How Revival Was Suddenly Closed In .
Kansas Town.
"Bad Bill" was well-known charac-
ter in the west, and there are many stor-
les told Of his exploits, but one of the
best has never been printed, and was re-
lated to Star reporter by man who
was present.
Great Bend, Kan.. now one of the best
towns in the state, was at one time
about the worst This was when it was
a railroad terminus before Dodge City
was established.
\ travelling evangelist went to Great
bend and tried to start a revival.
There were a few Christians in town
and these all attended the first meeting,
the only one of the unregenerate pres
emit being bad Bill" who took front
seat. Everyone feared trouble when
he walked into the church, but he sat
quietly during the exhortation. The
evangelist requested all who wanted to
so to Heaven to stand up and every per-
son present except Bill arose. When
they were seated again Bill got up. and,
drawing two pistols, said:
''You all say that you want to go to
Heaven. Now. anything can do to help
this game along and give pleasure to the
players I'm in for. You all want to go
10 Heaven and III give you as good a
chance as you'll ever have. The first
man that gets up I'll give him ticket
clean through without any stop-overs. :"
The evangelist crawled under seat
and the members of the congregation
laid on the chairs.
"Well,~ said Bill" I see that you wasn't
In earnest, so We'll put out the lights
and call this meetin' adjourned" One
by one he shot out the lights and by
morning the evangelist was on his way
to Hutchinson, while the members OF
his congregation kept quiet and made

Eating When Fatigued.

Everyone should know that to eat
when tired is to place upon the diges-
tive organs burden which they are
wholly unable to carry. When the
body is in state Of fatigue, the diges-
tive organs are unable to perform their
natural functions; the glands OF the
stomach will not form gastric juice;
the saliva is deficient in quantity; and
the whole digestive apparatus is inca
pable of doing efficient work. When
exhausted, one should rest before eat
ing. If faint Of "all-gone" sensation
is experienced, relief may be obtained
by drinking glass of hot water or
diluted fruit juice of some sort.I.Good

Trees for a Young Orchard.

The most important point to observe
when setting out young orchard is to
secure strong and healthy trees. Many
fruitgrowers import diseases on their
farms at the time of purchasing their
Young fruit stock. Trees one year old
will often thrive better than those that
are older. and they are also more easily
examined. Every tree should be care
fully inspected from the tips to the
roots and should be procured from
nurserymen known to be reliable.

THE MUSTAChE.

How It Became . Symbol OF LIbe1 ~ n
Fraternity.
The mustache, that questionable
adorament of mans upper lip, is
trembling in the balance. The fashion
able man of the hour who eschews this
time-honored ornament will tell you
that it is crying and unnecessary evil,
and is bound to go. And where can one
find better criterion Of such nomen-
tous subjects than the fashionable man
OF the hour? In years to come the
grandchildren of beardless race may
have to turn to their encyclopedias to
find out what mustache was. Antici-
psting this, says the Cincinnati EnYuir-
er, sort of advance sheet may be found
in the following:
The home OF the mustache is in Spain.
After the Moors first invaded the coun-
try the Christian and Moslem popuia-
ton became so mixed that it was Diff
cult to say which were Moors and which
were Spaniards.
The Spanish then hit upon a means
by which they could at once distin-
guish their brethren. They did not
shave their lips any longer. and they
allowed tuft of hair to grow below
the mouth, so that their boards formed
the rude outline of cross.
Thus the mustache became q symbol
Of liberty and fraternity.

The COrean King Said to BE Moved
by 1t.
X W. Irwin, who has been in Japan for
thlrty years and has represented the Ha-
Walan government there, first as consul
ana a1terward as the minister, during the
greater part OF that time, has arrived at
San Francisco from the orient. He said:
The statement that Russia has establish
ed a suzerainty over Corea is incorrect. al
though the fact that the king has been
housed In the Russian legation might lend
credence to that supposition. Japan's am
hitlon does not extend to Corea American
influence is uppermost in the kingdom and
l am credibly informed that the king iS
actlnS entirely under the advice of three
AmerlcanS-Mlnister Sill, the secretary of
the American legation and an American
missionary by the name of Underwood"
Irwin says that Japan's sole ambition now
is commercial and Industrial advancement
lhe government is encouraging the con-
struction and maintenance of railway and
steamship lines and manufacturing indus
Tries. He declares, however that a false
impression has been gained Of the extent
ana Importance of the steamship subsidies
recently offered.
The subsidies offered are entirely made
quate Tor the purpose of maintaining
powerful line OF transpacific steamers" he
declared he Nippen Yuzen I-aiasa which
mas undertaken to run line of ships be-
tween Japan and Seattle, will think better
OF the project before two or three years
are passed, and the company which is head
ed by ASano, will, in my honest opinion
never materialiZe. 1t will be many years
before San Diego is the terminus of any
Japanese transpacific steamship line that
Asano or any other Japanese capitalists or
corporation may establish. Asano's under
taking Is largely myth.
Just now the trans-Siberian railway is
attracting considerable attention in the
ORIENT. l believe that in three years the
trans-Siberian railway will be completed to
Nladivostock and a port on the Yangtsi
river, probably Hankow. 1t stands to rea-
son that the road will tap China if 1t wants
to get business. Its terminus will not be
an open port to Corea 1t will be a port on
the iangtsi river, the tea market of the
world. Russia will build from the Mon
golian frontier to Peking with French cap
ital, and China will build from Peking to
Hankow or some point nearby on the river
with British capital. This is at present the
fixed program. and Ii Hung Chang will see
it carried out, if he lives a few years He

would doubtless have been observed The
force of the wind is found to change the
position of the top of the monument to one
side or another. but merely as much as a
minute fraction Of an inch. On very hot
summer days the expansion of the south
face of the great obelisk, which face Is the
longest exposed to the Sun, is sometimes
found to shift the apex toward the north a
few hundredths of an inch. Thus the ele-
ments cause the plummet line to move ir-
regularly around it's normal resting place.
but 1t Is found invariably TO lean toward
iris normal when there Is no great heat or
wind. Directly after the severe hurricane
of this autumn, the statement of the plum
met wire was taken, and it was found ia
hang only two one-hundredths of an inch
of the normal. This was about the usual
detection, showing that whatever the bend
ing of the shaft was during the fury of
the storm, it returned to Its normal posi-
ton after the elements had subsided.
