The King's Business
The evangelistic meetings have
been characterized within, the past
week by a deepening of conviction.
The sermons have been unusually
forceful and convincing. The appeals
have been manly and direct. The
hearer can not escape the truth.
Last Sunday was a day of blessing
and great joy. Many young people
surrendered to Christ.
Though It has been stormy the at
tendance has not diminished, nor the
Interest' decreased. People are think
lug seriously. Declsons are being
made. The Spirit of God is operating
mightily convincing of rtghteounsess
and Judgment to come. Six cottage
prayer meetings were held on Tues
day morning and a like number will
be held on Thursday morning at
10 o'clock.
The afternoon meetings are of un
usual value to Christians. Each suc
ceeding meeting seems to be the best

silently directed the ladies around
the darkened house to a ladder
leading up to a window on the first
floor, through which they were to

autumn leaves thickly strewn upon
the floor, and jaek-o-lanterns shading
lamps and lighting all corners, and
great pine knots and small logs for
jeats.

most of them as ghosts, and the fes
tival of the spirits in the woods
teemed fairly to have come -true. A
prize of a beautiful stickpin had
been offered for the best sustained
character of the evening. Mrs. Ivan
hoe and Miss Bothwell had been ap
pointed Judges, but ' they submitted
:he decision to popular vote which
resulted In favor of Mrs.- Ivanhoe,
who represented Carrie Nation, but
she very graciously declined in favor
of Miss Julia Marvin, the next In
order of vote.

splendidly carried out In the refresh
ments also, the hostess surprising
the guests by a great fc g of sweet
cider, a large Jar of delicious dough
nuts, baskets of apples and tubs of
tKpcorn.

went out and ghost stories were
told by the light from the grate.
Promptly at 12 o'clock the guests de
parted, thanking the hostess for the
most enjoyable time of the season.

THE WAITER WHO
SERVED WITHOUT PAY
By MINNIE B. CARTER.
Copyright, 1909, by American Press Asso
ciation. J
A man calling himself Giovanni
walked into an Italiuu restaurant in
New York and, addressing the proprie
tor, Antonio Munciui, asked for em
ployment as a waiter. Being told that
the force of waiters was complete, he
said that be would work for nothing
until a vacancy occurred.
Soon after Giovanni's employment
the custom of the establishment drop
ped off, and the proprietor. Instead of
filling waiters' vacancies, began to dis
cbarge those be bad. He told Gio
vanni that there was no hope for him
to secure pay and be was welcome to
leave as soon as he liked. To this I
Giovanni replied that be was making
a living from the tips he received and
this was far better than nothing.
But the attendance at the restaurant
continued to decrease." Mancini, who
wns an excellent cook, went himself
into the kitchen and even invented
new dishes with the most delectable
flavorings, hoping to regain the cli
entele he had lost, nut It was of no
avail. Ills old customers did not come
back to him. nud new ones were not to
be attracted. He was paying a high
rental, and his expenses in other re
spects were enormous. One day he
called his few remaining employees
to his office and said to them:
"I am expecting the sheriff to levy
on what remains here. Until recently
I was making money. Indeed, 1 pos
sessed $20,000. I wns about to sell out
my business and return to our beloved
Italy to spend a comfortable old age.
Instead of that I am a beggar In a
foreign land. Go and secure new
places. As for me, I know not what
to do."
All expressed sorrow for their em
ployer and went away, except Gio
vanni. He stood alone with Mancini
after the others had departed.
"Why do you remain?" asked the
restaurateur.
"To tell you the cause of your mis
fortune." There was something in the man's
eye and the tone in which the words
were spoken that arrested bis employ
er's earnest attention. He looked at
Giovanni for an explanation.
"You wouder, signor," said the hit
ter, "why I. to whom you hove never
paid a cent, have stood by you to the
Inst."
"I do."
"I am not only a countryman of
yours, but I came from the same dis
trict as you, the lake region of Italy."
"Ob!"
"I was a smuggler engaged In run
ning dutiable goods across Lake Como
to a region where It was eutsy to
dispose of them. You know that the
lake is patrolled by the customs offi
cers and there is great risk in car
rying goods across. Indeed. It Is prac
tically impossible to do so without de
tection. Well. I divided my profits
with them, and they took care not to
see me. In this way I gained enough
to pay for a farm and was about to
purchase oue, marry the girl 1 loved
OPd turn farmer when a misfortune
occurred to me. A customs officer 1
bad been bribing made t his business
to see mo while smuggling, 1 -was ar
rested and Imprisoned."
Mancini sot (spellbound by the story,
every moment growing paler. Gio
vanni kept his eye fixed on hin In
tently. "While iu Jail," he resumed, "I was
put into a cell with an old smuggler.
He was ill, nnd I nursed him. Dyiug.
he made me his belr. Where do you
suppose his fortune was deposited?"
''Go po."
"You remember the point formed by
the Junction of Lakes Comb sud Lec
co?" "I was born on it."
''There, across the lake, one can see
Moute Crociope and on a crag near by
the little church of San Martluo." .
"I wns married there," groaned
Mancini.
''And uot far from San Martino is
a bole u the rock. From across the
lake it jooks oqly forge enough to con
tain a big bowlder, It would hold a
church."
"I have bee in it."
"The fortune 1 inherited was there.
The smuggler hud turned all his prof
its into diamonds and hidden them in
the rave, f brought tbem to America
in the shape of bills of exchange."
"And have lost your Inheritance"'
"No; I have every cent of It. Aod
why hare J. a rich mnn. been working
here without pay? To ruin the cus
toms officer who betrayed uie and who
married my betrothed. I have caused
the falling off of four bualiiess by cir
culating false stories of what food
you have served to your guests."
"You you have done this?"
"I have."
"lou baye taken a terrible revenge.
But you are rich, aud j will have dam
ages under the law."
"Ou what evidence?"
Mapclal was slleut.
"Besbies, where is my fortune? No'
one knows. We Italiiius, especially
we. who hove beeu smugglers and rev.
pnue officers, know how to cover our
tracks."
A graau wns the pnly response.
"But it la uot iiecensary (bat you

A Delicate Question
(From Life. Sept. 24. 1908.)
Is a man's first duty to his own
family er o his client?
Take, for Instance, a patient call
him William who U being treated
for a disease considered Incurable.
His doctor, of the old school, tell
him frankly and kindly that the tost
they ran do Is to hold the disease In
BARGAIN
check, prolong William's life por
haps, and make hU remaining days
comfortable. While this treatment
'.s going on William begins to hear
tales of what the osteopaths are do
ing. His friends tell him of sudden
2ure3 of case3 resembling his own.
William hates quackery, but as he
cannot Ignore this testimony, he fin
illy mentions the subject to his
loctor. His doctor, a liberal mlnd
3d man, te'.ls Wll.iara regretfully, that
while osteopaths, like other quacks,
produce temporaty results that amaze
he" Ignorant, they work far more
larm than good; that osteopathy is
.nerely a form of massage at best,
and that William's disease Is a deep
3r matter. Besides, the osteopathic
reatment is rough, and often danger
ous. William Is secretly relieved by this
Information, for he hates changing'
about and he has no use for all the
new "pathles,"
But the surprising tales persist Jit
eachlng him. Even members of his,
wn family relate extraordinary
Jures of seemingly hopeless cases,
without drugs or surgery. Finally,
o make a long story short, William,
fho does want to live, visits an oste
ipath. He is ashamed, but he does
t. The theory and treatment, as ex
plained to him pertanly se,em ration?
il. Moreover, he finds these osteo
paths are curing cases much worse
Jian hU own. And when William
Ham himself is cured he blames the
d school doctor for not sending him
it once to the qsteqpath.
But Is William Just?
Is It ever expected that a lawyer,
doctor, an architect or any man of
landing, shall say to his client, "Clo
'.o my rival. He Is wiser tliait a.mr
31ve your money to him Instead of to
me?"
In accusing the old school doctqp
of fraud William is doubly unfair,
is that doctor .despises the, osteo
path and honestly believes him
auack. And we all know how easy
it Is to believe what Is most desir
able. William argues, however, the suc
cess of osteopathy now being com
mon knowledge, that when he nave, J
doctor for advice the doctor shoul
give whatever advice is most like
ly to lead to a cure. T he doctor
might argue that he. gave William
what William, paid for. the best treat
ment he knew hew tq gve.
