THE SITUATION AS 1T STANDS.

So far figures may do so. the missionary
situation in Japan may he set forth briefly.
There are thirty-two denominations or organ

These maintain a force Of $50 white mission

AMBASSADOR WRIGHTs ESTIMATE.

Count Okuna's words have caused a digre.-
sion from the first point Of this article. Before

OF missionaries let me quote the opinion eK-
pressed 20 me by the American Ambassador to
Japan. Luke E. Wright: when I came to the
Orient was disappointed in the missionaries

first class as men. Some Of them have become

went TO speak in detail of individual mission

that he uneQuiyocally approves the missionaries.

AN ELDER sTATEsMAN's VIEWS.

On the same point let me quote Count Okunla-
one Of the elder statesmen ana the most infiu-
entail individual in Japan 1 had a long in
terview with him in his beautiful home. upon
many phases OF the japanese problem, including
this one. Japan has the most perfect re-
Mgious liberty in the world. So great is the
spirit Of federation here that a conference on
mutual relations recently held in Toxic
by the Christians, Buddhists and Shintoists
But this very conference showed a lack of zeal
on the part of each for its own faith This
same lack OF ancient zest and tendency 20 sur
render beliefs is also noticeable, understand
would say that IL has spread as a moral phi
losophy rather than religion II may con-
tinue TO grow and be widely accepted. but il
will never become a national religion. Had
Christianity been ancient faith. the situation
would have been different. Moreover Christian
fly would have been greater in Japan were IL not
for the eenominstional divisions and strife
which have hindered Christian growth here.
am glad 10 notice a decrease OF this, both In
japan and America. Mission boards should take
into account the Importance of this matter.
What Of the missionaries themselves? They
have done only good and not evil. Their educa-
tional work especially has been great-too much
cannot be said IN favor OF il. But not all mis-
tionsries have been successful; there are some
who are failures. My own opinion is that there
IS still place in japan for the best type OF

Fisherman's Luck.

Speaking of fishing, ''fishermen's luck" "lucky fishermen" etc, what does it all mean anyhow? To say 8 man is a lucky fisherman Is merely tn admit his superiority as a fisherman over other fishermen. The fish are in the water. We all have the same chance to get them, yet some lucky fisher men" always come home with their fish boxes full and the other fellow gets nothing. In the parlance of the fisherman, the word luck" really means Knowledge" The 'Iueky fish erman," you will find knows the rock holes where the grouper turks; he knows the channels in and about the patches and passes where the amber jacks and barracuda live; he knows where and how to find and capture the silver mullet for bait; he knows how to bait his hooks for different fish as occasion may require; he knows the style of hook to use for every kind of fish; he is judge of what style of fishing to do under certain conditions of wind and weather, and, above all. he is untiring in his efforts to use all of his knowledge when he is out for .fish.-Miami Fla,) Record.

But, nam. ma.' she answered, T won't see any. one I will know. and this one isn't bad. My good one I wish to save until Sunday (two days ahead), when l an to make speech to my Sunday school class
 And so she went away. It seems that on the boat going over the Flint girl married the pantryman on the steamer City of Benton Harbor. Across the lake Belle was deserted. She had little money and she was trustful and innocent. She says that on her way back to Chicago she met a smooth talking. well-behaved young man. who induced her to go to the West side by telling her of nice place where she could get light employment with good wages. Once inside the Peoria street place she was lost. Oh. I cannot bear to think about it. The picture ol that poor. dear. girls awful imprison- ment will not disappear from me cannot brush it away. It haunts me in my sleep.
 Why Belle was never outside of this house in all her life after the evenings lamps were lighted" she went on. Her little sister. Pusy, was always with her. She taught her the simple lessons of obedience to God. and when bedtime came she undressed her and tucked her away. And now she is away, gone, in that house where the disgraceful find refuge

One and a Million.

That's the first time I ever sold a single envelope" said the young wom- an at a big stationer's store in the city's center. I've always sold them in packages, but that gentleman came in with letter in his hand and asked for an envelope, and sold him one for a cent. I imagine that's the smallest sale that has been made in this estab- lishment since it opened. The biggest I ever made happened to be in the en- velope line too. A rather roughly dress ed man came in, asked to see our en- velopes and wanted to know the price by the thousand. I told him. Then he asked the price by the million. I got the figures from our manager. who smiled as he gave them to me. Yet the man ordered million envelopes, and when we asked for reference he said he would as lief pay the bill on the spot. which he did from roil of yellow back bank notes about the size of a loaf of bread. We delivered the en- velopes, but haven't seen the purchaser since. ."-Philadelphi Record.

CHICAGO, July f.--Glencoe has cast out its female pr. Jekyl and Mir. Hyde. Mrs. Lemuel E. Schlotter of that ex- elusive suburb, known to the Chicago police as Mme Leona Garrity and charged with crime against her own sex no less hideous than that of mur- der, is missing She is hiding from the angry mothers of girls who she deceived. Her husband and her l3- year-old son, George, have also dis appeared. It is said that the father fled to California with his son to es- cape the odium brought upon the boy by the mother. The beautiful home in Glencoe is closed
 Posing in Glencoe as a woman of fashion, Mrs. Schlotter reveals herself as woman knowing no law of moral ity and observing no sense of shame. How many victims other than the weak and pitiful little Belle Winters are yet to be charged to her account time only will tell.
 All Glencoe shuddered when the news of her duplicity became known. There she had lived in apparent lux ury. She was at all times mysterious. She did not obtrude upon her neigh bers. In the evening she remained quietly alone except when her husband was there. Her son was at school On occasions when she boarded the trains for Chicago no one inquired the object of her mission. If the police accounts be true, she was on her way to the city to exact toll from unfortu- nate girls. Her visits ended at 75 and 85 Peoria street. Inside these walls were mere children. Belle Win ters was one of these, a slip of a lass, barely turning 15 years, who un- til a few weeks ago was the loved teacher of a Sunday school in the Brokline Presbyterian church at Grand Crossing. She is rescued now In the home for girls at Geneva she weeps constantly. Tn her home a mother sits and softly rocks to and fro. Her eyes have long been red from weeping.
 Dear God," she cried last night T hope that l shall never be wicked. But if l ever see that woman( mean ing Mrs. Schlotter) 1 will tear her eyes from her head"
 Mrs. Winters told the story of her manner her daughter had met Lydia Flint who lived at 3655 Fifth avenue. On the morning of April 25 the Flint girl called at the Waters home Belle was there. She had grown tired be- cause of ceaseless care for her invalid brothers and sisters.
 The mother is cripple. The fathers income is small. Twelve children have been born to them. Ten live, two having recently died from tuber- culosis.
