GOOD DEEDS SHINE BRIGHTLY
Timely Helping Hand Taps FOunts
of ThanIkfuIness and Remin-
iscence.

On one occasion the faculty of Bow
doin college was obliged to discipline
young Frye by sending him to spend a
week with the Rev. Elijah Kellogg, a
loveable man. Young Frye became his de-
voted friend. Years afterward when Mr..
Frye was a member of the United States
senate and Kellogg was an old man, the
senator, who had not heard from Kellogg
for at least ten years, got to thinking
Of him and thought he must be poor, as
his only source of income was his little
farm and occasional fees for preaching
on Sunday. Kellogg, was so much on
the senator's mind for a few days that
he saw Chief Justice Fuller and several
other Bowdoin men who were admirers
or Kellogg and they made up a purse OF
$3.50. sent It 10 President Hyde at Bow
'doin college with instructions to see that
KeIlogg got il.
Upon receiving the money Kellogg
wrote to Senator Frye, telling him that
no gift ever came at a more opportune
moment; that he had a mortgage on his
farm; that it was due, and that he was
behind on his interest; and had It not
been for that money he would have lost
his farm; and when in such straits to re-
ceive more money than he had ever seen
at any one time was indeed, he felt sure
tn dirct act of God.
Senator Frye replied to Kellogg, telling
him that his comment about the gift be-
Ing an act of God reminded him of old
Martha Stevens very poor but devout
colored woman. who lived in hut near
the campus when he was in college One
night the boys were near her cottage
and heard her praying. climbed up close
to the chimney, and Martha prayed
vigorously 20 Lord, send me some flour;
o Lord, send me some sugar: Lord
send me some bacon" and 1t occurred to
the boys that II would be fun to go TO
the store, buy the things that Martha
prayed for, put them in bag and let
them down the chimney. So they carried
out their plan and OF course, were on
hand in the morning to hear what old
Martha said. OF course she was delighted
and she devoutly and vociferously thanked
thanked the Lord for sending the articles
that she had asked for.
Finally" wrote the senator. 81 went
around to the door, walked in and said:
Martha, the Lord had nothing to do
with sending those things; we boys heard
you pray for them and went down 10
the store and bought them and let them
down the chimney; SO you see the Lord
had nothing to do with IT. I don't care
said Martha. II you did. know the Lord
sent 'em, even II the devil brought 'em.'''

Value Of Deep Breathing.

Writing on the cultivation Of phys
ical fitness in the Herald Of the Golden
Age, Eustace Miles says that those
who have mastered the art Of deep
and full breathing are thereby enabled
to master their emotions-they can
overcome pain and secure control Of
the mind and Of the circulation Of the
blood. The control Of the breathing
prevents one from becoming hurried
and fiurried. and one acts leisurely,
although not laZily. Breathing can be
adapted to various needs-for instance,
in producing warmth or the opposite
efect--or one can breathe in order to
become more sensitive. In fact, the all
round value Of deep and full breath
ing cannot be overestimated. OF all
physical practices this is the first and
foremost and one that can be regu-
lated without being in the least con-
spicuous. If you have learned how to
breathe deeply and fully people may
not suspect it-they only notice that
you are calm, poised and good tenn
pered.

a seoead About Cats.

The ancient Greeks thought that all
creatures except cats had souls and
that that animal lost its soul through
a bargain made between a bridge
architect and the devil The arch1-
tect had besought the devil to get help
in constructing an exceedingly dan
gerous bridge structure. and his sa-
tanic majesty only consented to lend
aid on condition that the first creature
to cross it should lose its soul. This
was agreed upon, the bridge finished
In due time and the devil sent to the
