 midst of their gaiety and happiness, eschewed all else save a keen de- sire to help their unfortunate sis ters, made ready to dispatch it to its destination.
 "Inasmueh as ye have done it unto the least of theseA"
 The thought in the woman's mind was suddenly brought to an abrupt conclusion by her arrival at the ex- press office, where she was to send off the box with her love and sym pathy bound up in it, and she heard herself saying to the man in charge:
 Wont you hurry this box up, please? It is very important, and I want it to reach it's mark as soon as possible"
 Then she handed him the address and paid for it.
 In another instant the woman was whirling through the streets to her happy home-happy like as were those of the now suffering women but week ago-who were soon to receive the sweet message from this big, old, busy world of ours-from hearts attuned to deepest sympathy with those so recently bereft of all that makes life worth the living.
 In her luxurious home that eve- ming, with her loved ones gathered nf the happiest evenings of her life; {; her heart grateful that to her had been spared the pain and sorrow that had been the lot of others, and that out of the manifold mercies which had been accorded her, she was enabled to give succor and aid, materially, to those who needed it, as well as her sympathy and love.
 In crowded little room near the scene of the explosion sat another woman that night with her babe pressed close to her aching heart trying to still it's hungry cry, little dreaming that there was being at that very moment waited to her a testimonial from one of her more fortunate sisters, who in time of 1 distress needs only to put herself in the place of the sufferer to extend the hand of friendship. The Finale
 When told friend of mine last week who asked me what 1 was going to write about today, that it was mostly about the Doll Bazar'' and the "Children's Hospital" and "Do You Believe in Babies?' and then some more about babies-he said:
 'Is it a performance of 'Daddies' or Baby Mine or 'Penrod,' or Oliver Twist?' Why, never heard as much baby talk-I mean talk about babies in all my life! Why Dolly, you ought to have married a curate in Sandbank, New Jersey, or Flatbush, Long Island, and talk about babies at sewing circles and Ladies' Aid societies"

An Incident

All
 Everybody had agreed that the mine disaster was one of the most terrible, devastating, heart-rend-- ing things that had ever occurred in this district.
 The plotting out of life on a wholesale scale 'in the twinkllng or an eye," had caused a nation to shudder.
 The private theatricals had passed off without a single hitch and the dance that followed was dream Of beauty.
 Young Mrs. Van File gazed upon the scene with an air of benign sat isfaction. Metaphorically speaking, she had "patted herself on the back" which was just at that mo- ment exposed to view in all of It's loveliness.
 Her soul was filled with pulsat- ing ioy which comes of the mowl- edge of a deed well done.
 Tn a crowded little room near the scene of the explosion sat another woman.
 She was no older than the lovely Mrs. Van File, if you measure by years.
 Somehow years do not always count in such matters.
 She had lived a long time since that fatal Wednesday afternoon it seemed to her, as she looked back upon the dismal, drab, phantasma- roria. which had snuffed out the lives of those nearest and dearest to her-her husband-her boys and God knows it was hard to re- alize only an hour before how happy she had been.
 With her baby on her knee croon- ing Lullaby" soft and low watch ing and waiting for the twilight to descend that would gather around the happy evening meal, the others whom she loved so dearly.
 Alasl Alas! The tragedy or fatei
 Hereafter she would only gaze down the long dusty roads with nothing in them for her.
 Mrs. Van File was butterfly of fashion. but it did not take her ,nanv hours to realize that some where in the world and very near home. too, there was something hap pening that was causing sorrow ana

 The world demands "originals," not "copies;" it demands them be- cause it needs them; because it can not remain fresh and vital without the individuality and energy that imitation cannot give:
 Dr. Edmonds is one of the worlds "originals."
 Modest, pious, kind, human, big; he brings very precious merchan- disc to all of us, that healing touch of the spirit that ministers to minds diseased by the world, that sense of the .larger significance" of life which is so easily in the midst of our getting and spending"
 It is all in the personality of Dr. Edmonds and the hagiology of smiles and his gentle Christ-like life.
