The Best of All That Was Offered
to the Minister.
By ELIZABETH VAN NEST.
[CopyrlRht. 1009. by Associated Literary
Press.]
If the young minister had been of a
sanguine, easily satisfied temperament
he might have accommodated himself
to circumstances ami drifted aloug as
his predecessors had done. Hut James
Morgan brought the enterprise of a
modern theologian to tho little liamlot,
straggling down either side of a high
hill, on a summit of which perched
the church, like n snow temple.
As the church occupied the center of
the village, the young minister reason
ed that It ought to be the center of
Interest also. But, try as he would, he
could not awaken the devotional spirit.
His parishioners were, niggardly in
their offerings, the attendance was
small and Interest slight. Ills sermons
were lost on the slow thinking wor
shljK>rs: his musical departures were a
failure.
Hut the Rev. Mr. Morgan did pot
despair. He had the square jaw that
accompanies the aggressive nature.
The elasticity of his hopes was phe
nomenal. lie simply would not be
discouraged. He had accepted the call
In full kuowledge of the drawbacks.
The score of shabby houses classed
under the name of Mayhood repre
sented only a tithe of the church mem
bership. It was the prosperous farm
ers whose IndtfTerence he must change
and conquer with his eloquence.
So James Morgan brought to May
hood a large stock of air castle mate
rial with which he beguiled his leisure.
He would institute many reforms. The
church should escape from an envelop
ing mortgage and, assuming a paying
basis, make many missions glad from
its plenty. It should be the mainspring,
social and ecclesiastical, on which
the village turned. He even proposed
that the parsonage be let and the
proceeds devoted to the county hos
pital, a proposal tlmt met with unani
mous approval, and the minister took
up his residence under Widow Flem
ing's roof.
Until the end of tlie nrst quarter
things moved smoothly. The new min
ister found work to do wherever he
looked. And. being generous, he for
got to be cnut lous when ueed pulled
at his purse strlugs. Hardly realizing 1
It. he at length found his generosity j
must he governed by his means until I
he received liis first quarter's salary.
But at the end (4' the second quarter
the Orst quarter's salary was still un- :
paid. With a board bill two weeks in
delinquency the minister, blushing and
stammering. informed his parishioners
of their negligence.
While their profuse excuses satisfied
him, he could not see his way clear to
satisfy Mrs. Fleming. The fact that
wheat was a failure would not recom
pense her for his board and lodging, j
Therefore the Rev. Mr. Morgan did the |
only thing possible from his point of ?
?V\v. lie went to the city next day |
wt?h a mysterious package. Shortly j
aftvr the doctor drove three miles to
borrow his microscope and was in- 1
formed that he had disposed of it.
"I hfcre so little time for experi- 1
ments, >ou know," he explained, with I
heightened color. "I could use the
m.mey to better advantage."
I-'roro thli emanated a rumor that at
length reacted Barbara Dean's ears. .
The new minister was so philanthropic j
he had ;;iven up his pet hobby to aid
the poor.
A wee aud tinjd question mark set
Itself upon her heart. Perhaps she had
been hasty. TIumi was none quite like
him? so big. so firm, so brave. It was
very singular that he had not asked
again? he who In theory scorned de
feat. rretty Barbara did not know
that the hope crushed by her laughing
was the only inelastic one in his stock
of dreams.
As the third quarter drew to a close ,
without remuneration the minister
mentioned the fact again, tills tlihe
with /ewer blushes and a graver air. !
His needs were urgent. Pay after day
he scanned his mall anxiously for the ,
exis ted check, only to be disappoint
ed. But. appreciating the hard times,
other trips to the city with mysterious
packages were made.
Returning from one of these visits
one night. Mr. Morgan was surprised
to see a motley collection of teams
end vehicles arouud Widow Fleming's
gate. Bights shone from every win
| dow of the cottage. Including ills study
I and bedroom. The minister was tired
and iu no mood to participate in a
surprise party on his landlady. But,
knowing her "limited space, it would be
churllih to demand privacy. He must
meet her guests, who had overflowed
her apartments Into his, with minis
terial welcome. Forcing the weariness
from his fa?e, he ran lightly up the
steps and opened his study door.
Ranged aroitnd the wall was a solid
row of chair* from which smiling
faces glowed upon him in welcome.
Overrunning the center table and plied
on the floor was u collection that at
I first seemed to be the stock of a gro
cery store. He singled out a sack of
flour and various stone jugs with corn
cob stoppers as he picked his way to
a small oasis of bare floor beyond.
But stumbling against "-on? of the
bulging packages, the paper burst and
a stream of walnuts poured forth.
'?Pardon me!" he gasped, trying to
repair the damage on his knees. "Very
awkward of me, I'm sure."
The silence was portentous, and,
flushed with confusion, the minister
locked up straight Into Barbara Dean's
eyes The light In thera. tirtallzlnf.
amused, tra;i his undoing. The walntrta
slipped from his grasp and, striking
another bag, liberated a peck of pop
corn. He stood up guiltily.
"Please forgive uie, Mrs. Fleming,"
he apologized. "I am sorry if'my awk
wardness has disclosed your gifts too
soon."
"They're not Mis' Fleming'*," correct
ed Doacon Brown. "They're yours.
We thought we'd give you a donation
'stead of money, times are so hard."
The Rev. Mr. Morgan unconsciously
backed a step. "For me? But, deacon,
I have no use for these? er? raw com
modities. It is very kind of you? but?
but"?
"Besides this, there's a side of meat
and a flrkln of butter outside," put in
Mrs. Flemlug proudly. "Now that
you've seen them I'd better take tho
molasses out too. It's no warm in
here," picking up two of the Jogs.
"By all means," said the minister,
wiping his forehead, and in the gen
eral conversation that ensued he found
himself near Barbara Dean.
"I did not expect to see you," he said
lu a low voice.
"I nm spending ? few days with
Cousin Bess," she answered. "Are
you so devoted to Maywood that you
have forgotten your old friends?"
"Only those who wished to forget
me," significantly; then, With a de
spairing glance at the loaded table,
"What shall I do with It?" he asked.
"A family of ten could not consume
that perishable stuff before It spoils.
Why did they brlug so much?"
"The unwritten law of a donation
party Is that none may attend without
bringing a present," Bhe said com
posedly.
"Then what special donation must I
thank you for," Ironically? "the sack
of flour?"
She laughed. His dismay was ao
comk-al. She did not know the desper
nte state of his finances. "I did not
bring anything," she said. "I could
not? to you."
Something lu her voice lent sudden
flexibility to his most Inelastic hope.
With her love to cheer him on he
would yet make of Maywood his ideal
church.
"Come with me u moment," he said,
lending her to the deserted window
nearest the church. "1 had bright
dreams when I came here, Barbara,"
he went on. "I have learned to love
the church and the people. If I go
away now my work will be wasted.
But I think I shall go when my year
Is up."
"Where?" she asked quickly.
"Anywhere? to any church that pays
a salary," desperately. "That collec
tion represents my work for nine
months. It Is not enough, Barbara.
You said that no one may attend a
donation party without a prese#t I
am waiting for yours. If you want me
to stay here you must do your p?/t
The deacons and olders have looked
ufter the needs of the material man.
You must provide for his spiritual
nature."
She played with the widow's best
curtains nervously. "You Mid you
would not ask me again," aho re
minded.
"I hare not. You did well to say
no," bitterly. "If my work is worth
only butter and flour you are Justified
In forgetting mo as quickly as possi
ble. .Uiywood can keep Its donation.
I shall leave at once."
A change flashed across her pretty
face. The mischief vanished, and In
its place stole a tender blush. "Don't
be hasty, James," she whispered, with
a furtive glance over her shoulder.
"Perhaps with my donation we can
use the rest. When will the parson
age be empty?"
"I'll give the tenant notice tomor
row," he answered happily. Then,
under cover of the widow's voluminous
curtains, with the church looking on
In solemn witness, he accepted her do
nation with a kiss.
Using a Life Preserver.
"The worst trouble about a life pre
senter, " said an old sailor, "is that few
people know what to do with one
when It's thrown to tbem. Many a
man would drown In trying to get ft
life preserver over his bead. The av
erage person struggling about in the
water would try to lift up tbe big life
ring and put It over his head. That
only causes the man to alnk deeper
and take more water into his lungs.
"The proper way to approach a life
preserver In the water Is to take hold
of the side nearest you and press
upon it with fill your weight That
causes the farther side to fly op In
the air and down over your head,
'ringing' you as neatly as a man ring
ing a cane at a country fair. After
that the drowning man can be res
cued."? Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Tho family bad hoard that bachelor
TJnclo Joe was going to got married,
and there had been much caustic com
ment over the coming event, mingled
with many expressions of sympathy
for bis fate at the bands of the de
signing woman who had captured him,
all of which were overheard by the
keen and open eared six-year-old boy
of the family.
'Ta," su Id tho youngster one day,
"I hear Uncle Joe is going to bo mar
rlod next week.!'
"Yes," said the father. "Uncle Joe
has only three days more."
The little boy sighed. "The last
three days," ho said, "they give them
everything to eat thjit they ask for,
don't they, pa?"
Striving.
If Mil the end of this continuous striving
Were simply to attain,
How poor would soom the planning and

The endless urging and the hurried drlv

Of body, heart and brain!
But ever In the wako of truo achieving
There shine* this glowing trail?
Borne other soul will be spurred on, con

New strength and hope, In Its own power
believing,
Bccause thou didst not fall.
Not thine alone the glory nor tho sorrow
If thou doat miss the goal.
Undreamed of lives In many a far tomor

From thoo their weakness or their forco

On, on, ambitious soul!

A Good Definition.
In one of the New York schools sev
eral of the children in one class failed
on the definition of the word bachelor.
The teacher, to impress the meaning
of the word on the minds of the pu
pils, told the class to look up the word
that night and come prepared with a
good definition the next day.
When the question was taken up at
the next scission the first little girl
who was asked to define the word an
swered with a confident and smiling
air, "A bachelor is n very happy
man."
The teacher grew interested. "Are
you sure that Is correct?" she asked
the little one.
"Oh, yes," was the prompt reply.
"Father told me eo."

In favor of Doan's Kidney Pills as

1 had the most severe pains across
