Before the appointment of well-trained
deaconesses at the Union Station, Mr.
Massie has often been a savior TO un-
sophisticated young women. who. while
stopping over even one train. would have
become entangled 10 their downfall.
One young girl was lured from a mill
town by an apparently responsible woman
with promise of better wages. which the
girl much needed for the support of her
family The woman had been sent out
from a disreputable house in search OF
a pretty face When. on arriving in
Washington, the innocent girl discovered

which the woman had loaned her and
which she was Obliged TO pawn in order
TO meet her travelling expenses home.
Being in consequence arrested as thief.
she was returned TO Washington and
found by Mr. Massie at the station house
before court opened. where he learned her
true story.
Starts Life Anew.
The whole case. the innocence OF the
girl. her distress, and the publicity given
to the affair so worked upon the woman
who had preferred tie charge against
the girl that she was reclaimed, actually
forsaking her evil life and starting anew
in a respectable business far from her
old associations, while the girl was saved
to society.
A visit to Mr. Massie from a multimiI-
lionaire. phiIanthropic settlement work
er, of New York, resulted from casual
remark made to the New Yorker by one
OF the poor boys there in whom he was
interested: Say II you'se had guy like
Mr.. Massie woikin' fer you'se here we

man.

enough? Why, he's de prisoners friend

The gentleman lunched and dined with
Mr. MasSie, and saw him surrounded at
his own board by his usual circle OF
ragged boys On leaving, he said: mo

The size ofhe Sea.

From lid Bits.
An officer of a liner once remarked TO
the writer that most men seemed to be as
ignorant about the size OF the sea as they
are OF the distance between the heavenly
planets. Here are few facts: The Pa
cihc covers 100000 miles, the Atlantic
3O00O,OOO. and the Indian ocean. Arctic
and Antarctic 100000. To stow away
the contents Of the Pacific il would be
necessary to ill tank one mile long,
one mile wide. and one mile deep every
day for 40 years. Put in figures, the Pa
cife holds in weight 946 900 600. 600 OO0. coo. =
900 tons. The Atlantic averages a depth
of not quite three miles It's waters weigh
81. 900 900. 600, 600 coo tons. and tank to
contain it would have each of It's sides
450 miles long. The figures OF the other
oceans are in the same startling proper
tipns. II would take all the sea water in
the world 2.000.0oO years to flow over Nj

While the foregoing figures would in
dictate the handling of a large sum OF
money. il must be noted that no such
amount has ever beeH in our possession.
1t has been by the repeated use of small
amounts that the aggregate has been
reached.
Cost Is Not Large.
Excluding all other assistance rendered
and work done, there is the astonishing
fact that for less than s216 a person
2.sS people have been taken from the
most demoralizing surroundings and. in
stead OF being left stranded among
strangers, restored to their homes

public through the work Of the depart

The stories Of persons who have been
helped speak more effeetually than any
thing that can be said about them. The
following are few of the many;
An old soldier, who was addicted TO
drink. was found one morning b. Mr.
Massie in the station house. thinking
over his past career with shame and dis
cOuraSenent. Wnen approached by Mr..
Massie I'm a friendly way. he confessed
that no one had cared what became OF
him for years. Mr.. Massie asked him If
he believed In God or had ever prayed
to Him. He responded that he had said
the Lords Prayer. to which Mr. Massie
replied:
i say Our Father, too. so we are
brothers. What is the matter with you?
Shakew
Thus he touched the right chord, and
eventually the soldier was entirely re-
claimed and joined the Prisoners Aid
Society. to which he paid his annual dues
until the day of his death.
A young man was arrested as a va
grant who had come 10 Washington to
find employment but got into bad COM
pany and WAS sent to the Workhouse,
where Mr.. Massie found him and sent
him back to his home. having first pro-
vided him with decent clothing, including
an overcoat, as the cold was extreme.
Then. through trustworthy people. EN-
ployment was at once found for him. and
IN one months time the overcoat was
returned, accompanied by a note, saying
that he was now able to buy one for
