Miss Booth told how she had gone
among the poor to lead their life.
Miss Booth told "a story with which
she had nothing to do, having only
heard it when it was too late to pre-
vent the tragedy. She said:
There is nothing accomplished in
this world without sacrifice. l need
only remind you of Francis of Assist,
Florence Nightingale, and DR.. Living
stonesto prove this. But this little fell
low, whose name l do not mention be-
cause it would make no difference, was
greater than them all.
He was "a street arab. He met his
pal. jim, under street lamp one night.

on Mount Tom, in Massachusetts,

two cars on a cable, AS one car goes
up the other comes down. The grade is
an extraordinary steep one, fact that
frequently calls forth anxious inquiries
relative to the safety of the system
from nervous tourists.
one afternoon a lady from Boston
! seated herself in the rear of the car
that was about to make its ascent of
the mountain, and it was at once OBJ
served by several that she was eX-
tremely anxious as to the outcome OF
her temerity.

she of the conductor.
