The Early Doa Gets the Drink.

."The little copper drinking foun.
tains for dogs, put on the street cor
ners at the bottom of lampposts," said
the man who stands all day at Fifty
ninth street and Lexington avenue
handing out transfer tickets, would
be fine thing if the dogs got chance
at them. They are attractive in ap-
pearacne, and ere all right until freez-
ing time. They are too shallow for
winter weather. The dog fountains
are filled every morning by men from
the Humane Society, and it Is the
early dog that gets the drink. AS soon
as the car rush begins, goodby doggle.
"This fountain has been here just
one week. In that time have seen a
man waiting for crosstown car spoil
the dogs chance with mouthtul OF
tobacco Juice; then kids and young
men I'LL 'em up with cigarettes; seen
women and girls throw orange peel
and apple cores into them; matches
are thrown into them by the dozen.
Before noon that dog fountain looks
like a small swill-pail. Dogs prefer the
leakings of fire hydrant on the op-
posite corner. 80,
"In summer the dog fountains Will
be a blessing, but the people Will have
to be taught that they are for the use
of dogs, not hogs. New York Press.

No Lawyers in China.

To prove the laws of China In re-
gard to marriage was found by Mrs.
Low Shee's attorneys to be more
difficult task than they at first sup
posed, but they finally succeeded yes
terday, when they put Chung Pao Shi,
the acting consul-general. on the wit
ness stand in Judge Cotey's court.
Low Shee, who resides in China, is
claiming the estate left by Chew Bing
Quota, merchant of Chinatown, and
the opposing claimant is Lum Quota,
a woman who lived with Chew Bing
Quota for yearshere. 1t is alleged that
Low Shee was legally married to Chew
Bing Quota in China and that Lum
Quota for years here. 1t is alleged that
bine. Vice-Consul Ouyan King inter-
preted the Consul's testimony. NO
regular Chinese Interpreter in the city
spoke the Consuls dialect, it was
stated, and so the vice-consul was
called.
Judge Coffey smiled when Informed
by the consul that there were no at
torneys at law practising in China, and
that lawyers were not wanted in the
courts there, the judges doing all the
questioning to ascertain the facts.
The consul stated that he was, &C.
uuainted with the laws Of the Chinese
empire and had read the Chinese law
relative to marriage. He identified
Chinese books which we're produced in
court as copies Of the laws of the enar
pire. He said that an. essential fea'
ture Of every marriage in China was

We shall be abe to feel the personal
meaning of all this when we stop to name
over some of the traits w..lca mark the
changed life. It is life of faith-ef quiet
confidence in God There is no idlencss
nor lazy trusting that things Will come
out right by some mysterious method. It
is the life of belief that we are in Fa-
theirs world, making our way to Fa-
theirs house. That faith stands over
against the doubt and fear and anxiety of
the unchanged lie. And because it is
faith in God it accomp.ishes falthful1ess
; to men and our duties And this is what
the world sees. It cannot see faith in God.
It can see only the faithfulness In the lite
unreliability. at whatever stage it appears,
unfaithfu,ness prevents an argument for
Christ.
This is the argument of the. changed
life. And = canno: mistake that it is
such argument which Christ Himself most
prizes and which the world most needs
needs not in these larg>r ways and places
a,ooe. there so much as in the men with
whom it must deal most closely. My
brcthern, it is the argument of UT own
changed, Christianized lives that IS most
needed. The books are stronG-and un-
read. The uncommon. marked eases arc
many-and unobserved. bur lives are
daily before our fellows, closely read, con-
stantly observed. These are the worlds
arguments. And what is sought is not
some impossible perfection. Many of our
fellows are not unreasonable. No, but
there is wanted an alignment between our
professions and our actions that shall indi-
cate that something higher and better has
actually taken hold OF us. We claim to be

THE METHODIST DISCIPLINE.

Whatever may be thought of dancing,
card-playing and tlleater-going. the
position of the Methodist church, as
pointed out in these columns by the
Rev. G. L. Pearson, is the only one
which an evangelical religious body can
take and preserve its consistency or
its power for good. A church is not
organized as a social body. 1t is
protest against worldliness; an agency
for preparing the souls of men for
something better than the world aft
fords; and as such it cannot divide
with the world the allegiance of its fol-
lowers. IN proportion that any Prot
estant Church does that it loses
ground; IN proportion as it exalts the
spiritual side of its work it commands
attention and respect
AS a secular journal the Advertiser
does not object to a moderate and
judicious pursuit of social pleasures.
Dancing was once done before the
Lord and properly regulated it is as
innocent as golf. AS between game
with painted cards and one with paint
ed checkers we perceive no moral diff
ference. Furthermore we believe that
good plays are as desirable as good
books and, in the majority of cities, as
accessible. But this is a view from
the STANDPOINT of society: and the Adj
vertiser would have small respect for
church which halted in it's great work
of evangelization to adopt it. The
church must stick to its business: and
that business is far removed from the
amusement and recreation of man.

pRoGREss OF THE WAR.

Takushan, where more japanese
troops are landing, is on the Liaotong
coast about 80 miles northeast Of Pitz-
ze-wo. the scene of the first landing
of the second army. Evidently these
forces constitute the second division
of an army corps and are intended
either to cooperate in the siege Of
Port Arthur or to hold an intermadi-
ate position between the Yalu and
Liaotong armies.
It is not clear what Is happening
on the route of the Yalu army The
Japanese retreat from Fengwengcheng
is confirmed from Newchwang but
there is no support for the earlier
runor that the invaders lost a battle
there. The retreat may be tactical
move due to the dangerous extension
OF the Japanese line; or it may be
that the Russians are beginning to
appear in overwhelming numbers and
that the Japanese commander feels it
advisable to get on better lighting
ground than Fenwengcheng affords.
