A SMALL SUCCOR.
M AYOR KIRKENDALL Of Wikesbarre told at a rect

MAYOR KIRKENDALL Of Wilkesbarre told at a recep-
lYA ton a story about a young Wilkesbarre clergyman.
"He was married a year ago. the mayor said, 'and his
wife, a good girl, interested him in a charity for miners
orphans. He advocated this charity often from the pulpit,
and, when a subscription reached him, he would acknowledge
it the next Sunday in church.
cit happened that, last June, there came to this minister
on the same day a subscription for $25 and a young son.
IA good deal of laughter was excited the following Sun
day when, rising in the pulpit, the minister said that he felt
very grateful for the small succor that had arrived during the
week past" ~ -~.

A Smile and a Song.

There is hope for the man who struggles
To win in the endless throng-
There is hope, l say
Tho the skies be gray,
If he works with a smile and a song.
There is hope for the toiler weary,
Tho the task and the road are long
There's joy in the world,

A HOT CRITICISM.

tl1RET HARTE'S daughter, Ethel Bret Harte, - said an
= editor, lis ill in London; i'll and impoverished, and a
fund is X being raised for her support.
nShe is a charming young woman. I have often urged
her to write a book Of anecdotes, for she has an exceedingly
rich fnnd Of stories about her fathers contemporaries.
s.she told me, when last I saw her, a story about Irving's
youth. =
s.Trving narrated this story to show the strange kinds of
criticism that an actor gets. He said that, in Birmingham,
in his early days, he once gave to a waiter IN a restaurant
a pass for Hamlet
.He did not tell the waiter he would play the leading
role. He did not let on that he was an actor at all. You
see. he wanted to get from this supplemented and yet IN
telligent waiter an honest criticism on his work.
$50 Irving duly played Hamlet the waiter duly oc-
cuniod his free seat turnout the performance and the next
dav the actor visited the restaurant for his late breakfast
* well, he said to the waiter, you saw "Hamlet" last
night, eh?'
eThe waiter scowled as he replied:
"sYes, I did, and who's going to pay me for my tme?' =

The princess is especially FOND of child

Her mother, the duchess of C~onnaught,
is a very earnest and sincere worker for

That she has profited by this teaching
