Bluffs, Iowa. makes the following ap-
peal in the last issue of the Christian
Home, the official publication:
We trust that friends of this great
work everywhere will try to appre-
ciate the situation when we tell them
that the annual March 18th offering
is half of what it should have been.
It is the last general, annual offering
until the coming annual Fourth Of
July offering, more than three months
hence.
The many thousands of friends in
all parts of the country, who have
visited the Home, who have seen the
size and extent of the work, and the
large number of children cared for
daily, and the force of workers neces.
sary TO carry on the daily duties de.
yolying upon us, will surely realize
! that only short space of time is nee.
essary to place the Home under heavy
debt
! At the beginning of the year, we APP
pealed to the friends of these little
ones to make greater eff~its than ever
before in the past to spare us the
icrushing and unnerving burden of con-
slant and heavy debt.
Friends everywhere, we believe that
this right and merciful plan can and
should be carried out.
No matter how faithful the hearts
and hands of those here at the Home
in charge Of this great work may be,
there is. as all will surely agree with
us, limit to physical endurance and
such a thing as too great strain on
health and nerye-force.

have loyal and staunch supporters
those who will not only do everything
in their power for the actual support
of the work, but who will stand back
of us who are striving to carry on
this great child-saving institution.
We appeal to you to send now IL
you have not already done so; to get

Modern Roman Has Rescued Descrip

1900 Years Oid-DraWm
by T'ublius Leftuius.

I From the dust of more than 1906
years a studious modern Roman has

letters that Publius Lentulus, who
was Roman proconsul in Palestine
and knew the Savior In Nazareth,
wrote to friend in Italy. Says a
Rome correspondent Of the New York
World.
There has appeared here a man
of strange virtue" Publius Lentulus
wrote. His disciples call him The
Son of God He cures the sick and
raises the dead to life. He is very
handsome man and worthy of all our
attention. His hair is blond and
covers his shoulders in separate
curls and is parted in the middle.
after the fashion of the people of
Nazareth. His forehead is smooth
and serene, without marks or
wrinkles his countenance is pink;
his nose is well formed; his beard,
of the same color as his hair, is
parted in the middle.
In his gaze is an expression of
wisdom and topenness; his eyes are
blue, but shine terribly when he re-
proves people; but in conversation
they are amiable. His observations
are expressed. with liveliness, al.
though he always remains calm. No.
body has ever seen him laugh; but
he often weeps. OF good height
and straight figure, he has very beau.
tiful hands and arms. His manner
Of speaking is serious. He speaks
but little and is modest. In short,

They call him Jesus, the Son Of

HOW TWAIN GOT

Minneapolis Tribune Tells How the

Book For Nothing and
Money, Too.

There are some singular discounts
allowed in the book trade, remarks
the Minneapolis Tribune. They were
happily illustrated on one occasion
by Mark Twain. One day while the
humorist was connected with a pub.
fishing house he went to book
store and, picking up volume, asked
the price. He then suggested that
as publisher. he was entitled to 90
per cent discount. To this the clerk
assented.
AS am also the author OF the
book said Mark Twain, "it would
appear that am again entitled to
so per cent discount And the CLERK
bowed.
And as ! am a personal friend Oh

tinued, II presume you will allow me
