missionary and his wife to visit their
ranches.
Often there will be only one cowboy
in a Mexican border neighborhood who
can speak English, but he translates
for the rest. and all appear able to
sing Justify.
In the northern woods the work is
chiefly in lumber camps, and here
the trip is cold and cheerless, for
winter is the time that these men must
be reached.
Often the car is engaged weeks
ahead to visit the civil engineers and
trial crews who are building rods
In the wilderness. Then the car is
attached to a construction train, and
services are held morning and night.
Quite as interesting are the serv-
ices in the mining districts of the
middle west, where the men come to
the train with miners lights in their
caps. The seats on such occasions are
we'll filled, three on one side of the
asile and two on the other. Every
inch of available space is utilized.
Few persons realize how much good
these cars do. unless they are privileg-
ed to take trip on the frontier and
to watch the work of the missionary.
In addition to affording opportunity
for those who desire to attend church
service. they are often visited by men
who come to scoff, but remain to pray.
Many time rough, uncouth men
smoke through a service and squirt
tobacco must scrub the car on his
hands and knees the next morning so
that 1t may be clean for the coming
service.
The life of chapel-car missionary
is not an easy one by any means, for
In the long Northern winters the car
is In bleak places; they are obliged
to saw their own wood. split it and
stack 1t in the car, and always be
prepared for the blizzard that is apt
to sweep down the unprotected rail-
road tracks in the little settled por-
lions of northern Wisconsin and Michi-
gan.
Camera Aids the Work.
Every worker is equipped with
camera and takes snapshots of the
towns. meetings and localities where
the car is stationed. He makes
systematic reports to the American
Baptist publication society. under
whose auspices the cars are sent out.
A car costs about $4,000 for the bare
building. and the maintenance of a
few thousand dollars year falls on
the society.
In one instance. fifteen women built
a car. They selected for its name
The Messenger of Peace. and 1t circu-
lates in the middle west. The Herald
of Hope was built by several young
men.
Conductors, engineers. brakemen,
fireman. news agents. all classes of
railroad men are interested in the
work. One of the most energetic
participants is an engineer on one of
the fastest trains in the west. who
was attracted to car while 1t was
attached to his train.
In one place. after the car was side
tracked. the missionary was surprised
to see the men of the town construct

sweetness attracts insects and their
sickness makes them a perfect home
for dust and its undesirable germs.
Yet most people seem never to think of
this at all. Washing will not impair
the flavor; on the contrary, it will
make them more agreeable to the
sight and touch, as we'll as to the
taste.

THE ENANGEL CARS DOING
GREAT work IN THE u, s

1t was in 1891 that the inspiration
to construct the chapel car Evangel
came to DR.. Hoyt. The Evangel and
her five sisters are busy now visiting
every part of the United States. pay
ing particular attention to the south,
Northwest. Pacific coast, southwest,
central west and northern frontier.
Some of them were built with funds
donated by women; others by young
men, and one was constructed by a
man in New York city as tribute to
his living wife, They are moving

calls if the work necessitates.
The missionary, If married, Is ac-
companied by his wife. and the car is
fitted with living apartments for two
and chapel, in one end of which Is
a library, with church pamphlets,
papers and railroad magazines.
Service Well Attended.
The first cars accommodated sixty
persons in the little chapels, but the
more recent cars are built on mod
ern lines and hold 40 persons.
At the services chairs are placed in
the aisle to seat the audience. People
come from miles around, on foot and
in lumber wagons, and. as each car Is
fitted with an organ, given by a prom
inent organ firm, they enjoy the serv-
ice, take part in the singing and al
WAYS ask when the car Is coming
again.
The railroads appreciate the bene-
fetal effects of such an influence along
their lines. and give sidetrackage on
to which the car can be switched dur
ing its stay.
In q number of cases the general
manager Of a road mas ordered side
tracks to be built especially to ac-
commodate the cars, and on a few oc-
casions they have gone with the car on
its initial trip and suggested The
towns at which visit would be well
come and most beneficial.
One general manager was so greatly
impressed with the benefit the car con-
ferred on his road that he ordered 1t
attached to his private train, and the
missionaries were Toasted as never be-
fore. On this trip the ground was
broken for a church. and the railroad
man offered to give 500 toward every
church founded by the car mission.
Sometimes the car is summoned to
the railroad shops, that the employees
may have the benefit of religious
services. The original idea of the
chapel car was to visit churchless
towns and to stop periodically with
the people there until they began to
erect a church. So many places we're
found. however. where church had
been built. but services abandoned
and the church building allowed to
fall into decay, that 1t was decided to

CHASE OF MAD ELEPHANT,
Strenuous Time of Hunter Who Was
tho Chased,


This tree, at least seven feet in diam
eter and over 80 feet in height, had
been uprooted by flood and had
fallen from the edge Of the bank, where
1t had stood, into the watercourse. The
huge roots encrusted with mold and
sand raised that part of the trunk
nearest to them to height of about
five feet as it lay, while the remainder
Of 1t slipped gradually down till the
top rested on the ground at the far
Their end of the "khor."
l as once saw the advantage this
tree would give me. Creeping under
the trunk, flung myself on the ground
on the farther side and listened. But
one thought filled my mind-that my
enemy lost sight of me, or was he still
In pursuit? l was not left q moment
IN doubt; his eagle eye had evidently
been upon me all the time, for his
heavy footsteps slithered almost i'm
mediately down the bank, and with an
angry bang he pushed his great chest
against the tree and snorted out a
threat. But for the moment he was
banled. Rage and disappointment fill
ed his soul when he found that the
space under which had crept was far

neither could he climb over. From the
ground to the top of the fallen trunk at
that end of 1t measured at least II
feet, and this was height he could
not surmount. 1t then occurred to
him that he might seize me with his
trunk; stretching it toward me in a
straight line from his forehead. he
tried to grasp me, but was beyond
his reach. This effort was repeated
several times, and so aggravating did
1t become that, feeling secure in my
retreat. could not at last refrain from
putting out my hand and giving the
trunk smart blow. No sooner had
done so, however, than l regretted the
action. for l not only hurt my own
hand by its rapid contact with the tense
muscular tissue. but my impetuous ac-
ton unfortunately caused the animal
to change his tactics. Apparently re-
f1ecting for a moment az to his next
move, he suddenly made rush for the
roots and ran rapidly around them. He
was within an ace Of getting ME, but
quickly scrambled back again under
the tree to the side he had left, and
once more he was floored. He immedi-
ately turned and ran back to get me

proved that the walk was patronized

WASHINGTON, Oct IA marked
characteristic of the export trade OF the
United states in recent months is a re-

chandise exported to China in the eight
months ending with August 1906, Is but

CEBALLoS TALKS OF FAILURE
Five Days After Agent Leaves Havana
Letter 10 Friend IL pub

NEW YORK, oct. 12.-For the first time
since the announcement Of the failure Juan
NJ Ceballos. senior member of the firm OF
J. NJ Ceballos & Co, broke his silence re-
garding Silveria and the failure.
OF Silveria he said: "All he was in the
world ] made him. | trusted him and he
betrayed my confidence"
Mr.. Ceballos denied the stories circu-
lated that this firm had bought warrants
for claims in the last Cuban war for from
to 10 cents on the dollar. He said that
all he had purchased from Silveria he had
paid 50, IS and 95 cents on the dollar for.
Mr.. Ceballos gave as his opinion that Sill
veria was in Venezuela or on his way to
that country.
The first intimation of the trouble which
led to an investigation and the conse-
quent assignment of j. NJ. Ceballos g. Co.
came through a letter which Silverie wrote
to his friends in the Cuban capital. accord
ing to information given out here today.
1t is said Silveria left the letter with
friends of his in Havana, saying frankly
that he did not intend to come 20 New
York. This letter was not made public
until October 5, five days after Silveria and
his family had sailed from Havana on the
steamer Carmelina,,JIt 1t was two days later.
It is said, when q cablegram containing the
news came from Havana to the Office OF
Ceballos' attorney here and anothcr. day
elapsed before the cablcgram was trans
lated. In New York the news was closely
guarded until after the Stock exchange had
closed and then the announcement was
made in a formal statement.
