Young Woman Bereft of Wealth BE
comes a Guide.
Athens has a professional woman
guide in the person of Miss Florence
Stone, an American. The way that
Miss Stone came to take up what Is
a unique calling for a woman In Eu-
rope is illustrative of the resources and
energy Of the American girl when re,
verses come.
Miss Stone and her mother were
travelling in Europe, when cable mes
sage came, telling them that their
money was all lost-absolutely gone.
There was not enough left to pay thelr
passages back to America. .#T
They happened to be in Athens when
the blow fell. Miss Stone who besides
being college graduate is an accom-
plished girl as well, ar once made up
her mind to settle there and support
her mother and herself by music les
sons. Then finding that cult1Vated
Athenians of the upper class were
anxious to speak English, she began
to teach her mother tongue.
But the Athenians, while they are
very nice, are apt to be very poor also
Then, anyway, prices In this Wonderlul
city of orange blossoms and nlgnun'
gales, of snow and ruins, are low. so
the plucky American girl was Degln,
ming to turn her attention to otner
means of keeping her modest nome
running, when Mrs. Custer, widow oi
the famous Indian fighter, happened "
visit Athens.
Miss Stone showed her the sightS
one or two days.
Then, "Why don't you become pro-
fessional guide" asked the elder W.,
man. you've made these ruins al
real to me, when the guide book lels
me cold. You know your classics anu
you know modern Greek. You nave
culture, artistic appreciation, atmos,

is declared not to be a radical innova-
ton for Presbyterians to have a ca

the plan do not in the strict sense con-
template a cathedral foundation. They
want great church, to cost at least
$2,000,O00, to stand before America
and the world as a material embodi-
ment of Presbyterians wealth, promi-
nence and power. So far as can be
ascertained in advance Of any general
meeting of leaders, the proposal meets
with little favor, Criticism of it is

The Need Of PRAYER.

Go not, my friend, into the danger
Gus world without prayer. You kneel
down at night to pray, and droWsiness
weighs down your eyelids; a hard
days work is a kind of excuse, and
you shorten your prayers, and resign
yourself softly to repse. The morning
breaks, and it may be you rise late
and so your early devotions are not
done, or done with irregular haste. No
watching unto prayer; wakefulness
once more omitted; and now Is that re-
parable? We solemnly believe not
There has been that done which can
not be undone. You have given up
your prayer, and you will suffer for it.
Temptation is before you, and you are
not ready to meet tit There is a guilty
feeling on the soul, and you linger at a
distance from God. 1t Is no marvel If
that Cay in which you suffer drowsi-
ness to interfere with prayer be a day
in which you shrink from duty. Mo-
ments of prayer tntruded on by sloth
cannot be made up. We may get ex-
perience, but we cannot get back the
rich freshness and strength which
were wrapped up nthose moments

There Is now an enemy of trees at

harder to overcome than the indiffer-
ence of laymen or officials, the rapa-
"lous brown tail and gypsey moths.
Societies are all Joining hands with

TO exterm1nate the pests which threat
en- destruction of the shade and fruit
trees. The forestry committee of the

an illustrated folder describing the
operations Of these insect depredators
and showing pictures of large trees de-
tollated by them in three days. Trees
bereft of their foliage three wears in
succession usually die. The slogan ad.
dressed to all who value the beauty
and prosperity Of the state is, "help

Enerxthine Through Christ.

The power to set the heart right to
renew the springs Of action, comes
from Christ. The sense Of the infinite
worth Of the single soul, and the re-
coverableness of a man at his worst,
are the gifts Of Christ. The freedom
from guilt, the forgiveness Of SINS
come from Christ's cross; the hope of
Immortality springs from Christs
grave. Personal conversion means for
life a personal religion, personal
trust in God, a personal debt to Christ,
a personal dedication to his cause
These, brought about, how you will,
are supreme things to aim at.-Henry

1pTune with the Divine.

Did you ever see orchestras getung
ready to play2 They take a tuning
fork that is at the concert-p1tch' anu
strike 1t, and get the note exactly ana
chord the instruments, one after an
other taking the pitch, and all or them
at last coming into harmony. 1t makes
no difference If they played only TWO
hours ago, they are obliged, at every
performance, to repeat the same oper-
alton; and frequently 1t has to be re-
peated two or three times, if the per-
formance Is long.
Now, no man can chord his heart
so that it will go without tuning from
one day to another Every day we
must take the Word Of God as the
concert-pitch, and tune our hearts up
to that; and we must do 1t not only
every day, but many times day. we
must do 1t so often that we shall have
something more than a vague concep-
tion of Christ.-Rev. II. W. Beecher.

SENSATION is CAUSED
Councilmen and Others Are
Prepared to Give Battle
to the District Attorney
Special Dispatch to IN. Cali

GILROY, Aug. PA sensation was
caused to-day by the announcement that
the Mayor. City Council. Clerk and Mar
shall of Gilroy had been cited to appear
before the Grand Jury at San Jose on
Wednesday and show cause why they
should not be prosecuted for continuing
to collect licenses on slot machines in the
city of Gilroy.
Notification was sent by the District
Attorney and Grand Jury several weeks
ago for the council to take action i'm
mediately against the slot machines, but
the matter was postponed until after the
recent bond election. Cobb & Rea have
been retained by the council and the out
come will be watched with interest, as
several intricate legal points will be dis
cussed.
The Councilmen are of the opinion that
the District Attorney has no jurisdiction
over the license system Of the city OF
Giiroy. This is about the only town IN
the county that has not taken action
against the slot machines. A handsome
revenue is collected annually from this
source.
