In the room of the senate committee
on the District of Columbia there is
strange book that is much priced by
Mr.. Charles Moore, the clerk 1t doesn't
look like book at first glance, but like
box some two feet long and three or
four inches square. Hamilton King.
the American minister and consul gen
eral in Siam, found the book, which
was written fully 100 years ago in the
CambOdian, or sacred language of the
country, and forwarded it to Mr.. Moore
as 4 token of esteem.
The gift is the Iibretto of play and
the copy that was written for a prince.
The very thick and durable paper is
folded in plaits of full width, and the
writing is on both sides, so that when
One-half of the play is read it is only
necessary to reverse the volume to
read the remainder in succession OF
pages. The broad margins of the OPEN

Saved Each Other.

A short time ago guard on one of
the Northern expresses while at a
big station in the midlands had
been talking to the engine driver.
Presently he stepped aside and gave
his ''Right away!" when a gentleman
who was late sprang on to the foot
board while the train was in motion
and tried to obtain admission to one
of the compartments.
AS the carriage came along the
guard siezed him by the coat and pull
ed him off, remarking that he must
think himself lucky for he had practi-
cally saved his life.
AS this conversation was going on
the guards van came by, and the
guard, with that gracefulness acquired
by constant practice, sailed majestic
ally on to mis- van.
The gentleman, who had taken in
the situation, thereupon seized him by
the coat and pulled him off, saying as
the train sped away:
lone good turn deserves another.
You saved my life; I have saved
yours. Now we are quits. ''-London

Getting the Most outofLife.

There are many dirty roads in life, but if
you use your judgment you will always be
able to find clean crossing. NAsMYTH.
Many people seem to think that life
is great grab bag into which they
should thrust their hands and take
out as much as possible, without put
ting in anything. There could be no
greater mistake, for we shall find that
we get out of life just what we put in
to it. If we put in misspent hours,
wasted opportunities, slipshod work,
botched material, we shall be paid in
kind. No matter what we give the
world, it pays us back in our own
coin. If we give it of our best, good,
honest, faithful work, however hum
BILE it may be,-we shall receive our
just reward, But, if we try to grasp
all the good things and give nothing
in return, we will be compelled to
swallow some very bitter potions.
We shall find, when too late, that we
have squeezed our orange dry, and
that nothing but the rind is left

READ HIS NEWSPAPERS.

George Schaub, a well known German It'll
zen of New Lebanon, Ohio, is a constant
reader of theDayton VoLkzeitung. He knows
that this paper aims to advertise only the
best in its columns, and when he saw Cham
berlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for
lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a
bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks
had suffered with the most terrible pains in
her back and could get relief. He says:
after using the Pain Balm for few DAYS
my wife said to me, Il feel as though born
anew, and before using the entire contents OF
the bottle the unbearable pains had entirely
vanished and she could again take up her
household duties.'' He is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of
her wonderful recovery. This valuable lini-
ment is for sale by Fl G Pierce Barton, II s

Look for the Beautiful.

Nothing so hardens character, so
demoralizes manhood and woman
hood, and SO utterly precludes the
possibility of upward growth as the
deadening habit of fault finding, of
criticising. AS rule we find what we
seek. If we look for light and beauty,
if we try to find something to ad
mire and praise in others, we shall
find it. If on the other hand, like the
hog we root in the mire, seek some
thing filthy, if we keep constantly on
the watch for the faults, the unlovely
qualities in others, we shall find what
we seek. But we must remember
that whatever we are looking for
whatever we are striving to find, will
color and influence our characters; in
other words we shall become like
what we strive and yearn for. So, if
we wish to become beautiful and
strong, in mind and body, we must
seek symmetry, beauty, nobility,-all
that is vigorous and elevating, con-
tinually, in nature and humanity

A RIDE IN A BASKET.

Describing in the Century ga
little known Country of ASIA" Mrs.
Lockwood de Forest tells how she
rode one night in basket in Nepaul.
1 was trying to think that l could
walk the whole way, although had
reached my limit in the NOR ming,
when a coolie suggested that he could
carry me in basket. 1t was shaped
like V, and he filed it with old, very
dirty bags, which 1 was careful not to
examine and my blanket was put on
top. 1t did not look very comfortable
orvery safe, but there was no time
to object to inconvenience, so we
started off at half-past four. The
path wound around the side of
mountain, the river fifty feet below.
The trees were high, covered with
vines, making such a dense thicket
that a stone thrown could hardly have
reached the ground. This was the
celebrated Terai, full of elephants,
tigers, rhinoceroses, snakes and fever.
The road was so broken that in many
places it was merely crumbling ledge.
l at last mounted my basket. The
coolie carried it on the crown Of his
head, steadied by strap passed
around the basket and across his fore
head. He walked with his head bent
down as if he were going to butt into
some one. was perched on top of
the basket bent double, with nothing
to hold on to, and my feet dangling.
I could not see where he was going,
whether the next step would be up
steep rock, or sliding through Shiny
mud to the bed of the river. l was
usually wabbling on the edge of the
precipice. The moonlight could not
reach us; we were shut in by thicket
of vines, and seemed to be in a long,
narrow cave lighted by great firef1ies,
which shone like the eyes of wild
beasts, reminding US that we had been
told not to take this march by night.
1t became bitterly cold, and when [
was so stiff that feared falling off the
basket, [ was let down; vigorous
kick was the only signal that seemed
to be understood. Our Iunch-basket
coolie had gone astray, and we were
so cold and hungry that we longed to
join the groups of coolies encamped
for the night, sitting about big fire,
with their great bales of cotton goods
piled up in a circle around them. I
wondered why my coolie did not make
off, for he must have disliked it as
much as did, and yet he was always
ready to have me mount again.
At midnight we reached a rest
house, but it was very dirty, and SO
full of animals and men that there
was hardly room for US to sit, even
on the cold stone steps. At last when
we were quite desperate, the lunch
basket appeared. We warmed a can
of soup, and the welcome news arrived
that doolies chairs on poles) had
come for US. There were six men to
each dooly, who pushed and pulled
us straight up mountain, over path,
if there was one, covered with loose
rolling stones. We reached the bun
galow at two o'clock.

A MISSIONARIES PERIL.

paper entitled ga Missionary Journey
Fanny Corbett Hays relates an Incl
dent of her chlldbood:
1t is a terrible experience to fall
into the hands of Chinese mob. In
offensive, good natured men are
reused to frenzy by evil insinuations
against foreigners, and, intoxicated
with excitement, are capable of most
fiendish atrocities.
AS child of eight, was taken by
my father, an American missionary,
into the interior of Shan tung, to the
district now occupied by the Germans.
MY mother had died a few months
before, and my father, anxious to
pursue promising work IN the interior,
took his three children COT whom [
was the eldest) and a faithful Chinese
nurse to a town four days journey
from Chit In this place he intend
ed to spend the winter. To make the
small mud walled hut more comfort
able for US, he covered the damp
earthen floor with boards.
This was instantly resented by the
suspicious Chinese. "Why should a
man place boards over his floor unless
there was something underneath
which he wished to conceal?' The
old story that the missionary had kid
mapped and murdered Chinese chill
dren was again widely circulated. 1t
was asserted that he had made mi
raculous medicine of their hearts and
eyes, with which he could bewitch the
Chinese into believing his new relig-
ion. The children's dead bodies must
therefore be concealed beneath that
carefully laid wooden floor.
The increasing hostility was observ-
ed with great anxiety, and after being
twice stoned in the market place, my
father concluded TO fee to the county
seat, twelve miles distant, where he
could claim protection as an American
citizen. We started at midnight. 1t
was impossible to procure animals to
convey US; SO few native Christians
took their lives in their hands and
carried the little children OH their
backs over the dangerous road to
partial safety [ remember distinctly
our stealthy creeping through hostile
villages, afraid that at any moment
the barking dogs might bring our en-
emies upon US. and our crOuching in
the early dawn beneath the shelter Of
a clay bank, while a distant wheel
barrow creaked slowly out of hearing
We managed to reach our destina-
ton in safety, and remained for few
hours in an obscure inn in the suburbs.
With great difficulty a cart and two
wretched animals were procured, and
at the end of a weeks travel over
misera BILE roads we were at hOm @
again. A slight realization of the
danger we had escaped came into my
childish mind when We were nat out
side the city wall by the foreign resi-
dents and native Christians Of Chi fu,

for our deliv

From a Former Resident of
This County in Oklahoma.
NEwK1RK, o. T., Mch 25, 'O1.
ADVANCE:
wish to let my friends of Mobiles
county know what we think of our
new home. 7 will write few lines and
ask space in your columns for publ
cation.>
We left Minnesota on the 3Oth day
of December, if you remember, in
quite blizzard and arrived at New
kirk on the 1st day of January. By
the way we shovld have got through
on the 31st day of December but we
did not make connections at Council
Bluffs, owing to the storm of the 3Oth
and the iron horse became somewhat
disabled. It was very cold and the
snow was flying thick and fast when
we arrived at Council Bluffs, but we
managed to get to the union depot
about one o'clock the morning of the
31st and had to wait until $50 p. m.
to get train for Kansas City and
then waited S hours for our train for
Newkirk, and we did not leave the
snow until within 100 miles of New
kirk. Our cars of movables beat us
through, so much for the Omaha.
Will say if anyone is coming here
with car ought to see Agent Morri-
son and get a car of him.
Now about the strip, as it is cold
here we have enjoyed very nice wealth.
er nearly all the time We have been
here. We had ono sleet and rain
shortly after we arrived and have had
three nice rains since and our wheat
is looking very fine and promising for
a good crop. Our cattle and horses
have run on the wheat all the time
since it was sown last fall and are in
good condition. Some have taken
their stock of Of the wheat and others
will pasture ten days longer. So you
see we need very little feed for stock.
We have our oats all ,sowed and are
getting our corn ground ready to
plant. Some few have already plant
ed some. Most Of them raise wheat
here and I suppose will as long as il
does we'll, but will not raise 90 much
wheat and a little more corn and hogs
as We have about 10 acres Of creek
DO tom land on our place which is
more desirable for corn than the
- j $ =.

prairie land.

prairie land.
Kay county is mostly gently roll
ing as Mobiles county aud is general
ly good soil and we have a large
immigration to this country from
Iowa, Illinois and Ohio and a number
from Minnesota. When they get out
of the cold and billiards of colder
climates and get down here and SEE
stock out on the wheat fields, they
soon make up their minds that Kay
county is alright and nearly all that
come prepared, by chunk of land
which is raising fast in price. I
bought 320 acres for $500 and could
take 1000 or more any time for my
bargain but will say that if we still
like it as We do now we will stay.
Early peaches, plums and apricots
are all in bloom; now this promises to
be a great fruit country. We have
not bought one pound of coal since
we landed here, while some others do.
We are situated A miles from New
kirk, the county seat of Kay county,
and 81 miles from tho Arkansas river
and we cross the river and buy wood
of the Kaw Indians for from SO cents
to 81 per load, all we can haul, ana
sometimes when we go after wood and
don't find the Indians to pay for the
wood, We don't hunt for them long;
We simply got our loads and come
home as they have no right to cell
wood according to the law. r :
We have made just as nice yellow
butter from our wheat pasture as you
Minnesota people will next June from
grass and I have never seen q place
where chickens do 90 we'll and are 60
profitable al here. We bought 17s
hens on arrival at 20c each and have
nice lot Of eggs to take to market
every week all through the winter.
Joseph Joynson, Of MOBILES county,
an old friend Of mine, came down and
made Us and Louis Ipson, Of Kansas,
q visit and while here with me, be
bought q nice improved 100 acres and
lots Of fruit on fnr &E000 three rniloa
