The Iron Which is Gold.

If Il should give me a dish of
sand, and tell me there were particles
of iron in it, l might look for them
with my eyes and search for them
with my clumsy fingers, and be I'M
able to detect them; but let me take
a magnet and sweep through it, and
how it would draw to itself the in
visible particles by the mere power
of attraction The unthankful heart,
like my fingers in the sand, discovers

heart sweep through the day, and as
the magnet finds the iron. it will find
in every hour some heavenly bless
ings. Only the iron in Gods sand is

of the close proximity of a fau!tlessly

horror as he deciphered his own name

He had scarcely regained his men

Upon close inspection, however,

felt greatly relieved, and, under the
impression that some eccentric friend
had presented him with a ara avis,
he proceeded to unite the knot of

in a suit between II. M. Meter, of
Philadelphia, and S. E. Paul, of
Woodbury., on a claim for $3.50, had
a little tilt in court with Attorney

1t was while Mr.. Watkins was argu-
ing a point that Mr.. Johnson began
to "soliloquize," as Watkins declared,
in an audible tone, and that there
was a room adjoining for that pur-
pose" Suppose you come out, too"
retorted Johnson, "and I'll argue it
out with you, or any other time out

Find Food Bill Defects.

A hearing was held by the Senate
Public Health Committee, at Tren-
ton, on the Freyiinghusen Pure Food
Dill. Mrs. Lakey, of Crawford, was
one of the principal speakers in favor
of the bill. She is secretary of the
Consumers Society, and took active
part in having the National Pure
Food bill passed. She declared that
the women Of the State unanimously
were in favor of the Freylinghuysen
bill, and would worry the men I'M
til it became law. George Berringer,
OF Camden, secretary of the State
Pharmacy Association, said there
were numerous defects in the pro-
posed law. He said that a provision
making druggists write the ingredi-
ents of a physicians prescription on
a bottle would alarm patients, partic-
ularly where such drugs as cocaine
are used. Many recommendations
were made for improvement of the
bin.

'ernated abroad, or, when in town, at
his club.
She, curiously enough, had never
ceased loving him, and had, by her
charming personality, won a warm
place in his parents affections, with
whom she dwelt.
A mere trlvlality had separated
them. Just at first wounded pride
;ilenced her. But when days merged
themselves into years without word
or sign, her anguish increased pro
rata, so 1t came to pass that the
wealth of love cemented itself in her
bonnie little f~ve-year-old son his
father had never seen, though cog
infant of his existence.
There were times when she felt an
lndescribable longing for his presence
then she would summon all her
dignity to her aid and strive to over
come it-but our wills are not al
ways under control, and feminine ma
ture is still ar unsolvable quantity.
Thus, she decided that concessions.
IL any, must certainly emanate from
her If their embittered lives were
ever to be welded into one harmoni-
Gus whole.
So, like a thorough tactician, she
formulated her plans and resolved to
storm the citadel. Her anticipation
of victory was heightened by the en-
couraging reports of mutual friends
who assured her that his misery ex-
ceeded hers-his loneliness in the
midst of social distraction more pro-
nounced-and his s~tubbornness still
his besetting sin.
Easter morn with the scent Of lilies
in the air; the glorious radiant sun
lavishing her quivering spears of
abundant gold on the fashionable
throng promenading the avenue Ard
he-irreproachably attired, nodding
nonchalantly to passing acquaintance
from his point of vantage-allows a
shade of annoyance to maj his cyni-
cal c-ountenance as an express a

of swelldom.
But annoyance quickly gives place
to CONSERVATION as a huge packing

led with solicitous concern by sons

him more than the c~ongregated spec
tators.

The Father of All.

Someone has caught this beautiful
message from the trees and flowers.
AS the natural sun does not shine
for a few trees and flowers, but for
the whole world, so the Sun of Right
eousness shines not for a favored few
but for the world of human hearts.
AS the lonely pine on the mountain
side looks up to the sun and cries,
Thou art my sum-" and the little
meadow violet looks up and whispers.
Thou art my sum-" and each helo
OF grass and grain upon a thousand
hills looks up and softly breathes.
Thou art my sum-" so the high and
low, the rich and poor, the Caucasian
and African can look up to the Sun
of Righteousness and say, Thou art

Harding was unable to account for
