"Now, my boy," said Mr. Jenks, the Superintendent% "after ail I have told you, I want to give you a bit of warning: If you want any C oandy, eat all you want in the store, - but never take a piece away unless you pay for it. So with everything else. Remember that in business b strict honesty must be observed." I had been in the store for some week., selling anything from self binders to matches-for the store was e the only one in the village-when one day a man came slouching in and b asked for the "boss." There was t nothing striking about him. His race impressed me as being two-thirds f covered by a tawny beard, and his dark, uncombed hair hung down over his eyes, contrasting disagreeably with his dusty complexion. A loose cotton shirt, drawn into wrinkles by t half a suspender supporting a pair of patched "overalls," with a pair of s heavy-soled shoes, identified the man as one of the poor farmers of the plain north of the village. To the "boss" l he explained that three years ago he bad traded his 2-year-old calf for a colt, and that the colt was now a horse, and that a uple of days ago 1 be had taded his second cow for an- B other horse. Now, having two horses, it he had a mowing machine, d he could do his own harvesting very t quickly, and then he could mow his ne ghbor's fields "on shares," and thus pay for the mower. Could the boss let him have a mower and iay for it in the fall? He had never gone into debt so heavily before, and he knew it was a risk, but he thought. he could do it, and then his Billy was awfully smart-he had terned his letters already, and he was only six. f he tould make a little money with t the mower he could buy Billy boots and a coat to go to school in the vii lage. I thought the man grew faintly t animated as he spoke ot Billy. Evi dently he was making the &reatest speculation of his life for Billy's edu cation. The result was that when he drove home a mower was tied to the hal-dozen boards on four blockt wheels which were his wagon, and the same d'ay I entered in the day book of the store: "June 3d, Eph raim Goodnow, to one mower, SoO., Three months at 1 per cent.i monthiy." Sept. 15 had passed, and Ephraim Godnow had not paid any of the three bills for $61.80 sent him. Mr. Jenks, therefore, sent his assistant to collect the bill, saying that in such a bad year, when all the crops had railed, the store could not afford to have outstanding accounts. But the assistant reported that Goodnow had no money wherewith to pay the bill, and the only way to colleet it was to tae his wheat-and at the present t low rate and the poor year it would E tae nearly his whole stock-or his I horses, which were worth about $.0 C each.; '-Well," said Mr. Jenks, "I need a couple of horses to hurry on the har~ vesing. Go up to Goodnow to-mor4 C row and take his horses. I'll give I him sixty dollars for the span. If he t objects-well, we can collect it Dy law." The afternoon of the next day ( then, the assistant and I started out to cross the prairie to the hills, I twenty miles away, where Goodnow ' lived. The ride across the prairie s did anything but cheer our spirits. I N~earing the foothills, the grass grew: scantier and the sand ridges more frequent, and the prairie dogs from C their mounds barked at us every few ~ stes. A glistening green enake ( crawled slowly around a sagebush. I Toward sunset we reached Good now's home. Home! A hole about four feet deep had been dr~g in the ground and covered with untrimmed poles meeting at right angles. The po.esB had been covered with dry branches I and these with earth. One gable was waled nD with branches and earth'C like the roof, while the other was I closed with sawed boards in which was a door Two panes of glass, set with out a frame in the boards and held in place by a nail at each side, served for windows. To one side of the "dug out/' poles had been planteli in the ground and covered with willows and straw and earth-that was the stable for the horses and the cow.( The cow, thin at the sides, was tied to a post under the shed, and a woman dressed in a dirty yellow I gown was milking her. Back of the "house" was a sand pile, wh ., two half-naked childrer, were ing handfuls of sand at each from the inside of the house tought 1 beard the wail of a babygec Goodnow was just coming in fro his day's work, Cdriving his horses be fore his mowing machine.

N{EW YORK .JoUENAL: The Increase of crimes of violence during a heated term like that through which we are now passing cannot fail to suggest to the student of social science the multiplication of comfortgIving ap 1iances-anid notably of fresh water ind cooling shade--as agencies likely tdiminish the number of murders and suicides. If poor people could find more comfort at home they would not flock together into places in which bad drink, added to the abnord mial excitement produced by the high temperature, soon deprives them of caution and urges them to violence.

THERE Is apparently no limit to the accommodating spirit of our col lege authorities when the under graduates show that they really mean business.'One of Yale's crack sprint ers was dropped recently because he paid more attention to athletics than he did to his studies.

On ne of the horses rode a 1,ttle white aired boy, about 5 or t, dressed in a irty shirt and a short pair of pan ts ,u.u wa., i e up vhi e.; Lear.y > the waist-it was Billy. Near he shed the horses stopped, and Illy, with his little hands, struck' is horse on the neck and cried, Whoa, whoa, Jacic, whoa," and the orse, seemingly well pleased, put is ears forward and turned his headi ) get a look at his lit le friend. While the assistant was talk ng tn oodnow I went up to the boy and lid: '-Hello, Billy." He lo ied at me with a pair ot lue dancingc eyes and answered very arrectly: "Hello, sir." "You can read, can't you, Billy?" continued. At that he grew excited and cried, 'Mamma, mamma, I can read, an't The mother, who had heard my uestion, and whose greatest delight 'as Billy's accomplishments, < uit lIking the cow, ran down into the ouse and brought out a little tat-. -red book of two or three do.en ages. To my surprise it was the re tains of a copy of Luther's Smaller atechism. Resting the book on the llar of the horse on which he sat, illy read distinctly from the first re aining page, aFor of one blood ath God made all men," and with at hesitancy the whole of Luther's omment. As he ended Goodnow came up and xplained to his wife the object of ur visit. He had offered to give ack tVe mower and one horse for ae use of it-without a horse he iust carry his wood fifteen miles, -om the mountains, and carry his theat to the mill, which was as far way. But the assistant had in isted on the horses or his wheat e food for the winter-and had breatened court proceedings. "iou see. mother," the farmer aid, "I s pose Billy can't go to school his winter." I thought his voice was a little usky as he spoke. The wife and iother said nothing, but their eyes led with tears. The big boy, with; lenched hands, leaned against the ow useless mower. and looked Lraight at us while we led the horses way, while tears cut furrows in the! irt on his face. The little ones of. he sandpile also began to under.: Land what was going on, and howled ud ?olled in the sand. Little Billy it dazed upon the around where he ad been lifted from the horse. hen we tied the hArses to "ur raon he ran to his mother and hid is face in her key; crying, not loud ut piteoisly: "Mamma, they're, Ling away my Jack-mam :.a, iamma." Goodnow cleared his brot. The sun must have been >w, for. I saw his eyes glisteu. I, :o, felt something moving up my roat until I could not speak. "Damme," said the assistant when' re bad driven over the prairie for, )me time, "that was a fine piece of rork. in the city these horses will ring $100 any day."

Bishop Wilberforce was noted for he variety of his speeches and ser aons. even when they all treated of ne same subject. His addresses at onirmation and at missionary meect ngs were remarkable for their varia-: ions on the same themes. A friend rho had heard him speak, day after ay for several weeks, in behalf of he Society for the Propagation of he Gospel, expressed his surprise hat he could treat the same subject such a variety of ways. The elo uent preacher re plied: "1 owe my facility mainly to my ather. He t oic pains to form in ze the habit of speaking. Hie would ee to It that Ithoroughly acquainted yself with a given subject, and then e iuire me to speak on it, with out Lotes, and trusting to the inspiration 'f the moment for suitable words. his practice strengthenied my mem ry and c Itivated the power o: entally arranging and dividing ? ubjet" The Earl of Chatham trained his' oi, William ratt, in a similar way.

Training School at r Christ Church, p Twenty-Fourth d Street and Michi Avenue. Sixty m e m b e rs of the t graduating c l a s., t beard the address, t the subject of c whiclh was "A Typ cal Young Man." t As a pre:ude. to his remarks. BishoT s Cheney quoted the passage of scrip- I ture: 'And entering into the sepul. p cher they saw a young man sitting e on the right side clothed in a long & white garment." "Warburton, the oriental trav. t eler," be said, "relates how in the 1 threshold of a wretched Arab hovel he t recognized an exquisite sculpture of t the ancient Greeks. Alexander the Great might have fea-ted his eyes t upon its beauty, but dug fro:m the a ruins of some ancient palace or tem- , p e the rare specimen of art was trid. a den by the bare feet of the Bedouin, with no thought of its priceless value. Such has been the fate )f the passage to which your attention is dl- 1 rected this afternoon. I am not a b heresy hunter, b!:t there is one preva b lent heresy which deserves only re- , morseless exti-pation. It is the d noti .n that a young man cannot be c pure in heart. It teaches him who b is first going out to face the terrible d temptations of ea ly life that he 1 may as well let the current sweep p him down stream. It asserts that a all young men are destitute of the d ve y quality without which no man c shall see God. t ".he noblest specimen of youthful e manliness is manhood robed In white. r I have hea d purity of the heart com- t pared to a diamond. But the illus- n tration falls short, You may polish a the gem till it becomes the sanctu. t ary of a sunheam, but you cannot ( make a diamond grow. No human q power can develop or increase its u size. - "Do rothing or think nothing," 1 concluded the Bishop, "that you t could not tell a pure, good woman. I bid you God-speed as you go out to our life work. I am here to com mend to you no womanish virtues; no feminine sentiveness of nature. I a plead for a true and nobie manhoo:d, n and to be such no qualities are so es- s ential as reverence and purity. Personal Religion. t "The moral conduct of man is m rality; the i~er ept~on of the in. iuite is theology; the union of the - wo is religion. He comes t~o per eive in the law of God his ideal. If he sees honor, truth, p)urity, benevo. ence, and says, 'these are the ac. uisitou I want to obtain,' th n his religion is no longer a law, it is an ideal. When a man gets beyond the point of doing what society, or what God requires, when he reaches the point of doing the right bcause it is the right, he has taken a forward y step toward the promised land; he he has got beyond Mt Sinai.I "'God,' said a little child, 'is something we like and something we c want to be like." jut there Is sonmc- ( thing even beyond this. When one f has come to have the divine idleal he begins to have the divine point of view. He comes to look at life from5 the spiritual, not from the temporal ~ and terre-trial side. lHe looks now upon his enemy a:, one more to be condoned than to he tonguered. He desires to relieve human misery. He wh> gets so near to God that he can see somewhat from God's own point of view stands so near to GoJl that he can see flimi in his own soul. "The life of Gol in the soul of I man is not the specialprisIlege of a rclu-e; it belongs to all humanity. The artisan, the lawyer, the mer chant who realizes this ideal in his C daily life, comes nearer to God. The biker who puts alum in his bread in S place of flour: the preacher who sub- i stitutes l,opularity for truth. are C both rec:eanits together. P'ersonal t religion is (I) hearing and ob ying I God's voice (2) taking Him as our ideal (1) seeking to b.e fille 1 with e His~ spirit. There is only one way in which God can manifest Himself to ( man, and that is through man.
