Searching for a piece of bread. On and on she slowly trudges Through the streets of grief and sin, Asking, Is it far to heaven ? And will the angels let me in ?” On, still on, she slowly wanders; "1 want mamma,” she would cry, But before the words were ended On the streets she dropped to die. Here a kind policeman found her;— ‘Where’s your mother, child ?” he said; Slow, so slow, her ovos were opened. And she answered, "Mamma’s dead.” IIow his heart ached in a moment For this little waif so thin; But her eyes were closed forever, For the angels had lot her in. — [Joseph Haul McDonald.

Her Wandering Boy. "I have asked the soloist to sing an old familiar piece, ‘Where Ih My Wundering Boy To-night?’ ” announced the minister of a large church one Sab- bHth evening. The great orgnn droned softly the opening strains of that sweet hymn, and a woman roHC and sang as sweetly as human voice can sing. When she came to the chorus many wero in tours, and away upstairs in the gallery an old lady was sobbing to herself, and swaying gently to and fro as if in pain. “Once ho was pure us the mornlnj? dew — Ah ho knelt at his mother’s kneo; No face was so bright, no heart moro true, And none was so sweot as he.” The singer’s voice seemed to hrenk, and upstairs the little old lady was passing out. She could hour it no longer. Across the gallery from where she sat. off in a dark corner, a tramp was sitting in a shame-faced attitude, lis tening too. Ho saw her go, and imme diately got up himself and loft so quietly that his exit was unnoticed. Down the street she went, almost overcome with pentup grief, and after her. a short distance, followed he of the wandering tribe. At last she turned into a street where the houses were of the poorer kind, stopped in front of one of them, and unlocked the front door and went in. She lit the lamp, hut forgot to draw the window Hhade, and kneeling down by an old rocking chair Hho went as if her heart would break. By and by Hhe became calmer, and the tramp, watch ing outside, saw her lips move as if in prayer. Something was tugging at his heart, and he stepped close to the win dow that he might hour, if possible, whut she was saying: “Oh, Father, he was my own little lad, and I loved him so and prayed for such great things for him. It may bo he’s an outcast to-night, and far down in the ways of sin; hut oh, Father, in loving kindneHH bring him back, for I need him so and l love him—” the sob bing wns starting again and she could go no further. Outside the house a struggle was go ing on. He had been acquainted with the ways of sin so long. His heart was hardened, and he wns almost turning away when he heard the 9weet old voice again—“I know he’ll come, Fath er; he’ll come back to me, my laddie.” The old name awukened memories of the days when she had sung him to sleep and said, “Good night, laddie, mother’s own man of the house.” Tears came into his eyes for the first time in years. He opened the door and walked in where she was, and, trying to stop the awful choking in his throat, suid: “Your prayer is answered, mother; I’ve come hack. There, there, little woman, don’t cry like that; I can’t stand it, you know.” But tears of joy soon ceased to flow and she clung to him and said brokenly “You’re very welcome, laddie, for I’ve been looking for you, and God is good, so good.’’ Too Greedy. New Orleans States. Robert Herrick, the brilliant realis tic novelist, said at a recent luncheon in Chicago. There is a type of American wife who, in her greed for wealth and dis- play. brings unhappiness on herself. She rather reminds me of the fat man and the table d’hote dinner. This man entered a restaurant that served dinner at the fixed price of 75 cents. He knotted a napkin about his neck and fell to heavily. So heavily, in fact, that the waiter, after a whisper ed conversation with the proprietor, approached him and said: “Beg pardon, sir, hut I will have to charge you a quarter extra; you eat so much.” The fat man, red and short of breath from his excessive gorging, said earn estly : “For goodness’ sake don’t do that; I’m nearly dead now from eating 75 cents’ worth. If you make me eat an other quarter's worth I’ll bust.” Short-Circuiting a Balky Mule. Hilly McGill doesn’t go around with a chip on his shoulder, yet he is forever hunting trouble--for Billy is the trouble man of the Farmers’ Mutual Telephone line. One Saturday nfternoon they were jogging along on a trip into the coun try, Billy and Jim nnd Bet. Billy was white and Jim was black and Bet wns brindled. For Bet was nothing but a mule. Bet got tired of being just a mule with no individuality or initiative, so she balked with the trouble wagon and wouldn’t budge another step. There she stood, with her legs spread, heed less of argument or invective. Billy and Jim were impatient. Bet was not, according to the 9tory Iinrris Bickson tells in “Ringing Up Rural America” in Hampton's Broadway Mnguzine for November. Billy larruped her with the reins nnd Jim frazzled her with a sapling. But she held her position like a monument of Roman firmness. "See here, Jim,’’ said Billy, wiping his freckled brow, “I’m not goin’ to let this cussed mule keep me out in the woods all night. Get a bucket of water.” Jim grinned nnd trudged over to a farm-house; the farmer followed him hack and looked on nt the show. While Jim wns gone Billy ran two lines of copper wire long tho back and sides of the mule, under the hurness, and con nected them with a telephone battery in the wagon. “Now, Jim, give her a good wettin’ —particular where them wires is. I’m goin’ to treat this dodgasted critter to a tech o’ high life. Climb in and ketch the reins. She’s goin’ to move.” Billy turned on the current, tinkled the telephone bell, and the mule did move. “Now, Jim, wo ain’t never gion* to need a whip no more. When we wants old Bet to rush we’ll just ring that telephone hell.” ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.

If you suffer from backache, There is only one way to cure it. The perfect way is to cure the kidneys. A had back means sick kidneys. Neglect it, urinary troubles follow. Doan’s Kidney pills are made for kid neys only. A. D. Hulsey, living on Tanner St., Carrollton, Ga., says: “I shall never he able to speak too strongly in favor of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Five years ago they completely cured me of kid ney trouble, which had troubled me for fifteen years. I suffered from terrible pains through my hack, and was iH a miserable condition. The kidney secre tions at first were too frequent, and especially at night, and for a while they were unnatural in appearance and scanty in flow. Doan’s Kidney Pills eliminated every symptom of the dis tressing trouble and I keen this reme dy on hand at all times. The use of one or two doses now and then has kept my kidneys in an active and healthy condi tion for over five years.” For sale hy all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name—Doan’s—and take no other. Some people are so blinded by tears crying over the opportunities that have passed that they can't even see those that are coming.
