breed discord and discontent among our

was born in Detroit, went to school

come acquainted with .them, find out
their names and becomes genial In the
half -respectful, .half -presuming way
that so frequently passes for good na-
tnre among employees of the kind in
this country. Naturally .he receives
liberal fees from his clientele, which is
made tip of rich men able to pay high
prices for the extra service they re-
celve, V - - ;:. ! i ;t
When there Is no financial response

his cordiality diminishes. The waiters
under , him da, with unusual willirig-
ness, the head waiter's -bidding. They
are 'evidently indifferent as to their
o wn success in the matter of fees. It
is only the good will of the head waiter
that appears to be the goal of all their
efforts.
Such unselfishness astonishes regular
patrons of the restaurant, and one In
particular undertook to discover the
reason of this attitude Of the waiters
toward their, chief He learned after
J awhile that the tips the head waiter
I received were large enough to enable
I him to give' the waiters a part of his

A Sob of a Sea Coolc ; -
The Information concernlnghe ex

the Philadelphia Times, has notbeen

comes from a prominent citizen.-a man
of affairs , and -a man of intelligence;
In 1S62 he was for a period the cam

who at that time was a candidate for:
congress m Illinois. -Air. eweu-.was
the bosom friend of Abraham Lincoln

aspirations, of Walter Q. Oresbam.
At the time referred ta Sir. Swett
had an engagement to address voters
fa I Fremont xnd Pekln, in- Tazewell
county j. and by the informant referred
to was driven from Fremont to Pekln.
Swett bad few equals as a conversa
tionalist, and the talk was brisk and
naturally never to be,forgotten by the
man who had proffered bis services as
a driver. 1 . - . : -"'
The latter, speaking of a well known
lawyer of Pekin, remarked, "He la a
son of a sea cook." Mrw Swett turned
abruptly about and said: "That expres
sion is not correct. "Yon mean the son

The Methodist Ecumenic! confer

of the wonderful work of John Weley
and his far-reaching influence. City

On the scene of Wesley's most famous
labors more than five hundred delegates
gathered recently. - They represented
Methodism tn every part of the world,
'wit has found, a lodgmen) throughout
etvmiauon and now numbers more
than 25.000.000 adherents
What a great fire baa been' kindled
y me spart of holy aeal that Wesley
let fall a little more than a century ago!
Methodism has given the world many
preachers ef rare power; it has laid hold
upon the lives and faith and lives of
many millions: it has had its effect in
almost every nation: has become the
largest Protestant church in this hera-
isphere, and a mighty power for the
conversion of men to live better Uvea, 1
It has built and 'maintained, colleges
and charities in many lands, and has
sent its missionaries to the ends of the
earth. - . . . .... '
The followers of Weslev have inher
ited his zeal, and it is one of Iho rea
sons for their marvelous success. Little
Wesleyan chapel has become the mother
of thousands of churches and missions.
It must be an inspiration to any en
thusiastic Methodist to visit the home
of-Wesley, to stand amid the scenes 'of
his toil and triumphs, to hear there the
gospel that Wesley preached - and . sing
the songs which cheered, and warmed
the hearts xf his first followers.

Their pasturage was in fields broken
by rocky ledges and where more than
one steep ravine suddenly descended
from the smooth sward. Jack never
left his friend. Constantly beside him.
if Sam went too near a perilous edge,
