And caves where the cavemen dwell;

And a face turned from the clod--
Some call il Evolution.
And others call il God.
A haze on the far horizon,
The infinite tender sky;
The ripe, rich tints of the cornhelds'
And the wild geese sailing high;
And ali over upland and lowland
The charm Of the goldenrod-
Some of us call il Autumn,
And others call il God.

When the moon is new and thin,
Into our hearts high warnings
Come yelling and surging in
Come from the mystic ocean
Whose rim no foot has trod-

And others call Il Cod.
A picket frozen on duty.

indicating that the boycott in Shanghai
is practically at an end, but that il still
exists TO some extent in Canton.
Consul-General Rodgers says:
There are at the present time in
Shanghai warehouses approximately I6o,-
600 bales of American piece goods, val
ued at 100000 Haikwan taels, or near
ly 100000 gold. The question of mar
keting this commodity and of collecting
the money therefor under the present
conditions and with Manchuria closed
presents very serious condition and is
apt to cause great difficulty not only to
the Chinese merchants, but also to the
importers.
What is true of piece goods is also
true Of all other lines of staple prod
ucts. The market has been overstocked
and now nothing is moving, and, while
the Chinese merchants are now suffer-

the effect on the settling dates. The
