Master George kunz:
My Dearest Nephew: I commenced a
letter t. Nina and Nellie last night and
finished IL tins ,nuruing, and will now
write you II yard or iwo.
Since I have had "A reply to letters
written it does not seem that We are

ing and to Sunday school IN the after
noon. Helen, MISS X. and l were in a
class to ourselves and talked over the
lesson in English. l suppose IN year
from now We will each have classes Of
our own to teach in Chinese. We do
not 60 to the evening service. There are
about sixty members in the church and
about 40 attend Sunday school.
l think have not told you that there is
quite high partition through the center
OF the church. 1t does not go all the
way to the pulpit; OF course this middle
wall or partition means that the men
and boys are to sit on one side and the
women add girls on the other side. Are
not the fair sex in China to be pitied?
They have not partitions in the church
es was in at Nankin and Hankow, and
l think the time will come when they
will take them out here.
1t is so nice not to wear hats to church
this warm weather. The sun is so hot
that it is not safe to step out without
an umbrella. Saturday it was 100 de-
grees in the shade. How we do long for
q cold drink these hot days! Don't you
ever mention ice cream. Our drinking
water is brought from the river, boiled
and then filtered, and after putting it in
bottles and letting them hang in the
cistern awhile it is not very cold. They
say Ice water 10 not very healthy, SO We
shall surely not suffer from the effect Of

said Mike, as he cautiously released
the horses heads and they started
down the road Mt gaIlop.
The night was warm and pleasant;
the chinook blew from far sun-warmed
plains, and myriads of stars pierced
the darkness. The road was fairly
good, though seldom travelled, and lay
mostly on an incline towards the
plains. 1t took all divers strength to
hold the horses, shut in for day or
two and headed for Denver, where
they keenly remembered the comforts
of oats and city stable. Mrs. de Rec-
taud as the blackboard swung around
often touched him; she caught his arm
once with u little cry as they plunged
into a hollow; but he talked distantly
of her Journey, restraining any afrcc-
tionate condolences on her part with
reference to the absent Aunt Hannah.
She would go to Colorado Springs;
the train passed through there; she
had n friend-a poor woman-well,
their washerwoman when she and
mamma lived there that winter; and
this washerwoman was really nice
lady, who could buy her some proper
clothes.
"But the money!" she cried, in dis
may. "Have you got any with you?"
They were going up hill, the horses
painting heavily. Oliver took n roll of
bills and put them in her hand. As his
fingers met hers, every nerve in his
frame thrilled.
"This seems great deal" she said,
timidly. Perhaps Aunt Hannah would
not like TO pay so much"
you need not spend il all, Mrs.
Minny, then; and, besides, the bills
are small; that's what makes them
seem so many. Now please put them
carefully in your pocket, and don't let
the dog chew them"
She laughed mcrrily. "Of course
not, you goose! Oh, this ride is lovely!

THE rIso COMPANY.

The above is the style of the firm which

Quoted for mai Y years ln fact the busi-
ness was establi shed in 1864, when S95 was
paid for the first barrel of sugar bought,
that was 33 cents pound ;Other things were
proportionately high, as much of the Piso
Cure is now sold for p cents as was then for
Sl00.
While the firm has been n very persistent
advertiser in newspapers, its aggregate out
lay annually has been comparatively small
so that the steady and rapid increase in
sales to their present large proportions cer-
tainly indicates that Piso's Cure for Con-
sumption POSSESSES high merit as a remedy
for coughs, coldN ana throat and lung
troubles generally. The pleasant taste of
the cure has doubtless contributed materi-
ally TO its popularity
Growth in business has necessitated the
invention of hume rous labOr-saying ma
