Frances Willard and tho Lam plight
or,-Tho Mission Of q Flower.
by Frances Bennett Galloway.


No one ever spoke to the old
lamplighter, and if they had he
could not have heard them, for he
was as deaf as one of his own lamp
posts. A lonely old man, the only
brightness and cheer in Toms life
we're the village street lamps, which
he loved to set sglow IN the dusk OF
evening.
Occasionally Tom had spells of
drinking, whereupon some kind
neighbor, interested in his welfare,
would send him a letter of warning
and advice, which Tom read meekly
and never answered, being as dumb
with his pen as with his speech.
1t happened that Frances Willard
was spending the winter in Toms
village, seeking quiet and rest, and
she noticed the old lamplighter
trudging past her cottage door,
faithfully lighting the street lamps,
which were 30 few and far between,
and yet battlsd so bravely against
the gloom of stormy evening.
Frances Willard's thoughts we've
most earnestly engaged in her work
At this time, with every mail bring
ing her letters from Iceland, Austral-
ia, Japan, and the farthest corners OF
the earth, but she did not forget to
have mutton tsllow tied up in the
little msple-tree outside her window
to feed some hungry birds. . Frances
Willard never forgot anything that
was lonesome or hungry, and she
did not forget Tom, the lamplighter
She did not think of sending him
. lecture on temperance of any words
of warning or advice; no, not even
tract. Tom WAS lighting lamps out
in the darkness and night, and she
was his sister, also at work lighting
lamps in the darkness and storm OF
night, so she sent him an exquisite
white rose. A lovely girl carried it
to him, and you should have seen
Toms face, which for days afterward
lighted up with a radiance like one
OF his own lamps whenever he met
the girl who brought him this rose
At this warm touch OF sympathy
such q lamp had been lighted in his
heart IS will not go out through
eternity!
A young girl wrote to the superin
tendent of Wells Fargo Express
Company asking if their boxes might
be carried free. A courteous letter
was Immediately returned, and the
instructions given here are followed
by the flower children with great
care:
"Flower mission baskets, weigh
ing less than twenty pounds, con
tanning flowers or fruit may be car
ried and delivered free of charge
when addressed to charitable institu-
tions or organizations within the de-
livery limits of the cities reached by
this company, and forwarded from
Offices not more than one hundred
miles distant"

by. A complaint is likely to be
made and more stringent law
passed by the city. This seems
rather unfair to the little army of

UNCLE SANS PENSION LIST.

Analvzing the annual report OF the
United States commissioner OF pen
sions. the Denver News finds some in
teresting figures as follows: Ihe
sum of Sal 093.571. 40. was paid to the

preceding year pension payments as-
greeated $137,759,631.71 and the num-
her of persons on the rolls was 9aG-
B45.
There has been decline. therefore
in the twelve months period OF l.7S3
in the number of pensioners and an
increase of ,935.7s in the
United States commissioner of pen
sions.
The 994.762 pensioners on the rolls
are apportioned as follows: War of
the revolution, 3: war Of 1872. 9l9;
Indian war. $3.50; Mexican war,
1906; civil war 945,35S: Spanish
war, 1892; regular establishment
1874.
Every state and territory in the
union and neraly every known coun-
try on the face of the globe draws on
Uncle Sam for pension payments.
Ohio leads the procession. Persons in
that state have been paid S14,995 .535
in the fiscal year 1901. Pennsylvania
is second. with more than $l3,ooo,ooo
to her credit. and New York third.
with nearly $12.00O,000. Illaois and
Indiana each draw more than $1!.-
100000 year, and Iowa. Kansas onA

While these figures show NJ IN
