Mrs. f. M. Hall. chairman Of the art
department OF the state federation, went
to Crete February Cd, to give her illus-
trated talk on the congressional library
before the Crete federation Of womens
clubs. She was entertained by Mrs. D.
B. Perry in g most charming manner.
In the afternoon the federation board
was invited to meet Mrs. Hall and de-
lightful hour was spent discussing the
work Of the different clubs. There are
seven clubs in the federation. In the
evening Mrs. Hall was greeted by q good
audience which filed the Presbyterian
church. The lantern was manipulated
by Mr.. Morse. the pastor of the church.
The slides were excellent, and Mrs.
Hall received the closest attention of the
audience for an hour as she wildly de-
scribed this beautiful building. The
meeting was in every way q success.

FOREIGNER S IN CHINA.
Accurate Informstion M to the NUM-
Der Cannot Be Obtained NJ the
Present Time.

There seems to be a woeful lack OF
definite information as to the number
of foreigners now residing in China.
The information is not easy to get.
for when a country stretches thousands
of miles. and il takes q traveller four
months to proceed from the coast to
the far interior, even by constant trav-
cling, it is pain that such statistics
are extremely difficult to obtain. But
one famous foreign newspaper, the
Deutscher Reichs-Anzeiger, has been
at some pains to get particulars of
what figures are available relating to
the known foreigners" in the towns
known as treaty ports"
The figures apply to some seven or
eight towns on the seacoast of China.
open for trade and business to all ma
tionalities. In these we find that there
are in round numbers: English, $3.50;
japanese, 2,440; Americans, 1885;
Russians, 1921; Portuguese. 1923;
French, 1,1S3; Germans, 1874; Span
iards, AS; Scandinavians. 244; Belgians.
234; Danes. 17s; Italians, 1924; Dutch,
106; miscellaneous, 161; total of IT,
1913.
1t thus appears that Englishmen form
more than third portion of all the for
eigners in China. and this fact alone
will show what stake England has in
the most costly stake of all--human
lives-in the events now occurring in
the Celestial empire. A general mas
sacre of al foreigners in that land
would mean that Great Britain should
have to mourn the loss by terrible
death of torture and trial of no fewer
than $500 brave English men and
women!
England's trading firms in these
towns number 401, while Japan's arc

used to be, however. He perceived IN
Wnubeek's marriage the opportunity
of q lifetime for airy badinage, and he
made the most of it. even to the ex-
tent of purchasing nursing bottles
and teething rings and leaving them
conspicuously ON Waubeek's desk.
Warbeek was a sensitive sort of q
chap, and he used to show that these
little attentions disturbed his equa-
nimity. He said nothing, however;
that is, he said nothing aloud, but he
vowed revenge and bided his time.
Then Blenkinsop began to absent
himself from the foregatherings Of
the faithful remnant and became Sc
rious and thoughtful at unreasonable
times, as well as noticeably particu-
lar in the matter of cravats. Todd
discovered him in the parlor once
copying something out of volume of
Elegant Extracts Of Verse" which
had not been taken from the center
table except for busting purposes
within the memory of the Oldest
boarder. He told Sperry about it and
the two decided that Blenkinsop had
q girl and taxed him with it.
Blenkinsop not only admitted it, but
gloried in it. Apparently he could
see nothing ridiculous in the circum-
stance. for when Todd tried to prod
him with some of the choice witt
cisins that had been used on Waubeek
the lover looked at them as If he won
dered at the depth of their imbecility.
and his evidently sincere contempt
checked them for time.
The girl went back to her western
home, but that did not make Blenkin-
sop any more companionable. He was
forever taking from his left breast
pocket bulky letters in square envel-
opes and reading them-even in Office
hours. Still, waubeck said nothing.
One day Blenkinsop put in an an
pearance with a new crocodile yalise
dress-suit case and new suit Of
clothes and told them that he was go
ing to Denver and would be gone for
two weeks.
Going to get rnarried?" asked
Todd.
Il wouldn't wonder, replied Rlen-
kinsop. Il don't want to make any
rash assertions. but that's the inten-
ton"

Imitators do not advertise their formula

Iron acts as tonic while the Quinine drives
the malaria out of the system. Any reliable
druggist will tell you that Groves is the
Original and that all other so-called "Taste-

of other chill tonics shows that Groves is
superior to all others in every respect. You are

by the way, is not in the first flower

MRS. BLEl skINsop
and the INDIANS"
.LENK1Nsops troubles bega

DLENKINSOP'S troubles began
n early in his married life-in fact,
they began some little time before he
was married, but he knew that he was
to blame for it himself, and he is hop
ing that his wife thoroughly under
stands by this time how he has been
maligned. He knows that he deserves
her most implicit trust and conf
dence. He is almost assured that she
knows II, too, but he wishes that she
would not watch him SO narrowly
whenever he opens letter and that
she would not be so seriously playful
when she searches his pockets.
Mrs. Blenkinsop believes everything
that her husband tells her. She would
believe in him and cling to him
though all the world were against
him, as she has told herself a thou
sand times. It. is not at all likely
that she would pay any attention to
what lot of mischievous persons said
when her husband, her own husband,
assured her that their assertions were
false. And yet! Suppose it was true
and there had been such a girl! She
could not help loving Dick. Dick
would make any girl love him. And
he must have encouraged her a little
perhaps a great deal. How I hate
her!" thought the little woman. IF
only part of what that horrid Mr..
Waubeek said was true, then how
faithless, how perjured Dick must be!
Yet that must have been long before
knew him, so what does it matter,
after ALP"
And at this stage of her reflections,
rs the thing is not of the least con-
sequence, and matter of entire in
difference to her, Mrs. Blenkinsop
usually goes to her room for a little
cry. But she is really getting over
It to great extent now.
1t was the result of Waubeek's mar
rage. Waubeek, Todd and Sperry
and Blenkinsop all toiled together in
the same Office. and they were very
chummy, providing around town in
company after Office hours, wheeling,
boating and boarding inseparably.
But after series of mysterious abb
sences Waubeek came to the Office one
morning a married man.
