The Spots Disappeared.

Mrs. Dolan lived in a district which
was not as favorable for the outdoor
household experiments recommended
by the Ladies' Helper as it might have
been. This fact Mrs. Dolan was rapid

SO uncommon as 1t might be she
blamed the estimable periodical for
her difficulties.

NATURAL ACT FOR MOTHER
Women Understand That Not Herolsm
but Simply Love Prompted
Seif-Sacrlfice.

A few days ago. in a somewhat
equalid neighborhood, house caught
fire. The flames shot quickly through
the litter on the floor and the untidy
array Of clothing on the walls. A wom-
an talking with neighbor ran scream
ing to the house and without an in
stant's hesitation sprang through the
smoking doorway into what already
seemed an inferno. A moment later
she staggered out, her hands and
face blackened and blNtered and her
clothing on fire. In her arms she bore
her baby, safe from harm.
The afternoon papers came out with
the story, printed under headlines ex-
tolling this mothers heroism. Men
read it on the street cars, and as their
eyes cleaned with the stirring of the
spirit which leaps to greet noble deeds
they said: That woman dared to do
what most men would be afraid to do"
But the mothers who read it at home
did not think that way. Perhaps the
danger Of the baby, the wrecking Of
the home and the burns the woman
suffered brought moisture to their
eyes, but to them the act was not one
Of heroism-it was simply what any
natural mother, no matter. how timid,
would do under the same circum-
stances.-Cleveland Leader.

place, known to no other person, and
1t was for the purpose of financing

At the time Of reposing the conn

to look for someone who would ad-

although 1t was stipulated by Dowie
and Schrader that 1t be made over

1t happened that the assistant pros

heard Of the proposition. He caused
warrant to issue for the arrest of
the healers, and they were licked in
the county iail.
The day following the arrest of
Dowie and Schrader, and before their
preliminary hearing. bondsman
signed their bonds for $1,000 each,
after they had paid him 5000 in cash.
An hour or two after they were re-
leased from the Jail the surety was
advised that the healers had gone

grabbed shotgun, jumped into an

CompleteIv Pauperlzed.

Albert w. Hebberd, New York's
charity expert, said at recent din
ner:
'The great danger of charity is its
pauperizing effect. This effect must
be avoided. or the recipients will all
become Jack Hanches.
Jack Hanch, on the score of bad
health, never worked, and the pastor
of the Methodist church, a man whose
heart sometimes outran his head, sent
the idler and his family weekly gifts
of food and clothing-supported the
whole crew, in fact.
"a church visitor, after listening to
Jacks complaints one day, said:
Yes, of course, you have had bad
health, we know that; but one thing
at least you ought to be thankful for
and that is our pastors kindness in
sending you all this bread and meat
and jelly and blankets, and so on
Don't you think it is good of him tc
look after you so well?'
"'Good of him?' said Jack, impa
tiently. why, what's he for?'"

Claim Agent

Up in Minnesota Mr.. Olsen had .
COW killed by a railroad train. In
due season the claim agent for the
railroad called:
I'VE understand, of course, that the
deceased was very docile and valu-
able animal" said the claim agent in
his most persuasive claim-agentleman-
ly manner, "and we sympathize with
you and your family in your loss. But,
Mr.. Olsen, you must remember this:
Your COW had no business being upon
our tracks. Those tracks are our pri-
vate property and when she invaded
them she became a trespasser. Tech
ically speaking, you, as her owner,
became a trespasser also. But we
have no desire to carry the issue into
court, and possibly give you trouble
