The true way to make Sunshine

Mr.. Heald, State president of Maine,
whose grand figure and personality.
like that of our president-general, our
beloved Mrs. Alden. is so. noble, SO
simple. as all true greatness is. and so
imposing that lesser mOrtals can only
gaze in wonder and accept with rever-
ence not unmiXed with awe. the pow
er compelling to action. purity and
life remarkable for experiences. Mrs.
Alden tells us in ''Bushy,'' a childish
and youthful adventure almost incred-
ible, yet cOrrObOrated by eye-witnesses
and testimonials. and Mrs. Heald, be-
1ieving in the personal touch. travels

nature cries How can they bear it,"
and again those like Mrs. Andrews, of
Conn, and youthful leaders so inspir-

that winsOmeness and power gave the
nature of love feast to our eighth
annual.
Extremes meet in Maine as in Flo

the hand-clasping, the personal touch

the fore all over the globe as a mental,
moral and physical force. A sunshine

sunshine of ages past, the fire which
kindles Il never dying flame.
The eighth annual convention of the
Interna tiOnal Sunshine Society was

There WAS a large attendance Dele

Colorado, Minnesota and Florida to
make reports and to consult regarding
future work. The assembly room was
filed to its utmost capacity and the
were listened to with keen

Gated that the growth of the society

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK.

This verse is the keynote of sun
shine work, and with many thousands
chanting it. a wave of loving kindness
shall pass round the world.
The growth of sunshine work has
been phenomenal starting from Il
single thought it has grown until its
members now number many thOus-
andS.
From the present society, branches
have sprung up. until now they are to
be found all over the world, from
England to Alaska. in Australia, South
Africa and Central America. Sunshine
work is nO new work: it is simply
Christian living; it is so simple that
even the children follow it gladly. One
well as the poor. welcome it. and often
they need it worst. Weighed down
by cares of property, often shut in
by sickness or domestic sorrow. their
lives are darker than those of the poor
Sunshine work can be like the early
down. or strong as the monday sun.
One can carry brightness along ones
daily path. or go into the hospital and
dark and gloomy places, and by the
power of sunshine conquer the shadow
of sorrow and disease
Because you can give little is really
the greatest reason why you should
join our ranks. a dime alone cannot
do much. but fifty dimes can do won
derS. There are many who can give
thoughts and prayers: these are the
best gifts of all. if they are earnest and
self sacrificing. The platform of sun
shine work is: Work for those around
You. Begin at home, and if each Sun
sinner the world over smiles on and
serves his neighbOr. it will be we'll
nigh Il state of universal sunshine.
Though Sunshine work is interna-
tlOnal. it is strictly local Sunshine
work is not necessarily active or ag-
gresSive. 1t is not a fight for pre-em-
inence, but simply, like the sunshine.

brances. and juvenile branch in st
Louis sustains several cribs in inStitu-

is the establishment of a blind babies

Mrs. Orin Ward, chairman of the
scrap book committee. said that clip

space to Sunshine news. Mr.. Ward
assemblies them at the rate of from
fOty to fifty Il day in books provided
for the purpose, of which there are
now over fifty on file. containing il
complete history of the society.
Mrs. Edith A. NJ. Casey, assistant
secretary. stated that there are at least
10000 members: that it is impossible
to estimate the number accurately. be
cause many branches are i'm churches.
schools and institutions which are en-
rolled ut headquarters only under the
name of the branch. There are Organ-
izatiOns i'm all of the states of the
Union and in many of the foreign
countries. including Great Britain,
Sweden. France. India. Japan. South
America. South Africa and Hawaii.
The treasurer. Mrs. Edwin Knowles,
reported that the total revenue for
twelve months had been SD ,364. ga :
disbursements. SD O4419: cost OF ad-
ministratiOn was only IA per cent
The reason this is kept so low is be-
cause there are no paid officers i'm the
society and much of the clerical force
is voluntary. Every state in the Union
has contributed money and the follow
ing countries: Asia Minor, Bermuda,

many and Hawaii. $1.O9974 has been
expended in stamps. in addition to the
generous donation of single twO-cents
stamps. $2.126.3O was paid out in
emergency calls for help and $59S.65
for ice and milk.

PLAIN SNEAK TRlEYERY,

In his revelations as 20 Buck.
et-Shop Sharks" is Evergbody's
Magazine for June, Merrill A.
league saw:
Bucket shopping is betting
upon fluctuations ia market
prices. Where the broker sells
or buys for his Cheats accounts,
the bucket shop keeper buys or
selle uothing-he lays a wager
against the mOUey his dupes
have entrusted INN. Where the
broker borrows from his banker
to carry trades ordered by his
customer, the keeper of a buck.
ct shop steals the whole sum his
dupes have placed in his hands.
Where the broker handles his
clients money disinteristedly,
the keeper of bucket shop has
a stake in every order exactly
equal to his victims deposit.
Bucket shopping Is no worse
than making a cook at race
track, or any other form of
gambling. said George G. Turn
er in "a newspapers interview,
after his swiudling corporation,
Haight & t'reese Company, had
been placed in the hands of re.
ceivers in Boston, New York
and Philadelphia. The man
who makes 4 book at a race
course allows you the privilege
of seeing a run for your money

A Big Corn Crop.

The old saying is dry May
for corn crop, and as we look
back we Cdunot call to memory
any season IN which it has tail
ed. The May of 1875 was so
dry the dust raised in clouds as
the teams pulled the cultiv.
ators through the fields. But
June 9Th the rain began to fall
and it rained every day into
July and on the 4th and 9Th Of
that month Salt River was the
highest ever known, and the
corn crop was heavy. All the
season of 1879 was dry, so there
was little grass or hay, but il
rained enough to produce d
large corn crop. We are not
positive about May 1895, but
we think that wds dry and a
frost came and cut down much
of the young corn, yet the crop
was a record breaker. May
1902 was dry, yet the crop
was excellent. Last May was
so dry that the grass crop was
cut short, yet corn did well.
This sign may rot hold good
this year, but the probabilities
are favorable to a great corn
crop. -Shelbina Democrat.

Disgusting.

The song; Everybody works
but father" ought to be chang
ed to Everybody is liar but
Teddy"
We have been disgusted at
politicians for several years,
because they weave story and
then give it to a reporter. If it
is accepted with grace, the pol
tician smiles and rubs his hands
and under his breath, says:
bully boy am l." but if it
proves a mistit like Teddy's
acts, then they repuaiate the
story and say: l didn't do it,
or, the reporter misunderstood
me.
Mr.. Roosevelt occupies too ex.
allied a position to stoop to such
contemplate methods. Any.
way, by the time Bailey-Tillman
and Co. get through with him,
he will at least learn what hon.
or is with gentlemen.
