walked up 10 the truth the Master taught, that evil is overcome with good not with the stripe, the iron bar. or the de- grading lash, much less the hangman's moose. The federal government as yet has not provided us with very reliable statistics as to the number of children dealt with by police officers and courts. And it is to be hoped that a federal chil- dren's bureau will be established, to gather specialize, and focus statistics and facts upon this important subject.
 1 am satisfied, however, from special inquiry and investigation in 60 large cities and towns of the nation, that we do not overestimate when we place the number of children dealt with by police and court officials every year as at least 100000. It might reach 100000.
 As the age of dependents and della quents are now being measured in most of the states up to the 18th year, 1t will be seen that within the period of delin- quency and dependency, as fixed by laws of the states, the courts of the nation are called upon within this period of tho chid's life to deal with nearly 100000 children under this minimum estimate. and nearly 4,000,o00 under the maximum estimate.

IN the most stately room in one of the
 most magnificent buildings in the A world there assemblies at regular times small group of men, most of them srav-baired. most of them coldblooded, most of them millionaIres many times over. Uniformed .servitors guard the , doors and patrol the corridor while they are in session, for nothing is permitted to disturb their deliberations They wield a mighty power, the power of money. for they form the finance committee of an Insurance company with hundreds of mill lions of dollars at its disposal. Ten thou- sand or more applications are made to them each year for loans. They pass judgment in every case, but for the most part their work is rerfunctory. In every instance an application must be scruti- nized by the controller before it reaches them, and in ninety-nine cases out Of hundred his action is approved.
 One day in 1907 the board met usual. The nation was in the throes of one Of the greatest panics in history. Bank after bank had failed, thousands of persons were. bankrupt, more thousands were
 
 Daralyzed and every day brought a new tale of ruin
 sGentlemen," said the chairman, after the ordinary routine work of the meeting had been disposed of, T have letter here which would like to bring to your attention. It is from a gentleman con nected with real estate concern in Pine street, and he asks the privilege of ad- dressing the board. The request is rather .-1. Dfg
 Do you know what he wants?" asked one of the members.
 "No.' replied the chairman, but I am informed he represented a man named Jacobson, who recently applied to us for Q loan on some property"
 And the application was rejected?"
 "Of course."
 .'Then what is the use of wasting his time and ours with any discussion of the matter? We are not lending money now. Who is? I, for one, wish l knew. I'd like to borrow some myself
 The chairman reminded the members that it was for them to say if they would give audience to the gentleman.
 Well" said the man who had spoken before. "let him come hs-e if he wishes. 1t won't do any harm to listen to him.
 The others nodded in assent and 1t was 90 ordered.
 Probably the matter mad been forgotten by most of the members, and they were about to adjourn at the next meeting when the controller mentioned the fact to the chairman that MT Radcliffe was outside.
 "Oh, yes" said the chairman, "ask him in."
 MT. Radcliffe entered and was intro duced. He looked at the cold. calm group of men and then, after thanking them for the privilege they had extended to him, he began his story.
 "Gentlemen," he said, "a man for whom would do anything in the world came to my office the other day and asked me to help him. If any man should help him

 He Is not prominent and he is not known perhaps to any of you. He is just a plain, ordinary person who has gone through life simply and unostentatious- ly, but he has done more good than any one knows. He has his own ideas Of what is honest and right and the world would be better place to live in If more men lived by his code.
 ''The mans name is Jacobson. When he came to me he had exhausted every other resource. For weeks he has been doing everything in his power to raise money. The bank in which he had his deposit has closed The business which he built up through years of effort will be destroyed unless he gets assistance. He had thousands of dollars In out standing accounts, but he cannot col lect a cent. The building which he owns has a mortgage which falls due in few days. At any other time there would be no difficulty in getting an extension, but the holder of the mort gage is in dire distress and must fore close it Jacobson cannot pay

that while he had not met me often he knew me well enough to know I had made good fight. He said l must not lose heart: that 1 had the respect of all the men in our business and that with youth and vigor I had great assets on which 10 build anew. He told me. how ever, that the greatest asset in life was honesty. He told me he believed I was honest that he had watched me more closely than l had any idea of and that I must not permit the reverse to which 1 had been sub bjected to affect my prin- eiples or my faith in myself.
 Then he told me he wanted to help me, but he could not do so much as he would like. for times were hard and he had to be very careful with his money. And while he was talking he was rolling up piece of paper which he had drawn out of his pocket When he had it rolled up tight he handed il over to me.
 "I unrolled the paper and then l looked at him. l never had done a fa- vor for him in my life and he was un- der no obligations whatever to me. He was a Jew and l was a Gentle. We only knew each other in a business way. l was broken man. l had done all l could to win trade away from him, and now in my greatest distress and In time of panic he, out of the goodness of his heart, was the one per son of all 1 knew to befriend me. I looked at that certified check for 5000 until the tears hid it from view and then l laid over on the table right on the dishes and blubbered like a baby.' | There was a suspicious moisture in MT | Radcliffe's eyes as he got to this part of 1 his story and there was a queer hitch ill his voice. But the member of the com mittee who had frowned at the first story was seoWling now. Not only that, but he | had risen from his seat and taking d bunch of keys from his pocket was swing ing them about angrily from key cham While he strode up and down the room. No one spoke for half minute or more after MT. Radcliffe finished, but then one of the members, after a preparatory clearing of his throat said: MT. Chair man, these are extremely critical times and we are committed to a certain policy, but it appears to me we might make an exception in the case of this man Jacob son. By the way, how much does hs | want?"
 'It is s1Oo,0oO I believe. Am I right. Mir Radcliffe?''
 "Yes," said MT. Radcliffe
 And of course the security is ample?"
 That represents not more than one- third of the value of the property" said Mr Radcliffe. ''rhe estimate of your controller, who is most conservative, puts the value at 50,000'
 .'Then l move the Joan be approved" said the gentleman who had cleared his throat.
 "No," roared the member who was pae- ing the floor. Don't give him S1O0O0o. If you're going to give him a cent give him enough so he will be foot loose until this thing is over. If you're going to do this thing at all do 1t right" t And they did it right. for the biggest loan ever made on the Jacobson property was put through that panic day. | Copyright, 1911, by Richard Spillane)

 Now Mud Puddle
 The site of the temple is surrounded by hills. It lies in the valley not far above the level of the Mediterranean, which we can see shining in the sun not more than five miles away History says it was swampy and that the great structure was erected upon columns. This statement is borne out by the present. The excavation made in removing the ruins is now filled with water. Itis mud puddle or minia- ture lake filled with broken pillars and capitals lying half in and half out of the water.

 Ephesus. ~ OME with me for walk through
 the remains of the famed city O of the Ephesans. We shall wander over the site of the great Tenn pie of Diana, tramp the ground where St. John was living when he wrote his gospel, and stand in the marble mar ket where St. Paul preached. There is also a tradition that the mother of our Lord was buried here. and that here lies the dust of St. Timothy.
 Excavated by the Austrians
 The Ephesus of the past has been re- gently brought to the light of the present by the excavations of the Aus trians. They are among the great his torical explorers of the day. I have told you what they are doing in the Holy Land, and especially on the site of old Jericho. They are also engaged in digging up the ruins of other cities in Asia and here at Ephesus they have rently uncovered the site of teh Temple of Diana and have opened up theatre which had seats for 30,000 per

 3ut first let me tell you something of the Ephesus of the days of St. Paul. It lay here on the coast of Asia Minor, just opposite Greece. and in what was almost the center of the then known world. It was the chief Roman city of Asia. It had population of a mill lion or more and was famous frrs it's learning, art and beautiful buildi.2r.

WORKED IN TOPEKA.
C. =. Taylor, Who Is Under Arrest,
F1eeced Negroes Here.

Hundreds of former slaves living in
Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri have
wondered why their pension" never
came. The explanation is in the ar
rest of Charles B. Taylor by federal
officers, and Taylor will be prosecuted
for plying his graft on innocent ne
groes.
Topeka negroes contributed their
mite in the hopes Of receiving aid
from the government in their declin-
of the larger towns in the state and
was gathering a small harvest in
Brown county when a deputy United
States marshal suddenly broke up the
game.
For very nominal sum Taylor
promised to land the pension for the
aged negroes who were held in slav-
cry before the Civil war To each man
Taylor told how the government had
become interested in the cause of the
coIored man and had decided to give
him financial uplift. Now, if there
is any one thing that a negro appre-
ciateS it is money that comes right
from Uncle Sam. Taylor knew this as
we'll as anyone and he had no trouble
in collecting sums of 81 and IS from
each applicant for a pension. Then
the gray haired negroes who toiled in
the cotton fields of the south so years
ago sat down and waited for the pen
sion that never came.
Recently the pension offices in
Washington were flooded with letters
from Kansas, Oklahoma and Missouri,
asking about the special pension for
ex-slaves. After this first installment
of communications a deputy marshal
began to follow Taylor's trail of vic
TINS through Kansas and finally
caught up with the procession at lit
tie town in Brown county. Just how
many hundreds or thousands of dol
lars TayIor's victims contributed. gov
eminent officials here do not venture
to state.
The special pension for ex-slaves is
an aged graft 1t has been over
worked for many years in states where
the colored population is large. In
Kansas it has been tried only in
small way. But Taylor was an ener-
getic man and by strict attention to
business was cleaning up small for
tune when government officials broke
up his game.
