Gypsy Smith.

With the flaming tongue of apostle,
the fervor of crusader, the sympathy
of woman, Gipsy Smith heralds to rapt
hearers in St. Louis his evangely.
Under the moving appeal of his be-
lief thousands of repenting ones have
been swept to the mercy seat. Mar
velous as are the exhorter's natural
gifts, they alone could not uplift the
hope and sway the mind did not inspi-
ration clothe him as a garment. Grace
has laid upon him her hands and de-
votion crowns him. He bears anew
the message of old and with the voice
Of prophet proclaims salvation through
faith.
He utters apothegms and each might
be the kernel of hundred sermons
Reflect on this one-he was urging
that children should be brought early
to the fold:
A fence on the edge of a precipice is
better than hospital at its base.
He is poet, too, of infinite, fancy.
Speaking from the familiar text from
John upon the second birth, the evan
gelist said he did not know how it was
accomplished. It was enough for him
that it took place; it was one of the
countless things He does that we do
not understand. And then:
How did He reach the lips of seraph,
snatch song, wrap it into a tiny bundle of
golden feathers and give US canary? 1
don't know.
How does He reach to the mud of the
streets, lift therefrom a mist and in a
moment hang it, gorgeous arc in the skies,
the rainbow? 1 don't know. But He
does it.
Metaphors! His lips drip Metaphors:
1t came from the incipiency Of things,
when ages were but tufts of foam on the
mighty sea of time.
Jesus, who flung out planets with as
much ease as you cast dew drops from your
fngertips.
General Booth, who has belted this globe
with golden band of Salvationists.
This manner of man towers. His
m IS age is voiced with the
trumpet call of Peter the Hermit to
wrest the Sepulchre from the infdel
and his invitation is held forth with
that divinity of pity WHICH would res
cue the souls of a world which else
is lost. Within the presence of teach
ers so inspired, we learn how puerile
is mere rhetoric, how futile mere
oratory, and that when the mouth
speaketh as the heart believeth the
subtleties of art are disdained.- st.

to me, mon shreemp, and that is why
1 feel that it should be you that share
my secret-my grave secret"
had known all along that monsieur
had shielded something that was
troubling him, and had vaguely felt
that, sooner or later, / was to hear it.
Now. as we seated ourselves at a
table in the quiet little drinking room
of the monsieur's good friend, Petrolle,
l began to feel, curiously enough, that
1 did not want to hear it.
Monsieur selected long, slender
cigarette from his case, and passed the
case to me- He always did this as a
matter of courtesy, for he knew |
never smoked. In my line you could
not do that-your nerves needed to be
steady. Tonight, as he sat there,
partly shielded from the light by a
great tub-palm, slipping his absinthe,

man that l ever had been allowed to
see before, and the real man was far
more attractive than the masquerader
had been. Later, l was to see more
still-but that is anticipating.

BE USEFUL.

Do not be ashamed of doing the
smallest thing that is helpful to
others. The opportunities for
great usefulness come rarely, but
the smaller things are always at
hand, and he who does them con-
stantly is of great usefulness, and
sometimes when the great oppor-
tunity comes it is only the one
who has trained himself in the
little things that have come before
who is master of the situation.
Be kind, be faithful, be true to all
who have any claim upon you.
Do not miss chance to do a favor
to those who need your help, and
you cannot fail to become useful
men and women, and of such the
world has great need.

of their attitude toward Japan, war in

time enough for them to resent sug-

SOMETIMES.

Sometimes the hasty word has

Sometimes the husband finds no
warm kiss Of affection and sweet,
CHEEKY words of welcome at the
door and fireside, when at night
fall he comes home weary and
heart-heavy from toll which may
have yielded small return. 0, my
friends, how bright our homes
ought to bel Kind words, loving
deeds and pure affection should
rule in them Are the little ones
made to feel that home is the
sweetest, cheeriest, best and
brightest spot this side of glory?

 GAN NOW STOP OVER
Important Ruling of the st. Lonis As. sociAtion of General Passenger and Ticket Agents Which Will Meet With Approval Here.

] X special from St. Louis, which will be Of interest to Pine Dlufilans, says: 1 At special meeting of the St. Louis Association of General Passenger and Ticket Agents held yesterday import ant action was taken in regard to stop " privileges on passenger bus mess routed via St. Louis. For some time past the business organizations of this city have strongly advocated stop over privileges on tickets sold in any direction reading via the St. Louis gateway. It has been especially desired that tickets sold In the South west for all points East reading via St. Louis should be stamped with a i stop over privilege of not less than ten days here. On tourist or round "trip tickets at certain seasons of the year 1t has been the custom of the railroads to grant the stop over, the return portion Of the ticket being deposited with the joint validating agent to prevent manipulation by scalpers. The commercial interests however, have always urged that the /. privilege should be applied to all first class tickets on regular one-way trips or round tripN all the year round. i All the leading cities of the South, i Southeast and middle West have en- joyed the stopover privilege and 1t has been extended to many Eastern cities. The chief objection on the part of the railroads in the past to the granting of the stop over has been the abuse of the privilege by the tickets falling into the hands of brokers. Now, how ever, the scalping business has been wellnigh broken up all over the coun- try and safeguards are thrown around the tickets by requiring de- pcsit of the same with the joint agent at the point of stop over.
 1 At the conference yesterday the Mis- souri Pacific-Iron Mountain and the Wabash announced that as soon as le- gal notice could be given those lines would grant the stop over privilege on all passenger business, first class, routed via St. Louis. The tickets will be available for a stop of ten days here, provided that the ticket on ar- rival of the passenger in St. Louis 's deposited with the joint agent at Union station.
 The action taken by the Gould lines, it is presumed, will be followed by all other lines as soon as authority is given the representatives here The business organizations will be duly
 notified of the concession, which commercial interests.
