MRS. ADA FARNHAM. Treasurer.
1t is very encouraging to me to
learn that SO many people outside
the w. c.. T. o. appreciate the
work done for men in lumber
camps.
The work is not as good as we
would like to make it, yet we have
testimonials from many men,
owners of camps and men en-
ployed in camps that our efforts
are not in vain.
l have always tried to instlll into
the minds of my sisters that the
literature sent should be prepared
as if they were sending to their
own boys. And while l believe
every family should take and read
some good church paper and also
a temperance paper l have never
advocated that such reading alone
was suitable for camps. l always
give directions to have the good
papers, read in the homes, sent
but not without other
papers with them. The greater
the variety the better and picture
papers, Youths Compouion1s, fresh
should be sent freely in
fact any good reading to interest
the men, mot too preachy."
| received much more literature
last year than in any previous year
and several parties have sent me
word or come to me and offered
literature and help for the year.
If your boys, young or old, go
into camp and you know the ad-
dress of that camp and will report
the same to me I will see that it
is supplied. But don't come next
spring and tell me you had a boy
in such and such camp and he
did not get any literature. The
offer is free, but we have no means
of finding out where your boys are
only as you report to me. | wish
l knew l could learn the names
and addresses of all camps not
later than December Is, and dou-
bic the work could be accom-
plished.
One consecrated christian wo-
man has formed a reading circle in
six or eight camps and goes oc-
casionally and reads aloud to the
boys, aside from the work of ar
ranging a change of literature
regularly for each camp.
What can you do?
I wish here to thank allethe kind
hearted people who have given
literature for camp work and to
those who have sent word lately
to know if l still have charge Of
the work and can use good liter
ature, let me say send what you
wishsto contribute to the house or
leave with Mr.. Burgan at the
elevator if you cannot send direct
to camps.
If we lose the habit of giving
we lose the happiness of living.
No faith that these rough fel-
lows can be helped? Read "A
Diamond in the Rough,'' % by M. B.
Williams.
The son of a saloon keeper is
now grand chief templar of the
State Of Pennsylvania. But it was
through the influence of christian,
people he became what he is.
No one who is fit for heaven
wants to 90 there alone.
1t is not the coat that makes the
man.

Missouri,s Cowara Governor.

If the man Stephens, who. to the dis
grace Of his party and state. is Governor
OF Missouri, had deliberately gone to work
TO make himself more contemplate in the
eyes Of all decent people than he was al
ready he could not have accomplished the
purpose more effectively than ne did in
the statement of his position. given 20 the
press yesterday. 1t is the mendaciOus
plea Of d creature totally without manhood
or moral perceptions.
For his refusal to extend the protection
Of a great State to its citizens. exposed to
arson, outrage. and murder under a reign
of terror he attempts to shield himself
by declaring that another poltroon like
himself, the Republican Mayor of st.
Louis. has failed to do his duty What a
dastardly exeuseI When Mayor Ziegen-
helm refused to act for the restoration of
order, it became mandatory upon Stephens
TO step in the breach with all the military
power Of the Commonwealth. But this
precious Governor explains that he did not
feel authorized to adopt extreme measures,
because the ST. Louis Police Board did
not recommend them. Be it known hat
of his own appointees!
Repeatedly respectable women and girls
have been dragged from the street cars,
stripped naked. Hogged. knocked down, and
trampleG on by the rioters. In his state
ment Stephens says:
''The stripping of the women was done by three
girls between the ages OF fourteen and sixteen.
\ saloonkeeper was also arrested suspicion OF
being implicated. IL was not thought best TO or
der out the militia TO shoot them"
The truth is that this novel and afro
eious form OF outrage has been of daily
occurrence. Only yesterday, brave union
driver of a brewery wagon, stood
of a crowd OF three hundred who
were trying to strip and beat two
young woman guilty of the crime
OF riding on a car. Their brave pro-
tector nearly lost his life before the police
arrived on the scene and saved all three
Stephens thinks il is not rest to order out
the militia TO shoot such demoniac anar-
ehsts! No doubt he does. and in so think
ing marks himself as a thing unfit to live
In a civilized community Fifty thousand
women of St Louis petitioned him to call
out the troops for their protection He
turned deaf ear to their plea. Now be

Lord Roberts and the main army appear
to be yet cut of from communication with
the British base. aud the military situation
has greatly changed It is presumable
that Methuen and Kelly Kenny between
them will be able TO clean up the line
within a few days, as the Boer forces be-
tween Kroonstad and the Vaal cannot be
large, and Hunter should be able to take
them in reverse from PotchOfstroom. But
there is no doubt that the Boer operations
at Indy and Rhenoster will greatly retard
Lord Roberts further advance from Pre-
toria. and also tend to revive the spirit Of
resistance among the burghers. The
events Of the last week in South Africa
must be counted as highly unfavorable to
England, especially in view Of her need
for free hand elsewhere. which she does
not now seem likely to secure for some
time TO come.

Circulation Statement.



Although from a diplomatic view
point the alleged appeal Of the Chinese
Emperor, Kwang-Su, to the powers,
through his old tutor. who is at Shanghai
is the most important event of the day, as
far as the international situation is con-
cerned, it seems to deserve treatment
apart Acute observers of the develop
ments In China will not fail to notice that
it was sprung upon the world immedi-
ately after the report reached Europe
that the Empress Dowager had taken
refuge in the Russian Legation. To per-
sons familiar with the deep ways Of di-
plomacy. it will perhaps occur that this
manifesto may have been in reserve for
some time. in anticipation Of just such an
event. II may therefore, be suspected
that the appeal OF the unfortunate young
Emperor for the deposition Of his usurp-
ing aunt, and his own restoration to the
throne was intended as an English
Roland for the Russian Oliver supposed TO
be concealed behind the action Of the
Dowager.
The place Of issue. and the influences
and circumstances surrounding il and the
immediate author Of the document. tend to
excuse the inference that. however just the
appeal may be. it is an expression of the
anti-Russian element in the international
struggle which is raging under the outside
appearance OF philanthropic cooperation
rather than Of the hopes or plans Of
Kwang-Su and his native friends. 1t is
true that the paper is sent out as one au-
thorized by the Emperor; but the proba-
bilities are that the Brother Of tie sun
had as much to DO with il, and is today
as ignorant Of its existence. as is the
3ian In the Moon. The former is close
prisOcer in a bungalow on an island in the
middle of a lake in the imperial area at
Pekin and while it is possible that he
might hold some slight secret conmunica-
tioD with his adherents. it is highly i'm
probable.
The broad chances are that when the ap
peal comes to the attention Of the already
iufuriated Tsi-An. she will hold her
prisoner responsible for it on general prin-
cples and Immediately order his murder.
That would not nerd matters. and it might
mar them considerably. As long as
Kwang-Su. the rightful occupant Of the
throne is alive. he offers a rallying po.nt
and a convenient excuse for an obvious
line OF policy TO be pursued by the powers
interested to prevent Russian control OF
the Empire. Once dead, the game woulu
become more difficult. There would be a
strong point in supporting and restoring
the legal Emperor, but a new one could
hardly be manufactured to order without
involving a deadly quarrel
Naturally the first thing that should l.
done when the international forces gain
control Of Pekin would be 70 release
KWang-Su. supposing him still on earth
and to arrest and imprison his aun.. The
Shanghai manifesto may precipitato events
which Will render such coup d'etat in,
practicable and perhaps Impossible.
