Here Is fetching description Of q
military review which we Gull from
Mr.. Harold Gorsts' book on China:
"At one extremity Of the field there
was raised on slight elevation Of the
ground platform shaded by an i'm
mense red parasol and ornamented
with lanterns, streamers and some
large lanterns that did not seem par
ticularly necessary. as the sun was
shining in full splendor. The Inspector
extraordinary Of the imperial army
and the principal civic and military
mandarins Of the town were on the
PLATFORM seated In armchairs before
little tables covered with tea things
and boxes filled with excellent tobacco
The moment arrived to begin. A little
culverin that stood near the platform
was fired off, the military judges coy
ering their ears with their hands to
protect them from the frightful detona-
ton. then yellow flag was hoisted to
the top Of one of the forts, the to.ll-
toms sounded furious charge, and
the soldiers rushed together pellmell,
uttering terrible cries and grouping
themselves around the flag of their
company.
ut Is impossible to imagine any
thing more whimsical and comic than
the evolutions Of the Chinese soldiers.
They advance, draw back, leap, piror-
cite, cut capers, crouch behind th2;r
shields, as If to watch the en- my, then
jump up again, distribute blows right
and left and then run away with all
their might, crying, Victory, v!ctory!"

Mr.. Kimberley's Nimble wit.

James G. Blaine was nonplused
once while he was secretary of state.
One Of the applicants for a consulate
in Japan was the late Samuel Kimber-
ley of Baltimore, who died in the serv-
ice in Central America. After he had
presented his credentials Mr.. Blaine
said
II should like to appoint you, Mr..
Kimberley, but have made it rule
to recommend no one who does not
speak the language Of the country to
which he is sent Do you speak Jap
aneseY'
"Cert-t-tainly. Mr.. B-Blaine," STAN
mered Mr. Kimberley. ''A-a-ask me
s-s-something in J-J-Japanese and I'll
answer you"
Mr.. Blaine hadn't word to say, but
the Japanese post went to another
man. all the same, and Kimberley
went to Central America.
Another story Is told of Kimberley
equally creditable to his nimble wit
One day he met young woman who
threw her arms impulsively around his
neck and kissed him. Seeing her mis-
take, she drew back and angrily ask
ed:
"Aren't you Mr.. Jones?"
"N-n-no, madam" replied Kimber-
ley, bowling; Pm n-n-not, but l
w-w-wish to thunder w-w-was."-

Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, writing in

Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, writing in
the November Ladies' Home Journal
in further emphasis of the teachings
of his famous book, Sin His Steps, -
reiterates that "the teachings of
Jesus will work in the market, the
home, the school, the shop, the street,
the life of man everywhere, but they
cannot work in a selfish heart, and
they are not capable of expression in
a soul that has putanyone on the throne
except Him who is the Lord of all.
Why are men afraid to try love in
business? Why are they cowardly in
the face of giving the greatest thing
in the world it's most supreme test?
Come, let us take Jesus at his word.
If we seek the kingdom of God first
we shall have all the physical things
we need. What would Jesus do?
There is no question as to his con-
duct in our places. There is no casu-
iStry in the question when asked hon
estly every day. When the world is
willing to ask it, and live according to
the daily answers, it will begin to en-
JOY it's millennium. Perhaps that
golden age will be this coming CEN
fury. Why not? 1t rests with the
human race to prove that of all the
mighty forces thatrule the life of men
on earth, none is SO mighty, so prac-
tical, so permanent, so productive of
happiness and power as the life of
Jesus lived over again in the lives of
those who believe in him as the life
abundant for weary world"

notwithstanding that we are unable
to use our fast press and folder, and

King Solomon an Egotist,

And yet this king (Solomon) with his
magnificence and unrivaled power, this
shrewd judge, this skillful statesman,
this scholar with his wide culture, be-
came pessimist. and stands forth one
of the saddest figures In all the his
tory Of melancholy. But If we analyze
his misery we find that he was pessi-
mist not because men are disciplined
by conflict and trouble, but because he
was confirmed egotist.
Had men used printing presses in
those faroff days the first letter to be
exhausted in setting up Solomon's
copy would have been the capital letter

Has DeWey's Signature.
Secured the Admiral's Auto
graph on Some Cloth
FOR PATRIOTIC QUIT
Is Written With a Lead Pencil
at Naples.
Mailed August 9th, It Has just
Reached Her.

Winfield, Aug. 22.-Nrs. A. c. Bangs
of this city has Dewey's autograph on
a piece of cloth about four by six in
ches in size.
When the news of the victory at Ma
Mia last year reached her she COM
menced work on a fancy quilt made
of patriotic colors in honor of the
event. It afterwards occurred to her
that she might secure the great ad-
miral's autograph on a piece of cloth
and make it part of the quilt. The long
er she thought of the idea the more
plausible it seemed although she knew
he was probably weary of such re-
quests. Finally she mustered up the
courage to try and sent a piece of
white cloth telling him what she want
ed with it. She addressed the letter to
Hong Kong and Sunday received the
coveted signature.
1t was written apparently with a
common lead pencil and was accom-
panied by a letter from H. H Caldwell
whose title is aid and secretary 1t
was mailed at Naples August 9Th. and
was typewriter on stationery on
which was embossed the admiraPs flag.
Mrs. Bangs has now decided instead
of putting the cloth in the quilt where
the marks would soon be Obliterated,
to have the autograph framed with a
picture of Dewey, each making the
other more highly priced. In this man
ner she hopes to preserve the signature
for all time to come unless accidentally

ALL FOR SOLDIERS.
Twentieth Kansas Should Be
Allowed to March Unattended.

S. NJ. Fox, adjutant general, today
expressed the opinion that in the re
ception being planned for the Twenti
eth Kansas, the regiment should re-
ceive all the honors bestowed on that
occasion.
For this reason" said Mr.. Fox, st
hope the Twentieth will be permitted
to march on Kansas avenue, unattend-
ed by civic or military societies. The
soldiers will be the guests of honor and
nothing should be placed in the parade
to detract the attention of the people
from the men who went forth to battle.
I hope to see Kansas avenue lined
with cheering thousands, and I hope
the cheers will be for the soldiers.
1.-The people should be kept on the
sidewalks and the regiment given the
whole street in which to march. A
grand stand should be erected for the
veterans of the Civil war where they
can sit down and see the heroes of a
subsequent generation, upon whom the
honors of war have been bestowed.
This reception is for the Kansas sol
diers from the Kansas people. If the
civic and military societies care to
have a parade in honor of the soldiers,
it would be an excellent idea, but I
believe it should not take place at the
same time the soldiers are marching on
the street.
