isphere.
We do not covet their territory; we
desire their peace and prosperity. We
look for no advantage ir our relations
with them except the increased ex-
changes of commerce upon basis of
mutual benefit.
We regret every civil contest that dis
turbs their peace and parslyzes their
development, and are always ready to
give our good offices for the restoration
of peace.
1t must, however, be understood that
this government, while exercising the
utmost forbearance towards weaker
powers, will extend its strong and ade-
quate protection to its citizens, to its
officers, and to its humblest sailor, when
made the victims of wantonless and
cruelty in resentment not of their per-
sonal misconduct, but of the official acts
of their government.
The Case of Fireman Shields.
Upon information received that Pat
rick Shields, an Ir;shman and probably
British subject. but at the time FIRE
man of the American steamer Kewenaw,
in the harbor of Valparaiso for repairs,
had been subjected to personal injuries
in that city-largely by the police-I
directed the attorney general to cause
the evidences of the officers and crew of
that vessel to be taken upon its arrival
in San Francisco. That testimony is also
herewith transmitted.
The brutality and even savagery of
the treatment of these poor men by the
Chilean police would be incredible if the
evidence of Shields was not supported
by other direct testimony and by the
distressing condition of the man him
self when he was finally able to reach
his vessel
The captain of the vessel says: "He
came back a wreck; black from his neck
to his hips, from beating: weak and
stupid, and is still in kind of paralyzed
condition, and has never been able to do
duty SINCE"
A claim for reparation has been made
in behalf of this man, for, while he was
not citizen of the United States, the
doctrine long held by us, as expressed in
the consular regulations, is:
"The principles which are maintained
by this government in regard to the pro-
lection as distinguished from the relief
of seamen are well settled.
''It is held that the circumstance that
| the vessel is American is evidence that
the seamen on board are such; and in
every regularly documented merchant
vessel the crew will find their protection
in the flag that covers them"
have as yet received no reply to our
note of the 21st inst, but in my opinion
! I ought not to delay longer to bring
these matters to the attention of con-
! gress for such action as may be deemed
appropriate. BENJAMIN HARRISON.

Read the Bible.

Why not? You try to be regular al
meals, regular to take rest and exercise.
Why not be regular at Bible readingi
Some Chri ;tians are regular in all thei1
habits and as regular in religious duties
until it comes TO reading the Bible.
Then they are something else.
Some, as camels eat, read enough on
Sunday to last the whole week. During
the week days they read newspapers,
novels and nothing. And like camels
they live in kind of spiritual desert.
Others read the Scriptures when
they feel like it." That may be seldom,
but when the time comes they read a
great amount-perhaps whole Gospel,
or an entire prophet, not excepting the
longest. When they stop they act as if
they had done their duty for long time
to come, and both self and Bible are al
lowed to take rest.
There are people who read the Bible
secondhand. They simply take what
others say about it; perhaps in good
books, perhaps from the minister hin
self, perhaps from those who know less
than author or preacher. In this way
they get great deal of Scripture" that
is not recorded in the Bible. Such
people occasionally quote Bible that
was not written by apostle or prophet,
and build up doctrines and beliefs on
what may be truths with man. but UNI
truths with God.
Bible reading is soul feeding, and to
do it well each must do it for self, and
do it as regularly as he takes his meals
or his rest. Regularity in this promotes
health of soul, as regular habits promote
bodily health. To read enough on Sun
day to last all the week is about as I'M
wise as to expect tremendous meal on
Sunday to suffice until the next Sabbath
System forms part of regularity. 1t
is possible to feed mans brain and
starve his Drawn, or to develop his phys
ical powers while the mental are
starved. So it is possible to develop
certain graces and soul qualities, and
yet allow Others to become weaker
To read wisely the word of God we
must know it and know our wants. So
it is necessary to be familiar with the
whole book and no less familiar with the
needs of the soul. The Bible is a great
storehouse of spiritual food, and the wise
steward should be acquainted with all
the stores and places in which the Mas
ter keeps them. Treat your soul and
the Bible as you treat your body and
food.-ChriSttdn Ihteitigencer. '

A Christmas Story.

Here, you, Tom Armstrong, bring
back that umbrella" shouted Willie
Crane, tearing out of Mason's store and
rushing breathlessly after his tormentor
who, with all the airs of an affected
lady, was mincing up the street, waving
over bis tousled head the little boys silk
umbrella, present from Aunt Floy on
his last and ninth birthday.
Finding it, however, impossible for
his short legs to overtake Toms longer
ones, Willie slackened his run into a
quick walk. He was very indignant
little fellow, but he shut his red lips
close over his angry tongue, lest that
hateful member should gain the victory
for, hadn't Miss Blake said, only the
SUNDAY before, that eyer darned foo, :"
and "blast yer biler," was only the tiny
end of the wedge, which, forcing wider
and wider, let in. at length, food of
more ugly and wicked words? So he
fought manfullY to overcome the
temptation to relieve his wrathful feel
ings by the use of these self-same
naughty phrases.
Meanwhile, Tom, stopping OCCASION
ally to hold out in a tantalizipg man
ner the object of contention, or peep
ing over his shoulder with malicious
grin, cantered gaily up the street.
Finally, growing weary of his sport, he
carefully selected the dirtiest and mud
diest puddle he could find, and then de-
liberately laid the umbrella in it.
His helpless victim could contain
himself no longer, but, picking up his
dripping and mud-stained treasure, he
shouted passionately, If do get hold
of you, Tom Armstrong, I'll bust your
head open"
The possibility of such fate,
however. seemed not to trouble the
ill-natured lad, who-giving dersive
hoot-with hands in his pockets, went
whistling carelessly on his way.

Willie, bursting into the room wherehis

vehemently, as he met her kind but re-

Mrs. Crane wisely said nothing.

more profitably any words of reproof.

The First Christmas Guests.

Just on the border of Bethlehem
An inn stood, long ago,
Up to its gate two travellers pressed
Soon the sun would sink meath the mountain cre'
And the darkness fall below
There's tender grace in the woman's face,
The blue eyes seem to hold
The hues of heaven in their earnest gaze
Her shining hair to have caught the rays
From the beautiful gates of gold.
No room in the inn" the steward said,
Heaped to the very court
With costly cargoes- spices and silk
Bound for some distant port.
NO room, T." save where the stable opes
Its portals dim and old:
A manger pillows the beautiful head
With its CLEAN from the gates of gold
Then darkness fell on Bethlehem
And siken soft and still
Sweet slumber dropped her curtain down,
balm for every i'll.
Suddenly beautiful light
Streamed down. like silvery bar,
And angels voices from heavens height
Came floating full and far.
GLORY to God is the song they sing,
Peace and good will to men!
In the city of David is born a King!
In the manager at Bethlehem"
Swift came the shepherds who tend the she ep,
To worship the babe in the stall;
TO you think they knew he would grow to be
The tenderest Shepherd of all?
And wise men worshiped the beautiful child,
Falling low at his feet,
Where goodly Sits of gold were piled,
And many an incense sweet
why do the wise men worship him?
An, he is of royal birth
Son of Jehovah. "the Prince of peace
And King of this beautiful earth.
Your eyes shine bright! l think you know
Twas the very first Christmas mo IN;
For so, in manger Graded low,
Jesus Savior was born
The steward gave them place without,
There was no room in the inn"
And guests gave never glance, no doubt,
But the rise men sought for him.
Your hearts are inns, dear little ones
Mid the Merry Christmas din
Don't fill them too full of worldly things
To let the dear Lord in. II. D. Castle

letters on the snowy frosting, Xmas"
Her guests were sure they had never
seen anything so pretty, nor tasted any,
thing so good. They thought it de-
lightful ending to delightful evening.
Tom, having disposed of two cups of
the delicious cocoa and three or four of
the cakes, was about TO ask for Bessie's
cloak and hood, when Mrs. Crane, lift
ing the little girl into her lap, and hold
ing forth rosy. checked doll, said play
fully:
"Here's a dolie that hasn't any
mamma. Wouldn't you like to adopt
her, Bessie?"
Bessie's blue eyes were no brighter
than Toms black ones, and, in his I'M
selfish participation of his little sisters
happiness, he did not, at first, notice
the box which Mr.. Crane pushed
towards him, saying as he did so:
Can you make use of this, Tom?'
Willie, however, could not wait for
the astonish, d boy to open it, but,
throwing back the cover, cried ex
citedly:
See, Tom-seel Now you can earn

cient.
After few minutes, in which, with
knitted brows, and fingers working
nervously, he seemed to be doing a
deal of thinking, Tom blurted out:
"Say, Miss Crane, haint this Wills?
He's been braggin' for weeks bout his
havin' tool-box Christmas. Haint he
give it to me instead2"
ooh, Toni" exclaimed his little
friend in distressed voice
But Mrs. Crane thought best to tell
the lad the truth.
Yes, it is, Tom," she answered
gently. But he desired very much to
present it to you. He wants you to
know how much he loves you"
Tom looked at her steadily for sec.
ond; then, pointing over his shoulder
to the wall on to which the pictures
had been thrown, asked, in an awed
whisper:
I" Is it cause he wants to please him,
your pa showed us on there to. night?n
Yes, Willie loves Jesus and is
anxious to please him. That means,
trying to make everybody happy"
The boy stood perfectly silent. Fl.
nally, holding out his rather grimy
hand, he faltered.
=" thank-I-I never-can pay you,
WILL"
"Oh, yes, you can, Tom. Go with
me to Sunday school," Tom looked at
Mrs. Crane with bewildered and ques-
tioning eyes,
"He's foolin', marin. That wouldn't
be no pay, would it?"
1t would be ample for Willie"
Then you bet I'll 90. I'll be there
next Sunday, Will. Sure pop No
backin' out. So shall Bess."
And he did not back out; but the
next Sunday, and the one following,
and the next after that, and many
weeks since, has found him sitting at
Willie's side, drinking in with eager
ness the beautiful gospel story which
Miss Blake knows how to tell so
sweetly, until that lady says in her glad
heart
"God bless the boy! | do believe he
will yet preach Christ before men; for
