The Portland district Women's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Church will hold Its annual meeting Hester and Her Gold. ONCE upon a time there lived a woman who had two daughters, Jane, her own daughter, and Hester, her step-daughter. Jane would never help her mother and spoke cross to her many times, but Hester was a good girl and helped her step-mother and never said unkind things. They were very poor,, and one day Hester was working in the garden wondering if the vegetables would grow and keep them from starving, when she saw something shining'in the earth. She picked it up and found it was a piece of gold. She pushed aside the earth and found another piece; she hurried into the house to show her good luck to her step-mother and sister. "Where did you find it?" asked Jane. When Hester told her Jane hurried out to the garden and dug around the vegetables, spoiling some of them in her eagerness to find the gold, but she did not find it and she same back to the house feeling very cross. "You should give me one piece," she told Hester. "The garden belongs to me as much as to you. "I shall spend it all for food." Hester replied, "and you will receive as much as anyone. But Jane was not satisfied. She wanted the gold, and so Hester gave her one of the pieces. The next morning Jane said: "I am going to the city to buy a silk gown.' "You are a selfish girl," said her mother. "Hester has given you half of what she found and will spend the rest for food, and you are going to the city to spend your gold for a dress for Yourself. "I am tired of living here." replied Jane, "and I am going to buy a silk gown and live in the city." and she went out of the house without saying "good-bye" to her mother or Hester. She had walked along only a short distance when she met an old beggar woman. ."Please help me." said the beggar: "I am faint with hunger." "I cannot help you." replied Jane. "I am on my way to the city to buy a silk gown, and I cannot be bothered with beggars. "Will you help me to a well where "Wear-Ever" Coupons to appear in news papers next week.

"I' must hurry to the city," and she left the poor old woman standing In the road. The same day Hester told her step mother she was going to the next town to buy food, "and I will bring you a new cap, too," she said. "You are a good girl," said the step mother, "you are kinder to me than my own daughter." Hester kissed her step-mother and went down the road. On the way she met the same beggar that Jane . had refused to help. "Please help me." said the old beg gar, "I am faint and must have food." "I have no rood to give you, oi" Hester, "but I will give you a drink of tool water from the well yonder, and If you will wait until I return from town I will bring you food." The old lady was glad to have the water and said she would wait until Hester returned from town. Hester hurried away and bought the . i i . i .. 1-. ii Etun-innther.

N'e-w York City. "About five years ago my little boy. then 7 years old. was very ill with gastritis, then he con. tracted measles from the other chil dren, pneumonia soon followed, and there seemed no hope of saving his life. However, we fought off the disease and he recovered, but was, in a very weak and delicate condition. "The doctor prescribed cod liver oil. but his little stomach swelled up like a drum, and the doctor said there was no cure for him. I decided to try Vlnol, as I had used It myself with splendid results, and it seemed to agree with him. That bloated condition soon dis appeared, and now he is a strong, healthy boy. thanks to Vinol." Mrs. Thomas Fitzgerald, 1090 Park Ave., New York City.
