upon his face as he smothered slight
feeling of shame for what he was about
to do.
Then he called out, "Run for the fence,
Jessie. won't let him hurt YOU"
"Oh, Jim, can't 60 and leave you" E"
Jessie faltered.
"Run," Jim commanded in tone that
she could not refuse TO obey.
She ran as she had never run before,
stumbling over hummocks without
needing them, and sobbing aloud like a
child, from sheer excitement.
"How cruel | have been," she thought.
"And to think he, in spite ofhis fear, was
ready to risk his life for mel Oh, how
ashamed ami"
Jim did not move from the stand he had
taken before the huge, gloom-shrouded
figure, until Jessie had reached the fence
in safety, and had climbed over it.
Then he did curious thing.
He deliberately turned his back upon
his adversary, which, by the way, had
apparently moi moved amuscle since Jes-
sic had first spied il, and ran.
The great form still stood like craven
image where he had left it.
With bound Jim vaulted lightly over
the fence.
"Oh, you are brave" Jessie sobbed
clinging to him. "l'll never forgive my
self for calling you coward. You were
splendid. Oh, Jim, take everything
back-everything. do love you."
Again Jim smothered a feeling akin to
shame, as he stopped and kissed the
sweet, tear wet face, upraised to his.
On his way home, little later, Jim
stopped in at Farmer Gitford'S.
There's an animal in your south pas
ture I'd like to buy" he said with aSSum-
ed carelessneSs.
"Why, there amt any animal there ex-
cept that cow sign-board Potter's men
put up there this afternoon" twelve
year-old Willie Clifford burst out won
deringly.
"You shut up, bub," his father COM
manded sternly.
Then he gave Jim an understanding
wink
"Saw you and your girl going through
there awhile back" he remarked. 81
guess nothing serious would happen il
the thing disappeared right now. Potter
didn't even ask leave for putting it there.
Only don't leave any kindlingS lying
around"
Just as the town clock struck IL lone
drawn-out strokes a Supremely happy
man climbed the fence of Farmer Clifford S
south pasture, and soon, by the light OF
lantern, an ak was singing to the tune OF
"All'S Fair in Love and War;"
But the man would have been consid-
erably surprised could he have heard
blushing faced girl whispering to herself,
in the secluSion OF her own room:
ooh, hope Jim will never find out tha
saw Henry Potter's men putting that
sign-board up. He would never forgive
me for knowingly playing him such trick
But couldn't help it. had to have ar
excuse for accepting him."

Wonderful Praise Accorded
Perunathe Household Remedy

Mrs. Maria Goertz, orienta, Okla
homa, writes:
"My husband, children and myself
have used your medicines, and we al
ways keep them in the house in case of
necessity. I was restored to health by
this medicine, and DR.. Hartman's in
valuable advice and books. People ask
about me from different places, and are
surprised that can do all Of my house
work alone, and that was cured by the
doctor of chronic catarrh. My husband
was cured Of asthma, my daughter of
earache and catarrh of the stomach, and
my son of catarrh Of the throat. When
was sick weighed 100 pounds; now I
weigh 40.
sIhave regained my health again, and
I cannot thank you enough for your
advice. May God give you long life
and bless your work."

Nature.

As fond mother when the day Is Ger.
Leads by the hand her little child to bed.
HaH-willing. hali-reluctant to be led.
And leave his broken playthings on the floor.
Still gazing at them through the open door.
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
BY promises OF others in their stead,
Which though more splendid may not please him
more:
So Nature deals with US. and takes away
Our playthngs. one by one, and by the hand
Leads US so gently that We 60
Scarce knowing il we wish to 90 or stay,
Being too full OF sleep TO understand
How far the unknown transcends what We

PREACHERS PAY is POOREST
Average Salary Of Methodist Minister
S573 Year, or Half That Of Skilled
New York Laborer.

New York.-A comparison Of the
wages paid in various trades and oc'
equations, with the salary Of the aver
age preacher, prepared for the New
York Methodist Episcopal conference,
now in session. shows that the preach
er receives about half as much as the
average skilled laborer.
Outside of 100 Of the largest
Cities" the report says, "the average
salary of the Methodist minister Is
1878 year.
Beside this, 1t might be cited that
100000 locomotive engineers receive
an average OF $1,000 a year. The
average policeman gets $1,000 year,
so that more is paid for those who
watch over the transgressor than is
paid to him who is working for trans
formation of the human SOUL"

EVILS OF AMERICAN JAILS
British Expert Declares United States
Behind Times-commends state
Reformatorles.

London.-The home office publishes
the report of Sir Evelyn John Ruggles-
Brise, chairman Of the English prison
commission, and the British represent
alive at the prison congress held at
Washington last October. In his re-
port on American penal institutions
Sir Evelyn commends state prisons
and reformatories, but condemns the
system in vogue in city and county
jails.
"Promiscuity, unsanitary conditions,
the absence Of supervision, idleness
and corruption-these remain features
Of many places" says the report.
After telling some of the evils he
saw, Sir Evelyn concludes:
Until the abuses of the Jail system
are removed It is impossible for the
United States to have assigned to her
by general consent a place in the van
guard Of progress in the domain of
La Science Penitentiarie.'

Reflections.

Capt. Archibald w. Butt, the presi

answer a telephone call.

up to tell you that shall not be able
to keep the appointment l made with

trifle chilly.
Yes; it's too bad" agreed the
other.
There ensued an ominous pause.
You know" remarked Butt senten.
tiously, "telephoning seems to be q
habit, a bad habit, in Washington.
People are beginning to issue their
invitations by telephone. They phone
on the slightest provocation. They
don't seem to know when not to tele-
phone. They even get you out Of bed
to talk to you on the telephone"

you're bawling me out" said the
friend.
"oh, no." contradicted Butt in a
louder tone. MY remarks are merely
few philosophical reflections induced

Chicago Dental society today made On
appeal for the establishment Of fund
Of $4,000 to establish dental clinics in
the schools and for the school children
Of Chicago.
The report of the committee char

and dangerous. Attention Of city Of

children given dental treatment

unless something is done TO ameliorate
the condition there are ninety-seven
OUT of every 100 school children who
are to be handicapped in their efforts
to make for themselves an honorable

Several wellhnown Chicago philan-
thropists already have pledged sums
ranging from $1,000 to $4,000 toward
the fund.
Continuing, the report says: School
children Of Chicago are suffering seri-
Gus disability through neglect Of their
teeth. In one district in the southern
part Of the city where an examination
