is marriage law, but it is only for
the protection of male inhabitants.
A southern Chinese woman, once
married to a man, can never desert
him. A man may have as many wives

when say that Maj. Gen. S. B. M.
Young will be the next lieutenant
general Of the army" said Maj. Gen.
Corbin. Then he said: "And his pro-
motion will be enjoyed by no one
more than by myself"
Lieut.. Gen. Miles will retire for age
next August, and this declaration
by Gen. Corbin was inspired to some
comment to the effect that the ap-
pearance of his (Gen. Corbin's) name
in the monthly army list next after
that of Gen. Miles pointed out the
probable succession. AS fact, 1t is
stated that the order Of the names
in the list was fixed by the seniority
of the commissions of the officers.
Gen. Young would have about year
to serve in that grade If he is made
acknowledgement.

"Oh," exclaimed another, Lord Kelvin be

Anyhow he never passed anything without
making calculation about it. This time it
was ladder standing against a wall at an
angle which according TO all known laws
ought to be impossible, especially as it stood
on smooth concrete at the bottom. He
called his brothers attention. They both
got down, took measurements, made endless
calculations, and considered various theo-
ries to account for the absence of slip. At
last they fixed on some far-fetched explana-
ton just as the farmer hove in sight. Then.
they casually called bis attention to the
strange circumstance. oh, ay,' says the old
man, the ladder? Yes, put il there for my

PERFORMED HEROIC ACT.
Young Nebraska Farmer Saved Two Lives
by Throwing Mad Bull That
Attacked Him.

Fremont, Neb., Oct. 29.-Frank Ueh-
ling, son of Louis Uehling, a we'll
known farmer residing in Logan
township, has equaled the feat per-
formed by Ursus in "Quo Vadis," and
in doing so saved the lives of his
sweetheart and himself. Young Ueh-
ling and his fiancee were crossing a
pasture when they came upon a bull
in the path. Uehling drove the bull
along ahead for a short distance,
when the animal suddenly turned and
charged upon the couple. Uehling had
no weapon, and there was no time
to run. He grasped the bull by the
horns, and an exciting struggle took
place. The screams of the girl
brought two men running from the
road, and when they arrived they
found that Uehling had succeeded in
throwing the bull, and wasssitting on
the neck of the PROSTATE animal,
awaiting their arrival.

CONFERENCE CALLED
All Christians in United States
Asked to Join In Liquor Crusade.
Request That National Convention Re
Held IN Washington City In 1905 to Be
Attended by Delegates from All
D0nominn tions

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. 2s.-The five
days meeting of the Society Of
Friends, at their closing session, is
sued the following call to all the
Christian churches of the United
States: 1--WE are confident in the be-
lief that the consensus of opinion of
the protesting Christians of our land
10 opposed to the evils of liquor traf-
&c, and we find want of co-opera-
ton in practical effort to give effect
to this opposition because none Of
the propositions heretofore made has
met the approval of the general judg-
ment of Christian people. AS re-
suit, the church exerts far less influ-
ence than it should to prevent the
evils produced by this great cause
of poverty and crime and which, also,
is most serious obstacle to the
spread of the gospel. We therefore
invite the governing bodies of the
various denominations Of Christians
in the United States to appoint dele
gates to represent them in confer
ence to be held in the city Of WASH
ington, to begin on the second
Wednesday of March, 1906. The de-
cisions Of this conference should be
reached only in practical unanimity
and therefore it is unnecessary to in
dictate any limit to the proposed rep
reservations"
