Did you read the story Of Ensign
Oman in the State Journal a few days
ago? Ensign Oman. you know, is the
young German who every evening
holds a meeting on the streets of To-
peka under the Salvation Army a
ner. in which he tries to ous an in
terest in a better life in the careless
crowds that are coming ana going.
And having held his street meeting, he
and his followers march to the little
Salvation Army hall down on Fifth
street and there he makes a short adj
dress, offers a prayer, and his helpers
sing a few songs in an effort to lead
some poor outcast away from a life of
sin.
The story Of Oman is an interesting
one. A descendant Of German nobil-
ity and the son Of a wealthy land
owner, he had every advantage that
wealth could give him in his youth.
Private tutors were his and the best of
Quotations, but among other things
wealth gave him a taste for strong
drink. It made him an outcast in
America, and drove him far down the
scale of degradation. Possibly an all
wise Providence allowed him that ex-
iperience in order that he might know
how to sympathize with and help other
outcasts. At any rate, Ernest Oman
was at length reclaimed to a life Of So
briefly and righteousness, and for sever
years he has been trying to help others
This is the little man who three
hundred and ~sixty-fve days in the
year, including three times on Sum
day, holds services on the street or
down in the Salvation Army hall to
point the outcast and the wanderer to
the better way. But that is not all that
Ensign Oman does, by any means.
Some mother in a distant city hears
that her boy has gone wrong in To-
peka. She writes Omar to hunt him
up and help him-and Oman does it.
A poor family is suffering in some hut,
but is too proud to ask for aid. Oman
or his helpers hunt them up and help
them. Some unfortunate wants work
but for some reason cannot get work
that he can do. Oman helps him find
a job.
Many Is the noble deed that is done
by these Salvation Army workers in
helping the poor and unfortunate that
| other people know nothing about. Il
is their work. 1t is work that the
churches as a ru1e know nothing about
but it is work that is important to the
community.
Just now Ensign Oman is trying to
secure inc for the erection of a
building in which the Salvation Army
may better conduct its work. At pres
ent it is paying out a large portion OF
its meagre support for rent for a bare
hall. With a building of its own, il
will be able to have a reading room
and bath rooms to attract a class thai

The Genius in New York.

What ability or skill the Great Man
Of the provinces brought with him to
the metropolis may be only the founda-
ton for real work. There will surely
be extensive revising OF ideals and
methods. a story is told of a poet
who arrived in town with a completed
epic. This found no acceptance; SO
after cursing the stupidity Of the pub
lie and the publishers, he took to writ
inc n stun" Soon the matter
of fact attitude of the workers around
nim. with the practical view OF tne
market he acquired. led him to doubt
the literary value Of the work he had
done in the sentimental atmosphere Of
his native place. Presently a commits
sion to write a column OF humor a
week came to him. and he cut his
epic into short lengths. tackled a squib
on each fragment, and eventually uc-
ceeded in printing It all as humor at a
forfc one brought by Paradise Lost
Another newcomer brought unstable
pIavs and high notions Of the austerity
Of the artistic vocation. Three months
after his arrival he was delighted to
get q commission to write the hand

This commission brought not only a
fair payment for the manuscript on de

Fair Olga was a manicure

She was exceedingly demurs
And also very pretty.

But Olga was a Nihilist,

She often shook her tiny fist
In wild evaporation.
How can I punish those who've sought

She asked, hen 10! a grand duke

And promptly sprinkled powder white
Upon the ducal fingers.

Fair Olga took a little brush
And vigorously rubbed it,

And, 10! the duke knocked straight again

And what of Olga? Quite aloof
