Said the judge:
"I know you Voil are a
good citizen. You shall not
have to tell your Hloiy to any

And that is how this Jean
Valjean found a judge with

'Hut," you say, ' would any
one hinder tho reform of such
a man or hurt his prospects, u

ishment and is now living an

Listen to this tale. I person
ally know it is true:
An ex-convict of exemplary
record was paroled by the State
board of pardons and went to
an Iowa town where lie had
lived in all good conduct and
joined u church, lie was asked
to take pa t in the program of
a church entertainment.
Now, there a certain woman.
This woman learned by some
means that the man had served
time in prison, whereupon she
withdrew from the entertain
ment committee
Well.
Learning the woman's action
the poor man said he would
step aside. It was in vain the
best people urged him to stay,
averring they preferred to let
the woman go out of thechurch
rather than lose him. He was
firm.
What else could he do ?
He wrote to the parole board
told tho story and asked to be
permitted to move to another
town in the State, which was
granted.
Somebody ought to thunder
in that woman's ear, "if ye
forgive not men their tres
passes," how will (iod forgive
you?

POOR OLD BOY,
1 visited today the old home place,
Where 1 whittled and fished from
with dad.
1 heard again the mocking birds sing, as once they sang with )oy,
But it seemed the song they sang today was "Poor old boy."
Through rooms that held memories of the past 1 wandered all alone,
In the dark 1 found a trundle bed that once had been my own,
In fancy I heard my mother's voice, again we knelt to pray,
But instead of "Lay me down to sleep," "Poor old boy" she seemed
to say.
Down past the yard o'er grown with
I wandered to where, with sweat on
and me.
The old plow leaned against (he tence; as I raise J it Irom us ecu.
All covered with rust, it mournfully
it said.
I laid it back in the same old place
When it seems 1 heard as in days

As I bathed my face in the nectar there. I woke and fuund was a dream.
I awoke. 1 he sunlight streaming
Of buildings tall, and I could hear
The whirl of cars tl.: igh the crowded sireeis, the ceaseless, unending
tread
Of the crowds below seemed to chant
and o'er they said.

My heart goes out in the silent night
O 1 know if tonight you could make
come true,
I know you would wish for the "poor old boy" and the old folks back

THE FEVERISH HANDS.
This Is No Pancy Sketch, Dear i
Reader. Let Us do to Him,
That He May Touch our Hands. !
li was a Monday uiurning, and a
r.iiny one at that, "Mother" was
busy from the moment she sprang
out of bed at tlu lii si sound of the
rising-hell. Others besides chil
dren get out of bed "on
the wrong side," us this muihcr
can testify. She began by think
ing over all that lay before her. It
made her "feel like Hying!" Brid
get would be cross; as it was rainy
there would be a chance of com
pany for lunch, so the parlor must
be tidied, as well as dining room
swept, dishes washed, lamps trim
med, beds made, and children
started for school. Her hands
grew hot as she buttered bread for
luncheon, wailed on those who
had to start early, and tried to pac
ify the little ones and Bridget.
"My dear, you're feverish,"
said her husband, as he held her
busy hands a moment. "Let your
i work go and rest yourself you'll
i find it pays."
Just like a man !" thought the
mother. "Why, I haven't time
even for my prayers!" But the
little woman had resolved that she
would read a few verses in her
Bible before 10 o'clock each day; 1
so, standing by the bureau, she
opened to the 8th chapter of Mat
thew, and read these words, "And
he touched her hands, and the fe
ver left her; and she arose and
ministered unto them."
It seemed to that busy wife as if
Jesus Himself stood ready to heal
her to take the fever out of her
hands, that she might minister
wisely to her dear ones. The
beds could wait till later in the day
the parlor might be a little disor
dered -she must feel his touch!
She knelt and he whispered: "My
strength, not yours, child, is suffi
cient." "As thy day, so shall thy
strength he." ' My yoke is easy.
This yoke you have been galled
by is the world's yoke, the yoke
of public opinion or house-wifely
ambition; "take my yoke upon
you, and learu of me, ....
ye shall Hnd rest."
The day was no brighter, the
work had to be done, but the lever
had left her, and all day she sang:
"This Clod is our (iod, my Lord
and my God."
It is true that, when the friends
came to lunch, no fancy dishes had
been prepared for the table, but
the hostess heart was tilled with
love for them, as members, with
her, of Christ and they went away
hungering for such a realization of
Him as they saw she had.
"Ah," said her husband, when
he held her hands once more, "I
see you took my advice; dear; the
fever is quite gone."
The wife hesitated could she
tell her secret? Was it not almost
too sacred? Yet, it was the secret
of the Lord," not hers, and would
glorify Him. Later on, when the J
two sat together, she told him who i
! had cured herfever.and said quiet- j
: ly: "1 see that there is a more im-1
i portant ministry than the house
j keeping, though I don't mean to
j neglect that.
j "Let us ask the Lord to keep
I hold of our hands," said her hus
band. Aline grow teverisli in
eager money making, as yours in
eager housekeeping."
This is no fancy sketch. Hear
mothers, busy, anxious housekeep
ers, let us go again and again to
Him that I lr m4i' tniteh nnr
Id boy" was what j han jS) csl lhcy he 1.,- anu

CHOOSE YE.
This Bihli! or a rive Pound Note. '
A wealthy old gentleman, residing
in London, on one of his birth-1
days invited his servants into the
house to receive presents. "Vi'hat
will you have?" said he address
ing the I'.nmm, "ihis Bible or a
five pound note?" "1 would take
the BiHc, sir, but I c.innot r.id;
so I ill i n k the money will do mc
more good, " replied the Imsih-r.
"And you?'' he asked the gtrden
er. "My p.wr wife is s ill that I
sadly need the m mey," responded
the gardener, with a bow. "Mary,
you can read," s.iid the old man,
turning to the cook, "will you
have this Bible?" "1 can read,
sir, but 1 never get time to look
into a book; and the money will
buy me a fine dress. " Next was
the chambermaid; but she had one
Bible and did not want another.
, Last cjnie the errand buy. "My
; lad," said his kind lunefaetor,
; "will y.iu lake these live pounds
and replace your slnbliy suit?"
! "Thank you, sir, but my dear
I mother used to read to me that the
' law of the Lord was belter than
: thousands of gold and silver. I
will have the good Book, if you
! please." "God bless you, my
boy ! And may your wise choice
prove riches and honor and long
life unto you!" As the lad re
ceived the Bible, and unclasped its
covers, a bright gold piece rolled
to the floor. Quickly turning its
pages, he found them thickly in
terleaved with bank notes; while
the four servants, discovering the
mistake of their worldly covetous
ness, hastily departed in chagrin.
WHAT A WOMAN KNOWS.
A Cleveland school teacher once
asked her class what was the dif
ference between the expressions
"a while" and ''a time." Nobody
seemed to have any ideas on the
subfect. Finally the light of intel
ligence was seen to shine in the
eyes of one little boy, and the
teacher called upon him to save the
iuelleciual honor of he class,
"I know, teacher," he cried,
eagerly. "When papa says he's
going out for a while, mamma says
she knows he's going out for a
time."
That's one way of looking at it.
