The reform movement, in the evos of the conventional world, has committed an unpardonable fault. It has dared to be dissatisfied with tho existing in dustrial condition.

Wo have transferred our homage from hereditary kings and moneyed princes We are no less revorcnt than tho common people of old, but we now do homage, not to men, but to new ideas and tho spirit of progress. There is ono class whom we mortally offend. Unfortunately it Is a large and influential class. It labels itself "conservative." Tho trm s n. convenient one and like charity, it covers a multitude of sins. To bo frank the conservative is the man or woman who finds it too much an effort to think. They accept their idea ready made, and, bles3 you, how con venient it is. Of course, ready-mado ideas, like ready-made clothes, are sometimes a mis-lit lht tho owner of either commodity is usually the last one to find it out The conserva tive is sure that our institutions have always been and always will bo per fect, and therefore eternal. In adopting this argumont ho forgets that it arrogates to purely human institutions attributes usually assigned to the Creator.

DuCamp's visit to thank t.V com mittee for getting her liusbanA's term of imprisonment shortened, because in his absence the burden of the sup port of a large family of children was more than sho could carry; another came to thank the committee for fur nishing her hus' -nd with re pectable clothes and assisting him to get work, thus partially relieving her of the sup port of tho family. It was a:i extremely busincss-liko place. The name of every ex-prisoner and the main facts of her history, and all the work of the association, wero recorded in registers. Amid ho much that was strictly practical and useful the visitor was struck with one seem ingly incongruous object It was a beautiful white funeral wreath, with imitation of pearl pendants. - "What is that for?" he asked. "The wreath? That is for one of our prisoners who now is working in a good place," explained the manager.
