HER MISTAKE. Ity I'niil arson. i He wns the editor of a greit reun ions weekly, ami entitled to have "I"). IV written after his name, also other portions of the nlpliahe;. (hie morn ing, in his mail, tln-re was a dainty letter signed. 'LliMheth Eat cm Adams." It said: "Is there anything on your paper that a woman can do? I used to write for several religious papers. I am a stranger lure, recently from Delphi, nnd it is necessary that I should earn something. Am a typewriter but not a stenographer." Mrs. Adams she was n widow hoped that the Itev. Kdwanl Barstnw, I). D., would remember her. Years be fore, he had been pastor of the church to which she belonged in Delhi. Hut the had been a quiet, timid member confining her efforts at reforming the world to an earnest endeavor to make her own iif- what It should be, and a weekly contribution to aid the church in doing likewise, ' The Rev. Edward Uurslow did not ' remember lior, and small wonder. He had met thousands of more or less prominent people since that early pas torate, and there was nothing remark- : able about Mrs. Adams. He read her timid epistle and was distinctly bored. There were fo many like It! Mrs. I Adams had enclosed a stamp for a re ply, and he meant to send a courteous note, saying that "we" could do noth ing for her; tut he was Interrupted, the letter was pigeon-holed, which in an editorial sanctum means obliterated and Mrs. Adams became a victim of "hope deferred" waiting for a letter that never came. Her postage stamp was unconsciously utilized by the Rev. Edward Barstow in accepting a lecture engagement As a matter of fact, Mrs. Adams had considerable literary ability, but little knowledge of business methods. She could not realize that the letter so Important to her was of little conse quence to a busy editor who has no time to answer all the applications he must negative, even if he remembers them. So, with the unconscious egot ism which Is present even in modest persons, she came to regard herself as having been slighted because more Important matters caused her letter to he lost sight of. Being a Christian, she wanted to write for a religious paper, believing her talent should be consecrated; therefore she waited patiently awhile. But the need of earning something grew more pressing, and Just at this time she met a man of experience, a pretty good sort of a man, too. one who scorned meanness, whose honor was untarnished, who had a great warmhearted chivalry toward all wom en, but who was thoroughly posted as to the ways of the world, and especial ly the business world. He was a cous in of the lady with whom Mrs. Adams boarded. He wan away when Mrs. Adams came there, otherwise the let ter to the Rev. Edward Barstow, D. D., would never have been w.-ltten, for George Hamilton had not known Mrs. Adams a week before he was In pos session of the facts bearing upon this attempt of hers to get a living. He laughed when the story was ended. "My dear Mrs. Adams," be said, "don't you know better than to go to a religious paper to get remunerative work? The average secular publica tion has a rule that what is worth printing ia worth paying for, but this rule is not always enforced by relig ious papers, which have their reg"ar corps of known writers, and contribu tions from persons who think their talents should be consecrated to their religion, and do not look for worldly reward. That is a high and noole be lief for those who can afford it, but you cannot, and the sacrifice Is not expected from you. If the Lord has given you a talent that will enable you to live by selling Its product He ex Bacts you to sell It, and If you cannot sell It to religious publications, It fol lows that you should offc?r your wares wlip-e there Is a market for them.'' "Hut only religious papers want re ligiuiis articles." "Very true; but can't you write any tl.ll::; else?" "1 never tried." "Then try. If you raised corn on ycur land and there was no market for corn, the sensible thing lo do would bo to Iind out what would sell, and raise that. Here." and ho handed her now sparer, "read Bargain Day and Coniiany's Imposing advertisement and see If you cannot write a better one. Let me have the copy tonight. There la money In advertisement writ ing." That night Mrs. Adams gave George Hamilton an advertisement of "Bar pain Day nnd Company's" goods, crude certainly, yet showing that she had caught the idea of successful advertlse n.ent writing. Mr. Hamilton In earlier days had himself been a writer of ad vertisements nn(j vyas well fitted to teach the nrt to an apt pupil. In a month the lady was a capable writer In this Held, and 111 a year sho possessed a good income. Despite the opinions of the man of experience, that talents should in variably be used for profit, Mrs. Adams had lier own views ahmit hers; so it happened that many a lllt'.e poem com forted some tired heart, many a tender, eurnrst sketch lifted a soul upward nnd onward. Phe wrote such "pieces" as often as possible. Incidentally she received neither money nor fame for them. Also she found a strung. lug lit tle church In the suburbs of the great city, and consecrated more of her tal ents, and a Good deal of her money to it. (nice she met the clerical editor. He had consented to lecture for the bene fit of the organ fund at the little church to which Mrs. Adams belonged, for ho, too, could make n Eacrillce to his religion. He called her "sister." an 1 wondered where he had seen her be fore, having a good memory for faces; but he did not connect her with his almost forgotten pastorate in Delhi. Mrs. Adams did not fed hurt. Con tact with the world of business had shown her for how little any one in dividual counts, and the unreasonable ness c,f expecting a man who had met thousands of persons, all pretty nearly alike in his estimation, to remember one of the mass. She was too well bred to remind him where they had previously met, but wisely took up the acquaintance on a new basis that of their mutual Interest; temporary on his side, abiding on hers in a strng bling church in which both cheerfully consecrated a measure of their Gcd cjven talents and forgot the business jar which had once threatened to shake her faith. For her religion was deep and true, and dominated even her Judgments. Six months later, having found a letter from Elizabeth Eaton Adams among some forgotten papers, it did not occur to the Reverend Edward Bar stow that the writer was the Mrs. Adams who was largely responsible for the now steady growth of a church of his own denomination on the West Side, or that he had ever given her offence. So, as what one doesn't know doesn't hurt one, these two went their separate ways in peace, and the man of experience was never aware that he was a good Samaritan. Waverley. Where He Stood. Of all the yarns that ever came down the line regarding deep mud the following should be entitled to the blue ribbon. It happened In the place where mud originated. A man was walking along the road side one summer day and noticed a fairly good looking hat out in the road. Reaching out with his cane he gave It a cut and was startled to hear a voice exclaim: "Here, what the deuce are you doing?" Then he made the astonishing dis covery that the owner of the bead piece was under the hat up to his ears in mud. "Great heavens!" exclaimed the man who bad hit the hat. "Is that mud as deep as that?" "Deep!" cried the victim, "Why man alive, I'm standing on a load of hay!" Llppincotts Magazine. Germans Stay at Home, There is rejoicing In Germany over the fact that according to recent sta tistics less than 20,000 emigrants left the country last year. In the "80c the number of emigrants to the United States alone was over rather than un der a quarter of a million. The re Joiclng la well founded, since It Is evi dent that Germany is now so strong economically that she can not only support the annual growth of popula tion but also give employment to the thousands and tens of thousands she formerly sent abroad. The character of the emigration, as well as its numeri cal amount, has changed, as the statis tics make plain. New York Sun. Peel pumpkin and chop until about as fine as shelled corn, then dry.
