 For IS years Perry worked for uudnut. The highest pay he ever received there was $29 d week. He had offers innumer- able from other druggists They offered him twice what he was getting from Hudnut. and then. when he declined that, asked him to name his own price. Bus mess men, big and little. were not slow tc realize what this modest. courteous man was worth in business. and they suggested that he open an establishment for himself and that they would back him. A hundred such offers were made to him. but he declined all of them until October 6, 1886. Then the New York Sun came out with a big, first-page story with the heading Something New Under the Sun" It told how Charles J. Perry, the Little Father of Park Row, had opened drug store of his own under the Sun" II was one of the most grateful bits of free advertising a New York newspaper ever gave to a kindly, worthy man. And there probably never was another man in New York who started business under just such conditions as did Charles J. Perry.

A DEAR old lady wants me to write "A something on the ministry of She asks why there should be pain in the world and. being here. how it can minister to good.
 Of course I do not know why pain should be in the world except as l can see it's uses.
 The poet says. NO pain the body suf- fers that the soul may not grow by,' which is to say the spirit may benefit by the travail of the body. By overcom- ing. the spirit may strengthen itself.
 A brutal view?
 Not necessarily. But if so it is inevi- table. None of us can escape pain of the body or suffering of the mind In ev- cry life there must be sorrow and change and loss and decay
 How shall one grow strong except one shoulders his cross? How find the virtue endurance save by deprivation and agony of mind?
 Being human there is no other way.
 You may or may not accept the re- ugious view. You may or may not take up the challenge of the Nazarene-"H He that would be my disciple let him deny himself and follow me-"
 But-
 You cannot escape the vieissitudes of mortal life. If pain and struggle do not come to you today they will come never theIess. The blight of loss no less than the joy of increase is part of your mortal heritage.
 How will you meet the crisis?
 Stoicaly? That may be for some rare souls Certain it is that, matter how you may strive and cry out, you cannot change the decrees of destiny.
 Why not try patience and submission and courage and faith? By so doing you transform the struggle from despair to hopefulness. You give your brave spirit a chance to night its battles.
 And that chance for high courage is one of the ministries of pain.
 Why not accept that view? You can not disdain your trouble. But you need not cringe and cover under its load.
 Pain is a barrier against which fortitude and patience and faith may cast them selves and in the spirit of the overcom- ins life become valiant. though chastened Whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth

After reaping his degree, he remained still another semester at Heidelberg in attendance on lectures.
 Possessed of an inquisltive and retentive mind, Dr. Smith, while in Europe, spent much of his time on tours of observation and scientific investigation in Russia Holland, the Netherlands, the German states.

 What man wants that he will get or be changed by the trying.-Emerson.
 "I have been wanting to write to you. says my correspondent but hitherto have not had the time"
 l take my friends words with a grain of salt.
 If he really had wanted to write to me not being ill nor unusually engaged-he would have found the time.
 My dear, l have been wanting to call on you for an age" says the visitor, but you know I have been altogether busy. caller has not wanted to call or she would have done so.
 What one wants he gets.

 One Of my friends, hearing of a mutua: friend who at the age of 40, though mar ried and with a family to support, entered university, said:
 T wish l could do that. I have always wanted classical education"
 He did not want it.
 If he very much wanted that education he would get it. The man who thus ex- cused himself from trying was rich and a bachelor.

 As Emerson says. if in the extreme ex- ception we do not get our desire we are thereby changed into something stronger and better.

 Dr. Smith has long ranked the lead- ing scientist of Alabama and his inves- legations in the field of geology have been of immense value to the state and country. His connection with the state university has been one of it's chief ele- ments of popularity Modest and shrink ing in disposition. without the least obtrusiveness or assertion, he has not been estimated at his real worth to the public. and only those who have been thrown into immediate connection with him. The young men under his instruc- ton and the learned faculty of the uni versity prize his worth and are unstinted in the expression of their estimate of his worth.
