New Field of Usefulness Opened Be-
fore an Invalid Girl.
1t was not new discoyery-indeed,
1t was q very old one. Only like so
many other valuable truths, it really
meant nothing to Miriam Harris until
it touched her own life.
The beginning was the sprained an
kle, that put an end to the busy winter
she had planned, and kept her house
bound for eight weeks. Miriam's first
thought was of her girls club down at
| the settlement and her Sunday class
at the mission. When, sooner than
she had expected, substitutes were Sc
cured, and things went on apparently
as we'll as if she were in charge, it
was naturally blow to her vanity I;
but Miriam was honest, and acknoWl-
edging that it was her vanity that was
hurt, she realized that she needed the
work more than the work needed her.
1t was then, that very morning, that
Norah came in to put the room in or
der, her pretty eyes Redeemed by tears.
what is the matter, Norah?" Miri-
am asked. HAS anything happenedY
Norah shook her head and smiled
bravely.
"Sure it's only the foolishness Of
me-" she said, apologetically, "but
sometimes l do be missing the ould
folks that bad"
TELL me about them," Miriam said
So, bit by bit, the story came out
how Norah and one brother, miles
apart in the big new country, were
planning and saving to bring across the
mother and the children, and how it
would take three years to earn the
money for them all, and "it was bit
lOnely-like, times"
After Norah had gone, Miriam sat
thinking things she never had thought
before-hoW it would seem to be alone
In strange country, with only three or
four of your country folk to speak to
at all, and days when you never saw
one.
III give Norah an evening for her
friends every week." Miriam planned
eagerly. 'She shall invite whom she
pleases and have fudge or something"
Miriam, it will be seen, was still a
girl, land I'll send her out for walk
sometimes afternoons, and down to look
in the stores, and she shall have books
If she cares for them. How stupid I've
been!"
Really, that was all. Just a few
pleasures for the little Irish maid and
her friends, with, as always happens,
the new revelations and new Opportu-
mites that they brought.
Miriam declares now that she is go
ing to study seriously the domestic
problem. Doubtless she will find the
problem discoIragingly complicated and
difficult. But certainly she will be al
ways finer woman, more sympathetic,
clearer yisioned, because one winter
she tried to put herself in the place of
one little Irish housemaid.-YOuth's

END OF THE OTHER SIDE.

Two Mistakes, One of Them Laugh
able, Made by Private Secretary.
An official of one Of the departments
at Washington says that whenever he
encounters an unknown person he is
reminded Of an amusing experience of
the private secretary Of a late Secre-
tary Of War.
1t appears that this private secre-
tary before he got well acquainted paid
little attention to persons he did not
know to be of Importance. One day
there entered the ante room a member
Of the cabinet whom the private secre-
tary had never seen before Being ig-
nored by the secretary for a consider
able time, the distinguished visitor fin
ally entered the room of the head of
the department unannounced. Undoubt-
edly- he made complaint in the matter,
for the next day the private secretary
received a reprimand from his chief.
The very next day one of the first
persons to enter the private secretary
room was a distinguished-loo old
man with a long, patriarchal beard.
Bearing in mind his experience of the
day before, the private secretary re-
ceived his visitor with every mark of
consideration. With a polite bow he
offered a chair to the old gentleman,
who accepted it not without an ex-
preston of some wonderment, a fact
the private secretary himself observed.
Tho 10 f+oTs coatnd hipoco1f oY1pacito biC
distinguished caller and with his most
engaging smile, asked:
"And now, sir, what can 1 do for

"In the year 1899 the side Of my

Seven Times Three.
[ leaned out of window, [ smelled the
white clover;
Dark, dark was the garden, | saw not
the gate;
Nov, if there be footsteps, he comes, my
one lover
Hush, nightingale, hush! Oh, sweet
nightingale, wait
Till l listen and hear
If a step draweth near,
For my love he is late!
''The skies in the darkness stoop nearer
and nearer,
A cluster of stars hangs like fruit in
the tree,
The fall of the water comes sweeter,
comes clearer
To what art thou listening, and what
dost thou see?
Let the staT-clusters glow,
Let the sweet waters flow,
And cross quickly to me.
You night-moths that hover where honey
From sycamore blossoms, or settle or
Sleep
You glow-worms shine out and the path
way discover
To him that comes darkling along the
rough steep.
All my sailor, make haste,
For the time runs to waste,
And my love lieth deep
TOO deep for swift telling, and yet, my
one lover,
I've conned thee an answer; it waits
thee tonight
By the sycamore passed he, and through
the white clover;
Then all the sweet speech 1 had fash.
Toned took flight;
But III love him more, more
Than e'er wife loved before,
Be the days dark or bright.

VIII Not Offset the Ill Effects of

A farmer says:

that for ten years or more suffered
from dyspepsia and stomach trouble !;
they were caused by the use Of coffee

coffee entirely and almost give up eat
Ing. There were times when I could
eat only boiled milk and bread, and
when went to tho field to work had
to take some bread and butter along
to givO me strength.
II doctored with doctors and took al
most everything could get for my
stomach in the way Of medicine, but II
got any better it only lasted a little
while until was almost q walking

"Ons day I read an ad. for Postum
and told my wife would try it, and
as to the following facts l will make
affidavit before any Judge:
II quit coffee entirely and used

my health entirely and can eat any
thing that is cooked to eat. have in
creased in weight until now / weigh
more than ever did; have not taken
any medicine for my stomach since l
began using Postum. Why, 1 believe
Postum will almost digest an iron
wedge.
MY family would stick to coffee at
first, but they saw the effects it had
on me, and when they were feeling
bad they began to use Postum, one at
time. until now we all use Postum"
