GIFT NOT ALL A GIFT.
Generosity That Was Purely the Re-
suit of Accident.

A missionary bishop told this story
about F. Marion Crawford, the famous
novelist:
Mr.. Crawford went to school," he
said, Gin Concord, and one day he was
tsken to call at a Concord clergy
mans.
"The clergyman had a missionary
box on his drawing room table, and,
time hanging heavily on the boys
hands, he amused himself with try
ing whether silver dollar-it was
all the money he had in the world,
and he had converted it into that gi-
gantic coin for safety-would go into
the slit in the box's top.
1T was close fit, but unfortunate
ly it did go, and the coin slipped out
of the embryo authors fingers. There
was terrible crash of silver falling
among the coppers-and then the boy,
as the novelists say, knew no more
when he came to himself he found
the clergyman and his family in rap
lures over his generosity"

CHILDREN TORTURED.
Boy Tortured by Poison Oak
Both Cured by Cuticura.

Last year, after having my little
girl treated by very prominent ply
stefan for an obstinate case of eczema,
I resorted to the Cuticura Remedies,
and was so well pleased with the al
most instantaneous relief afforded that
we discarded the physicians prescrip-
ton and relied entirely on the Cuti-
cura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Gu
ticura Pills. When we commenced
with the Cuticura Remedies her feet
and limbs were covered with running
sores. In about six weeks we had her
completely well, and there has been
no recurrence of the trouble.
I'm July of this year little boy in
our family poisoned his hands and
arms with poison oak, and in twenty.
four hours his hands and arms were a
mass of torturing sores. We used
only the Cuticura Remedies, and in
about three weeks his hands and arms
healed up. Mrs. Lizzie Vincent Thomas,

NOT THE TIME TO STOP.
Manager Saw the Possibilities In the
Situation.

Jim tombstone, the famous base
ball umpire, said recently in New
York that baseball crowds were far
kinder to umpires than they used
to be.
"This is true of theater crowds,
too," said Mr.. tombstone. "Why, with
provincial touring companies in the
past, maltreatment was regularly ex-
pected. In fact, the companies prof
tied by it in more ways than one.
II know of company that was
playing The Broken Vow in Paint
Rock, one night stand. The audi
ence didn't like The Broken Vow and
eggs, cabbages and potatoes rained
upon the stage.
Still the play went on. The hero
raved through his endless speeches,
lodging an onion or a baseball every
other minute, and pretty sore from
those missiles that he hadn't been
able to dodge.

paroxysm of rage and scorn hurled a

alarmed, started to retreat

other port cities, contains a number
of ex-missionaries who have been dis
missed from board service, or who
have of their own will retired to en-
ter business. There is nothing dis
honorable in the latter practice, al
though 1t is clear violation of &C.
cepted missionary ethics. The onus
OF the shortcomings of all these, who
are naturally still called mission
aries" attaches to the missionary
body, the members of which, l have
been repeatedly assured, look with ut.
most disfavor upon the entrance of
any one OF their number into money
making pursuits.
Inc wiser way would be for the
missionaries openly to disavow re-
sponsibility for the course of all ex-
cept bona fide members of estab-
hshed missions; and Hospitality to
meet honest criticism with frank ex-
plantations and with respect for the
motives of the critics; instead of
maintaining an attitude of silence, Sc
clusion and self-sufficiency. In the
matter of the gulf that exists between
the foreign community and the mis-
sionaries, the latter appear to be more
blameworthy than the former, for it is
their business to be friendly with all
men and to guard the good reputation
OF their work. Yet in truth they some
times seem the more censorious of
the two. Some of the sweeping asser-
lions of the missionaries concerning
the evil lives of non-missionary for
eigners are as unfounded as many of
the criticisms which the latter make
of the missionaries. Investigation re-
veals the fact that in Tientsin more
effort is put forth In behalf of the
moral welfare of the Anglo-Saxon
young men and for the reclamation of
those who have strayed, by the non
residents than by the mis-
sionaries themselves.
Where the Missionaries Are at Fault.
An interested critic could probably
prove the charges Of narrowness, ex-
and consciousness
against many members of the mission
airy body here, admitting the note
worthy exceptions. All this might be
comprehended within the phrase, gen.
eral unfitness for missionary work in
a port city. 1t is a singular lack of
on the part of the mission
boards in America and Europe which

often put in the open ports mission
aries who by social gifts, intellectual
equipment and by temperament are
least likely to do the most effective
work there, both among the natives
and the foreigners No end of misun.
derstanding and misrepresentation
would be escaped by wiser method
on the part of the boards.
The frequently expressed policy of
the missionaries, that they have come
to work for the heather and not for
Europeans, is mistaken to the point
of absurdity and folly, as in a case I
ran across here. The best single mis-
sionary enterprise in Tientsin is the
work of the Young Mems Christian
association in the Chinese city proper.
1t is almost entirely self-supporting so
greatly does it command the resnect
OF eminent Chinese, the viceroy him.
self being among the contributors.
All the work, including the home of
the missionary, is in a big Chinese
residence, with upwards Of a hundred
rooms. A school which has govern.
ment recognition and approval is
maintained, as well as a library and
an athletic department. Some months
ago the wife of the secretary was TAX.

messenger was hastily dispatched to

who reported himself busy. (The
journey by night into the center of
the native city is not pleasant one. }
A missionary physician who, like all
the other missionaries, lives outside
the native city, sent back word, when
appealed to-: Il came to treat the
Chinese, and I cannot take other pa.
tients."
So after this experience, which
might have proved fatal to his wife,
the association secretary, to avoid its
repetition, is obliged to consider the
possibility of surrendering his home
amid the Chinese, where he is doing
notable work, and of taking up his
residence in the foreign settlement.
Probably such an extreme instance as

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con-
ditions that coffee will produce. 1t
shows in one way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in S. Oak. She says:
81 have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coolest nights, and felt
afraid to sleep for fear of catching
cold. I had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
Ihave been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that must keep on the move.
when it was brought to my atten-
ton that coffee caused SO many ner-
vous diseases, I concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see if my trouble was caused by coffee
drinking.
81 only drank one cup Of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit it
my troubles disappeared In an almost
miraculous way. Now have no more
of the jerking and twitching and can
sleep with any amount of bedding over
me and sleep all night, in sound, peace
full rest.
Postum Food Coffee is absolutely
worth its weight in gold to me-"

Tientsin, China.-Here is the place
to come to learn "the other side OF
foreign missions. This city and
Shanghai are doubtless the two
greatest centers of anti-missionary
sentiment in the world. The criti-
cisms of missions and missionaries
most commonly heard have to do with
Three out of four stories rejecting
upon missions are located in China,
and two out of three are likely to con-
Germ Peking and its neighborhood.
Now, that means Tientsin. The for.
eign population of Picking is very
small, including few persons besides
legationers and missionaries. But
Tientsin, the port of Picking and Of
North China, has the second largest
foreign population in the empire. 1t
is city of imposing European build
ings, of foreign stores, of modern
streets and homes, of clubs and
churches-in short, it is bit of the
west which greets a traveller like an
oasis in the desert Of the east.
A missionary Charged with Graft.
On the ship between Chefoo and
Tientsin / was talking over variety
of far eastern topics with British
merchant who had lived for more than
20 years in Tientsin. He was plainly
gentleman, a man of family, of
breeding and social standing, and in
all respects his views had been tenn
perate. Without his knowing my in
terest in the subject, the conversation
drifted to missionaries. Really. some
one should look into this missionary
business. 1t is not what people at
home think il is. You go up to Pc
king, and you will find the mission
aries living in compounds as big as le-
cations. And during the Boxer
trouble they loored frightfully.
There was one missionary, a Mr.
Blank, who was made interpreter to a
British punitive expedition, with the
honorary rank of second lieutenant.
At every village he would demand a
large sum of money, in the name of
the commanding officer, which he
would quietly pocket himself. At
length word of this reached the Brit
ish authorities, and the missionary
was asked for an explanation. He
fatty denied everything. Then he was
given his choice of standing a fair
court-martial. with the assurance that

She Experimented.

A little girl of five was taken to
church one Sunday, and listened with
unexpected attention to the sermon,
which graphically told the story of
the stilling of the tempest on the Sea
of Galilee, and how Christ walked on
the waves. In the afternoon her moth
er missed her and began an anxious
search of the house. AS she neared
the bathroom she heard sounds of
splashing, and hurried to the door to
behold a small, excited face peering
over the rim of the big white tub, and
to hear small, excited voice ex-
claim: "Say, mamma, this walking
on the water is quite a trick

he would be shot If found guilty, or
of being deprived of his rank and of
being dismissed from the service in
ignominy He chose the latter, thus
practically confessing his guilt. Mis-
sionaries all say: Poor Mr.. Blank
and look upon him as a martyr; al
though the board that employed him
took a different view of the matter,
and discharged him. He lives in
Tientsin to-day, and is rich man."
Trouble Through Ex-Missionaries.
Now this attitude of many English
speaking residents of the east toward
missions means something. 1t is not
a sufficient answer to fling charges, as
missionary supporters commonly do,
at the moral character of the white
communities in port cities. The man
above quoted is, as has been said,
al honorable man of position, and his
statements were specific.
In the particular case he cited, an
investigation showed that his state
ments were warranted, except as to
he attitude of the missionaries toward
the alleged culprit in question. What
the merchant said was mildness as
compared with what the missionaries
said to me. They seem to have a
more intimate knowledge of the crook
eduess of the ex-missionary than 9th.
ers. and they have the additional
grievance that he has brought dis
grace upon their calling. Similarly,
the missionaries went farther than
others in condemnation of another
notorious character in this city, an
ex-missionary now in corporation
service, who is commonly alluded to
as "the prize coward of the Picking
SIEGE" and whose business methods
III a reputed to be devious.
OF this attitude of the missionaries,
apparently, the community is unaware.
In it's sensitiveness to criticism the
missionary body presents solid
front, making no explanations, and
the world does not know that the
