III Told Her She Was the Only Girl in
the World for Me-"

The first time saw her would be the

long breath I'd had since the night
before. But in minute I knew I'd
have to write; and that's what I did!
All that afternoon wrote and tore UP

just the letter she ought to get. !

to him, and then I'd write it.

and was just starting out to post it,
when Capt. Wadleigh's orderly came
up and said that Miss Helen had left
note for me and wished me to go
over to the house and get it. I'started
over there and posted the letter on the
way. When I got to the gate I saw
Puddenhead and Big going up the
walk, and two of the other fellows
were looking out of the windows.

left note for all of them announcing
our engagement. won't have to put
up bluff or anything!'
Mrs. Wadleigh was sitting inside
talking to the fellows already there.
and In minute in came Adams, and
there we were, all six. Mrs Wadleigh
got up and went over to her desk.
You boys and Helen are such jokers!'
she said. I don't know what the joke
is this time, but I suppose it is some
of Helen's nonsense. She asked me to

SERMONETTE.

This story of Jonah, Endorsed
and confirmed by Christ him.
: self, needs no further indorse-
nent of scholar or critic to make
it authentic to the minds of the
deVout and earnest students of
: Gods word. The easiest and
most reasonable way out of all
the difficulties Of the book is
: just to take it for what it says.
1t teaches many profound les
sons, first of all, perhaps, being
that of the wideness of Gods
. plans and the narrowness of
the conception of Gods serv-
; ants.
While God was concerned
with all the world, and his heart
had gone out in mercy and love
to that great city of Nineveh,
his servant, Jonah, had so To-
; calized himself and so limited
the mercy and blessing of God
to the one nation of Israel that
he could not for moment con-
ceive of the possibility of its be-
ing right or just to give Nine
ven a chance.
Preach to Nineveh! Prepos-
terous! And Gods prophet
was in a rage and sought to
escape the discharge of the
commission laid upon him.
There are great many run
away disciples of God, it is to be
feared; disciples whose narrow
conception of Gods work tempts
them to avoid the service which
would take them far from home
and to a people and nation not
their own.
Jonah needed larger vision
Of Gods purposes and plans, and
SO do we. The prayer: "Lord
bless me, and my wife, bless my
son John, and his wife, US four,
and no more," must give place
to the prayer which takes in all
the world in that true spirit
which makes one willing to 90
and follow up the prayer, in a
life of service.
"Woe is unto me-" cries Paul,
"if | preach not the Gospel"
ard thrust out from his own ma
tion and his own people he must
needs carry Gods world wide
Gospel to the l&termost parts
of the wide, wide world.
There are two consequences
Of Jonah's disobedience and at
tempt to escape doing what God
had directed him to do. First,
his own suffering and danger,
and second, the great distress
and peril into which his conduct
plunged other people.
But out of this dark chapter
in Jonah's history there shines
the bright light of an unwaver-
ing faith in God, and his willing
ness to bear all blame and the
consequences of his wrong-doing
in order that the innocent might
escape.
Even death In the sea did not
restrain him from trying to
right the wrong he had done to
those innocent sailors, and so he
urges them to cast him out, his
faith in God being strong enough
to assure him that come what
might he could only afford to
do that which was right. The
reward of faith came in his re-
rnarkabIe preservation.

For Penny-a-Word TeIeorans.

It is hoped that a conference of the

held this year in London with a view
to introducing penny a word tele-

diminution of revenue through the
adoption of this measure as not ex-

CH|LDERN RESCUED
FROM AWFUL FATE

Milwaukee, Oct 21.-Locked in theil
burning home and unable to make
their escape, while flames approached
closer and closer, four children OF
Mrs. Mary Sovas, 312 Fifth street
were rescued from certain death by
cremation by August G. Schmidt, as
sistant clerk in the municipal court
and Eric Mueller, at s o'clock yester
day morning. The two broke down
the door of the home and rescued the
children, and then extinguished the
blaze.
The four children saved, all little
girls, are:
Anna, aged 5 years.
Josephine, aged 31s years.
Emelia, aged years.
Agnes, aged 10 months.
Schmidt and Muller were passing
the Sofas home, when they were
startled by the cry of woman, 'The
children are in there" They looked
and saw smoke issuing from one of
the rooms of the house. Running
around the cottage, Schmidt put his
shoulder to the door, and it gave way.
He dashed into the kitchen and found
the four little children huddled to-
gether and anxiously awaiting death
or rescue. The oldest girl, aged
years, seized the baby and was taken
outside by Schmidt Then he returned
and secured the other two and took
them out
In the meantime, Mueller had Sc
cured water and extinguished the
flames in the bedroom When the
fire department arrived the flames had
been put out.

UNCERTAINTY STILL
PERPLEXES POWERS
FRENCH GOVERNMENT CIRCLES
ARE YET NERVOUS OVER
SITUATION.
EFFORT MADE TO PERSUADE
TURKEY TO SETTLE WITH
AUSTRIA AND BULGARIA.

Paris, Oct. 21.-The feeling in
French government circles is dis
tinctly nervous with regard to the
situation in the Balkans and the pro-
posed international congress. Official
advices from Turkey indicate that the
Turkish government is manifesting
some impatience because Bulgaria has
failed to present any official commu-
nication since Turkey received
French assurance made in the name
of Emperor Ferdinand while
from Sofia comes the information
that the Malinoff cabinet still refuses
to accept the advice of Ferdinand,
who advocates a peaceful settlement,
and insists it would be preferable to
go to war than pay indemnity.
Until the Bulgarian ministry yields
definitely, it is considered by the
French government that danger OF
war has not been dispelled.
Reports current in Paris that Baron
Won Bieberstein, the German ambas
sador at Constantinople, has been
counselling war at that city, while not
confirmed, caused diSquietude, eSpec
tally as Germany's attitude grows
more and more enigmatical. 1t is not
unnatural that such reports should
find easy credence here where the be
lief is now general that Germany and
Austria-Hungary are joining hands in
an effort to persuade Turkey to settle
the issues with regard to the annex
alton of Bosnia and Herzegovina and
the declaration of Bulgaria's indie
pendence directly with Austria and
Bulgaria respectively, thus avoiding
the necessity of an international con
gress.
