For Aid.

For Aid.
Touching appeals from Christian work
ers in the Far East have come to promi-
nent citizens Of the United States, implor-
ing aid for the sick and wounded soldiers
Of both armies and the multitude OF desti-
widows and orphans Of soldiers killed in
the war.
Rev. Y. Honda, principal OF the Aoya-
ma Theological School at Toxic, Japan, in
a recent letter says; How long this dis
tressing condition Of things will last we
cannot say. The people are dong their
best and every charitable agency is taxed
to the utmost but so numerous have the
impoverished families become THAT our
means Of immediate relief are utterly in
adequate Could some general fund be
raised for this noble purpose, and mis-
sionaries on the ground be furnished with
the means Of distributing and alternating
the distress of these families it would in
deed be precious gift and assure you
never be forgotten
We may not help beligerents, but we
may help the suffering and distressed
The Red Cross of Pity is neutral in every
cline, and the claims Of helpless children
are a challenge to Christian love and
benefcence the world over.
In response to the moving appeals thus
coming from Christian workers in Japan.
the Japanese Relief Fund has been or
ganized to obtain the help needed and all
funds contributed will be distributed
through the Evangelical Alliance of Japan
under the oversight of Bishop Harris, who
is now in that country.

A COONSkIN FARE.
II Would Have Paid the Traveller to
Let the Change Go.

II Would Have Paid the Traveller to
Let the Change Go.
Many years ago, as the story runs,
when coonSkins were worth six bits
apiece in Arkansas and q regular fee
of two bits was assessed for ferrying q
horseman across the St. Francis river,
there came along traveller whose en-
tire capital consisted of but a single
pelt, and the ferryman hadn't cent of
change in his pocket.
The traveller was bound to cross, but
refused to pay three times as much as
the man who passed before him or the
one who was to come next. The ferry
man would not wet an oar unless pay
ment for his services was assured.
Here was ample foundation for an ar
gument, and presumably the opportu-
nifty was not neglected. But satisfac-
tory arrangement was finally reached,
the traveller getting value received for
his coonskin by being waited thrice
across the stream. This of course
would leave him on the right side, and
h>i'hSA puANy w tiC u itu' ''tAN hu'C
cause for complaint. Such was the gen.
erous spirit of accommodation which
obtained in these earlier days, such
but hold on bit.
On the second trip the ferryman
CHANGED to inspect the coOnskin close
ly and found that it was by no means
up to the recognized standard. Maybe
1t had been killed too early in the sea-
son or was not properly stretched.
Anyway, he decided that four bits was
all it was worth, and the traveller
frankly admitted the soundness Of his
Judgment, acknowledged that he had
received its value in the double fer
riage und forthwith started on his fifty
mile ride up the river to the nesrest
point where 1t was fordabie-bield
and Stream.

BOILER ROLLED DOWN HILLSIDE

A big boiler. designed for the dredge
near Placerville, after being carefully
pulled up Lemp's hill near Shafer
creek Thursday by a 1O-horse team,
broke loose near the summit ana
crashed down the hillside through the
trees and underbrush for a distance
of 100 yards, says the Boise States
man. The boiler weighs $4,000
pounds and 1t is expected it will prove
a stupendous task to get it back to
the top of the hill and safely on the
road to Placerville. Just how the ac-
cident occurred is something of a
mystery. The outfit was in charge Of
| Thomas Stevens, an experienced
freighter, with an assistant, he having
contracted to haul the machinery
from the railroad to the scene where
it was to be put to use. The hill is a
bad one. and the men had toiled long
and hard to get the two wagons, upon
which the boiler was loaded, it being
too large for single wagon, to the
| top.
Just before It reached a point of
safety, however, the wagons upset,
and the huge boiler went crashing to
the bottom of the ravine below, drag
ging the wagons with it.

OSTEOPATHY.
AFTER EFFECTS OF COLDS.
proper style

How has this winters cold left
you? Have you some lingering all
ment dating from a hard cold or la
grippe of the past winter? Has your
doctor explained to you minutely
how this comes about? Has he told
you how stomach and bowel troubles,
heart disease, lung, kidney, liver dis
orders, catarrh, deafness or eye trou-
BILE comes from colds? All accept the
truth that throat and lung troubles
may come from colds, In fact, always
date 1t from a cold. But how many
have gone deep enough to tell why
it persists? Do SO, and you will
just as readily see how all the other
ills mentioned may come from the
same source. Briefly, here is the ex-
PLANTATION:
The cold contracts the muscles
along the spine and between the ribs.
These contractures may pinch the
nerves to the organs or they may
draw the bones from position and
the bones pinch the nerves. No or
gan acts without nerve supply,
hence the disease. Call on Drs. Hois-
ington and have these contractures
shown you. Contractures and dis
placements are not mysteries, you
can recognize them.

THE DESERT.

Here is the ancient kingdom of the
sun,
This barren, lowly waste of desert
land,
Which for his own long years ago he
won
And fierce guards with flaming
sword in hand,
Whose lightnings search the plain
remorselessly,
Till all therein is tuned to flames
bright key.
His floods of light effulgently enfold
The plain with airy scarves of
amethyst
The ruddy earth and sands of tawny
gold
Loom out like bands of flame
through lilac mist;
Bright islands in the all-pervading
flood,
The splintered porphyry rocks gleam
red as blood.
The rainbow-haloed umber moon at
night
Creeps in the upper desert shyly
past;
The stars, like myriad points of or
ange light.
| Peep through the purpose shadow
dim and vast;
And night and voiceless silence sit
and brood,
Twin regents of the unbroken soli-
tude.
Around this hermit kingdom thickly
The patient hills in bony ridges
stand,
With here and there a sentinel min
aret,
Its feet deep planted in the burning
sand, ..
Upon whose head, to whet his sub
jects' fears,
The braggart monarch rains his
shining spears.

CHILD SLAVERY IN CHICAGO

A system of virtual child slavery,
in which children under IA years Of
age are EARNED out" into Chicago
households in an attempt to solve the
Servant girl problem is a state Of
affairs that has been brought to the
attention of the department of COM
pulsory education, following startling
revelations in various justice courts
of Chicago in the last three weeks.
That such a system exists to an
alarming degree is the declaration OF
Superintendent w. L. Bodine, who
has secured the conviction of Mrs.
Ottilie Krosnick in Justice Prinde-
vllle's court on the charge of violat-
ing the compulsory education law.
This is the 10th case of it's kind
that 1 have had in the last three
weeks" said Mr.. Bodin. Judging
from the testimony of various wit
nesses at the trials of these cases
am convinced there are hundreds
of children from institutions who are
drudging as servants in many house
holds of the city without being sent
to school"
Mrs. Krosnick was fined $40 and
costs-the limit in such cases. The
two children under her charge were
Adelaide Walby, 13 years old, and
Edward Rinder, 10 years old. The
woman said she had taken the gir
from an orphan asylum in the city
eight years ago. This child was found
hard at work over a washtub, and Il
was testified at the trial that 'she hat
been ill-treated and compelled tc
work at the hardest kind of labor ar
average of IL hours a day. She
could hardly read or write.
The boy was taken from the home
for the friendless when he was year
old, and the testimony showed tina
he had been kept at work insteat
of being sent to school.
Warrants have been secured fol
several persons, many of whom are
said to have taken children from in
stitutions and forced them to do worl
far beyond their strength.
