jenkins slid quietly out of bed, drew
On his trousers and coat, stepped into
his slippers and lifted baby out of his
basket. Then he went downstairs,
turned on the light, and sat before the
crate, in which bed of Goals was still
glowing. Without looking at the lit
tie clock on the mantel, he knew it
was about 1870 a. m. Force of habit
always led to his awaking at this hour
to give Baby his bottle, for, when Baby
came, Jenkins had agreed to take the
night shift, the chief duty of which
was to give the young man his milk
and peppermint
jenkins unrolled his bundle, disclos-
ing round, red face over which two
chubby fists were kneading. Then he
leaned forward and held the bottle
over the fire. Baby opened his eyes
and began shifting uneasily. This un-
easiness was an infallible sign of trou-
Bile, for Jenkins had become wise in
the ways Of babies.
He placed the warm nipple in Ba-
by's mouth and leaned back content
edly, taking cigar from his pocket,
as was his wont, and prepared to pass
the time of Baby's feasting comfort.
But Baby would not feast. He refused
the bottle absolutely, and began wrig-
Cling and twisting in a way that could
mean but one thing-"wind on the
stomach" or just plain baby collie. So
jenkins laid his cigar by and calmly
awaited more alarming symptoms.
Baby ceased his smiling, puckered his
red face frightfully, closed his eyes
and emitted one long, startling wall.
1t was the first light thunder roll that
precedes the storm.
jenkins sighed resignedly, in antici-
patton of the impending ordeal For a
little while the responsibility of a ia
ther weighed heavily upon him, and
he half wished he were back in bach
elordom. This thing of doing right by
is not what it is cracked up
to be, thought he, as he teetered the
fretting baby ON his knee.
While Baby quieted to take a long
breath for the next wall, Jenkins

absolutely determined and controlled

it SO happens, even attended stock
holders meeting, either in person or
by proxy. He owns less than ten per
cent of the stock of The Outlook; the
other ninety per cent being owned by
those who are actively engaged in
editing and publishing the paper
When Mr. Stillman put the money
which is now represented by his stock
at DR.. Abbott's service, he simply per-
formed generous act for a personal
friend, for which DR.. Abbott takes this,
the first public occasion that has ever
offered, to express his grateful and ap-
preciative acknowledgment Apart
from this contribution to it's financial

only act of participation in the man
agement of the paper was his cordial
cooperation with the other stockhold-
ers by surrender of a part Of his
stock to make it possible for some Of
the active workers IN the office to be-
come stockholders. If the act of un-
principled rumor-venders has given
either Mr.. Stillman or the president
any annoyance, The Outlook sincerely
regrets the fact. That it enables The
Outlook to express sense of indebt-
edness to two men-Lawson Valentine
and James Stillman-who made the
creation Of The Outlook possible, but
who have never been known to the
public in connection with it, is a mat
ter of genuine satisfaction.

THE PRESIDENT, MR.. STILLMAN
AND THE OUTLOOK.

The false report put in circulation
by some of the presidents enemies
that in his association with The Out
look he had connected himself with a
journal controlled by the Standard Oil
company has ELECTED from him the fol-
lowing statement:
The president has not the slightest
concern with the question as to who
are the stockholders of The Outlook.
His concern is with the general policy
of the paper, which is and has been
consistently admirable in every res
pect The president will be respon-
sible only for what he himself writes;
and his probable attitude must be
judged by his action in the past.
Whether Mr.. James Stillman is con-
nected with the Standard Oil company
we do not know. The facts concern
ing his connection with The Outlook
are as follows: About forty years ago
Lyman Abbott became associated with
Henry Ward Beecher in the editorship
of The Christian Union. When, some
eight or ten years later, Mr.. Beecher's
inclinations led him to retire, an en-
deavor was made by DR.. Abbott to pur-
chase the paper. Among those who
aided him financially in this effort
were Mr.. Lawson Valentine and Mr. /.
James Stillman, both of whom were
neighbors and warm personal friends.
They believed in him and in his plan OF
making journal Of national influence.
They not only aided him in buying the
paper which is now The Outlook, but
also in the struggles that we're neces-
sary to put the paper on its feet. Mr..
Valentine, who has since died, was
much more largely interested than Mr..
Stillman; but neither of them ever
sought to exercise the slightest con-
troll over the editorial policy, which
for thirty years has been and still Is
