Sir Thomas Upton has gallant way
of paying pretty compliments to wom-
en-, says the New York Tribune. Driv-
ing through Washington on the day he
took luncheon at the White House with
President Roosevelt, he passed a huge
red automobile that stood before an
imposing mansion of gray stone. A
young girl in a white gown sat in the
automobile, and as Sir Thomas gid
ed by she bowed to him, smiling a
radiant and charming smile. He, how
ever, failed to see her.
The young girl looked embarrassed,
vexed. She bit her lip. She thought
for a moment. Then she took hold of
the wheel of her machine, pressed with
her small foot the bulb that made the
horn toot gruffly, and swiftly and
smoothly she shot after the English
knight.
Soon the great automobile overlook
the carriage and halted. The young
girl, an old friend of Sir Thomas, ex-
tended her hand, and as he took it
she said, reproachfully:
You passed me a little while ago
without looking at me-
With gallant smile and inclination
of the head, Sir Thomas answered:
IF l had looked at you 1 couldn't
have passed you"

MOURNING STAMPS.

The announcement comes that the
Postoffice Department will probably
accede to the numerous requests" that
have been addressed to it, and make
an extra issue of postage stamps, to
| be printed in black ink, for the use of
| persons in mourning. The applicants
for the mourning stamps it is said,
have pointed out that 1t is inartistic
to affix coIored stamp to an envelope
bordered with black. The lack of har-
mony between the envelopes and the
stamps jars harshly on the nerves of
those whose sensibilities have been
whetted to fine edge in the observ-
ance Of social niceties; and there are
persons who take their mourning as a
attention attracted to their bereave-
ment and the punctiliousness with
which they are performing the sack
cloth and ashes act. They are even
willing to endanger their health
and make more or less miserable those
around them, for the sake of appear
ances. And a mourning stamp delight
fully sombre and suggestive of mortu-
airy urns and weeping willows, would
be such a boon to such persons! Every
missive sent by them through the
maiIs-and it is likely that the num-
Der mailed by them would be in
creased-would be a notice to all be-
holders that the sender was bowed in
what the world would please believe
to be black sorrow
There are hearts that are never heal
ed after having been bruised by the
death of a loved one. While life lasts
grief for the irreparable loss is felt.
But how much of the mourning that
we see, that is the conventional wear
ing of mourning garb and employment
of mourning emblems, is of that char
acter? Is not much of the black worn
cere sorrow felt? Is it not worn be-
cause people expect it?" The true
heart bowed down by weight of woe
needs not to be advertised, and shrinks
from advertisement. The sorrow that
is sincere, the mourning that is real,
is neither mitigated nor intensified by
the badge of crepe; nor would black
postage stamp be balm to a bleeding
heart.
The request for a mourning stamp IS
within of fashion" that should be
disregarded BIZ the postal authorities
If it were granted, the time would not
be far distant when there would be a
demand for orange blossom stamps
with which to send wedding invita-
tons, and baby-blue and babypink
stamps for the announcements of in
teresting domestic events some time
later.

Two on the CITY OmciaI.

A well-known and popular city Of
fetal was listening to the band contest
at Electric Park Tuesday in company
with several friends, when a delega-
ton of visitors from the West passed
by, says the Baltimore Sun. Stopping,
the leader of the delegation asked
casually:
Say, friend, do you live here?"
"Yes," responded the unsuspecting
Baltimorean courteously. Instantly, in
stentorian chorus, all the cheerful gang
chanted:
'Then-why-don 't-you-m-o-v-e?"
The City Hall man was too greatly
surprised to reply. Seeing that he
was somewhat confused, as the Incl
dent had attracted considerable at
tention, the leader of the Westernere
remarked in placating tones:
well, never mind; you have some
thing here anyway, that we haven't
in the West"
What is that?" asked the local man
1.-The East!" shouted the jolly Elks
of the West in triumphant chorus, and
then they passed on.

IN THE MORAL VINEYARD.

An intelligent looking white lad of
16 years stood before a court in To-
ledo, O., one day last week to be SEN
ton showed that he had spent seven
years of his short life in the reforma-
tory. The judge was lecturing him
on his evil ways and warning him of
the terrible consequences Of a life of
crime, when he spoke up. IT never
had chance" he said. II never had
no mother to tell me what was right;
and, say, / didn't know there was
Jesus or that He died for me until
l went to the reformatory, and they
told me about it there Continuing,
he told a story of criminal associa-
tions and depraved surroundings, and
how he would like to be good boy
IF he had chance" that touched
the heart of the judge. That official
thereupon determined that If he could
arrange it the boy should have "a
chance for a better life The SEN
tence was suspended and the judge
said he would get a home with health
full surroundings for the youthful con-
Wet. And it is possible that he has
reached the parting of the ways and
will become a good and useful man.
Toledo is a city of homes and
churches and schools. 1t is a typical
American city, prosperous and with
some pretentions to culture. And yet
there are young white children in it
| that have to go to prison to learn of
the existence of Jesus and that He died
to save the world! Toledo, however,
is not peculiar in this respect. There
are probably many such children in
every city of considerable size; chill
dren who offer the possibilities of be-
coming respectable and useful citizens,
but who are growing up in a manner
! to make work for the police and the
courts and to fill the jails and give
! fruit for the gallows tree.
All this is an old story, of course.
1t has been told and retold year after
year, but it needs to be repeated often,
with this moral; The great field for
missionary work, the Geld that wjll
give the best harvest is not in China,
or Africa, or Bulgaria, but at our very
doors. We spend millions every year
to convert the foreign heather" who
often will not stay converted, and do
les for our own "heathens" who
will stay converted. We do not mean
to say the home mission field is neg
lected, but we have no hesitation in
saying that it does not receive the at
tention that it deserves. We need mis-
sionary work that does not merely
touch on the high places. but such as
will get down in the hollows and the
slums also and lift out the unfortu-
mates like the Toledo boy to whom we
have referred.
