taken among the telegraphers on the
railroad on the question of strike The
teleeraphers claim that sufficiently large
vote was polled to authorize strike No

out the mon by the telegraphers' OFF,
Gals pending the result of the media
ton. The operators demand an increase
of wages and a number OF changes in the

pany officials have been endeavoring to
reach an agreement and have held nu-
merous conferences without result.

senting the conductors and trainmen,

an answer today from General Manager
Horace Baker of the Cincinnati New
Orleans and Texas Pacific company. The
answer states that the road is willing to
grant the men an increase in wages of AZ
per cent, but that 1t cannot better the
working conditions. 1t is stated by those
high in authority among the committee
that this proposition will also be refused
and that action similar to that taken re-

PRAYER OF THE RIGHTEOUS.

Many years since, some young men
belonging to the senior class in GER
tain college, resolved to remember in
their prayers a young and thoughtless
classmate. In a few months the ses-
sion closed, and the class was scat
tered. But the soul of the goddess
young man was felt as a burden on
the heart of one of his pious class
mates. and though alone, he continued
his applications Then, in his far
distant home, he found one like-mind-
ed with himself, and he persuaded the
stranger to joint him in his petition
for his former companion.
"A few years passed away, and the
two classmates met again upon their
native soil. The careless youth was
still careless, and was then engaged in
the study of law in a neighboring city.
The other, it was manifest, had come
back to his early home to die. An
incurable disease was wearing out his
life. Still, his desire for his friends

MIGHTY RULERS OF EARTH.

Elizabeth, queen of England had
many claims to great distinction. Her
very name was Tudor, a contradiction,
it seems, of Theodore, "the gift of
God an epithet of happy omen asso-
ciated with the mighty rulers of the
earth, among whom may be mention
ed the African king, Theodore of Abb
yssinia. This monarch is described
in the Encyclopaedia Britannica as a
man of education and intelligence,
superior to those among whom he
lived, with natural talents for gov
erning and gaining the esteem of
others. He had a noble bearing, and
form capable of enduring any
amount of fatigue, and he was the
best shot and the best horseman in
Abyssinia. He was generous to ex-
cess and free from cupidity, but sub
ject to violent bursts of anger"
Elizabeth also possessed many of
thes royal traits of character. al
though Coke said her name was not
really Tudor, but rather owen or
Meredith, though God would not suf-
fer her to have sir name because
by his grace and goodness she should
deserve for her imperial virtues to
be called Elizabeth the great" "She
was" said Coke, "the phoenix of her
sex; she was Angliae Amor" familiar
with French, Italian and Spanish and
learned in Latin and Greek; and ''as

as life waned. 1t mingled in all his
thoughts; every person whom he saw,
whom he knew as devout person, he
besought, saying, ooh, pray for that
young mani and to the last hour he
continued his own intercessions.
His early companion, for whom his
heart had so yearned, stood at his
grave, and saw it close upon him with
no other emotion than that of regret
for friend of his youthful days. The
prayer of the dead was yet unans-
wered. But ere the grass grew over
that grave the grace of God was
poured out upon a mission given in
the church in which they in their boy
hood had worshipped, and one of the
first penitents was the young man SO
long and so earnestly prayed for. He
then devoted himself to God in the
ministry of His Son. He it was who
first recorded these facts, as another
illustration of the truth that the

cannot hear, that He is mot slack

WHAT is A LADYo

A little while ago an English paper
offered prize for the best definition
of lady. This is the answer that
took the prize:
TO be lady means, rightly, to be
a gentlewoman who shows by her
every word and action a sweet and
gentle dignity, with a gracious charm
Of manner; a woman whose heart is
pure and true, who is tender toward
all suffering, who sympathizes with
those in trouble and is ever ready to
give that which costs her some effort
and self-denial. A lady thinks no
work derogatory, and no one is
deemed too low to receive courtesy
and kindness. She is pure and good in
every detail of life, a true friend, and
a 'ministering angel in sorrow and in
sickness

ers.
ST had made the charge that he
didn't mix as much as he should. He
replied that he did all his mixing with
a two-year-old married couple and a
pretty miss of years L asked him
how that could be.
THE married couple have no chill
dren. They are not much on mixing,
themselves. but every fourth Sunday
in the month they give dinner to the
7-year-old miss, the only child of
friends in the same part of town. To
this dinner the bachelor is invited.
When the repast is finished the young
miss is entertained with music and
readings which the child understands.
Then the bachelor takes the little one
to her home. The bachelors descrip-
ton of the child's beauty and dress,
and his reports of the clever things
she says, and what is said to amuse
the miss, would make a pretty Christ
mas book if it were written up by any
body who knew how to make word

after he had enjoyed one of these din
ners he had no desire to mingle in
what is called modern society. If he

HUMAN RIDDLE.

One of the strangest problems of
our inexplicable nature is the choice
of evil and the rejection of good, even
after long experience has proved that
misery and evil are synonymous. Vir-
tue, it is true, does not always exempt
from sorrow, but crime must ever be
writchedness. Hope loses its balm,
and fear acquires a keener sting. The
present is anxiety, the past remorse,
the future is despair, and yet the way
ward man drinks the bitter cup when
the sweet is offered to him and
launched his boat upon an angry sea,
where storms attend his course and
shipwreck terminates his voyage,
rather than glide down the smooth
current of a tranquil stream where
peace pilots him on the way and hap
piness waits him on the shore.-Ex-

A QUAINT OLD CHURCH.

High on the bank of the st. Law
renee at Montreal stands a quaint lit
tie old church that dates back to 1857
1t is known as Notre Dame de Bon
secours From the land side it is very
unpretentious, but on the river side
f.r aloft stands a great golden image
of Our Lady of Good Succor, and there
is scarce a pilot or a boatman on the
river who passes it without crossing
himself One who steps into its dimly
lighted interior will be struck by the
rows of miniature shops swung from
the overhead arches, each bearing al
ways a burning taper One who cares
to make inquiry will hear quaint
story.
In the beginning the church was a
place where all Catholics went to
pray, hear mass and give aims. There
were always river men and ships men
among the pious visitors Then back
in the days of the struggles of the
Pope to retain his temporal power, a
company of French Canadian Zouaves
went from Montreal to offer their SER
vices to the Church. In midsea their
ship was overtaken by a great storm
and only by the mereSt good chance
did they reach Italy in safety. On
their return to Canada they had made
small ship of silver, which was
given as thank offering to the
church on the river bank, and hung
in the sanctuary, where a light burns
perpetually in remembrance of the
success of Our Lady in time of need.
Since then various pilots and others
who sail on the river have presented
similar ships from time to time. until
now a double row swings above the
worshippers' heads. And the church
has come to be known by the name
that every sailor loves.

Makes up the commonplace day.

And God, who studies each separate

Out of commonplace lives makes His

WoMEN's CONSCIENTIOUS WORK.

Work for women and girls is no
humiliation; on the contrary, it is
greatly to a woman or girls credit
to maintain herself by her own eX-
ertions. Unbridled passions and vice
alone degrade woman. She who
serves her fellow being because she
recognizes it to be the will of God,
really serves God, and, if she does
so in the state of grace, merits eter-
nal reward.
She who is the servant Of another
woman is more to be respected than
one who is the slave of q passion.
Work tends to make woman healthy,
virtuous and cheerful. If a woman
does not apply herself to doing some
thing good she will turn to evil Vice
and idleness always go hand in hand.
Those, however, who conscientiously
accomplish the duties of their calling
are always conscientious in all things.
