An Unselhsh Gnndcr.

Amos Tiiiotson. OF .Titusvlle. n, j.. has
and old gander, which he calls Samson.
He recently discovered that Samson was
much under weight and very weak, He
says he kept II watch on the old bird and
found that he had formed a strong attach
ment for the fish In Hill's pond. near the
farm.
All the food the gander could gather,
Tillotsin says, he took to the pond ttnd fed
to the iish, meantime almost starving him
self to death.
"a few days ago." said Tiilotson yester-
day. ~ went to the pond to catch a mess
Of fish. Samson followed me. As fast as
could take the tish out and pull 'em OF the
hook, he'd grab 'em up by the tail and
pull 'em into the water again. | hit him
over the dead with the iish pole and he
jumped on me. The only way l could keep
him quiet was to tie his legs.
u got my mess of fish, but Samson hain't
had nothing to do with me since. He
spends the most of his time on the pond
He won't have nothing TO do with the other
geese. He seems TO be all wrapped up in
the fish. and don't think about nothing but
stealin' stun to take down to the pond for
them to eat. The fish and him play to-
gether like an old cat and kittens"

MISSION WORK IN CHINA
Mrs. Stephen Baldwin's interest
ing Talk at Wesley Chapel.
She Corrects Many False Ideas of
the Country, Its People and
It's Customs

Mrs. stephen L. Baldwin, who spent
twenty years in China doing missionary
work, addressed the congregation OF Yves
ley Chapel last night, on the subject OF
"Foreign missions
The greater part of her remarks was
devoted to describing the habits and sus-
capabilities of the Chinese. No land,
she said, is more beautiful than China.
Mrs. Baldwin told of Chinanan who had
committed every deed in the category of
crime. He was a little chary at first
about believing God cold help lis case.
He said he was pirate, robber, murderer,
opium smoker, blasphemer, and every
thing else that was wicked. He was the
tbad man, OF the village.
He was persuaded, however, that Gods
power was unlimited and that He had dealt
with many worse cases. The pirate was
converted. As soon as he was sure that he
had been accepted by Christ, he went back
to his native village and instead OF conf
mitting a massacre or two, preached the
"foreigner's' religion. He was immedi-
ately locked up in Il filthy prison, but
American influence secured his release.
He was taken to Foo Chow by the mis-
sionaries, bus he insisted upon being al
lowed to return to his heather fciiow-towns-
men and tell them Of Christ. He returned
and again started TO preach. This time
he was seized, put into dungeon and
afterwards given 1000 lashes with a bam-
boo instrument OF torture. He never re-
covered.
Next Mrs. Baldwin said that the Chinese
were not a cruel race and that the stories
of their heartlessness and abject ignorance
were greatly exaggerated.
An extra collection was taken up. and
large sum was received for foreign mis-
sions.

UNPAID MISSIONARIES.
Mrs Hamline Made an Appeal for
Them at A. C. c. Meeting.

Mrs Teunis s Hamlin occupied the pulpit
last evening at the Fourth Presbyterian
Church and gave a very interesting talk
on Mission and Christian Endeavor work. 4"
The evening was set apart especially for
Endeavorers, and the service was known
as the Harvest Home OF the Y T. S. C. E.
Mrs. Hanilin after compIimenting the
Endeayorers ON the magnitude OF their
undertaking said that she thought It was
n disgrace 10 the Christian community that
the missionaries were unpaid. Their
unpaid salaries, she said. aggregate $50
600, and most OF this money is due for
summer service.
Then she told what an agreeable change
would take place If each member OF the
S. c. f. would contribute 81 for the pay
ment of overdue salaries
