This conversation took place in
France, on one of the workingmen's
gardens, movement for selfhelp
which is growing each year, says a
writer in the Century. A similar
movement was started in Detroit in
1894 under the name of the Pota
Patch farms; later carried out sue
cessfully in New York and other cities
in the vacant lot farms, while today
Philadelphia is beginning her eighth
year of successful effort.
Nine. Hervew, charitable woman
In Sedan, tired of aiding the poor by
gifts of money, attempted to rouse
them to self-help by an offer Of dou-
bling any sum Of money which they
should deposit in the local savings
bank. She rented a small tract OF
land and said to the poor people:
"Now go to work"
They did and as they worked the
taste for it grew; they kept steadily
at it, especially as they knew that the
fruits of their labor would belong to
them that the vegetables they raised
could be taken to their homes or
sold
Such was the humble beginning in
1899 of little movement, but one so
simple and practical that it grew until
last October in Paris, there was held
a congress of wOrkingmen' gardens
attended by 700 delegates. under the
presidency of NJ. Aynard of France.

REALLY A GREAT LADY.
Tribute to Life and Character Of Lady
Burdett- Coutts.

Lady Burdett. Coutts was one OF the
very few women who in restless.
chattering society knew how TO talk
and TO listen, says an English writer.
TO know her was a liberal education.
The daughter Of Sir Francis Burdett
had naturally seen and conversed with
the giants of the refOrm-bill days and
met everybody worth meeting for 90
years. Her memory was SO good her
sympathy SO universal and her man
ncr of expression SO happy that con
versation with Lady Burdett-Coutts
was like reading a delightful chapter
OF memoirs. \ young member OF
parliament once asked her what was
the meaning of the expression which
he had come across in Disracl's
novels that members used to dine
ont in their boots" 1T means" said
the old lady, with her exquisite cour,
tcsy that they used To dine away
from the house and dine with me
without dressing, as | hope you will
do whenever you can Judged by
modern standards erected by German
and American millionaires Lady Bur.
dett-Coutts was not so very rich, but,
then, in proportion to her means she
rave away ten times as much.

An Unexpected Swim.

For a time it seemed to me that the
fellows life must have been lost and
that his body had floated down the
stream with the current, which in
creased steadily in force as it neared
the falls, some two miles below.
Whence he had come | did not

a man would be swimming in the river
at this time of year, and, Just as | was
about to row ashore and report the
affair to those who could institute
a proper search for the body, an idea
flashed into my head and served to
explain the matter in short order.
The ghosts, or at least the men
who impersonated them, had always
disappeared from sight at this point
on the river bank, and, doubtless, thss
had diyed into the water and found
shelter somewhere under the shore,
If this were the case, a man might
easily enough have ycntured out from
his hiding place, and, upon seeing me,
returned and waited until the coast
was clear again.

padding slowly along under the over

n of the pockets, he raised 1t to his
lips and drank long and greedily. This
done, he drew the coat %nervously
about his shaking limbs, and, with a
hunted sort of n look in every direc-

along the shore and finally disap-

the river.

THE STORY.

N'fVER before had David met such
~ a trying situation. His soul was
vexed within him until it almost
seemed as though he would go mad.
Here had come the appeal, or rather
order from Achish, the Philistine king,
who had befriended him In his hour
Of need and had given him Ziklag as a
possession. asking that David and his
men Join him in an expedition against
Israel. And what could he do? He
dare not refuse-He dare not fight
against his W countrymen. But
what could he do? and no lifted his
eyes to the heavens, bright with their
myriad stars, and n groan escaped
from his anguished soul. He was sit.
ting alone in the darkness striving to
find some way out of his dilemma. On
the morrow they were TO go forth, and
he had given his promise to Achish
that he would stand with him. but
he had not dared to tell his men as
yet, Tor he feared that they would not
receive the commission kindly.
He recalled with troubled con.
science how n few months before.
when he had gone out and destroyed
the Geshurites and the Amalekites TO
to south Of Judah, that he hal de.
cciycd A-G.sh, making him believe
that it was against his own country.
men he had fought and that he had
thus forever separated himself from
them, And now Acbish was going to
prove his loyalty to him, All night
long David struggled with the prob,
lem, but with the coming of the
morning light he was as much as aver
in the dark as to the curse TO pur'
sue, and so he did the only thing any
man could do under the circum,
stances, called his men together and
prepared them to so forward with
Achish and his men
But we will leave some of the men
to guard Ziklag during out absence?'
questioned enc of the leaders under
David.
mo-" responded David, 1--WE shall
have need of all our men this day"
And so, in obedience to the com
mand of their leader, Dayld's men
marched forth, And David said with
