Business and the Cross.

The law of the cross, by the sweet
and strong compulsion of love, will
compel captains Of industry to con-
duct business, not simply for gain,
but for the good Of those who practi-
cally are their partners in the labor
of life. The talent for organization
and for the conduct of a great bust
ness will be regarded as a talent to
be used in human service quite as
much as the talent for teaching or for
the practice of medicine is now re-
garded.
Hitherto in the sphere of business
the talent necessary for eminent sue
cess therein has been regarded as en-
tirely free to be used wholly for the
gain of it's possessor; henceforth the
talent for business leadership must
be regarded as a natural qualification
for serving other men by combining
and directing them to do what they
could not do for themselves. And the
man inspired by the heart of love and
dominated by the law of the cross,
will take as much interest in his bust
ness and in its success when he feels
himself to be the leader of men for
their good as ever the man who
worked wholly for himself has done.

Not Pierre Lott.

Those who aspire to literary fame
or who are in anywise pulled up with
pride and vainglory because it has
come to them may be surprised to
find it is not a thing which is envied
and coveted by all men, for in a Ger
tain French journal there appeared
recently the following announcement
inserted by a rat-trap maker OF
Lyons: ITO All Whom 1t May Con-
Germ: M. Pierre Lott, Of Lyons, sole
inventor OF the automatic rat trap,
begs to state that he is not the same
person and that he has nothing in
common with one Pierre Lott, a wri-
ter of romances." We should have
liked to have seen the face Of lone
Pierre Lott" when he read this notice,
and hope that any tendency which he
may have shown toward sinful pride
may since it appeared have been
chastened to a becoming humility

Noble Response of Illinois.

Abraham Lincoln lived to see the

those eloquent words of her most
lllustrious son.

J. D. Quackenbos, of New York City,
before the American Society for the
Study. of Alcohol and Other Drug
Narcotics. They do not wish to be
cured in most instances, he asserted,

cess too frequently by the added
sense of pleasure they feel in the

HandShalSing.

In the barbarous days of old, when
every man had to watch carefully
over his own safety, when two per-
sons met they offered each to the
other the right hand, the hand that
Yields the club, sword, knife or other
weapon of war. Each did this to
show that the hand was empty, and
that, therefore, no trouble needed to
be feared. The handshake was the
treaty of peace-in a word, the way
they had Of showing each other that
they meant to be friendly.-The

REST FROM THE BURDEN

For Thou hast been a strength to ths
poor, a strength to the needy in his dis
tress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow
from the heat.-1sa. 25:4.
God sends sometimes a stiffness in our
life
The bivouac, the sleep,
When on the silent battlefield the strife
Is hushed in slumber deep.
When wearied hearts exhausted sink TT
rest,
Remembering not the struggle nor ths
quest.
We know such hours, when the dim, dewy
Bids days hot turmoil cease;
When star by star steals noiselessly in
With silent smiles of peace;
When we lay down our load, and half
forget,
The morrow comes and we must bear it
yet.
We know such houru, when after days of
And nights when sleep was not,
God gives us ease, and peace and calm
again,
Till, all the past forgot,
We say, in rest and thankfulness most
deep,
Fen so fife giveth His beloved sleep"
When some strong chain that bound us,
by Gods strength
Is loosed or torn apart;
Or when, beloved and longed for, come at
length,
Some friend makes clad our heart;
We know the calm that follows ON such
bliss,
That looks no farther, satisfied with this.
God does not always loose the chain, nor
The loved ones back to US;
Sometimes mid strife and tumult we must
live,
Learning His silence thus:
There is a rest for those who bear His will,
A peacefulness, than freedom sweeter still.
He giveth fest, more perfect, pure and
While we His burden bear;
It springeth not from parted pain, but
through
The accepted blessing there;
The lesson pondered Ger with fearful eyes,
The faith that sees in all a meaning wise.
Deep in the heart of pain Gods hand hath
A hidden rest and bliss;
Take as His gift the pain, the gift brings
yet
A truer happiness;
Gods voice speaks, through it all, the high
behest
That bids His people enter into rest.

Say the Right Thing at the Right
Time.

When you come to the choice of a
profession or trade, how important it
Is for you to say the right word and
to do the right thing. If you make a
mistake it Is often very difficult to
right it. And the issues may be most
serious. More serious still Is it when
you come to make your choice of a
life partner.
If you are a parent, there is a
message to be delivered to children
At every stage as long as they are
with you. If you miss giving them
what they need up to the age of ten,
you can never give it later on. Many
parents give the devil too many years
start, and they never quite overtake
dis work.
Never was better counsel given
than this: LAS We go, preach" don't
pass a station in the hope Of coming
back to it. Redeem the time" or,
Is Luther translates, BUY up the OPP
portunity;" an opportunity lost never
precisely recur This line of reflec-
ton has to most of us its gloomy
side. We look back, and, oh, how
many plumbers we have made! Well,
60 back we cannot; we cannot be
now as if those mistakes had not
! been made. What then? Shall we
despair? No; we must rise to a
manly and brave life, to make the
best of the present, and turn the fu-
ture to good account. If now we
have learned a message, let us de-
liver it with fidelity.
And surely we have not come so
far without learning something, and
something of Importance. We have
failed much; but from failures, too,
If we take them rightly, we may learn
much-much of man and life and
God. Upon what we have learned,
let US live; turn it into practical wis
dom, and give the good of it to those
about us.-T. Rhondda Williams, in
the Divine Artist.

Australian Factories and Railroads.

From a report by Consul John F.
Jewell, of Melbourne, for 1907 it is
noted that during that year there
were 4,53O factories in operation In
the Australian State of Victoria, en-
ploying 90,OO3 persons, consisting or
5e.691 males and 1922 females. The
products of these factories are estt'
mated at a value of S54,557,437. While
there was no extension in mileage,
the railways OF Victoria had a pros
porous year, having increased thu
number of passengers carried by S.
7O6, 433. as compared with the previ-
Gus year, and the carriage of freight
by 2S9,775 tons.

A Supplication.

Give me, o Lord, a mild. a peace

that, remembering my own infrmi-
ties, l may bear with those of 9TH

The Wrong Face in the Rogue's
Gallery.
Prohibition is coming. Already
half the territory of the United States
is dry, and the gains in recent years
have been rapid. And yet we must
admit that certain parts Of our coun-
try (notably the large cities) will
have saloons for many years to come.
AS long as these saloons remain, the
questions of saloon regulation and
responsibility will be important.
To an outsider it would seem as #
the keeper of the saloon had no ~
sponsibilities except paying his
license, closing his front door at /
O'Clock and (this in a whisper) keep
ing the police captain sweetened.
Tcey seem to be above the law, or
perhaps, below the law.
For instance, suppose you own a
little fox terrier whose canine soul is
stirred by the sight Of the moon to
such a pitch that he just cannot re-
strain his voice. YOU. find that you
are maintaining a nuisance and that
you and your pocketbook are respons-
ible. But you can hear the strident
piano humping and the maudlin
shouts from the saloon four blocks
away long after midnight. Is this a
nuisance? 1t is still going on at any
rate.
Some day a neighbours child tor
ments your terrier until it nips him
with his teeth. Then a fat police
man calls upon you to shoot the dog
and the tongue-twisted lawyers serve
notice that you are guilty of. trespass,
although you had always supposed
that trespass was invading someone,
else's land. And yet the same night
the saloonkeeper may let loose a wild
ly drunken maniac with a revolver to
make night hideous and, incidentally,
to put a bullet through the shoulder
of a passerby. Is the saloonkeeper
responsible? Why, he isn't even men,
toned in the case.
Perhaps you left a small wooden
Dox out in front of your store. Some
one stumbled over it and you were
responsible for neglect. But do you
know what kind Of pictures they
have in saloons, what sort of games
they play in the back rooms, what
kind of. places they keep above them?
If stumbling blocks are actionable,
why not these?
You have read Of drunken assaults:
drunken fights and drunken murders.
Your morning paper tells you of the
trials of the drunkards. What do
you hear of the responsibilities of the
drunkard maker?-Home Herald.

George LaXon Again.

George LaXon had never left Eng
land; his name was on the passenger
list, as also that of the child, but
neither had gone. All this Dorothy
had CLEANED from the wretched man
who had come down from London,
thinking to get hush money from the
countess by simply breathing George
Laxon's name.
He had heard LaXon, in a drunken
bout, speak of her in a jeering, slight
ing manner, just enough to know that
there was some secret, but not gain
ing even a hint Of. what the secret
was.
Dorothy had soon discovered this,
and she did not spare him; on the
other hand, she rejoiced, if such a
term can be used, to think that he
had given her a hint as to LaXon's
movement, and put her on her guard.
in the drawing room, there was a
great commotion in the hall, and
Dorothy, asking sharply what it
meant, was told that Virginie had
caught a man stealing into Lord Der
riman's writing room, which opened
on to the side colonnade, and had
captured him as a burglar. With a
sharp exclamation, Dorothy put down
her cup Of coffee and swept to the
door.
"Gervais!" she cried, standing be-
fore the crowd of excited domestics
and the gentlemen, who were all talk
ing at once round the unfortunate
man, held stoutly by two footmen.
What does this mean"
"Virginie says this man was found
in my writing ROOM" Gervais said,
looking troubled.
The culprit threw a glance at Dor
othy. She understood it.
He did not know how much, but
he could make things horribly un-
pleasant for her. If George Laxon's
name were mentioned and any weight
thrown upon it, she shivered to think
Of the questions Gervais would ask.
Absurd! NONSENSE" she declared,
sharply. "Virginie is much too clever.
I know this man. He is not a thief! :"
The earl's face cleared like magic:
he hated the thought of pain and
harm to any man.
let him go, Stevens" he said to
one of the footmen. Her ladyship
has spared US much unpleasantness.
Come here, my a don't be afraid.
With that he held out a five-pound
note, offering it to the grimy creature
whom Dorothy knew in her heart had
fully intended robbing him of all he
could conveniently lay hands on.
With a dazzling smile Dorothy
swept W to the man, who stood
blinking and gazing at her sparkling
diamonds with sullen and ~covetous
admiration. When she was close to
him he snivered at her angry glance,
BE off," she whispered in a faint
voice; "be off, at once. The next time
you will not be spared from prison
so easily. Go! Do you hear me?'
Then, lifting her voice, she said, sc
that the others might hear: Yes
sleep at the village tonight and the,
go home. l shall not forget all you
have told me-"
