TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

Whereas our merci(ul God has, in
His wisdom, seen fit to remove from
our ranks a Jealous coIaborer, Miss
Minnie Connevey, an honor to the
profession, and in her pure and no.
bic womanhood, a blessing to hui
manity, we, the teachers of Miller
county desire to express to her be-
reaved mother our deepest condo
lence.
Faithful and earnest in all duties,
eagerly advancing the good wherev-
er fortune placed her, true to all
requisites to the highest code Of
virtues, there can be no consolation
offered better than memory, which
assures a life with us still in the inn
press left upon pupils and friends
and a brighter, unmarried life in
an eternal day,

CHINA SUING FOR PEACE.
Commissioners Appointed to Proceed
to Japan's Capital,

WASHINGTON, Dec, %. Minister
DENLY cabled the state department
yesterday that the Chinese govern
ment has appointed two peace com
missioners, Chang Yin Huan and
Shao, who will proceed at once on
their mission from Peking to the
Japanese capital.
Chang Yin Huan is at present a
member of the Tsung Ii Yamen, or
Chinese Imperial Council, He was
few years ago Chinese minister to
Washington, and has the reputa-
tion of being a thoroughly skilled
diplomat in the form peculiar to
Oriental countries. Shao is now
acting governor of the rich Chinese
province of Huan, and in addition
holds several minor offices in the
imperial government.
There is some speculation here as
to whether an armistiCe will be de-
clared pending the consummation
of treaty of peace, Such a course
is usual in the case of wars between
civilized countries, but there is rea-
son to believe the Japanese are in
disposed to trust the Chinese in the
smallest degree, and if an armistice
is arranged it will be upon such
conditions as to assure the Japan
ese that they will lose none of the
advantages of position which they
now hold
1t can be positively stated that
in no case have the United States
ministers to China and Japan, while
engaged in mediation, undertaken
even to discuss the terms of final
peace, All such matters as the
amount of war indemnity to be
paid by the defeated country, the
guarantee of the independence Of
Corea, the occupation of Port Ar
thur and the Island of Formosa,
have been left untouched, for the
discussion Of the peace commission
ers, and the sole effort of our minis
ters have been directed to bringing
the principals together to discuss
the terms of peace,

TOO LUXURIOUS FOR TEXAS,
Why Senator Reagan Feared to Let
His Constituent See a Bathroom

An amusing anecdote is told on
the genial ex-senator Reagan, of
Texas. A short time before he left
the Senate one Of his long-haired,
slouch-hat constituents, with a
voice like a fog horn (Which he used
freely in all political meetings. came

away from him to refresh himself

OPEN THE DOOR TO THE LORD.

Portal Of the Soul, Knocking
for Admittance.
Commercial Appeal.

LN'''''''NA N''Vi AhppN"''l
The revival service at the Cum
berland Presbyterian church last
night was well attended. The sing
ing was good, and the sermon by
Rev, Hugh Spencer Williams was
an eloquent appeal to the unbeliev
ing to open their hearts and let the
Lord Jesus in.
The text chosen was, "Behold
stand at the door and knock, II
any man hear me and open, / will
come in and sup with him, and he
with me-,
The speaker pictured the Savior
as a babe, and followed Him through
His childhood. His ministry, and
then pictured Him betrayed, tried,
Knocked, spat upon and crucifed, all
for the sake of fallen mankind; all
that He might stand at the door
and knock.
He stands and knocks. He does
not assume, He does not intrude,
He does not tyranize over your hu-
man rights, He allows you to ex-
ercise your will y
The speaker then compared this
heavenly Kings humble approach
to what would be likely to occur
should an earthly king choose to
go and call on one of his subjects,
He continued,
''IIe will stand at the door and
knock as long as you will keep him
out He will not enter until you in
vite Him, He thus dignihes your
human nature. This also places a
heavy responsibility on you, You

GLOW does He knock2 He knocks

you have heard Him knocking at
