A Grateful Bow.

A gift always opens the door OF an
Eskimo heart, declares Knud Rasmus-
sen in THE People of the Polar
North" and then tells the story of a
little orphan boy whom he ran across
In his travels
had little pocketknife in my
pocket. and 1 presented 1t to him In
order to establish our acquaintance.
1t was assuredly the first time I'm his
life that the boy had ever had such an
experience as to receive a present. I
assured him that really meant 1t.
Then, without a change of expression.
he snatched the knife out Of nv hand
and ran of. 1 did not think that l
should see any more of him and was
just going into our tent when he came
running up with a piece Of walrus
meat, which he pressed into my hand.
Thou gavest, see; give, too said
he, and his face shone with grease and
pride. But from that day forth we
were friends
hajoranguaq had no relatives at all
TO look after him. He was everybody's
drudge and slept in an old ruined
building. where he said he was very
comfortable. He could not have been
more than ten years old ut the outside.
although there was little of the child
about him, but after he came to live
In our tent we noticed that he began
to Sing when alone. and after awhile
he would beat time to his singing on
little tin box, so In spite of life of
neglect he got little joy now and
then.

a LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM.

If Saul OF Tarsus had lived in our
day his sensational conversion on the
road to Damascus would appear In
black headlines.
Scarcely less striking was the con-
version of Pat Grove. bsAdit and bad
man. In Chicago fat recently.
And, like Saul, Pat Grove has be-
come an evangelist.
Groves reclamation was one Of the
rewards that come to the patient city
missionary who goes into the depths
for the fallen.
y Mrs. WoOdmansee visited Groves
home Mt the psychological moment
The bandit was overcome with re-
morse over u recent drunken debauch.
With all the directness of first CEN
fury apostle Mrs. Woodmansee said TO
the man:
God needs you In his service"
The declaration was like the bolt of
light that blinded Saul on the high
way. Had the missionary said. "The
devil needs you In his service" Grove
would have understood. But-God's
service!
woman pointed TO the infant son in
the lap of Groves wife and asked
what about his future.
Whereupon the hunted fugitive broke
down In abject penitencc. His love for
the babe was Groves tender spot.
After several days Groves conversion
followed
His transformation appeared COM
plete. When he told his wife of his
future plans she put her hands I'm his

together"
Grove, who is bright man with an
unusual command OF language. Is lee
turing on The Crime OF Society In
Dealing With Criminals and is also
engaged In evangelistic prison work.

You may be OF those who resent this
lecturing OF society by reformed Grim.
inals.
Or
You may !disbelieve I'm such CONVEX
sions and predict that the mood will
not last.
But it may be Grove has n genuine
message on the treatment of criminals
and the spiritual miracle In Groves
case be as genuine and lasting as that
of Paul.
Anyway, one thing is sure-child-
hood is ever a potent factor in the re-
demption OF men.
No wonder the divine infancy drew
TO bethlehem the wise men of the east
For 1t is true now as OF old that

1t Is true now as OF old that In the

SHE WAS CHILD HUNGRY.

Mrs. Hazel Avery of Chicago stole
little Alice Furlong. aged two and q
half years.
But Mrs. Avery was not Il criminal
She did not steal the child for the
sake Of reward or for any vicious
purpose.
She was simply child hungry.
Mrs. Avery met the little one on the
street. She was n sweet child. but
| dirty and neglected. ~ did not moan

Mrs Avery kept the child for a

And the child stealer went to her

her away. You will break my heart Z"
Mrs. Avery was sent 10 Jail. and the
child was taken TO Its parents.

and say there is nothing bad about

The woman's greatest virtue was
her undoing, which paradox is often
enacted
Motherhood is not entirely atrophied
In the old maid who loves and de-
tends cats. 1t is not abnormal that
such a one should provide In her will
Tor home for cats. 1t Is species of
motherhood.
So there are women who naturally
feel motherly toward every child they
see. And when they chance upon a

ache to take 1t up and coddle It.
Mrs Avery was that sort OF woman.
And so when toddling little Alice

Heart to Heart
Talks.
A MODERN LADY BouNTIFUL.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye.

A little chap with a bundle of news
papers under his arm lay down on the
ventilator just outside Broadway ho-
tel In New York city the other evening
1t was about 10 o'clock, and the
newsboy was tired and chilled and dis
couraged over his poor sales. The
draft OF warm air from the furnace
soon put him to sleep.
There he lay in the full glare of an
arc light. his cap tumbled OF In front
OF him. sound asleep.
People passed and smiled at the tiny,
cuddled figure. Some, kind hearted.
dropped pennies into the cap.
Even the policeman on the beat
whose occupation 1t was to whack
with his club the feet soles OF sleep
ing men and boys, looked at the sleep
ing child and passed on.
The tired little fellow had lain In the
warm draft for an hour.
About IL o'clock q well dressed lady
came out OF the hotel entrance and,
noting the boy, went over to him. Re
moving one glove, she placed her hand
on bis shoulder. Failing to arouse the
child, she shook him few times.
The newsboy awoke with a start;
but, seeing friendly face instead of a
policeman's. he closed his eyes and
murmured, "0h. let me sleepv'
Poor childr said the woman. "Pll
take you where you can sleep In COM
fort"
The boy had dropped back into the
heavy slumber OF childhood and could
scarcely be got to his feet. The wo-
man hailed a taxlcab, placed the child
in It, gave the directions to the chauf-
feur and got In herself.
And that is all.
Where this Lady Bountiful took the
boy is not known. but It Is safe to de-
clare that his dreams were sweet that
night and his future less full of hard
ships.
You have puzzled yourself over the
problem Of vicarious suffering, and SO
have l. You have written a mental
'WhyT after many a picture of I'm
deserved distress and suffering limo
cence.
Lady Bountiful explains part of It.
The homeless newsboy touched her
tender susceptibilities and awoke her
solicitude. But for him her pity had
not been born.
Without distress there could be no
benevolence. Without suffering there
could be no solicitude. Without pain
there could be no succor. Without de-
spair there could be no Saviour.

AS the city grew the demands on

OF generosity never tagged. Some
times he gave away nearly all he made.
In 1905, having. despite his generos-
lily, accumulated small fortune, he
sold his store and started factory for
making caps that he might give en-

Finally the drain on his resources

SUCCESS AUD EaIIIIRE

Both man and animal are In a cease
less Tight for successful existence.
The law of the survival OF the fittes
does its work. With tooth and tailor
the animals selfshly battle for the mas
terry.
Man also lights his fellows, not with
teeth and claws, but with cunning and
foresight and skill. Wit takes the
place OF the club OF the stone age
And IN the arena OF competition men
face one another as bravely as did the
gladiators Of Rome and CorInth. But
There Is this difference:
Among men the fight must be fair
If In his climbing up the man uses foul
means to pull his fellow down, he is
dishonored. If he employs deceit OF
force. he descends to the brute.
Real success today depends on HOW
q man WINS it-and USES II.
III anxious to win a man betrays a
trust or EFFORTS an undue advantage
or grabs more than he earns or need
lessly wounds his rival, that Is not
1.-The square deal"
1t was not always so.
IL Is coming 10 be SO.
And. on the other hand, the man
who wins an honored place among the
successful of today must do so by
helping his fellows. There is only one
way by which one can wiring from the
world Of today Its admiration aud its
gratitude, aud that is by the way of
SERVING the world. Only he who
serves his generation is respected and
honored by his generation.
Is not that just and fine?
The people want to know HOW the
man comes up. If he gets up by low
trickery or by a betrayal of the COM
mon interest. he cannot win the recog-
milton of the people.
But you say
Nothing succeeds like success"
Once. and not so long ago. the adare
was a truism. Once II was urged: :
succeed! Succeed honestly If YOU
IAN, but succeed
But, thank goodness. our ideals have
advanced. The moral awakening of
our time has created higher standards
by which to judge our men.
Even the politicians are beginning to
see. though dimly, that in our day
IGNOBLE SUCCESS IS ONLY sue
CESSFUL FAILURE.
In our day only noble success Is sue
cessful success.

THE WOMEN OF PRAGUE.

III you have ever been In the city OF
Prague you will have seen the women
OF that city doing the rough work of
men.
In Bohemia women mix mortar.
They carry hods up long ladders.
They shovel sand and coal
Our consul to Prague tells about the
employment of these women I'm the
trades and says 1t is unusual"
1t is unusual to American eyes. and
the tourist is apt to pity the lot OF
these hard worked women. II is ar
duous toll and to us unseemly, but
There are American women who de-
serve full as much sympathy.
The women OF Prague get 30 to 40
cents a day. How do keep soul and
and body together? Well. In most in
stances the husbands also labor. and
the children.
What or our sweatshop women who
are paid paltry cents per dozen
Tor making trousers? The women of
Prague work from O q. m. to 9 D. m.
with an hour off Mt noon. Our sweat.
shop slaves toll not only from sun TO
sun, but far into the hours of night.
Besides. the Bohemian women work
In the open afr. They are strong and
iusty, and when you note how easily
they do their tasks and with what
gayety you can see that your pity IL
wasted. They are happy and hopeful
The sweatshop workers live In cheap
ana nlthy tenements. where the afr.
especially in winter, Is foul, the sur
roundings noisome and the sanitary
conditions are bad.
Or compare the women Of Prague
with the wives OF the common labor.
ers OF this country.
Forty cents day Is S2.4S a week
That seems a pitlful sum for the hard
labor or woman for a whole week.
but how many wives of workingmep
get that much money per week for
thelr household labors. the most nerve
racking and trying OF all employ
ments?
Or
Even compare the pay and hours
ana labors of the Bohemian women
with those OF the average busy wife

Many wives do not get IA much an
S2.4S for week OF close confinoment
and nervous strain.
VI course the rough employment of
the Prague women seems to Us cruej
ana unnecessary. but there are women
IN America who do more and receive
less.
