Dwight L. Moody and Ira D. Sankey. In December of 1899 the former was called from this earth and the recent sad news concerning the latter retires him from the field of active workers.
 During his evange1istic work MT. Sankey has written hundreds of Gospel hymns, and it is estimated that no few CT than 75,ooo,ooo copies of these have been sold in the last 30 years. His fa- nous Ninety and Nine" has echoed around the world and he himself has sung it thousands of times. This was his favorite song, and he always be- 1ieved it accomplished the most good. Next to '"The Ninety and Nine" he ranked Faith Is Victory" among his own compositions. Of course the roy alties on the enormous sale of his songs was considerable, but 1t is fact that is known to but few people that he never kept for himself a penny of these, believing that it was not right that he should profit by them. He es- tablished trust for the collection of his share of the royalties and every cent of them was turned over to the Northfie1d schools founded by MT. Moody. These royalties have amounted to more than half million dollars
 The little old organ here shown has been MT. Sankey'g constant companion in all his evangelistio work. Its ivory keys are almost worn through from | the thousands of times he has fingered them while leading song services. MT. 1 Sankey played on this organ long be- fore he thought of taking up his re- ] ligious work. He was always a lover of music and good singer, and he bought the organ soon after his return 1 from the civil war, when he settled down to the pursuit. of banking in Pennsylvania. It was in 1870 that MT. Sankey met MT. Moody in Indianapolis and six months later the famous duo started on their work accompanied by the little organ. Two or three years later they went to England, where they made their great reputation.
 The primary cause of MT. Sankey's af1iction is overwork. Although he was a man of powerful physique, six

feet tall and of robust build, he would never rest. He has been a prodigious worker all his life and the strain has finally told on him. The death of MT. Moody was great blow to him and he tried to take up the burden himself. His family saw his gradual breaking down, but he refused to listen to their pleadings and he continued in his work until illness compelled him to seek re- tirement, though it was much against his will that he did so. He would much have preferred to continue his active life so long as he lived. He so loved the work he was doing much more than he loved rest.
 Although MT. Sankey's knowledge of music was but rudimentary, he was a wonderful singer and could appeal di- rectly to the emotions of his audience. His was also a powerful voice and it is an authenticated fact that once he was heard singing mile and a quarter away by a man who was converted by the song.
 But now his days of labor are over and he has retired to his home at East port, L. l., where with his children and grandchildren and his old organ he will spend the remainder of his days in peace and quiet.

THE TRUCK PATCH.

You may bend your heads to listen to thu
 whisper of the trees. You can lie a-feelin' dopey i'm the dronin'
 of the bees, You can talk of mornin' glories hangin
 swayin' on their stems, An of vioIets a-noddn' crowned with dewy
 diadems-
 All of which is sweet, grant you-swayin'
 bloom and dronin' bee, But the little truck patch wonder sings a
 sweeter song to me I jest like ter sink my face in the sweet
 crinkly lettuce rows Till rise red-cheeked an smilin' with the
 dew drops on my nose; Bet love the fresh sweet lettuce with its
 crisp and crinkly ways, Bet at these here days of springtime are
 my green an salad days. When butter 'mongst the trellises to coax
 the climbin pea Bet that dittle ol' truck garden sings glory
 song to me!
 Like to tumble where strawberries are jest
 sorter hidin' out An where green big bellied cabbages are
 whisperin of krout, An the little or crisp radiShes an onions
 snuggle down. There's a poem in potatoes when their tops
 are turning brown! l could almost sing anthem to the
 luscious black-eyed pea, An the roastin' ears O springtime--bet they
 all appeal to me! Bet the larkspur an the violet are pretty
 things and sweet, +-..-, But they simply aren't in it when you're
 cravin stuff to eat, ....... An the perfumed breeze stirs sweetly in
 the knee-deep prairie grass But they's nothin' sways my heartstrings
 like a patch O garden sass! You kin prance across the prairie singin'
 loud an clear an free, But they's nothing but truck patch sings
 half glad enough fer me. -J. M. Lewis, in Houston Post.

In the ordinary course of things the gallant colonel would accompany his Hellenic majes- ty on his travels abroad every sum- mer, but his name was found to leave a train of dislocated jaws in the royal wake; moreover, it was charged as two words in telegrams and was mutilated by telegraphists beyond all recognition, so he is now left at home and gentleman of the name of Thom takes his place in attendance on King George on his annual visits to Aix-les- Baines and Paris.-London News.
