pursuit.
If he failed to catch the nimhle kit
tens, he would sometimes perch on the
stoop above their retreat and patient
ly wait for furry head to show itself
As one slowly appeared, he would bal
ance himself, and then bring his beak
down on the unsuspecting Kittens
head, much to the owners surprise and
fright.
The kittens lives were made bur-
den to them until help finally arrived
in the shape of an ambitious and active
puppy who was given to a member of
the family.
Puppy was rather afraid of the kit
tens claws, but he lad no respect what
ever for the "Chicken Policeman" So
one day when that creature was vigor-
ously pecking a kitten, the puppy
era bbed him, and before help arrived
had shaken many feathers and all of

women in China and one native pastor
in Africa.
She does not forget home institu-
tions and causes, as the Cunningham
deaconess' home and orphanage and
other benefciaries can testify. It is
a constant wonder how much work
Mss johnson does. She attends to all
her correspondence, not infrequently
receiving hundred letters week, and
whether they be letters of inquiry or
remittances of money she allows no
letter to 60 unacknowledged, and at
tends to this herself personally.
How does she secure the money to
carry on her mission work? BY the
sale of silk bookmarks, which she
makes, and on which she has printed
choice selections of Scripture, gems
from favorite poets, birthday notes,
etc. These marks she mails to any
Christian workers who will superin-
tend the sale of them. She receives or
ders from individuals, Sunday schools,
leagues, woman's foreign missionary
societies and other organizations.
This consecrated soul and the work
she is doing are worthy of publicity,
both for the good accomplished in the
mission fields and the inspiration it
gives to other workers. None can en-
ter her room and hear her CHEEKY
words, see her illumined face, but to
go away with new inspirat ton and
courage to help in the worlds work.
Her father is retired business man
of Casey; he and his entire family of
wife and five children reside in the city,
and are held in high esteem by all those
who know them best. To some of her
pastor teachers she pays $500 per an
mum, to others $50, $50, etc.; to her ma
tive workers and Bible women from $50
to $50 per annum. There are no scales
on this earth fine enough to weigh the
work this shut-in child of the king is
doing.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

1NvALID'S GREAT WORK.
81 Her own Excrtlons Suffering Hill
nois Girl supports Ten Misyion-
airy Workers.

It has been said that suffering often
liberates and reveals the forces of the
soul. A phenomenal instance of this is
found in the little city of Casey, ILL.,, in
the person and life of Miss Lizzie L.
Johnson. Her struggle for 10 years
with mortal disease is something more
than impressive.
At about 10 years of age severe ILL
ness came upon her which developed
into q permanent affection OF spinal
character extending to all the nerve
centers. For 10 years she has been laid
on her back wholly una BILE to leave her
bed. She has the free use of her arms
and head, also some use of the limbs,
but her body is confined to one posi-
ton.
Those who have known her from her
childhood, especially from the begin
ming of her affection, find it difficult to
realize the magnitude of the work she
Is now doing and has been doing for
number of years. They feel that they
have never seen suffering and weari-
ness and the monotony of lying in one
position continuously so entirely over
come and treated as, if they were not.
The nature of her affection renders
her at times intensely sensitive to the
slightest noise or the presence of per-
sons in her room, or any touch of her
bed. This painful acuteness is not
constant; there are times of compare
tive rest from this, though at all times
the sense of touch is abnormally de-
veloped.
She has magnetic personality, a
fine, receptive mind, large originality
and a beautiful Christian spirit. Not
word of complaint or touch of re-
belliousness escapes her lips. The
theme that lies nearest her heart is
Christian missions, and in this field she
is doing great work. She began in
1894 on $50 borrowed capital. Up to
date the gross receipts aggregate $5,-
900. She supports in India five pastor
teachers, besides two Bible women.
She provides the money to support
three scholarships for three young
men in Chinzei seminary, Nagasaki,
Japan. She provides for two Bible
