,,o.srcs and blletaclyets who accompanied the

3oin the American gunboat Machias.
Mr. skinner and the other members Of the
marty are IN good health. and they speak en-
Enthusiastically Of the reception accorded them
BY King Menelik. On the way to the coast the
marty saw one elephant and heard a number OF
lions. but had exciting adventures. In the
course Of al Interview. Mr.. Skinner said;
President Roosevelt selected most opportune
time for establishing relations with Ethiopia as
Americans heretofore have been too indifferent
10 the remarkable development which Is now
going on in Abyssinia. Our cotton cloths pass
through many hands before being sold at high
prices Ia Abyssinia. but now Americans have op-
po-tunities 20 conduct their own trade hlns
Nenelik Will send some OF the products OF MS
country 70 the ST. Louis Exposition as wen as
q commission. composed Of able men, TO show
the Americans commercial opportunities IN
Abyssinia. The King is a bToadminded states
man, who win welcome Americans.
when King Menelik received the members
OF the commission he was surrounded by an I'm
posing assemblage OF two thousand men The
escort OF American marines established camp
called Camp Roosevelt which attracted great
| deal OF interest. The King made a three hours
inspection Of the camp. and, after having seen
the unanouvres Of the marines. he asked one or
the men for his gun md loaded and fred IT,
Ny Skinner srys further that the country
Is being rapidly nlo6erniZed and that new roads,
bridges water supplies. telephones and tele-
graph lines are being constructed. He considers
the Abytslnians 10 be the japanese OF Africa.
He points out, however. that the postal and
banking systems are defective and unsatisfac-
tory. The money Is on a silver basis MI skin
ner believes that Americans viii find large field
for activity IN the gold. coal petroleum ana
asphalt possibilities OF Abyssinia.
An official report OF the result OF the mission
has been forwarded TO Washington.

The method of work is simple.
The teacher brings his class to
the dentist, who examines each

card each child has brought
whether treatment is necessary.
If so, the child must come again

that Nashville, a city of over

Providence has been exceed

the country roads in pretty fair
condition; but the time draweth
nigh when the rains will decend
and the freezes come, and they
will bring with them the annual

This howl of lamentation will
continue loud and long until a

again sends the summer suns to
dry up the mud holes. Peace
