himself in the center of the worst part
Of Chicago the public establishment

a doctor of divinity and a bishop
should want to save souls in this par
ticular manner. If we were to resign
our charges for the purpose Of going to
Bombay or Hongkong or any place in
Africa, the churches and the people
would exclaim at the heroism Of mis-
sions. Why should it seem SO great q
thing if we have been led to give our
lives to help rescue the heather and the
lost OF our own city in the way we are
going to try? Is it, then, such a ire
mendous event that two Christian min
listers should be not only willing but
eager to live close to the misery Of the
world in order to know 1t and realize
it? Is it such rare thing that love Of
humanity should find this particular
form Of expression in the rescue Of
souls p E s

Felicia. ''You poor bishopl You look

him so often. Sit down here and let me

So Felicia and the bishop had an i'm

tell the truth, had not taken time for
weeks to enjoy his meals, Toasted on the
delight Of his unexpected discovery and
was able to express his establishment

MoDDER RIVER, Dec. 15.-Details
gathered here by the Associated Press
among the wounded British and Beers
give some idea of the desperate nature
OF the fight at Magersfontein. The
Highlanders did all the most gallant
troops in the world could do, but 1t
was impossible to face the terrible fire
of the Beers. The British artillery
again saved the situation and divided
the honors Of the day with the Scots
The artillery worked for hours under

stories it is impossible for the burghers
to have escaped fearful loss. One Boer

that two other shells burst over two

FEAR OF THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

state Horticultural Society Asks Congress
for Protection From 1t.
Dies MONIES, Dec. 15.-At the state
horticultural society convention the
San Jose scale came up for considera-
ton. The last legislature passed q
law providing q method Of protecting
Iowa orchards against the ravages OF
this pest, but the members OF the
society fear that still more is neces-
cary. They believe the danger to Iowa
orchards is serious, and that the state
law cannot fully meet the demands OF
the occasion. For example, the state
cannot exercise any control over plants
and seeds sent by mail, and yet in
these there is serious danger. The re-
suit was the adoption of resolutions
calling on congress for protection.
The scale has not done any serious
damage in Iowa thus far, at least none
has been reported. But its ravages
