trails. They passed through a pine forest
and the darkness deepened.
A creek at the bottom of q gully flowed
along in the shadow of the pines. The
column went down to it, listening TO the
sound Of the ripping water. All else was
quiet Suddenly some one spoke The
black wings Of the pines, like a shadow of
doom, lay over the troops.
A crack, hiss, a bullet striking through
flesh, startled murmur, orders ringing on
the air in the midst of shots, then the sol
diers returned the fire of their unseen foes.
On all sides they were surrounded. but the
gully was wide enough for a little maneu-
vering; the men got under the shelter of
an abrupt rising of the bank, and had only
to defend themselves from three sides.
They were badly frightened-not as cow
ards, but as men who are fond of life and
mean to sell it dearly. 1t was an ugly no
sition, and not a few fell face downward
in the dancing mountain Stream. The only
person who seemed completely to ignore
the danger was King. A cigarette be-
tween his teeth, he stroled, with appar-
emily utter carelessness, up and down I'M
der cover of the bullets of his men and in
full range of the Indians hidden up above
behind the tree trunks.
Some way the thought of the mascot un-
der his coat gave him a sense of security
He heard again the sound of the voice
which said to him from the darkness: IF
my picture is with you, no harm can come
near" He felt again the touch of the
phantom-like hand, the warmth of the
lips he could not see.
There was a sharp pain in his breast He
gave little cry and fell, his fair head half
buried in the pine needles.
The girl, when she heard of it from the
dust-stained courier grew uneasy She
was afraid that her picture might be
found on the body, and that the man she
had promised TO marry the middle-aged
colonel, who had great ideas of her con-
stancy-might hear of it,
But he did not. There was photograph
found in Kings pocket, but the bullet had
plowed right through the face, and it was
so smeared with blood as to be unrecog-
nizable. 1t was sent back east to his
family.

MENDAoITY IN CHINA.
Truth is Lightly Esteemed in the Land
Ruled by the "son of Heaven"

Ruled by the "Son of Heaven"
Tchang, China, letter in Baltimore Sun.
The government represented by Vice
roy Ii controls all telegraphs and die
tates the reports for The country as they
wish the locality to think to which the
telegraph message is sent. No one ac-
cepts these for truth. but they serve to
keep the people anxious and interested,
and, as the reports are all of success, to
keep the spirits of the Chinese much ele-
waited.
This wholesale lying is reduced to a
science in China. 1t is practiced by every
one, from the cradle of the coolie to the
viceroy at the throne. 1 do not know about
the young emperor. 1t is possible he is
the sole exception in China. With the
viceroy 1t is called diplomacy and with
the coolie shrewdness. Only fools in
China are thought to tell the truth. The
Chinese mind is bright and flexible. There
is no such thing as a green" Chinaman.
Travel the length Of this river and you
viii not meet a person whom you could
call green" The Chinese are assiduously
cultivated in tho acute. quick methods of
the trades He is a born merchant, If
smartness can be considered the essential
qualification of the merchant. / should
rather call him trader" for his capacity
is .eentered orly on the present, the bar
gain. Consequences never form part of
the calculation. The Chinese has not even
learned that honesty is the best policy"
His faculties centered on the bargain, he
forgets or is incapable of considering
aught else beyond.
ba IogfRaI Inference having a
mind as this to start with-is that we
would expect to find dishonesty, and that
is Just what we do find. Along with and
side by side with the universal rule of
falsehood is that Of squeezing getting
the advantage of others by means of
sharp bargain. The Chinese are not
thieves in the sense of secret stealing, but
their thieving is the worst kind, because
1t is practiced openly and by every one
who is smart enough to deceive another.
There is not even an attempt to conceal
it, The sense of shame which would go
to show it was at least reprehended by the
best minds and conscienccS is even want
ing 1t goes unrebuked by every faculty
mind, heart, conscience, will, all-showing
the level to which the conscience of China
has descended. l am unable to find the ex-
PLANTATION of this condition. Did their con-
science never rebuke? Did their sage Con-
fucius inculcate such a lack of morality?
II he did could get some clew, but l can
not find such to be the case. The nearest
approach to II was once when teaching his
disciples visitor came whom he did not
wish to see, and he said to the servant,
say mot at home"-the white lie so COM
monty adopted by society in the west now.
The evil advice would naturally be ex-
pected to find Judgment in the minds and
after-actions of his disciples. but could
such small beginning have such mon
strous ending? l cannot accept this solu-.
ton.

About Ads and Advertisers.
From Printers Inl


An "ad' in the paper is worth two on
your store front.
Advertise honestly. 1t takes Eve min
utes to disappoint a customer-fve years
to reassure him.
The man who advertises frequently is
kept busy stocking up his store and
storing up a stocking.
Advertising to a business is as necessary
as oil to an engine, and the latter requires
it continuously.
The idea that people will buy Christ
mas presents anyway is good as far as
it goes; but the newspaper ad very often
decides them. as to where they win pur-
chase.
Seeing an ad reminds some one that
he, or she, needs the article advertised
If your name follows, it lies to reason
that person may come to you
Some advertisers were first led to ad-
vertlse as a last desperate resort to get
rid of a large stock of goods. The re-
suit proved so gratifying that they be-
came regular advertisers.
The difference between the man who
advertises and the man who doesn't. is.
the one finds his floors crowded and his
shelves empty, and the other finds his
shelves crowded and his. floors empty.
December is one of the best months in
which to advertise. The others are Au-
gust, January, April, July. October, June.
February, May. September, March and
November.

From the Hartford Courant.
one of the most remarkable stuffed
skins on record was that of Valerian,
Emperor of Rome, who was taken prisoner
and afterward kept in chains by Sapor.
King of Persia. He was either killed in
a tumult or by order of his conqueror,
who was perhaps fearful of losing his
valuable living trophy, in the year 269.
The body of the dead emperor was treated

NAMED there for many years, and was
the popular spectacle for holiday makers
and visitors from the country. But it
was put to more important ends than this;
it. was a diplomatic engine of much sig
nificance and efficiency. In after times
it often happened that the Roman en-
voys at the Persian court had misunder-'
standings, more or less serious, with the
government to which they were temper
arily accredited. When these ambassa-
doris from Rome grew arrogant in their
demands. 1t was the custom to conduct
them into the presence of the stuffed
skin of the old ex-Emperor of Rome.
where they were asked if humility did
not become them at sight of such a spec
tacle.

AS on through life they journey mid sunshine,

with briers and thorns?
viii they shun the slippery places where the
path is rough and steep,
Or wander into pitfalls made to catch unguarded
feet?
viii they grow to honored manhood and to wo-
mans enobling sphere,
Or will they fall by the wayside in vice and shame
and fear2
When they gather in the school room will they
all be there once more,
Or will some have joined the classes gathered on
the unseen shore?
AS they travel on their journey toward the
"mansions built on high"
We can wait, and watch, and guide them as their
footsteps pass us by.

While the present we have with us but the future,
