Mr.. Alfred Farlow.-

The photograph enclosed
herewith taken by the Notmen
Photographic Company, Boston,
Massachusetts, is portrait of my
mother, Mrs. Sarah C.. Chevaillier.
By comparison, any one can cas-
lily see that the portrait shown in
McClure's Magazine for December,

and to the best of my knowledge
and belief is an exact copy of the
photograph enclosed.

Christian Church Notes.

Doctor and Mrs. Hammer showed
excellent taste in arranging the
Christmas declarations.
The girl choir sang we'll on
Christmas eve, and the organist
also did her part admirably.
Two fine wall pledges have been
ordered for 1he Endeavor societies,
both of which will doubtless be
here by Sunday.
Splendid audiences last Lords
day, especially in the morning. The
attendance was likewise good at
the Audubon Township church.
!" A Peep into the Face of the New
Year" will be the theme of the SER
mon Sunday night. Subject in the
morning: The Growing Excel
lency."
The picture of an old-fashioned
fireplace which hung on the wall in
the rear of the rostrum helped out
the appearance of things on Christ
mas eve, fitting in beautifully with
the exercise.
The Christmas exercises in town
attracted large audience and
went off all right. The preacher
and his wife are very grateful for
the handsome rug, the gift of the
brethren, which was donated them.
1t kept the parson and his wife
buey last Sunday afternoon to at
tend the Foss-Channon wedding
and also the services at the Audu-
bon Township church. They we're
about half-an-hour late in reaching
the latter, but the congregation
kindly and patiently waited.

ANOTHER LETTER
From w. H. Beedle Written After
His Return to the Philippines
From the Chinese Lands
Manila, P. I.
Nov. 2, 1906.

Manila, p. I.
Nov. 2, 1906.
Mr.. J. w. B. Cole,
Dear Friend:- Well Mr.. Cole
/ received your letter when 1 got
back from China. 1 sent you
post card from Canton, China. I
suppose you got it.
Well I sold the restaurant and
put the money in the bank. I made
over eight hundred dollars in four
months and one-half and that is
not bad. 1 may go back on the
police force as soon as there are
any vacancies.
/ had a nice time in China. /
went to Hong Kong and then to
Macao, Portuguese colony, and
then to Canton. That is a nice
trip for vacation but no place fo1
an American to live. There are
not over six or seven Americans in
Canton and they are working for
the Standard Oil Company. There
are also couple of Americans in
the Customs service at Canton.
Well Mr.. Cole if l can sell my
house l will come back in the
spring but there would not be any
use of me coming back now tor
couldn't stand the climate. I don't
think will ever live in cold
country again. I have lived here
almost eight years and it is one of
the places where it is always the
good old summer time. If a per-
son would have some way of get
ting SNOWFALL here, there would
not be one person in a thousand
that could tell you what it was.
/ suppose you had fine time at
the reunion when you met men
you had not seen for forty-fiye
years. know about how you felt
for it makes me feel good now
when, | meet man out of my. old
company that fought with only
eightyears ago but / suppose they
will be scarce forty years from
