With exclamation of vexation, his employer
tossed him some silver. 1 don't want you" he
said.
The turned to go, paused and said falter-
ingly: Won't you try me, sir? I've got to live,
you know
Not here was the curt reply. Il am not en-
ploying jailbirds" And so the man moved on.
As day by day went by without any prospect
of better fortunes his scared heart grew like granite
He came to hate everything and everybody; to
realize in the depths of his soul that he not only
outcast, but Ishmaelite, his hand against
every man. He began to wonder how it
would be before he would go back. At least there
he could have shelter and food He consoled him
self with the thought that if society refused him his
living, the State would not.
There were awful hours when despairing of honest
employment, he sorely tempted to steal; that
would send him back and finish the wrecking of his
life But someway he could not get that Salvation
Army girls song and the train of recolections had
aroused, out of his thoughts He sometimes found
himself humming, In temptation He's my strong
and mighty tower
He often thought of the other man; the one who
so glibly swore him into prison; who had worked
next his desk in the bank; who knew where the
money went. There had been hours in his cell when
he had said coldly to himself when get out"
The sinister thought began now to haunt him
again. If he to go back, he said it might
well be for murder as for anything else: better
perhaps for his misery would be the sooner
over.
So he began now to look in crowds for face He
had watched the bank, and discovered that the
other man was no longer there. He said to himself
that when he found the lace he would follow 1t.
1t should not hide from him. He laughed grimly
at the idea There were walls thick enough,
no doors strong enough, to keep him from his enemy
when once he had found him.
1t was the middle of March when he came out.
1t was early in April and still he walking
the streets, footsore and weary looking for work
and for-the face. He down to his last dollar
Nothing else between him and the prison doors, and
perhaps worse.
1t was the end of Holy Week. and the florists
windows glory. Roses, Annunciation lilies
volets, jonquils-a of beauty and perfume
tempted the eyes of all the passers-by. Even the
mantle Ishmaelte, the jailbird- paused and
looked in at the banks of bloom in the window of
Bowery shop. His somber eyes roved over the
Haunting tulips, the stately roses and rested on
cluster of tiny white flowers modestly hiding under
their leaves. Yes there they were--his
mothers fowers-the flowers his young wife had
loved
'O-o-oh" sighed childish voice by him.
The jailbrd looked down. little slip of girl
stood there looking in the window at the elaborate
floral display. She tidy little girl, although
her clothing was worn and thin. She had solemn
eyes and quantity demure air. One poor scrawny
little finger pointing at the flowers. That's
mine" she murmuring, an that's mine the
finger shifted, AN that-oh! an that!' She drew
long breath as her cup of joy overlooking and

- rounding group. of Salvation Army
IL - this man with the livd face and ashamed
eyes. Everyone was craning his neck to
cape at the girl in the blue poke-bonnet, who had
just begun to sing in wonderful contralto voice:
1--we found friend in Jesus;
He's everything to me,
He's the fairest Of ten thousand to my soul.
The Lly-of- the-Valey
In Him alone see
All l need to cleanse and make me fully whole.
The rich warm voice rang out like buge-call.
People continually pressed up to join the throng.
Drivers of heavy wagons stopped their horses to
listen. Men and women gazed from trolleys wh1zzng
by. The torches about the Salvationsts suddenly
tiared up, showing the girls beautiful face lighted
by look of exaltat1on, as lifting 1t toward heaven
she sang
He ali my gries has taken,
In temptation He's my strong and mighty tower.
Suddenly she bent toward the eager, listening
crowd: Brothers, sisters she said with simple
earnestness, sing the next lines with me-"
He's the Liy-of-the-Valey,
The Bright and Morning Star,
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
responded the crowd
The martial swing of the. music rolled up like
battle-cry Many beat the measured rhythm upon
the stones of the street with their feet The hymn
plainly favorite.
The man with the haggard b1anched face and the
eyes that avoided other eyes felt something roll
down his cheek. He put up his hand, and to his
great surprise brushed away tear. He Immediately
walked away, wondering at himself. He had not
wept in years. He went on down the street, keeping
always in the shadow as much as possible. Behind
him foated the stirring refrain:
He's the Lly-of-the-Valley.
Fainter-fainter it rang, Now it died away alto
gether But still he heard it in dream:
The Liy-of-the-Valley,
The Bright and Morning Star.
He walked aimlessly on coming at last to public
square where benches placed Here he sat down.
The little park filled with loungers this mild
spring night-lovers and sweethearts gazing in
anothers eyes, broodng to themselves, women
staring idly about. Moreover, the jetsam and fot-
of the big city cast upon the benches of
this crowded resort. The man, with one compre-
hensve glance, recognized the thieves, the tramps,
the buns.
He heard splashing of water nearby. Turning,
he fountain playing back of his seat. The
electric lights shone full upon it, transforming its
crystal into silver. 1t was fairy-like spectacle.

from the place that forced such bitter
sweet memories upon him. But as he
walked through dingy streets, seeking his
mean lodging, the voice of the Salvation
Army girl was ever ringing in his ear.
He all my griefs has taken;
He's the Valley.
Next day he went up and down the
sordid streets, looking for work There
was none for him. BY some mysterious
power, everyone to whom he applied was
aware that he had just come from prison.
At one place when asked his name he had
almost said No. 6254" 1t was the one
he had gone by for so many years. He
had often heard his fellow-convicts talk
of the bounding of the police" Hereal-
lied that he was now experiencing that
ordeal He grew more and more bitter as
he met each fresh rebuff. Its just as
they told me, >" he said savage1y to him
self: F." No placein the world for a jailbird "
He thought one day he had surely
succeeded in getting a place. A man
who owned a warehouse gave him a job
as a porter. For three hours he held it,
working with a feverish intensity.
This was better than tramping the
streets, thinking and remembering.
Then he was summoned to the office,
where his employer awaited him with
stern face. Have you just come from
Sing Sing?' he abruptly asked.
The man hesitated a moment, then
looking the other squarely in the face
said: Eyes, sir"

marked the aquatic plants drifting about the basin
The broad leaves of the lotus flowers took him back
suddenly to little pond he once knew. He saw
it, nestled in among 1ow-1ying hills-an unruffled,
silver sheet. He saw himself sturdy, sun Drowned
youngster, padding about in a leaky old punt,
gathering pond-ihes.
The man turned from the fountain with a smother
ed groan His eyes rested on ornate bed of
flowers close by. The center filled with purple
and gold panses, their tiny faces smiling up at him
in the glare of the lights the border of miniature
white bells swinging among glossy green leaves.
He knew the flowers He remembered bed of
them, out by the west door at the old home, close
by the steps which at twilight he used to sit and
eat his bowl of bread and milk. Again he saw the
garden, the of currant-b bushes the orchard
the rail fence then the meadow the woods the hills
with the red sun sinking just below them. The
picture flashed for instant with Photographic
fidelity across his memory. He bent and took his
head in his hands.
Lilies of-the-valley-yes they had been his
pottering about among them, eagerly watching
for the first white bells under the waxen leaves. He
recalled that on spring Sundays she always pinned
a little spray his jacket when he went to church
with her. She, too, always had cluster of them
fastened in the bosom of her sober, old-fashioned
gray silk frock
Then there was another. She seemed to be
coming to him now, from out the shadows, along
the broad track of light, across the park, all in
white, with bunch of lilies in her hands. The faint
hne perfume 1oated to him. His heart beat rapidly
She was before him now, smiling tinlidly at him,
and holding flower toward him
He started up with an oath. Setting his rough
hat farther over his moody eyes, he fastened away

"Hard" Water Harmful.

A physician who has practiced for
thirty years in a California valley
says the hillside upon which he lives
is of granite formation, and the wat
er the people drink is consequently
"soft." The other side of the hill Is
composed OF limestone, and the water
from the springs and we'll is hard"
The doctor has been struck with the
fact that his practice is enormously
greater in the limestone district. He
finds that the hard water drinkers die
of Bright's disease and are crippled
with chronic rheumatism, while the
soft water imbibers generally live
longer and are free from these dis
eases.-Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette

Hope, the metropolis of Steele
county, was laid out as a village
in February 1882, and is the old
est town in the county. From the
beginning it has been up-to-date
and progressive and it's citizens
have always been liberal and
public spirited. The town has
grown from a frontier hamlet to
a thriving little city built up with
substantial business blocks and
beautiful dwellings equal to east
ern cities of many times its age,
Besides it's many business estab-
lishments representing almost all
lines of business, Hope has one
of the best Touring mills in the
state, a fine state high school,
splendid church structures, Com
mercial Club, Women's Club and
secret societies representing all
of the leading orders.
The country surrounding Hope
is wonderously productive and
it's farmers are prosperous, con-
tented and happy. All small
grains are grown in abundance
and in later years corn has been
protitabily cultivated. No place
is more suited to the home seeker
with small means than is this
section of the state where crop

Successive Steps From Kitchen Tao'e

Mrs. Compton looked at her patient
but bewildered husband with an ex'
preston of good-natured superiority.
Dear me, George" she said, cheerful
~, Il don't see the use of my trying
to explain to you, but I'm perfectly
willing to do it, of course.
Il did intend, as you say, to buy a
kitchen table, and l came home with
a hall mirror. But 1t was an abso-
lutely natural change.
"First I looked at kitchen tables.
Then the clerk called my attention to
the kitchen cabinets, with drawers
and everything. Then I said how much
they looked like bureaus, except nat
they had no glass. Then he showed
me one with a glass, and then he said
he had such a pretty bureau, II
cared to look at it.

pretty. but the glass was rather small.
So then-he showed me a dressing case
with a nice glass mirror, and l said
what nice glass it was. And then ne
said, If you want to see a fine piece

Chinese Eyes Are Straight.

Chinese eyes are straight in the
skull, according to E. Lemaire in La
Nature. They appear oblique, but
they are not really so. Won Siebold,
Abeldsdorn and Schlegel, the great
authorities, all agree that the eyes of
the Chinese are straight. The reason
the eye appears oblique is that the
upper eyelid and the general direc.
itions Of the eyebrow are oblique; the
upper eyelid at the side of the nose
ifroms a special fold which covers en-.
ltirely the angle where the lachrymal
gland is found. In addition the lids
are generally very thin and the eye
less open.

Changes in Color Of Glass.

In most old glass roofs you may
perceive different tints, caused by the
action of the sun and atmosphere.
Changes in the color of glass are
caused by %subjecting it to the action
Of what are known as ultraviolet rays
of light. Something of the same sort
may be observed on high mountains,
where old glass from bottles original

HAD FIRST DISCIPLINED ARMY.
Egyptian kinu Credited With Much
Military Foresight.

Military Foresight.
Disciplined armies are to be traced
In the records of all the great nations
OF antiquity through Rome, Greece,
Persia, Assyria and Egypt. The
Egyptian Pharaoh, Rameses II, about
14O0 B. c., is credited with the pos
session of the first disciplined army.
Early in life his military experiences
with the Arabians taught him the
necessity of having troops drilled in
the art of war.
He established a warrior class,
which became the nucleus of an army
numbering over 100000 men, includ-
Ing infantry, cavalry and war chart
OTIS.
With this army he is said to have
made great conquests in Asia from
the Gauges to the Caspian, and it
seems certain that at any rate it was
he who gave Egypt it's earliest mill
tary organization and established the
first regularly disciplined army known
to history.-Chicago American.
