Indeed It was tho tin soldier, who
Rtood on his little shelf looking out
of tho window, who first reminded
Bob of the loneliness nnd discomfort
of the coin. As u rule whenever the
conscience of the hoy wns touched
Mr. Hloggs had something tto sny.
It wns late In Fehruury nnd every
one whs complaining of the cold. Even
the oldest Inhabitants of Hlngvllli
could not recall so severe n winter.
Many families were short of fuel. The
homes of the working folic were In
sufllclently heated. Money In the hank
had given them a sense of security.
They could not believe that Its magic
power would fall to bring them what
they needed. So they had been care
less of their allowance of wood and
coal. There wen days when they
had none nnd could get none nt the
ynrd. Some men with hundreds of
dollars In the bank wont out Into the
country tit night and stole rails off
the farmers' fences. The homes of
these unfortunate people, were .rav
aged by Inlluonzn nnd many died.
I'rlcos at the stores mounted higher.
Most of tho gardens had been lying
Idle. The farmers had found It hard
to get help. Some of the latter, In
deed, had decided that they could
nmko morn by teaming at Mlllerton
'than by lolling In the fields, and with
less effort. They left the boys and
tho women to do what they could with
the crops. Naturally the latter were
small. So the local sources of supply
had llttlo to offer and the demand up
on the stores steadily Increased. Cer
tain of the merchnnts had been, In a
way, spoiled by prosperity. Thev were
rather Indifferent to complaints and
demands. Many of tho storekeepers,
Irritated, doubtless, by overwork, had
lost their former politeness. There
wore days when supplies failed to ar
rive. The railroad service had been
had enough In times of peace. Now,
It was worse than ever.
Those who hnd plenty of money
found It dlfllcult to get a sufllclont
(innntlty of good food, Blngvllle he
Ing rather cut off from other centers
of life by distance and a poor railroad.
Some drove sixty miles to Hazolnicad
to do marketing for themselves and
their neighbors.
Mr. and Mrs. J. Patterson Illng.
however, In their luxurious npartment
nt tho Waldorf-Astoria hotel In New
York, knew little of these conditions
until Mr. Illng enmc up late In Mnrch
for a talk with the mill superintend
ent. Many of the sick and poor suf
fered extreme privation. Father O'Noll
nnd (he Iteverentl Otis Singleton of
the Congicgntlonal church went
among the jx-ople. ministering to the
sick," of whom there were many, nnd
giving counsel to men and women
who were unaccustomed to prosperity
ntitl 111-q.imllflcd wisely to enjoy It.
One ilav, Father O'Nell saw the Wid
ow Moran coming Into town with a
great bundle of fagots on her back.
"This looks a llttlo like the old conn
try," ho remarked.
She stopped and swung her fngols
to tho ground and nnnounced: "It do
that an' may God help us I It's hard
times, Father. In splto o' nil the mon
ey, It's hard times. It looks like there
wasn't enough to go 'round the ships
ho tukln' so many things to the old
country."
"How Is my beloved Shepherd?" tho
good Fatlior asked.
"Mother o' God I The house Is thnt
cold, he's been Inyln abed for n week
an' Judgo Crooker has been nwny on
tho circuit."
"Too bad!" said tho priest. "I've
been so busy with tho sick and tho
dying and tho dead I lmve hardly had
time to think of you."
Against her protest he picked up
the fngots nnd carried them on his
own bnclc to her kitchen.
lie found the Shepherd In a sweater
ulttlng up In bed nnd knitting socks.
"How Is my dear boy?" tho good Fa
ther asked,
MRU
"Very sad," said tho Shepherd. "I
wnut to do something to help and my '
legs are useless."
"Courage 1" Mr. Bloggs Roomed to
shout from his shelf nt the window
side and Just then ho assumed a most
valiant and determined look as he
added: "Forward! march I"
Father O'Nell did what lie could to
help In that moment of peril by say
ing :
"Cheer up, boy. I'm going out to
Dan Mulllu'.s thin afternoon nnd I'll
make him bring you a big lond of
wood. I'll havo you at your work to
morrow. The spring will bo coming
soon and your Hock will be bnck in
the garden."
It wns not easy to bring n smile to
tho faco of the little Shepherd those
days. A number of his friends had
tiled and others were side and ho was
helplesH. Moreover, his mother had
told him of the disappearance of Pau
line and that hor parents feared she
was In great trouble. This had wor
ried him, and tho more becauso his
mother hnd declared that tho girl was
probably worse than dead. Ho could
not quite understand It and his happy
spirit was clouded. Tho good Father
cheered him with merry Jests. Near,
the end of tiielr talk tho hoy said:
"There's one thing In this room thnt
makes me unhappy. It's thnt gold
piece In tho drawer. It docs nothing
but He there atid shiver nnd tall; to
me. Seems ns If It complained of tho
cold. It says that It wants to move
around and get warm. Every time
I hear of some poor person that needs
food or fuel, It calls out to mo there

Father Asked.

er wishes me to keep It for some time
of trouble that may como to us, hut
I can't. It makes me unhappy. Please
tako It nwny nnd let It do whnt It can
to keep the poor people wnrin."
"Well done, hoys!" Mr. Bloggs
seemed to say with a look of Joy as If
he now perceived that tho enemy was
In full retreat.
"There's no worse compnny, these
days, than a hoarded coin," said the
priest. "I won't let it plague you any
more."
Father O'Nell took tho coin from
the drawer. It fell from his lingers
with n merry laugh as It hounded on
the lloor and whirled toward the door
way like one overjoyed and eager to
he off.
"God bless you, my hoy! May It
buy for you tho dearest wish of your
heart."
"11a! hal" laughed tho llttlo tin
soldier, for ho knew tho dearest wish
of the boy far better than tho priest
knew It.
Mr. Singleton called soon after Fa
ther O'Nell hnd gone nwny.
"The top of the morning to you!"
ho shouted, as ho came Into Hob's
room.
"It's all right top and bottom," Hob
answered cheerfully.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
the minister went on. "I'm a regular
Santa Clans this morning. I'vo got n
thousnnd dollnrs that Mr. Illng sent
me. It's for any one that needs help."
"We'll bo all right as soon as our
load of wood comes. It will bo hero
tomorrow morning," snld tho Shop
herd. "I'll como nnd cut nnd spilt It with
you," tho minister proposed. "Tho
elocpienco of tho nx Is better thnn
thnt of tho tonguo theso days. Mean
while I'm going to bring you n llttlo
Jag In my wheelbnrrow. How nbout
beefsteak . nnd bncon nnd eggs nnd

"I guess we'vo got enough to eat,
thnnlc you." This wns not quite true,
for Dob, thinking of tho sick, whoso
people could not go to ninrkct, wns
Inclined to hide his own hunger.
"Ho. hoi" exclaimed Mr. Bloggs, for
bo know very well thnt the boy whb
hiding his hunger.
"Do you cnll that n He?" tho Shep
herd asked ns soon ns tho minister
had gone.
"A llttlo onot Hut In my opinion It
don't count," said Mr. Hloggs. "You
were thinking of those who need food
moro than you and that turns It square
around. I call It a golden lie I do."
Tho minister had scarcely turned
tho corner of tho street, when he mot
Illrnm Hlenklnsop, who was shivering
along without an overcoat, tho dog
Christmas at his heels.
Mr. Singleton stopped him.
"Why, man I Haven't you nn over,
coat?" ho asked.
"No, sir! It's hangln' on a peg In n
pawnshop over In Hazelmoad. It ain't
doln' tho peg nny good nor me
neither!"
"Well, sir, you conic with mo," snld
tho minister.1" "It's nbout dinner time,
anyway, and I guess you need lining
as well as covering."
Tho drunkard looked Into tho faco
of tho minister.
"Say It ng'ln," he muttered.
"I wouldn't wonder If a little food
would make you feel better," Mr. Sin
gleton nddod.
"A little, did you sny?" Blouklnsop
usked.
"Make It n lot ns much ns you
enn nccommodntc."
"And do you menn thnt ye want mo
to go an' eat In yer house?"
"Yes, at my table why not?"
"It wouldn't bo respectable. I don't
want to he too particular, hut n tramp
must drnw tho line somewhere."
"I'll ho on my best behavior. Como
on," said tho minister.
The two men hastened up the strcot
followed by tho dejected llttlo yellow
dog, Christmas.
Mrs. Singleton nnd her daughter
wore out with n committee of the
children's helpers nnd tho minister
wns dining nlone thnt dny nnd, ns
usuul, nt ono o'clock, that being tho
hour for dinner In tho village of Blng
vllle. "Tell mo about yourself," snld tho
minister as they snt down nt tho ta
ble. "Myself did you sny?" Illrnm Hlen
klnsop asked as ono of his feet crept
under his chair to conceal its disrepu
tnbltf nppenrnnce, while his dog hnd
pnrtly hidden himself under n serving
tnblo where ho seemed to bo shivering
with npprebenslon as he peered out,
with raised hackles, at tho stag's head
over the mantel.
"Yes."
"I ain't got nny Self, sir; It's nil
gone," snld Hlenklnsop, ns he took a
swallow of water.
A man without nny Self Is n curl,
ous creuturo," tho minister remarked.
"I'm ns empty ns n woodpecker's
hole In tho winter time. The bird hns
flown. I belong to this cro dog. He's
n poor dog. I'm nil he's got. If ho
hnd to pny n license on me I'd have
to be killed. He's kind to mo. He's
the only friend I've got."
Hiram Hlenklnsop riveted his atten
tion upon an old wnrmlng-pan that
hung by the fireplace. He hardly looked
at tho faco of tho minister.
"How did you como to lose your
Self?" the latter asked.
"Married a bad woman nnd took to
drink. A mnn's Self can stand cold
an' hunger an' shipwreck an' loss o
friends nn' money nn' nny quantity

bod woman breaks the works In him
nn' stops his clock dead. Leastways,
It dontt thnt to me I"
"She Is like an nrrow In his liver,"
the minister quoted. "Mr. Hlenklnsop,
where do you stay nights."
"I've a shake-down In tho llttlo loft

"No. I couldn't take the dog then

"Would you think that a hardship?'

Makinj; Education Chrlstlun.
I. The Excellency of Wisdom (Prov.
B:i:ms).
Let no man confuse this "wisdom"
with the so-called wisdom resultliiR
from an education In the arts, sciences
and philosophy taught in the modern
colleges and universities. The way to
havo this It) Its true sense Is to get
It from the Hlble, Coil's revealed Word
(Psu. 1U):1)S-1()0). Wisdom personi
fied means Christ (Prov. 8). All real
wisdom leads to Christ, who is madu
unto us wisdom, righteousness, and
sanctlllcatlon (I Cor. 1:30). Wisdom
Is desirable because:
I. Of Its inherent qualities (vv. 13
lfi). (1) "Hotter than the merchan
dise of sliver ant! tho gain of gold '
(v. M). Men set great value upon
these, but they are corruptible and
shall soon pass ttway. ('-') "Moro
precious thnn rubles" (v. lfj). Though
among tho most valuable among the
precious stones, the ruby Is of sec
ondary value when compared with tho
wisdom of God. (3) Of Immeasurable
value (v. lit). Tho best things that
the human heart can desire urc not
worthy to compare In value unto wis
dom. ". It ministers to our earthly wel
fare (vv. 10-18). (1) "Length of days
is in her right hand" (v. 1(5). Godli
ness tends to long life. (12) "In her
left hand riches und honor" (v. 10).
"Itlches and honor" may not always
be according to the world's standard.
(3) "Her wnys are ways of pleasant
ness" (v. 17). The notion that the life
of the Christian Is hard and that
pleasure does not enter Into his experi
ence Is all wrong. The way of the
transgressor Is hard (Prov. 13:15).
Godliness Is profitable unto all things,
having the promise of the life that now
Is and of thnt which is to como (I
Tim. 4:8). (4) "All hor paths are
pence" (v. 17). There Is no peace to
the wicked. "Tho wicked nrc like the
troubled sea when It ennnot rest, whose
waters cast up mire and dirt (Isa.
57:20. 21). (5) "She Is a tree of life
to them that lay hold upon her" (v.
18). Thosv who eat of the tree of
life. Christ, have eternal life ((Jen.
3:22; ch. John 0:03. (0) "Happy Is
everyone that retalneth her" (v. 18).
The only true happiness that can he
hnd Is In laying hold on wisdom lit
God's Word.
II. Israels Responsibility With Ref
erence to the Statutes of the Lord
(I)eut. 0:4-1)).
1. Central truths to be taught (vv.
4, 5). (1) Unity of God. "The Lord
our God Is ono Lord." This wns a
testimony against the polytheism of
that day. He Is God alone, therefore
to worship another Is sin. (2) Man's
supreme obligation (v. 5). God should
be loved with all the heart, soul, and
might, because He Is God alone.
2. How these truths are to bo kept
alive (vv 00). The place for God's
Word Is In the heart. In order that It
may be In tho heart (1) "teach dili
gently to thy children" (v. 7). The
most Important part of .a child's edu
cation Is that given in tho Word of
God. (21 Tall: of them In the home
(v. 7). How blessed Is that home
where God's Word Is the topic of con
versation. (3) Talk of them when
walking with our children and friends
(v. 7). (4) Talk of them when re
tiring for tho night (v. 7). The last
thing urn which the mind should rest
before going to sleep should bo God
und His truth. (5) Talk of them
when rising In the morning (v. 7).
How lilting thnt God should speak to
us the llrst thing when wo awake. (0)
Hind them upon thlno hand (v. 8).
This was literally done hy the .lews.
(7) Write them upon the posts of tho
house and on the gates (v. 8).
III. The Growth of Jesus (Luke
2:52).
1. Bodily stature. Being renlly hu
man, His bodily size nnd strength In
crease.. 2. Increased In wisdom. His montnl
equipment enlarged ns nny normal hu
man being. His fountain of knowledge
Increased as He came In contact with
men nnd tho world.
3. In favor with God nnd mnn. Ills
Innnto perfection nnd beauty more and

MEETING OF EAST AND WEST
Peculiar Circumstances Under Which
American Physician Treated In-
mato of Persian Harem.
One day n great-aunt of the shah
tent a note to tho dispeiisury, ask
ing mo to visit her daughter, who wns
III, writes Mary W. Grlscom, in Asia
Magazine. Her messenger conduct
ed my Armenian nurse, who acted as
Interpreter, and mo through the gar
den, with Its fruit trees and decora
tive shrubs and marble pool, into the
women's quarter. A servant coienio
nlously arranged two green velvet
armchairs In the exact center of tho
room for tho mother and me.
Soon all the women of, the household
gathered around us, for a visit from
n foreign woman doctor was u most
entertaining diversion in the monot
onous domestic routine. The patient
entered dramatically at the proper mo
ment and sank Into a luxurious pllo
of brocaded cushions beside the kursl
(table), which was covered with white
velvet stenciled In black. A samo
var of hot water was -carried In, and
two servants brought a silver basin
und poured out the water from a slen
der silver urn for me to wash my
hands. Then the patient lay down
on tho kursl that 1 might examine
her, and till her nttendnnts crowded
around her and excitedly and vocifer
ously urged hor to bo bravo and not
to worry, until such a pandemonium
was raised that I could not hear tho
interpreter or my own voice.
When they quieted down and I
found It possible to proceed with the
examination I continued It. .1 wns of
fered tho ""silver hnsln again, and
served with tea and sweet cakes,
while I discussed the case. 1 decided
that an operation was necessary.
A few days later an operating tnblo
wns brought Into tho house. In a largo
reception room, tho floor of which was
covered with the most beautiful rugs
1 bad ever seen, the operation was
performed. The doctor who had ar
ranged for me to visit the Persian lady
was asked whether I would rather1
have u fee or n carpet, nnd It wns do
Vjided tjjnt Jjyouk prefer a carpet. A
few days later when I called on tho
patient, she told me that she had sent
her agent to the bazaar to buy mo a
cariHit, and he had returned with word
that there was no carpet In all the
bazaar honorable enough for the lady
doctor. So she Invited me to select
from her induce any rug that pleased
me. My protestations were futile. I
hud to wander through the great
rooms, followed by a procession com
posed of the Indies of the household,
the attendants and sen-ants, and find
nn honorable enrpet. I examined them
all nnd selected a lovely Kurdistan rug
with an old-rose background and green
border. This was promptly rolled up
hy the servant and carried to tho pa
tient, who said that I must have been
accustomed to line carpets all my life,
for I had chosen the rarest rug In her
possession. I was much embarrassed
and tried to refuse the too princely
gift, but she Insisted that I must have
It and I carried on to America my
most exquisite memory of Persia.
Oh, What a Tangled Web.
I was visiting In tho country ono
summer, and did not bring a wrap.
One night It was quite cold, nnd n
friend of mine came to take me for n
drive. I was anxious to make a good
Impression. Ho Insisted that I wear
a coat. I said I did not need one..
He wns so persistent that flnnlly I
told him it friend had borrowed my
coat. Then he Insisted that we go
straight after It. So oil we started
for the girl's home. I ran up tho
stnlrs to her room, resolved that If her
coat was not In her room I would
stay there rather than como down
without It. It was there, however,
and I took It and ran downstairs. Wo
didn't get out of tho yard soon enough
for me, for I was nfrnld some of the
family would see us, and there would
be an explanation due. CJilcugo Trib

Using Waste Gas.
Much of our natural gns In this
country Is wasted because tho wells
nrc too far from Industrial centers or
their output too small. This Is par
tlculnrly the enso In Louisiana. Texas,
Wyoming and parts of California.
Tho United States bureau of mines
has been studying tho possibilities of
utilizing this waste gas for the pro
duction of chloroform nnd other chem
icals of value, such as carbon tetra
chloride and methyl chloride. The con
clusions drawn are highly favorable.
Use of tho gas for these products
would bo restricted to "dry" gases,
which aro of no vnluo for yielding
gasoline. For tho tho Intter purpose
"wet" gases from wells In isolated
places ure profitably available.
