ever made was the work of the wife
of a Flemish artist. 1t depicted a
mill with the sails bent. the miller
mounting the stairs with a sack Of
grain on his back. Upon the ter
race where the mill stood was a cart
and horse, and on the road leading
to it several peasants were shown.

FOREIGN MISSIONS

CHICAGO, Oct. 5-In the ultimate reduc-
tion the present meeting Of the American
board of commissioners of foreign mis-
sions will be contest between conserva-
tism and liberalism. The point in con-
troversy succinctly stated is to be ''Shall
the American board concede a point to the
democratic spirit" The board is close
corporation -self-constituting, self-per-
petuating. self-administering, but, in pOiut
of fact, instantly dependent upon the
churches. The churches demand that since
they support the board-since they are
taxed and bear the burdens-that they
have ample representation. The conserv-
atives won the first point when DR.. Storrs
nominated the committees on nominations
and on business, with only one liberal
member on each and four ultra-conser4a-
tives on each.
This morning DR.. Z. X. Alden read a
paper defending the conservative policy.
His subject was "The Fellowship of the
American Board with the Churches.
DIR. Noble arose upon the conclusion OF
the paper and moved it's reference to a
committee of twenty-one, with orders to
report next year.
DR.. McQuint moved as substitute that
the matter go to the business committee.
with orders to report during this session.
The substitute was lost by vote OF 20 to
A.
Dr. Noble followed up his victory by
moving as an amendment that the paper
be given to committee of eleven instead
of twenty-one, the committee being in
structed to report as soon as possible.
The liberals, seeing themselves fairly
beaten, refrained from voting and the
conservative element won by unanimous
vote. 1t is safe to say that President Storrs
will see to it that the committee Is not one
of revolutionary tendencies, for in an
nouncing the vote he said, significantly:

4 QUESTION OF PoLlTENESS

London Society is discussing
the question whether man
shall take off his hat to a maid
servant who is employed in his
household, and if not, what shall
he do when he chances to meet
her. This is easy to answer, ha
might nod to her Familiarity and
say 'sHow are Ye?" He might
chuck her under the chin and in.
quire, "Whers Was You At?" o,
he might merely nod and say
Hello" as if she were a Tele.
phone girl. All these things de-
pend upon the manner. The
most polite act may be offensive
in the way in which it may be de-
livered, and the most familiar
speech may be nnobjeetionable
provided it comes from an honest
manly heart. One cannot have
a generous soul anxious TO avoid
ofense without sound body, and
he cannot have a sound body if
he be dyspeptic, cross, miserable
and out of order. If he be In
this condition let him take the
Laxative Gum Drops every night
before retiring. They will soon
clear his system from all material
that impedes his digestion, clouds
his brain and annoy him. All
dealers keep them. The small
boxes are 10c, the large one 25c.
