DEFlED BY CHINA.
European Ministers Detained iu Pekin

An imperial edict saying that the Eu-
ropean ministers at Pekin are held as
hostages to deter the allies advance on
the capital leaves no room to doubt that
China has been deceiving the powers. The
edict orders the vicercys to prepare to
oppose the march on Pekin of the Euro
pean army at Tien-Tsin.
A Washington correspondent in sum

says that this government, while >o2
tinung to maintain the theory that the
imperial government is in no way in
plicated ID the anti-foreign uprisings in
China, is prepared at any moment to
abandon this position and regard the
Chinese empire as an enemy. The army
and navy are prepared to act With the
forces of the other powers against all
opposition in China. whether from
Boxers and insurgents or from the army
of the Chinese emperor.

AS rule the farmer Is honest. Some
are so eager to get rich that they are
not very honest with themselves, and
1t is hardly to be expected they will be
with anybody else In discussing this
topic, a writer In the Homestead right
~ concludes that a farmer can be the
most dishonest man in the world, IL he
desires to be. All the good OF every
thing can be put in the top of the heap
if he is inclined, and there IS room in
so many places to be dishonest, but as
class they are not dishonest. The
best man in every special line likes to
make his packages good in quantity
and appearance, He will and should
put a few of the best in T. top of the
package. but all in the package should
be merchantabe. 1t is the honest far
mer that prospers. The dishonest may
prosper for time, but he will lose the
respect OF his neighbors and friends
ana sometimes cen that of his own
household. The dishonest farmer is
trusted by nobody, and everybody will
soon learn of his tricky ways. and even
If he should feel like doing the square
thing at any time, he will be watched.
Get good name and keep 1t. 1t is
worth everything to Barnum's
Midland Farmer.

eldest son and second child Of King Vic

1914, and came to the throne on Jan. 10,
1878. The mother Of Humbert was the
Archduchess Adelaide of Austria.
When the house Of Savoy Carignan
came into power in 1881, on the failure of
the older branch, the house of Savoy. and
Charles Albert became King of Sardinia,
his realm included the principality of
Piedmont with the territory of Genoa and
the hereditary Duchy of Savoy, besides
the Island Of Sardinia. ia 1919 Charles
Albert abdicated the throne after the de-
feat of Novara, leaving his crown to his
son, Victor Emmanuel. The latter was
enabled, by the remarkable political and
military events of 1859 to 1870. to annex
to his dominions all the other parts of
Italy. He was proclaimed King of Italy
in March, 1861, by vote Of the Italian
Parliament at Turin
On the accession of Humbcrt to the
