TOWSER'S GOOD LUCK.

IT TIE was a forlorn specimen, was
Towser, and it seemed as though
he did not have a friend any
where, and deep down in his little heart
he was beginning to feel discouraged
and to almost wish that he could end
it all by crawling up some dark alley
way and allowing death to soothe all
his troubles and pains.
But Towser, although now quite a
~disreputable looking and exceedingly
thin dog, came of a pretty good canine
family, and SO he struggled along
against fate, hoping for the best and
picking up a stray meal here n there,
as best he might, while trying to avold
the kicks and cuffs of a cruel world.
On this day Towser was particularly
forlorn and particularly hungry, and as
he stood shivering on the crosswalk 1t
seemed to him as though the limit Of
endurance had been reached. Then he
met Cricket, and, although he never
could understand how it came about, all
his troubles were soon forgotten and he
became the happiest little fox~terrier in
New Jersey.
Now you must understand that
Cricket was not her right name, but
she was such a chatterbox that every
one called her that, and many of her
little playmates living in the neighbour
hood of her home never knew that her
name was Dorothy Roberts at all.
This is how it all happened: Cricket,
in charge Of Nurse Mary, was hurrying
4 down the street, talking as fast as she
could about nothing in particular, when
she almost ran into Towser, who, as
we said, had taken up his position on
the crosswalk the better to tearfully
observe the battered tincan that some
J BAD boy had tied to his tail.
\ The friendship between the girl and
10 fox-terrier was instantaneous. Tow
(er had never before seen such a beauti-
vision of dainty loyeliness in all his
!, and Cricket's eyes filled with tears
sympathy as she saw the pathetic
ure in from of her.
bh, what a cute little doggie!' she

? How would you feel with a tin

urse did not answer this startling
stion, but willingly assisted Cricket
helping her new friend regain his
edoln of action, and, although Tow
was a little skeptical at first, ex-
Fecting the usual kick or stone, he soon
/realized that at last he was actually be-
! ing treated in a most friendly manner,
1 and it made him a very grateful little
indeed
bus it was that TowSer met With his
fortune, for you must know that
nd of sympathy was established be-
n the girl and the terrier that was
ned to last for a lifetime, n it
soon decided that Towser should
npany Cricket and nurse to the
rts home, where Mrs. Roberts vas
uaded to allow him to remain.

districts to do His work. The Sun
day school, Mr.. Chisholm said, should
be in five departments, with depart
ment superintendents-the adult, ele-
mentary primary, home and cradle
departments. Great stress was laid
on the Importance of the county con-
vention in securing statistics and re-
ports from all the district or county
secretaries. The fifth thing in inn
portance was the greater work to be
accomplished, then the county con-
vention, for here may be discovered
leaders for the work. Everyone has
influence, but not every one has pow

The greatest assets men and women
can leave behind them are the men
and women they can train to

were urged to go into the rural us

Hill is great, for there are many pit
falls.
Here, the speaker declared, is where
the Sunday school library comes in
with it's carefully selected books. 1t
is hard times though for the pastor
and the mother. Mr.. Long urged the
boy ito get an education, then he
could get anything or anybody!
to stop school to earn a mere SO
week, or take a job with no chance to
rise, because he has no education. He
said further, he believed in a depart
ment in the public school to find out
what a boy wants to be and help him
to be it-very few boys could find out
for themselves.
Mr.. Long stated he was in favor Of
compulsory education and that the
church and state ought to educate a
boy if his parents cannot. Watch
the boy when he reaches Fools Hill;
there are times, however, when no
one understands the boy; but if he
has been properly brought up, he will
know how to go to One above all
others and be understood.
"A girl Mr.. Long continued, has
her friends in the parlor-the boy
has his under train in the back
yard-he mustn't muss I'D the parlorl
There the boy is getting his educa
ton in the street! Make him keep
good company or none at all! Do not
spoil the child, either, by paying him
for every little trfling thing he does
about the house"
Another point made by the speaker
was about a child who doesn't go to
Sunday school because papa is man
and he doesn't go!" The rarity OF
family prayer was also lamented and
the father was then urged not to pun
ish the child for a wrong motive
Always find the motive back of the
act" Many a boy had left home for
that.
Mr.. Long closed by urging parents
to make the boy free to invite his
friends to his home and table. 1T is
a sad thing for the boy who can't
say of his father There goes what
he is trying to make out of me-"

The Home Department Discussed.
The first discussion was the Home
Department of the Sunday School-a
department, devoted, Gen. Secy. Long
said, to those people who have reason
able excuse for not going to the main
Sunday school. Here, the speaker
paused to make a plea for the railroao
men, he himself having been for years
a railroad man. Many a man or wo-
man could not for age or sickness or
business, attend Sunday school, and
so for these the Home Department is
intended. With minute instructions
how to organize one of these depart
ments, Mr.. Long gave some of the
many splendid reasons for having
them, calling them the sleeping giants
of the church. He warned all teach
ers that these departments should be
conducted by personal visits to the
members, not simply by using two
cent stamp.
Mrs. Andrew McGregor gave the re
port from the First Methodist Church
Home Department, showing a class
roll of 270, with eight visitors, some
of them young girls.

County Sunday School Association
was opened by Rev. r. L. Campbell
with prayer, and a short lesson from
the 9Th chapter of Matthew on obey
ing the laws of the land and of re-
ligion, and urging that a mission
school be organized from each church.
After a musical service the princi-
pal speakers of the convention were
heard. Mr.. w. A. Chisholm, Field
Secretary of the State S. S. Associa-
ton, conducted a lesson on the black
board, showing the Importance and
need of county convention.
This being the Both county conven-
ton he had been in since July 1st, Mr..
Chisholm was perfectly at home on
every phase Of the work and suggest
ed first study of the territory and
its needs; second, the school and its
needs. Saying that Sunday school
work is missionary work and that the
salvation of this world is the training

put methods; saying that methods
were no good, however, unless the
right men and women are gotten to

rural districts is robbing God.
