The First Page Section Contains one of the best and most up-to-date maps of Indiana it is possible for us to obtain. In striking colors it shows plainly — The counties, county seats, and all the towns in the state. The congressional districts, plainly outlined and numbered. The railroads, interurbans, rivers and canals. The distances between all railroad stations. Around the margin of this map are good photographs of all the governors of Indiana, from Governor Arthur St. Clair of the Northwest Territory down to and including Gov. J. Frank Hanly On the reverse side of the map is a complete list of all towns and postoffices in the state, arranged in alphabetical order, with the population of each. The map is indexed with marginal figures and letters, so that a town, however large or small, may be instantly pointed out. With the establishment of rural routes the postoffices of many small pigns have been closed and the people are served by rural route out of a neighboring town. This map shows how to address mail for such places.

The Home Library Wall Chart would easily sell for $2.00 atany book store or map supply house. It will prove a valuable feature in any home or office or school.

Some of these were merely formal acknowledgments of letters received and forwarded, but one stated that they ‘‘were instructed by Lady Morland to Inform Mrs. Anson that Sir Philip Morland declined either to see or hear from her.” That was ail. Philip sprang up with face aflame. He was alone in the bouse now, alone with his dead mother. He went upstairs, with the letters crushed in his right hand as though be would choke a reptile which had stung the only being he loved. He bent over the shrunken form, so placid, so resigned, so angelic in the peace of death, and his hot tears fell unchecked. “You poor darling!” he murmured. “I believe you humbled yourself even to beg from these people for my sake. What can I do to show my love for you?”

CHAPTER 11. ON Friday evening, March 19, a thunderstorm of unusual violence broke over London. It was notably peculiar in certain of Its aspects. The weather was cold and showery, a typical day of ths March equinox. Under such conditions barometric pressure remains fixed rather than variable, yet many whose business or hobby it is to record such facts observed a rapid shrinkage of the mercury column between the hours of 6 and 7. A deluge of rain fell for many minutes and was followed about 7:30 p. m. by a mad turmoil of thunder and an astounding electrical display not often witnessed beyond the confines of the giant mountain ranges of the world. So violent and unnerving was the outburst that the social life of London was paralyzed for the hour. Theater parties, diners in the fashionable restaurants, the greater millions anxious to get away from offices and shops, those eager alike to enter and leave the charmed circle of the four mile radius, were ruthlessly bidden to wait while the awesome forces of nature made mad racket In the streets. All horseflesh was afraid. The drivers of. cabs and omnibuses were unable to make progress. They had sufficient ado to restrain their maddened anl* mats from adding the havoc of blind charges through the streets to the general confusion caused by the warring elements. Telegraph and telephone wires became not only useless, but dangerous, and the suburban train service was consequently plunged Into a tangle from which It was not extricated until midnight. So general was the confusion, so widespread the public alarm, that; the sudden cessation of the uproar at 8 o’clock caused more prayers of thankfulness to be uttered In the metropolis than had been heard for many a day. But worse remained. Thus far the lightning had been appalling, brilliantly lurid, but harmless. At 10 o’clock the storm raged again, this time without the preliminary downfall of rain, and the _ lightning, though tees sen-

The Second Section Contains a handsomely engraved map of the United States, and four smaller maps, in colors, showing Alaska and our Island Possessions. Also a map of the United States showing dates of accessions of territory from 1776 to the present day. This is an exceptionally fine map, is up to dale in all details, shows all the state capitols and all the principal cities, railroads, etc. Around the margin of this section are good portraits of all the presidents. from George Washington down to Theodore Roosevelt. I On the reverse side of this section is shown the population of all the principal cities of the United States arranged in alphabetical order by states, and growth is indicated by the census figures in alel columns for the years 1880, 1890 and 19x1. There is also much valuable data and interesting information about the possessions of lhe United States, and the Panama Canal Zone.

sational In'appearance, was demoniac in effect, levying a toll on human lives, causing fires and general damage to property, accounts of which filled many columns of the newspapers next morning. This second outburst was succeeded by heavy and continuous rain. At the hour when the theaters emptied their diminishing audiences Into the streets London wore its normal rain sodden aspect It was not until the following day that people fully understood thfe magnitude and terrifying results of the later display. About a quarter to 8, while the first storm was at its height a carriage and pair dashed into a fashionable West End square and pulled up outside a mansion cast in the stereotyped mold of the early Victorian period. The horses, overfed and underworked, had been rendered frantic by the drive through the park from the farther west. Fortunately, they knew this halting place, or the coachman would never have succeeded In stopping them. As it was, they sweated white with fear, and the footman, shouting to the occupants of the carriage that he could not attend to the door, ran to their heads after giving a vigorous tug at the house bell.

A boy, tall and thin, and scantily attired for such weather, who had taken shelter In the dark portico of the man-t slon, ran forward to offer his services at the carriage door. A bundle of evening papers, covered with a piece of sacking, somewhat Impeded the use of his left hand, and, as It happened. In his right he held a large bun on which he had just commenced to dine. Before he could turn the handle the carriage door opened from the Inside. A man sprang out “Get out of the way.” he said Im-

A boy ran forward to offer his services at the carriage door.

The Third Section Contains a map of the world engraved especially for this chart. It shows the ocean routes, and distances and length of time required to travel between different ports, the countries of the several continents are all brought out sharply in colors, and the capitals and principal cities are all shown. There are also TWO NEW MAPS OF THE Panama Canal Zone Showing tn relief with actual measurements, the great work the U. S. government is undertaking there. The map shows the lock canal as proposed by the latest plans, the artificial reservoirs, dams spillways and other important features, This section also shows photographs of all the rulers of the nations of the earth, and their flags and coats of arms. The reverse side gives an up-to-date historic sketch of the Panama Canal, profusely illustrated with pictures taken during President Roosevelt's recent trip of inspection to the Isthmus.

patiently, and the newsboy obeyed, glad that he had not followed his first impulse and flung away the bun. A vivid flash of lightning made the horses rear and plunge. “Look sharp, Elf!” cried the stranger In no more cordial tone. “Gather your wraps and jump out On a night like this these nervous brutes”— A peal of thunder that rattled the windows interrupted him. The two animals reared and backed with one accord. The plucky footman, hanging on to the crossbars of the bits, was lifted off his feet and banged violently against the pole. He was forced to let go and fell, staggering backward some yards before he dropped. There was a smash of iron and wood, and the near- hind wheel of the carriage jammed against the curb. A slight scream came from the interior. Certain that the vehicle would turn over instantly, the man who had alighted slammed the door and sprang clear. In doing so he tripped over the newsboy and fell heavily on the pavement. The boy, quicker to note that the breaking of tte pole had given a momentary respite, rushed into the roadway, throwing away both precious bun and still more precious stock of unsold papers. He wrenched the other door open and shouted: “This way, madam. Quick!” “Madam" was quick. She sprang right into his arms and proved to be a girl of twelve or thereabouts, dressed all in white and wrapped in an ermine cloak. Over went the carriage with a fearful crash. The coachman managed to jump from the box into the roadway. He retained the reins and whip in bls' grasp and now, losing his temper, lashed the struggling horses savagely. This cowed them, and they ceased their antics. The boy and the girl found themselves standing on the sidewalk close to the ruined vehicle. “You have saved my life!” said the girl sweetly and without any trace of the nervousness which might naturally be expected after such a narrow escape from a serious accident.

The boy noted that her eyes were large and blue, that she wore a great shining ornament tn her hair and that she appeared to be dressed in some-I what fanciful«manner, though the big cloak she wore concealed the details. The door of the mansion opened, and servants came running out. Suddenly the'boy received a violent blow on the side of the head. “Confound you!” shouted the man who had fallen on the pavement, “why didn't you get out of the way when I told you?” The boy, astounded by such recognition of his timely help, made no reply, but the girl protested vehemently. “Oh, uncle,” she cried, “why did yon •trike him? He got me out of the carriage lust before it turned over. He did, indeed!” ' Another vivid flash of lightning fl-

lumined the scene. It lit up*the group with startling brilliancy. The boy, still somewhat shaken by the vicious blow, was nevertheless able to see clearly the pale, handsome, but dissipated features of his enraged assailant, whose evening dress and immaculate linen were soiled by the black mud of the pavement. The girl, dainty and fairy like, a little maid of aristocratic type, and of a beauty that promised much in later years, was distressed now and almost tearful. Through the crowd of frightened servants, augmented by a few daring pedestrians, a burly policeman, gigantic in waterproof overalls, was advancings with, official bluster, [TO BE CONTINUBDI

INVITES A TEST.

B. F. Fendig Asks Catarrh Sufferers to Try Hyomei on His Guarantee,

B. F. Fendig invites all who suffer from any form of catarrhal troubles to get a Hyomei outfit from him with his absolute guarantee that if it does not give perfect satisfacion, the money will be refunded upon request

There is no other treatment for catarrh that in any way resembles Hyomei, none that gives such quick curative results and lasting satisfaction, no medicine that can take its place, none that can be sold on a guarantee like this, to refund the money unless it cures. Catarrh is a germ disease and can be cured only by breathing Hyomei, so that the most remote air cells an the nose, throat and lungs are reached by its antiseptic healing powers. In this way all catarrhal germs are killed, the irritated mucous membrane is healed and catarrh is driven from the system. This wonderful medicated air treatment does not drug and derange the stomach, but is breathed through a pocket inhaler that goes with every dollar outfit. The ususual way in which B. F. Fendig sells Hyomei attests his confidence in the remedy.

For 14 years I have been the agent of the Greening Nursery Co,, of Monroe, Mich., and I can guarantee their goods as strictly high class.

A NOBLE GIFT. Miss Cordelia P. Monnett has donated a thousand acres of land to the Chicago Training School for City Home and Foreign Missions at 4949 Indiana Ave. It is situated near Rensselaer in one of the best parts of the famous oom belt of Illinois and Indiana. Miss Monnett has already gone to her new home in the School at Chicagß. She will receive a suitable annuity in cash as long as she lives.

At Miss Monnett’s request a building will be erected as one of the Halls of this rapidly growing school, in memory of her mother, Mrs. Mary Delamar Kinnear Monnett, who died in 1880. The building will bear the following inscrip- ■ tion “Mary Delamar Kinnear Memorial Building, i erected by her daughter, Cordelia P. Monnett.” Mrs. Monnett was a woman of strong individuality, and left the impress of her rare

character on all about her. Her memory is deeply revered by this devoted daughter, who now rejoices in consecrating her wealth to the building which shall at the same time nobly demoralize the memory of a remarkable woman and be most valuable in advancing the practical work of God on earth. The Chicago Training School has rightly been called a wonderful institution. It began its work in the humblest way. Opened in 1885 in a small rented house, few people knew of its existence, and the number of its really interested friends could be counted on one’s fingers. But friends gathered about it, the number of its students increased and property was gradually acquired. At the present time its annual enrollment is considerably over 200. It now owns property to the value of nearly a quarter of a million dollars. It has trained about twenty-two hundred women and has given to the mission field, home, foreign and deaconess, more than thirteen hundred women. It was the pioneer in woman’s religions schools and has done much towards the creation of a sentiment for special preparation for women iu religious work. It was established under great stress of soul on the part of its founders, and from the first day to the present, not a dollar has been paid out for salary. Its specially trained teachers, six of the twelve resident holding bachlors* lor doctors’ degrees, donating ‘their services on the deaconess

basis, Its graduates include hundreds of the very best workers in Methodism;such women as Emma A. Robinson, General Secretary of the Junior Epworth League, and Isabel Horton, Author of “The Burden of the City.” “To him that hath shall be given.” This was not a new law creatby a dictum of Christ, but a statement by the Master of a fundamental principal of human experience. We have all known illustrations. “It’s the first thousand dollars that cost.” is a business proverb. In the light of this principle the Chicago Training School is entering upon a time of larger things than ever before. It has from the first been the leading religious school for women not only Methodism, but American Protestantism. With the new Monnett Hall as a dormitory for about a hundred more students, larger chapel and library facilities are urgently needed. The endowment fund, which at the present time is onlv $17,000 must be largely increased. The money for these improvements is not pledged, indeed, it is not in any way assured, but because of the great need, it must come. A multitude of small gifts has for many years attested the loving interest felt by many devoted men and women in this institution where deaconesses and missionaries are given practical preparation for their work, an institution which indeed, twenty years ago gave the - Deaconess movement itself in modern aggres* sive form to the Methodist church of America, but the time has come now for the larger gifts. The School has its magnificent Harris Hall in which building alone there are two acres of floor space. It is now to have beautiful Monnett Hall. What other name will be memorialized by the chapel? What other loved one’s name will be carved over the library entrance. [The above article was sent The Democrat by J. S. Meyer, Supt. of the above school, with request that it be published in our columns. Ed.]
