the stock exchange. Union Pacific
touching e0oA, the lowest figures since
July 30 last. Efforts to break the
stock below 200 were made, but sub
stantial support appeared at that level
and covering movement resulted.
Apart from the weakness of Union
Pacific, the market was devoid of any
particular feature except the extreme
heaviness of the general list.
Union Pacific opened three points
down and declined gradually on heavy
liquidation. Dealings In Southern
Pacific were more moderate. with a
decline of over a point soon after the
opening. There were recessions of a
point or more throughout the almost
entire active list ON the exchange.
Union Pacific declined total of
slightly over five points.
Shortly before the close another
drive was directed against Union Pa
cific, which brought that stock below
200. On relatively small sales it fell
to 1e91a, with a further decline in
Southern Pacific and marked weak
ness In United States Steel. The bal.
ance of the list showed further de-
clines ranging from / to 2h points.
Decentralization marked the final
trading, with lowest prices In the &C.

elsewhere. Union Pacific closed at

Talbot tells of an adventure Bishop
Kemper had in the early days of Kan
sas. DR.. Kemper was travelling in
a stagecoach which was held up one
night
The bishop demonstrated with the
road agent, saying:
Surely you would not rob a poor
bishop engaged in the discharge of
his sacred duties?"
You're a bishop, Ell? What
church?" said the man behind the
gun.

THE MAN WHO LIVES IN THE
PANSY

in the middle OF every pansy there
lives a little old man. He must be
very cold little man, too, for he is al
ways wrapped in little yellow blan-
ket, and even then has to have an
extra covering of velvet pansy leaves
to keep him warm. And he sits in
the flower with only his head un-
covered, SO that he can see the world.
But the queerest thing about this
little old man Is that he always keeps
his feet In foot-tub. Such a funny
little tub, too,-so long and narrow
that you wonder how he manages to
get his feet in it. He does, though,
for, when you pull the tub off, there
you will discover his two tiny feet
just as real as can be.

A BOY WON BY KINDNESS.

am fond of recalling the first
soul it was ever given to me to win
to Jesus. I was a lad, barely grown,
a young teacher in the mountains of
Carolina. One morning as we were
ready for prayer in the chapel there
hobbled down the aisle to the front
seat a child sixteen years Of age; a
strange, eager, lonely-looking lad. I
read the Scriptures, and prayed, and
then sent the teachers to their class
es. But my crippled lad stayed. I
supposed that he was a beggar, and
l thought: Surely, he deserves
aims. His condition betokens his
need" So I went to him at recess
and said: "My lad, what do you
want?" and he looked me eagerly in
I the face, and said: 81 want to go to
school. Oh, sir, want to be some
body in the world. I will always be
cripple; the doctors told me that
But" said he, 81 want to be some
body"
He had won me. He told me of
their poverty, and that was taken
care Of I watched that lad for weeks
and weeks. How eager to know who
he was. One day I called him into
my Office and said: "My boy, want
you to tell me more about yourself"
And he told me in a word that some
months before his father had been
killed in the great mill where he
wrought, and the few dollars he had
saved up soon were gone. And then
the people seemed to forget his
mothers poverty and need, and she
said: 1--WE will go to the next county.
where they don't know us. Mother
can do better where we are not
known" He said: 81 want to help
mother and be somebody in the
world, and, therefore, 1 made my ap-
peal to you to come to school,"
It was time after a moment for
the great bell to ring for books. I
laid my hand On the head of the lit
tie fellow and said to him: "Jim, I
am for you, my boy; you are my sert
Of a boy. 1 believe In you thor
oughly, and I want you to know that
l love you, my boy" And when I
said that last word the little pinched
face looked up into mine-almost a
lightning flash-and asked: Teach
er, did you say that you loved me?
Did you say that?" I answered: 81
said that, jim"
And then with a great sob he said ::
II didn't know anybody loved me
but mother and the two little girls.
oh, sir, If you love me, I will be a
man yet, by the help of God" And
when a few Friday nights after I
was leading the boys in their chapel
meeting, as was my custom, I heard
the boys crutches rattle over there
in the corner. I looked. Jim sat in
a chair by himself to keep the boys
off his worn and wasted limb, and
getting up, sobbing and laughing at
the same time, he looked across to
me and said: Teacher, I have
found the Saviour, and that time
you told me that you loved me start
ed me toward Him. Geo. w. Tru-
