Mis, Mai v Wii-ili, widow, of M ilw nuki'i', lost 1 1 j only child, a little Kil l. Having no money with which to nive her little one a decent burial, she went to the poor commissioners. This is the senile: A woman stait'ivd up the path in the cemetery which led to the plot ol' ground where her husband was buried, bear ing the little collin which con tained the body of her child. She took a spade, which she had put there tin1 day before, and bewail to din'. ' iod help the woman she was dinn''"t? the irave of her child ! As she worked the distracted mother sobbed, calling on the dead man under the soil to help her bear her sorrow until she could come to him. A man heard the cries of Mrs. Wicditf and went to the spot where the frail mother bent to her awful task. She explained why she was dicing the fjrave. She had no money to pay the sexton. She said: "They would have buried her for me for nothing if I had let them put her grave over there in the potter's field. But she was sub a little child so little and sometimes when I had to leave her alone she was afraid of the dark. I wanted her to be by her father's side so she would not be afraid. I told the commissioners, and they gave me this collin. The woman who lives next door to mo is coming out next Sunday to plant some vines." And the agonized mother rambled on, half wild with her grief, calling tenderly now the name of her husband and now that of the child. The listener's heart melted. He hurried to the sexton and paid lii hi money to dig the grave, raise the little mound and plant thereon some Mow ers. Why retell this wrenching passage in the life history of a poor woman'' Suppose you are a luother Voii have gone down into the valley of the shadow for your children. You have sutl'ered heartaches, known deprivation it may be, faced anguish, run the whole gamut of sacrificial motherhood. have you been called upon, like this miserable moth er, to dig the grave of yourown child.

One day when Napoleon balked and old Abe had spent his energies on tor an hour in a vain en deavor to get li i tn 10 start, Ahe went into a siore to telephone his employers.

Benthall Machine Company, Suffolk, Virginia MY OLD WEDDING RING. My wedding ring ! Ah, yes, 'tis old, Only a thread of gold to-day; But I have heard that "cares depart As (he wedding ring wears away." Mine is only a thread of gold, Clasping a finger thin and white, But lime has made it a ihousand-fold Dearer unio my heart and sight. Sixty years since my lover knelt Down at my side, and put it here; li was bright with the wedding kiss, li was hallow'd with love and prayer. Then my hand was a young, fair hand, Then the ring was a broader ring Oh, but it made my woman's heart I-'aiihful and strong through everything. Troubles will come into every life: We had sorrow, and care and loss, And you know that a weary wife Is tempted sorely to he cross; But if ever the angry word Up to my fretful lips would spring, It was check'd, if I only caught Just a glimpse of my wedding ring. Oh, to think of his happy face When he showed me the golden band, Oh, to think of the words he said When he saw it upon my hand. "Now you are mine forever, sweet, Mine forever to trust and love, Mine for the changeful days of life, Mine for the changeless joys j above." Now I ant old and my heart beats I slow, !

The wile of a Congressman had two sons who were in the habit of taking the pretty nurse maid out for a good time. The boys would not own up to it when she tried to cauiion them lest their father learned ihe situation. She then went to the pretty nurse and by a little finesse dis armed her of thinking she was dis pleased. "Minna," she said, "which of the boys do you like to goout with best. Tom, or Harry r" "Well," said the laid, I think 1 prefer Harry, but lor a real good lime I like your husband best." Thirty Years Together. Thirty years of anociation think of it.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S C ASTO R I A TWO WHO PRAYEO, "Two went up lo ihe lemple to pray," When the last sun-hours were brief, And ihe people said, as they saw them pass, "A gentleman there, and a thief." A gentleman clad as a man should be, Who lakes the world by the throat And w rests its wealth; but the other one walked In shame of a threadbare coat. And there w here the aureole window llumed And the altar lights burned low They knell and prayed one lluent and calm, One trembling of speech and slow. One pleaded to God of ihe snare of gold The lure of a loaf of bread; And he bared his soul to the conscience lash And told how his heart had bled. He had taken the thing thai was not his, And paid to the law its dole; His hands were "red" with a stolen crust, But the stain reached not his soul. The oilier man boasted of things achieved, Of gold piled up through the years; But under the words God caught the drip Of an ill-paid woman's tears. And he told also how he built the shops Where was work for the hungry horde; And he plumed himself on his charities, 1 "Confessing" them to the Lord. But he said no word how he drove and skimped The poor of their honest due; How children cried in his cruel mills But the pitiful God, He knew. When the prayers were done and the two came forth, Where the sunset spilled its sheaf, The people bowed, but the angels knew The gentleman from the thief. Some Day Some Real Man oi Wo man Is (ioing to Devote Mil lions to Aid the Coor and the Needy. Some day some man or woman is going to devote millions io es tablishing homes for old folks, places of refuge for fallen women, playgrounds for children, and is going to aid the poor in different ways, and his or her name will be lovingly enshrined in the heart of every mortal who loves humanity. There will be no medal inscribed with stirring phrases, no loving tup bearing on its golden side en graved words of exhortation, bui he will know that he bus the love of the people of this world. He will realize that some weary old heart from which the pulsation is about to go, feels tenderly for him; that some head in a body racked with pain w grateful lo him for making the last hours comfortable; that a woman whose sins were scar let, is praying for him, as he fur nished a place of refuge when the world would have kicked her hack into the depths; and in the shouts of glee of the youngsters, who will romp around playgrounds, there come sweet appreciation of his no ble human nature deeds. Yes, some day some real man or wo man is going to rise above the fixed cold policy of alleged benefaction, is going without the glare of the worldly glitter of the limelight, up on which scene those in silken gowns and broadcloth suits look, and aid humanity where humanity most needs help. Then loving hearts, grateful souls are going to send forth a glad acclaim. Indeed this man or woman will be called blessed. Wilmington Dispaich. KliLLY WAS TWISTED.
