from one prison to the other, and with
great sense of relief deposited the
chair and Its tightly bound prisoner
upon the stone floor of the entrance
hall of the woman’s ward. The little
Quakeress appeared and said at once,
’Loose the women.’ ’Why,’ moiled
the wardens who had conveyed her
there, ‘-ve dare not; sho fights like-a
wild animal. Our live* and yours,
too, would be In danger.’ it took sev

little Quakeress, and, yielding to her
gentle determination, but with watch

ery bond had been removed the
Quakeress suddenly threw her arms
about the woman’s neck nnd kissed
her. Thero was an Instantaneous
transformation. The whole aspect
of the savage nrisoner changed,, she
burst Into n Hood of tears and sunk
helpless to the floor. From that mo
ment until the hour of her release she
never gave any one any trouble."
Patience and kindly persistence are

The Psalmist prayed, "Let intBg-

Solomon, the wise man, said, “A good
' name la rather to be chosen than great

f such’j.aulborltative sources put a pre
mium on honor.
Our qutStlon touches the vast and
Impressive principle at the point of
departure. We are dealing with life
in Its formative period. The school
L age is the most Impressionable age
of human life, and early influences
■ stamp the soul. The patient Is the
'child. The disease has been diag
nosed by our skillful superintendent.
His appeal to us for a remedy Is sin
cere and urgent. It Is not his bus
iness merely, but your business, my
business. In a heart to heart talk I
hope we may be constrained to a
sense of our personal responsibility.
Let me say there Is a question of
vast and menacing proportions. Per
ish the thought that any of us should
foolishly tako the position that they
are Just children, and we can over
look their failures; they will outgrow
their crookedness. Observation has
sadly but thoroughly convinced me
that there Is no virtue In tho sow
ing of wild oats. As a rule, those who
sow wild oats reap no other harvest.
I have never been able to subscribe
ft to the Illogical nnd pernicious theory
that the way to make a man Is to en
courage p child to test the reality and
power of evil. You might aa well say
the .way to keep a child from being
blown to pieces is to place tn his
hands a match and a keg of gunpow
der. The way to prevent murder and
homicide Is to license every man to
_ carry a pistol, and see that he 'dili
gently uses It. A crooked twig makes
a crooked tree. "Tho boy is- father
to the man.” With few or nojexcep-
tlona, those who are now llvlnff.of my
school companions arc now distin
guished, or extinguished, by the same
principles which they exposed in
those earlier days. The lessons taught
the child by precept and example are
'of vast importance for time and eter
nity.
Now, wo all know that there Is a
vast difference In children. Various
causes, perhaps, account for this dif
ference. Heredity has something to
It. Environment has some-
to do with It. But these do not

the foes and friends of Christianity.
Broadly speaking, Christian education
la tfie great problem. Industrial edu
cation la good, but not sufficient. In
tellectual education la good, but hot
sufficient. We need the education of
head, hand and heart—-a blessed and
inseparable trinity—the head to di
rect, the hand to execute and the heart
to Inspire.
I rejoloe that our public schools are
dominated In large measure by men
and women of character and purpose.
We need an awakening on the Scrip
tural places of the homes In our Chris
tian civilization. Here there Is oppor
tunity for a life that can bo meas
ured only by the eternal years of God.
I often think if parents were just as
systematic In their home training of
children as they are in business there
would be fewer hearts broken because
of wayward boys and ungrateful girls.
There would bo fewer Davids lament
ing for lost Absaloms. It takes all of
God's grace and parents' good Influ-
eenco and fervent prayers to keep the
child steered straight for heaven. The
boy and girl need all the contempt
for sin and dishonor that early piety
can give them. The pressure Is so
great that the need a mighty start
in the right direction to keep them
from trying the wrong.
God's best gift, next to Christ, Is a
Christian mother. Not only her own
children, but poets, sages, philoso
phers, rise up and call her blessed.
Her Influence Is stamped on civiliza
tion. Her precepts are registered In
the hearts of her children. Her hand
and head and heart are seen and felt

would urge upon parents and
teachers the value of gentleness In
dealing with the erring children. "Bet

The following Incident Is related
by another;
"In a Northern prison there was a
criminal woman who had driven the
jailer and wardens almost to despair.
She had been placed In solitary con
finement; had been tied and bound
but whenever she was free she fought
like a tigress with all who came near
her. In another prison there was a
little Quaker woman, who aa matron,
had the reputation of being very an;

prisoners. The despairing men de
termined that the virago on tLelr
hands should be transferred to that
prison. With Immense difficulty they

REV. H. G. GRI8WOLD IS DEAD
A Former Pastor of the Presbyterian
Church at Quitman.
Cordele, Ga„ Jjl n - 26.—Per. Henry
G. Griswold, age 47 years, pastor of
the First Presbyterian church bore,
and one of .the beat known mlnlateri
in South Georgia, died at 11 o’clock
last night at his home on Twelfth
avenue, of pneumonia.
Ur. Griswold's death was expected
from noon yesterday. Two weeks ago
he contracted a severe attack Of la
grippe, which ran Into pueumonla.
Every effort was made to save his
Ufe by Drs. Wallace and Smith, who
remained from nuon yesterday until
the end came.
The death of Ur. Griswold has oc
casioned great soytow In -'ordele,
where he has resided with his wife
and two children for nearly a year.
It will be remembered that he was
called by Gja-n-irdelf c1iurch._frj

the matter before the Macon Presby

Some Muscular Women.
The Japanese Jul-Jitsu, approved by
'a high police officer aB a means by
wgilch a small man may render a big
man helpless. Is now available for
the protection of the lone woman. In
the gymnasium of the San Francisco
high school the girls are taught the
trick of this art, and one of them,
who Is visiting in New York, has dem
onstrated the value of this Instruc
tion. Insulted by a man as she left
the door of her hotel, she seized him
according to the Japanese rules and
flung him into the middle of the
street, which ended his desire for her
acquaintance. The young woman doed
not think it so much muscle as skill
which Is required for the operation.
Still, there are women who are ca
pable of muscular achievements. On
the same day a woman detective In
a department store picked up two
stout men who iwero helping them
selves to goods, threw one of them
to the sidewalk and knocked the oth
er down, capturing both. Also, at
Johnstown, N. Y., the two daughters
of a farmer killed, cleaned, scalded
and hung up tw6 hogs, each wolghlng
300 pounds. These Incidents may be
sglnlficant.
How Busy Men Find Rest.
A. J. Cassatt, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, finds time to take
lots of Interest In his horses. He has
a large stock farm near Philadelphia,
where he has thoroughbreds and hack
neys.
G. J. Gould finds tine to play polo
with his sons, and during the summer
does soihe yachting. He la a hunter,
too, and Is fond of a trip to the woods
In search of big game.
R. Keene takes a few minutes
now and then from his Wall street
operations to watch the work of bis
big stable of race horses. His stable
Is one of the largest In the country,
and Is a very successful one. This
Is his chief recreation.
August Belmont has always been
i enthusiast about alt' kinds of
sport He now owns a stable of race
horses, and owns and races a yacht
during the season—Detroit News.
A Chicago man who disappeared
ten years ago has Jaat written his
wife that he "will come back to her
from the grave.” She replied that If
he was comfortable In the grave, he
had better remain there, as she had
another husband Just at present who
was giving good satisfaction, and ahe

Ben Hill’s Tribute to Gen. Lee.
In an address before the Southern
Historical Society, delivered In At
lanta, February 17, 1874, Senator Ben
Hfll made the following eulogy of
Gen. R. E. Lee:
When the future historian shall
come to survey the character of Lee,
he will And It rising like a huge
mountain above the undulating plains
of humanity, and he must lift his eyes
high toward heaven to catch Its sum
mit. He possessed every virtue of
other great commanders, without their
vices. He was a foe without hate,
a friend without, treachery; a victor
without oppression, and a victim with
out murmuring. Ho was a public of
ficer without vices; a private citizen
without reproach; a Christian with
out hypocrisy, and a man without
guile. He was a Caesar, without his
ambition; Frederick without his tyr
anny; Napoleon without his selfish
ness, and Washington without his To
ward. He was obedient to authority
as a servant, and royal In authority
ns a true king. He was gcntlo as a
woman In life; modest and pure as
virgin In thought; watchful ns a
Roman vestal In duty; submissive to
law anil Socrates, and grand In battle
as Achillea.”
