The Widows Mite.

In the vestitule of St. Paul's
German Lutheran Church IN
Chicago there hangs painting
of the Madonna and the Christ
child entitled, THE Sign OF the
Cross" The cost of the paint
ing was 81, ZOO, and it was do
mated by a member OF the
church.
The donor, doubtless, was a
wealthy member of the congre
cation. No; the picture was
presented to the church by one
of the humblest,m embers, Mrs.
Anna Kuehn-a widow and a
washer-womar.
And the story of self sacrifice,
mother love and humility that
goes with the picture deserves
an immortality the painter can
not give to the canvas.
The picture was given as a
memorial of the poor woman's
dead boy, her only child. who
died at the age of 8. several
years ago. BY patient toll aud
self abregation, Mrs. Kuehn,
Shaving at the wash tub. saved
the thousand dollars. When
visited at her home this woma n,
who had given her mite" ask
ed that her name be not used.
She said; 1T is for my little
boy who is dead. 1t makes nc
difference to the other people.

itarian hastens to say: Do you
remember the immortal story
OF the woman VINO poured bel

GOOD RO.ADS.

Connecticut was early in the good roads movement, and she is making good progress in it. Her example has helped to impress other States. At the meeting in Portland, Oregon, of the Na- tional Good Roads association the re- port of the secretary contained a num- Der of illustrations of the rapid devel- opment of feeling in favor of road con- struction, largely the result of cam paign of education carried on by the association through special car cam paign over western railroads. As to this it is said that good roads conven- tions have been held in twelve western States ,forty-six good roads associations formed, and about $34,0O0,OOO raised by bond issues and direct taxation for permanent road construction. Several States have created highway commits sioners, and others have taken steps towards utilizing convict labor on road building and road material.
 So far, so good, There is talk of ask ing national aid for great interstate road system, and though this will be strenuously objected to at first, it may by and by be embraced.

=--77 - - \ Job for the Women.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier.
 I saw piece in New Haven paper said to be from the Washington Star that if the women of the country can stamp out Mornonism the politicians who have vainly tried the experiment must take off their hats and bow low to the ladies, for it is for them to abol- ish it or to continue it., for they have got the full power. --Sow,es you will
 look in the Bible and in the second chapter of Genesis you will see there in the Fist. 22d and 23d verses where the lord has given them tbe full power to
 control the sect, and that must be done, and it is the only way that it can. be done, for the lawyers cannot make laws to abolish it only in one way. and that is to execute every Mormon. But the women can,' and they do not need any other law, but to follow the. laws of nature that the Lord has laid down for them, Now, Morinorisrn is caused by a surplus of women, which If there was a scarcity of the women there would not be any fof. Mormonism. Now 1t will take the women about forty years to do 1 away with Mormonisi1a. Now in order to accomplish this the women must all
 be educated how 1t is done and also
 they must all take. hold of it together.
 and also as they ' are accomplishing
 that they will also do away with the
 labor troubles and bring a permanent peace and prosperity to the world at large.

Lay of, the Ancient Golfer.

There's entertainment in the murmur of
 the wind among the pines; It is good to tear the melons. ripe and
 luscious, from the vines; There is something in the fragrance
 waited from the new-mOwn hay That brings up sweet recOlleetions and charms foolish cares away; There is gladness in the tapping of the
 ripples on the sand, E And it's thrilling when the ponies are
 lashed madly past the stand, But when all is said and done What on earth is better fun Than to loll back in a rocker When your clubs are in the locker And the porch is broad and shady and
 the siphon's close at hand. It is pleasant in a hammock when a
 girl sits with you there, If your skull is still protected by a decent growth of hair :, And your chin has not developed stub
 ply folds that overhang: And it's pleasing to go speeding with a
 zipp and swish and bang Where the road is wide and level, while your brow Is briskly famed By the breezes you engender as you
 shoot across the land,
 But the greatest earthly joy, As l figure 1t, my boy, Us to loll back in a rocker When your clubs are in the locker
 siphons close at hand. I have heard of foolish people who i'm
 agined it was fine TO go forty miles from nowhere for a
 chance to spin a line; And there are misguided mortals who
 demand no greater luck Than the privilege of chasing feet
 footed, agile buck; There are others who are ready to de-
 clare that it is grand To pay money to hear Vokner tortured
 by a frenzied band,
 But the greatest sportof all Is to cock your feet and Toll In a comfortable rocker . When your clubs are in the locker And the ice is in the goblet and the
 stphon's close at hand. Chicago Record Herald

co1FING FoRTH.

There was man who was so un- lucky that he said that if he had been Lazarus and had been called to come forth he would surely have come fifth. Perhaps there is a man or two of that kind among those who will graduate" this week, but if there is there is no way Of distinguishing him or them now. So it will be cheerful to assume that the world is impartially calling them all to come forth, and that they will all come forth. They will. of course. find it large world at first, and 1t may not treat all of them just as they would like to have it, but they will all get through it, just as several billions of their predecessors have. Let them tackle it with hope and even joy. It is a fine thing to be qualified to work, and it is fine thing to have work to do. By and by those who have worked hard and successfully can came back to the reunions and be con- gratulated, which is perhaps about as satisfying as anything, next to ones own approval of himself.
 Success to them all, and to the fail- ures the pleasures of continued hope. It Is a great thing to graduate honor i ably from Yale. It is an even greater thing to graduate honorably from the school of life.

.ExP.ENSTp!E.

Sympathy is sometimes expensive, but perhaps that ought not to be count ed against it. The Chicago strike fur flishes an example. The number of garment workers originally involved in the strike was seventeen; the number of teamsters called out was seventy one. Now there are more than 4,000 teamsters on strike; eight people have been killed; 100 persons have been re- ported injured there are about 2,4O0 policemen and 5000 deputy sheriffs on strike duty. The cost to the city of Chicago for extra police will reach $400,000, and the county of Cook will pay about sS5,00O for extra men on the sheriffs foree., The loss to teamsters in wages will be nearly $450,O00, and the assessments on employed teamsters will reach $250,0OO. It Is estimated that the cost to. employers for wages and lodging of strike breakers and the pro- tection of wagons will exceed $S0000O; that tile shrinkage in business to whole sale stores will be $2,0OO,OOO; to retail stores, $2,700000; to railroad companies, $1,250i0OO, while the loss to business concerns not involved will be $5,OOo, 900.
 Total loss about $12,0OO,0OO. It seems large, but perhaps the labor leaders can justify themselves to themselves and each other.

THE BETTER BALTIMORE

Baltimore had 8 big fire, and it seems
 to have been a good thing for the city.
 The Baltimore Sun points out that so far, at least, as assessed valuation is concerned the municipality is in an irn- proved position. The record of building operations proves that the zeal for im-
 provement developed among owners of property in the burnt district has ex- tended beyond the limits of that dis trict, and even manifests itself in the suburbs. Constructions and their value in the last fiscal year were three times as great as in 1903 and twice those of 1904. Besides the increase of $1S,0Oo, ,0OO in the assessed valuation in the burnt district, there is an estimated increase outside Of s6,000,000. The taxable basis, in word, is expected to be as much as $24,0 100000 greater than it was. The confiagration of 1904 appears to have had an educational value. When the
 question of rebuilding presented itself the people were not content to repro-
 duce the class of structures to which
 they were accustomed, but determined
 to adopt a higher standard as respects
 size and style. The new buildings in
 the burnt district are almost invariably handsomer than those they replace and
 far more convenient for the transaction
 of business. The improved standard of style and convenience has affected also.
 as already suggested, the parts of the city adjacent to the burnt district, so
 that the whole business area has been more or less transformed. The idea of
 improvement has become contagious.
 Residence areas, as we'll as suburban
 districts, profit from a larger invest ment in new structures and repairs. In
 1903 there were 1929 new improvements
