All, yes, Americans! They, perhaps, can

China.

The news from and about China is again
very contradictory. From some sources
comes information that the Boxers are
active again and threatening all foreigners:
that life in the interior Is unsafe, and that
we need not be surprised to hear any day
of another uprising and slaughter. From
other sources comes different story alto
gether Everything, we are assured. is
moving along smoothly; the lesson taught
by the allied powers has sunk deep into the
hearts OF the people, and they are likely to
be good for years to come. You pays your
money and you takes your choice. But
whatever the Boxers may be doing or
threatening. the missionaries are again
active. and that Is a safe sign that condi-
lions are greatly improved over those Of a
year or two ago. The Boxer may now and
then be mere buffer.

Spring Song.

Once again the spring so merry
Comes to vivify the scene,
And our grievances we bury.
We are happy and serene.
In the breeze the leaflets wriggle
And the skies are free from gloom,
And the girls begin to gggle
And the flowers begin to bloom.
Like the sunbeams all a-glltter
They come trooping down the street,
And the birds that hush their twitter
Cannot carol half so sweet.
Though they elbow you and jiggle,
You rejoice to give them room.
When the girls begin to giggle
And the flowers begin to bloom.

So A JUNE IDLER J

The boy in the hammock threw his
book in a nearby chair. The girl who
was sitting on the steps pulling daisies
to pieces looked up at him shyly and
sWeetly.
Baby, dear" the boy said gazing
down at her, While he stretched his
arms above his head and yawned laz-
lily. I'm afraid l love you"
The girl made grimace. Non

though you are much too lazy to ap-
preciate it." He caught a pillow she
raised herself from the steps to throw
at him. Billy was SO lazy and the golf
links We're never so inviting. Billy
looked her over out of the corner of
his eye bit doubtfully. Then he
raised himself on his elbow Still no
answering look.
He started suddenly. Round the cor
ner of the piazza a much disheveled
head was poked, following it a slouchy
figure. Dan Bowditch was a born COM
edian. THE duet" as he had dubbed
them, were his constant prey He
plants himself, back to a post, where
he faces them. Billy forthwith gives
up all thought of loVemaking and

sighed. Slowly he drew forth from his
pocket little roll of banknotes. They
looked disguised. 81 almost made up
nay mind to play tragedy with the help

Then his face changed. Janice, who
was watching him, drew quick
breath of hope and fear mixed. She

will be establishing an unenviable rep

Janice bit disturbed.

Billy with wink as he sauntered
away.
For several moments Janice pulled
blades of grass and Billy rocked gently.
Then Janice looked up slowly, the puz-
zle in her eyes growing.
"Well, what is it, Jan? Do need
shave, or is there bug on me, or do
you want a kisS?" Janice shook her
head. Clearly something allied his girl.
Now there was Grace Fernald turning
in her gate and Jan watching her as
though she, too, were something new.
