from the Path of Sobriety Responsible for the Union of Two Fond Hearts Brother-in-Law Wao Hasty A city clergyman tells this story cf a marriage in his church which happened through a misunderstand ing According to him there was a bachelor whdse affections seemed to be centered in his sisters young sons and daughters There was an inter esting young woman of another city who rarely came to New York and he was such a very busy man that he seldom got out of town to see her As a result the sisters children were enough to make him dally in his courtship It happened that the brother-in-law in the case who sometimes envied the bachelor because he could stay out late heard dreadful noises in the house early one morning It could not be a burglar because they do not fall down stairs and disturb the house with hiccoughs Distressed at his brother-in-laws condition but hopeful that he would break his neck the master of the house went to sleep again In the morning he entered the room of his brother-in-law in order to berate him The astonishment of the bach elor was great and his anger was greater He had come home early and sober it seemed to him that he could not live in the house any long er under the circumstances and he left too mad to talk to his relatives After breakfast at a restaurant he went to the hotel where the young woman from out-of-town happened to be He was so impetuous in his woo ing that they were married that day Among those who were at the cere mony were the sister and brother-in-law The latter was very humble and explained that on going down to his breakfast he had been confronted by the butler who had been many years in the family but who was dropping the plates singing in a maudlin way and acting in any way but that of a model butler When the brother-in- law asked the butler for an explana tion of his condition he confessed that on his evening off he had seen friends so many and so often that he had come home in such a condition that he had fallen down stairs several times on his way to his room The brother-in-law has employed the discharged butler A Doubtful Compliment Poultney Bigelow who has accept ed the chair of foreign relations at Boston university had completed an address before the Twentieth Cen tury club of Chicago A young man congratulated Mr Bigelow rather awkwardly on this address and the learned traveler replied This is a doubtful compliment It reminds me of a remark that a friend of the grooms mad at a New Hamp shire wedding This friend an observant chap watched the groom closely during the ceremony and at the end bore down on the happy man shook him warmly by the hand and said Bill ye done good I had an idee ye would be skittish while yewuz be bein tied up but begosh ye looked as bold as a sheep Washington Post First Printing Office in America There is among compositors and other employes of printing offices in the city of Mexico a project to place a big marble slab at the corner of Mone da and Cerrada de Santa Teresa streets opposite the postofficewith an inscription in gold letters reading that it was in this house where the first printing office in America was established A commission will soon request the city council to give this ceremony an official character Delegations of com positors are now inviting all members of the fraternity to contribute for the expense to be incurred If money enough is raised in addition to the plate a marble or bronze bust of Gut tenberg will be placed at the corner Mexican Herald When the Clock Ticks Loud There are times when life is something more than meat and drink ana sleep When the surface shows no ripple though the stream is swift and deep When the goods thats in the worst of us has taken us in tor And has fanned loves fading embers till they flash again and glow When we feel theres something In us has escaped the madding crowd When its auiet in the evening and the clock ticks loud When the grate fircr crimson afterglow Is graying into gloom WThen theres none but she and you with in that cozy little room When the cat upon the hearth rug yawns and drifts atrain to dreams Then how very like the heaven we have learned to long for seems That delightful little chamber with the magic charm endowed When its quiet in the evening and the oock ticks loud Not n word to break the stillness yet theres music in the air Music born of softest silence music sweet and low and rare For the one who sits beside you is your sweetheart and you know That she loves you for she wed you many patient years ago And her love songs born of silence make vou brave and trreat and proud When its quiet in the evening and the clock ticks lotil W Gillilan In New York- Times Proud of Her Ancestry Mrs Gertrude Atherton although well known as an author is said to have considerable more pride in the fact that her great grandfather was a brother of Benjamin Franklin than in her own popularity as a writer She has been in England so long as to al most become Anglacized but has late ly confessed to a veritable case of homesickness and may revisit IN AS MUCH la What He said Jn a low whisper looking up she sala I am so hungry do not turn away Give me one penny please to buy soma bread For I have eaten nothing all this day The upturned face and whisper soft and low Plead with a power that would not be denied And as she snolec her pale lips trembling so Crushd In an instant all my selfish pride She sits beside me years With angel face in these happier tho still a child in lorm And when shoprays I hear thro grate ful tears Her thanks to Him who shelters from the storm Twenty one years ago three little children were suddenly bereft of father and mother they were friend less and homeless but it was only one of the many similar instances happening every day only three lit tle children left friendless and home less that was all But it was a cru cial moment in at least one life Rev J G Lemen was at that time pastor of a large church in Council Bluffs la This man whose heart was large enough to find a place for every un fortunate one took these children into his own home where thej shar ed the same loving tender care that was bestowed upon his own little ones It was not long before he learn ed of other children who had been left to the cold mercies of a selfish world Moved with compassion he took these also to his already over crowded home Then came the test money was needed He had a few thousand dollars which he had saved up for a rainy day He little knew what the Master had in store for him but he was obedient and when the news came that other little ones had been left alone fatherless and motherless with no one to care for them and the command came to take these also to the ordinary man with his house filled to overflowing and a large congregation looking to him to be fed spiritually it would have seemed like an impossibility not so however with this man it was enough for him to know that his Mas ter approved of it and bid him to do it As he stepped out upon His promises and obeyed the command to 20 forward the way opened before him and when he had exhausted his own competency never doubting but that a way would be opened to supply their needs He who owns the cattle upon a thousand hills moved upon the hearts of His faithful subjects to send of their substance that these little homeless ones might be cared for Larger quarters became neces sary and they were secured Other children were left homeless and found under his roof not only cheltor from the storm -but a loving tender father as all at tne Home delight to call him and more than this in his sainted wife now deceased who pre sided over the household affairs and was continually looking after their welfare From a small beginning twenty one years ago the Christian Home has grown until now about two hundred and fifteen children are cared for there and two thousand have been placed in good Christian families The real estate consists of about twenty five cottages and other build ings all owned by an organization r which has been formed through the ef forts of Mr Lemen with a view of making it a permanent organization Mr and Mrs Lemen have been blessed with four lovely children three sons and one daughter Ail of them take great delight in the work of the Home and on them no doubt the mantle of their father and moth er will fall The oldest son is giv ing his entire life to this work also The scrupulous neatness and order that pervades the entire institution the loving salutation of Hello papa that rings out from every quarter as he passes about the grounds and the remarkable execu tive ability he displays in all the management of the affairs of the Home are sufficient to impress every visitor that it is no ordinary man who has been called to this great and noble work Children are taken here from any part of the globe and have the best possible care and training You my readers wherever you may be may have a part in this grand work It is a labor of love in behalf of all homeless suffering children everywhere The children are fre quently adopted by Christian people but are never allowed to go from the Home excepting into Christian fami lies who are properly vouched for The Christian Home is non sectarian but is heartily indorsed and support ed by alllenominations It takes child ren from every state and it is not a local affair but belongs to the world We have given this brief descrip tion of the Christian Home with the hope that all who read it will become interested in its welfare If you have money which the Master desires you to use for such purposes send it to this Home There is no institution that is mere worthy of your gift than this They publish a valuable paper

left Why dont you too get married before it is too late Oh said the bachelor with a chuckle there are still plenty of good fish in the sea But the bait said I isnt there danger of the bait becom ing stale Spencer in Russia Tolstoi in acknowledging the re ceipt of a copy of Herbert Spencers autobiography confessed that he did not like the English philosopher be cause he had little heart But that

which nihilism springs Probably no single philosopher has exerted a wider influence on Russia which has not as yet produced much in the way of philosophy that is origi nal Soldier Defended His Curls
