A Life That Defeats Itself.

Self-centred life is everywhere the
great disturber of human happiness.
1t defeats itself and keeps it's vic
tins forever upon the rack.
1t collides with others interests,
and God is in it's way.
1t destroys the peace of the home.
1t leads husbands to be Indifferent
or unkind to their wives, and wives
to regard their husbands only as the
chief of their own conveniences.
1t underlies suits for divorce.
1t leads children to demand that
the whole of the family arrangement
shall be managed with reference to
their personal pleasure.
1t breeds social ~jealousies and
neighborhood quarrels; it breaks up
church chOirs, scrambles for the chief
seats in the synagogues, and sets
church members to praying, Lord,
grant that we may sit Oh Thy right
hand and on Thy left in Thy King
DOM"
1t leads Diotrephes to love the pre-
eminence.
1t is to the credit of the religion of
Christ that s~elfishness cannot live in
peace with it.-Rev. D. w. Hunting

Caught.

A member of the Pittsburg Con-
ference tells an interesting little
story on one of his W boys. The
incident happened when the lad was
quite young. but after he had learned
to pray. He had some trouble one
day with his older brother. They
came to their father with the matter
as he sat at work in his study. The
merits of the case were examined
into by the father, and when he was
through it was clear that the younger
boy was entirely in the fault.
The youngster also keenly realized
that fact. After giving the boy a
kindly admonition, the father turned
again to his book. Presently he
heard the little fellow over in the
corner of the room praying. Among
the petitions which reached the
fathers ear was this one: 90 Good
Man, do help me, for I'm caught"
It's the old story of the Child
being father to the man." There is
a superstition current that there are
some praying folks in the world who
really don't work much at the bust
ness except when they get about
where the preachers boy was. His
case had this merit in it, that he
frankly confessed his unpleasant posi-
ton; acknowledged that he was
caught" The. full-grown man who
pleads for help on the same ground
usually shuns a confession of his mo-
tive as long as misunderstanding

Force of Habit.

A Boston psychologist was recently
reminded of the story of the Russian
taller who, changing his occupation,
found the chief interest of his leisure
moments in catching birds, putting
them in cages and selling them to the
highest bidder.
The scientist having to attend a
series of lectures in a large public
hall struck up an acquaintance with
the janitor of the building and soon
noted in him a suggestive bent of
mind, and would occasionally report
the exact number present. I'VE have
lis here tonight" he would say, or
"just 201, all toli," or, when the hall
was crowded, q make it $40" There
was a problem in all this, but it took
some time for the psychologist to
solve it.
A bit of friendly, familiar talk, con-
tinually renewed, did the business, for
it brought out the fact that the JAM
tor had spent many of the previous
years of his life as warden in an
Eastern prison. With rifle on Shout
der, from some enclosing wall, the
man had counted his eonvicts until
the habit became ingrained. In the
recesses of his brain the lecture hall
took the shape of a Jail yard and
the audiences were his prisoners. He
counted because he wished to know if
all were there.-The American Home

way-when not only the great crises
but the tiny commonplace are beau
tited-then we become big. 1t Is
in the direction of the discernment of
the simple, the inclusion of the trifle;
that Christian growth proceeds. Sd
when a man is awake we have got to
educate his conscience and his moral
and spiritual perceptions until he can
hear the faintest call of duty even
along a commonplace road.
The third human means whereby
men will be perfected is the ministry
of sacriicial toll. "Whereunto I
labor, striving according to his work.
ing, which worketh in me nightly"
There is nj English word which
brings out the meaning of "labor" as
used here. In John 4, where Jesus
meets the woman of Samaria, He
being wearied with His journey, sat
or the we'll" This is the word trans
lated here, as If the apostle said, II
labor and share the WEAKNESS of
Jesus" 1t is laboring to the point
OF fatigue, to the loss of blood. Men
will be perfected through some labor
ing till they are spent. It is taking
your thought and giving 1t to the
thoughtless, taking your strength and
giving it to the strengthless. 1t is
the. morally and spiritually healthy
taking their blood to the morally and
spiritually anaemic. 1t includes the
provision of decent houses, the ap-
~portionment of a fair days labor,
the removal of every fence and bar
rier along legitimate roads, the
smashing of every paddock which
holds the soul in unholy bondage.
But to give a man a better house
and render him like service in other
things is no more giving him Christ
than a free library is Mr.. Carnegie.
1t may be Christian work, but it is
not Christ. 1t is chivalrous work, but
it is no substitute for Him. 1 would
not class such services among things
secular. l would keep them within
the palace, but would not allow them
to have the throne. When you have
given a mar a better home and have
placed a garden round his house, you
have only prepared the way of the
Lord-the King has yet to come.
You have got to preach Jesus to
awake the dead, to educate the mans
conscience when he is awake, to de-
vote your energies in sacrifcial toll
to the removal of all hindrances ia a
mans moral and spiritual progress.
Let us not forget to see to our
selves. Even the reformer needs the
Saviour; and the crusader needs the
Christ. Even the best worker in
this mission will falter and fail I'M
less he be sustained. "Be thou faith
full unto death, and 1 will give thee
a crown of life." The promise applies
now. 1t is as if the Lord said to us:
Look after thy fidelity and 1 will
look after thy vitality" 1t is not
when the warfare is over that 1 shall
want my crown; the Lord waits to
crown me now
Then preach Jesus, educate and re-
fine the conscience, give your blood.
Every man perfect"-make that
your aim. Confront everybody with
that purpose in your mind, and see
in everybody the possibility of per-
lection in Christ. Live for this; grow
old for this; die for this.
Soldiers of Christ, arise,
And put your armor on;
Strong in the strength which God supplies
Through His eternal Son.

Beautiful Through Sacrifice.

She was sitting upon her mothers
lap-a lassie of five-and she was
urging an answer to a childlike ques-
ton. The mothers hands were dark
and SCARED, and the child had often
noted the difference between her
mothers hands and those of others.
"Tell me, mamma, why are your
hands so dark? They are not pretty
at ALL" But there was hesitancy on
the mothers part; she did not wish to
tell the story. Yet on this occasion
she was urged SO strongly that she
said: "Once, when you were a little
girl, we were sitting before the open

fell into the fire. l quickly picked

GEORGE M. SHIPPY SAVES LIFE
His Son and the Coachman Partici.
pate in Desperate Encounter
With q Supposed Anarchist
Mrs. Shippy Present.

Chicago, Ill.-George M. Shippy,
chief of the Chicago Police Depart
ment, shot and killed an anarchist
who invaded his home, and who shot
the chiefs son, Harry, in the lung
and severely wounded the family
coachman, James Foley, as we'll as
wounded the chief himself. The chief
of police was stabbed in the hand.
The assailant entered Chief Ship
py's house while the chief and his
son were alone iii n of the rooms.
The nan is said to have handed the
chief q letter, which the latter opened
and began to read. Almost imme-
diately the anarchist drew a revol-
yer and fired at Harry Shippy. The
boy fell to the floor and his father
grappled with the assailant.
Foley, hearing the shooting, rushed
to his employers aid. AS Foley
entered the room the anarchist broke
from the chiefs grasp, aimed DELHI
erately and shot Foley twice.
Again the chief closed with the
man, and the latter turned on him
with a knife. Chief Shippy attempted
to grasp the weapon, and received a
deep cut IN the hand. The official
then succeeded in reaching his own
revolver and fired shot after shot at
his assailant. Every bullet took
effect, and the anarchist fell to the
floor dead.

streak OF lightning that he was up to

II tried to hold him with one hand
and draw my revolver with another,
but he jerked away and fell against

he fought hard to reach his revolver.
My son must have heard the struggle,

man freed n hand, drew his re-
volver, and fired two shots at my son
Then Foley ran in and the man shot
him.
by this time I was able to draw

four times. The first two bullets
entered his head and the others his
body. He fell at the first shot and

man drew a knife also in the strug-
gle, but l didn't know 1 had been

to have been inspired by the recent
activity of the Chicago police, follow
ing the killing of the Rev. Leo Helm

was shot by al anarchist in Denver,

The way
Some of our people chuck their wads
Is a sight for men and gods;
And the bunch with the stuff to sell
Get out and yell
With wild delight
At the sight.
They know
Which way The dollars go,
And they throw
Their nets over the easy-marks
Like a flock of larks.
But what do the spenders care,
So long as they have the fareZ
No matter what it is that calls
For money, great or small,
The spenders do not count the cost
But want to a it all.
They buy a dinner at a price
10 make Lucullus weep;
They laugh at figures that would put
Oaligula to sleep.
The tips they hand out everywhere
For any little thing
That's done for them are equal to
The ransom of a king.
1hey scatter money everywhere
For what they eat and drink,
The clothes they wear, the rent they pay
And nothing Is gezink
Unless it's cheap. By gum for that
They will not stand, and they
Have no regard for anyone
Who doesn't make them pay.
The price is standard in their minds;
There's nothing else in sight;
And those who cater to that kind
VIII make the price all right.
Of course it's vulgar; likewise wrong
But there's no cure, and those
Who haven't got must get in next
To where the money goes
And grab off all they can, till they
Become the spenders; then

Till they get rich again,
And so on ad infnitum,

daIs, Insurance, Failure to Pros
ecute Shipbuilding Case, and
Other Matters Are Considered.
Albany, ". Yin a petition con-
tanning the first formal charges pre-
ferred to Governor Hughes against
District Attorney William Travers
Jerome, the Chief Executive of the
State was asked to remove the pros
ecuting officer of New York City and
county on the ground of repeatedly
demonstrated unftness for the duties
of his position.
The petition, backed by twenty
three specific allegations, was pre-.
scented to the Governor by William
F. King in behalf of a committee of
stockholders of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, of which he
is chairman.
The charges relate to UNPUBLISHED
jury fixing by the Metropolitan; to
unprecedented high finance" by the
combine which is alleged to have loot
ed the Metropolitan; to numerous IL
legal acts of insurance officials as dis
closed by the Armstrong committee;
to the Shipbuilding Trust fiasco, and
to other matters.
Mr.. King and his committee, sum-
ming up their charges against Mr..
Jerome, say: by reason of these
facts, which have been brought into
marked prominence through the .ex-
listing depressed condition of the
country, Mr.. Jerome has lost COM
pletely, we submit, the confidence of
the people. His habit of becoming
the advocate of the wealthy accused
in many of the cases detailed has
public confidence in him.
"a large proportion of the citizens
of New York County, however unjust
toward Mr.. Jerome their feelings may
be, have, nevertheless, been led by
these facts to believe that he is the
friend and protector of the wealthy
criminal and not the attorney and the
protector of the whole people. With
confidence in him thus impaired, his
great abilities make him all the more
distrusted.
with the loss of public confidence
he has seemed to lose ever interest in
the enforcement of the laws, and
those of his former close friends who
are i%nsistent upon their enforcement
are regarded by him as his enemies
Mr.. King was chairman of the
Nominators' Committee which pro-
posed Jerome to the people in his last
campaign.
Governor Hughes, in receiving the
charges, said he would give them
thorough and speedy consideration
and would at once send a copy OF
them to Jerome.
