that labor and are heavy laden. and
will giys you rest" came to her heart
that day with new meaning and new
hope. And l found the poor. tho des-
perately poor. to whose temporal needs
was not able TO minister. but TO
whom the Lord blessedly opened the
way to serve. them In their spiritual
needs.
1T was an unfamiliar road over
which travelled had never been
that way before. and knew not what
I would meet with along Its pathway.
and rather strangely but providentiai-
ly. l believe. the first opportunity came
to me at the county poor house. II was
not silver coin which had to give TO
the poor that day. but l did long TO
break the alabaster box of my love
and devotion at the feet of my Lord In
order that He might take and use II
to the blessing of some poor soul. AS
l entered the poor house grounds
permission to visit the inmates OF the
place. both in the building and upon
the grounds, which were shady and
comfortable with their benches under
the trees A group of six or eight aged
and decrepid men were gathered there.
l had my Testaments and Scripture
cards handy, and as entered the
group gave each card and spoke
CHEEKY how-de-do. Here were men
with place to stay and meager daily
food to nourish the body. but no place
to call home. All! how prayed that
the Lord would enable me to speak
some word of His eternal brightness
and truth which would shine as bea-
con light to the poor souls and light
their way to Heaven. l did try to tell
them Of the Christ and the mansions
He had gone to prepare In the heavens
for them that love Him. Some seemed
to understand. Some were German
and could not understand my speech.
They were all interested and know

seemingly more intelligent than the
rest. displayed much interest in the
things whereof ! was speaking. gave
him Testament and the last saw Of
him he was seated, with the others
about him. reading the precious Word
of God. Perhaps that day new visions
were opened up to him which will
grow brighter as his failing days fade
into the grave. Perhaps some day the
pauper whom met that day will greet
me on the other side and we will re-
joice together in the riches and COM
fort and Joy of the Fathers house. God
looked down upon that ill-sorted group
of human beings. His gaze penetrated
the homely, ill-fitting garments Of the
paupers and my not elegant, but bet
ter dress, and saw beneath the needy
souls of each and ALL ''for God is no
respecter of persons" But for the
grace and favor of God l might have
been numbered among those lonely
outcasts. Be that as 1t may, God in
His love was tenderly yearning to-
wards these souls as He was towards
me, and | needed the blood Of Jesus
Christ to cleanse me from all sin even
as did they. 1t is good sometimes to
strip ones self of social distinction
and worldly position and favor and try
to view the naked soul as 1t is placed
along side of the soul of one whom the
world hardly deigns to look upon and
considers burden because public
funds are needed to house, clothe and
feed the poor outcast.

ROYAL COPPER JEWELRY.
Links, Belt Buckles and Varl-
Gus other Articles.

Copper is the latest of the COM
mon metals to become the object Of
the jewelers. work. 1t is the most
fashionable as we'll as the newest
of the metals so employed, and all
the smartest things in the way of
sleeve links, card and cigarette cases,
belt buckles, vases and the like show
it. 1t is highly ornamental, so used,
and remarkably beautiful, says the
Kansas City Times. 1t holds the
same relation to silver and gold as
do gun metal, which is essentially
steel, and kay kayserzin, which has
block tin for it's basis.
1t is made up in combination with
silver, is reddish in hue, highly pol
ished, and it costs just about the
same as would a similar article of
solid silver. 1t affords a relief from
the somber gun metal and the shiny
silver, and some people think it is
prettier than either.
Many of the new articles shown
this fall are delightfully."- artistic.
Sleeve links of the royal copper with
silver rings and silver-imposed heads
and the like were much admired. Sill
yer vases with copper holders, and
especially silver and copper card and
smokers cases, are among the most
in demand. The metal is also used
for TASKS, brushes, whisks and toilet
articles generally. 1t is scarce at
present, but will become more plen-
tiful as the makers are better
equipped for turning it out.

GOATS FURNISH THE MILK.
The PEOPLE of Malta Derive Their
Entire supply of Lactea1 Fluid
from the Animals.

The population of the island OF
Malta, situated in the Mediterranean
sea, amounting to some 100000 souls,
derives its entire milk supply from
the goat herds that abound in that
little speck of rock. 1t is estimated
that there are about 10000 goats on
the island. There are no regular
grazing fields for goats, but every
morning the herds are driven out
along the roads and hillSides, where
they pick up whatever they can find
in the way of weeds or any other
edible matter. which. however, sell
dom includes gre ). This is supple
mented by carol beans when the
herd is driven back to shelter at
night
How the Maltese goat can give the
quantity and quality of milk which
it does upon this food is matter
of frequent conjecture and it is out
of the question to get anything but
thin and watery milk from cows un-
der the same conditions. An average
goat produces Az pints of milk per
day and the animals cost from $40
to S25 each. No special effort seems
to be made by the natives to pre-
serve strains, but, nevertheless, the
Maltese goat manages to keep up its
reputation for looks and productive
ness

THE DEFECT IN THE RECORD.
English and French Rather Mixed
in the Minutes of a Religious
Conference.

At a Baptist convention recently
held in the south the minutes of the
first day were recorded by a man
of calm and deliberate speech, while
one of the speakers of the occasion
was a quick-tempered gentleman
named French. By some oversight no
record was made in the minutes of
Mr.. French's words, and when the
minutes were read next day Mr..
French was quickly on his feet, with
the remark that he objected to the
minutes being accepted.
son what grounds do you object?"
questioned the presiding officer.
81 object to the English; the re-
port is not in good English" said the
gentleman.
A pause ensued, while everybody
looked at the recording secretary,
who slowly rose to his feet.
"Well, gentlemen" he remarked, in
calm, deliberate fashion, 81 won't
defend the English of the report,
but I admit there was no French in
it."
A burst of merriment greeted his
words, and the minutes were ac-
cepted.

GARDENING" OF CHILDREN.
suits Apt to Follow Unwise Meas
ures Sometimes Adopted.

Hecker is outspoken in his objec-
tons to the methods pursued in the
so-called hardening" of children by
the means of cold dOuches or baths.
AS a rule, children thus treated are
more susceptible to nasal catarrhs,
throat affections, bronchitis and pull
monary infammations than those
who have not been subjected to the
hardening" process, says the New
York Medical Record. Furthermore,
such measures frequently give rise to
pronounced anaemia and various dis
orders of the nervous system. Chill
dren so hardened" are especially
prone to acute and chronic intestinal
disorders.
While in healthy children a properly
conducted hardening" process is
often of advantage, it must be remem-
bered that there are no hard and fast
rules, and that every case must be
treated according to the individual in
dications. The fundamental princi-
pies of a proper hardening" system
are as follows: O Gradual acclima-
ton to the air Of the room; (2) grad
ual acclimation to outdoor air; CO
gradual acclimation to cold water;
az suitable clothing--yaried accord
ing to the weather and time of year.
Great care should be observed in ac-
climating the child to cold water, and
the effects of the same should be care
fully watched, the endeayors being at
once suspended on the disappearance
of any unfavorable symptoms.
On no account should any of the
hardening" measures be commenced
until the nursing period is passed, and
in all cases the process should be one
of gradual advancement.

THE LITTLE MAN WAS THERE.


81 don't suppose you'll think it's true,
The story that l tell you here,
But it's the solemn, through and through.
However wild 1t may appear.
Twas in an Oklahoma town,
Where men were rough in speech and
dress,
And every man was loaded down
With a dozen weapons, more or less.
WED gathered in the slttin' room
OF Badgers boardin' house one night
When Broncho Bob began TO fume
And fret and banker for fight,
He stood somewhere round six foot three,
And, Moses! what a fist he had
He'd killed a man or two, and he
Was what in commons known as Bad.
"He rose up there before the crowd
And sassed the landlord for awhile,
Because the latter had allowed
He didn't like the formers style,
And when the landlord run away
The big chap shook his fists and swore;
He said he'd lick the crowd If they
Would kindly step out on the door.
Nov all this time little chap
Sat tippn' back against the wall;
His hands were folded in his lap.
He hadn't said a word at all.
His face was kind Of pale and thin,
His eyes were sort Of soft and sad
He sat there quiet, takln' in
The brawny bully who was Bad.
" Pm Broncho Bob the bruiser said;
Volcanoes shut up when I roar;
II thunders when I shake my head,
Rea~5 lo5,7 Ii me anu breathe no more!
Tn jagged lightning on the go,
I'm hurricanes and cataracts!-
Don't think / say 1t boastin', though,
In merely givin' you the facts.
"And so he he ranted fit to kill,
Insultin everybody there
The little, pale-faced Teller still
Was tipped back quiet in his chair
He stamped the floor and ragged around
And got so rippin' bad at last
You couldn't have made out the sound
OF seven freight trains goin' past.
"About the next thing that we knew
He'd pulled a gun, and then ana there
A dozen men or so withdrew,
Not carin' how nor loOkin' where.
Some left by goin out the door
And some took window sash along;
Some tried to crawl down through the
floor,
A thing that insist was wrong.
"Right here the part that's strange comes
in
I've told you of the little chap
Who looked so sad, whose face was thin'
Whose hands were folded in his lap
Well. when we'd run a mile or so
And stopped at last to get our breath,
We found him with us there, and oh,
I swear It, nearly scared to death"
