Memphis Sunshine.

=.
Memphis. Tenn, has Sunshine home
for aged men which at present has fifteen
inmates.
Four years ago eight or ten men, at the
suggestion Of representatives Of the Inter-
national Sunshine society, formed them
selves into an association for the relief of
old men whose fortunes had declined as
their winters piled upon them. It was at
first suggested that the association be
made branch of the international assoc
citation, but the gentlemen in question de-
.cided to work as Memphis men helping
Memphis men, and SO the organization
stood. From the beginning, Judge T. J..
Latham was the head, and to his efforts
largely is the success Of the undertaking
due. He Is the central spirit Of the whole
work.
An old asylum building was purchased
and several thousand dollars expended in
it's ref1tting. This debt was cheerfuIly
assumed and at the present time there
only remains 1000 to be paid. The in
mates of the home are not charity pa
They live there and pay their way as they
CO. The amount Is small-$S to SIS a
month-and the way is made easier for
them because their steps are slow and
their strength is unequal to hard climbing
or rough walking. Without the home they
would be brought face to face with hard
ships and troubles which would outwear
their strength and bring them down pitt
fully to the ground. With the home they
| may live happily and approach the gate
| way to another world in the cool OF even
ing, peacefully happily, unafraid
| And this would seem to be the true es-
sence of charity-to help another without
taking tribute Of his pride or robbing him
| of his Independence

Patience.

OF virtues, patience is the crown;
If fortunes smile or darkly frown
If life be set in pleasant places,
Or sorrow every bliss effaces;
Since patience doth our joys increase,
And to our troubles whispers Peace"
Plant patience in the garden Of thy soul,
The roots are bitter, but the fruits are sweet
And when at last it stands-a tree complete
Beneath its tender shade the burning heat
And burden of the day shall lose control
Plant patience in the garden of thy soul.

Making Good Progress

HELENA, Jan. 2l.-With the third
week Of the legislative session ended,
the states lawmaking body may be
said to have gotten into fair working
order and ready for the actual trans.
action Of business. Thus far, though
a few measures of general interest
have been passed in each of the two
branches of the legislature, the atten.
ton of the legislators has for the
most part been confined to prelimin.
aries. And these are not yet entirely
out OF the way, but the situation Is
such that they can hardly hamper the
work OF the legisl ature during the re.
mainder Of the session.
The work of the past three weeks, in
the opinion OF a number of the leaders
among the lawmakers, compares with
that of similar periods in past SEES
sions. II the work of the remainde,
OF the session is not hampered by OBJ
structive tactics on the part of som,
who are disposed to tilibuster. a goot
deal may be accomplished before tn,
lawmakers shall have finally ad
journed.
