There is a kind Of testimony for
Christ which Is mere professionalism
"a form Of cant. Stereotyped phrases
are dead as dead. Mere conventional
ism Is as Ifeless in religion as else
where. The wisdom of divine illumi-
nation is needed to make plain how
and when to speak for Christ.
Mere glibness is not the best witness.
Sometimes a significant silence is more
effective than a sermon. A look, an at
titude, a stern word, a gentle word
each In its own place may be the right
Testimony. No one form will serve for
all occasions.

1t is a matter of common observation
that what the church needs Is not more
men, but more man. Numbers count
for less than character. A handful of
disciples of Jesus, faithful to the ut
termost, can accomplish more than a
legion of nominal church members; a
bit of heart-searching here would be
good for all Of US.
'What kind of church would my church
be,
II all It's members were just like me?'

Bingo was a dog. Any one looking at
him would have said he was common
one. But had you asked his little mas
ter. Joey Travis, about Bingo you would
have been told in the most emphatic
manner that Bingo was the greatest,
most wonderful, and most heroic, dog on
earth. The truth was. Bingo and Joey
were almost Of an age, Joey being ten
years old and Bingo seven. Now. ten
years are but few when measuring the
length of a boys life. but seven years
mark the fast approaching old age Of
dog. So, you will readily see that while
Joey was young at ten years of age his
chum and constant companion, Bingo,
was old at seven. But to Joey Bingo
was ever young.
Together Joey and Bingo went about
the woods in the summer time, hunting.
Now, do not mean that they were hunt
ing beasts and birds, for they were not.
They were hunting jolly good time, and
they always found 1t. Perhaps that was
because their pleasure did not depend on
the wanton taking Of innocent life. Joey
enjoyed living; SO did Bingo. And Joey
knew that life was as sweet to the Wild
things as 1t was to him and Bingo.
Therefore Joey respected the rights of
the woods creatures as he respected the
rights Of his own family at home.
Now, the pleasures that Joey and Bingo
found in their wanderings about the hills
and valleys surrounding their home were
many. For hours they would lie In the
shade OF some fine old tree and watch
the birds fitting about from Dough to
bough. Again they would take dip In
the clear cool water of the fast-running
creek where most wonderful shells and
brilliant pebbles were to be found. And
It was Bingo who taught joey to swim.
Then, after exhausting the novelty of
shade and stream, they would ramble
through the deep meadow where the
cows and pretty calves stood knee-deep
in the sweetest of clover. And at even
ing on returning home Joey would have
most wonderful tales Of adventure to re-
late to his mother and father, while
Bingo would stand near by, watching
with keen interest his young master. and
seconding everything he said by wagging
his tail and blinking his eye.
But one cold winter day Joey fell III
after having been out in the snow coast
ing with Bingo. That night he tossed
with a burning fever, and the next day
Bingo missed his young comrades CHEEKY,
Good morning, old Bingl" And all day
long Bingo stayed near to the door of
his beloved masters room, holding his
nose close to the crack beneath 1t to
scent for any danger. And all day long
at frequent intervals Bingo was thrust
away from the door to allow Joey's par
ents and the doctor to pass in and out.
But Immediately the door was closed
Bingo would again take up his position
at the door, his nose at the crack and
his quick ear strained to catch his mas

beside her husband In the back seat She
wore a black vail closely wrapped about
her head and face, and Bingo saw that
she walked with an uncertain step and
dropping head. Her detected aspect went
straight to the heart of Blngo. Leaplng
through the open window Of the barn he
went quickly TO the back door of the
house, entered and passed through to
Joeys room. The door stood wide and
Bingo entered. But no Joey was there.
He went to the bed where Joey had slept
since he could remember, but no young
master was there. A peculiar scent led
Blngo through the rooms to the parlor,
thence out through the hall door to
long black-covered wagon that stood in
the yard. There the scent was stronger,
the familiar scent which had always told
him he was near to his master. But In
way it was different-very different. Yet
there was no mistaking the fact that 1t
was joey In that black wagon-inside the
close cover As some one has said, Dogs
see with their noses more than with their
eyes" And so 1t was true in Bingo's
case. His nose told him where his young
master was. Also something made him
know there had taken place great
change with his beloved Joey, and that
never, never again would the old life, so
dear SO sweet, be theirs-Joey's and Bin
COS.
Then went a long procession of wagons,
carriages and buggies towards q hillside

strange white, gllstening stones very

When Lettie Lost Her Tongue.
BY HELENA DAVIS.

Ing into public road quarter of mile
away. Lettie ran into the house to tell
her mother of what had happened. Alas,
when about to cry out that a witch had
stolen her tongue she remembered that
she could not say a word. Throwing her
arms about her mother the little girl
burst into a flood OF tears. Then, in an
swer to her mothers anxious question
ing Lettie wept afresh and opened her
mouth, showing the absence of her
tongue.
MY dear daughter, where has your
tongue gone tor asked the mother of
Lettie. But seeing that Lettie had no
way of telling her except through the
means Of pencil and paper she hurried
into the library and procured writing ma
terial NOW, write about what has
happened" she said, being very much
worried over her little daughters con-
dition.
And Lettie wrote OF how the old witch
had come and stolen away her tongue.
But of her foolish wish she wrote not
word until her mother questioned her
closely. Then, with blushing face, she
confessed how she had foolishly wished
to lose her tongue, thinking that without
one she should avoid being kept in after
school for whispering; and how sorry her
mother would be when her little Lettie
could not talk any more. And slowly
she wrote out the whole truth, telling
how 1t was for the purpose of making
her mother and teacher feel badly that
she had made so rash a wish; and that
after all, 1t was she-Lettie-wh was
the real sufferer. And after the. poor
mother had consoled Lettie as best she
could by promising to have the country
secured for the witch, and the stolen
tongue restored, she. pointed out to Lettie
the fact that she was suffering the evil
result of her own willful naughtiness.
With penitent tears streaming down
her cheeks Lettie wrote on the sheet Of
paper a pledge that she would never,
never make such a foolish, willful wish
again; and furthermore, should she ever
recover her precious tongue, she would
make an earnest endeavor to use 1t with
caution, only talking when she had some
thing to say and never, no never, never,
using It to whisper with In school when
she should be getting Der lessons.
Lettie's mother and father instigated

ter's voice.
And SO passed three days and nights
Then on a certain morning Bingo was
led from the house to his place in the
big warm barn. one of the neighbor
men leading him. But from the window
of the barn Bingo could watch the house,
and to his wonder he saw many people
coming, some remaining in their vehicles
In the yard while others alighted and
went into the house. There was great
but silent gathering which reused Bingo's
curiosity. And all the time Blngo won
dered and wondered what 1t was all
about, aud also wondered why joey re-
malned so long In his room. Although
Bingo could not count the time by days
and nights he knew long time had
elapsed since he had seen Joey, and his
poor heart was full of apprehension over
this sudden change in their daily routine.
But into the barn came Joeys father
and several of the neighboring men. The
expression on Joey's fathers face was
very strange, and Bingo whined softly to
himself on noting II. Silently the horses
In the barn were hitched to the two.
seated carriage that stood In the shed.
Joey's father took his place in the rear
seat while two of the farmers occupied
the drivers seat. This, too, was strange
to Bingo. He had been accustomed to
seeing Joey and his father occupy the
front seat and Joey's mother and baby
sister In the back seat.
Then the carriage was drawn up at the
front door and Joey's mother was assist
ed by several women friends TO her place

ing off down the road In the cold after
noon. But Blngo, still hiding behind The
tall white stone. kept his place till the
last wagon was out of sight. Then he
came forth and went straight to the
newly-made mound, lying down across 1t.
Turning his eyes towards the sky he
whined softly, his great eyes, SO full of
mortal suffering, becoming dim with mols-
ture. Who dares to say that an animal
a dog-never sheds tears while suffering
grief knows little of what he is talking
about. In that cold afternoon, lying
prone across the grave of his dear mas
ter, Bingo really wept like child. His
very heart shed tears, and his plaintive
whine was in reality moan.
But as the night came down Bingo re-
turned to his home, creeping into the
barn to sleep. Joey's father came In to
attend to the horses. but Bingo did not
rise as had been his wont In former
days. Still he lay in the hay Of an I'M
used manger, his grief too deep to allow
Of his thinking Of food and drink.
And so the winter wore away, Bingo
remaining unhappy and silent He
never frisked about as In the days when
he had joey to plny with. He ate barely
enough to keep life within his emaciated
body. As the spring came and the early
blossoms began to appear In the meadow
Bingo sought out the old haunts, living,
no doubt, over the old life In memory
and associations. And sometimes he for
got to return to the house at night. And
then he got to wandering farther and
farther away from the home which now
held no tender tie for him. True, Joey's
parents were kind to him, but Joey was
not there. And ever since he could re-
member Joey had been his companion,
for they had grown up together.
One day Bingo was attracted by boy
"a gay-hearted fellow-who was passing
through the meadow and who whistled
to Bingo to follow him. Bingo went with
this new-found friend, following him
several miles to another farm. There he
remained a week or more, trying to for
get Joey and the old life in his new sur
roundings with a new and most gentle
master.
But there came a day when memories
of Joey and the dear old home surged
over him. Then he left his new home to
return no more He Travelled for two
days, finding water in the springs and
creeks along the roadside, and going with
out food. But on the third day he be-
gan to suffer from hunger. So he halted
at farm house where he heard the
sound of children's voices. He was
warmly received by both the grown-ups
and the children. Food was given him
and the family of good-hearted folk did
everything to induce the tramp dog"
as they called Bingo, to remain with
them. And he really had some pleasant
days there, going to the river with the
boys and following the girls phaeton to
town. But one day while in town the
longing to travel again came over him.
He had been thinking of Joey, and that
Los Angeles herald., 1907-08-25

once with Joey. and Joey had scolded him
gently for running about over little grassy
mounds, and had taken him away from
the place very quickly. And now, unoo-
served, he went there again today, follow
ing in the rear of the last vehicle to
avoid being seen and driven home again.
He knew that his Joey was In that black
wagon which lead the procession, and be
was determined to know what they-all
those men and women-meant to do with
him.
Arrived within the fenced hillside four
men lifted a black box from the long
black wagon. Bingo ran right up to 1t
and shifted at 1t. The men told him to go
away and one threatened him with big
heavily-shod foot when he dlsobeyed. And
then it was Joey's mother who saw Bin
go there, and holding out her hand to
him she said Come, dear old Bingo.
Joey loved you So" Her words were
spoken in a trembling voice, and as Bingo
went to her side she knelt beside him
and he felt something like raindrops on
his upturned face. Somehow, his heart
was almost as heavy as the poor mothers,
for he knew that Joey would never be
theirs again.
Then Bingo crept away from the crowd
and lay behind a tall stone little dis
lance off. From there he watched the
men place the long black box into a deep,
newly made hole. And then the dirt and
snow were shoveled into the hole, cover
ing up the box. Bingo whined softly to
himself Joey was Therein that box.
His nose had told him SO.
And then the hillside was left alone. the

a search throughout the entire county for
the old witch who had stolen away Let
ties tongue. For days the search con-
tinued, but no trace of the old witch
could be found. Every cave and noun
tain-top was thoroughly searched, and
even the interior of old hollow trees were
looked into sometimes a fire being
started at the trees roots to make the
old witch come out should she be hidden
there. But nowhere could she be found.
At last after days of fruitless search,
the parents and friends of Lettie were on
the point of giving up in despair, believ-
ing that the little girls tongue was for.
ever lost to her. Lettie, who had been
accompanying one of the searching par
ties-the party conducted by her mother
became very detected, and as the search
ers turned their faces homeward she
begged to be allowed to stop beside
clear, sparkling brook to rest bit and
take a nap that she might overcome the
exhaustion of the tiresome search before
starting for her home. The request, OF
course, was made In writing, branch
of learning Lettie was not very proficient
in as she had whispered and played so
much in school that her studies were sad
ly neglected
And it was during this time Of horrible
suspense and grief over the loss of her
tongue that Lettie realized her need OF
writing and spelling. And she made the
vow that whether or not she ever recov-
cred her tongue she would devote her
school days to serious study. And In all
her after years she never broke that vow
or violated the pledge she had made In
writing on the day her tongue was stolen.
Letties mother granted her little
daughters request to rest a bit beside the
pretty shaded stream, telling the others
of the party to continue their journey
slowly and that she and Lettie would
soon overtake them. Then, that Lettie
might not be disturbed in her much
needed sleep, the mother went few PAGES
away from her, sitting down on fallen
tree trunk out of Lettie's view.
Lettie, stretching herself on the messy
bank to rest, looked up at the beautiful
sky SO full of floating clouds AS she
watched the clouds tying across the blue
background she felt more keenly than
ever the loss of her tongue, for she
wished so much to call out to her mother
to look up at them and to admire their
beauty. Then, tears binding her, she
thought over little prayer that some
fairy would chance that way and bring
her the dear, precious lost tongue. Even
as she breathed the prayer a touch as
soft as down fell on her eyes, which
closed in slumber. Then beside her

Irish Wit.

An Irish Judge, among other peculiari-
ties, had habit Of begging pardon on
every possible occasion. On his circuit
his favorite expression was employed in
a very singular manner At the close
of the assize, as he was about to leave
his bench, the officer of the court re-
minded him that he had not yet passed
sentence on one of the criminals, as he
had intended.
Dear me-" said his lordship, II really
beg his pardon-bring him In immedi-
ately."
Two Irishmep were standing looking at
Niagara Falls. O'Toole said:
"Begorra, it's most wonderful, amt
1t, PatY"
whats wonderful about itr' asked
Pat, in very cool tone.
"Why man, to see all that water comm
over thin rocks" replied O'Toole, enthu-
siastically.
81 don't see as it's wonderful" dryly
responded Pat, putting his pipe in his
mouth. There's nothin' to hinder it's
comm over as much as 1t dim pieases."
