Chapter xi.

The trite adage mighty oaks from
little acorns grow" has no better ex-
emplification than in the history of the
W. A. Sunday campaigns. The mon.
ster movements swaying thousands
and interesting in some instances
close to a million people In a single
city are the outgrowth of compare
lively tiny meetings whose history is
lost in the shadowy recollections Of
memories a quarter century old.
This, for no better reason, than at
the time they were not considered
important and the careful records
which the press of the country has
compiled in the day of the big cam
paigns, were not made.
A detailed enumeration of even the
more important campaigns must lack
variety and possibly that element OF
spectacular interest which attaches to
. majority of the activities Of the
evangelist. No work that purports to
be biographical survey of his life,
however, would be complete without
such an enumeration. Unfortunately
such of the records as exists are in
many instances conflicting or lack
Ing in definite authority. In that
which follows careful effort has been
made to sift facts from fancies and so
Tar as possible to give the best avail
able information even where it has
not been possible to verify statements
made.
The commonly accepted list Of cam
paigns together with the reported
number Of conversions as this has
gone the rounds of the press is given
below. It should be definitely under
stood that this is an unofficial list and
that diligent efforts to verify q mum.
Der Of the statements and figures have
been without success.

FOR THE BREAKFAST TABLE
Knitted Jacket Strictly In Order and
One of the Most Comfortable
Morning Garments.

The newest model for the breakfast
jacket is knitted in square filet effect
and has designs similar to those used
with the mesh in that sort of thread
lace. The jacket, which has a straight
back and straight front, is composed
of five-inch cross bands that seam un
der the arms and upon the shoulder.
The series of roundabout strips that
make up the straight sleeves, are
Joined at the inside of the arms.
Where the jacket ends, at the base OF
the hips, and down it's fronts, it is fin
ished with an inch-wide border In
plain stitch, the same used to form the
wide, turned-back cuffs on the three
quarter sleeves and the broad shawl
collar at the neck. The bordering.
cuffs and collar are usually of the
same shade as the loosely knitted lin
ing of the jacket, which shows through
and contrasts with the filet meshes OF
the outer side. Dainty combinations
are white filet-knitted worsted lined
and trimmed with pale pink, blue.

a hundred times rather take a ham,
mer and nails, and with what odds
and ends he can find work out some
idea of his own than to possess O
whole houseful of ready-made locomo.
tives and fire-engines, which, to his
critical eye, lack many important de-
fails. The writer goes on:
These outfits consist of strips of
steel varying in length and having
holes punched at equal distances from
md to end. Included in these sets are
also gears, pinions, pulleys. Hanged
wheels, axles, beams, ETC., which give
the boy all the parts necessary to
build up almost any kind of a NINA.
ture machine. The strips are held to-
yether by means of small screws and
nuts, and the structures that can be
built in this way In a remarkably
short space Of time by any boy are de-
clared to be surprisingly real in ap-
pearance. The various metal strips
are formed in imitation of structural
steel beams, and the young engineer
in this way acquires a knowledge of
the strength Of materials and ele-
mentary engineering practice which
many weeks Of study from books
would probably fail to impress upon
his mind. He also becomes familiar
with the forms Of many Of the we'll
known works Of engineering and &C.
quires a knowledge Of the subject
which cannot fail to be of great value
to him in later years. even though he
may not follow the engineering pro-
fession.
Each piece of material is
nicely finished with smooth edges and
rounded corners and nearly all the
parts are nickel-plated. Everything
which the boy would require is sup.
piled with the outfit. even to a guam

jim WAS INTERESTED
Not In Wonderful Deeds Of Hero In
Story Teacher Was Reading. But
In Her Crooked Tooth.

You could have heard a pin drop In
the kindergarten that morning. Miss
Mary was telling a story to be true,
but all was so quiet that ever her
voice had taken on a subdued tone.
Jimmie was sitting next to Miss
Mary, and in addition to Jimmie there
were "A other children in the morning
circle, all breathless over the wonder.
full hero Of this story of knighthood.
1t might have been an accident that
Jimmie sat there. Again. 1t might
have been a scheme worked my Miss
Mary herself, for Jimmie never lis
tened to stories.
Acrobatic performances, such as
using only one leg Of a chair, pinching
his neighbor unawares, or tying the
plat Of the little girl next to him to
the back Of her chair, were all more
desirable forms of entertainment. &c.
cording to Jimmie's idea. In the
aforementioned chair he at least
seemed safer. and there as a bare
chance that he would listen.
"Ah," thought Miss Mary. Il have
found the kind of stories that appeals
to Jimmie. He likes this because the
hero SO bravely overcomes grave diff
fculties. The high ideals held up have
aroused him. / must be careful to
choose this sort Of story I'M the fu-
ture."
She grew more dramatic as she con-
tinued, and the children more tense.
She felt Jimmie's eyes fastened on her
face, and knew that he sat motionless
as he watched her. Could 1t be posi-
BILE that this was to be the turning
point Of her career with him? Up to
this time he had seemed a hopeless
case. She felt eager to reach the end,
for surely she would get some inter-
esting response. Never had she seen
Jimmie so interested, and she believed
he would express himself about the
story,
She had become so tense herself in
her interest that there was an audible
sound all around the circle as she said
the last word. Then, oh Joy, Jimmie
was going to speak. What would it
be? Perhaps a resolution to be like
this hero, perhRps-but this is what
he really said:
Gee, Miss Mary, that crooked tooth
Of yours sure does look ugly when
you talk"

Flowers for Muff,

To make the big muff of long-haired
fur look particularly chic, there should
be affixed to its front side-near the
center or near one corner-a large
bunch of flowers in velvet or darkest
toned red. purple or blue, surrounded
by large leaves Of darkest green or
bronze silk, veined and edged with
dullest silver or gold tinsel threads.
Both flowers and leaves are very fiat
and are pressed as much as possible
into the fur so that only at close range
can they be distinctly discerned. II a
long and broad scarf in pelt is worn,
that also may carry a bunch of match
ing flowers and foliage, but they must
be prominent accessories or
worn upon any but the darkest of furs.
On any white, yellow or gray pelt,
these fabric exotics are conspicuous
and consequently not smart looking.

Bead necklaces have grown up. The
modest little beads we have been
wearing strung on necklaces are a
thing of the past, or soon will be. The
bead necklaces of today are great af-
fairs that hang around the neck in a
way that suggests prison chains and
manacles. The beads they are made
of come in every imaginable shade of
red, blue, rose, violet, green and or
ange, and starting in at the claps grad
uate slowly in size until the central
bead is about three-quarters of an
inch in diameter.
The beads themselves are varied in
appearance. They are no longer eth
er round or oval, but are cut into
strange shapes, reminiscent Of the ami.
mails we tried to form from mud in
our childhood days. Usually, they are
interspersed with tiny beads Of silver
and gold filigree, merely to vary the
design. Three or fouh colors Of beads
usually come in one necklace.
