occasion was the union meeting in that
town of districts q and %. When
about half way to Lakewood the car
became stalled and it was necessary to
return to Skowhegan. Those who went
up earlier in the afternoon report a
fine time although the trip from
Bingham to Madison was somewhat
tedious owing to the SHOW on the track.

THE FRIEND OF BUNS"
And How He Illustrated the Power of
"The Glorious Principle of Love-"

good man died in New York the
other day and left u gap behind him
very difficult to fill. His name was
Samuel Hopkins Hadley, and for
twenty years he had given his life to
the work of the Jerry McAulcy Mis-
sion. helping poor outcasts whom no.
body else seemed to care about help
ing. The mission was on his mind to
the last. MY poor 'buins,'" he said
just before he died; "my poor buns
who will look after them"
Possibly the reason that Mr.. Hadley
understood 50 well how to help those
who had managed to get tramped un-
der was that once he had been pretty
far under himself. AS a boy he had
promised his father that he would
never drink, but unfortunately early
associates led to the breaking Of that
promise. In his autobiOgraphical
book, "Down in Water Street" he tells
how he became professional gambler,
and for fifteen years rarely went to
bed sober. Gradually slipping more
and more irrevocably into the clutches
of drink. he was strengthened to fight
off recurring temptation to suicide
only by the steady influence of his
wife. One night. in April 1882. sitting
in a saloon in Harlem, - homeless
friendess. dying drunkard." he was
suddenly seized with mighty impulse
to pull himself together. He walked
to the bar, pounded it till the glasses
ratified. and swore that he would never
never drink again if he died in the
street. Hadcy kept that promise.
though he had to spend the first night
in the lock-up to do Sc. A few days
later he was 1T the Water Street Mis-
sion, asking Jerry McAuley to pray for
him. "Ali the prayers i'll the world
wont save you" answered Jerry, "ur-
less you pray for yourself
MIR. Hadley learned to pray for him
self, and four years later he succeeded
McAuley as superintendent Of the
mission. During the twenty years of
his superintendency $1,000 persons
have declared for better way of liv-
ing. Conccding even the fullest pro-
portion of backslidcrs, tho good that he
accomplished was incalculable. Had
ley's principle was to give help with
out cost, and never 10 weary of well
doing. 1t was simply impossible to
year out his kindness, however sorely
it was abused. Ex-convicts came to
him and got shelter, food and clothes.
Not infrequently one of them would
dccamp with whatever portable OBJ
jects he could lay his hands on Sooner
or later, however. the need for help
would drive him back.
"On his return wrote Mr.. Hadley,
che is met with the same welcome, the
same kindness. Again and again he
may show the clovcn foot. but at last
he finds that in the old McAulcy Mis-
sion there is a stock of love that can
not be exhausted. 1t is no wonder
that. as a usual thing, the tough heart
of the criminal is finally broken by
the glorious principle of love" No
wonder, indeed. Few missions of 9TH
er church organizations of any sort
have exhibited SO single minded and
unwearying desire TO do good as that.

American Fathers Proud Of Their
Babies.

american fathers are the most af-
fectlonate in the world" said a travel
ling Englishman the other day. Il
never heard any young married men
talk with such affectionate pride about
their babies. The usual Englishman is
either boisterious or simply satisfied.
This morning l saw one of the pleas
ATTEST sights imaginable. I was riding
in a street car. Opposite to me sat a
young couple with baby. The hus
band was holding the baby. He was
bronzed and sturdy fellow and he held
the pink and white mite very tenderly.
He was not in the least embarrassed
He had one muscular finger playing
about the child's mouth, and whenever
the pink gums snapped at it, he looked
as proud as a prince and beamed all
over his honest face. Now. you'd
never see sight like that in my coun-
try. I shouldn't mind standing god
father every day to children Of such
fathers. The Kansas City Star.
