REBELS LED BY AMERICAN.

Letters received in Atlanta from Roy s. Anderson, son of Dr David l.. Anderson, the well known Methodist missionary to China, who now holds the chair of English in Soochow uni versity, Soochow, China, ,--4ates that great uneasniess is felt over the recent Boxer disturbances in the province of Kwangsi, where the rebels are being led by Sun Vun, a Cinaman who was educated in America. holding an M. D. degree from an American college. MT Anderson writes:
 we are all in a stir out here in the orient over the war and the recent dis turbances in the province of Kwangsi. The Chinese in that province have re- belled against the government, and the government troops have surrend- cred right along voluntarily 1t goes in China. Here is a Chinese proverb: T am soldier when am soldier and I am a robber when am not a soldier This is the literal transla- ton which. of course, seems crude, yet you can tell what ann driving at.

MoNGoosE SAVED MANS LIFE

Remarkable Story from India of Little
 Animals Fight With Cobra.
 One sultry afternoon a gentleman who was staying in India was lying in a hammock swung on the veranda of his bungalow. He was whiling away the time eating fruit and biscuits. when all at once he sawa little sharp nosed, bright eyed creature all covered with smooth fur and looking something like bandicoot rat and something like squirrel, come creeping slyly along the floor He threw it a bit of banana, which at first startled it, and it acted as though it was going to run; but pretty soon 1t seemed to think bet ter of 1t, and turned back and snapped up the morsel. The gentleman grew interested and gave 1t some biscuit crumbs, which it ate, by degrees be- coming more familiar and inclined to make friends. Just then some one ap- preached and the creature ran away.
 Then the gentleman was taken very Ill with fever, and one day when he was just beginning to recover he sent his servant away and composed him. self to take nap. Just as he was about to doze off into dreamland he saw a horrible sight. Describing it, he says:
 Creeping into the room from the yeranda, coil after coil, was a huge hooded cobra, the deadliest snake in all India, more than seven feet bong, and as thick as mans arm. For moment Ibwas fairly dumb with hor, ro&, and then, although knew it was no use, instinctively called for help, but my voice was so weak that it couldn't even have been heard in the next room.
 'fOn came the snake. rearing up it's horrid spotted hood angrily and blow ing out its head, as 1t does when it means mischief. It had already got to the foot of the bed, sapd was just preparing to crawl up, wien heard a skirr of tiny feet across the floor, and saw my squirrelrat friend, little Tommy. The brave little fellow never hesitated for a moment. but went right at the cobra like tiger, and gave it bite that drew blood like the cut of knife"
 The upshot of the matter was, Tom my and the snake fought a duel, and upon it's victory depended the life of the sick man. Again and again the rat squirrel attacked the reptile, biting and biting, and always escaping the enemy's blows, until at last the rat squirrel actually bit off the snakes head. But just as this happened, the snake in it's foppings knocked some glass off table and the attendants in the house, hearing the crash, rushed in.
 As it turned out, the little rat-squir- rel was mongoose. These creatures are the greatest serpent killers in the world. Thus this gentleman, by mak- ing a pet of the little mongoose, had found a friend that actually saved his life.-Pearsons Weekly.

SNEAKERS.
The Man New to the Woods Discovers
 Their Usefulness and Comfort.

The Man New to the Woods Discovers
 Their Usefulness and Comfort.
 "Sneakers." said the man back want, sneakers.
 Not that everybody has them We found plenty of people walking the trails in leather shoes, and, as mat ter of fact, that's what I would have done myself if my friend, who knew a heap more about such things than, did, hadn't warned me to get sneakers. You want the sneakers big enough, but not too long; no long end sticking out in front of your toes to catch in things as you walk. The soles of leather shoes soon wear smooth in the woods. and if the trails are dry you slip on leaves and pine needles and twigs and roots, and your hard heels, of course, don't give you any foothold whatever. but sneakers. with their flexible rubber soles extending the whole length of the foot, and their equally flexible cloth tops, permit the foot the freest play, and permit 1t to settle and grip on whatever you step.
 "And with sneakers you can, so to speak, wrap your feet around the logs you have to walk in crossing brooks and marshy spots, and there's nothing like them for climbing and walking down hills, and so sneakers are the thing for comfort and safety. Of course this is all old to people accus- toned to them, but, as I said, we found plenty of people walking the trails in leather shoes, not yet knowing the comfort and usefulness of sneak CTS. My friend tells me that there's sort of moccasin that is better for walking than sneakers, and that may be but sneakers satisfy me as far as I've got, and next year when go to the woods take along sneakers, and take two pairs. The soles of them may tear loose, and you want a pair in reserve and one or two extra pairs of laces. ta3aas efizg atttEtgs
 Take off your suspenders, if you wear them. and put on belt, and give your body freedom that will be as- tonishingly delightful if you have new CT experienced 1t, and put sneakers on your feet; and then you can walk the wood trails not only with safety but with Joy unlimited and unrestrained."

TOGO A JUDGE OF MEN.
The Admiral Rarely Makes Mistakes
 in His Choice of Men

The Admiral Rarely Makes Mistakes
 in His Choice of Men
 The world knows Admiral Togo as man of the sword pure and simple The world, as often, is mistaken He is something greater than a fighter; as a judge of men he ranks much high CT than as a soldier. His men never cease to marvel at the ease with which he accomplishes the most difficult tasks of commander, and at the rarity of mistakes that he makes in the choice of sllbordinates. There is a saying among the men of the Nippon navy that runs something like this:
 t'There is only one commander who uses his subordfnates like his own fingers and the name of that man is Admiral Togo"
 The old time ideal of the Samurai was the welding of the soldier and the scholar in one; and Admiral Togo is not false to the ideal; he is student as we'll as a fighter.
 A ttI ann no scholar he is reported to have said. From early youth, how ever, my masters have compelled me to examine and follow carefully the teachings of the school of Yomei It seems to me that soldier can derive
 
 of Yomei'
 The Admiral is certainly not the first or the only soldier of Nippon who has acknowledged shis debt to the teachings of the Chinese philosopher whom our people know under the name of Yomei. The school of Yomei em- phasizes a perfect boise of the soul. The students of Yomei value more than anything else the quiet balance of nerve. the equilibrium which can not be disturbed by little thing like a bursting shell within a few feet of a man or sword gleam few inches before the eyes. The first lesson that a master of sword or a master of jiu- jitsu tries to instill into the mind of Samura1 youth is the importance of attaining coolness of nerve and per feet boise of the soul. In the eyes of the Nippon fighting men these quail ties are much more important than the clever handling of sword or gun From the Century.

sleep. Towards morning Eaton be-
came suddenly ILL., Judge Gordon rose
to see if he could render any assist
ance. In the darkness he CROPPED his
way along the mountain side. Sud
denly a monster rattler sounded his
danger signal close by. Judge Gordon
leaped down the hill and finally
brought up against the barbed wire
fence, which he did not know stood

tangled in the wires that he could not
