A Timely Dividend

Things had come to pretty sorry
pass with the Yoakums, and it was
about all Miss Flo could do to keep UP
her spirits Her mother and sister
had come to look upon her as the main
stay of the little family, because she
managed to exc out about 81 a week
regularly addressing envelopes. Marie
had earned few dollars in the two
years since their father died, but the
and fierce looking fairies which she
painted on card board didn't hold out
be sure they had a roomer who paid
$3.50 week, but it's quite a trick
to say nothing of appearances. on an
average income of about $3.50 a year.
Flo tried to make a joke of it, but
when mamma really wished to go out
and each of the girls was obliged to
contribute a garment, pair of shoes
Or hat to make Mrs. Yoakums toilet
complete. it was not easy to keep up
the laugh with which the handsome
Flo managed to greet each of their
successive hardships. They lived in
a dngy two-story house that would
have been as squald within as with
out if it had not been for the scrupu-
lous cleanliness and incesSant indus
try of the two girls. They kept every
thing as clean as a new pin, but de-
spite their gentle Ways and everlasting
care, the old tapestry on the parlor
floor was mapped and dia agrammed into
threadbare islands, canals and estuar-
les. The old haircloth furniture, be-
sides being decade out of date, was
full of holes, rlckety and scared.
Never might mother and daughter, nor
yet the two sisters, so out together.
They hadn't enough clothes to go
around. Company was out Of the ques-
though Flo and Marie were very pret-
ty, pride restrained them from disclos-
ing the scantiness of their possessions
even to the grocer's clerk, who having
fallen desperately in love with Marie,
sought to improve her acquaintance by
calling.
She was out. Flo told him, and there

she dare not encourage rising within
her breast, " did you wish to see her,
sir?''

II would have been a fortune for his

of their getting anything out OF the

Last evening DR.. Reid again examined
him and found that there were no bones
broken In the collision with the train but
that the man had received bad cut over
the left eye as the result Of being hurtled
through space into pile cI rocks. Two
stitches were taken in the cut, and It was
decided that the mans side where the car

Hebrews in Hourly Dread
Of Death.
NEW RIOTS AT PENTECOST
Whole Province Seems TO be in
State Of Fanatical Fury Against
the Jews.

Berlin, May 22.-The singular state
Of mind Of the townspeople of Kish-
ineff, Bessarabia, while they were kill
ing the Jews there Is described in a
letter from a non-Jewish German of
Odessa, received by the relief commit
tee here. He said:
'The leaders Of the bands on enter
ing Jewish dwellings often addressed
the occupants good naturedly, saying:
Poor brethren! We must Kill youi
1t is SO ordered
''Monstrous things were not done
until robbers began to participate and
when they with the Christian zealots
became intoxicated"
The state Of terror Of the Jews at
Kishineff, the letter adds, continues. A
fresh massacre Is expected there, and
the Jews Of Odessa and Of all the large
towns Of Bessarabia are living in
hourly dread OF death. The whole prov
ince seems to be In a state Of fanatical
fury against the Jews.
"It Is the Cars VIM
The writer Of the letter then says.
''The excitement is intensified through
proclamatlons distributed In the streets
and the tone of the bitter and-Semitic
newspapers The Russians say to their
educated and tolerant countrymen who
urge keeping the peace:
"'It is the cars win that the Jews
be everywhere robbed Orders have
been given that we start again al Pen

body from May 24th to 30th. Unusual &C.
tiyity has taken possession Of the Army's
energetic members In anticipation Of this
great effort
The Army's benehcient operations are
maintained purely By the free-will offer
ings Of the people The need Of its vast
missionary labors among the heather
abroad and the down-fallen at home are
chiefly met through the agency Of self
denial The Army is doing splendid work
in its industrial homes, Rescue and Ma

week is remarkable and it would probably
be hard to find wearer Of the uniform

rifce denied himself Of some luxury or
partial necessity of food or clothing by
