STORy ABOVT LLHVNC- CHANG

1t will be remembered that at the
time of the Boxer outbreak Earl Ii
was in Canton as viceroy of the Two
Kwangs, says writer in the Chau-
tauquan. While there he made con-
tract with syndicate of native mer-
chants to sell to them the privilege Of
collecting the likin tax or mileage du-
ties on local commerce. The terms
were one-fourth cash and the balance
in equal quarterly installments. The
syndicate made their first payment
and then attempted to reimburse them
selves by collecting the tax from their
competitors in business while passing
their own goods free.
This resulted in riots so fierce that
the syndicate was forced to abandon
its efforts to collect the tax. They
then appealed to Earl Ii for the re-
turn of their money and insisted that
he should take over the collection of
the tax, which was properly a govern
ment function. The earl refused and
intimated that he would hold the

great sanitarium at Battle Creek,
Mich. where was at that time

In view Of the regret which was ex-
pressed by my friends over the loss
and the interest taken by the people
who sing our hymns. decided to re-
write the story from memory as far as
| was able. The present series is the
result
Mr.. Sankey gives in connection with
the story Of each hymn some incidents
which arose from its being sung at va
rious times and places. Following are
the stories of some Of the most famil-

She at once retired to an adjoin-

to Mr.. Doane the words Of this now

There's land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see II afar.
The words of this hymn are by S.

Mr.. Sankey tells the story of this
hymn as follows:
MIR. Bennett, the author of this
world famed hymn, has this to say
about its origin:
In 1861 | became a resident of
the village Of Elkhorn, Wis, the
home of the composer, j. P. Web
ster; and shortly afterward became
associated with him in the production
Of sheet music (songs) and other
musical works. In the summer or
fall of the year 1867 we commenced
work on The Signet Ring One of
the songs written for that book was
Sweet By-and-By." Mr.. Webster,
like many musicians, was OF an ex-
ceedingly nervous and sensitive ma
ture and subject to periods of depres-
sion. in which he looked upon the
dark side OF all things in life. had
learned his peculiarities so well that
on meeting him ! could tell at a
glance II he was in one of his mel

could rouse him from them by giving
him new song or hymn to work on.

the stove. and turned his back to me,

Uncomfortable Mode Of Travel.

Thomas Nelson Page is spending
the winter at Nice.
Nice is the largest city on the Ri
viera and next to Monte Carlo it is
the gayest and the most beautiful.
Mountains rise behind the town. In
deed, in that country the shore OF the
sea is altogether mountainous and the
railroad traversing 1t has innumerable
tunnels.
Mr.. Page on February afternoon
was taking tea out of doors on the
warm and sunlit pier that is called the
Palais de la Jetee. He complained Of
railroad journey from Genoa that he
had made and a young Englishman
said: well, you came through a
lovely country at least"
Perhaps | did. said Mr.. Page. "but
