that conclusion. and quit 1t.

several times, but always with disas-

my mind that coffee was a necessary
evil.
About this time a friend told me
that l would find Postum Food COT

some and, making 1t very carefully
according to the directions, we were
delighted to find that he had not ex,

man, zone beautiful day in September,
to search out the place where an
American citizen is held as a god.
'The main room of the temple is
perhaps twenty feet square, and in
the center stands the pedestal or dais
on which rests the tablets which are
the material manifestation of Wards
deity.
There are number of tablets
about the shrine. Above all and the
most prominent one has these words
in Chinese characters, Sacred Seat of
Major Ward Two others which
were presented by the Taotai of
Shanghai read as follows: "A wonder
full warrior; he was from beyond the
seas, whose deeds spread through a
myriad miles. and whose name is re-
tanned in stone and blood
Near the rear of the temple stands
the grave. It is a large mound pos
sibly eight feet in height Around its
base are half dozen tall poplar trees.
1t is just such grave as may be seen
anywhere in China by the hundreds of
thousands.
In no other place in the world
would the grave of foreigner receive
such homage as does this one of the
leader of the Ever Victorious army"
1t Is a remarkable story how Ward,
who without military training and
while comparatively a mere boy
should seek such a commission. He
with his followers were playing for
big stakes. Many hundreds of them
fell on the field and received but the
scant honor of an unknown grave in
an unknown land.
Others, more fortunate, as officers,
have their names engraved upon the
brass tablets which adorn the sides of
a granite monument which stands
upon the public bund in Shanghai.
Wards name heads that list Every

on the monument, but he cannot read.
Two foreigners have been received
into the Chinese government, and
have been claimed and held as If they

the Chinese have thus deified; the
other Is Sir Robert Hart. who is the

PANToMlME HAD BAD EeeEcr,
London Youth Copied Crimes OF Here
Of Stage.

Are modern melodramas harmful to
uneducated minds? Some of the old
time pantomimes in London proved to
be. In the eighteenth century one
of the most popular productions at
the Drury Lane theater of those days
was pantomime called Harlequin
Jack Sheppard" which was simply
reproduction of the crimes of this
popular young criminal, who was only
% when he was hanged. His chief
appeal to the popular imagination was
his brilliant escape from Newgate
prison with the letters on his hands,
and when he was made the subject of
a Christmas entertainment hundreds
fiocked to see it. It was even proved
that numbers Of boy pickpockets who
filed the prisons about that time had
got their first inspiration to thieve
from this melodramatic entertainment,
and one boy confessed that he stole
in order to get to the pantomime and
hoped some day to be as clever as
Jack Sheppard.

II believe In early rising. The men
who are doing the work of the world
are those who get up early and work
late That is the way our country was
built. We could not have chopped
down the. forests and conquered the
soil. we could not have built these
great cities and made ourselves the
