The bonds are dated January 1st, .1906, and the interest is payable July and January. Church News. Rev. Peter Stokes, the deservedly popular pastor of the Methodist church, is giving his large congregations some rare treats. One of the beautiful points about his sermons is their simplicity; every little child cannot fail to grasp their full meaning. He is now delivering a series sermons, at the Sunday evening service, upon the subject of "The Prodigal Son." These are extremely interesting and help, ful, and no one should miss them. Rev. Stokes has also introduced a new feature into the Wednesday evening prayermeeting, which makes that service unusually interesting. Those who do not take advantage of these services, are missing that which they can ill afford to lose, for one cannot hear them without j deriving immeasurable benefit therefrom.

STEUGGLED LONG FOE EDUCATION Befriended by Boss Stonvscmtter, Colombia University Student Pays No Rent For Coop In Stone Yard?Sleeps on Bed of Bare Planks, Often Witboot Fire, For Economy's Sake?Has Bnilt Table and Rack For His Books. Too poor to pay for the cheapest furnished room in New York, A. L/Carter, twenty-four years old, a student in the law school of Columbia university, is living in a stonecutter's tool shed within a few paces of the university buildings, says the New York World. His abode stands in a stone yard on One Hundred and Nineteenth street near Amsterdam avenue. It is nine feet long, eight feet wide and seven feet high. The sides and roof ^re composed of one layer of pine boards covered externally with tar paper, which keeps out the rain. There is a sad little window looking over the rocks to the north. The only means of heating the place is an oil stove, usually flameless to economize fuel. Here the young man, grimly resolved to fit himself for the law, pursues his studies. Last August young Carter arrived in iNew iorx rrom uoiumoia, 310., a graduate of the State University of Missouri, where he had gone through a four years' course. During those four years and ever since he was sixteen years old he and poverty had been inseparable companions. At the university he supported himself by doing all kinds of odd jobs.* Thrown upon his own resources by the death of his parents when he was sixteen, he became a book agent in Marsha lltown, la., where he was born. He earned enough selliDg books to enable him to live while a student in a local normal school and to pay his preliminary expenses in the University of Missouri. When graduated from that institution New York called him, and he made his way there. Beyond a liberal supply of good health, determination and plnck he arrived in New York with barely enough to pay his matriculation fee at the law school At first he took a humble bedroom in a house at. 108 West One Hundred and Sixth street, but, failing to get work, he had to give this up. He hunted in vain for a room at $1 a week, which was all the expense he dared to incur. A friend in Missouri bad obtained for him a position as night librarian in the Columbia law library at a small salary, but his duties and pay would not begin until the college term opened. It was then August One day Carter's eye lit (Mi the tool shed. The proprietor of the stone yard is William Algie, a man of big stature, and, as the poor student found, big also of heart He was overseeing his men at work when Carter approached. "I would like to hire that little house," said the student to the boss stonecutter.. "That house!" laughed Mr. Algie; "it's a tool shed. What do you want it for?" "To live in." "Well, now, it wouldn't do at all for you," returned Mr. Algie, surveying the tall, neatly attired stranger. "Oh, yes, it would," the other said. "Wheur 'a fellow is poor, is a student and has made up his mind to push ahead, any old place will do to live in. I'll give you a dollar a week for it" . The stonecutter, puzzled, shook .his aeaa. xiu was uuuuic iu wiu^icucuu why this young man was willing to live in such a dreary coop. "Let me have it," pleaded Carter. "I can't affofd anything better." "All right," said Mr. Algie at last, "but not for a dollar a week. You can have it for nothing." And nothing is the rent that the student has been paying since last August As soon as he got possession he began to put his house in order. He built a wide, sloping shelf on one side, and this is his bed. It is of bare planks, and a thin blanket and some old coats are his only covering. "Why he doesn't freeze to death I don't know," said Mr. Algie. "But when one is young he can stand most anything. Still, I don't think he could have stood some of those cold nights we've had if?well, if I had not put nanap nn tho AtlMdA." Ulai uu u? ?v. ? Mr. Algle 1b proud of bis student He If fond of thinking of him along with Lincoln's career from a log cabin to the White House and Garfield's similar journey from the towpath. Carter has built himself a table and racks for his books. Some of the volumes that looked down from their rude perch the other day were "Burdick on Sales," "Gray on Property" and "Lawson on Contracts." In other respects there are signs of a student's den, but the place j Is Indeed a wretched abode. "And yet," the brave tenant said, "It might be worse. I might not be able to live at all and go on with my stud- ! les. So far as the necessities go, the list Is very small. Of course I wouldn't live here if I could do better. But I can't, and there you are." Hobby of Norway's New Queen. Queen Maud of .Norway has her hob111-a mnst other European royal ties, says M. A. P. Among the many I things she has collected at various times are miscellaneous ornaments and useful articles made of Ivory, of which she is a great admirer. She has also for years collected ivory tusks, the spoils of royal sporting expeditions all over the world, and these will doubtless be added to when her brother, the Prince of Wales, returns from his Indian tour. ? -^'0: Jfolk's store! i || IS FILLED FROM CELLAR TO GARRET S |J WITH BARGAINS FOR HIS CUSTOMERS I III ]N"ever before has such a magnificent line jjj| been so attractively displayed in Bamberg.
