With one os ?> ?;>'. i'>;i, tho members of
tho Baxter household wcro honest aucl
upright. Though lifo hud hi en hoiiic
tbing of it strngglo with them since Mr.
Boxtcr'a death, they had met their
trials bravely, and nftor each day of
struggling, when night settled down
over the little weather beaten houso
under tho tall cotton wood tree, they
could go to rest with tho simple satis*
fuotion of feeling that they had dono
their best
Tho day was fast approaching when,
the time of reside nee required by tho
government having been fulfilled, the
bomestead cluim Would bo their own.
Their small crops, cultivated as well us
a boy whose will perhaps was greater
than his ability could cultivate them,
wero sufficient for their modest needs,
and if their moans wero scanty their
wants wero carefully kept down to
them.
Thoy owed no ono. They bated no
'ono unlos it might bo Indian Jim, tho
Worthless half breed whoso chief fond
ness WOS for dirt, bogging and stealing,
throe things that the Baxter?, with ono
exception, ubominated. They feared no
one, except perhaps Home of tho pomp
oust, straight hacked officers of tho prui
rio military post of Fort Beal, three
miles nwny, and of these tho younger
Baxters, with tho same singlo excep
tion, stood moro in awe than fear.
Mrs. Baxter was a quiet, painstaking
woman, who worked hard to make both
ends meet in the humble household.
Dohby was an old mannish chap who
did his best to fill his father's place.
And little Martha was faithful at hor
tusks, holping at the dish washing,
mending and sweeping, and dropped
seeds for Dobby'a planting, fod tho
chickens and assisted at whatever else
her hands found to do.
But there was one inmate of the little
weather beaten house who, though evi
dently considering himself one of the
family, took no caro to omulato the
probity that marked their daily life,
and apparently feared neither tho law
nor tho commandments. This wan Li
jer, who was far from being saintly in
spite of tho patrinrchinl name ho bore,
a doubtful sort of complimont to tho
Bihlo story of Elijah and tho ruvons. As
Dohby did not know the names of any
of tho ravens, ho compromised and did
tho next best thing by calling the littlo
crow Elijah.
From tho very first; Lijcr's appearance
was against him. Even when actuated
by as good intentions as over a crow
hud, ho looked tho rascal. When Dohby
took him from tho parent nest, an ugly,
almost feathorless little wretch, his most
prominent attribute, liko that of a
scoundrelly lawyer, was his bill.
His voice at that timo was u harsh,
complaining "whauruk," and his do
light, lioxt to eating, seemed to bo in
exercising it as near continually as pos
sible. Ho was a shameless gormandizer
oven when ao small that ho could .searoo
ly wabblo about, and the only way to
quiet his cries and his appetite was to
stuff him so full of dough that for the
timo being he was past all wabbling.
Ono day, when half grown, ho was
caught by tho old rooster in tho net of
stealing dough from the chickens and
set upon and so severely drubbed beforo
Dohby could come to the rescue that ono
of his legs was broken. This healed rap
Idly, hut in a fashion that oausod him
to forever after walk with a swnggor
that made h im look all tho more rascally.
As ho progressed to full grown crow
hood ho developed more queer villainies
than it seemed possible for his small
brain to father. In the matter of voice,
whatever Lijer lacked in quality ho
made up in quantity. Besides the
"caw," common to all crows, ho ac
quired various notes and modulations
ezpressivo of wrath, impatience, satis
faction and delight, and what might
have been called a kind of laugh, a
harsh, strich ut "whoor-hoor-ha-n-al"
At feeding times, when his rations of
dough and meat scraps were placed to
foro him, he scorned tho soul of liberal
ity to tho guileless chicks who would
gather, a half fearful and always hun
gry circle, about him. Lijer would as
sure t hem of his pacific intentions by
sundry clucks and murmurhlgs and
a look of total harmlcssncss that would
entico the boldest of thom to tho feast.
Ho would appear tho model host till a
chicken got just whero ho wanted him,
Poor Tyler ?prang ?/> with a terrible
howl.
and then tho crow would givo him such
a whack with his big bill that it was i>
wonder that tho victim's unsuspicious
brains were not knocked out, and with
a great sllOUt und (lapping send the
chicks scuttling away as if for (bar life.
This was repeated many times, tho
chicken . never seeming to acquire wis
dom by sad oxporionoo, even the unfor
tunate who had been nearly scalped oil
tho previous day appenring to have for
gotten already whero ho got his sort
head.
Lijer scorned to derive much satisfac
tion from enticing the passing wild
crows to the homestead by seductive and
inviting cnws from tho top of the tall
cottonwcod and then treating his guests
very shabbily. When several of thom
would gather within hearing distance,
ho would ha.angue them loudly, por
haps upon tho error of their ways. Tho
"visitors, with heads (itilt. would listen
with solemn intoului ss as if to tho words
of an oracle, and tho lecture would go
en till the appenrunco of some one from
tbo houso would frighten tho strangers
?way, whon the patriarch in tho troo
top would send after thom a dorisive
a imn tnief was Lijer. It seemed that
it thorowas an honest bono in Ida black
body it must bo a very small ono. It
was believed by the Baxters that tho
only filings snffl from his dishonest bill
wero thoso ho large and heavy that they
wero beyond his ability to lug off. For
. metal Objects, especially If they wore
bright, ho hud tho greatest liking. .Mrs.
Baxter's thimbh would disappear, to ho
perhaps found in soino odd cmer or
orovico. Spools of thread wero to bo dis
covered poked into the bedding, in the
kindling box, behind tin wash bench,
out of doors undor big chips and good
new knows whero else.
Part of a paper of taoka loft carelessly
about ouo day ntlraofotl Lljor'a atten
tion, nnd ho mado a number of trips be
tween it and tho broud spongo that Mrs.
Baxtor had. loft ou tho tablo all ? '
for Uio Ovou when a neighbor droppea
in. AtU t the departdro of the oa'ler the
boosewife-fcastiJy liirust the broad into
the oven without noticing anything un
usual ahont it. Upon getting the loaf at
supper (tbo was ndonished to find one
cud of it pkutifully studded with tacks.
Lijcr dearly loved to get at a well
filled piucushiou, from which bo would
cxtruot the pins one by one nnd thrust
them into sjiiio convenient roceptaclo.
One night after the prophet, unbeknown
to any one, had rohhod tho pincushion
Dobby was considerably surprised, if
not delighted, to find, upon going to
hed, his pillow carofully bestuok with
pins.
One winter's day old Mr. Hanson
"?orta drapped in," aa bo expressed it,
and was sitting hosido the stovo retail
ing tbo scanty gossip of tho neighbor
hood, whilo his dog, fuithful Tyler, was
comfortably curled up hoforo the fire.
Lijcr was swaggering nhout looking for
an opportunity for displaying bis pooul
iur talents when a livo coal popped
out of tho grato. Like a flash ho aunp
ped it up in his hard hill and inserted it
into tho dog's car. Poor Tyler spraug
up with u terrible howl and dashed bo
twoon tho legs of his muster, wiio had
just risen to take Iiis departure, noarly
standing tho old gentleman on his
head, and sprang out of tho door, collid
ing with Dobby, who was just bringing
in a hucket of water. Tho bucket went
flying, half drenching tho hoy, and tho
dog BOUttlod away, yelping mournfully,
followed by Lijer's triumphant " wboor
hoor-ha-a-ul"
But, in spite of all his villainies, Lijor
had one redeemhig trait. This was Iiis
fondness for Dobby, whom ho loved with
all his rascally littlo heart. It was Dob
by who had fed him when ho was a
helpless gormaudaud resoued him from
the rooster and hound up his broken log
und nursed him tenderly. It was Dobby
who saved him from many unpleasant
scrapes, usually brought upon himself
by his own rascality, and it was Dobby,
too, who petted him and pranked with
him, and it was upon Dobby that ho lav
ished till tho affection that was in him.
Ho would swagger around after the
boy at his tasks, investigating every
where, sticking his nose into everything,
often hindering sadly whilo apparently
intending to ho helpful, nud all the timo
murmuring to Iiis master in crow lau
guuge. He seeuiod to deem nothing too
good for Dobby, and often when tho lud
was sitting quietly tho crow would hop
up into his lap and pop into n pocket or
a fold of his jucket onu of Iiis choicest
steals and then back away as proud as a
peacock when Dobby found and accepted
the gift, usually some small article that
had been missing from tho houso and
accordingly charged to Lijer, though
porhaps no one had soon him steal it.
And when tired of pranking tho crow
liked to hop up on Dobby's shoulder
and mutter and mumble iu bis ear and
then drop oil: to sleep with his head
against the boy's cheek.
One September day tho Baxters wore
thrown Into a flutUr of excitement by
tho coming in a most unexpected fash
ion of visitors from tho fort. Miss Er
nestine Bossiter of Chiongo had lotoly
heoomo the guest of Colonel nnd Mrs.
Oonkliu, nnd several times the house
hold under the tall cottouwood had seen
the stately beauty rido by, a member of
an equestrian party from tho post. To
day her escort was blond mustnebed and
oycglaS8Cd Lieutenant Lemon, jusl from
West Point, a gentleman of apparently
tremendous importuuce in Iiis own mind.
How it cauio about does not matter,
but when a little way from tho Baxter
homestead tho lady's horse stumbled,
giving her a painful and most ungrace
ful tumble, bruising her somewhat aud
giving her dignity a sad shock. This
was truly unfortunate, for upon this
particular day she had arrayed herself
with unusual euro for tho purpose of
impressing tho oflieor.
That gentleman etimo gallantly to tho
rescue and supported her tenderly to the
house, wheroMrs. Baxter, in a high state
of llutteruient, did her host to adminis
ter to the needs of her unexpected guest.
The lady's shoulder was abraded and
lamed und one of her hands considerably
1 raised. Mrs. Baxter was ready with
linen cloths and homemade liniment,
Dobby thoughtfully brought a pitcher
of cool water from the spring, nnd little
Martha rendered what assistance luy
within bor power.
Miss Bossiter was almost astonished
wheu Mrs. Baxter refused payment fur
her kindness and seemed half hurt that
it had been offered. These prairie people
were hardly barbarians, after all, tho
lady decided. Even the lieutenant, to
whom she whisporod this, agreed with
her ami was almost gracious to Dobby
and Martha, who stood in manifest awe
of this very important appearing officer,
who walked ns erect as if he had swal
lowed a poker whole and had as yet
failed to digest it.
So busy Was Dobby with his helpful
liens that ho forgot to wonder what had
becomo of Lijer and what rascality
might bo keeping him out of sight.
Presently the quests wore ready tc
depart, and they had almost reached tbt
door, I ho lady clinging to the ofllcer'f
arm, when sho gave a little cry of re
membrane,' ?
"My diamond ring! I placed it on
the little stand near the window whet:
my hand was about to bo bandaged."
But the ring was not t hero I Mrs. Bax
ter looked carefully about the floor, but
no ring appeared.
"I?I"? she began, lo ikiufl worried
and half frightened.
"I placed It there," said Miss Bos
siter. "It hau been Btoleul"
"Do you mean that"?
"It has been stolenI" roprntrd the
visitor. "I feel sum that boy stole it!'
"I nover! I nevcrl" criod Dobby. Tin
idoa of thus boiug accused set his hon
'rite prophet uttered a fet uic "whootjioor
hit-nti!"
est heart to heating Wildly. "I didn't
soo your ring at all, ma'am!"
"You must havo loeu it when yon
placed tho pitchorof water on tho stand
and"?
"But I didn't," protested Dobb}'.
" 'Deed an double, I didn't!"
And tho pompous appearing ofTlcoi
looked into tho bid's honcHt, troubled
face find felt that ho told tho truth.
"Mirs Bossiter," ho bogan, "isn't it
possible"?
'?No, sir!" interrupted that lady do
oldodly. "That boy stolo my ring, nnd
if ho does iiotroturn it instantly ho must
be arrested."
"I didn't, 'deed an doable"?
Little Martha burst into a how) of
fear. A rough looking wan was just
stepping in at the open doorway.
"Oh. Mr. Oaab, yoo won't arrest
Dobby?" cried the ebild. "Please dou'tl" j
" 'Rest Dobby?" snorted tho uewooin- I
er. "Waal, I reckon cat I Sorter dropped ]
in to eoo if you folks bad nodloed Injun
Jim Buoakin ycrabouts. Ho"?
"Arj you an officer?" questioned Miss
Rossi ter.
"Yes, mom?oonstuble. Name'sOasb.
What"?
"Arrest that boy," the lady com
manded, "auless he instantly returns
my diamond ring, which ho has Just stol
en!"
"Ob, don't arrest Dobby I Please
dou'tl" cried littlo Martha.
"My boy would not stoal," said Mrs.
Baxter bravely. ' 'Dobby is a good boy."
Her obiu quivored as she spoke. Lit
tlo Martha was almost choking with
subs, and Dobby was very oloso to the
crying point. The idea of being arrested
seemed very terriblo to these honest
souls.
Tho lieutenant looked several times
as if on tho point of sponkiug, but ro
frniued. Miss Rossitcr was tho guest of
bis coinu anding officer and must not be
offended.
"Mom," began the constablo, "I
don't reckon Dobby'd"?
"Will you or will you not arrest him?"
interrupted the lady impatieutly.
"I a'pose I'll haf to," admitted tho
constablo reluctantly, "if you luako a
complaint, but you'll haf to go buforo
Squire Asbburn. But I don't beliove"?
"What you bolievo or do not boliovo
has nothing to do witli tiio oase. Tbo
ring must bo returned at ouco, or"?
"I haven't got it!" cried Dobby.
"Thou it muHt bo paid fori Itcost
my father $260, and"?
"Wolmvouo monoy"?began poor
Mrs. Baxter.
"Mr. Constable, doyonrdutyl Theno
people"?
And thou there was wailing in tho
littlo w cut her beat on houso. Martha Just
simply howled, Mrs. Baxtor brokodowu,
and oven Dobby sniffed a littlo.
"I'll haf to do niyduty, Dobby, "said
tho constable. "But I don't beliova
yon'ro guilty."
"Neither do I," said tho straight
backed lioutouaut suddenly.
Tbure was n fluttering sound at the
door, and Lijor, tho prophet, staggered
in, looking as if be bad boon very hard
ly used. Somo of his foatbers were out,
aud others lookod as if tboy had boon
rufllud tho wrong way. One wing
dragged as if broken, and as bo Btag
gored foobly ncroHS tho room to Dobby
lio left a few spots of blood on the floor.
At tho boy's feet ho stopped, unahlo to
hop into his lap, but he held up bis bill,
and in it glistened tho lost diamond
riug. Ah Dobby took tho jewel the proph
ot utterod a feeble "whoor-hoor-ha
a-al" of satisfaction and settled down
on the floor ooiupletoly exhausted.
"My ringl" cried Miss Rosalter.
"How"?
skimpy Jackson and little Joo Rizdon
slid in at the opou door.
"Wo'vo bruug buck tho lady's boss,"
Kuid tho foremost. "He's tied out to tho
fence, an I reokon it's worth 'bout a
bailor dollar, boin's wo'vo bo'n chasin
him for the hist half hour."
"Oil, you'vo got Lijerl" said tbo oth
er as soou as tho first speaker bud con
cluded. "Wo told Injun Jim if bo didn't
lot tbo crow alono we'd teil Mr. Cash
on him!"
"What do you mean?"
"Waal, while wo was chasin tbo boss
*ve saw Injun Jim sneak away from
?oro an Lijor tlyln along after him. The
Injun took to tho gully in a little while,
an wo couldn't see him, but Lijer kept
flyin along above as if follcrin him."
Tho boy proceeded that, owing to
their attention being taken np with tho
horHe, thoy bad forgotten the crow for a
few minutes. When they looked again,
they saw him fly our of a thicket and
aliglit iu tho top OS a small tree. Then
the. Indian appeared, and they saw him
fire a shot from hin revolver at Lijer
and saw the prophet tumble from his
porch and alight in tbo big fork oT tho
tree, high above tho Indian's bead.
They shouted tho threat to inform Mr.
Cash, which seemed to frighten tbo In
dian, for he plunged into the gully and
disappeared. As soon aH they captured
tho horse it was their intention to go
with Dobby to tho resouo of tho crow.
Beforo tho story was done Constable
Cash had rushod away in pursuit of In
jun Jim.
"Theexplanation is simple," said tho
straight backed lieutenant. "The half
breed, in sneaking toward tho gully,
approached tbo house and looked in at
thu window iu hope that there might, be
an opportunity to steal something and
discovered and took tho ring. The crow,
guided perhaps by subtle intelligence,
followed him und an the Indian stopped
to gloat over I119 prizo in tho gully
SWOOpod down and snatched it away
from him. Who will say that bo was
not a hero in dragging his broken wing
all tliis long way homo, enduring all
this agovy that ho might Jay bin trophy
at his master's feet?"
??Lieutenant," said MiM Rosslter
shortly, "wo must go. Mrs. Baxter,
how much do I own you for tho incon
venience 1 have caused you?"
"Nothing," answered Dobby'fl moth
er. "Monoy cannot pay for suffering.
Good by!"
Skimpy and Joo followed tho lady and
tho officers out to tho horses. Prcseutly
Skimpy eamo back.
"When tho woman wasn't lookhi,"
ho said, "that pompous feller handed
mo this an whispered for 1110 to givo it
to Dobby."
"This" was n bright goldpieco.
That was last autumn. Lijer's broken
wing healed long ago, but it droops a
little, making him look 111 ovo rakish
und rascally than ever.
TUB BND,
The Good Samaritan
Mr. Moody, atonoof lito recent meet
ings in Now York, r ?? ' tho storv of
"Tho Good Samari r.nd t 1 n
said :
It's a good thing to take a parable
like this and look ii frtraltfbt In the
face. Who is our ndphb ir? 1 don't
think wo nocd anyon ? lo oxplain that.
It's pretty plain, butfomo of uh h<\vr>
been protty long H iding i' nut, uinl
nio-st of us haven't f-j.?rd on; vet,
Many a man has .? im? to New York
and been shipwroi ked and fallen
amongst thlovcs. RntoctImos tbey
havo killed him Or th-y did that
gcntloman from C) rndo <th r
Ouy, but. more often t! > ??? have only
wounded him. 1 regret . < sny that
th ro aro many pO'Cftlled Christians
who will see a man indl<?m - >md won't
help him bocaono ho down*! belong to
their parish. s- in<> ministers a?*o the
i-a ??e way.
Tho trouble with such <.? that their
religion is all up in their bead: if, n< v r
struck Into their hearts a? all. They
havo tho big bead and the little heart.
Lots of men aro head heavy. They'd
topple, over backwards if they stood up
too straight.
In tho parable, tho firct man that
came along was tho priest. Ho was
probably on bis way to hold somo sor
vlco at tho Templo. When bo saw tho
wounded man he probably soldi "That
man Is badly hurt, but 1 can't stop to
attend to him for ho Is not In my
parish. If ho wcro I'd certainly como
to him as soon as I had seen the com
mittee about lt." And be passed on.
I pity those men who are always wait
ing for a committee to appoint them.
B?rau y arg ago, thero wai a rann In
thin town who lived near tho North
River, and iu the afternoon of a cold
winter's tiny he htaid a o??n ?? III g
for help who baJ fallen through the
ice. He i-at In bis Louse aud heard
the mac cry over and over ajjalr-.and
did nothing to help him, but let bim
drown. The next day the people learn
ed about It and they drove that cruel,
heartless man out of town.
That was right, wasn't it?
Oh, it was? Then look ut yourselves
and see what you aro doing. Are you
not doing worse than he did In letting
that fellow drown? All around you in
Now Yoik cried for help aro being
beard, and you aro parsing by ou tho
other side.
You say when you 6eo a man in dis
tress, "Oh, how I pity him."
I wouldn't glvo tho snap of my linger
for the pity that does not help him to
get up agufn.
Tho next ono tbat camo along tho
road was the Lovito. Ho was a sort of
church warduu, a steward. The wound
ed man lay about one hundred yards
away when the Lovlto saw him. Ho
had another turn of mind. Ho said :
"It's dreadful that a man can't take a
slmplo littlo journey in broad daylight
w'thout being molested by robbers.
When I pot back to the cty ill see
Pilate and have an act passed by the
legislature to appoint a committee to
guard tbe reads, and very likely my
name will be put at. the le ad of it. It's
a great shame." And be passed on.
There's a Christianity of woik* as
well as of words. Words are cheap. We
can get carloads of line sermoUf, but
what we wunt is Bormone with hands
ubd feet on them. Enough beautiful
BermODS aro preached to convert tho
wl ole city.
The next person tbat came along was
tho Samaritan. 1 can see h's cheerful
BUliliog faco as be stooped to help the
Buffering man and bathe hi* wounds
aud pour oil in them, borne carry oil
to pour in tho wounds of those they
meet. A good many more carry vine
gar, and they always givo you vinegar.
Don't bo liko them.
That Jew wau sick and wounded,
and that good Samaritan put him on
hi* beu-t and wi nt afoot himself. He
took him to an inn. Ho fednhim, and
lolt money to pay for his beard until ho
returued.
Don't ask mo t he creed of that Sama
ritan. 1 don't know hie* creed. S'mie
people uro ro particular about creeds.
I tell you that any creed tout %vi11
prompt you to put your arm under an
other man and help him up to God is a
grand creed.
Tho Jews bated the Samaritans.
Don't condemn them. Lots of us are
jiit-t as bad ourselves. I've sat in u ear
and seen an Irish woman pull her
skirts away from a colored woman who
sat beside her, and a few minutes
later I've seen tiie colored woman pull
ber Bklrte ?v ay from a Chinaman.
Why, there are men in ibis city who
will tell you that a Chinaman hasn't
any soul.
A few years ago I was in San Fran
Cisco, passing along the street, " hen I
saw a hoodlum grab a Chinaman by
the queue and pull him o^er backward
and kick him and beat him horribly.
I interfered, and the hoodlum looked
at me, and p dd : " What, you lake tbe
part of a Chinaman, a miserable deg ?'
and ho pulled a knife on me, an 1 1
cam near losing my life.
If wc had more good Samaritans
there would he an end to the cry of
capital and labor. There would bo
happier homes, too, for thero would b
more good fellowship in tho world.
You ladies with your carriag suou'd
preach sermon all around tho city by
taking the poor to drive.
I don't believe thero's a man in New
York who can't be reached by love
and kindness. We've got. to have a
difftreutbty'.o o.' preaobiug to lift fiis
world up. A little kindness goes a
great way. Try it.
Never look fov gratitude and you'il
never bo disappointed.
1 remember the. ilr.-t good Samaritan
I ever met. I wa-* sent away from
home when I was i?hnut eight years
old, to do cherts on .'.farm and goto
hohool. 1 was feeling terribly lone
Bomo and honu h'.i k when an old man
met me and pave mo u cent; not one of
tho little cents ?o have now, but a big
eoppe/ one, and that encoura od mo
and made mo feel good.
How can we get into sympathy with
people. Do you wan*, to know the
receipt? Put yourself in the other
man's place.
God taught me. a lesson once uUnig
that Hue which I hope He will Dover
havo occasion to repeat. In Chicago
during tho Summer I bad a mission
Sabbath-school with 1,600 scholars.
Tho season win hot and the i hlldren
died rapidly. I officiated at three aud
four funeral services a day, and got so
used to it that I repeated the Service
mechanically.
Ono day 1 received word that a
mother wanted me to go to her house
as her little girl was drowned. Taking
my four-year-old Emma I went and
reached tho home.
It was a drunkard's home. The
father satin one corner tipsy, while
the poor mother hung over the body
of her child, which had ju-t been
br. ught in from tho river and lay
drippitg on a dirty pine table. She
had no money to bury the child, and I
stood there taking the measurement
for the Bbroud aud COfllo, whilo the
mother stood at my side weeping.
I left tho house carrying my own
littlo girl in my arms. After we had
gone a iittlo way sho said, "Papa, sup
pose mamma ar.d you were very poor,
and I had to go out to tho river < very
day to pick up wood, and one day I
reached out too far and fell In, would
you feel bad?" I strained the child, to
my heart, and Bald : " Yes, darling, I
should." "Did.von feel bad for that
mother, papa?" she eski d.
Ah, that wiis putting it in a new
light. I hurried home with my own
child, and then hastened buck to ti.a*
mother. I wept with her. I ivad
God's precious promises. I told hi r ol
the beautiful homo where her oul d
had gone, and when I left that m ?b >
hud dried her tears. The nex tiny I
weit soveu miles to tho gra\ -.var?
with her and saw her little out laid lu
a paupor's crave.
That wa9 tho last of my Suudav
school s' bolars 'hat ever wa< lab uwaj
In a pauiif i'grave. I io!d thi it'\v\ at
mj Si untie cbool, and, poor .-s inv
pupil.* wi re, we raised monvy nouj ii
to purchase a plot containing fifty
gravi p, and u? tin y were fill. J an itbtr
lot v es purchased.
Wo wunt good Samaritans with a
practical kind of sympathy. T'iere's
a lot of a cheap kind of Christianity
now. A man is always willing to help
if it doesn't cost h'nn anything.
Cot rid oftbat sort of stuff and get
into the kind of sympathy with your
follow.being tbat will show him that
you ovi hhti ar.d feel for him.
TIIjIiMAN hunts autographs.
An in ir i ne. Scene in GiO United
States Hcnitto.
In the United Slates Senate on the
10th inst., Senator Tillman called up
i.bn bill limiting tho offect of tho
F fit nil laws on the Ho,"or traffic so as
to glvo oach sint..- absolute coutrol of

Mr Platt (R^p. C >nn.) thought it
was a measure re quiring an explana

explain In ch-tail. He said tho bill was
designed to give each State tho right
to control tho liquor traffic in Its own
way without Interference from tho
Federal judiciary or any other source.
A recent decision of the United Statos
Supremo Court In tho South Carolina
Dispensary ci?o had praoMeally an
nulled that part of the Wilson law
Fiermlttlog Stato regulation of tho
iquor traffic,
Mr. Tillman said tbat to any ono but
Highest of all in Leavening Power.?Latest TJ. S. Gov't Report
ABSOLUTELY PURE
i ??__?,?,
a hair-splitting lawyer tho present
i luw would be sufficient, but in view
of the Supremo Court decision, tho
amendments bad been considered
necessary. Tbo amendments were
roado to meet the objections of tho
various courts eo as to allow tbe States
to exorcise police control of foreign
made liquor in tho States as well as of
homo made liquors.
Mr. Mills opposed tbo bill ub a stop
I backward, allowing, as it does, inter
I b ronco with tntcrbtato commerce,
i He considered it a very dangerous prc
i cedent.
I Mr. Vest aleo opposed it on tho same
ground. Ho said tbe efleet of tbo bill
I would he a more radical interference
i with tommeroe between the States
? than wits the Wilt-on bill for a similar
: purpose
I Mr. Tiliman taid tho object of the
i hill was simply to prevent tho laying
j of a conduit for tho importation of
j liquor.
Continuing', Mr. Vest said ho thought
j the Supremo Court hud gone much
i further tbau it could properly havo
, dono under tho Constitution in pro*
j hibiting the importation of liquor,
j Tbe effect ol the bill would bo to con
tine people to the purchaso of only
! liquors manufactured in their own
Siate. The bill was, he paid, intended
to maintain the Soutb Curolinu mono
poly und. r lb Di-pens iry law.
"I openly confess that to bo tho ob
Ijcct," eald Mr. Tiliman? "Throe
fourths of our people havo oxproused
their support of the principle."
Tho Washington cor respondent of
the News and Courier describes the
novel method uciopted by Sonator
Tili man to win friends for his measure:
Senator Tiliman is having great dif
ficulty in convincing the Senate tbat
bio bill to override the Supreme Court's
recent decision in the dispensary ease
is a meritorious measure. Ho mudu
another t gort to pass his bill to-day
buforo tho Semite proceeded to the
House to count tho electoral vote, but
ho was vigorously opposed bj Senators
Mills, Ve.-t and others. Tho Senate is
not Inclined to overturn a dceioion of
the Supreme Court to gratify the per*
: sonal umottions ami political aims of
Senator Til I man, and bis b.ll will pro
bably fail even if it is evor pressed to a
veto.
Senator Tiliman has bit upon auovol
Boheme to expedite tho pasbage of his
bill, but i" will bar- ly succeed. He
iiui tried to the hest of his limited
ability to Invoke tbe ti ne-bonorcd and
generali) respeotud ''Senatorial cour
tesy " in be hull of his measure. Hav
ing falied upon that line, he is now
app aiing lo '?Senatorial vanity" to
push his pet project successfully along,
tie euibavorod to play upon "Sena
torial vanity" by procuring an auto
graph album and inviting Senators to
write their names in his nook.
There is a rule of the Senate which
prohibits employees of that body from
soliciting autographs during tho ses
sion of tho Senate. The business used
to be carried on to a large extent until
oertatn Senators, like Oonkllng, Ed
mund?, Bayard and others, deoiared
it was a nuisance and directed tho
BCrgeaut-at-arms to have the practice
discontinued.
Tiiiman commenced operations on
tho Democratic side with Senator
Tttrplc, of Indiana, and Senator Bate,
of Tennessee. S-.v< r tl other Demo
crats wore thus enrolled by the South
Carolinian He paused ;ir.d looked
across the aisle lo the !<? publican Bide,
and there sat Senators Hoar, of Massa
chusetts, Sherman, of Ohio, aud Alli
son, of Iowa?all big ui n, but also
strict oon.itruotlonists as to the rules
of tho Sonate, and hard men to ap
proach at any lime or place. Senator
Tiliman g.-.'/.*'.d intently at Hoar for a
lew minuiesand scratched hia h< ad as
if afraid to go up against tho Massa
chusetts monitor of the (Senate, who
read hia colleagues such a severe lec
ture yesterday about betraying the
secrets ol i xceutlvo sessions.
" He's going to tackle Hoar," ex
claim*, done of the newspaper reporters,
who was watching tbo performance
from tbo gallery.
The South Carolina Senator wiped
both corners of bis mouth with the
ends of his Angers and started directly
for Senator Hoar. Taking a seat he
side tbo Senator from Massachusetts
Senator Tillman first presented the
autograph album, and indicated wboro
ho would like to havo tho Senator's
signature The latter ? blushed and
looked confused, but Tillman was por
histent. A littlo good-natured chain ng
ensued, but tho result was that Till
man obtained tho autograph, and also
took occasion to say a good word for
his dispensary bill. His next victim was
Senator Allison, tho most modest man
in natlonnl poliiios. He blushed liko
a schoolgirl when approaehed by Till
man, und looked as though ho would
like to cover bis fuco with bis hands to
hido his evor-ready blushes. Finully
ho placed his well-rounded signature
in the book, and Tillman lingered long
enough b> his sido to drop a few sug
gestions about tho dispensary bill.
Dowu lu the frout row sat Senator
Sherman, tho distinguished chuirman
of the committee on foreign relations
and tho ne xt. Secretary of State. Till
man eyed tho great Oh loan cautiously
circled around him two or three times
and was about to go back to the Demo
cratic side without tho covetoJ auto
graph. However, ho muetored up all
his Palmetto courage and went timid
ly up behind tho usually cold and re
pcllant Senator from Ohio.
1 '"Great Scott I'' exclaimed one of
i the watchers. " See him go for Sher
I man. It will bo interesting to see
j Leng John glvo him the frozen hand."
I Senator Tillman took a seat boside
I Mr. Sherman, opened the t>ook at the
j appropriate place and invited him to
i sign. Senator She/man looked sur
i prised and seemed disposed to deny
tho request. Tillman said something
j to him. and immediately a satislied
; smilo played over the features of the
I coming Seeretury of State. He slowly
! reached for a pen, wroto his name
I with great care and handed the book
j back to Tillman. Oao word led to ao
| other, and soon Sherman and Tillman
i woro in warmest conversation over tho
merits and the demerits of the South
I Carolina dispensary law.
?Sorosis has started a war in be
half of the birds ; but the fact prevails
that a bird in the hat is worth two in
the hush.
