THE STORY OF WENDELL
PHILLIPS.
BY Charles Edward Russell.

When, before the War, Wendell Phil
lips denounced chattel slavery, he was
assailed by the slaveholding interests
of the South; when, after the war, he
rejected all proffers of high political
office and threatened wa~ge-slavery,
he was assailed by the manufacturing
interests of the North. In both in
stances he threatened somebody's
profits. That was all, and for this
reason Southern tire-eaters offered a
price for his head.
Yet, in his long life of ceaseless ac-
tivities, he debated for no crown,
argued for no fees, strove for no re-
ward, sought no place nor any fame,
cared for no achievement for its own
sake, and used his unequalled gifts
only for some cause Of justice or free
dom in which he could earn nothing
but oblokuy, hatred and isolation.
No nan ever gave up more for the
sake of his faith. All his brilliant ca
reer was wrecked in an instant. His
friends and family deserted him. Some
Of his relatives declared that he was
insane and planned to have him con-
fined in an asylum. The press cover
ed him with ridicule and abuse.
For more than twenty years he lived
in daily danger of his life, with a price
on his head.
When a cause vas won, as in the
case of the abolition of slavery in the
South, and in the natural revulsion
of popular feeling men sought to make
him its hero, he put aside their trib-
utes and demanded their attention to
the next unpopular reform.
Compared with such a career, the
stories of the men that on the grounds
of material triumph have won place
in the worlds regard, seem poor in
deed. They toiled for themselves, or
for the glory of achievement.
This mans single and unselish pur-
pose was to win better conditions for
the unfortunate, wherever they might
be, to strive against injustice. to fur
Their brotherhood, to spread liberty.
AS ardently as other men sought
wealth and power, he sought the Com
mon GOOu.
This is an outline of the story Rus
sell tells in this book of 1856 pages,
including many glowing passages
from Phillips speeches. Almost any
capitalist publishing house would
have paid the author handsomely for
this book if toned down" Russell
prefers to have us print it unexpurgat-
ed, at a price the workers can pay.
So we offer it in neat strong cloth
binding at soc postpaid.
Russel's Doing Us Good and Plenty
an up-to-date campaign book, is pub
lished in the same style at the same
price. His Stories of the Great Rail
roads, a much larger book, will be
mailed for s1.OO. Address

ASSUMING OUR RESPONSIBLE.
TIES.
BY DENNIS 6

BY DENNIS S. THOMPON.
Everyone ought to remember to
take their share of the duties of citi-
zenship and to carry their part of the
burdens of the community, to make
their W business worthy of them
selves and the community, to take
their share of the pioneering in new
civil and economic directions and not
fail in measuring upto the full stature
of the men and women they ought to
be. Their are a great many times
when we become direlict and let down
nj our ambitions and ideals, and to
lower our standards, and to leave the
important tasks undone; but the very
moment we do this, someone else has
to take up the burden. 1t should be
borne in mind that the world moves
right along, and there are always
some earnest, self-sacrihcing persons
to see that progress comes, even
though we fail in our part and become
the recipients of these other persons
largess.
However we should not settle down
on this degree of self satisfaction; we
we know that the worlds work viii.
go on. but it is the duty of every in
dividual to perform their share of
this work; every moment, every day,
and everywhere we go, there are du-
ties that are incumbent upon us.
There is our duty to God and to our
selves and to the world at large; it
is not enough to fill up our time, in
fact few people are idlers in the
sense of the word. The important
thing is not to keep busy but to do
work that counts each day, that can
one of sufficient importance to de-
serve to call out ones ambition.
When half-hearted work is being done
all about us it seems a hard matter
sometimes to keep our own ideals
nigh, and there are many times when
one is apt to lower their work to con-
form to the standards of those about
them. But this is a practice which is
very dangerous and uncalled for; the
unworthy ideals of others should not
be allowed to lower our standard.
There are high purposes which we
should live up to, regardless of the
atmosphere around us. The good we
get out of life depends largely on the
good will be put into it. Instead Of
wishing for. end expecting blessings
all the time, we should make them
ourselves. Each day we should as
sumo the responsibilities that are
ours as in so doing We are only per-
forming the duties that devolve upon
the Christian and citizen.

OF Mother Julia HartweII.

By C. HORATIO WARRICK.
The early mornings watch was on
And Christ was at the gates
The golden gates of paradise
Where>He for loved ones waits.
ThN angels gathered round in mass
With bugles in their hands
To give a great reception to
A saint from foreign lands.
Mother In Christ we see no more
Thy face transcendent sweet
Until>w meet with one accord,
At our redeemer's feet.
Nomore on earth we'll hear you sing
Your favorite songs in class
Nor see you sitting in your seat
Each time We gently pass.
Thy memory shall ever live
Within our saddened hearts
Well miss your pleasant countenance
And all thy sacred arts.
With one accord we've gathered here
! With love that is as one
! Your mission here on earth is DER
80 Lord thy will be done"
%Sixty-one years a soldier brave
With one hope to retreat.
She fought the fight undauntedly
With valor sanity sweet.
She laid her trophies at His feet
A thousand times or more
Her fighting days are DER at last
She rests on yonder shore.
Me thinks l hear my Saviour say
You've worn this body out
Come in sweet saint for heavens thine
Now shout, and shout and shout.
Tn old time religion, that you had
So changeless strong, and true
Has waited you to Paradise
Twill land us safely, too.

Dolls for Society Women.

In Vienna a regular trade is done in
elegantly dressed dolls that are pur-
chased by society women These dolls
are carved by hand after models by
well known artists, and they often
fetch as much as SIS each. Their cos
tunes are beautifully made. and no
two are alike In face and figure. Many
of these handsome toys are exported
to America.

EnaIIsh Table peIlcacy,

The Englishman's weakness for pud-
ding and pie is attested by the fact
that the great London fire began at
Pudding lane and ended at Pye cor
ner. Wine Office court derived its
name from the wine traffic formerly
carried on there. Lambert Simnel,
the %pretender in Henry Wits time,
originated the Simnel or mid-Lent
cake, now a celebrated specially of
Hereford. The cake is made of flour
filled with plums and candied peel.
1t is tied in a cloth and boiled for
hours, after which it is brushed over
with egg and baked hard.

Some enthusiastic golfers are so en-

About the Orchid.

In 1868 only 80 specimens Of Epi-
dendra were known to be under cult
walton. In 1712 a traveller noted some
specimens In Japan, but up to 1920
orchids we're looked upon as a curl
osity in botanical gardens. The
moth orchid" grown in the Philip.
pines, is an air plant. as are many of
the specimens. The price paid for this
rare bloom was 100 guineas.

The anxiety among the English had
become intense, and they had fiocked
TO the station In far greater numbers
than had been expected. The embas-
sizes. also, were there in FULL fore. Just
as the hustle was at Its height. the
announcement came hat no train
would be allowed 10 leave that night

The CONSERVATION hat followed was
indescribable. Added to the usual

ish railway station, the announcement
p~recipitated a veritable panic. There
was hut one hope-Mr. Morgenthau.
His genial and reassurlng personality
was everywhere in evidence and all
sufficient.

up the Sublime Porte by telephone
