Mrs. Reynolds Had Nearly Two Hun
bred Dollars Slowed Away and
Hidden in Her Room on
Concert Street.
SHE DIED ON SUNDAY
She Told Her Niece Where to
Look For It and It Was
Discovered Beneath
Some Earth.

A short time before she passed
away, Mrs. M. j. Reynolds told her
niece to go to her room and look in
certain spot where she would find
something. The spot was reached and
nearly 5000 in cash was found, the
savings and hoardings Of many years.
Mrs. Reynolds was an aged woman
who lived at the corner of Tenth and
Concert streets, alone, but looked af-
ter by the superintendent of the poor
and sympathetic neighbors. Mrs.
Rix and Mrs. Taber looked after the
old lady and had paid her house rent
and seen that she needed nothing for
several months and it was at their
solicitation that she left her rooms and
went to ST Joseph's hospital for care
and attention She was there but
five days when she died, passing away
Sunday afternoon at about o'clock
Her niece, a Mrs. Nelson, residing
near Canton. Mo- had been sent for
and arrived Saturday evening. Mrs.
Reynolds told her niece that there
would be something found in a certain
spot in her room in the Hilpert tena-
ment house on Concert stre3 and Sun
day afternoon search was made of
the room.
1t was expected that some money
would be found and Mr.. Korschgen,
Mr.. and Mrs Nelson and Mr. and Mrs.
Hilpert. all went together to the room.
The designated spot disclosed moth
ing but an old tin can with earth in 1t
and apparently used for flower which
had died. The earth was spilled from
the can and smaller can was found
concealed in the dirt.

Lecture Yesterday.

The weather was cold and very dis
agreeable on yesterday afternoon, but
this did not hinder the large audience
from attending Miss May Blodgett's
lecture and the hour and topic,
Prayer provided beautiful and
helpful one. The services were held
in the Westminster Presbyterian
church and several hundred ladies
were in attendance.

o'clock lectures are held in the Y. M

Presbyterian church on Sunday after
noon. 3. :
Mrs. w. J. Hubert gave a beautiful
solo just preceding the lesson which
was one Of the most helpful that Miss
Blodgetr has given. ss
BY way of illustration Miss Blodgett
used Abraham's prayer in Genesis 1S
and some of the things she said were
in substance:
Prayer" the Thought.
Is prayer to you a religious duty
which you perform perfunctorily or a
reflex influence which reacts on your
own life 1t is both of these things
but 1t ought to mean much more tc
you than this. Prayer is a power by
which We may call down things from
God
Prayer is a rare privilege and g
wonderful responsibility. 1t is a sin
against God not to pray Our prayers
must put on the character OF God and
not on anything in us.
To pray in ,Ghrist's name means
that His name is signed to our checks
We have not an atom of deposit III
the bank of heaven. Our checks are
worthless unless endorsed by Christ.

Nothing like this has occurred in
late years though, and for one who
has seen the ice break up the sight
is one never to be forgotten. Every
ear back as far as 1882 dating back
from 1900 the river was frozen over
In 1900 the river was closed: in 1901
was closed; in 1902 it was open during
the entire winter. closed again in 1903
and 1904; in 1905 and 1906 closed,
and in the season 1907 and 1908 it was

pie would line along the shores and
watch the ice break up after cold
snap which is very much like scene
on the st. Lawrence and the ice piles
up twenty feet high and there have
been times when it would even pile
over the flooring of the bridge and
the old bridge would shake with the
tremendous force of the millions OF
tons of ice showing down the river
and trying to find clear sailing in the
channel.

Chemical Aid to Medicine
BY THEODORE RICHARDS.

Chemistry may be Of use to medi-
cine in at least three different ways.
One Of these is concerned with find
ing out what things are made of.
This kind of chemistry is called ana
lytical chemistry. Another way in
which chemistry can help medicine
depends upon the ability of the mod
ern chemist, not only to find out
what the things are made of, but also
to discover how the parts are put to-
gether. This branch Of chemistry Is
called structural chemistry. because
it has to do not only with the mate
rails, but also with the way in which
these materials are arranged. Yet
another method of helpfulness comes
from a still more recent development
Of chemistry, commonly called physi-
cal chemistry, which deals with the
phenomena lying on the border line
between physics and chemistry-es-
pecially that part Of the border line
concerning the relation Of energy to
material. The physical chemist must
know, not only what things are made
of and how these elements are put
together, but also what energy is con-
cerned in putting them together, and
what energy is set free when they are
decomposed.-From The Atlantic.

A Pathetic Scene.

II am not Mrs. Nation; I have no
Ratchet; I am not crazy"
These words came from the lips Of
a Lewis woman as she met her hus-
band face to face in a hotel barroom
the other evening, says the Lewis Pr
lot. They were directed to the bar
tender and the loungers, as the for
mer handed the woman's husband a
glass Of whisky.
She continued: "That man has not
done a days work this winter, and I
am worn out trying to support him
and the rest of the family. I want to
know If something cannot be done to
keep him from destroying his own
life and starving his family?"
The woman was thin and pale. Her
lips quivered as she spoke Her.frafl
body could hardly stand the strain of
the unfamiliar environment. AS she
finished the little. girl by her side
burst into tears, the bartender took
back the whisky, the abashed hus-
band stood with bowed head, n by
one loungers left the room. Present.
ly the bartender, gazing at the poor
woman, solemnly vowed that the man
should not drink at his bar again.
1t was a pathetic scene; it was the
last resort of a desperate woman. AS
she left the hotel with her husband
and the little girl there was a lesson
too painful for any pen to picture.

Temperance. Notes.

New York has $4,000 saloons as
against Pennsylvania 1900.
The saloon seeks to control for
corrupt purposes political parties.
The barroom wastes the living OF
dependent Women and children, and
destroys the productive energy Of the
people.
The Japanese have low had half a
century's exposure to Western alco-
holic liquors. but apparently they are
not going to suffer the fate OF their
relatives. the NCrtl American In
dians.
Though Japan now contains a few
native breweries, the people have
never taken to spirits.
Whatever faults are possessed by
the Japanese. few people have ever
seen a drunken Jap. The present
writer has witnessed forty or fifty
men from the Russian royal yacht
lying drunk in the streets Of Copen.
