The man with Il past loved the little

grew he constituted himself its willing

his entire estate Of $4,000 to the wo
man who had grown up from the baby
girl.
DO you remember a companion story
to that of John Tucker George Eliot's
tale Of silas Marner2
Living alone in his stone cottage.
Silas Mariner. weaver, had become a
miser, who concealed bis hoard under
the floor. bringing it out at night to
gloat over 1t.
One day during his absence the mon
ey was stolen, and Mariner was wild
over his loss.
But
A few days after he discovered on
bis hearth a baby girl, whose appeal
touched his heart. Dumbly he minis
tered to it.
As the days went by the child nes-
tied in his desolate heart, taking the
place Of his lost gold.
And she grew up TO be a blessing to
him, and he was changed from miser
to a loving foster father and lover of
his kind.
Says George Eliot in one Of the chap
ters of Silas Marner
'.In old days there were angels who
came aud took men by the hand and
led them away from the city of de
struetion. We see no white winged
angels now. But yet men are led
away from threatening destruction. a
hand Is put into theirs, which leads
forth gently toward a calm and bright

another young man whose raitnent was

And when he saw the harness of the
beast, that it was broken in twain. he
went forthwith into the house of a
merchant and bought strong cords and
bound up the gear of the beast 50 that
1t was whole again.
And when lie had gladdened the
hearts of the woman and children be

Now
Which of the twain, the young man
with the glad garments or he with
plain apparel was the greater in the
kingdom of kindness?
Verify, verify, | say unto you, he that
did the kindness to the woman and the
children and the beast.
For the kingdom of grace is neither
in chariots nor in glad raiment nor in
the lifting of turbans.

You cannot always tell what is in

There was David Ranken of St
Louis, who died the other day.
Fifty years ago Mr.. Ranken went to
hat city at the age of twenty-five from
Boystown. Ireland, and by wise invest
ments in real estate he mfde a big
gortune
You would not have known that Mr.
Ranken was Il rich man by any ex-
terror evidence. He was as common as
an old shoe.
Ranken was a bachelor and maintain
ed a small office Of one room without
stenographer or secretary. He walked
to his Office every day.
His home was and had been for many
years a couple ofs rooms over a gro
gerry store in the wholesale district.
1t was known that Ranken was well
1xed financially, and people sometimes
wondered what he would do with his
money. The old gentleman kept his
own counsels and shrank from public
ity.
Some of his friends thought he was
miser
Young men would sometimes point
him out TO their friends and call him
s'tightwad
And then one morning not long ago
Che people of st. Louis awoke to find
that they had a phllanthropist among
them.
AIr. Ranken had given his entire for
tune of S300000O to the endowment
sof school of mechanic trades FOR the
practical training of poor boys whose
educational opportunities are limited,
but whose industrial usefulness might
save them from poverty or crime.
Mr. Ranken's project was planned
with the same careful ferethought that
distinguished his prosperous business,
and educators say IT will be a great
success.

demands. But do you believe he has
half the fun or knows tithe OF the
pleasure that comes TO the players who
strain and strive and lose or win, get
out of the game all there is in it?
No.
Because down there ih the dust of the
diamond pain of effort is necessary to
the joy of strife, bitterness of hard en-
durance is part and parcel of the sweet
sess of satisfaction.
is it not sos
What, for instance, does your leiSured
chappie who sits on padded seats and
views through his golden fieldglasses
know of the thrill of life and strife and
Fictory that comes to the sweaty jockey
who rides the running horse?
There is your paradox.
We are so made that what we get
without effort or suffering or sacrifice
is scarcely worth the while. On the
other hand, our greatest joy comes with
the battle hardest won, our sweetest
pleasures are wrung from bitterest
pain.
1t is the law of compensation.
Our world is full of people who try
for the box seats or the front row, who
sit on the bleachers instead of going
into the field, and get no joy of life.
The prizes are for winners.
Luxury and a front seat mean that
you lose the best part of life.
Always and everywhere have men
and women tried to get their pleasures
without the pains of winning, the
sweetness of satisfaction without the
bitterness of conflict, in vain.
Get into the game!
Oh, 1t is game worth the candle, my
friend! There are houses to be built,
and bitches to be dug, and lawsuits to
be won, and farms to be made, and ed
itorials to be written, and errors to be
fought, and lives to be redeemed, and
women to be shielded, and children to
be saved, and hardships to be suffered,
and bitterness to be drunk, and
Victories to be won!

lays $1,000 eggs annually"
Very extraordinary, but
"The female toad also lives to be a
