A WAIF.
In n hot and dusty city,
’Neath the shining; stars o’orhoad.
There a blue-oyod child was wandering:.
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.

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.”

THE PERFECT WAY.
Scores of Newnan Citizens Have
Learned It.
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

Some people are so blinded by tears
crying over the opportunities that have
passed that they can't even see those
that are coming.
