A we'll known federal officer, says
Success, was strolling down Philadel-
phia avenue one afternoon when 1e
encountered a very small boy crying
bitterly.
What's the matter with that child?'
demanded the official somewhat per-
emptorily, of the woman who had him
in charge. rs he ill?'
HE amt exactly i'll" responded the
unmoved woman, but between YOU
and me, sir, no stomach amt goin' to

Pioneers. =

(By Barbara Boyd.)
The world always needs pioneers,
and missionary pioneers in the larg-
est sense of the word. For when there
are no more foreign lands and people
to whom light needs to be carried,
there are realms of thought and move
ments for the advancement of peoples
right about us in which pioneers are
needed. $50 it is therefore most fit
ting that among the windows in the
cathedral at Liverpool to notable wo-
men is one to Anna Hinderer and all
missionary pioneers.
Anna Hinderer, whose maiden name
was Annie Martin, was born In 1927 ut
Hempnall, in Norfolk Even as child
ion Missionary work in particular ap-
! Ter desires ran to the things of relig-
pealed to her, and her ambition was to
| be a missionary. She met David
Hinderer, a member of a band of Ger
man evangelists. He had been ordain-
ed by the Bishop of Canterbury for
missionary work in connection with
the Church of England. Their mutual
interest in this field of labor brought
about friendship which soon ripened
into love. They were married in Oc-
tober, 1852 and in six months were
on their way to the west coast Of
Africa.
Anna Hinderer had not mistaken her
vocation. Few do, when to do a GER
tain work is the consuming desire of
their life. She had the magnetism,
the personality, whatever it is called,
that wins hearts She soon became
known as Iva (mother) by the people
among whom she worked, and this
name chung to her all through her
missionary career.
Her work was the hardest kind of
pioneer work, for her husband was
the first white teacher to visit Ibadan
in the Yoruba district To sit COM
fortably at home and comprehend the
problems this woman faced is almost
an impossibility. But face them she
did, cheerfully and successfully, and
wonderful results followed her labors.
After seventeen years work she fell
a prey to the fever of this coast and
passed away at the age of 43.
But to these savage people whose
comprehension of life was so limited
she brought more abundant life. She
opened to them the meaning of life,
, its beauties, its illimitableness. Surely
this is a work worth while
All who do thist work are mission
aries, whether they go to the west
coast of Africa or whether they bring
enlightenment to those Immediately
about them. And enlightment and up
Lift are needed in many other realms
than the purely religious Life is Hv-
open out life for those about us, to
make it more beautiful or happier, IS
worth our endeavors. And if the way
seems beset with difficulties, the life
of Anna Hinderer should be an en-
couragement and an inspiration. The
way was opened to do the work she
wanted to do, and the way does open
usually for those with an earnest pur-
pose And when it was opened. she
used to the full the opportunities that
were hers. And the result was great
and useful success. And all who
earnestly desire, who seize and use
opportunities as they come, will, like
Anna Hinderer, be able to carry ont
their hearts desire.

RAIN on THE ROOF. =
= y y y = y =
by Coates Kinney
When the human shadows hover
Over all the starry spheres,
And the melancholy darkness
Gently weeps in rains tears,
What a bliss TO press the pillow
OF a cottage chamber bed
And to listen TO the patter
Or the soft rain overhead,
Every tinkle on the shingles
Has an echo in the heart;
And a thousand dreamy fancles
Into busy being 5 art.
And a thousand recOllections
Weave their air threads into WOOL,
As I listen 10 the patter
OF the rain upon the roof
Now in memory comes my mother
As she used long years agone
To regard the darling dreamers
Ere she left them till the dawn;
oh, | see her leaning DER me,
AS list to this refrain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.
Then my little seraph sister,
With her wings and waving hair,
4nd the star-eyed cherub brother
A serene angelic pair
Glide around my wakeful pillow,
With their praise or mild reproot
As | listen to the murmur
Of the soft rain on the roof
And another comes to thrill me
With her eyes delicious blue;
And l mind not, musing on her,
That her heart was all untrue;
| remember but TO love her
With a passion kin to pain,
And my hearts quick pulses vibrate
To the patter of the rain.
Art hath naught of tone or cadenc
That can work with such a spell
In the souls mysterious fountains,
Whence the tears OF rapture we'll
AS that melody of nature,
That subsidized. subduing strain
Which is played upon the shingles
By the patter of the rain.

ATLANTA ID LOOK
 INTO TARIFF LIST

Atlanta, May 6.--An investigation of the burlap tariff question will be made by the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce as a result of the recent agitation concerning 1t following the announced determination of the democrats in the national House of Representatives to place 1t on the free list from Canada It is one of the items included in the so-called farmers free list bill." which will be voted on Monday.
 The chambers investigation will be to determine if free burlap would injure cotton growers and spinners by lead ing to its use as bagging and other things now made of cotton.
 The question was brought up here by Benjamin Elsas, large cotton manu- facturer. He and other spinners de- clare the taking of the tariff off burlap would reduce the demand for cotton by 750,000 bales annually and would re- duce the price from 1 to cents a pound.

bly, weak of late In contract to most other things on the list. The reason assigned is that within the next 60 or 90 days there will have to be a showdown with re- gard to Western Pacific, Denver and Rio Grande's extension from Salt Lake City to San Francisco.
 All that is known now is that the parent road is behind the extension to the extent of not less than $70,000, 900. Western Pacific is still technically in the hands of the construction companies and the owners have been able to avoid mak- ing a showing of earnings The street theory is that the exhibit when it Is final ly made will be something awful"
 Western Maryland jumped 5 points in one day on republication of the story printed In these letters several weeks ago about the construction of a link con meeting that line with the Pittsburg and Lake Erie at Connellsvile, thereby giv- ing New York Central another tidewa- ter outlet-at Baltimore.
 According to the official reports, net earnings of the American Smelling com pany fell off 20 per cent during the year 191O This company has large inter- ests in Mexico, a fact which seems to be ignored in Wall street for the time being.

slump which took preferred below 50 and common under 9 and at the same time make huge fortunes. The Wall street theory is that they sold short against their holdings of record. borrowing stock with which to make their market deliv- cries and then finally covering at or near the bottom By following this course their original holdings would have re- mained intact and they could probably show their certificates and make good the technical claim that they had not sold a share of their stock.
 This plan is believed to have been very generally adopted by the important people in the trust who were thus en- abled to eat their cake and have 1t. One block of 100000 shares of common stock WAS exhibited when the price was below 10 in refutation of the charge that it's holder had liquidated the block around top prices. He brought confusion on tho heads of his traducers, and yet is re- norted to have made 40 points or mora on 100000 shares sold against his original allotment.
 The process Is one frequently practiced in Wall street but not generally under stood by the public at large. The Stan lev committee will be doing a good edu- cational stunt if it Eliminates this Wall street feature.
 Railroads having borfrowed something If like s5OO OO0 900 since.the first of the year, it Is argued that they will very soon have to begin spending some of the money or their treasuries will be bursting. It is figured that the equipment companies will be first to feel the beneficial eff fleets of the cash distributions.
 These companies have been under the harrow for two years or more and will welcome a return of prosperity. Rail- roads have been ordering no more cars or engines than were absolutely necessary. Wear and tear has been going on. how ever. without interruption and new equip ment must be had in larger quantities than if orders had been turned in nor mally.
