PASSING OF THE MAIL BOAT.
People OF Fort Pierre VIII Now Be
Supplied by Train.

Ever since the Northwestern rail-
way has begun to carry mail into
Pierre from the east. the people of the
town of Fort Pierre have been sup
piled with boat mail service. which
was anything but regular at times
when the river was either freezing in
the fall or the ice breaking up In the
spring. But beginning Monday OF next
week the local train between Pierre
and Fort Pierre will begin carrying
mail, and the old boat service is gone
for all time. This will be appreciated
by the people west of the river who
can be assured of regular mail what
ever the condition of the river.

Patten claims that he was to have
received one-third of all money OBJ
tanned by Weston and that in promot-
ing the benefits, particularly one at the
Garrick theater in Chicago, he spent
over $500. Yet on his arrival in Chi
cago, the complainant asserts, Weston
refused to submit further to his man

his right to an accounting. Judge
Carpenter issued the injunction Satur-

HAD NO DOUBT OF HIS FATE.
Mr.. Jerome Evidently Was Aware of
His Wife's Culinary Ability.

Some weeks ago the wife Of Judge
Blank, of Pacific avenue, lost her cook,
and since she had no other resource
she rolled up her sleeves and for a
week provided such meals as the judge
had not enjoyed since those happy
days when the Blanks did not keep a
cook. The judges delight was so great
that by way Of appreciative acknowl
edgment he presented Mrs. Blank
with a beautiful ermine cloak. Quite
naturally, the incident was good
deal noised about among the social
acquaintances of the Blanks and a
spirit Of envious emulation was de-
veloped in certain quarters. 1t was in
this mood that Mrs. Jerome recited
the story to her husband. What do I
get, Jerry?" she asked, eff I will do
the cooking for week?" "Well,"

Shanghai, China.-These articles
engaged to tell of the American men
and women who are investing their
lives in heather lands. 1t is in the
nature of the case that these should
be pronounced personalities, and full
of interest; many of them will get
volume biographies when they die. Let
me recall, in a paragraph each, a
few of those whom l have met in
China, the reader remembering that
there are many other hundreds in the
interior of this immense empire whom
/ have not had the opportunity to
meet.
AS he is the acknowledged foremost
writer upon Chinese subjects, so Rev.
DR.. Arthur H. Smith, of the American
board, is probably the most interest
ing personality among Americans in
China. His books are not more bril-
liant than himself; he is a scintillat-
ing conversationalist, at a two-hund
red sords-a-minute gait. Yet there is
not more inconspicuous or modest
American in China. He has never been
mistaken for fashion plate, for he
is as unconventional as he is learned
and original. He probably understands
the Chinese better than any other
white man. If the legations and mis-
sionaries had listened to his urgings
there would have been fewer massa,

Prof. Isaac T. Headland, of the Meth.
odist Episcopal mission, Picking! This
book brought Prof Headland no little
reputation in America; but his more
serious hobby is not nursery rhymes,
but Chinese art. He has the finest
collection of Chinese paintings owned
by any white man, and he is, doubt
less, the worlds leading authority on
this subject. incidentally, he is a con-
noisseur on Chinese rugs These pur-
suits are merely avocations; his vo-
cation is that of teacher in the Picking
university, where several hundred
young men are learning the best that
the west has to give, including it's
Christianity.
Two rare men, who long-headedly
have elected to be inconspicuously
great in China, rather than to stand
among the many strong men in Amer
lea, are Robert B. Galley C'Bob'
Galley, Princetons greatest football
player), and c. H. Robertson, who are
associated in Y. M. G. A. work at
Tien-Tsin. Both are statesmen, whose
breadth of vision, altruism and nobil-
ity of character have won the conf
dence of the highest Chinese. Rob-
ertson, like Galley before him, lives in
a Chinese house in the native city,
and, considering it the biggest work
open to an ambitious man, he has in
vested his personality as foundation
stone in the New China over which he
is so enthusiastic. Both these men
are truly leaders of a constituency of
young Chinese.

BOTH GAINED
Man and Wife Fatten on Grape-Nuts

The notion that meat is necessary
for real strength and the foundation
of solid flesh is no longer as prevalent
as formerly.
Excessive meat eaters are usually
sluggish a part of the time because
they are not able to fully digest their
food, and the undigested portion is
changed into what is practically a
kind of poison that acts upon the
blood and nerves, thus getting all
through the system.
Il was heavy meat eater" writes
an Ills. man, "and up to two years
ago, was in very poor health. suf-
fered with indigestion so that I only
weighed IS pounds.
Then heard about Grape-Nuts and
decided to try it. My wife laughed at
me at first but when I gained to 125
pounds and felt so fine, she thought
she would eat Grape-Nuts too.
Nov she is fat and well and has
gained 40 pounds. We never have in
digestion any more and seldom feel
the desire for meat. A neighbor of
ours, 68 years old, was troubled with
indigestion for years; was heavy
meat eater, and now since he has been
eating Grape-Nuts regularly, he says
he is well and never has Indigestion.
l could name lot of persons who
have really been cured Of indigestion
by changing from heavy meat diet
to Grape-Nuts." There's a Reason"

the death of the late Miss Simpkins.

kins, the citizens of this town re-
spected Miss Simpkins, but now she's
dead and gone to the Lord, and the

tin, Chfna's eldest missionary, Is
known where fer men read thoroughly
about China He was long head Of the
Imperial university; he is author OF
standard works in Chinese and upon
China in English. His magazine con-

Another veteran, a type of New

Sheffield, of the North China Union
college, Tung Chow. To tell of his
literary labors, ranging from his uni
versal history through long list OF
publications to his present work OF
Bible translation, would be to out
line great life work for any man.
Yet, these have been a mere phase OF
his educational and direct missionary
effort. At once a dry Yankee and a

The romantic story of Bishop Schtsr-
eschewsky, the famous Chinese
scholar who died few months ago IN
Toxic, demands page, and not a
paragraph. When l saw him recently,
although paralyzed and scarcely attic
to speak intelligibly, he was working
on a complete set of references GSr
his Chinese Bible. He was "a years
old, when he died in the chair where
he sat for the 25 years of his paraly-
sis; during which time he had trans
lated the whole Bible into easy Wenli,
or Mandarin, which is the written Ian
guage of three-fourths of all the peo-
pie in China. His Old Testament
Mandarin is issued by both the Bible
societies. For seven years he worked
eight hours day, seven days In the
week, on the translation and revision
of this classical version. He called it
his ''two-fngered Bible" because he
had laboriously written it on a type
writer with only two fingers on his
paralyzed hands that he could use at
all. Not alone for his splendid bat
tie against affection was Bishop Scher-
eschewsky famous; his ability as a
Chinese scholar, and as a linguist gen.
orally, was almost uncanny. He was
Lithuanian Jew, and when past his
majority he went to America, where
he became a Christian and clergy
man in the Protestant Episcopal
church. Even before he was accepted
as a missionary he had determined to
translate the Bible into Chinese. Dur
ing the six months voyage out he
learned enough Chinese to be able to
write it acceptably when he arrived
at Shanghai Twice he declined the
bishopric, which he was finally
obliged to accept When saw him he
said, after outlining some translation
projects which he had hoped to under
take: But I am weary. want to go

seems to possess rare genius for i'm
pressing his personality upon people.
Mr. Charles Alexander, the famous
singer of the Torrey-Alexander evan
gelistic combination, has been in the
east for his wife's health. During a
visit to missionary relatives at Pakhoi
he demonstrated the power of a win
some personality over even people of
an alien tongue. At Hongkong he
held the largest religious meeting in
the city's history, and at Manila he
spoke in both the Methodist and Pres
byterian churches. A week later, as

Dor by night a launch passed, full of
men singing Justify, "The glory song"
Considering that this was Hongkong,
the incident was a notable echo of the

force of that organization has gone to

There are three special reasons for
the presence of so many American
