If was a cold sndrldustering day.
A great relig nus-convention in

just adjourned.
Out of the doors •■streamed the

well known philanthropists and a
host of lr-Mer lights.
' The delegate? bad ju*t finished
a bard day’s work. 1 hay .had feean
making arrangements for the dis

in Africa, Chin* and India. They
wort in a glow of enthusiasm over
their efforts in behalf of toe naked

It wts a splendid looking .bop?
of men. Their faces bore the
stain pofeuUucr. They were aleck
and portly, end their warm gsr
jseeuta sheltered t.i&ro from the
raw northern tittle.
The .inkling, happy possession
filed out of the gorgeous church,
and turned aside te avoid con'act
with ike crouching figure on the
marble steps.
Only a woman and her babe—a
young woman in scant an 1 tattered
drapery, with an old tLawl wrapped
around her infant, dhe mothers
face was blue with cold, and pinch
ed >th hunger, and ‘'she gazed
; niteouslv up into the faces t.f the

were too common in the Streets of

sionary societies passed bar by
without a second look. Not one of
j (hath pause* to ask a question —
not one stopped to drop a penny in
i the outcast's hand.
The crowd passed on, and the
shadows of evening gathered
around the helpless woman and
child. The .massive door* of the
church closed with a clang. A
stalwar raau was walking down

Their Reputation Gone Long Ago.

The dishonesty of the Republican
campaign in Ohio ought to defeat
that party if there were not a scot* of
additional sreasons for its defeat.
There i* a certain class of politicians
who believe that everything isfair
in politics, as in war; but it ts not
good for any party to keep such men
at the front. It is not good for the
Republican party iu Ohio to be led
by men who hotd that doctrine, even
though they qualify it »s Halstead
