HOW HE CAME

IVliajf Hotkci UaSntrd told hit only
onJ "gp West, young --man, go

-the lormula, "and grow up with the

"But I am only a(oy?'Au1riftn would
answer sweetly J ' exasperatldB nil
father still more by his. ready aw
quiescence In the Inevitable.
"And yon will be a boy all your life,?
Mr. Leonard would respond with too
evident dladalav of such specimen of
adolescence , , , f
Then Adrian evplved the popular
Idea that toughening process would
devlop a higher type of manhood, and
he became a weak roysterer. He re
fuse to work or to make any practP
of a fairly good education, and
spent hlf-aitowance In princely prodi
gality Then his fafteffgTrtellriuVUje
purse strings read the boy a lecture,
in which ha recounted all the disagree
able truths ha knew, sent him west and
washed bis bands of him. in spite at
the pleadings of Adrian's mother that
be would give him one more trial
.-Adrian Leonard traveled three day
AatlAigbts due west, when his money
began to give out, and he found him
self nearly destitute In the depot of t
small town, where people looked so
4 much like those he had left back In the
. east that he felt at home, especially as
neither cowboys nor , buffalo were
running wild In the streets. Leaving
, his trunk to be called for,- he took
a stroll through the streets, past hotels
and pretentious stores, looking for a
cheap boarding place and getting an
0 idea of how the land lay. : The grime
of dust and travel had improved him
already. . He looked more manly in
the cheap business suit In which he
' was beginning the world than In his
'university togs, , and he no longer
. talked with a drawl, the saving grace
of poverty making Itself visible. v
Climbing a picturesque hill of this
gralrit tow he saw a carriage load of
people coming down. Borne gay sum
mer girls were laughing and talking,
. and looked at him prettily as he lifted
: hia hat Only one bowed In recogni
tion of tha courtesy, and she neither
.. laughed nor looked amused. Bhe was
driving and the sun was shining In her
eyes, and Adrian thought her aa haad
: some as any eastern belle he had ever
seen. ... a
"She probably took me for a tramp,"
. he said to himself, but something he
saw in her face strengthened and tn
cou raged him.
At the top of th hill stood a large
frame building with many windows.
In one of these wai a sign. '
BOY WANTED, '
.. MUBt Come Well Recommended.
Adrian stopped and read It, then en
, tered the place. It happened to be
a candy factory, and It employed a
hundred girls. To . Adrian's em
barrassed eyes they counted double
that number. He had climbed to the
top floor where they worked In the big
rmind thoy all stared at him. He
addresBit one who seemed to be fore
woman. .
"You advi-T'se In the window for a
boy!"
The girl Jitn
ici in tuua to the
one nearest hr
'TeiW'e bong there's
A boy here." Then to Adrian: "Have
you brought references fromour lust
placer
"I will aiiBwor those question to
the r!;!it person," he arwwered with
a grave dTtilly which hn.,1 a good effect
on the girl. They s!ur:r-J gUrgllng

Adrian wns loth surprlsod and
pleased when he saw In the "boss" a
young man of his own age, who In his
turn asked where was the "boy" and
on Adrian's application for tho place
took him off at once to the board den
he called hit offlce. There, with 'the
freemasonry of youth aad comrade
ship, the two exchanged confidences,
and the boss of the candy factory said:
"It really seems quite providential
the way you drifted In here. . I have
a chance to go railroading, and as soon
aa yon master the situation you can
have my place. It's a windfall, for us
both." , . . ... :
"What am I to learn!" asked Adrian
with some anxiety. t t
To pay the girls and keep their time.
The candy boilers are In another build
ing and have a foreman. ..It Isn't too
easy to make all- those young things
mind and keep their good will, but you
must be firm and dlgnlfioi as a parson.
The man who owns the business 18 an
eastern man'nd yon must make your
report every week to hlm,, His family
spend their summers hera, and hia
daughter, ' with some of her friends,'
waa here Just before you came."
J "Oh, was she driving?" aske'd Adrian.
i "lea. Then you bat ! Ken , her?
Isn't ehe a picture? I tell you, the
girls up her 'adore her. Mabelle Orav
bam, that's her name, but she's Miss
Graham to par- Sweet as she looks,
ahe stands you off It's a way ehe has."
A month later Adrian Leonard was
boss of the Albion candy factory, and
the novelty of the position held him
like a charm. Something else held
htm. He knew tho lady of his dreams
to whom he hsd lifted his hat on that
first day of his new i!f..anS) he sad
hang his head Jn shame when ion pad
asked, him what he had accomplished
in his first quarfer-eentury of existence.
Bat he had honestly told her Of bis
wasted opportunities, laying the blame
where It belonged-on himself.. -;
- When Jonng Ford, the former boat
o( the candy factory, gave his position
over Jo Leonard ho had also given him
some good advice. " ' j

- He had followed Ford's advice and
gained fifteen pounds, $ His? work as
saperlntendent of the factory, gave
satisfaction to hia, . employer - and to
himself, but he looked forward to the
higher position promised by Ford, to

his first step toward "the higher llfo,
- i And one morning a tew months later
he received tbe v coveted, .Intelligence
that a position In railroad service Was
to bo offered hlat. He sat with Ford's
oheerful letter In his hand, and, look
ing tfVcT the great oWbf tire-factory
where tho noit, smiling girls were at-
tentively pursuing their work, he
wondered If he was sorry to . leave
them. ; They had become his royal sub
jects, and she Mabelle Graham, waa
bis friend. But for her sake he wanted
compllsh something heroic "and
there was more chanceXtB.'rallroad
Ufa ..1 . ,
Still looking at the letl.-r he noticed
how hot and yellow the glare of tha'
tun had become, and wondered what
(he crackling sound overhead -meant.
Tben ne sprang to his reet
I "Girls!" he called In a arm voire,
"there's a-circus coming Into town
yon can hear the band. Take a half
hour and hurry out to see it ' Don't
wait for wraps. Qo, go)'.'.,-'.'-..-'";..'.,,,-'f.
His voice waa breaking. But It waa
true, a circus waa passing, and his
quick wit had seised the opportunity.
He hadV never Joked with tbe girls and
bad demanded absolute obedience, and
Wondering . perhaps at "the' unusual
privilege accorded them, they hurried
out, their young feot tripping merrily
down tbe long staircases keeping time
to the merry music on the street.
Adrian saw that the last one was clear

She ought to. be moved In a verylow

will, when the basket I uncovered
carefully by night no lamp or Ian

not mean business she will leave her
eggs. If she shows a disposition to

: - Cuttings and Spraying.
" Pruning la the secret of successful
shrub growing, and In nearly every lo
cality can bo found a fair assortment
f shrubs and plants whose owners
would be perfectly willing to glv
away the cuttings cf each pruning;
and cuttings of such desirable shrubs
as might not be found in the neigh
borhood could easily be procured from
fe nursery for a few cents. 1 know a
young man who has several acres of
fine shrubbery, nearly all of which be
raised from cuttings procured in the
neighborhood. What would have cost
him several hundred dollars at a nur
sery only coat him a few days' labor
and some years of watting. I have
propagated thousands of willows, pop
lars, hydrangeas, altheas, toseg, splr
ears and other trees and sltmhs and
lost less than E percent of the cut
tings. . Outside of the saving, there In
a fuselnatlon in raining ones own
shrubbery, and if deferable, one oau
easily imike it a source of no Inconsid
erable profit. I know email farmer?

Wherever practicable, combined fun

a loss liability of Injuring foliage;
greater efficiency In some cases, and a
precautionary measure In ethers. This
spraying should commence very early
In the season before the fungi appears.
f we wait until their spores have ger
minated It will be too late. The only
sure method Is to commence spraying
Just a soon aa the; buds commence
swelling In the ; spring. The fungi
cides can prevent germination by de
stroying the spores or germs before
they have sent forth roots or myceli
um, but they cannot destroy tho fun
gus when It has once commenced
growth. It the' season prove dry and
hot it may not be necessary to apray
as many times aa in wet season, but
fruit growers may as well make up
their minds that they must reckon ou
the cost of spraying as among th In
evitable expense of successful, fruit
growing.-. Fortunately,, however, It la
an expense that Is only a profit In dis
guise, for tbe direct advantage derived
from spraying orchards often exceeds
$20 jer acre, and for .vlneyarJr 1
much more. The fruit crop of the
country wculd be enhanced many' mil

President of Hamilton Collage, Clinton. N.
V, spoke on "John WeaUy' but naed no
text. Aa will be seen, he paid an eloquent
tribal to th influence ot bin preaching.
Dr. Strykeraaid: .
Upon Juna 17, 1703, that is, 300 years
ago, waa born at Kpworth, Lincolnshire
10O miles (iim tondon, and at sbout tb
east centra ot England a maa whoaa in
fluence stands out supsems above all the
men of his ag.: Elgl.ty-tight yaara old, on
the 3d of March, 1701, ha died. Thus hia
life com named nearly tha whol of the
eighteenth century, snd under Ood it was
tin moat fertilizing and redeeming agency
toward tbe moral forces and accomplish
ments of the nineteenth. -And still tb
world ia debtor, snd will ever ba, to th
convictions and consecrations, the energies
and th efficiency of that on man John
Wesley. - A mighty impulse and a potent
organisation attested and attests hia ain
galar and recreative pnrpoe and achieve
ment. We may well reckon with such a
personal! tv ta considering th rnvowit ot
the modern world. Even the barest outline
records a wonder and turnithes a corrective
to a hundred aupwliiinl philosophies snd a
thousand shallow neglects. While Wes
leyana and Methodist in all land ar recit
ing that story, let ua all, with them, who
share a like precious faith recall and r
Joiee, ponder and hope.' For the elements
of it are aa deep aa tha first principles ol
th r.-kristian velioim. and tba fama and
fnrrM nf it are the common Dvieaeasion of

This man was bor Into a' horn when
life in aa age that hated anything mora
than formal religion waa excentional. The
anther that nartured him waa that 8nsan
ruth Weslev of whom Adam Clark aaid that
ha never aaw her equal. His ancestry waa
of that Puritan stock and atuff whose fiber
Of conscience had altirmed the reajrnjj

cMpny the recradwcencc of the livid
btaarta, but, tbongh brnorad, it had not de
'jorted. snd in him and bv bird it SDoka
again and bore its second harvest. ' '
Weslev beirsn hia- work in tha Estab
lished and Episcopal Church, and though
by it he was soon despised and rejected he
loved it always and cherished its better
part. ' For two years he wrought in Ueor
ia, but th 6rand Jury cf that aolony in
ieted him. Then he uttered that notable
word, "I hops to learn th aena of th gos
pel by preaching it." He came into cloe
touch with Moravians - ber-and in Eu
rope. Had that little body done nothing
else than directly to deepen, snd by its re
action to enlarge, John Wesley, it had dona
mighty work. But their narrowness he
escaped, while retaining their intensity.
Over the deep and critical experiences of
his inner heart, with its unusual combina
tion of sensitiveness snd decision, w will
hot pause." They were basal. In them h
found the Light he followed to the end. ' :
See him at Oxford. Ue waa a student
intensely to. Specially and always of logic
and language. He found in these an ample
discipline; , for language is organised
thought,- An able master of five tongues,
he learned compass and discrimination. In
his life he wrote' or edited 350 volumes.
At Oxford he waa the centre of a little
group of which hia Brother Charles, and
soon Whitfield, war others.. 1 bey began
to live by 'rule and made their protest and
example of a pure life." They served (Jod
by method all of them at this time sealout
and even ultra Episcopalians. They were
ealled the "Godly Club"-"BibU Moths"
"Methodists." Onprvbri-.m easily finds de-
t earlier this asms devotion had 'been called
f"Pnritan.'r , ';-'
Consider that eighteenth century into
which they came. It was a feculent and
rowdy age. Read Thackeray' "Four
Georges" read Leckjrs ample treatment
who aay "all the datxlmg episodes of tha
reign of George II. must yield In reaUpt
portance" to Methodism. ' Hear DChop

b Hf was debauched by the oarae and
frank corruption of the ministry of Robert
Watpol. It wa Wesley more than all
other who roused a gjiblie conscience to

Oermany, snd America. It wa Wesley

England: made possible the revival ot tb

what token this frosty estimate? In that
drunken, unclean. Insolent century, Wes
ley' I the brightest name, whether -hit
work is judged by its width or Ua depth,
whether by ita immediate or it permanent
resnit. .. .. ,. - -
When conformity and nonconformity
wer alike moribund, he renewed th indi
vidualism of' ths gospel meaaage, personal
ised ita appeal and rediscovered mankind!
Do not forget that this (tartipg point of
modern religious history wu within th
walls of a college, and lay in the devoted
ness and relentless aggressiveness of a few
men.
The work began ia tb open air. Whit
field, with hia lively and unselfish charac
ter Snd that wendroaaly (motional voir,
led th way among tb collier of Kings
wood in Cornwall. ' England waa full of pa
gan poverty, and thia new departure to
ward th "submerged" and the forgotten,
this human compulsion of a seal that te up
neglect and its embittcrmenta, broke once
for all with the traditions of apathy, 1'hcu
John Wesley stormed Bristol town. Little

Lwh.t a chord they had struck, as their in!
aid mea know, little did these men know,
oomitabie tervor and unintermittent ag
areasion hurled out of their wu the thinirs
that would have obstructed them and one
mora reached after the soul of the common
nan. It waa a radical return to th sim
plicity of Christ, and it had to fac th
frown and scorhiiga of those who do alwaya
resist the spirit of what ia real and uncom
promising.
The harvest Was' white and had
lor
ona- been unattemnted. The work waa
born nnder the sky, baptized by the tears
of the lowly, hailed by the new Mnga of
tens 01 tiioiiaanns under the dome ot ud!
It went with Chriat after the lost sheep,
and swept the very dust for th lout Jewell.
It did not reach down from an attitude of
stiff condescension and patronatre, but
reached out from the universal level of
human sympathy and childlike love. And
it proved by its errand and result that be
who wants the sonis of inen enough to go
after them in Christ's way can have them.
This 'is the method of the evanmd for
which th world ia aching and suirving.

What real prophets have not met opposi
tion? These men war "ehtit out of the
svnagoguee" of th estaHishment. They
!'faced frowning world." Thay knew all
Indignities. Mobs led by squires and clergy
men dragged them through horse ponds and
howled against their livea. Nothing was
too foul to fling at them with hand and
tongue. Not a man of all the bishops save
Samuel Butler took their part.' But despis
ing hardships and dangers, they frrew, and
upon tb church tliat disowned them they
Eut tn mdellible mark.' Being defamed,
bey entreated, snd they lived to tee opin
ion eeange. i
What a illncese waited this apostolic man
John Wesley! He touched t,vro hemis
pheres. Nav, all the ends of the earth,
and his hand n stretched out still. In 1760
Methodism began In America, Wesley at
his death declared, "The best c-sflT llod
is with os.w There were tiiea 813 of his
preacher in England: in the United States,
If. Now in Great Britain there are 700,
000 communicants, in Canada 300,000, in the
United States 8,000,000, who recur to that
new Pentecost. At length in 1876 Dean
Stanley nnveiled In Westminster Abbeys
tablet with th shining profiles of John
Wesley and Charles. Tardily but at last
did a state church which in their day
"knew not the tim of its visitation" at;
test the reflex Influence of its prophets aa i.
own a work so grandly done! , . "
In Jnhn Wesley tremendous toil ind a ,
ran gift for 6nran1iatio and order and
tha loftiest spiritual enthuslasnr-apd sim
ple purpose to do one thint were united in
the proportion of genius. Gro tv

That estimate Wesley survive aa Paul does
and Luther and Lnvola. He ia of the few
who make eras. He had large sense and .
system. Ha wrought witu mighty industry
for half n century. No moment wns
wssted.- With a giant energy. he preached
COO time a year for fifty years. And yet
with this passion for work lie had nure
and calm mind. Self-denying, refined,
sweet tempered, considerate, he had tho
scholar's vision and a saintly heart. "In
seventy years," he said, 'I have not lost a
night's sleep. "I save all I can and give
all I get." "Make all you can by industry,
ut all van pun tiv ..ennnmv. iriv all Toll
ean by liberality ." Thus he was rich to
ward God. Peculiarities he had; let small
souls count them. Strifes there were, but
who for the logical differences be
tween Wesley snd Whitfield, since both
preached the evangel of a holy and imme
diat decision. Thank God for that good
home at Epworth and for that Susannah's
tons! ;;;; ; !..).-' .! . -k .
Let ns all see that religion is not in ru
bric and rite, but in devoted hearts and
lives, unsophisticated by the bribes ol cus
tom, undaunted by the oppositions of hol
low tradition, instant to serve, tireless to
effect results, believing God! For one may
