A little daughter of the tenements whose mother was done at last with the work that had killed her, was left at rtmi years old with four younger ones to mother and to nurse. And faithr- lul to her triist, she scrubbed and wash­ ed, and cooked and mended until the slender shoulders bent and the thin face grew white, and alilnost before anyone notified much, the little broken life lay waiting for release. "I haven't been able to do anything," she whispered to her favorite girl friend who lived just around the corner. "I couldn't go to day school because of the work, or to Sunday school because it took all father could spare to keep the others in clothes. When the minister came to see me he said I'd soon see Jesus, but I'm afraid I haven't redone anything good, and I won't Know any­ thing to say to Him.*' "When you see Him looking at you, you just show Him your liands." ^ And the home annals of the poor ate full of things like this; of love that can­ not show itself in words, that has noth­ ing to say for itself, but that shows in life-long work, the record of which is plain upon the marred and toil-stained hands. Light keeps rising up for us in dart places. The New York court of appeals, like the Chicago brewers, seems likely to close up wellnigh two thousand dram­ shops at one stroke. The law is that no such place shall be licensed within two hundred feet of church or schoolhouse, but provides that in cases where license had been granted before the passage of the law, they should live out their time. The liquor men then claimed that the "good will" (!) attaching to such a place had a money value, and for that reason it must go on. This the lower court al­ lowed, but the court of appeals (from which, happily, no appeal can be taken) reversed this decision and "saloons must go." RansqiVs.
