Sick With Typhoid.

We regret to learn that Miss Isa-
bel, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. R. f.
Wannamaker, Amelia street, is quite
sick with typhoid fever. Only a
year ago Miss Alma, the eldest
daughter, had severe case of ty-
phoid, which makes the present case
very hard on the family. 1t is
thought that both cases were con-
tracted in Columbia.

Doubly Bcreaved.

Mr.. and Mrs Max Stokes has been
called on to pass through deep wa
tcrs of sorrow. On last Sunday they
lost a bright little boy of four years
and a little girl of about six weeks
old. Two in one day is hard to bear,
but God will heal their broken
hearts if they will only trust Him.
The two little ones were laid to rest
in the same casket. The doubly be-
reaved family have the sympathy of
many friends.

The YELLOW Streak in Us
BY CYNTHIA GREY.

There is yellow streak in
human nature that causes us to
take pleasure in hearing or read
ing something to fellow crea-
lures disadvantage.
1t is continually cropping out.
No matter how good our inten-
tions, how honest our desire to
be charitable and broad-minded,
the pleasant shock of learning
that another person has made mis-
takes, has something to regret,
tickles our sensation-loving souls.
On second thought we may de-
plore this fact and earnestly try
to dull the sensation of pleasure,
but the first thrill Is always well
come.
Notice how a distorted story
about a woman's early life will
permeate a community, be passed
from lip to lip and be accepted as
gospel truth on mere rumor!
And it does not necessarily

Wherever man or woman
rises above the crowd, there you

or actress has to face this thing.
She never knows one-third of the
mean, spiteful things said about
her, but the little she does hear
makes her willing to exchange her
fame for the most humdrum OBJ
scurity-and peace.
The other day in a room full OF
people a woman said: SIS that
the Mrs. Brown who has been
married so many times?" Mrs
Brown has been married TWICE
Her first marriage was a failure
and she secured divorce on
grounds that even a high church
man couldn't dispute, and she is
perfectly happy in her second
marriage. But all the women
present who did not know the
truth went away firm in the faith
that Mrs. Brown Is feminine

For the thousand who are al
ways ready to claim that they
gave some well-known person
their first boost up the ladder OF
fame, there are millions who ped

lives of people they do not know
except by hearsay, and probably
have never seen. Suppose this
woman was a waitress in a cheap
restaurant before, she became a
star, or that one rose from cash
girl to society leader. 1t should
be a matter of congratulation that
they went UP instead of DOWN.
Depend upon it, there is some
thing fine and strong and true In

Way down in the Neyer-Never
land, where the fairies live. you
will find the queerest kind OF
flowers. There are whole gardens
full of them, and they are called
the "Iwildo" flowers. Every time
any of the children on earth say
81 will do it," a new plant grows
up, but never blooms till the chill
dren really do what they say they
will.
Now supposing your mamma
were to ask you to pick up your
blocks and you say, 81 will do it,
mamma" but you forget all about
the blocks and go out to play.
Why, there has been flower
growing for you in fairyland, and
| it has bud on it which will not
bloom until you go back and pick
up all your blocks.
For all the kind and good
deeds that children do, beautiful
pink, red and white flowers with
sweet odors grow in fairyland.
But when children do not keep
their promises the plants fade and
die. Then the fairies feel very
badly. But when the sweet flow
ers grow and bloom they always
smile and sing and gather the
flowers with joy in their hearts.
At least that's what the fairies tell
me.
