THE CHARITY MACHINE

my change, please"
Mrs Langdon Wallace stood at the
hosiery counter in Sarcy's, a store
that she seldom visited, because its
name was in the unwritten list of
cheap" establishments in her home
city. She was there because an ac-
quaintance had told her of bargain
to be had in silk stockings in spe-
cial sale-and she dearly loved
bargain. She had found the bargain
to be genuine, and was waiting for
change; Sarcy's was probably the
only large department store in the
town in which she had no monthly
accountant desired none
She was warm and uncomfortable.
The store was crowded, and the air
was bad Mrs. Wallace was not &C
customed to being jostled and pushed,
and she was not fond of an over
heated, overbreathed atmosphere She
was unused to coming into close
contact with the kind of people who
traded at Sarcys Without assigning
definite reason for the feeling, she
was somewhat ashamed of being
there; she was concerned lest some
one she knew should see her. And
she had waited long time for her
change. Her voice was coldly in
sistent.
The girl across the counter had
rather sullen brown eyes, Her shirt
waist was not entirely fresh: a
straight lock of hair hung down
across her forehead, and she looked
unkempt Mrs. Wallace could not
tolerate people who we're not neat.
Moreover, the girls whole expression
appeared defiant, impudent. 1t was
she who, ten minutes before, had
sold Mrs. Wallace a dozen pairs OF
silk stockings, and had received a
twenty-dollar bill in payment, from
which there was to be change amount
ing to eight dollars. Neither package
nor change had arrived; and now the
young clerk appeared utterly to have
| forgotten the transaction.
The girls dark eyes seemed to re
sent the customers question. She
stared for an instant at Mrs. Wallace
then turned to another woman who
was eager to buy.
81 want my change" said Mrs.
Wallace, stepping nearer the counter
''and / want it at once"
The girl turned to take down a
box from the shelf behind her. ASK
the clerk who waited on you, madam. .
she replied.
''Why-you waited on mel" ex.
claimed Mrs. Wallace, Indignantly.
Then she went on: why, what sort
Of service is this? Do you care
whether I get my change, or do yo,l
not?"

AN AFRICAN sIsTERHooD.

A sure proof that the faith has
taken root in the hearts of people
is the establishment among them of
native sisterhoods. Strange as 1t
may seem to us it is the men and
not the women who are first attracted
to Christianity among savage or bar
barous people, and even with those
whose civilization is based upon pa
ganism, like the Chinese and the
Japanese. The reason is that the
men in non-Christian countries are the
more religious. Women, in fact, figure
in religion scarcely at all. Of course,
when one stops to think he realizes
that it is to Christianity alone that
woman owes the position she graces
in society today. We have grown
so accustomed to expect prominence
in piety from our good mothers and
sisters, God bless them, we forget
that in other times and in other chimes
woman's sole god is her husband.
When we find native Sisterhoods
springing up in Africa, then we feel
assurance that the faith is taking a
deep hold there.
From a recent publication, the story
of the journey of two English travel
ers through Africa, we learn of the
existence of a little community OF
black nuns in German East Africa
The travellers tell us how the COM
munity came into existence:
ION Aug. 10 we reached Simba mis-
sion and received a hearty welcome
from the superior, Pere Avon, and his
colleagues. This post of the French
Fathers is chiefly remarkable for the
community of black nuns who live
there, and who are, we believe, the
only native women in this part of
Africa who have ever taken the veil.
The fact that they have done so is
due to the initiative of one OF the
Watwaki family who, after receiving
an education of Karema mission, vol
unteered to found the Sisterhood and
persuaded three Bantu friends to join
her. We were much impressed by
the demeanor of this remarkable Sis
terhood, the cleanliness of their house
and everything belonging 10 Lnem.
The Watwaki, now known as Sister
Agnes, had plenty of natural grace
and the dignity that seems part OF
the inheritance of this gala stock; the
other three were rather shy in our
presence, but are, we gathered, devout
members of the Church, and like their
leader make themselves very useful
in attending to the sick women and
children in the neighborhood besides
doing the laundry work for the mis-
sion. Nor are they without some
considerable culinary SKILL as we dis
covered from cake and a sweet made
especially for our benefit"
An interesting fact is that during
the journey of over 5000 miles the
only missions that these Protestant
travellers mention are the missions of
the Catholic Church.

"As for the troops of the North,

almost nothing to eat, except what
the people in the house have given
them"
why didn't she appeal to the as
sociation?" asked Mrs. Langdon Wal
lace, disapprovingly.
THAT kind doesn't" said the young
inferno, with a look that seemed to
resent her question. She's worked
till she's ready to break with exhaus-
ton. I think, with proper care, the
man will live; but I'm alarmed about
her. She's starved herself to get him
the things he needed. And she's
been nearly crazed over some diff
Guilty, about which l couldn't learn"
"A devoted wife," commented Mrs
Wallace.
Wife? She's not his wife; she's
his daughter. That's what makes"
But his listener did not hear the
rest. At that moment a nurse came
round the screen, leading slight,
huddled, sobbing figure. The white,
tear-stained face looked up into the
older woman's, and Mrs. Wallace be-
held Alice Startling, the discharged
clerk from Sarcy's.
Mrs. Wallace made her way out to
the waiting limousine She was
driven straight to her beautiful home.
There she sought her own luxurious
boudoir, and locked herself in alone.
Then, coated and befurred as she
was, she sank down beside her desk,
and stared dry-eyed at the neat piles
of correspondence arranged for her
attention. On the top of one pile lay
a typewriter letter, on a letterhead
bearing name that startled her into
reading.
Mrs. Langdon Wallace, Hoyne
Avenue, City.
Dear Madam: You will doubtless
be interested to know that the pack
age and change belonging to you,
and delivered by one of our clerks to
the wrong customer, have come to
| light. The person who received them
did not discover the error till she had
reached her out-of-town home, but
has returned the goods and money
today.
1T is some satisfaction to us that
this proves that our clerk was at
least not dishonest.
very respectfully,
"Sarcy & Company"
Mrs Wallace's aristocratic head
sank upon her gloved hands. She
sobbed outright, as she had not
sobbed for years. ooh, she wasn't
dishonest at ALL" she murmured
"She wasn't-she wasn't sullen. oh,
poor child! She was only mad with
MISUNDERSTANDING anxiety and
and exhaustion! And II had her
discharged"
And then a very simple, humble
prayer, that had no relation to the
progress of organized benefaction OF
the masses, trembled on her lips.
ooh God,' she whispered, may
they get well! Help me to help them!
And oh, forgive me for being IA
charity machine!"

CHRISTIANS SUFFER FROM
CHINA'S REBELLION.

Some of our missionaries have been
in the thick of the disturbance that
has recently agitated China. Fir. J..
MI. Maignaud, Lazarist, is one of
these. His letter, written August
9th, says:
"The revolution began in my mis-
sion of De-an-hien, in the Kiang-Si
district. The troops from the South
conferred there and numbered about
$4,000 men. Although badly armed
and commandered. they have held to-
gether for q month and a half.

SENTIMENT FAYORS
 PRIMARY ELECTION
TO SELECT U. s. SENATOR
POPULACE WOULD CALL PRI. MARES TO INSTRUCT THEIR
 REPRESENTATIVES,.

Little Rock, Jan. 18.-There ap. pears to be growing sentiment in va. rous sections of the state in favor of Ia senatorial primary, in line with the resolution adopted by the house re. questing the state central committee to call such an election. It is report. ed here that in several of the coun- ties special primaries will be called tc instruct their representatives and some declare this can be done on short notice, before the election of a sena- tor is taken up on January 2S.
 Senator CarlLee of Woodruff county says that he is receiving strong peti- tons for Robinson, Brundidge and Norwood, and does not know what tc do. He is anxious that his constitu. ents hold an eeiction and determine the question of preference.
 Representative Caldwell of Inde- pendence was granted leave of ab. sence Friday to attend a mass meet. ing that is to be called in Batesville today for the purpose of considering the calling of a special election fo1 that county.
 There is developing a spirited con- test between David L. King of Hardy and Judge w. M. Kavanaugh of Lit tie Rock for the snort term. Ex-Gov Donaghey has taken a part in this by declaring: of Senator Heiskell is faithfully serving the people of Ar kansas in the United States senate there should be no change made in the remaining short time he could bt there. This period at the longest could be only until March 4, or about 30 working days after the change could be made, allowing a weeks time for any newly-elected senator to gel ready and get to Washington. Sc | it can easily be seen that it would hardly be worth while to make { change, even if there were any dis satisfaction about MT. Heiskell's re maining there. MT. Heiskell is doine everything in his power for the best interests of not only the people o1 Arkansas, but of the entire natior as well. There is every reason fol retaining MT. Heiskell in his present position and no substantial reason fol not doing so."

MISS MARY DROFNAH.

Miss Marie Drofnah has been so closely and prominently associated with the annual starring tours of MT. Charles B. Hanford that an introduc- tion to the American admirers of "Shakespeare's Women of the Stage seems scarcely needed, for she has di- vided honors with her co-star to such an extent that her name, like his, is almost household word throughout the country where the two have ap- peared together season after season.
 Miss Marie Drofnah's first appear ance on the stage was in the part of "Jenny Northcote" in Gilbert's I"Sweethearts," in which she achieved instantaneous success. Shortly after wards she was engaged for Gurtha Graham in Steele MacKay's Money Mad" and a season later played with noted success the juvenile part in "A Man Without Country" Her first appearance in the classic plays was as "Portia" in "Julius Caesar" at the same time being caste for "Parthenia" in Ingomar, and Emilia" in Othello.
 She next appeared with Thomas w. Keene as Lady Anne" in Richard III, "Desdemona" and other similar parts, Later she supported Joseph Haworth and Charles B. Hanford in a joint starring tour, playing Ophelia, Portia, Jule De Mortimer, Virginia and Desdemona Then began the joint starring tours with MT. Hanford, in which she achieved her greatest suc- cesses. Her Katherine in "The Tam ing of the Shrew," Portia in "The Merchant of Venice" Beatrice in "Much Ado About Nothing" Her. mione and Perdita in "The Winters Tale" Desdemona in "Othello" and Imogen in "Cymbeline" are all well remembered and her rendition of them inspired a prominent Shakespearean scholar and dramatic critic to declare her "the most womanly woman of the American stage"
 In the present tour, Miss Drofnah will be seen as Emilia in "Othello," Portia in "The Merchant of Venice" Calphurnia in Julius Caesar" and

GOV. ROBINSON'S FIRST
 LEGISLATIVE MESSAGE
MAKES SPECIFIC RECOMMEN. DATIONS ON THE
 TAX RATE.

Little Rock, Jan. 18.-One of the most important features of the first message of Governor Robinson to the legislature delivered today, so far as the taxpayers are concerned, is his recommendations on the tax rate. He recommends a loan to meet the exist ing deficit, the bond issue to be under carefully considered safeguards. The only other plan is to increase the gen. eral tax rate. He recommends that the state general rate be decreased from l 3-4 to 1 35-100 mills, the sink ing fund rate of Is mill, the state school rate of 3 mills, and the Confed- crate pension rate of l 1-2 mills re- main unchanged, that the state capi- tol rate of 1-2 mill be discontinued, and that an educational rate he be- lieves will better serve the cause of education, and he recommends that this be distributed, 40 per cent to the University, 10 per cent to the State Normal and 10 per cent to each of the agricultural schools. He says that there are enough funds on hand and in sight for the state capitol, and points out several methods by which more revenue can be raised without injustice or an increase in rates.
