Notwithstanding the varied charac-

Lawrence was surprised when one Of

YOU. MISSION.
abraham Lincoln. Tavorits Song,


Il you cannot on the ocean
Rocking on the highest billows.
Laughing at the Storms you meet:
You can stand among the sailors.
Anchored yet within the bay.
You can lend a hand to help them
As they dash their boats away.
II you are too weak to journey
You can stand within the valley
While the multitudes go by;
You can chant in happy measures.
As they slowly pass along.
Though they may forget tho singer
They will not forget the song.
Il you have not gold or silver
II you cannot toward the needy
Reach an ever-open hand:
You can visit the a1nicted.
Ger the errtng you can weep,
You can be true disciple.
Sitting at the Savior's feet.
II you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself q soldier true.
If where fire and smoke are thickest.
There's no work fer you to do.
When the battlefield ID silent.
You can go with careful tread,
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead.
Do not then stand idly waiting
For some greater work to do.
Fortune is a lazy goddess.
She will never come to you:
Go and tell in any vineyard.
Do not fear to do and dare:
II you want q field Of labor,
You can find II anywhere.

His Mother Took No cb,oce,.

She was a portly dame, with florid
complexion and voluminous skirts.
She was walking majestically down
Twenty-third street last week with
her arms full of bundles, looking the
picture Of content. In the hands that
held up her corduroy skirt was clasped
a thin chain, much like dog chain !;
but instead of the regulation poodle,
pug, or st. Charles spaniel trottins
along at the other end. was a small
boy Of perhaps hve years. who, when
ever fascinated by the alluring attrac.
tons along his route the maternal
hand gave the chain gentle tug. and
the small boy obediently answered thu
mute njunction.-New York Times.

~ Hartman received the following
letter:
MY wife had been suffering from a
complication Of diseases for tho past Is
years.
"Her case had bafflcd the skill Of some
of the most noted physicians. Ono Of her
worst troubles was chronic constipation OF
several years standing.
''She also was passing through that most
critical period in the life Of a woman

you about her case. You advised a course
Of Peruna and Manalin. which we at once
commenced. and have to say il completely
cured her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for these
wonderful remedies.
About tho same time I wrote you about
my own case Of catarrh. which had been Of
IS years standing. At times was almost
past going. I commenced to use Peruna
according to your instructions and continued
its use for about year. and it has COM

"Yes. SIR" said Joyce. his small
black eyes twinkling.
As Salome worked as a stenogra-
pher. in the Wampum Building-and
a very poor stenographer. II the truth
were to be told-of course Joyce saw
her come out Of the door. as she did
on this. as on every other evening.
at half past hve. He pretended not
to notice her. and accordingly she
took no note Of him. but walked quick
ly away-her cheeks reddening IN the
keen fresh air.
Two days after, when Salome came
down from her work she was met at
the big outer door BY Mr.. Maybee.
"Salome." he said. Won't you come
home to dinner? Here's Joyce with
the carriage"
And before she could speak he had
opened the carriage door. and was
helping her into 1t.
II shall walk" announced the old
gentleman. as he slammed the door
shut
Lewis sat inside Of that carriage.
and Salome found It out even before
she heard the door slam.

At the wedding, DR.. Bell was one
Of the few guests outside Of the Nay.
bee family. The keeneyed medical
man saw nothing to disturb his opin.
ion of himself. Lewis was well and
a happy man. That was certain. And
next to him in Joyous content stood
his father.

He paused, aghast at the effect of
| his words.
Mr.. Maybee looked the stricken man
! that he was.
At last he spoke: Hes in love
with that mink. Salome, my ward
ti4e girl from out West, you know,
and she's run away from him and
from mel was glad when she went.
She would have made his life

Lewis, Doctor? You know he Is my
ALL am alone but for him. Can't
you think Of something?"
We've tried everything" replied
DR.. Bell There's nothing to do but
let him alone. Perhaps he'll pull out
of it himself If we give linn time.
Anyway he will If he's the right sort
of man, and If he isn't"
Don't say that, Doctor. he's my
son!".
Mr.. Maybee was white and aged in
look, The blow had been sudden, this
serious turn in what he had regarded
as a piece of silly nonsense.
He sank back in his great leather
chair, when he had said goodnight
to the doctor Deep thought took hold
of him. He had no particular griev-
| ance against Salome Mcintyre. Her
father had left her to the care of his
old friend. and after she came from
college she had settled in the Maybee
home, which was ruled, as to its do
mestic affairs, by Aunt Sophie-an an
| cient widowed poor relation of great
pride and self-importance.
| All had gone well until Lewis came
home from his trip around the world.
| He fell an easy victim to Salome's
big blue eyes and pretty ways. The
father saw at once what had hap
pened. His plans for his son were
sadly interfered with. He tried to
pack Salome away on a visit to her
western friends, but the girl wouldn't
go. Then he had what he called
business talk" with her He ex-
planned how little money she had and
told what pains he had been obliged
to take to save for her even that, and
talked about her earning her own way,
and the upshot of the business talk
was, that Salome left the house, bag
and baggage. She wrote for an &C.
counting as to her small property,
through an attorney. Mr. Maybee
promptly turned the matter over to
his attorney and the lawyers settled
the whole affair within a month. Sa-
lone prepared herself, and went to
work as stenographer. but she an.
nounced her plans to no one. ~
Lewis. easily led to believe that
Salome had fed before his lover.like
attitude, was in despair. He was
trotted here, and galloped there,
South, East. West and North, by sea,
by land, in foreign countries and at
home, and he grew daily into settled
invalidism.

coachman on his box.
Joyce took OF his hat and then
leaped down and stood ready to speak
to the fair and dignified young woman.
She asked after the mans family,
bowed again, smilingly. and walked
quickly away, down the long, hghted
street.
It was half past five in the evening.
More than one pair of eyes noted
the chance meeting upon the sidewalk
The coachman climbed back to MS
seat, muttering to himself.
He was waiting for his employer
Henry Maybee, the railway masnate.
At last Maybee came out into the
open air rejoicing in his liberty AS
he opened his carriage door, Tor him-
self. Maybee was arrested by the
sound of honest Joyce's voice.
1--WE Just seen Miss Salome, SIT.
Where" asked Maybee, looking up
and down the street.
"She came out Of that big door, sir,
an hour ago, and she stopped and
asked after the children, and then
went her way without saying any
thing about herself"
"Well-which way?" Maybee's voice
was anxious.
Gust down street-that way" said
the man.
"very good, thank you, Joyce"
"She do be workin' in this big
place." said Joyce.
Mr.. Maybee stepped into the car
riage, closed the door; and Joyce
gathered up the reins for the home
ward drive.
Before the fire sat Lewis. the rich
mans son. He looked up when his
father came in. His salutation was
but an Indifferent murmur.
The elder man affected a brisk
cheerfulness. He drew his chair to
the fire. threw the evening papers to
Lewis, and feigned not to :.otice that
they dropped upon the rug.

the sameness of life that the doctor

His face drooped again--the pale,
listless face.
He sat down far back in his deep
chair, and to his fathers ear there
came the whispering sound Of a half
stifed sigh.
Henry Maybee. too, bowed his head,
and sat looking into the fire.
Then he telenhoned to DR.. Bell, ask
ing the old physician to come and see
him, that evening. if possible.
When the two friends were seated
together in Mr.. Maybees study, the
railroad man began without any ifs
or butts:
What shall do with Lewis, Doc

Whats the matter with him?"
asked DR.. Bell.
