Silent is the slogan of society That in the sunny long ago Filled young hearts with glad anxiety: aTheren be a dance after the show" The opera now's the real thing, For the plaudits of the Prima Donna, Whose clear notes vie with the ring Of the siver-keyed piano. The apparel may be gaudy and scant, And longitudinally abbreviated; But while Fashions law is extant, Bashfulness must be repudiated. So holy Joes may keep on hooting, Still, boys will always be boys, With the goody good on equal footing Applauding the bull dog at Gius.

Temporary Home, South Chill Mis-
sion, Lin Ching, Shan Tung Province,
January 10, Iooo.--Dear Friends: The
trouble with the United Fists or the
Boxers, still continues. At one time it
was deemed likely that we should all
need to face the winner and start for
Tientsin. December 6 was the day set
for raiding us at Ling Ching. You know
