WHAT 'TORERE DID.
How the Death of a Little New Zea-
land Girl Brought a Savage
Tribe to Christ.

In the early days of the evangelical
ton of New Zealand there lived in
| Waikato a girl named Torere. Though
only eight years old, she learned to
read and to love a copy of st. Johns
gospel in Maori, which she always
begged to be allowed to carry with her.
| She was the daughter of a chief named
Ngakuku, who had become converted
through the efforts of a missionary.
Torere used regularly to read aloud
from her gospel in her fathers tent.
When the tribe became Christians
they decided to take the good news to
some of their friends in another part
of New Zealand; and for this purpose
Ngakuku organized a party of Is, the
little mission band including Torere
and her small brother. While hating
for the first night, the smoke of their
fires was seen by an u%nfriendly tribe
on the warpath, WHO bore down upon
them. Ngakuku, carrying his little
son on his shoulder, fled up the hill
with the others of his company. In the
darkness and confusion, however, To-
rere was forgotten; she lay asleep with
her gospel under her head. When the
war party found that the others had es-
capped, they spent their fury ON the lit
tie girl, who woke no more on earth.
They carried off the small volume with
the rest of the spoil. Some of its leaves
were used for cartridge paper, but the
greater part of the book eventually fell
into the hands of a young Maori, who
read it, and vas so impressed by it
that he ultimately became a Christian.
Eventually that whole tribe became
converted.
When the chief of the tribe, Torere's
murderer, realized the sin he had been
committing in taking the lives of his
fellow creatures, among others the lit
tie girl, he sent to his former enemy.
NgakYku, begging his forgiveness, and
also asking permission to enter a
chapeI-not the chapel Ngakuku at
tended, but one in his own village.
Without that mans good will he felt
he could not enter any Christian place
of worship. And we are told, says f.
| Hickman, in S. S. Times, that the two
men who at one time were at the
fiercest enmity subsequently "were
worshiping God together in the same
place." Such were the far-reaching re-
suits of a gospel in the hands of a Mao
| ri child.

Sinful Ambitions.

Sinful ambitions are like the balls of
snow which the boys roll on the play
ground in the winter. They are cold
and unsympathetic; and as they in
crease they gather up the dead grass,
sticks, pebbles and whatever will ad-
here to them; and finished they are
ephermeral as the snow out of which
they are formed. The sun shines upon
them and the soft south winds blow,
and they are gone forever, only a lit
tie heap of rubbish-the silt of all their

AN INVITING PROSPECT.

Will Canada in the next quarter of
a century take the place of the United
States as the great wheat exporting
section of the western hemisphere?
Everything points that way. In the
opinion of experts the United States
has reached high water mark as a
wheat exporting country. The in
~creasing population over there has
reached the point when home con-
sumption is becoming annually great
er in proportion than the increase in
wheat production. AS a matter of fact
wheat production is decreasing yer
there as the land becomes more val
liable, and by reason of the demand
for other forms Of produce for home
consumption. 1t is said that the
wheat crop this year is not more thai
70 per cen of the crop Of 1901, and
| much below the crops OF 1907 and
1908. 1t is estimated that this year
| the United States surplus for export
will not be over 100, 100000, which is
| less than any year since 1873 with
two exceptions. Not only is this the
case, but a considerable quantity of
| the best Canadian wheat is being i'm
ported into Minnesota and also Chi
cago.
All this tends to keep the price of
wheat near the dollar mark, and dol
lar wheat is the loadstone hat will
attract farmers to the Canadian
Northwest, where land is cheap and
a be farmed on a wholesale basis,
/ particulars of which may be had from
any Canadian Government Agent,
The reduction of American exports
will have the double influence of in.
creasing Canadian production and
keeping up the price. 1t constitutes a
roseate prospect for this country.

RESPECT FOR OLD AGE.
Nowadays One Must Be Patient With
It's Oddities.

Its Oddities.
One often observes the Impotence
with which young people of the kind
usually called "high-spirited" regard
the little oddities of those older with
whom they come in contact. Indeed,
it is with great effort that this impa-
tience is rendered unapparent, n
often scarcely that.
There is a respect which youth owes
age which must not be lost sight of,
and of course there is also a respect
which age owes to youth. However.
youth is the time of growth and self
restraint, and it is quite easy to in
dulge the little foibles of those thirty
and forty years older than ourselves
by remembering that they are older
and that charity or love must be ex-
ercised toward everyone whom we
meet, young and old alike.
Bad-tempered people used to be re-
garded as something out Of the ordi-
nary long ago, but nowadays we know
that s%elf-control is the only thing
which makes for progression, and that
we must live up to our ideals and our
belief in what is the highest and best,
whatever the cost.
Regard for the oddities Of those old
er than ourselves is part Of that doc
trine, and must be lived up to.-Phila-
delphia Inquirer.

BAILEY HAS FUN IN SPOKANE
Seattle Man With Big Roll Goes Hunt
ing for Mead Money.


SPOKANE, Wash. Oct. 2S.-Steve
Bailey of Seattle. arrived in town
yesterday looking for some of the easy
money which he had been informed
was lying around at several of the re-
publican branch headquarters.
For several days past it has been
of dollars" to be Wagered on Mead but
Bailey was able to find only about
S25OO. all the rest being withdrawn so
soon as it was learned that there was
a man in the city with a big roll to bet
that Turner would carry the state.
Bailey promptly covered everything
in sight. asking no odds. the only con-
ditiOn being that he would take no
single bet of less than $1,000. The larg-
est bet made was one of $1,000. The
hacker of Mead is unknown, the money
being placed by a local cigar dealer,
who said he was ONLY acting as agent.
In all Bailey covered about ten bets
and is looking for more, but the Mead
money all seems to have vanished.
Bailey declares his mistaken opinion
to be that Turner will win, and says he
is willing to back this opinion for all
the money the Mead hackers can raise
He is making his bets on the guberna-
tOrial contest alone.
