Wealth.

Sometimes in thinking about a sub
Ject on which we are tempted to write,
we come across something so much
better than anything we could produce
and which so exactly expresses our
feelings on the subject that we feel
like dropping our pen, and adopting it
in toto. Here is an instance. It is
from the pen of Burnett Hamilton and
the subject is wealth. The English
language doesn't contain a richer gem
- Poor, am |? Nay, am rich, through

Mary Preston in Jail.
ary power

From Brookfeld Budget.
Mrs. Mary Preston, widow of the
late Joseph HI. Preston, was up before
Justice Carbon last Wednesday,
charged by the prosecuting attorney
with keeping and maintaining a house
of ill repute in South Brookfeld. She
plead guilty and was sentenced to inn
prisonment in the county Jail for a
period of twenty days. She was taken
to Linneus Thursday by the constable.
1t is stated on good authority that
Mrs. Preston has become insane
When she married Mr. Preston few
years ago, he was a man of consider
able wealth. The property, however.
soon disappeared, and Mr.. Preston
was last summer adjudged insane and
committed to the county infrmary,
where he soon died. Mrs. Preston,
thereupon, sold her interest in her
husbands estate and bought herself a
small house in the fourth ward and
put the balance of the money in the
bank. The money, however, soon dis
appeared and she became destitute.
Her children were taken from her
and cared for by charitable friends, in
order that they might be properly
cared for and educated.
Mrs. Preston will undoubtedly be
brought up before the county or pro-
bate court and the question of her in
sanity inquired into. If she has lost
her mind, she will probably be taken
to the county infrmary and cared for
there, rather than be committed to
state hospital number 2, at St. Joseph

A large audience participated in
and enjoyed the service last Sunday

eff all of the members were just
like me,
What kind of a church would our
church be?"
Charles M. Sheldon writes of a
woman of his acquaintance as follows:
"She was just an ordinary woman,
without much leisure or time for cul-
ture.
"She did not know the difference
between an Ionic and Doric column
in architecture, and she was not up
on china-painting or the Roman en-
perors.
"But she brought up three children
to tell the truth, to love God, to love
their brothers and to do honest labor
with their hands and not be ashamed
of it. When she died the papers did
not notice it, but the Recording An
gel said, as he reached for fresh pen
and turned over to clean page: "A
queen is coming; get her throne
ready"
There are doubtless queens of this
kind in Laclede. The church stands
for that which is best in every man
and woman.

Miss Laura Love, the efficient Jun
ior League superintendent, has been
reading "Twelve Little Pilgrims Who
Stayed at Home" to the Juniors, a
chapter each Sunday afternoon. The
Juniors are investing in some tracts
which they intend to distribute.
Everyone in the church and Sun
day school work greatly misses j. G.
Fletcher from hls accustomed place
and hopes for his speedy entire re-
covery.
The prayer-meetings held every
Thursday evening are good indeed.
Are you one who is receiving benefit
from them? IF not, why not?
When you come to the church SER
vices, please take book and engage
in the readings and in singing the
hymns. The service will mean more
to you if you do.

Be as careful to keep the weeds out
Of the minds of your children as you
are to keep them out of your garden.

If there is one thing above another
a young man should be ashamed of do
ing, it is loafng without aim, purpose
or profit, on the streets or in stores,
day after day all week. If you haye
nothing to do, stay at home-a part
of the time at any rate. No young
man with any self respect will content
himself with aspiring to no higher rep
utation than that of a chronic loafer
and store box magnate. Nothing
will so blunt the higher faculties of
the mind as inactivity; and no inact-
ivity is so baneful and malevolent in
its effect as that voluntary idleness
termed loafng.
Let us say to bendicts, young and
old, if you did but show an ordinary
civility toward those common articles
of housekeeping-your wives-if you
would give them a hundred and six
teenth part of the compliments you al
ways choked them with before you
were married, fewer women would
seek for other sources of affection.
Praise your wife, then for all the good
qualities she has and you may rest
assured that her Deficiencies are count
er balanced by your own.

We have great respect for the wo-
man who knows how to spare herself,
for the one who knows when she has
enough. We have respect for the one
who has the courage to say, 81 am not
strong enough to sew for the heather
and do my home duties also, and my
home is first," and who dares set in
her house and see others conduct sew
ing societies. This is no plea for idle
ness, or for selfshness that is like a |
canker to the soul, only a plea for a
knowledge of ones own powers and
limitations, for courage according to
the convictions, for judgement that is
enlightened and generous, not only |
towards others but towards herself.

1t is the daily life that tests us, the
