An" when Mollis was ready for her fight against the night and the roads Celeste runs back le the house to fill up a hamper with everything eatable she could find. She found considerable. Celeste always did keep cooked up. I can believe that she looked like an angel to those tttngry , folks in the car when she went amllin' down the aisle, her red nood, ver, her pretty ' hair, an' her basket on her arm. She'd fell iuto veral snow mounds as she came, but lte didn't mention that. ..' Aa' when one little frightened irlrl learned that Celeste hud driven there eiie held on to her and begged to be 'taken home, "Marlon's not very well," a man told Olewte. "I'm afraid a night In the . car will be hard on her." . fr The trains were held, you see. near : r to Celeste's furawsy home than to ' Laudaend. An', with the child's arms " ttitmnd her. she suggested to the man wbom she took to be the father, that , fdie be allowed to carry Mnrion home with ber for the night. v After one look Into Celeste's face be ' agreed willingly. That was the begin ning of the end. Tre man wasn't Marlon's father, ss it' turned out. hut an uncle wbo'd gone to fetch the child te his own bachelor quarters after her fatlier died. Au' when this nncle nian- aged to get to Celeste's next day, an' the child hung on to her there un' Ik-x-' fed to stay why, that's the way it 7 was arranged.

These two workers have seen the organization grow from the veriest tyro In the field of service and relief in 1880 to the powerful Influence that It Is today. They have never left Its service and entertain no thought of doing so. They want to help raise the $10,000,000 necesssry to carry the work through another year. Their enthusiasm Is boundless, as It well may be In people who have seen such an Inauspicious beginning in the face of Jeering and antagonistic crowds result In the universal respect and love held for, the Salvation Army fain 7 The difference In the figure of the com ing appeal and the mite collected In their tambourines In the old days dem onstrates concretely the difference that 40 years have brought Louis Petaln is particularly Jubilant over the transformation that he has seen and remarks epigrammatically : "You can't buy ' confidence, sonny, l'ou've got to earn it."

He was sentenf d to serve six months with the Army by an exas perated Judge who had given tip hope of reforming the drunken "remittance man." Jimmy decided voluntarily to make It a life sentence and stayed with the organization until his death. He attained the' rank of captain and served others as the Salvationists be fore had served him. PERISHING TO JAZZ MUSIC. New York World. Hiu-li iiieiiiltern of Congress as do not dismiss Henry P. Davison 's moving ap peal for the dying millions of Central and Eastern Kurope at an untimely jest treat it as a preposterous demand for alms. If tliey close their minds to suf fering that may through economic ruin and disease place our whole civilization in peril they should at least be able to state his propomil without misrepresenta tion. What Mr. Davison asks is a loan of $5110,000.000, the proceeds to be spent largely in America and its administration to be in the hands of American citizens exclusively, the principal to be repaid with inteeest 1n fifreen years. At a time when debt and taxes are bearing heavily upon the country new obligations I should not be slightly assumed, hut in ' this faw humanity, to say nothing; of ' self-interest, annwers that consideration I roaclusively. We advanced $10,000,000 to our European associates for war pur poses without much thought of interest or ' payment. To loan one-'wentieth of that , sum to establish peace, to save entire . peoples from disease ami death, to safe guard the fruits of our victory and to protect ourselves from the terrors of plague, revolution and economic collapse might almost be expected to impress even the present Congress as a venture worth making. Thus far, however, there is no sign off appreciation in that quarter. A world heedless of misery unequalled, the result in part of its own duties neglected and its own tasks unfinished, is jazz crazy .erazy, Iwlitics-insHiie and money-mad, and the American section thereof seems to be fittingly represented at Washington. The ignorance and heartlessness of such mem bers of Congress as nave spoken on this subject are as appalling in their way as the fate of the 65,000,000 of people whom we feed from bondage and abandoned to die.

Statesvile landmark. Word comes from the Washington head quarters of tov. Edwards of Xew Jersey, the avowed "wet" candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination, that Robt. H. Jones of Raleigh gives Edwards headquarters assurance that the North Carolina delegation to 8a n Francisco ' ' will be composed of men who helievt. that Gov. Edwards is the strongest man in the party today and that he is the only Democratic candidate thus far men tioned who can carry the eountry. " Mr. Jones is sure that Gov. Kdwards will not only earry every State in the South, if he is nominated, but that he will "swing the 8tates of Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Ken tucky, Missouri, Massachusetts, t'onnee tieute and Rhode Island into the Demo cratic column, and that Pennsylvania, too, is ready ami willing to join the proces sion. Mr. Jones confesses that his as sertion seems optimistic and it must be admitted that it is a little strong. Bat the matter of most interest in this con. neetion is, Did the North Carolina moral ly stunted load up the delegation to , the national convention with a bunch of weta, as Mr. Jones', talk indicates, while the pure-in heart were off guard! Mr. Jones was evidently talking through his hat. ' " Be Master ; of DMcultiea. Grapple ; the - first difficulty . that rofoes'-op..'-. Wrestle till you down Itj tfllt takes till break of day.
