WHEN THE LATTER APPEARED
ON THE SCENE OLD MAN
GARNET GAVE IN.

When Robin Sperry went down
to Luckden to preach he had only
one old friend there. Robin made
a great impression on his hearers
and in the "revivals" that followed
his arrival a great many singular
| things were reported to him -
among other that he had driven the
devil out of old Jas. Barrow, the
notorious drunkard of the place
and that people had seen him -
the devil-run down the hill and
jump into the lake.
Walking home in the evening
after one of the brightest meetings
of the course, arm in arm with his
college friend, Sllas Weld, Robin
said: 81 think such things hurt
religion, and also hurt the preach.

"You are not nurt by 1t, any
how" said Silas. "Margorie does
not believe in this nonsense, but
she calls you the best preacher
she ever heard"
"She's very kind, I'm sure" said
the young minister" but who is
Margorie?"
She's the girl I'm engaged to,
Robin" said Silas. 1--WE are very
fond of each otner, but her father
and | don't hitch. l am going to
call there this evening; will you
go with me?"
''It's late for a call-9:30," said
Robin. Take me if you think best,
or leave me if you think better,
when we get to the door. We have
| been friends too long not to be
quite frank with each other"
Il think it's likely she's in the
sitting ROOM" said Silas, opening
a gate which led through the orch
ard and making his way to a low
door shaded by porch, at which
| he knocked in rather a peculiar
manner, and in an instant the door
flew open and there stodd Margorie
herself, pretty picture, with the
lamp light glinting on her golden
| hair.
| "Margorie," said the young man,
Il have brought Robin Sperry to
see you. Miss Garnet Mr.. Sperry."
said Margorle: Every glad
Walk in please. Silas I am glad
to see you you know, but pa will
not be late tonight; he said so. Pa
is little peculiar, Mr.. Sperry. He
was a sea captain once, and think
that makes him rather cratic, and
he isn't very friendly yet to Silas.
| They sat together around the
fifire-the first of the season-and
talked very pleasantly. Margorie
was hospitable, and cider and
doughnuts, which neither of the
young men was fastidious enough
to despise, were brought from the
store room. In the midst of this
a slow dumping on the broad path
became audible. Margorie clasped
her plump hands and Silas turned
red.
| 1T is pa" whispered Margorie
ooh, told you he would be in
early, Silas. HiGe yourself. Run
into the store closet-run. Poor

C0rNeSie Hero Medals.

CUT71eSLe Hero yNeOULS.
SINCE Andrew Carnegie established fund from
which to reward those who have done conspicuous
deeds of bravery hundreds of medals have been is
sued So far not one of these badges of honor has
been sent to the undeservng. We do not believe
that the existence of this fund will have tendency
to increase deeds of heroism. The occasion makes
the hero. The motive that prompts one to do the
heroic, is present in all men; the rich and the poor
the saint and the sinner alike possess it. We can
not escape from doing deeds of bravery when the
casion calls for decisive action. Some quicker
than others to respond to the call of hep neverthe-
less, we all respond.
short time ago read item in the press
that told how ragged tramp jumped into canal
and rescued little girl who accdently stumbled in
to the stream The tramp brought the child to shore
and handed her to those who witnessed the ac-
cident. When the child recovered, the crowd asked
for the man who rescued her. He had disappeared,
however, without waiting for the applause Of the
crowd or the thanks of the child's parents. One
never thinks of reward or of medals on such occa-
sions Still, one should not refuse one of these
badges of honor, for they indicate that has been
tried and has acquitted himself honorably No will
think the less of person for wearing of these
medals and surely one, matter how vulgar a

H0UiN6 o. PURPOSE.


MosT people have more or less respect and ad-
miration for the man who is manly enough to de-
mand his rights but is safe to say that few people
have any regard for the who has gotten into the
chronic habit of complaining against everything.
Such persons nuisance, and generally end by
hating themselves worse than anything else. While
their pessmistic ideas are fraught with much wisdom
at times their forebodings anything but cheerful
or progressive.
To be protester Of some value to the cause one
may oppose, involves great deal of responsibility.
There many whose character and temperament
make them ideal champions of whatever cause they
may enlist their sympathies. But there are many
who do not have any method in their kicking, and
who have acquired the petty habit of railing against
almost everything. Of course such men, matter
wherner they honest, seldom impress one favor
ably This is principally due to their narrowness of
mind, their want of purpose and their lack of con-
sistency and of coherency.
The man who attempts to amount to anything
must have purpose. This is the main fault with
the chronic kicker. He is devoid of purpose. Being
without this qualification, his protestations
purposeless is the rolling back and forth of the
pebbles on the seashore by the waves.

The First Apostle of Zion has announced that
he will arise "Elijah the Restorer,' when he de-
parts from this existence. He recently made this
statement and it is accepted in good faith by hun
dreds of his recreant followers. We have always had
a high opinion of Mr.. Dowie mountebank, and
expressed the belief that he would play the
game to the end His latest sensation does not ind-
cate that his mental faculties are on the decline.

something equally sensational There are large

OHHEI7Ig EXPERIMENTATION.
IT is strange what number of prominent men
who have during recent years. joined the ranks of
socialism. Some of these represent the highest
type of culture and possess independent fortunes.
These must have been prompted by strong mo-
tives to desert the conservative principles of their
fathers. Surely no one will accuse these men of
making leap in the dark, or that they disap-
pointed in not getting Office among the two domi-
nant parties It not be this, for many years
must eapse before socialism, even at its present
growth, can hope to control even minor positions.
If this cult is a menace and its doctrines un-
feasible it is good thing for all concerned that in
tellectual men investigating it's tenets. There
has been much said for and against socialism; but,
like kissing the famous Barney Stone altogether too
much is left to the imagination.

to bring England and this country to closer under
