soul. She knew that other by his
stall-fed appetite, his animal instincts,
his stupidity, his careless dress, his
unwashed hands. 1t was always with
a choke in her throat that she set her
face homeward. But it was, perhaps,
this glimpse of her ideals that set
her a-dreaming again. What if the
future held for her some blessed boon
through which she could retrieve her
selfq Her body tingled with the
thought; her heart was attune with the
hope that some time she would give
to the world such a son-such a son!
That, indeed, were worth living for.
From thenceforth she went about with
light in her eyes that had never be-
fore shone there. She would send
out into the world the living evangel
of her heart, the interpreter Of her
message, to show forth her ideals of
praise and beauty.
Fate for once was kind. The I'M
utterable JOY of mothers love was
hers. And when she held in her arms
baby son, and looked into the little
face which answered smile for smile,
how she dreamed! O how she dream
ed! All the pent-up love of her stunt
ed life she lavished freely on this
tiny atom Of humanity. The love Of
her husband, rugged and kindly as it
was, met her sincere and loyal devo
ton; but this, the hope and solaces
Of her dreams, was her own-bone of
her bone, flesh of her fesh-her son.
She spent her leisure hours with the
child upon her knee, as Hannah, the
mother Of Samuel, might have done,
caressing the rings Of golden hair, the
soft pink palms, listening to his ten
der cooling, and looking with mother
wise fondness into the blue depths Of
his baby eyes. The strong prayer
which was now her ''vital breath .
was that God should call her son to
interpret her soul unto the world;
that he should be messenger of light,
perfect in strength and beauty, glo-
rious as an angel of meey-in love
divine, the realization Of her fondest
hopes.
So she spun her beautiful fancies.
Still she dreamed such wonderful
dreams that there stood at last by
her side being most glorious, beau
tiful as the morning-her dream
child. He was the contamination Of
her hopes, yet her son-the very same
that lay upon her knee-separate only
as she had always separated the ma
terial from the ideal.
I The baby grew. The rings of gold
en- hair heightened to silky curls. The
pink white flesh deepened and
rounded into dimpled curves. The
eyes, blue as the azure heaven, looked
into his mothers face with worship
full love.
And the mother? She worshiped
God as Hannah of old the ''Lord Of
hosts in Shiloh" Toll was no longer
drag and penance. Here was some

Cold and a Candle.

DR.. Moss of the English polar expe-
dition of 1879 and 1876, among other
odd things, tells of the effect of cold
on a wax candle which he burned.
The temperature was 50 degrees below
zero, and the doctor must have been
considerably discouraged when, upon
looking at his candle, he discovered
that the fame had all it could do to
keep warm. 1t was so cold that the
fame could not melt all the wax of the
candle, but was forced to eat its way
down the candle, leaving a sort of
skeleton of the candle standing. There
was heat enough, however, to melt
oddly shaped holes in the thin walls of
wax, and the result was Il beautiful
lacelike cylinder of white, with a
tongue of yellow fame burning inside
of it and sending out into the dark
ness many streaks of light.

Nelson Page in the Old Dominion, and
withstood the forces thrown against
them during the period of ]reconstruc-

self reliance and physical courage,
they possessed also race pride, which
is inestimable in a great popular strug-
gle.
However beaten and broken they
were, the people came out of the war
with their spirit unQuenched and a be-
lief that they were uncOnquerable.
A story used to be told of an old
Confederate soldier who was trudging
home after the war. broken and rag

would do if the Yankees got after him
when he reached home.
"Oh, they amt goin' to trouble me-"

The Franz Halls Museum In Holland.

Old HARLEM calls up the shadow of
Franz Halls. The museum is verify a
sanctuary to his memory. There the
famous corporation pictures hang. One

drinking and merrymaking. Here Halls
is seen at the height of his power. The
splendid color and directness of work
are a revelation. Every figure seems
alive, and one is convinced they were
all in the flesh once. This great mas
ter with one bold stroke of his brush
made these men immortal. At eighty
years he still painted, and his last pic
ture hangs beside his masterpieces.

as long as the place lasts. One mar

Our Wonderful Railroads.

Gail Hamilton was right when she
said that IL there were never to be
any railways on this continent It
would have been an impertinence for
Columbus to have discovered it. Only
by the railways could its magnificent
distances be bridged. Equally correct
was Charles Carroll of C~arrollton, the
last survivor Of the signers of the Dec
laration of Independence, when, on
throwing up the first shovelful Of
earth for the first railway of the Unit
ed States which was intended to carry
passengers and freight, the Baltimore
and Ohio, he exclaimed. II consider
this event second only to that of the
adoption of the Declaration of indie
pendence, if second even to that"
That was In 1898. But England was
far ahead of us in railway building in
the beginning. Even Russia got q bet
ter start than we did. At the outse:
we imported not only our locomotives
and cars, but also the rails. on which
they were run and the men to run
them. However, John Stevens, Peter
Cooper, Evan Thomas. Matthias Bald
win and others changed all this and
in their various fields laid the founda-
lions of n railway system which is to-
day in dimensions and completeness
far ahead of that of any other half a
dozen countries in the world combined.

RISE OF DIALECT.
Source of the Expressions "Stig '!mI"
and "Sick Emil"

Source of the Expressions "Stig '!mI"
and "Sick Emil"
When a boy in some parts Of New
England has occasion to set his dog
upon any one or anything he exclaims,
as a rule: "Stig i'm! Stig i'm" The
New York boy or the boy of the west
generally says: "Sick 'em! Sick 'em"
To the western boy the command "Stig
'im!' sounds absurd; it provokes his
laughter. But his own command is
equally amusing to the New England
boy.
This little difference illustrates the
beginning Of local dialect. Probably
neither boy thinks of the exact mean
ing Of what he says. He is merely
repeating words he has heard others
quent repetition, that the dog will I'M
derStand.
The boy who says "Sick 'em!" is re-
peating a corruption only one degree
removed of the words Seek him."
which are a very old command.
"Stig 'im!" is a corruption one degree
further removed from it's original than
''Sick 'emI" 1t began with Take
him!" which was varied by the use of
$50" before it-"So take him." From
this to So take hint" was an easy
step, and the more easily pronounced
"Stig 'im!" was the next corruption

Ringing the Breakfast Bell.

An American family who had eXpe-
rienced the difficulty of obtaining and
retaining the services of a reliable
kitchen girl while on a visit to Ireland
became acquainted with a promising
young girl and brought her back home
with them.
In a few weeks she was installed in
her new home and made acquainted
with her new duties. Among other
things she was told that it was Gus
tomary when breakfast was ready to
be served to ring the breakfast bell.
Her "all right, num-" came in such a
confident tone that her mistress gave
the matter no further thought.
The following morning at 6 O'Clock
the family were rudely awakened by
the violent ringing of the front door
bell. Thinking that a messenger must
be waiting with some unusual mes
sage, the gentleman of the house did
not stop to dress, but hurried down in
his night robe and opened the door.
The new kitchen girl awaited him, her
face beaming with a beautiful smile
of triumph. Bowling low, she said in
her rich Irish brOgue, breakfast is
ready, sor."-LOs Angeles Times.

"Chance,"

When you talk of chance you are
only confessing ignorance. The very
spin of the coin is governed by the
nerve, muscle or manipulation of the
thumb and brain that spin it. The
only chance about it is your ignorance
Of the forces that lift, twist and catch
the coin. If you could calculate the
physical and mental forces between the
halfpenny's leap and return you might
buy the world. But you can't. And
it's just that bit of blindness that we
have to call chance.-London Chronicle.

SIEGE of Crete.

Crete can claim to have been the
scene of one of the longest sieges on
record. longer than the siege of Troy,
for in the seventeenth century it took
the Turks more than twenty years to
capture its capital city. The island. in
fact, is famous for protracted military
operations, for, though the revolution
of 1921 was speedily successful in the
open country. the fortified towns were
still uncaptured when the powers in
tervened in 1880.

HIS LIFE FOR A HAND.
An English Legend of the Time Of the
Crusaders.

In a little town or village In Glouces-
tershire there is a church which
contains the mortal remains of one of
the old crusaders. In mOldering eff
igy he is depicted on the tomb, while
by his side in cold %eloquence is imaged
the form Of Is wife. 1t will be noticed
by even til, casual observer that the
female imai is bereft of one Of the
hands, and the story runs that the
crusader while fighting in the east
was made a prisoner of war and
brought before Saladin, who. before
executing judgment upon him, asked
him If there was any reason why he
should not be put to death. To this
the knight replied that he was but
young and would leave a newly wed
ded wife, who would bitterly mourn
his loss.
1.-The love of oma Is as q fieeting
BREATH" retorted the sultan. "Your
wife will forget that you have ever
lived; she will love again and marry
another" To this the sad knight
could only reply that on her fidelity
he could rest his soul. well, then"
replied Saladin, 81 will promise on my
oath as a soldier that If this mans
wife will cut off one of her hands and
send it to M ! will set him free to
go to her." By tedious and slow jour-
neyings the message came, and she. In

lover and her lord, caused her hand to

DANGER IN DELAY.
Kidney Diseases Are Too Dangerous
for McCOOk People to Neglect.

The great danger of kidney troubles
is that they get a firm hold before the
sufferer recognizes them. Health is
gradually undermined. Backache,
headache, nervousness, lameness, sore
ness, lumbago, urinary troubles, dropsy,
diabetes and Bright's disease follow in
merciless succession. Don't neglect
your kidneys. Cure the kidneys with
the certain and safe remedy, Doan s
Kidney Pills.
Mrs. NJ. j. Wyatt, Minden, Nebr.,
says: "For eight years | suffered from
acute attacks of backache, brought on
by a disorder of my kidneys. My con-
dition was such at times, that l was
hardly able to stoop and 70 go up and
down stairs was an action attended with
much misery. If / exerted myself, a
dull aching across my back would be-
come so acute that l would be forced
to lie down and rest. The secretions
from my kidneys were also too frequent
in action and annoyed me a great deal.
| became tired and languid, was restless
nights and arose in the morning all
worn out. A few months ago l began
taking Doan's Kidney Pills and found
such prompt and gratifying results that
[ continued their use until completely
cured"

TONY PASTOR AS SANTA.
Veteran Actor Was the Friend Of the
Stage Children.

stage Children.
There are at present engaged In dff-
ferent capacities on the stage and In
the theaters about 400 children to
whom the holidays usually are days
of toll, and many Of these little folks
are breadwinners for younger broth
ers and sisters. 1t was for them that
the late Tony Pastor and his wife,
Mrs. e. l.. Fernandez, and Aunt
Louisa" Eldridge, now dead, inaugu-
rated the Christmas festival which
has become a perennial affair.
The little ones, all less than twelve
years old, provide the stage entertain
ment on these occasions, and there
never is any interference by the au-
thorities. Christmas. 1907, was Tony
Pastors last appearance as the chill
dren's Santa Claus, and this year they
will miss his genial face and kindly at
tentions. Last year he was master of
ceremonies and introduced his tiny
stop liners" At the end of the act he
presented to each of the girls a beau
tifully dressed doll and to the boys
boxes of candy or appropriate toys.
Admission was by invitation only.
and when the programme began the
house was crowded to the doors, the
balcony being given up largely to
poor children of the east side. Some
of the actors were mere babies, but
they went through the business like

them when singing their comic songs
was immensely amusing.
One of the players vas presented as
Baby Esmond, a perfect cherub, who
piped a love ditty and danced with
M foot held in the air. Mr.. Pastor
said she was of this years crop" and
when she had ended the performance
he asked her to tell the audience her
age. Without shrinking from the ques-
ton, as her fellow actresses do, she
lisped, "Ill be four next January"
Another of the same mature years
was Miss Miriam Jackson" If you
please. She came out with q Teddy
bear in her arms, sang a song and did
such clever capering that every wO-
man in the audience wanted to hug
her.
Lillian Tobin, herself no bigger than
vited the audience to join her in the
chorus, which it did with a will. At
the end of the programme Mr.. Pastor
announced that a banquet was await
ing the children in the basement of
Tammany hall.
After the little one had been salts
fed in that respect they were sent up
to the main hall of the building, and
there the really big feature of the
evening took place. On the stage
stood three Christmas trees, bending
over from the weight of pretty things,
while the stage itself was heaped with
toys.
After that there was a second dis
tribution for stage children only in the
committee room of Tammany hall.
Most of the children had written re-
quests for certain articles, and as they
appeared one by one and gave a name
corresponding with that on Mrs. Fer
nandez's list lie present asked for was
delivered. Some of these were OF
costly quality, having been purchased
with money donated to the cause.
Mrs. Fernandez said the children of
the stage nowadays ask for useful
things rather than for playthings.
Since these events were inaugurated
it is estimated that more than $4,000
hes been spent for gifts.-New York
