A Story Worth Telling.

Rev. Howard Henderson has pub
lished in the Western Christian Ad-
vocate some incidents of his minis
try. He does not give dates or
places, but the following bears evil
dence of belonging to the early years
of his ministry, when he labored IN
the sunny South: "a minister OF
large size and loud voice was preach
ing in my pulpit, sitting behind
him. An old brother, hard of hear
ing, occupied chair inside the chan
eel. He was given to ejaculation
when anything pleased him. He had
so much confidence in his preachers
that he sometimes doZed during a
discourse. The herculean preacher
shouldered the big Bible; and as he
brought it down like Nasmyth
hammer on the velvet cushion, in a
stentorian tone he exclaimed: lone
thought more, and I am done!' The
old brother, startled from his nap,
shouted: Praise the Lordi' 1t is
needless to say that the one thought
more was never uttered. The con-
gregation roared with laughter and
broke down while trying to sing the

The Enlargement of Life.

live in small town, to her cousin
who had been brought up with he1

up in their homes and husbands and
children. There aren't any concerts

ping in. I'm accustomed to a larger
life, and l can't sand this narrow
shut-in feeling"
The cousin, person of some wit
reflected. You're really just finding
out, Julia, how narrow your life has
always been,' she replied. Now is
you chance to enlarge it."
TO enlarge it," cried Julia, chok-
ing with establishment. Jean Evans,
If you could live in Smithville for
one week"
I'D feel the way you do" remark
ed Jean soothingly. But honestly
Julia, it isn't Smithville that's the
,trouble-it's you and me. Don't you
see, we've always expected the city
to do our living for us-to give us
music and amusement and friends
and good time. We don't even buy
for ourselves the things we really
need-we go to a department store
and let the bargain counter choose
for us what We shall spend our money
on. l read somewhere the other day
that live is what we are alive to. So
when we feel we might as well be
dead, it's our own fault"
There was deal of truth In her
analysis Of the situation. Life is a
very individual business. No two
people in the same circumstances
ever make just the same sized life
for themselves. 1t is all a matter OF
being more or less alive-of having
reactions" to this and that thing,
as science would put it. Life can be
narrow in a palace-as witness a
thousand dull, royalties of history
the world over-or large in a hut,
as Epictetus and Diogenes and Tho
reau and Joan of Arc and countless
other large-lived Municipalities have
proved it. To be alive to things is
the test-the things themsel Ives are
of relatively small Importance.

Ben Hills EuIogy on Robt. +. Lee

In an address before the Southern
Historical Society, delivered at At
lanta, February II, 1874, Senator
Ben Hill made the following eulogy
OF General X. E. Lee:
When the future historian shall
come to survey the character OF Lee
he will find 1t rising like a huge
mountain above the undulating plain
OF humanity. and he must lift his
eyes high toward heaven to catch its
summit. He possessed every virtue
Of other great commanders without
their vices. He was a foe without
hate; a friend without treachery; a
victor without oppression, and a vic
tim without murmuring. He was a
public officer without vices; a private
citizen without reproach; a Christian
without hypocrisy, and a man with.
out a guile. He was a Caesar with
out his ambition; Frederick without
his tyranny: Napoleon without his
selfishness, and Washington without
his reward. He was obedient to au.
thortty as a servant, and royal In
authority as q true king. He was
gentle as a woman in life; modest
and pure as a virgin in thought;
watchful as a Roman vestal In duty
submissive to>law as Socrates, and
grand in battle as Achilles,"

The War Upon the American Saloon

In two-thirds of all the territory
Of the United States the saloon has
been abolished by law. Forty years
ago there were 100000 people liv-
ing in territory where. the sale of
liquor was prohibited. Now there
are 100000 people under prohibi-
tory law. Since that time the popu-
lation of the country has scarcely
doubled, while the population in pro-
hibition territory has increased ten
fold. There are 100000 people
In the fourteen Southern States, IT,
100000 OF whom are under prohibit
tory law in some form. In 1890
there were 100000 under prohi
>bition in the United States; now
there are 100000. In eight
months Statewide prohibition has
cleared the saloon from an area as
great as that of France. In that
area there Is a solid block of terri
tory 500 miles north and south by
100 miles east and west, in which
on the first day of next January a
bird can fly from the Mississippi to
the Atlantic ocean, and from the
boundary of Tennessee to the Gulf
Of Mexico, without looking down
upon legalized saloon. Great Brit

Don't Buy Books Unless You Want
Them.

A library is something more than
a collection of books. An imposing
array of sumptuous- untouched
volumes does not make one. Your
books should express your own in
dividuality, says a writer in The De
lineator. Do not let anyone per-
suade you to buy a book you
know Is not your kind of book.
Do not be lured into buy
ing a handsome library edition OF
some author that you do want, ii
the library edition is heavy and un-
comfortable to hold and your OWL
preference Is a comfortable pocket
edition with flexible covers. And
above all, If you are building up a
home library, to which the whole
family is to have free access, do not
choose bindings of such delicate col
ors or expensive texture as to de-
stroy all the comfort of reading.
