When Im years passed wil'tly by, a
I'rieml tme ilay iniiiiretl of Mrs. Dean:
"Kaly, why are yen so careful to save
scraps of I'm ii I, el. illt, even r.ts anil pa

Mis. I lean's face (litslicil red as she re

Mr. Dean wore cheap onats. Iliselerk
wnre lieller ones. The junior partner
fretted libit that the head of the business
did nut dress better. Ilefrelted also be
cause he persisted in keeping on the
office desk, a supply of tracts to slip into
lti business letters.
Mr. Jordan would say to him, "Your
irac.s are wasted N.ibudy'll read 'etn."
' Till admonished losend them. They
should be read, at any rate," was I he
everready reply.
A certain little mission church became
known as the "Dean Mission." Mr, Dean
did nut paitieulary desire it so. The
Deun family were so heartily interestnl
iu the niissbua the name seemed to fit it.
As the years wore on interested friends
kindly urged upon Mr. Dean lite necessity
of saving something fr the children's
start, old uge, and years of weakness and
inability to earn silver and gold.
"You will be poor," one friend said to
llim.
''I, a p.iur tiiati'.'" leplied Jacob Dean,
serenely. ".Novel! never' (iod has as

we have is fur llim. All e are we owe

Jacob and Kuty Dean died asih.y
had wished In die, near together They
had no costly funeral. A plain, simple
stone marked their uuve.
When it became known that the Dean
estate was three limes as lai"e as their
n arst In. nds bad valued it, everybody
wondered.
"How did I hey accumulate so much,"
people asked, ''when they gave away o
freely of what they had?" They did not
understand that the thrift which was ded
ieatedto tho Lord's sen ice, in the nature
of things tended to worldly urosnerttv

A CHAPLAIN'S STORY.
s'lhe lull Well?" Anfllnii'tShe Na'J
Nmlliim.r"
"I was in New Yotk on business," the
chaplain said, "when I received a wire
announcing the serious sickness of my
youngest child, a girl about six years old.
She was the pet and the hope of the
homo. 1 took the first train west. ( In
account of Hoods we were detained on
the road two days. Wlrn I arrived, the
nervous strain upon me would have
ciusheil me 1 think, had 1 n il e ui-i.l
en d that the life of the child d pellded
upon the attention I must gie her.
based, of coiusc, upon the pby-iei in s
skill. 1 cairied her in my arms for two
days and nights'
"She had no sleep for I'll ly boms, and
her life depended upon her gelling a few
hours' sleep. After consultation, modi
cal skill suggested an opiate. It was
given, and 1 held her on my lap in order
that she should get absolute ipiiet mid
rest. Just as she fell into slumber she
was aroused by the cry on the street of a
banana peddler. She was startled and
the phyieian's face showed too plainly
that he regarded the ease as hopeless. 1
handed my child to him and went imo
the street to speak to the peddler. I ex
plained lo liim the condition of my child
and told him I would buy all bis slock if
he would not cry his goods iu front of my
house. At first he was disposed lore
sen! this, as be thought it was an infrac
tion of his rights. However he sjoii
saw the propriety of it, and told me he
would not cry his fruit any more in front
of my house. 1 then asked him if lie
would use his influence to keep others
alway. Then 1 reflected that to do this
he must be a loser, and knowing his
family support depended upon the sale
of bis fruits, I ma le him a proposition.
That was to act as sort of special police
man in front of my house until the skua
lion in the si k room changed, 1 lo pay
him for his services. He consented and
unlil the time w hen I had no I'uthor use
for him, he was as faithful as a watchdog
lie warned nil' every huckster who came
in sight, and bis interest in the child's
welfare grew tn be as tender as it was
touching.
"On the corner below was n newsboy,
from whom I had Ir. ipu-mly h night pa
pers. The banana man went to him and
explained the condition of affiirs in my
Imme, and asked him to change his place
and go elsewhere. That night 1 was
informed thai a boy wanted to see u.e at
my dour. On going there I found the
newsboy in iU'Slion. He had hi. hat in
his band. As soon as I appeared tu him
he said in his holiest way: 'I hear your
gal's sick. I ain't got much, but here's
all I've got, and it's for her.' With that
lielhrii-ta greasy roil of paper iu my
hand, and In Tore I could fully rcahe
what he was up to he was gone. 1 look
e l at the contents of the paper and il
contained the boy 's earnings f,,r his papers
I tried lo overtake ihe boy hut he had
gone. 1 left word lor hi n to eo n luck
to the bouse.
"Several days pissed. The lunula

me that he had not seen the and

in the drawing clesei together of Chris
