An Indirect Confession.

There were two little girls-sisters
who approached their mother one
day with question as to the ultimate
end Of liars.
Does every one who tells a lie go
to hell, mother?" asked the older one,
somewhat anxiously.
The mother hedged. She didn't real
ly like to preach uncompromising doc
trine of this nature, still an induce
ment to truth telling was much to be
desired.
Perhaps not" she said. Perhaps
II you ask God very earnestly to for
give the lie He will not send you to
hell"
The small sinner looked uneasy;
she had evidently hoped for some
thing more reassuring. Then sudden
ly she knelt down, pulling her little
sister down beside her.
"oh, God" she prayed, "sister and
have both told lies. Forgive us both,
forgive sister. and forgive me-and
especially me-" she finished

A Memoir Of Stanley Lucas.

On Christmas night of 1907 the
spirit of Stanley Lucas was borne on
angel wings from the scenes of the
earthly to the brighter scenes of the
heavenly, aged % years 10 mon tbs
and IA days.
He was of an earnest, frank disposi-
sition and made friends wherever he
went. His soul has gone to join the
innumerable company of that other
home.
Stanley always looked on the bright
side of life. Even when he beheld
the dark cold wave approaching which
would settle over him.forever, he ex-
pressed himself as ready to go aud
prayed for the end to come. he h as
left us. Those wearisome days are
over But we sorrow not as those who
have no hope for his life was crowned
with triumphant death. He leaves
us behind to await the SUNNI ons from
on high.
All was done that loving hands
could do but death has robbed US.
While we sorrow to-day we remember
God dceth IL things we'll.
Judging from shis life we believe he
could say, 20 death where Is thy
sting, o grave where Is thy victory"
1t is well with Stanley in heaven
and the pearly gate through h which he
has passed is left open 81 that In due
time we may follow.
over the river he beckons to me
The loved one who has crossed to the other
side.
The CLEAN of his snowy robe Isee
But his voice is drowned by the rushing tide
We only know that Stanley no more
In this life with US win be
Yet somewhere know ON unseen sho res
Stanley is waiting for me.
Now our hearts are sad and bleeding
And we feel our burden sore,
Yet we are sure that Gods blessing
VIII rest with him forever more.
In love he lived
In peace he died
His life was asked
But God denied.

Bears, unless hungry or abused, are
good.natured animals. and make anus
ing pets. when was in the revenue
service at Alaska" said a lieutenant
I'VE had a pet bear on the boat, and
we called him Wineska He used to
climb to the cross-trees, going up hand
over hand by the ratlines. One day he
ventured out on the yard.arm, and
there he stayed. We had to get a rope
and haul him down. Once he vaulted
over the head of our Chinese cook
and went into the lockers, where he
helped himself to sugar and butter.
We had tackling made for him,
much the same as a harness of a pet
pug, and we would drop him over.
board, with rope attached, to take
his bath. Once he landed in a native
boat and nearly frightened the occu.
pants out Of their wits. He was as
playful as kitten and, althouh he
sometimes disobeyed, he was never
treacherous or unkind. When he was
lost, or hid himself, as he often did,
we would look In the dark till we saw
two little balls of fire. These were
his tyes and gave him away every
time"

not delight in reading essays and dis

the individual in either affairs Of the
heart or gastric affairs. One author

eat that" But who can follow any
others advice? One enthusiast pro-
poses that all the world make apples a
part Of their daily fare, whereas we
know of one instance in which an ap-
pie stirs up such an interior eruption
that apples should always be tabooed

HYMNS OF eco TONGUES.
Origin Of Many Sacred Songs Told by
an English Authority.

There are no less than 100000
Christian hymns, according to DIR.
Julian, the celebrated English. au-
thority on sacred music, and they
have been written in 200 or more Ian
suages and dialects, says the Philadel.
phia Press.
Most popular among these. he says,
are: Rock of Ages, Cleft for Me-"
"Hark, the Herald Angels Sing"
Awake, My Soul, and with the Sum-"
and When ! Survey the Wondrous
Cross"
Some interesting stories are con.
nected. with the origin of a number Of
the famous hymns. For instance. It is
told that the English prelate, Bishop
Bickersteth, wrote Peace, Perfect
Peace" at the deathbed of a relative,
Archdeacon Hill of Liverpool, and that
the latter read the verses and compli-
mented them before he passed away
Just As I AM" said DR.. Julian, was
written by an invalid, Charlotte El
liott, while she was lying almost help
less upon sofa. All her relatives
had gone to an entertainment and as
she suffered alone in her home she
sighed that she might be taken away
Just as she was and the verses of the
hymn which thousands now sing
sprang into her mind.
John Byron, the author of Chris
tians, Awake" write that beautiful
hymn as a Christmas offering for his
daughter. He inscribed upon the
manuscript, Christmas Day for
Dolly"
Rock of Ages" II is said. was writ
ten by Augustus Toplady while he lay
sheltered from storm under two gi-
gantic limestone rocks, but there is no
proof upon which this can be based.

Up for Settlement.

Newark laboring men are awaiting
the result of the annual convention Of
the American Federation of Labor con-
v%ention, which will assemble at Den
yer Monday. 1t will probably be ono
of the most important sessions ever
held, as it will be definitely settled
whether the federation shall continue in
politics, as was attempted this year.
1t viii also be settled whether
Samuel Gompers shall continue as the
head of ting organization. lie has
stated tina he is MOI a candidate for
the position which he has held for
more than a quarter of a century. 1t
is said, however, that his election is as
sured if he will stand, because OF the
large number of organizations tina are
ready to support him.
There is another matter that will
take up considerable time of the con-
vention, and hat is the settlement of
the difficulty that exists in the Electri-
cal Workers union. That organization
is composed o. what are known as the
inside and outside men, the outside
men being the iinemen and the inside
those who wire buildings.
The linemen nave been at odds with
the inside workers for several years,
which recently eliminated in an open
warfare at a recent convention held by
the linemen at Cincinnati, when dele
gates we're elected to the A. F. of l..
convention.
The linemen also went so far as to
refuse to recognize Frank j. McNulty
as president of the organization.
