CHARITY AT HOME.

1t is an interesting and instruc-
tive tale that has been telegraphed
to the New York papers from Spring
field, Mass, regarding the finality of
the Rev. William o. Peterson,
Methodist clergyman.
Mr.. Peterson, it appears, had been
preaching the Gospel from the
Methodist point of view for nearly
seventy-tive winters and summers.
He became incapacitated through the
fulness Of his years, and was re-
moved to the poorhouse, where he

friendless, the New England NJ
odist Conference, in Springfield.
spent much time in the considera-
ton of foreign missions"
Lest this bare recital be miscon-
strued, let us hasten to adj the rec
ord that recently Method st clergy
men became Interested in Mr.. Pc
terson's case and plans had been
made to remove him from the poor
house." but that, broken in spirit,
Mr.. Peterson succumbed to the in
firmities Of age before measures for
his relief could be carried out"
We regret that we are too late to
demonstrate with the misguided Mr.
Peterson upon the extremely incon-
siderate nature of his course We
do not at all approve of his having
succumbed to the infirmities of age
at a time when Methodist clergymen
had become interested in his case.
Such an exhibition of ingratitude,
We insist, was almost damnable-
and he clergyman.
We dare say that before aiming
this deadly blow at his former asso-
ciates in the Methodist pulpit the
unregenerate Mr.. Peterson had the
effrontery to imagine that his petty
misfortunes might have been consid-
cred by the Methodist Conference
before it took up the vastly more
essential matter of foreign missions.
Quite possibly it may have occurred
to the warped mind of this man that
the question Of rescuing him from a
pauper's deathbed was quite as much
in the line of family honor as con-
tributing thousands of dollars worth
of red flannel to the heather in
Africa and some tons of Methodist
literature to the Mohammedans in
Asia.
Such narrow reflections obscure
the moral vision Of those whose life
times Of patient labor and self-sac-
ri1ice discover their reward upon the
corn-husk cot Of death within the
bare walls of an almshouse as cold
as charity itself. Let US assert with
all the inspired force Of eloquence
at our command that thoughts Of the
kind possibly conjured up by Mr..
Peterson while he was succumbi ing
to the infirmities of age (and while
his good and reverend brethren were
thinking about his case) were dis
tinctly immoral
1t is entirely clear that what this
thoughtless and frivolous WORKOUT
servant of the Methodist Church
should have done WAS to indite a
vote of thanks to the Conference for
spending several hours in consider
ing it's foreign missions while he lay

In country which is not wholly

stool-pigeons, is generally inyeigled
into a monastery in which there is
a special place set apart for the IN

self in peculiar way to Almighty
God and that he never wished to see
his relatives or hear about them any
more. The writ of habeas corpus
does not run in popish monastery
Or nunnery, neither has an Inspector
access to such places. The papal
hierarchy declares that it would be
gross libel on the church and
clergy to assert that inspectors or
writs Of habeas corpus are neces-
sary for the protection Of individuals
in the power Of the popish priest
hood
The case of the doubling priest or
theological student is slightly diff
ferent if he happens to be in what is
called Catholic country, that is,
one wholly controlled by the papal
hierarchy. He is suddenly arrested
and arraigned before a magistrate
insane through overstudJ. The
magistrate is Jesuit who knows
his part we'll, SO he. commits the poor
youth to the lunatic asylum for
observation, as he describes it in
the commitment.
The board of alienists at. the asy-
lum, as well as the asylum superin-
tendent, are generally lay members
of the Jesuit order. They have no
hesitation whatever in deciding that
the poor youth is insane and too
dangerous to be at large. What
happens to the poor youth in. the
hands Of those cruel bigots is almost
incredible. He is thrown stark
naked into a cell that contains moth
ing but a heap Of dirty straw. Such
food as he gets he must suck from
the mouth Of small kettle the
spout of which is thrust through the
barred grating of his cell door. He
is drenched with noxiOus drugs and
maltreated in various ways His
modesty is outrageously shocked by
the jeers and the hands Of the
british attendants. He is subjected
to hot and cold baths at short inter-
walls. If all done to him fails to
make him recant and to acknowl-
edge that he was tempted by the
devil, that he now believes and will
ever believe that the holy Roman
Catholic church is the only true
Church, that he will never doubt its
teachings again or speak word
against it, if he fails to do this he
is found hanging in his cell some
morning and the story is put forth

CHILDREN FOND OF BANANAS
Little Cubans Seem to Never Tire Of
This Fruit-Cooked In Many
Different Ways.

Every day of their lives the bright
eyed little Cuban children eat ba-
nanas. They are so fond of this fruit
that they never grow tired of It.
Their mothers make a -four by grind
ing strips of dried bananas and from
this flour make banana biscuits. The
children also are fond OF baked green
bananas and they eat with relish a
dish made of cooked banana sprouts.
Practically every part Of the ba-
mana tree and fruit Is valuable. The
long leaves from the top of the trees
are used for making dark dye, the
tough f1bers of the leaves are made
into grass cloth and the tree trunks
are used for building houses. Banana
trees do not live long, however They
die down every year after bearing
fruit, but before departing they send
up new shoots, which grow into trees
in a few months. Some great clus-
ters of bananas appear on them and
before the trees are a year old heaEy
punches of the fruit are cut from them
and shipped to the United States and
other countries.

QUEER ILLUSION IN LETTERS
Optical Principle That Eye Exasser-
ates Upper Part Of Object
Good Example Given.

Most people when they go to make
letters or figures cannot make them
so they look right. Try the best they
can, there is still something wrong
with the proportions. This is often
due to the fact that our eyes do not
see things exactly the way they are,
but are all the time fooling us.
For example 1t is an optical prin-
ciple that the eye exaggerates the
upper part OF an object and under
estimates the lower part. If you make
a letter B for instance and make the
upper bow the same size as the lower,
the letter will never look right, for
the upper part will look too big and
the letter will be topheavy. For this
reason 1t is necessary in designating
etters to allow for the error the eye

LITTLE OPPOSITION FOR WOMEN
Brewers and Others Against Suffrage,
Taking No Active Part In
Kansas Campaign.

Topeka, Kansas.-No opposition has
appeared to the woman suffrage cam
paign in Kansas. Those against the
voting of women are not taking much
interest or doing anything to oppose
the adoption of the constitutional
amendment. About two months ago,
some soap was distributed in western
Kansas, and in the packages WAS a
pamphlet opposing woman suffrage
and favoring resubmission of the pro-
hibitory law. 1t was expected that the
brewers would take hand in the Kan
sas campaign as in every other state.
Their work has not appeared.
The women managing the campaign
have quit organization work. They
are getting in touch with the voters.
The Equal Suffrage league has COM
pleted the organization in almost one

or eight on the west side line.
