There stood a boy about fourteen years of age, poor ly clad, but tidied up as best he could. He was leaning on crutches; one leg off at the knee. In a voice trembling with emotion, and tears coursing down his cheeks, he said: "Mr. lloagland, I ant Freddie Brown. I have come to see if you will go to the iail and talk and pray j with my father. I le is to be hung tomorrow for the murder of my I mother. My father was a good man, but whiskey did it. I have three little sisters younger than myself. We are very poor and have no friends. We live in a dark and dingy room. I do the best 1 can to support my sisters by selling papers, blacking boots, and odd jobs; but, Mr. Hoagland, we are awfully poor. Will you come and be with us when father's body is brought home? The Governor says we may he his body after he is hung." i was deeply moved to pity. I promised and made haste to the j til, where 1 found his father. I le acknowied that he must have murdered his wife, for the circum stances pointed that way, but he had not the sli-gtest remembrance of the deed. He said he was cra.ed with drink or he never would have committed the crime. He said : "My wife was a good and faithful mother to my little children. Never did 1 dream that my hand could he guilty of such a crime." The man could bravely face the penalty of the law for his deed, but he broke down and cried as if his heart would break when he thought of leaving his children in a destitute and friendless condi tion. I read and prayed with him and left him to his fate. I lie next morning i maue my way to the miserable quarters of the children. 1 found three little girls upon a bed of straw in the corner of the room. They were beautiful girls had they had proper care. They were expecting the body of their dead father, and be tween their cries and sobs they would say, "Papa was good, but whiskey did it." In a little while two strong offi cers came bearing the body of the dead father in a rude pine box. They set it down on two old rick ety stools. The cries of the chil dren were so heartrending that the officers could not endure it, and i made haste out of the room. . In a moment the manly boy nerved himself, and said: "Come, sisters, kiss papa's face before it is cold." They gathered about his face and smoothed it down with kisses, and between iheir sobs cried out: "Papa was good but whiskey did it! Papa was good, but whiskey did it!" I raised my heart to God and said : "O God, did fright to save a country that would derive a rev enue from a traffic that would make one scene like this possible?" Youth's Outlook. KntH l.XK MEAL.

OPPORTUNITY. ee iiWwiaiMiiiiMWWrra When God formed the universe, He ilioucJn Of all the marvels therein to be wrought, And to Mis aid then Motherhood was brought. "My lesser self, the feminine of Me, She will go forth throughout ull time," u,uotli He, "And make My world what I would lu've it be. "l:or I am weary, having labored so, And for a cycle of repose would go Into silence which but Clod may know. "Therefore 1 leave the rounding of my plan To Motherhood; and that which I began Let woman finish in perfecting man. "She is the soil; the human Mother liarth; She is the sun, that calls the seed to earth, She is the gardner, who knows its worth. "From Me, all seed, of any kind must spring, Divine the growth such seed and soil will bring, For ull is Me, and I am everything." Thus having spoken to Himself aloud, His glorious face upon His breast He bowed, And sought repose behind a wall of cloud. Come forth, O God ! though great Thy thought and good, In shaping woman for true Motherhood, Lord, speak again; she has not understood. The centuries pass; the gxles roll along The earth is peopled with a mighty throng. Yet men are righting and the world goes wrong. Lord, speak again, ere yet it be too late, Unloved, unwanted souls come through earth's gate; The unborn child is given a dower of hate. The world progresses in all ways save one. In Motherhood, for which it was begun, Lord, Lord, behold how little has been done ! Children are spawned like fishes in the sand, With ignorance and crime they till the land. Lord, speak again, till mothers understand. It is not all Motherhood to know Conception pleasure or deliverance woe ! Who plants the seeds should help the shoot to'grow. True Moilieihood is not alone to hived The human race; it is to know and heed 1 he holiest purpose and its highest need. Lord, speak again, so woman shall be stirred With full meaning of that mighty word True Motherhood. She has not rightly heard. -i:ila Wheeler Wilcox. BECAUSE. "Recause of one small, low-laid head all crowned with golden hair, Forevermot e all fair young brows to me a hallo wear; I kiss them reverently. Alas! 1 know the pain I bear. "Because of dear but close-shut holy eyes, of heaven's own blue, All little eyes do lilt my own with tears, what'er their hue; And motherly I g.ue their innocent clear depths into.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTOR I A l:veiy Personal Experience Uoth New anil Interesting. 'If Any Alan Open the Door." A friend was telling me some of her experiences in the Durt'erin Hospital in India. One impressed me as particularly significant. She was seated on the veranda of the hospital one evening reading, when a high class Hindu woman came up sieps and asked for an inter view with Miss Henderson. My friend arose to speak to her, and as she did so a copy of Hobnail ing as if it had been the testimony ; Hunt's picture of Christ standing of the poorest man in the world, j outside ihe closed door, fell out of It was at Tarryiown, New York, her book to the cround.

He said the path of his life had been then and there made as clear to him as though a sign was before him pointing out the right road for him to follow.

As she came near the house she saw the door standing wide open. She entered and the physical need of the woman foremost in her mind, for she was a trained nurse at once said: "You should not have your front door open so. The mountains are covered with snow and it is cold." Then the woman with half shy reverence, said: "I knew it.
