ANOTHER LIE NAILED.
knights of Fidelity News Has Not
Been Sold for Political Purposes.

The Indianapolis News has charged that
the Knights of Fidelity News, the organ
of the Knights Of Fidelity, had been sold
to Albert Lieber for three weeks only and
that it would hereafter support Mayor
Bookwalter and the remainder of the Re
publican ticket. The charge is denied by
a committee representing the knights of
Fidelity and by Mrs. Wilson, the owner
of the Knights of Fidelity News.
"A meeting of the knights of Fidelity was
held yesterday and committee consist
ing of Fred Lehr, John Connors, John
Bamfuhrer and Henry Rankin, commander,
was named to call on Mrs. Wilson and as
certain IL the story in the Indianapolis
News, that her paper had been sold to
a bert Lieber for political purposes, was
true The committee reports that Mrs. Will
son denied the story in every detail and
declared that her paper would be con-
Quoted in the future as in the past and
that it's columns would not be used for

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR.
An Evening with japanese Missions
Nal. iv, =, 3.

NAL. Nv, =, 3.
Some glimpses of Christian Endeavor among
the natives of Japan will best serve to bring
this subject close home
There are splendid Endeavor societies in the
wonderful orphan asylums carried on at Kkaya-
by Ishii, the George Muller OF Japan. These
orphan Endeavors agreed together to do at least
one kind act week that should be reported to
the society as a mutual stimulus. One for in
stance, kept jinrickisha chair from overturn-
ing Three little girls met party of besotted
drunken women on the street, and ventured
modestly to speak to them. Look at usr' they
exclaimed. 1T sake-drinking made US
orphans" The women were moved to tears.
threw away their liquor and gave the girls
twenty yen as a thank offering.
Most Japanese Endeavor societies have evan
gelistic committees. Indeed, it would not occur
10 a Japanese Christian that he was not ex-
pected to bear witness to his Redeemer
Perhaps this willingness to express their re-
ligion, together with the artistic temperament
OF the race, has resulted in making Japan in a
literal sense at least. the banner country for
Christian Endeavor, for nearly every society
in their vigorous Endeavor conventions will
carry a banner, charmingly made of native silk
embroidered, or of painted mating
Many noble deeds are recorded OF these Japa-
nese Endeavorers. Some Yokohama Endeayor-
eIS, lOr puDlSuSu Il temperance paper,
distributing the copies in the saloons. During
the war between Japan and China the Japanese
Endeavorers most active in caring for the
wounded and sick in the hospitals and else
where. They also cared for the refugees from
China after the Boxer massacres. nearly 200 OF
these being entertained by the EnGeavorers OF
Kobe. One society offered prizes amounting 10
thirty yen for the best tract Christianity.
One society holds evangelstic meetings in an
orphans home. One society is established among
the employees of the government postal teIe-
graph Office at Sendai. One gunboat of the royal
navy sailed away with thirteen Endeavorers and
came back six months later with thirty.
Are not such young people these worth
sending the Gospel TO? Is not the money the
church contributes for japanese missions a good
investment? Often these japanese Christians
put us to shame by their simple earnestness and
courageous endeavors
One most interesting Christian Endeavor work
In japan is American and not Japanese-the

There were 4,462 postoffices discontinued during the last fs- cal year, being 4O3 more than during the proceeding year. The principal cause for the large in- crease in the number of post offices discontinued has been the extension of the rural free deliv- cry service, which resulted in the discontinuance of 2,163 post offices during the year, the salar- ies of postmasters of said offices aggregating $l21,332.
