The HeipiM Movement.
Id consideration of the fact
that every thoughtful citizen of
Waycrosa is or should be inter
ested in the new enterprise, a
public hospital which we hope
will soon materialize, and there
by prove to the world that the
reputation Waycrosa has abroad
is founded on facts; unlike an
cient Home, does she look down
with pride on the less fortunate
of earth, but with that love which
brings about the brotherhood of
man, and reaches out from
shoulder to shoulder and from
heart to heart for suffering hu
manity. In all my wanderings
as a Methodist ministers, wife
I havo never seen a groator need
for such an institution, and
should there be a doubting
Thomas who questions the ad
visability of sucli an institution
in our little city of thriftand en
terprise, and whoso eyes may
pcrchnnco fall upon these words
I hog you follow for awhile these
"Angels of Murcy,'' as they goin
and out from patient to patient,
and see them bond over the couch
of wasting sickness with their
hands literally tied, hoping
against hope, and praying that
mind over inator may prevail, as
they face tho situation and reals
izothe fact that thoenvironments
of some people nro enough to baf

No comforts, nay, not oven the
scantiest necessities, to say noth

biiity to get help of any kind.
Again, listen to their tales of
woo, soinoliiiies ofcuursu exagor
ated, hut too often as true as an
lionost heart can relate, and then
let vour sympathy out aud feel
for uwliilo your utter helpless

one thing needful, a place wlioro
tlicir sick loved ones may tie

minutes ugo u shrinking little
woman with a baby ru bur arms

her story found that she had
sold every thing she had in order
to place her husband in roach of

pay the board, consequently she
had to go several miles away to
n neighboring village where a
friend Intel offered her shelter,

they of course will get enough to

should lie cared for, and it pos

may go out again and win bread

The true, not the new, should be the

Every well to do man of good digestion

People who cat too much food are not
to be advised to eat baked apples

those who need a substantial meal
must not let the baked apple Interfere
with the taking ®f solid food. As u
rule, those who eat three meals per

A short tlmo before his death Dis

his studio hung a proof engraving of
Gladstone, with his hands hanging
down before him lightly clasped and
an almost beatific expression on his
face. Millais observed that Disraeli's
eyes were frequently bent upon the
portrait. At length he asked him If he
would accept n copy. "I was rather
shy of offering It to you,” be apologet
ically added. ”1 should bo delighted
to have it,” said Disraeli, with what
for him was an almost eager manner.
“People think that more or less through
our political lives I have disliked Mr.
Gladstone. To tell the truth, my only

thnt studying him from day to day and
year to year I could never understand
him.”

A STRENUOUS RIDE
Very amusing is the story of thf
strenuous ride of a tenderfoot New
York correspondent who visited
Sharon Springs recently with the
presidential party. As 60on as he
mounted one of the cowboys said
"Wow!" the conductor of the train
waved a red flag, the engineer let
out a squirt of‘’steam, and the cor
respondent went through Sharon
Springs, leaving a cloud of dust be
hind him that looked like the re
mains of a cyclone. He w$nt
through one fence and took the cor
ner off one barn and finally brought
np against the side of another. A
committee of villagers helped him
up, he remounted the horse, start
ed again, and the last seen of
him he was far out on the horizon,
still followed by the rolling dust
cloud. He came in later on a meek
cayuse lent to him by a friendly
cowboy, who incidentally informed
him that he had been riding the
most famous race horse of that end
of Kansas and that the horse was
trained to run when the reins were
pulled tight and stop only when
they were slackened.—Argonaut."
What Wearies a College President.
President Hadley of Yale, writing
in the Youth's Companion on the
work of a college president, tells of
the deluge of letters that comes to
him. Many of the letters are of
course simply handed over to the
university secretary or treasurer.
Others contain a more personal
note. Says one correspondent:
Dear Sir—I have offered you a fair chal
lenge for a public debat* with mi
cernlng the method adopted in the
tion of the universe. I hold that It la th*
duty of the president of Yale university
to discus* a tcplo like this with every on*
who is willing to do so. and unless you
name a time and place I shall proclaim
you recreant to your duty.
Another and younger man who is
more interested in tlie present than
in the past begins:
Dear Blr—I write to Inquire whether
your college la composed of a baseball
nine.
A third correspondent says:
I feel that I have a call to preach the
gospel, and therefore If arrangement* can
be made for my support I should like to
take a course of study in the Sheffield
Scientific school.

Novel Theatrical Advertising.
American actresses are not the
only ones who know how to get their
names into the papers. A week or
so ago Jeanne Grenier took a party
in her motor car to tho outskirts of
I’aris. Just outside of Tonnerre a
shower fell that drenched all of
them. Mile. Granier'saw her op
portunity. She sent for the village
tailor, shoemaker, milliner, hatter
and hosier and bought complete out
fits for her guests at a cost of $300
and then sent for the reporters. On
tho same day an actress in Berlin
was accosted by a “Johnnie.” So
distressed was she that to rid her
self of him she jumped into the

Bishop Potter let drop on the oc
casion of his visit to that city two
years ago to attend the Epiecopal
convention.
At that time the citizens were
very much astir because the famous
eastern bishop was to be a visitor
within tlieir gates, and thsy vied
with one another to honor their
guest. The bishop was kept busy
declining the invitations that he had
not time to accept. But one invita
tion that he did avail himself of
wss to occupy the magnificent resi
dence of William Crocker, one of the
millionaire, families of which Mrs,
Francis Burton Harrison and Mrs.
Alexander are eastern representa
tives.
The house is a showy one, situat
ed upon Nob bill, where the early
California millionaires built their
homes, so it is a “show placo.” It
esme to have a double interest when
it was occupied bp the bishop. One
day a San Franciscan was snowing
the group of residences to a friend
who was visiting in the city. As
they approached the “Will Crocker”
home he sprang the treasured joke
which he had Jbeen eavifig for the
right moment. “This,” said he,
with a flourish, “is Mr. Crocker’s
Pottery.”
He did not recognize the gcntle-
_ man who was at that moment de-
I scending tlie steps. It was the bish-
1 op, who could not lelp overhearing
and who had a twinkle in his eye.
“I beg pardon for correcting yon,”
he said, out you are mistaken. This
is Bishop Potter’s Crockery.”—

One of tlie latest 6tories of the
strange reasoning of negroes comes
from J. H. Stoddart, the veteran
actor, and is of an incident he wit
nessed in Louisiana on a tour
through that part of the country.
“I had an afternoon lay off in
this Louisiana town,” said the ac

ed about tho place. Fnially I got
to the courthouse and went in. A
negro trial was on, and a typical old
darky was one of the witnesses. He
was fixing the time of the occur
rence of the trouble and said it was
half past 3 in the afternoon.
“ Tfow do you know it was half
past 3?’ demanded the lawyer for
the other side.
‘“Why, I—I knowed it was half
past 3 by my watch. I knowed it,’
stammered the darky.
‘“Can you tell time?’ demanded
the lawyer.
“ ‘Sure, I can tell time,’ answered
the witness.
“ ‘What time is it now ?’ demand
ed the lawyer, pointing to tho clock.

shaved, his hair was cut, and he wa«
then decorated with a new suit of
clothes. A fire was started, and the
young men told the tramp that they
were going to burn his old clothes.
He hud undergone the previous
painful operations with a worldly

son was discovered uy the police,

“The county judge was a man
weighing 300 pounds. Steel, who
kept the local hotel, summoned a
jury for a term, and not one of the
jurors weighed less than 260 pounds.
On the first ease called Steel fed the
jurymen a dinner consisting of plen
ty of onions, buttermilk and other
soporific foods, with the result that
in the afternoon all of them and the
judge went to sleep.
“ ‘Sheriff,’ said the judge on iw&k-

“ “Yes, your honor,’ answered
Steel.
