The man of Christian integrity
has but one advantage, the repu-
tation OF honor and honesty which
he builds up for himself, but this
is often Of greater advantage to
him than the tricks and receptions
that others practice. By pru-
dence, economy and foresight an
honest man ought to succeed in
any line of legitimate business
No Christian man can put gold
above God, currency above Christ,
or coin above character.

A Bachelors Dream.

Out on the porch amid the scent
Of honeysuckle rich with bloom,
I sit and watch the coming night,
The fire-fies dancing in the gloom.
The moon drops down behind. the hill,
The shadows deepen on the floor;
I wander through the yesterdays
With one who walks with me no more.
I see an old house long and wide,
And hear the night winds whispering lc
Across the fields of rustling corn,
And cotton white as drifted snow.
The porch is hung with tangled vines,
That hide the lovers sitting there,
Who dream and plan with happy smiles,
For future days so sweet and fair.
I slip a ring upon her hand,
She leans on me with loving trust;
All, me, how long the years have been
Since that slim finger turned to dust.
And yet sometimes it seems to me
But yesternight, and once again
sit by her and hear once more
The darkies singing in the lane.
l hear again her happy voice
Upon the night air softly fall,
And dreaming of the life planned,
wonder why lost it all.
Lose! No, I did not lose it all,
She waits for me somewhere; and ye
Wiener dream of those old DAYS,
My faded eyes with tears are wet.

HAS LIVED na YEARS.
Attributes His Longevity to His Daily
Habit of Sun Bathing.


Habit of Sun Bathing.
There is one man in the land for
whom age has no terrors. He ia An
drew ]. Thompson, aged 113, Of Santa
Rosa. Cal, and this interesting tndi-
vidual recently arrived at Weyerhau-
ser. Wis. accompanied by his grand
sons, one aged 81 and the other SO, to
attend the wedding of his sranddaush-
ter. The aged Californian is wealthy.
having made a large fortune in Cali
fornia gold properties In the early
days. He Is well educated, having been
trained as a doctor in Edinburgh, from
which city he took his departure for
the United States with several others,
now all dead, In 1909. 1t is not stretch
ing the truth to assert that Mr..
Thompson appears about IS years Of
age, writes a correspondent. He stands
as straight as a pine, has square
shoulders and his face Is full and
round. His grandsons say that he is
able to run mile in six minutes, and
he himself believes that he will live
another century. The secret of his
longevity, Mr.. Thompson says, is sun
bathing. Since he ceased active busi-
ness 60 years ago he has never let a
day pass without barring his body to
the suns rays. He says: "On my place
in California I have an inclosed space
where 1 am free to go as naked as Cod
made me without being seen by any
human eye. There is a little lake and
some woodland and a rose garden, and
during the time of my sunbath l.
ramble about through the paths as in
nocent of adornment as was Adam in
the Garden of Eden. The sun sinks
into my old bones and gives them new
life. My skin is as brown as an In
dams all over. 1t has been that way
ever since l began this practice Of sun
bathing. For cold weather l have a
glass house at the top of my residence,
comfortably fixed up, and there l take
my bath through the windows when
compelled so to do. There Is no
crankiness in my methods" concluded
the aged traveller. "It is simply giving
the Lords own medicine a chance to
do its work, and l can assure you that
one hour of bright sunshine pouring
down on the bare human body is more
beneficial to the health OF that body
than a whole dispensary Of drugs"

is attempting to foist upon the
country, then the country will be

more OF the spolls Of government

what it represents and who will vote

PURIFYING SEWAGE.
How Paris Aooomplishss 1t without
Any Danger 10 Health.

A recent consular report from Paris
details the operation Of the Paris sys-
tenn of sewage disposal for the purih-
cation of the Seine. The system IL
practically the same as that employed
at Berlin, the sewer water being pump
ed upon outlying farms, from which
the purified water is allowed to return
to the river. The first experiment was
made more than thirty years ago and
proved entirely satisfactory. The lat
est addition was in 1896. The total OF
land available is 1880 acres. not all
all which is utilized. A part of this
land has been purchased by the
municipality-about 1000 acres-the
remainder being offered free for the
city's use by the private owners. The
cost of the plant, begun thirty years
ago, was $1,15S.000 and the cost OF all
equipments, including canals, has been
$7,334,0O0. Figured on the Partisan
basis. Chicago might have disposed of
its sewer water at plant cost Of not
more than 81, ,0OO, 900 or Sc, 900, 900, with
the result OF actually eliminating the
noxious elements and increasing the
fertility of a considerable area about
the city. On the same basis Pittsburs
ought to be able to dispose of its sewer
water at cost of $4,000 900 or 81, 3,000.-
900 at the most. European cities have
been driven to these means Of SANTA
tion by bitter experience. American
cities have profited in other matters by
European experience, and they may in
this. They have profited to an extent
that, together with the advance in gen.
eral medical and sanitary science, has
raised the average Of human life in
this country from little more than
thirty years to forty years. But in
the particular of polluting the streams
the United States have shown so little
disposition to improve that 1t may he
doubted whether 1t will reform with
out costly lesson Of experience.

T1ayed In Pamphlet Written by
Young Reformsr
The reason the Empress Dowager OF
China has offered reward of 100000
taels for Kang Yu Wei is that this
bold young rsformer recently publish
ed and circulated extensively through
Her Majesty's domains pamphlet OF
a most outrageous nature. 1t was de-
voted exclusively to the career and
character of the venerable empress,
and purportsd to be an accurate biog-
raphy. 1t accused her OF every vice
and crime in the calendar, from muir
der and treason to petit larceny, and
was both insulting and indecent in Its
language This Of course is an unpar-
donable sin, and Kang must pay for
his audacity with his life sooner or
later. Since he fed from the palace
at Peking, at warning from the en-
peror himself, on the night when the
empress resumed power, he has had
several marvellous escapes. He has
twice stood in the presence of officers
who were searching for him. Once his
arrest was prevented by the interven-
ton of British oficials. and he is now
supposed to be living under British
protection somewhere in the East In
dies. He has been driven out of
Hongkong and Japan, and came over
to Vancouver last year. when it was
supposed that he would seek protec-
ton either in the United States or
Canada but 1t appears that his only
object in visiting Vancouver was to
publish his attack upon the Empress
Dowager, for he was afraid to intrust
1t to any printer in China. There are
many reasonable secret societies and
Chinese exiles In British Columbia and
on the Pacific Coast of the United
States who are supposed 10 have con-
tributed money to pay for the print
ing. Kang could not visit the United
States because of the exclusion law,
but he found everything he wanted In
Vancouver. Not only has reward
been offered for his capture. dead or
alive, but the government has ordered
the tombs of his ancestors razed to the
ground, which 10 the severest punish
ment that can be inflicted upon a
Chinese gentleman, because the graves

BRYAN AND STEVENSON.

strong one. In fact the convention
did better than it had anticipated
that it could do.
Personally we were in favor of
Towne. He is man of deep in>
tellectuality, strong will and un>
doubtedly one Of the most pro-
found thinkers and writers upon
the monetary system of our coun>
try that could have been nominated.
On the whole for the success OF
the ticket, however, we believe that
Adlai E. Stevenson will carry more
votes for the party than any other
man of the vice presidential field,
who could have been nominated.
The policy Of Mr.. Cleveland
never suited Mr.. Stevenson, when
he was the vice president with Mr..
Cleveland. Stevenson had ideas of
his own and simply to curry favor
with Cleveland he would not sub
ordinate them and he was therefore
isolated as far as it was possible
from the counsels of the party.
This petty warefare of Cleveland's
did not belittle Stevenson so much
as it did Cleveland.
Democrats all over the country
like Mr.. Stevenson today better
than they do the man who cruci>
fed his party to make himself the
toady Of rich men and who ever
since, after the many honors be>
slowed upon him by his party, has
never failed to attempt its crucifx>
ion, whenever opportunity offered.
Stevensop's nomination cannot
fail to please and to unity all fac>
tons of the party. He is in SYM
pathy with Mr.. Bryan and what he
represents and yet is thoroughly a
democrat. AS the presiding off
Ger of the senate he was universal
ly liked for his wise and just rul-
ings and enjoyed the confidence
and esteem, not only of his party
associates, but OF the members OF
the opposition, who look upon him
to this day as conservative, even
ly balanced gentleman and states>
man.
The state of Illinois, one of the
great central states of the Union
and state which has been carried
by the democracy several times,
notably in 1892 when Mr.. Steven
son carried it for the ticket by a
majority over Harrison of 26,oo3
votes, can without any doubt what
ever be carried by the democratic
national ticket with Mr.. Stevenson
as the vice presidential standard
bearer.
The state of Illinois has twenty
four electoral votes and if this state
and the state of Indiana with fifteen
electoral votes can be carried,
which it can undoubtedly be, with
the character Of the men and the
sections which they represent upon
the national democratic ticket, it
places the success of the republican
ticket in doubt at once, without
considering the possibility Of car-
rying many other states that were
carried for Mckinley in 1896.
There was strong and popular
feeling for Hill for vice president,
but considering his attitude four
years ago it is far better that the
convention decided as it did. If
Hill will make good that shibboleth
uttered several years ago that Il am
