After the ceremony is over the doors of the clib rooms will be thrown open for the pub- lic generally.

When I was keeping tne Biggs house, (ycars ago, there came there a boy, who urged me so hard to give him work that I concluded to try him. It was work he wanted. I saw he wasa pusher and meant busmess, and when he told me he would work for his board rather than be idle, I was pleased. I gave him a chance to work around the house, and paid amonth and his board. I teld him cn he got achance to get a_ better sort of a job I would help him into it if I could. I never had a more faithful boy around me. He worked like a nailer. One day he came to me and said_he thought he could get a place in the postoftice bookstore, There wasn't quite so much in it on the start, counting his board, but he thought he had better take it, and T thought so, too. He kept boarding with me and working along, and one night he told me that he heard of a position in the railway office under Morse, who was then the agent. He thought he would try and get it. I told him he could go to work there in the morning if he wanted to, and that very night I went to Morse, told him what sort of a fellow Rohrer was, and he said for me to send him down in the morning. Then he went to work there. Yes. Rohver has worked -himself up. He's a pusher, and as faithful as he is energetic.” s Guns of all kinds at Odell & Bryant's, 504 S.

Mackey delivered a very practical, everyday discourse yesterday morning from the text ‘“Therefore for thy name's sake lead thou me and guide me.” “Life," said the speaker, *with all its mul- titudes of changes and vicissitudes, its stories. of joy and _sorrow, triumph and defeat, can be summed up in a few short sentences, Life is made up of a few crices, and around them are grouped the circumstances which form the every day detail of existence. The im- portant feature in human life is its lack of continuity. Think over your past life and in- stantly there springs up a few events which stand as figurcheads of the whole. Your first love; your first temptation and fall, or triumph. Your first great loss—that which rent your heart and soul and flooded the fu- ture with tears and regrets. These mark the epochs in your llife and mine, It is nature's law—the plan of all existence, and there is no cessation, The flow is ever passing out- ward and returns not to its source. ‘We inherit a certain amount of force at birth and this is expended as we live and meet the realities which confrontus. This it is which gi us the victory or the lack of 1t which dooms us to defeat. We are not the architects of our own fortunes. We think we govern our own acts, but He who reads our hearts and witnesses our struggles knows better. Ido not mean to say we have nO power over our own acts, but we have no control over the circumstances which make these epochs in our lives. All human experi- enco is not the same. It varys in all liyes, hearts are like musical instruments, "The same circumstances do not produce the same vibrations in all. The hand of a great sor- row strikes these strings and a discord rends the air. Out of this river of tears one will come stronger and better, while another will go down into destruction and forgetfulness. To-duy ‘we stand face to face with a year that has gone. What has it brought to ust What shall stand to our record as a result of its coming and going? Do we face a great sorrow! Be strong to bear it. Do we face a great temptationt He strong to over- come it. Has it brought us a great fall? arise, and in the strength of Him who was more than man, and who has promised to be with us, wrest from the hund of failure a grand success, Once a year is not too often to stand face to face with conscience and ask what sorrows mean, Have they brought us ne 1o Go If not they have been in vain, of no value to us, for whose benefit they were given, At least you can rawse a psilm of thanksgiving and a prayer for the blessings you have reccived. There are wrongs you can remedy. Do it. Do justice to all, and honor to whom honor is_due, God pity us in our poor, human weakness as we jostle against each other inthe pathway of life. God pity us all in our pitiful strife. Let us all determine to be more human ; more loving and kind; more considerate of the weaknesses and failings of our fellows; more helpful to cach other in our mutual struggle to win from life the greatest things which it and eternity has with which to crown conscien- tious huwman life. e Prayers of the World. The week of prayer, which has just begun, will be observed by the religious people of the city In common with those of the civilized world. The Evangelical alliance suggests the following programme, which will be gen. erally adopted : Monday, January 2—Thanksgiving: access to God : for His swers to prayers: for the growing spirit of christinn unity: for peace; for ever-widen- ing fields of evangelization; for souls gath- ered to Christ.

Pcople Whose Rules of Life tical With Those of Bible Providence Journal: On Sunda, L the hest time to see this colony, because then it offers the strangest and strongest contrast with the life which surrounds it. East Broadway is the thor- oughfare in this colony. once grand avenue of the rich Quakers of forty years ago—the street that led to the houses of the progenitors of Henry Bergh and Berry Wall and the now aristocratic Rooseve The solid big houses are there yet, with their high stoops and broad frontsand mansion-like appearance but how changed, how sadly changed, Pillows and earpets hang from their upper windows, what were once the dining rooms and parlors are packed thick with workmen and workwomen making clothing, and the windows and walls are lined with bales of the cheapest coats and trousers imaginable. Queer, blousy women in greasy wigs and very odd-looking men in long beards are running hither and thither. The roadway and gutt. are full of refuse und waste, the airisheavy with bad odors, the by h on all the window panes is the breath of squalor neglect and indifference to appearance and comfort. Ve strange signs ar over the doors. The characters are Hebrew. The only words we can read are the proper names, nearly all ending in the letters “sky” or “ski.” Sunday 1o these foll toall but the liberal Hebrews, Monday is to us. There is only one way in which they observe our Sabbath. That is by closing their theaters. They do this because our laws forbid their being opened. By mounting any one of a dozen flights of steps we can step from New York to modern Asia Minor. almost to ancient Judea. It is in the synagogue that this change confronts us. They are bare, forlorn places—mere rooms full of benches—but they are highly important to this strange community. Hore the rabbis preside, and the rabbi.is, as he used to be, the chief source of authority and wisdom. He preaches here on Sat- urdays, teaches school all the week, holds court perpetually as a judge before whom all dissensions and disputes are brought, ma , christens, confirms, blesses, advises, exhorts, chastises, and, in a word, guides and controls his flock. Like nearly all the men he wears a vel vet cap, and like all the refrains from shaving his_beard. His language is sometimes Hebrew, but in most cases he ses the tongue of his people, a singular ixture of ‘Hebrew and Poli: or He- brew and the tongue of whatever other race he belongs to. All about the neighborhood are bookstores and the books are all printed in one polyglot or another corresponding with the talk of the people. The young girls are more or less fair and pleasing to the eye. The majority are swart, but some are very fair blondes with golden tresses. All the married women look alike, however, for all have shaved their heads and wear wigs—of black hair, proceeding in their looks from little stems of cord or horse hair. It is said that this mechanism of the wig does not show when they are new, but I never saw one that did not show its secrets any more than I ever saw a Chinaman’s queue that was not length- ened with black thread or horse hair. These married women are made to look still less attractive by their fashion of wearing their waistband almost under their armpits. The strongest predilection is for red dresses, and their next strongest is for wearing them for lengths of time exceeding human_belief. Their wigs serve in- stead of other head covering, so that one is next to never seen in a hat or bonnet, no matter where or how far she goes. E on railroad journeys they go bareheaded. They aré not allowed to cover while in church, whnerve they sit apart from the men, and I have heard that among the strictest of the orthodox the women may not cover in the presence of their husbands. How- ever, a perusal of Deuteronomy and Levitscus (which I beg to state are books in the bible) will show exactly what the strictest rulesof the race were, and, in the main, remain to-day. re I Life in Montana. San Francisco Chronicle: Montana must be altogether a Vlcusxml country. Democracy seems to obtain in a form which would perhaps please the anarch- ist, if the anarchist did not want all things and all people to work for his personal comfort. The gambling houses there are all proudly lubeled so that you cannot mistake them for ¢hurches or private residences. ‘Licensed Gambling {ouse’ is there in full, big print, and in those e ng establishments which men and women, negroes, Chinese and Indians gamble in utter annihilation of race prejudices. Money bet levels all ranks 1n race and makes the white, yel- low and red men brothers, perhaps with the same difference in personal ideas of value as the chips. The most prominent hotel is looked upon as a palatial, The Dbed roomsare six by four. One can under- stand why they gamble there. But Montana is not any worse than Cali- fornia used to be. There were placesin this state where woman's rights had reanched a painful settlement by the adoption by women of men’s privileges. A friend of mine tells how once he was staging it through a rough mining country, and in. the stage were two ladies going from one mining camp to another in pursuit of change of air. The snow was deep on the ground, and my friend hauled out his pocket flask ‘and handed it very politely to the other men in the coach. They took a sip. and when he had taken one himself he prepared to put it back in his pocket. The two ladies had watched the proceeding closely, and when they saw him pre- pare to put it away one of them burst out: “iSay. Sal, get on to the son of a gun. He ain’'t even goin’ to offer us a drink." " Time's Whirligig. How those who once lived in the cab- ins of the *“‘quarters’ are moving on the plantation halls is thus illustrated by the Savannah (Ga.) News: A great many of the plantations in the different parts of the south, which were once well known for their size, the mag- nificence of the residences upon them, the lmsruulily of their owners on ac- count of the prominence of the families which possessed them, are now falling into ruins. The reason of this is, per- haps, that the land has been worked so long without being fertilized that it has become poor, or it may be that those into whose possession it has passed lack the energy and skill which are required to malke it pay under the present system of labor. One of those famous old places, in Liberty county, this state, was lately sold to a colored man for $2,500, only a part of the purchase price being re- quired at once. It is known as Laurel iew, and is within two miles of the historic town of Sunbury. It was the home of the gifted John Elliott, and a very beautiful home it was. John Elliott represented Georgia in the United States senate from 1820 to 1826. The plantation contains 2,800 acres. It was purchased during the war of seces- sion by Linton Stephens, a brother of Alexander H. Stephens, and was sold to the present owner by his heirs, The district in which the plantation is situ- ated was noted, from the first settlement, of the state until the emancipation of the slaves, for the intelligence and wealth of its citizens, It is now, how- ever, almost entirely abandoned to the colored people. Its great plantations have been divided into small farms, and the superb mansions, once the homes of men noted for wealth and culture, and of women famous for beauty and refine- ment, are falling into decay, and are being replaced by cabins and huts, whose chimneys of sticks and mud tell more Vluinly than words of the marvel- ous change for the worse which has taken place in the once rich and pros- perous district. Caught by a Devil Fish. St. Louis Republican: “What’s wanted below there?” called the mate as he leaned overthe rail, having heard Webb's ery of alarm as we were sitting in the yawl, painting the ship half u mile off the beach at Barbadoes. Lt aw something go under the boat, sir.” “Oh, you did. Well, if you bawl out again you'll feel something go under your jacket.” I began work again and had been at itonly a few minutes when the yawl heaved away fromthe ship three or four feet. and at the same instant the hoy screamed out “again. His voice had scarcely reached my ears when some- thing flashed before my eyes, something caught my arm and‘pulled it down and pinned it fast to my body, and in five seconds more I knew what had hap- pened. A devil fish_had flung one of his arms about me. Webb was scream- ing at the top of his voice and, as I got a look at him, I saw that two of the beast’s feelers were clutching him. The arm or feeler which had reached me pinned my arm to my sideasif in a vice, making a clean wrap around my body, and the extreme end of the feeler crept along my neck and face. Talk of pain. Inever felt anything like it. It was a burning, biting, blis- tering sensation, as if a live coal had been laia on the flesh, I added .my yells to those of Webb, but before any one came to the rail I was jerked to my knees in the boat and saw the crea- ture’s object was to pull me overboard. I heard the boy go down and thrash about, and three of the men came to our assistance. The devil fish had outwitted himself. He had gone under the ship and fast- ened to her bottom or keel, and as soon as he began pulling on us of course he pulled the yawl close against the shi‘)‘s side. That closed the gap, and he could not pull us overboard. Then the men began to cut and hack and slash with their knives, and efter two or three minutes they had us free—not of the arms, but of the creature. We were hoisted on board, howling and groaning, with the feelers still bit- ing, and they had to be cut from us almost by inches. The devil fish minded the loss of his three arms for only half an hour, at the end of which time he clutched the empty boat, half capsized her,and swam twice around the ship as a defiance to the crew. Two or three musket balls were fired into him, and he sank out of sight, to be seen no more during our stay. e ——— Three C's—There are three ¢’s that seize the children and carry them off, The three c¢'s are colds, coughs, and croup!
