Advice to Young Men.

The American Economist, the Repub-
lican organ Of protection, IS running q
serial story, "Why First Voters Should
BE Protectionists;" but, although some
weeks and many pages have been occu-
pied, no reason has been given that
would convince a child. much less a
young man just arrived at manhood.
The whole burden of the song is that
protection brings prosperity and that
Democratic victory will bring adver-
sity. No attempt is made to give rea-
son for the present business depression
under the stimulus of the highest pro-
tective tariff ever known. The failures
of banks and the closing of furnaces and
factories, With notice given of more to
follow, are studously avoided The
''first voter is not advised how the tar
if has built up monopoly With high
trust prices and concentrated business
in few hands; that under this protec
tive system the young man has much
less opportunity of becoming his own
master. but must No content to work
for trust which pays him Just enough
to live upon and absolbs the rest. That
is the condition of first voters today,
but the Economist cannot or dare not
touch upon such a delicate subject.

MRS. RIJNHART TO SEARCH TN
Tibet FOR HER HUSBAND

There stood behind the pulpit of the
Christian church on Monday evening
a woman who has not only penetrated
farther into the almost unknown and
mysterious interior of Thibet than any
other living white person, but who has
suffered physical and mental torture
such as few women of culture and re-
finement have to meet. This woman
Mrs. Susie Carson Rijnhart-spoke TO
an interested audience in a modest
way of herself, and when she had con-
Guided there was hardly a dry eye In
the audience.
Mrs. Rijnhart arrived on the steamer
China, en- route to Thibet, the land in
the shadow of the giant Himalayas,
on one of the saddest of missions, that
of finding her husband, and visiting the
grave of her little boy when she bur-
led on the steep slopes of the snow
capped Dang-La mountain. Inciden-
| she will establish a medical and mis-
| sionary station in the interior of Thi-
| bet. She is, going out under the aus
| pices of the Foreign Christian Mis-
| sionary Society of Cincinnati, and is
practically supported by the Christian
| church of Springfield, Ill.
| By a curious coincidence the two per
sons whose names are most intimatel,
| connected with the exploration of Thi
| bet, were in Honolulu on the same da!
/ Mrs. Rijnhart arriving from SaI
| Francisco en- route to Thibet on the
i S. China, and Henry Savage Landor
| arriving from Thibet enroute to SaI
| Francisco on the S. S. Siberia. TIT
| two did not meet while here.
i Mrs. Rijnhart told her sad story il
j Rev. Mr. Muckleys church. She wa
unable to say whether her HUSBAND
was lost or whether living or dead. L
he lives she expects to find him. 1
dead she will at least know the trutl
and rid herself Of the suspense that ha
been hanging over her like a pail.

recently married in Hiram. o., DIR. and
Mrs. Rijnhart babe farewell to Ameri-l
ca and started on their mission to de-
clare the Gospel to the Thibetan coun-
try. They planned to go to the ex-
IRENE northwest frontier, with the
great Lamasery of Kumbum as their
objective point After six months
travel they reached Luscar. They re-
ceived a kindly welcome from the in
habitants who were glad to avail Them
selves Of the newcomers medical skill.
AT Luscar and at Tankar, the next
station opened by the Drs. Rijnhart, a
happy time was passed. despite the ter
rible Mohammedan uprising. A Chris
tian home was established in the lat
ter place. Here, also baby boy was
born.
1t was a spring day in 1898 when,
with the baby, Charley, who was then
a year old, they began their perilous
| journey. AS they fronted the Dang
La Mountains Charley, who had been
i'll for few days, died, and they buried
him.
They approached the Tsa Chu river,
which they hoped to ford and then find
the Lamasery, their objective point.
AS the pilgrims reached the ford they
were attacked by band of brigands.
The Rijnharts barely escaped with
their lives and sought refuge in some
cliffs.
Mrs. Rijnhart was exhausted, and
her husband, cautioning her to remain
in the spot until his return, set forth
alone to reconnoiter. She waited in
vain through the night, the next day,
the following night and still another
day. When her husband left her to
go in search of information the false
guides forced her to accompany them
and guided her into morass. Here
she drew revolver, and at its muz-
zle she compelled the men to lead hel
to a frontier town.
From the day of his disappearance
Mrs. Rijnhart has never seen or heard
of her husband, but lives in the hope
that he is still alive. After many
trials such as woman travelling alone
among strangers, in a foreign land
might encounter, Mrs. Susie Carson
Rijnhart reached the outer world and
returned to America.
