Don't worry. The children are doing
one of the very best things hat chill

anyone telling them about it they are

OF course, he still managed affairs;

what would become of her when he

doubted his daughters ability to feed
herself unless the food was presented

Emeline had her own ideas on the
subject. And she kept in her safe,
true heart certain condolences which
her harassed, heartsick mother had
made to her. She knew her father
to be other than he thought he had
compelled her to know him. There
were no illusions concerning him in
Emeline's mind. But she feared him,
and her great fear for him controlled
her. Once he had beaten her in her
little girlhood, and she had never out

unpopularity by comparing her to

him except in terms Of the most ex-

SAVING SOMETHING NOT WORTH
SAVING.

Mrs. Matilda B. Carse is making an
other last appeal to members Of the
Women's Christian Temperance union
to help her save 1.-The Temple" says
the Minneapolis Tribune. To n not
always in close touch with White Rib
bon affairs this appeal comes as a
memory Of the past. It is an appeal
to sentiment, but a sentiment that has
80 little Of the reoic in it, and so dis
. ance that 1t is not surprising If 1t falls
on dull ears.
he W. c. T. U. temple in Chicago
was built 26 ears ago. A large lot
was secured at La Sale and Monroe
streets. in the heart of what is now
the financial district Of Chicago, and
on the lot was erected a brick otlce
building, hardly OF approved modern
construction of that day. In the rear
was an audience chamber.
The W. c. T. U. Of Chicago did not
supply the money for this lot and
building-they merely financed" 1t,
with the help OF generous sympathiz-
ers 1t was easy to build on that plan
In those days. At first it was designed
to have a building that would be self
supporting from rents. that would
serve as a general headquarters for
tbs W. c. T. U. of Chicago and the
west, and eventually would pay for
itself, After the death of Miss Fran
ees e. willard. the great founder Of
the union, it was proposed to make
the building a memorial to her.
hs union o o found 1t had a white
elephant. he building was none too
popular as an Office building, and the
rentals were barely enough in the
palr1y days to carry running expenses
and interest charges. Early In its ca
reer Mrs. Carse took UP the burden
Of saving the temple" and she and
her hobby have been more or less of
a thorn in the flesh Of the union ever
since. 80
At every annual convention Mrs.
Carse makes her appeal for support,
and with a tangible hope Of
clearing the property of debt. When
the international convention of the
union was held in st. Paul about Is
years ago, Mrs. Carse and the temple
caused bitterness and tears. At that
time the property was about to go for
debt, and now Mrs. Carse reports
that a mortgage of 100000 hangs
over it. with an interest charge of
$4,000 annually. During 2s years
$4,000 Of the rentals have been
paid out IN interest. e.
If the 100000 members of the un.
ion in all parts of the world would
heed the appeal and contribute 81
each-the temple would be saved. But
that "ff' Is perennial, and the mem
bers heed it not. The W. G. T. U. is
devoted to a high ideal, not to a los
ing real estate venture. The union
itself Is a higher and more lasting me
mortal to Miss Wizards memory than
any out-of-date Office building could
be- Her monument is in the heart.
and zeal OF the W. c. T. u, rather
than in this mortgage-ridden build
ing that must be almost ready for the
wreckers.
Yet Mrs. Carse has spent almost a
lifetime OF devoted energy in trying
to induce her sisters to ransom thi.
property for the sake OF Miss Will
