Hall’s Family Pills are the best. A poor English girl, in Miss Leighs home in Paris, ill in body and hopeless in spirit, was greatly moved hearing childen singing “I heard the voice of Jesus say” When they came to the words “weary, and worn, and sad,“ she moaned < 1 that’s me, that’s me.” 4 4 Fill it up fill it up ” She never rested until she had heard the whole of lhe hymn which tells how Jesus gives rest to such. By and by she asked, “Is that true?’ On being answered, ‘Yes’ she asked, “Have you come to Jesus? Has he given you rest? “He has.” 1 Raising her¬ self, she asked, “Do you mind my coming very close to you ? May be it would be easier to go to Jesus with one who has been before than to go to him alone.” So saying she rested her heud on the shoulder of her who watched, and clutching her as one in the agony of death, she murmured, “Now, try and take me with you to Jesus.—The Sun- da v at Home.

Pearse, a Loudon war corre- spondent, is responsible for this story of General Buller: The general and Mr. Pearse came home in the same boat. Each evening the band played “God Save the Queen” after dinner on deck. Of course every Briton stood Up and removed his head covering. A number of Hollanders, however, re¬ mained seated and covered. The Brit- ons were very angry, and it was feared that serious trouble might follow. The anxious captain privately consulted General Buller. “Sir.” he said, “I wish you would tell me what you would do under the cir¬ cumstances if you were commander of this ship.” “Me!” replied Buller. “1 should ask the band not to play ‘God Save the Queen.’ “ - Umbrellas were not known in this country until a year cr so before the Revolutionary war, ail( l U was more than a century thereafter that they |:sne Into general use.

The young man replied that as he sat on the fence to rest while he was hoe¬ ing corn he would see visions on the clouds. He had seen the letters “G. P. C.” as distinctly as if they had been painted there. “But what do those letters stand for?” “Why, they mean, ‘Go preach Christ, 9 99 was the reply. “You mean, ‘Go plant corn,’ ” said the moderator, and the council adjourned. —Brooklyn Eagle.

Congressman Smith of Illinois told this story of an incident that occurred at the president’s last New Year’s re¬ ception:. “Wu Tin g Fang, minister from China, stood in the east room af¬ ter greeting the president and held a regular reception of his own. Every¬ body knew the minister’s inclination to ask questions, and when I saw Dr. Mary WaIker in her male costume come advancing toward Wu I knew there would be something doing. She was presented to Wu. “Wu looked at her in surprise, if not astonishment, and then blurted out, J| U=±) ! .4 V /-/ V X kW '-J-* L V- Y. ~w a l y i\. l ivta r.-xv ti ' sS / ji A wJ m E M h . “YOU ARE A LADEE?’ ‘You are a ladee?’ and when she said with dignity that she was Wu asked, ‘Then why do you wear men’s clothesV’ Dr. Mary looked at the minister for only a second and then retorted, ‘You are a man?’ And when the minister bed declared that he was she retorted, ‘Then why do you wear women’s clothes?’ Wu was taken back for a moment only and then replied, ‘Be¬ cause the custom of my country allows me to do so.' Dr. Mary heard, and then as she switched her head and walked away she said proudly, ‘Well, the liberty of my country allows me to wear men’s clothes.’ That closed the incident.” THE PRESIDENT AT PLAY tou should have seen the president at play a few weeks ago.

COMPTON, Toccoa, Ga mammy nurse was with her, and it was evident that Leonora had been in- strutted to be very polite aud not to sit down in the presence of the mis¬ tress of the White House unless press¬ ed to do so and. above all, to answer aii questions promptly. Both the pres ident and Mrs. McKinley received the child. They did all they could to make her feel at home, but Leonora was evi¬ dently a good deal awed. At last Mrs. McKinley, observing the years, of the old black mammy, pressed her to sit down and the child, too, but Leonora Baid admonishingly to her nurse in an undertone and holding herself bolt up right: “No, mammy, Servants must not sit.” “Why, Leonora,” said Mrs. McKin¬ ley, much amused, “mammy’s an oid woman. And you sit down yourself.” “Oh, yes’m,” returned the child gravely. “But, then, I’m people.” This reply nearly bowled the presi¬ dent over, and he and Mrs. McKinley smiled broadly. Then Mrs. McKinley took out her watch, which contains a portrait of the president. She held it out and said coaxingly: “Leonora, you cannot toll me of whom this is a picture.” Leonora drew near and scanned the open watch. A bright look swept over her face. “Oh, yes’m! I know who it is.” “Well, who is it, Leonora?” “It’s Dewey.” This was altogether too much for the president.
