Painted.

Those who know him well do not
hesitate to assert that he has been
harshly judged by the majority OF the

who appreciates the responsibilities OF
his position. His kindness to children
is proverbial and everyone knows how
fond he Is OF all animals. He is also
kind to his servants, and to all de-

Al the meeting OF the Ladies Mis-
sionary society of the Presbyterian
church. held yesterday at Mrs. w. d.
Deckers, Miss Rose Palmer, who has
lately returned from China, gave those
present an insight into some of the
narrowing experiences through which
the party of which she was member
were called upon to endure during their
Journey coast-ward, lasting about forty
days.
During many of these long and weary
days they were jolted over the country
in springless, covered carts, without
any opportunity OF observing what
might be transpiring around them. This
means of transportation was furnished
by the Chinese government at the earn
est behest of the missionaries, who
contended that they were leaving in
pursuance Of their order and that con-
veyances must be furnished.
AT the beginning of the journey they
were furnished with a guard of Chi
nese soldiers. but in u very short time
they deserted and Joined the Boxers.
The party was made up of two men
and twelve women and children, Mr. +.
&. Fl. Dreyer of Dunmore being the
active head of the party, representing
them In many conferences with the
Boxer element as they made their way
through the hostile country.
Four carts were used in conveying
them and their luggage, the latter
being very much lessened as the jour
ney progressed. Each new band that
they chanced to meet made it theii
especial business to sort over all theif
possessions and help themselves to
whatever they wished.
In some cases even the clothes they
wore were demanded and, OF course
handed over as pleasantly as circum-
stances would permit. The latter enc
of the journey was made in a vehicle
