The imperial troops who were seen Mon
day near Pei Tia Chu are believed to have
been concerned in this movement. Tho
acting viceroy at Tien Tsin was notified
that orders had been issued to dispense
the boxers but he feared to send out
troops because of the presence Of the allied

Some times We hear men talking
about having reverence for religion and
for Christ, but they will have nothing
to do with the church Some radical
writer's on the labor question have even
advocated this position. Mr.. Debs in
his speech at Wheeling two years ago
gave expression of such sentiment. l
know of nothing that would so COM
pletely make the condition of the la
Dor cause deplorable as to array itself
against the church. The church as a
whole is in sympathy with the Cypress
ed. When it came to the final issue
she always has been. There never was
a reform in this country and there
never will be n without the mighty
force of the church back OF it. The
church may be slow in realizing her
duty at times, for it takes education
to get the masses to arouse themselves
and move, but once aroused the church
has always taken the right side of ev-
cry question. 1t was the New Eng
land pulpit which aroused our fore
fathers to strike the blow for liberty
and establish this republic. 1t was the
Northern pulpit which finally forced
the nation to break the shackles from
5000, 900 of slaves.

A new variety Of the everyday phi
losopher" is pictured by the Chicago
News in the person of a man who, it
says, came racing down the iron steps
which led to the train-shed at the
Northwestern depot, just as a train
was pulling out. He was stout and per-
spring, and his arms were filed with
bundles. Everybody got out OF his
way as he chased the rear car down
the long platform, some shouting ad-
vice and pleasant comment after him.
Some sportively inclined people offered
bets in a loud voice on his chances
Of catching the train, and others
laughed at his grim determination. But
he caught It and was hoisted up on the
platform by a trainman without the
loss Of a bundle. He shook his fist at
the cheering crowd behind him, and
went inside the car with the blessed
sense of having won. II vas only
when the conductor came around for
his ticket that he learned that he was
on the Milwaukee division train
bound for Evanston without a stop,
when he should have been moving to-
ward Park Ridge, which lies In a diff
ferent direction. Most men would have
said something ugly. This man only
smiled. There's one comfort about
it," said he. Those idiots in the depot

the Soldiers Shrek with laughter
Had His Own way.
"a pack mule that has seen service
gets very cunning" said an ex%-soldier
in the New Orleans Times-D Democrat.
Il remember we had one old fellow
who had beer in the army for twelve
OF fifteen years, and he knew as much
as most Of the men. He vas occasion
ally used as leader, and was very fond
of that job, because in that case he
had no load to carly. To see him
maneuvering to get ITO the front was
very comical. The regulation pack
weighs 200 pounds, and the mules soon
learn to size it up to a nicely, refusing
to carry anything more. For that
reason they are blipafolded while be-
ing loaded, otherwise they would be
continually looking around to see
whether the pack W inside the limit.
On one occasion we received a coffin
to be sent to Siboney, and the old mule
referred to was selected to carry It.
The coffin weighed only twenty-five
pounds, but the mule must have con-
Guided from its size that 1t weighed a
ton, and he Immediately began to groan
in the most pitiful manner. exactly
like a human being When the coffin
was put on his back he pretended to
stagger and sagged down as If he were
carrying a ten-inch gun. At the same
time he turned his head and looked at
me with a m%ournful expression that
was as easily read as so much print.
Good heavens he seemed to say, are
you going to allow me to be crushed
by this enormous burden?' We were
shrieking with laughter and tried to
make him take his place in line, but
not an inch would he bulge. Finally
he deliberately rolled over ard knocked
the coffin on. That settled it. We
let the old rascal take the bell, and 1
could almost hear him chuckling as
1t was looped around his neck. An
other mule vas then blindfolded and
took on the CONN without trouble"
