Spent Night In a Tree Top.

little excitement was caused IN the
midst of our usually serene town yes
tercay when it was reported on the
streets that DR.. Leon Fischer, OF

way had been either lost in the swamp
or drowned in the Santee River. Tue
facts in the case are both thrllllu" ana
amusing:
On Monday morning Dr. Fischer and
his young brother-in-law left summer
ton to 60 for an all-day fish at kuddho
Lake, several miles below here, IN the
Santee Swamp. When q few hours
after dark the two did not return some
uneasiness was felt, as at about dark
the borse which they had driven came
home with an empty buggy.
Immediately searching parties we're
started out in that direction and, after
an all-night hunt, failed to lind any
trace OF the young men. To add to the
alarm felt, a boy, who had just return
ed from the swamp, reported that the
river was rising at a rapid rate; and
that the creeks and lakes were about
overlowed. This report, in view OF the
fact that heavy rains had prevailed
over the State for the previous twenty
four hours, aroused the whole town.
Abou q half-dozen searching parties
were made up at about 10 o'clock yes
terday, consisting of some of the best
men in the town. Their efforts were
unrewarded. however.
Late in the afternoon the missing
ones turned up in the town. DR.. Fischer

DR.. Fischer and the young boy both
declare most emphatically that they
were surrounded on all sides by several
large and lnaliciously inclined animals
after nightfall Monday night and,
having had no guns, they were forced
to seek refuge in the tree tops. Glar

them all the night through, they say,

Sacred Monkeys Of India.

In Giving Animals Of the WorlG
some curious stories are told about the
habits and characteristics Of the mon
key tribes. It seems that the entellus
monkey is the most sacred of all in
India. It is gray above and nutty
brown below, long legged and active, a
thief and an impudent robber. In one
of the Indian cities they became such
a nuisance that the faithful determin-
ed to catch and send away some hun
dreds. This was done, and the holy
monkeys were deported in covered
carts and released many miles off. But
the monkeys were too clever. Having
thoroughly enjoyed their ride, they re-
fused to part with the carts and, hop
ping and grimacing, came leaping all
the way back beside them to the city,
grateful for their outing. One city OBJ
tanned leave to kill the monkeys, but
the next city then sued them for 'kill-

sacrifice. 1t is for a fellow to have one
cigar left, to be unable to get more,
say, till the next day, and then to have
put up to him the question Of giving
that cigar away or keeping 1t for him
self. OF course, 1t is easy to say we
should put the law Of hospitality
above that Of personal comfort; but
how about 1t when the possible donor
knows that the possible recipient
doesn't need the cigar half SO much as
he does? Shall he strive to obey a
high Ideal of %politeness and hand out
the cigar with the best smile he can
command? Or shall he simply say
nothing about 1t?
"The worst thing he can do 10 to
give away the cigar and then regret
the action til the last bit of ash has
been ficked off. In such regrets the
essential weakness OF human nature Is
evidenced"

The Biggest Blunder Of Missions.
This Shanghai conference will give
a decided impetus to the union of all
missionary work. The biggest blum.
der of the missionary movement has
been perpetuation of foreign denomi.
national lines on the mission field. As
the Shanghai Mercury recently
said, in an editorial upon Chinese
Christianity:" IF 1t depended upon
the Chinese vote, the Christians would
all unite together in one National
Chinese church, without any Of the
isms' Of the west, which ought not
to be imposed on them and which
mayhap they will n day cast off,"
A rather careful inquiry among
leading native Christians reveals a
definite tendency toward the assertion
Of Chinese nationalism in the native
churches. This nowhere assumes the
proportions or the animus so marked
in Japan. but the independence move.

churches. So earnest are many ma.
tive Christians In this direction that
they have organized a missionary so
ciety of their own, to open Christian
work In hitherto untouched Chinese
villages.
While on the subject of union and
comfy, frank criticism must be made
of some Of the smaller and rather
peculiar American sects, which,
like many independent missionaries,
plant their enterprises under the
shadow of long established missions
and steal away the converts Of the
latter. This sort Of PROSECUTING is not
uncommon on the mission field on
the part OF these smaller bodies, al.
though by all standards 1t is dishon-
orable. Civers to foreign missions
should assure themselves that the
work they support is not of this sort.
There is small excuse for these new
undertakings going to port cities.
when there are thousands of interior
cities and towns where not a single
missionary has ever gone.
