QUERY FOR THE MISSIONARY
After the pIsoourso Was Ended,
Young Heather Wanted to Know
Only One Thing.

A Bostonian, who has done consid-
cradle missionary work in the far
east, not long ago addressed a Bible
meeting in a church Of that city, on
which occasion he spoke Of the adj
ventures, as well as the work, Of the
missionaries in that quarter, says
Harper's Magazine.
There was one youngster in the
audience, lad Of twelve, who had
been brought to the meeting by his
father. 1t was with considerable sur
prise and qualification that the mis-
sionary observed, when his dis
course had been finished and he had
asked whether anyone had any ques-
lions to put that the aforesaid
youngster evinced a disposition to
make an inquiry.
"Come, my lad" said the mission
airy, speak up. If there is any
thing l haven't made clear, tell me-"
"Oh, everything is clear to me-"
said the boy. ''What l want to know
is, have you any foreign stamps you
can give fellow?"

POPULAR DOCTOR.

/ believe he was quite good doc
tor, but many people employed him
for his personal charm, and the
story was current that sometimes
when the case was not urgent he
would sit talking to the friends and
60 away without referring to the
matter in hand. We youngsters
were always delighted to see him, for
he had always something unexpected
to say or do. He would take his
watch out Of one pocket and gravely
refer to it, or direct special attention
to some article Of dress whose nov
city he commended; and once when
driving with friend he leaned out
of the carriage as if in search OF
something. "What are you looking
forP" she asked, "some one you
Lnowp" No." he said, 'I'm look
ing at a dog don't know" From

THE HARDER TASK.

Senator Root, at a luncheon at the

war:
"Our arbitration treaties come
none too soon. The world is getting
tired Of war. This fact was well
brought home to be the other day
by the remark Of an English diplo-
mat.
'sHe said that, at the end of the
Boer war, two Unionists were wran-
Cling at a dinner.

AS a mean of remedying the di-
yorce evil several speakers recently
in a convention of the Allied Char
tiles of indianapolis suggested chill
dren should be taught early about
marriage, its duties and its sacred
ness. They said if children were
trained as rigosously in the meaning
of divorce as some are in their re-
igious duties, they would grow up
to understand marriage should not
be entered into lightly and that di-
yOrces are wrong. Charles W. Moore
Of that city spoke in that vein, say
ing that "people marry heedlessly,
and do not understand the real spir-
itual meaning Of the marriage rela-
ton" He adds boys and girls
should be trained carefully.
