Many- forces conspired to the -estab- llshment ' of the work as it now Is. Chief among- these must be accounted the vital energy and the broad under standing; brought to the work by Edgar P. Hill. D. D., then pastor of the First Presbyterlsn church. now occupying the chair of homlletlcs at the McCormlck . i neoiogy- seminary, Chicago. He came fresh from such labors In the east, with a deep understanding of the needs of the people and of the value of such organised work. Mat Free Reading Room. ' .

' refined -women and through the plays and childish - Indus tries of the chud garden. The little ones had a aeries of leasona leading up to Easter and celebrated the season of Joy with an egg hunt which gave them unlimited delight. - A - very helpful department is that known as the mothers' club, which has after long and discouraging efforts at laat found foothold and is now attend ed by 40 mothers of that part of town and especially by those whose children are Interested in the classes. They are mostly working mothers, who have lit tle leisure time, but It shows what or ganised labor will do when these wom en are able to make, as they did last year, two crib quilts which they gave to the Baby home, one large quilt for the Children's home and another which was given to the Crittenton borne. : Mothers Help Themselves. ' When these women become Interested so that they not only work for them selves, but aid others. It shows that they are being reached in a wholesome way. The mothers gather In the after noon and devote the flrat half hour to sewing carpet rags. They have sold six ruga, the result of this work, and the calt-Of the yellow alren.

Even Herodotus; "the father of history , .related an amusing fable of a gigantic race of anta which dug gold from the earth in the country northwest of India. ' To the present-day traveler thla is not entirely a fable. One may see In a small space hundreds of -Tibetan gold dlks-era, enveloped - In thick blankets, working on their hands and knees, often using as digging tools the horns of an telopes. They, even sleep in that posi tion. Did they work thus in Herodotus' day. and were they the ants he meant? Today's conquest or darkest Africa Is not on of biological research: It Is aH conquest for gold..

Following the sewing comes a short devotional service. Musical programs are given and helpful talks. Dr. French gave a talk not long ago on the care of the eyes, Dr. Whltesldes gava tnem advice on the feeding; of children and others have aiven of their plentltude. Refreshments are served st the social hour. This year through the sale of the ruga the mothers' club hopes to be self-supporting. They recently' .fur nished the . refreshments for a social evening to which' the fathers were in vited and they became very much In terested In the work which their chil dren are doing in the industrial classes. Girls Learn Housekeeping. ' One of the pretty sights is that of the "I Little Housekeepers". in their dainty white caps and aprons, with their toy equipment, learning all the niceties of housekeeping. Little beds sre made up with care and exactness, and each little girl learns to set her breakfast table with tiny pewter knives, forks, and spoons. After a little prac tice, and as she becomes proficient, she ts sllowed -to use delightful little sets stories of fabulous "strikes." ' Throngs every week respond to the call; a gTeat number of them never return. And no wonder they risk death, when told that the gold landa are composed of a-ast areas of rotten quarts, so soft that prospectors may work it with stones, as the natives have dona for centuries. Australia waa - droughty, Alaska cold, India pestiferous; but in the Aahantee country a moat deadly combination of man, beast and nature oppose the ad venturer. - One stretch of Jungle on the way to the gold fields tney are 180 miles in land has been christened the "white man's gYave" from the number of pros pectors who have left their bones there. But the gold-seeker is the one man in all the world who never recognlsea the word impossible. This fact has Justified the remark: "If it were known that the north pole was surrounded by, placer gold fields. Its site would be a hustling mining camp within a year." - Witness how, -within" a few" years since gold waa found in Alaska, swift on the heels of the pioneers have , gone 'railroad bulldecs and telegraph linemen, englueera. capitalists, bankers, teachers and settlers, until the whole stretch of the northwest Is repeating the won drous story of California's development almost 0 years ago. In 18(7 the United' States bought Alaska for-17,000,000, and thought the price exorbitant, Up to the present the government has received almost twice that sum In revenues from her pur chase, and President Roosevelt tins said of li: "I predict that Alaska, within the next century, will support aa large a population as does the entire Scandina vian Peninsula of Europe." All this because of gold, nothing else. ' There, one day not many year ago, a United States soldier, while digging a well, mnile the strike which in 20 days had produced $3,000 worth of gold. On that spot today la Nome, ' a city of about 80.000 population. .. '' In Klondike and -the Yukon gold spells for the Immigrant, as welf as for the native - cltlsen, wonderful oppor tunity.

Little play tubs and clothes lines. clothespins and hampers are provided for wash days and tiny irons and boards for ironing day. It Is to them a delight ful sort of play but although they are unaware of it they are learning thee larger lessons which, such training gives and a seal for housewifely arts is de veloped. After finishing the course with the toys the girls take a course of training with real kitchen equipment, are taught the care of the stove and sink, and finally become skillful and intelligent little housekeepers. 'On finishing the course they are given a diploma. The class of "Little Housekeepers" gave a practical test of their, ability the other day when they set table, cooked mush and served the younger children. Any one who knows how Important a part of child life "playing house" Is will appre ciate what delightful fun thla la to the litUo girls. Mrs. Charles Tinker has chargs of this department of the Insti tute club work and she has as able as sistants . seven , , well known young women. :, Saturday Is a busy day at the Insti tute club.

The group of objects represented la the photograph is composed solely of the work of the chil dren in this department. The Mother's club made The rug on which the objects are placed - The children : themselves could scarcely realise what practical and excellent articles they were making. When they saw their pottery glased and fired - they . were delighted beyond measure.., ., . . , , - The mental and moral growth whloh comes through doing Is of the greatest practical value. The Joy of creating and the conscious effort of putting one's bast work into the task is of the deepest significance In character build ing. . v . . What does it mean, think you,, to mothers who live In dark, dingy quar ters to have the (bathrooms with an abundance of hot water, soap, and clean towels open to them twice a week, free of charge? Everyone who haa even glanced Into settlement work and the 'Colorado, Calif orala. Utah. South Da kota. Arlsona, Nevada, Montana, , all show gradually advancing yields each successive year. The territory of Aleska is yielding more than four times aa much gold aa It did in 18S; but In tho same time Arlsona haa more than doubled lta production, Oregon'a haa be come a third greater and that of Utah haa nearly quadrupled. ' One reason for the Increase Is found In the development of processes by which the precious metals may now be secured from ore which' once would have been thrown away. These have made possible an Increase of 10 per cent revenue- from some Of the mines, and have greatly aldod all miners. The chlorlnatton and cyanide processes save OS per cent of the pure metal. It is stated. A very large percentage of the In crease, too, comes from mines which have been ' previously overlooked or which - have' not been worked to their full " possibilities. The story' of Tom Cruise In Montana Is. in scarcely less romantic form, repeated every now and then.. v ., . '-,.,"' ' After working for years In the bed of a creek, securing anywhere from a dollar's worth to five dollars' worth ot gold a day, he auddenly came upon tho ledge of -rock which, hacked away by Ms pick, bewime the famous Drum Lomond mine, one of the moat famous In the world, ' Another Montana mine, the Granite Monntnin, was about to be abandoned by order of the company when the su perintendent found that 'another, vein Iny beneath the surfye ore. Tba prof Its of this mine since have been enor mous. ' In the west there are lost mines here and there, which, every year, men search after with all the ardor that marks the quest of new fields. One Bryfoaie once came , out of the Mo Jnve desert with a bag of naggets. which he sold for some supplies snd returned to work the bonansa which ho had found. He was never seen again, nor has the mine been discov ered. - On a hill In southern California is the Peal eg mine, originally found by "Peg leg" Smith,- wtifi disappeared Just as the people were wildly excltel over nuggets which he hdd brought from it, Only the ether dny the northwest produced a story which shows that the romance surrounding tho old El Dorado of china with which conditions under which the poorer peo ple live knows that cleanliness comes to be accounted as among the greatest of luxuries, - . Children of destitute families are gathered in frequently and given a bath and an entire change or clothing. A nurae from the Visiting Nurses' association is in attendance for this duty one morning each week to help the mothers or the settlement workers. : .... . Fine Work for the Idle. How shall we compass the work of this- excellent practical endeavor in one brief article? One can only hint at the other " branchos which are doing such good service In the cause of humanity. A decorating committee keeps flowers In the Institute rooms and gives each child who attends the story-hour ses sion a flower to carry home. A branch of the W. C A. Travelers' Aid Employment bureau finds positions for women and girls needing work ana helps those who are ill and In trouble. A visiting committee goes among the residents of that part of town visiting in their homes the parents of the chil dren who attend the Sunday school and the day classes. Without this close knowledge of their needs and conditions the vital helpfulness of the whole un dertaking must lag.

Pa!l Mall Oasette. ' There has Just been enacted at Basel a piece of pollf-e prudery .which the champion among the official martinets of Berlin might have envied. A Journalist given to using his type writer late at night proved himself somewhat trying to his fellow lodgers or occupiers of the house, who, falling to procure a cessation of the annoyance by, private protest, at last reported the matter to the police aa a nuisance. The case wss not exactly simple, though It was certainly novel, but po lice Intelligence finally overcame - the difficulty.

MOST rAHOuL BRIGAND DEAD Ttv VMtnund Hurst. ' C ORSICA has lost Its most pictur esque character and one of Its most profltsble assets ,as an at traction -to tourists. . Antonio Bornelll. better known aa Bella- coscla, the last and most distinguished of its bandits, is dead at the rl?e old age of St. For nearly half a century he kept the bush defying the efforts or the gendarmes to captur him in his Inaccessible eyrie of Pentlca, It Is es timated that- the various expeditions sent against him cost the French gov ernment no !ss than 1875,000. " He passed unscathed through ' countless blood-thirsty adventures and laughed at ballets only to fall a victim, in the end, to tbe onnlaughta of a more insidious and deadly foe Influensa. . - . Granted a pardon In 1892, for the last IS years of his life he enjoyed the fruits of his fame, that of being, next to Napoleon, who was a good deal of a bandit, too. the greatest man Corsica has produced. , Every collector of pic ture postcards on the continent was proud to number the grim visage of the old brigand among his souvenirs, and no tourist who visited the wild Island of the Mediterranean considered he bad done justice to Its attractions had he not called on the old outlaw. He brought more money to the Island than he had ever taken from bis victims Therefore, the Corslcans mourn his loss. There is none to take his place. The vendetta is well nlah ' extinct. The bandit business la played out. In fhese degenerate days of commercialism, the young . men of Corsica openly deride highway robbery as a profession. To such Ignoble depths have they descend ed that they even prefer being streetcar conductors, Tbe Bellaeoscla family lived in the village -of Bocognano. Antonio s father had himself been sometime an outlaw, had had three wives, eight children and 70 grandchildren. Antonio was-born In 1326. His Arst difficulty with the law-, was when he was -still a mere youth. It was in -1848. The notary MarcsgTl came to expel him from a holding claimed alike by the commons and the Bellacoaclaa. Possibly the law yer did not show sufficient tact In car rying out his mission. ' Be that as It may, high worda ensued and Antonio, raising his rifle, put an end to the ar gument by shooting the man or law. When the gendarmea appeared to ar rest the murderer he bad fled to the wild pass of . Pentlca and waa beyond their reach. 1 .'. Antonio Bellaeoscla waa now, by the force of circumstances, an outlaw. Jacques, his brother, waa at this time finishing his studies at AJaccio, prepar atory to taking holy -orders. He hur ried home bent on advising his brother to surrender and stand his trial.- AlasI while the brothers were conversing, s gendarme surprised them and raised his rifle to cover Antonio. The hot Corslcan blood waa fired In an instant. Jacques, the future priest, seised a gun and the rash gendarme was a dead man. There were now. two outlaws Instead of one. Then began a merciless pursuit, the two . brothers being hunted down like wild beasts for mors than 40 years. Columna of gendarmery and soldiers were over and over again dispatched against them. . Their property was con flacated, their flocks sold, at one time or another all their relatives Impris oned on the charge of aiding, abetting and harboring them, but - all in vain. The prestige of the two brothers only grew with each vain endeavor on the part of the authoritiea to capture them. They became In the! eyes of every good Corslcaa the incarnation or that inborn sentiment of defiance of law and au thority which la the very essence of vendetta tradition. Each new -deed of prowess was hailed with delight and the brothers were undisputed lords of the maquls or bush. In the same village lived a young man named Marcangeli, who bad fallen deeply in love with a girt to whom Antonio was paying his attentions. Marcangeli, taking advantage of his riv al's absence, persuaded Mile. Ceratl to favor his suit and preaently married her. Marcangeli paid dearly for his success ful wooing. - A few days later a young widow-was weeping over her husband's corpse, Only once did the police succeed In Inducing one of Antonio's countrymen to turn traitor, and the result waa not encouraging to possible Imitators. The shepherd Plnelll undertook to guide the gendarmae to the outlaws' lair. After long and painful march , the parry waa approaching the goaL when sud denly the shepherd, who was leading In front, fell dead with a bullet through his brain. Such feats excited admiration and respect. Antonio, whose kindness, hu manity ..and affection for his own peo ple were the theme of constant praise, waa generally held to have chosen "the only way." If he had killed. It was argued, he had done so from necessity or to defend his honor. And in, saying thla his frlnds felt that his case might any day be theirs, for your true Cor slcan Is a thorough believer In the adage that if you wish to be well served you must do a thing ' yourself. One of the few Instancea of Antonlo'a bullet i i-wi ' -J. --' A s 'e-Hf" - i - 1 It ' S , " '" (--- Citadel From Which Bellaeoscla Was Hunted. missing Its mark was when he pursued his sisters betrayer, severely wounding but not killing him. It happened once such accidents can easily occur in the course pf.. a long residence In the maquls that Antonio Bellaeoscla killed a gendarme by mistake. He appears to have been sincerely sorry, for he paid for' the schooling of the orphan out of his own pocket, which Is cer tainly an Original , trait In a bandit's character. ' . Once also a party of gendArmes which had been sent out to capture hint lost their way In the heat of pur suit. They finally became trait,,, and were able neither to advance to retreat. Antonio, who had i watching them from his vnm ground gallantly went -to their res piloted them aafely out of 1.inj-r bade them a courteous. If sIik scornful, farewell.
