A POOR RELATIIN. large ree brick house, with a wide
porch in front, and rooms on both sides
There's Aunt Eunice comin', of the hall. There were evergreen
mother. On her way home "from the trees in the front yard, and a gravelled
walk led down to the gate. Along the
h-nnts at fence was a row of lilac bushes. People
uriaed up alvraya 'aid that Mrs. Pond hadn't any -
am apron thing to complain of about her house,
and she thought SO herself. It gave her
pleasure to look back at it now, think-
ing of old Eunice and the poorhouse.
What a comfortable feeling it gave one
to have a settled home!
Mrs. Hall lived in a brown frame
house nearly a mile sway. There was a
large yatd in front, and _ two children
were racing around in the snow. When
they Hai Mrs. Pond coming they ran to
the gathand climbed up on it. One was
a stout; rosy-cheeked boy about ten
years old; the other a little girl, whose
perpetual smile and vacant eyes told
their owki story tc all who looked at her.
Both children got down from the gate
when Mrs. Yond stopped before it.
"Ma's in the kitchen," Bald the boy.
"You can go round that way," point-
ing to a brick walk leading around the
aide of the house.
A thin, delicate -looking girl of about
thirteen years of age opened the kitchen
door in answer to Mrs. Pond's knock.
Mrs. Hall was sitting in a chair by the
fire, rocking a child which had just fal-
len asleep. There were traces of tears
on his chubby cheeks, and a sob escaped
his lips at regular intervals.
" What child is that ?" asked Mrs.
Pond, taking the chair the little girl
brought forward for her. '
"ICE! little Benny Price; his mother
died yesterday," answered Mrs. Hall.
"You mean the woman who went out
sewing in Long Centre?"
"You haven't taken him, I hope ?" -
"Yee, I have."
"Not to raise ?"
"
"
Eliz e !"
There wasn't any one else to take
him. They were going to send him to
the poorhouse. Think of it' Such a
pretty little fellow too. Mrs. Price
didn't have any relations except an aun
over in West Penfield, an' she's an old
maid, can't endure children. Sh
said out 'n' out she wouldn't take th
child. So I just picked him up this
morning and brought him over here." I

Mrs. Pond was frying don
the kitchen stove, her dress
in front, and a big blue ging
covering it. She turned aro nd when
Emmeline spoke, and went td the win-
dow, the long -handled iron fork she had
been using still in her hand. Emme-
line was hem -stitching a bereau scarf,
but she had laid it down to look out.
A little old woman in a black calico
dress, a rusty black shawl, and an old
straw bonnet was coming !down the
country road. Her scanty Skirts flap-
ped iu the wind, and her face was pur-
ple with the cold. The hare hands
holding the shawletogether were purple
too. She nodded to Emmeline when
net senile.

she reached the gate, but di
Her stiff fingers tumbled wit
of the gate some time before
get it open, and the old
away frona her bent shoulders; but she
did not look at Emmeline again.
Emmeline put tate bureau scarf on the
window -seat, and went to, open the
kitchen door. She didn't koow exactly -
why she did ib; she had never been ex-
pected to show Aunt Eunice any atten-
tion. The old woman was only a dis-
tant relative, called aunt through
courtesy.
" Jeet back -from Mis' Jenkins' fune-
ral, ain't ye ?" said Mrs. Pond, holding
the colander over the kettle on the
store, and dropping the crisp dough-
nuts into it one by one as she picked
them with the long fork from the boil-
ing lard. "I expect there was a good
many there."
Aunt Eunice shook her head. She
had taken a seat near the steive, and had
turned the front of her dress up over
her knees that the blaze might not fade,
it. Emmeline could gee her coarse gray
yarn stockings and worn shnee. One •of
the shoes was laced with 'a piece of
brown twine.
" Well, she never as any1 hand to
make friends, so she couldn't reedit/ ex-
pect much of a funeral," Bald Mrs.
Pond. " Who's goin' t r ' take the
house ?"
" Sam Tarbox; he's movin' in now."
" Vealll stay right along With them,
I s'pote? 'Twouldn't seem like home
ter ye nowhere else, ye liv d with Mils'
Jenkins so long."
The old woman drew e. °lig breath
that was almoat a sigh. They ain't
got room for me," she said, slowly.
" There's eight children."
An expression of annoya1ie crossed
Mrs. Pond's face. .ifer lip tightened
in a way tiaey had when ver she was
vexed.
" Seem 's if Nils' Jenkins oghter left
you somethint bein' as you'4 lived with
her so long," she said. presently. -
"She didn't hev nothin' ter leave—
only the furnitoor. 'Tim Jktkins, he
took that; the team come for it, jest as
the funeral was a movin' ou ."
" Well, I s'pose you've looked o
for another place ?" said les. Po
She had fried the last of the dough-
nuts, and was taking the tettle front
the stove.
The old woman did not aeswer im-
mediately. Her faded blue eyes were
staring straight before her at the shin-
ing stove; her brown, kn
were outstretched to t
warmth. There was a tre
meat of her lower lip for a

She paused in her work of washing the
sink to look around at the ld wotnan by
the stove.

said. "Anything's better n the poor-

Sissy. He can't bear her out of his:

was really hiseown sister."
"Well, there's Jake, too."
Mrs, Hall laughed. She had a thin,
sallow face which had never been pretty,,
but when she laughed she showed a set
of perfect teeth.
".Mr. Hall would be just lost if he
didn't have Jake," she said. He gays'
Jake belongs to him. He's got so bid
now we don't have to hire a man at all;
Jake's just the _best boy, too."
And you really mean ter keep this
child?" •s
"Of course I do. Why, I love him;
already. It's because he's so little and;
helpless, I guess."
"He'll cost you a sight. Boys are
awful hard on clothes."
"Oh, we'll ntanage to fix him up some,
how. I ain't goin to worry none abolit
that," and Mrs. Hall bent to kiss the
flushed face on her breast-
" What does Mr. Hall say ?"
"About takin' Benny? Ohn he's wil-
ling. He's as fond of children as I am,
He said it was a shame to talk o' ,send
in' a child like this to Howes'. I'
glad his mother didn't hear any talk o
it. She'd been just wild. But she wa

"1 e'pose you couldn't show T119 abou

"Why, of course I could ! What'e
to hinder? Lizzie, you bring my work-
basket out of that top drawer in the
table in the west room. I guess I'll lay

soul !"

Mother camein, " l've sat right hete
by this window ever since you've be n

To her surprise her mother made no
reply, but, passing through the kitchein
went upstairs. Emmeline heard her
moving around energetically in the
•room overhead. She seemed to be push-
...
rag heavy pieces of furniture from one
side of the room to the other. She was
up there nearly an hour. When else -
came down she had a little blue curtain
in one hand.
"1 wish you'd run a string in this
top hem, Emmy," she said. " You've
got your sewing things handy."
"What are you goin' to do with it?"
Mrs. Pond did not answer, but went
to open the door for her husband, who
had a harness in his aline.

" Do jest as ye like, mother," be
said.
" Well, -then, Emmy, you put on your
things, 'n' run down to Jenkins"n' ,see
if Aunt Eunice is there. Bring her back
with ye."
Emmeline ran quickly upstairs for her
hood and shawl. On her way back ahe
stopped in the south chamber. It Was
very plainly but comfortably furnished,
and the bed was made and a fire bdrned
in the open grate.
"Gracious !" said Einmeline, as she
looked around the room. " Miether
does beat all." She glanced out of the
window in the lower hall as she intent
by. A sudden light sprang to her eyea.

into the kitchen.

Mrs. -pond went out softly.. On her
way she tripped over a bundle by the
door. It contained all the old woman's
earthly possessions.
"I'm, glad enough I asked her to

room : "Thank God! Thank Gd !"

Some Novel Army Regulations.
A correspondent of The Christian
Union recently sent us the following in
quiry :
In 'a recent sermon Dr. Abbott
stated that General Booth, of the Sal-
vation Army, says that he has received
more good from a copy of the rules of
the British Army, hanging in his room,
than from' all the church manuals he had
ever seen put together.
Will you please tell me where I can
find a copy of these rules, and might it
not be interesting to give a resume of
the principal ones in your paper?
On receiving this letter we at once
wrote to the headquarters of the Salva-
tion Army, referring the question to
them, and as a result a copy of the
" Ordere and Regulations for Field
Officers of the Salvation Army " noW lies
before the writer.
It was promptly brought by Staff
Captain Marshall, whose credentials
were not only his uniform, but also an
elaborately printed commission, signed
by General Booth, and sealed with a
gold seal. This document assigned to
him the position which in theatrical cir-
cles is known as "press agent ;" that
is to say, it is the duty of Captain Mar-
shall tb act as medium of information
between the newspapers of the country
and the Salvation Army.
This manual is in size seven inches
long, four and a half inches wide, and
\one and a half inchee thick. It is bound
like a Bagster Bible, in red flexible cov-
ers, and contains six -hundred and sev-
enty-five pages of rules and instructions,
'carefully classified, with side headings,
page titles, and an elaborate index, and
every facility 116 make it a convenient
book of reference, It is divided into
parts, chapters and-sectiens, and each
page is subdivided into broad lettered
paragraphs.
Aside from the religious precepts of
the manual, it contains a good deal of
sound beneficial advice about practical
matters for every -day life. There is, . for
instance, a chapter for.health, in which
the Salvationist is instructed to take
special care of his physical well-being,
for "it is ditlicult,"as General Booth says,
"to see how an officer who has not good
health can get through his duties suc-
cessfully." There is a chapter on per-
sonal appearance,in which the Salvation
soldiers are forbidden to "trick them-
selves out with ornamente ;" they are
ordered to keep theniselves 11 clean,with
hands and face frequently washed, teeth
well brushed, finger nails paired, and
hair cut." There are chapters on death,
on aocial relations, and on behavionend
there is a special marriage service and a
special funeral service.
•
Altogether the book indicates that,
whatever may be the eccentric peculiari-
ties of the Salvation Army, it is a
thoroughly and admirably organized in-
stitution, and that its founder is a man
of great executive ability, not merely a
visionary fanatic.

a fair trial for the following reasons :
1st—They are absolutely pure.
2nd—They are grown and prepared oi the estate by the most
skilled labor and improvedmachinery tha money caA buy, whereas
China Teas are- picked and carred by nati es long distances before
being made ready for the market.
3rd—Ram Lal's is a blend–of three Teas grown and prepared
especially for this brand, Will always be the same flavor to -day to
ten years hence.
4th—'Tis cheap; only Fifty Cepts for a pound package, which
will go as far as two pounds of China or Japan Teas.

your palate, try a second one weaker than the first. After using a
pound you will only drink Ram Lal's Pure Indian Tea from henceforth
