WINDOW IN THE TENT,
An Old Soldiers Way of Securing
VENTILATION When In the EieId

An Old Soldiers Way of Securing
Ventilation When In the Field.
II never pull down the window from the
top to let in a little fresh air when I go
to bed" said the old soldier to a New York
Sun man, without thinking OF how we used
to open the window in the tents In the army
In war times. An A tent, seven feet square
at the base and running up, wedge-shaped
to a ridge pole seven feet above the ground.
made comfortable enough quarters for four
men II you could leave the tent open, which
was equivalent to leaving off the front of
the house, but If it was cold or rainy, and
the wind blew on the front Of the tent so that
you had to close 1t, why then you wanted
ventilation somewhere, and you got 1t by
making an opening in the back Of the tent.
There was a seam, overlapping, running
down the middle Of the back of the tent from
the ridge pole to the ground, and we used to
cut the stitches along that seam, up near
the top of the tent, and spread the sides
apart by putting in a stick six or eight
inches long across the middle, making there
a diamond-shape opening, about a foot long,
which served the purpose admirably.
The mems guns stood at that end OF the
tent butts resting on a piece Of cracker box,
the barrels held In some sort of a holder Sc
cured to the tent pole. II the wind changed
on some rainy night and came around TO
blow against the back OF the tent, the rain
would come ia on the guns and on us, and
then somebody would get up and shut the
window, that is take the stick out and let
the canvas come together again there, and
then open the tent a little at the other end,
at the front.
This all used to seem kind o. strange,
then somehow, though practically it was just
what l would have done in the old house at
home and just what I'd do here now"

called out a friend as our train moved off
for London.
Where Is it?" we shouted. All we heard
OF the answer was, Hyde Park"
One pleasant afternoon, therefore, we
started out and proceeded to stop an omni-
bus. Here, selecting the original seat OF
an investigating committee, the one next
the driver, we tapped that fountain Of
knowledge on the shoulder and asked:
Can you tell us where to find the dog

had asked him the only question about Lon

his professional reputation to be at stake.

Good afternoon"
We did not meet any one crossing the
park, and so plodded along under the hot
sun, ignoring all shady paths, as we had
somehow assumed the cemetery to be in a
spot barren and treeless. At length the
entire distance across the park was ira
versed. Again our question, leveled at a
bobby in front of the gates of Victoria. He
simply raised his upper limb of the law and
pointed towards the park lodge that stands
Just inside the entrance. We passed
through a gate, out behind the lodge, to
find ourselves in the dog cemetery-and no
dog could ask for a better.
1t is enclosed by beautiful shrubbery
which quite conceals it from the passers-by,
and there are more than two hundred head
stones Of uniform size. They are of white
marble, about fifteen inches high. marking
lots less than three feet long. Most Of the
graves had bright flowers blooming on them,
many were UNCOVERED. A few were dec

ISN'T everything TO good store
keeping; even a good salesman
fails when he tries TO sell eau
tiously, clothing that isn't
made as it should be. In the
long run only the best clothing
pays; especially when the best
clothing can be had at the
price of the next best. Our
clothing is so we'll made, so at
tractive in appearance and
looks so desirable that it re-
quires less energy and breath
and persuasion on the part of
the salesman TO sell il.
After we have sold il once,
we can sell it with still less eff
fort to the same customer. 1t
is the kind of clothing that
brings your customer back
again and again-the kind
with which we can build up a
lasting trade. And that is
what We are doing in all our
lines.

CHINESE MISSION

mission has recently paid brief visit
TO Kauai and ne has returned much
impressed with the good work which
is going on there. In former years, a
colporteur was stationed on that ISL
and. For some time, however the Ha-
waiian Board has not been represented
in the work among the Chinese. Last
year it was decided to send our Maui
preacher to make an evangelistic tour
of the Island, and with him also went
Mr.. Tang You, a Chinese evangelist,
who has remained there working, espe-
cially in the Waimea district, among
his countrymen. Some faithful work
ers from the Salvation Army have
been devoted in their efforts for the
spiritual advancement of the Chinese,
and have gathered a corps" from this
people, who are not ashamed to stand
up for Jesus" Behind these different
laborers stands the Waimea Foreign
Church, pastor and people, ready to
help forward in every way the good
work. Rev. Mr.. Massey recently bap-
tized two most interesting young Chi
neSe men from Hanapepe; others are
interested and most earnestly do we
pray that the good work may go on.
We had recently the pleasure OF be-
ing present at most inspiring union
meeting in Mr.. Massey's church, where
a large number of Chinese were PRES
ent, and besides representative of
eight or nine other nationalities, MAX
ing liz all a congregation of over two
hundred. Most gratefully would we
acknowledge pecuniary aid for the adj
vancement of the work from friends at
different points on the Islands. Several
of the students in the Mills Institute"
are from Kauai, and we expect others
for the coming year.
