.sThey Are Making Fun Of YOU

It was at morning prayers. Th4
subject nearest the missionaries
hearts, naturally, was talked oVert
the millions of evangelical; those
who had fallen asleep in the past
ages, without a ray of light or hopes
awaiting the coming judgment; the
open doors all over the world, the
outstretched hand to, Christianity and
their opportunity to open their doora
to dark lands with the living
bread:'' treasures heaped" together
for the last few days; Jesus leaving
all to come to this lost world, where
He was despised and rejected and
cast out, no place to rest His weary
head, wanted by no one, and yet for
BUR sakes suffered and died, His great
heart broken by love, and His last
commission, go We into all the world
and preach the Gospel to every crea-
ture," so unheeded and tralnpled I'M
der foot.
At my side sat a dear young boy
listening to every word, his eyes look
Ing I'D into mine with such q Que6-
tioning, as much as to say-are these
things all true? We had scarcely
knelt in prayer, when from his youth
tul heart he began to talk OF Jesus.
It wasn't a 1xed-up prayer, but lust
3 little soul telling in his own way
what was in his mind. He prayed:
"Oh, Jesus, this morning we have
been hearing that you told people 50
long ago to go everywhere all g
The world with the news OF salvation.
It was the last thing you told1them3
before you went away, and over In
The country called America, where
people are Christians, they have.
heard SO long about this, that you
told them, and we cannot understand
why they don't come over here and
tell those who never heard, because
they have known about It 30 long,
and they have great big churches
over there" and then there was q
pause, as If some new thought sud-
denly burst upon his mind, too great
Tor u%tterance, and he continued, but,
Jesus, they are making fun OF You;
yes, they are making fun Of you.
The little prayer was ended; but,
like a swift arrow, the truth dropped
into our hearts. Work had been
planned to occupy the day, but
scarcely a thread was undertaking
instead, a great burden was laid upon
our hearts, almost beyond endurance,
for the home church to awake to this
awful fact, that they were ~disobeying'
the very last and most important.
command of our Lord, and In SO do
ing were making fun of Him"
What servant would we keep in our,
home a week that would not do what
we told them, and yet Jesus in His
long-suffering and love tenderly with
holds His wrath.-Mrs. Charles ~

designs submitted few are superior

like the one shown in the illustra-

The patentee is a resident Of Indian
Territory. In this wrench the sta
tionary jaw, the handle and the
ratchet teeth are no different from
the usual type, but the movable jaw
is adjusted in a manne quite
out of the ordinary. Pivoted
on the movable jaw is a small ever.
Extending from the lever is a catch
which registers with the ratchet
teeth. To adjust the jaws the lever
is moved away from the handle far
enough to bring the catch out OF
locking position. The movable jaw
is then free to move in either direc-
ton. After determining the size of

Worlds Work and Play. 1.-THE dis
infection of the pens with a solution
of eau de Javel goes on daily
might almost say hourly.
ION the conclusion Of a sale, the
animals are generally at once trans
ferred to the abattoirs. Here the
buildings, some forty to fifty in num-
Der, consist Of slaughter-houses,
stables, singing house, auction
room for the sale Of small quantities
of meat, octroi building, a%dministra-
tive offices, electric-lighting station,
ice mandatory, janitor's lodge,
clock-tower, etc. The slaughter
houses, which are solidly built and
arranged on a fa~n-shaped plan, are
separated into equal groups by three
perpendicular and three t~ransversal
streets which cross at right angles.
Oxen are killed in open c~ourtyards,
and these, in addition to the echau-
doris, where animals are cut up and
dressed ready for sale to butchers,
are carefully cemented, the ground
'sloping toward a central trough
which leads direct to the drains.
There is a plentiful supply Of water
and the whole place is kept so scrup-
ulously clean that, toward n
o'clock in the afternoon, when killing
is over for the day and buying COM
mences, you would never imagine
that it had so recently been the scene
of the slaughter of thousands of ami
mails.
"After each carcass has been
dressed and suspended on the stands
with stout iron pegs which can be
seen both inside and outside each
echaudoir, it is examined by one of
the numerous inspectors Of the pre-
lecture Of police, who, on finding 1t
to be sound and Of good quality,

The FaYorite Son.


Victoria Station is not a favorite re-
sort of the fashionable world between
the hours Of seven and eight in tho
morning. In fact, that sweetest, fresh
est, most enhancing hour is rather apt,
in London, to be dull and somewhat
dismal; therefore best spent in bed.
The carly porters We're busy sweeping
up with long brushes the dust shaken
from the feet Of many a weary tray
eler, and sprinkling water in strange
circular patterns upon the pavement
of the station, when the first hanson
cab of the day made its appearance
with much clatter of hoofs.
From it there alighted a brisk little
lady who instantly glanced up at the
clock. Her movements were very
quick without being in the least fussE.
Many a man in passing that glrllsh
form in the street had turned his head,
to be met by q pair Of calm gray eyes,
with a shock Of surprise. that the
pretty, energetic face was surmounted
by q mass of silvery hair. Mrs. MIST
ley's white hair was an Inherited Pc
culiarity. Long, thick and SILKY, IL
was gray at the temples when she
married Major Mistley. 1t did not
change much for two years after that;
but at the end Of the third year. when
she returned from India, O widow OF
twenty-five, it was white. She wore
it piled up high upon her graceful
head. after q fashion which vaguely
suggested Madame de Lambelle, or
some other gracious lady of the old
French court.
Mrs. Mistley walked as far as the
platform, and finding no one there, re-
turned to the entrance of the station.
Presently a small victoria arrived, and
from it Mrs. Wright alighted. The tive
ladies kissed each other warmly, and
both remembered later that that form
of s%alutation had not passed between
them since the caressingly afectionate
days of their girlhood. Mrs. Wright
was somewhat pale, but she returned
her friends smile bravely, and they
turned toward the platform indicated
by the porter.
Presently they sat down upon a high
" polished seat, and, hidden in the folds
of their dresses, their hands met and
clasped each other.
"Do you remember" said Mrs. Mist.
ley, with 4 pathetic little smile, AL
the nonsense we talked in the old
Melun days? How we were never go.
ing to cease corresponding; how, If we
married, we were to be constant com-
panions; how our children were to
grow up together as brothers and sis.
terss how-our husbands were to be
friends"
IT am afraid replied Mrs. Wright,
that we were very foolish and ro-
mantle in those days"
The brisk little lady stopped short
She was at a loss for something to say
a very rare occurrence. Mrs. Mistley
had touched upon q page Of her life
which was close to her friend. Those
three years of married life were as q
sacred memory, and Mrs. Wright
thought that the pages were better
left unread.
"Who would have thought" said
Mrs. Mistley, presently, that we
should have one day to be waiting here
for your husband and my son-waiting
together for them to arrive togetheri
1t almost seems as If Providence had
heard our glrlish vows; for we have
come together again after all these
years., and our children will be

Mistley was intensely relieved at this

spires Of Flushing, which enabled him
to change the subject. Like many or

CONCLUSIONS.

problems and raising the status OF
their la borers.
CONCLUSIONS.
Justice is due the sugar planters of
Hawaii.
They are not land monopolists; they
are the most daring land reclaimers
the world has ever known.
They have made the desert support
commonwealth.
They nave made agriculture a bust
ness OF the highest organization.
They have wrung nearly every posi-
bic drop of water from the caverns of
the earth
They have caught nearly every drop
of water that flows within the reach
of man on these islands.
Still the demand is for more water
The investment per acre cropped is
unparalleled by any other agriculture
in the world
They have absolutely created nine
ty-nine per cent in value of all the
products of the Territory.
Their lands can grow no other crops
commercially.
Ruin them and you ruin Hawaii, so
far as human foresight can predict.
He who claims otherwise is an as
trologer and sees stars.
They based their agriculture on con-
tract labor, which. whatever its faults,
bettered the condition of the laborer
Labor possibly did not always receive
it's just dues. Evidently labor intends
to settle that point in the future.
The labor situat ton might have been
bettered in Hawaii, but hindsight has
exceled foresight for a decade and
half at least
They have supported an educational
system that has deprived them Of need
ed labor
They have been between the devil
and deep sea of their pocketbooks and
their missionary consciences.
The latter have won often enough to
give them great credit.
Ownership in plantations is not so
exclusive all stockholders may be term
ed sugar barons.
What ails the dear general public, !
and it's widespread distress in Ha-
wall, is what ails it the world over, it
buys high and is sold out low.
1t gets into a game where the cards
are stacked and the pot already spok-
en- for. /
Inc Plantations are QlSLreSSeO Tor ID
Dor and are forced to two choices
First To seek peasant labor Occi-
dental or Oriental, the world over at
enormous expense.
Second. To endeavor to make place
for more effective, intelligent, ade-
IuateIy paid and doniciled self-respect-
ng labor by trying to substitute The
Man with Machinery for The Man
With the Hoe
Far from this paper to assert the
machinery can be devised, but to urge
he attempt Many more difficult me-
:hanical problems have been solved.
If the plantations should conclude to
make the effort, it is to be hoped The
Hawaiian Engineering Association
ray be chief factor in creating the
machinery needed and that the
young men of Hawaii may
operate it.
Nav we hope invention, fostered by
he Hawaiian plantations may yet dig
1ify labor and the educators of Ha-
vail may teach the dignity and worth
# physical labor.
