THINKS NEWSPAPERS
SHOULD BE ENDOWED.
Author of ''In His Steps" Criticizes
Modern Journalism. - Latest
Theory of the Rev. Charles
NJ. Sheldon.

That the modern newspaper should
be endowed as colleges are endowed
and that editions should be printed
simultaneously in the larger cities OF
the country. something after the
fashion of the Hearst newspapers, is
the latest theory of the Rev. Charles
NJ. Sheldon, author of In His Steps.
and the man who in March, 1900, be-
came famous throughout the country
for his experiment in editing for one
week the Topeka Capital in the way
that he thought Christ would.
The Rev. Mr.. Sheldon, who is
spending vacation in Manitou,
Colo. denies ever having said that he
would run the newspaper as he
thought Christ would He says that
it was the newspapers that made him
out as saying so. What he did say
was that he would edit the Topeka
Capital according to his own relig-
ious beliefs.
Continuing. Mr.. Sheldon said
Il believe then. as / believe now.
that it would be more profitable for
any daily newspaper to run on the
lines | established that week than
by present methods.
You can go into the details of a
suicide. for instance, and the very
horror of it has a facination for some
minds that will lead them to initiate
the act These things oftener act as
an incentive than a deterrent.
'Of course, the country watched
my experiment with the Capital with
curiosity, and the circulation ran up
from 1000 daily to 367 900 daily
II was printed simultaneously in To-
peka. Boston, and New York. and my
profits for the week was S25. 900.
This | gave to charities in Topeka.
THE paper did not contain a line
that could not be read aloud in the
family circle. Crime was handled
briefly as a matter of news. There
was no record of prize fights or sim
liar degrading performances. The
advertising columns contained no
gambling nor stock market news, no
liquor nor patent medicine advertise
ments. nor We're there any notices of
a questionable character The Lon
don News and several large dailies
are now doing the same thing.
Preachers and newspaper men
alike should be able to make the
nobler things of everyday life inter
esting and beautiful without seeking
for the sensational. The Bible only
speaks of four suicides throughout
its pages, while thousands are print
ed annually in our daily newspapers.
The true daily paper should be
endowed like a college and it should
be published simultaneously in large
cities like the Hearst papers"

 Then they drank one another's health. The very small basins were filled with tea. instead of spirits. Following Wongs instructions. all but the host rose, and dipping their cups into a large basin containing hot tea, held them toward the host. grasping his hand in turn. The host, filling a similar cup, would ex- change 1t a moment for that extended toward him. In this way he drank much more than any other of the party. After fruit was served the four chatted for a time, while the guests related some of the Thanksgiving customs of their own country.
 At last Clara and Harry took their de- parture, Wong and Kow surprising them by singing after them in very good Eng fish the hymn: God Be With You Till We Meet Again." This the Chinese boys had learned at the mission.
 Father and mother were delighted to learn that the children had passed tho day fin such pleasant manner, and they readily consented to have Clara and her brother invite Wong and Kow 60 a party, within the next few weeks.

TT REALLY wasn't Clara's party in
 the sense that she herself gave it. A As a matter of fact. she and her brother Harry had come to the sad con- clusion that this year they would have no Thanksgiving dinner such as they used to eat in their own country. before they came to Hong Kong. Father and mother had been invited to dine with friends on this day, so the prospect looked very blue. indeed
 Wong Kee was the host at Ciara's party-he and his brother, Kow. Wong had heard Clara telling how disappoint- ed she was to miss Thanksgiving cele- bration. and as Wong was as generous and as hospitable as Chinese boy could be. soon the honorable presences" of Clara and Harry were requested In Wongs dainty invitations bidding them come to feast given especially ip their honor.
 Wong and Row were the sons of wealthy tea merchant. and Clara and her brother were very fond of the boys. So the invitation was gladly accepted. At noon on Thanksgiving Day Clara and Harry betook themselves to the resi- dence of their hosts. They were greeted with much ceremony by Wong' "hhS

PETER MAKES THE FIRE

The boy repeated this information to himself as he sauntered over to where the cook was building fireplace. Peter was arranging two short rows of stones. about a yard apart. with the larger stones at the back, and ranging in size toward the front. The gap at the back he filled with a big green Iog cut by John. Then he started the >hxe between the stones, first lighting a bundle of dry kindlings and gradually introducing larger billets of wood as the fire grew stronger. Camp cranes had already been cut. and soon kettles of water were boiling over the fire.
 Within the short space of fifteen min utes Peter had hapjacks and coffee ready, while five minutes later he pre- sented the hungry campers with appe- tizing fried fish. which John had pro- cured in some remarkable manner.
 Let's don't wait for the potatoesl' cried Uncle Hubert. ''I know the boy is as hungry as a bear" he added, glanc- ing merrily toward Ronald. Indeed. they all did full justice to the meal. dur ing which Uncle Hubert related an ex- citing hunting yarn and cracked jokes with Peter.

view; so that Ronald discovered they were travelling by way of chain of lakes connected by streams. Sometimes the waterway became quite narrow and filled with boulders. or rapids. cataracts or waterfalls lay, before them. Then it was necessary to make portage-when the canoes and all they contained had to be carried around the dangerous stretch of water and the journey re- sufnede in the water beyond. In some places the water was so shallow that portage had to be-made of the camp supplies. After the canoes were re- lieved of their burdens. it was possible to paddle them upstream. although 1t was found necessary to sheathe their frail sides with long strips of cedar bark. literally putting the boat in splints, in order that the sharp edges of rocks might not injure the canoes.

CAMP ROWLING WOLF

CAMP ROWLING WOLF
 TVHE secret was out at last. Uncle
 Hubert, who was an artist, an-
 nounced his intention of taking
 a long holiday from close studio work and of finding relaxation. as well as new subjects, in the woods of Nova Scotia. Ronald was to accompany him. Indeed, it was for this very purpose that Uncle Hubert had induced his sis- ter to permit the lad to come away with him from New York. F'icrence's vzsit at the cottage was drawing to close. and soon she must return to school in New York: while Cousin Douglas must also resume his studies at Halifax. Of course, Florence and Douglas were somewhat disappointed at not being able to go with Uncle Hubert. but he assured them that some time in the future they should have an outing.
 Preparations for the camping trip were now in order. Ronald was first provided with the right sort of cloth ing. He strutted around quite proudly when finally arrayed in a gray sack coat, furnished with extra pockets: canvas shooting jacket. gray flannel shirt and gray wooien trousers, cut in knicker fashion at the bottoms, which were thrust into the tops of moccasin boots. And when a soft felt hat of gray was donned, and his strong leather belt carried hunting knives. he felt every inch & hunter. He also bought suit of oilslxins, as he was told they would be quite useful

SUPPLIES GATHERED

Tn the meantime, Uncle Hubert thor oughly overhauled his camping kit It was wonderful to see how many afti- cles he could stow in knapsacks, dufFle- bag and sleeping bags. Then there were his fiy-books and fishing tackle and firearms to be looked over, and an end less number of details to attend to. But Uncle Hubert was an old hand at the game. as he expressed 1t, so 1t was not long before all supplies were gathered together and packed in most convenient fashion.
 On the morning O. September Is Uncle Hubert and Ronald bade goodbye to aunt Beth, Florence and Douglas. They trudged brislxly toward the stream, where two birchbark canoes lay ready for the journey. The Indian guide, John, and Peter, the cook. had brought the luggage from the cottage and had aI- ready slowed 1t in the canoes Ronald shared a boat with John. and soon the lusty strokes of the Indians paddle were sending the heavily laden canoe stead fly upstream.
 Only few miles had they gone when the creek widened Into lake. Nor had they padded far beyond the inlet of this lake before another lake came into

 cle Hubert called a halt. The canoes were then unpacked and the baggage distributed among the four campers, Ronald being given, just enough to let him feel that he, too, was helping. Un- der the guidance of the Indian. for the distance of a mile they stumbled through the woods. In places the under brush was quite thick. and they had some difficulty in getting through. At last. coming to spot which was fairly clear of trees and underbrush. Uncle Hubert dropped his load. and, turning to Ronald. who was thoroughly tired from his unaccustomed exertions. said: Here Is the site of Camp Rowling Wolf"

In particular. she has been most kind to the children of Lord CurEon. who lost their beautiful mother more than Q year ago.

 The child decided to plant them so that when they came lip they should spell "Alexandra." sT should like to help you plant them!" said the queen. well. you can put in the full stop" replied the child. Z.

1nto the creek from which they had just come While the rest were making camp. Ronald went little way up this stream. Presently he came to pond. To his surprise. he, discovered that 1t had been formed by means of a dam constructed of sticks and mud. Walk ing along the bank to examine 1t more closely. he stepped upon a slippery place in the bank. and would have slid right into the water had he not gripped a shrub nearby.
 'T do believe this is a beaver slide" self up, land that the dam was made by beavers" Sure enough. the next mo- ment he saw a beaver house. construct ed of sticks ingeniously cemented to- gether with mud. Part of the structure was above water. but he failed to see any of the beavers.
 By the time he reached the camping ground a wall tent had been pitched, and Uncle Hubert called to him:
 ''Hi, there, idler; lodging your share of the work, are you? Suppose you show us you're 1t for something by gatherins kslet ef dry ls sInloek bark for the href and little drfftwood to start 1t with"
 Ronald sEabbed his hatchet and was soon industriousiy searching for fire wood.
 This is for the cooking" Uncle Hu- bert explained when he brought back a good sUrpIy. "'For an ordinary fire 1t is best to use hardwoods. such as hickory, oak. ash, black and yellow birch. maple, beech. white birch. and so on. Of the soft woods. dry pine is very useful. eS- pecially in wet weather"

 going to play hunt the hand kerchief; only can't find my handker- chief.
 So she tiptoed across the room. and laid the ribbon on the window sill behind the flower pots.
 Edna and Harold had a long hunt for 1t, and when they gave 1t up. Baby Bess herself could not 6nd it. The ribbon was not on the window sill nor under the window, and wher- ever they looked it was nowhere to be seen. where had it gone2
 Now it happened that morning that Mrs, Oriole was hunting for a string and when she spied the baby's ribbon in the open window, she thought, "Ah. that is just what want"

After supper. the cook made the fire for the night First making sure that the two front corner stones were large enough to stop any logs from rolling down from behind and into the tent, he laid many. big logs across the stones. heaping them up behind and driving two long stakes at the back to lean the logs upon.
 Why do you pile them up in such a way, Peter?" asked Ronald, who was much interested in the cooks operations.
 BEDTIME COMES
 well, you see, when the wood in the middle of the fire burns out the logs will settle down, one by one. and so you won't need to get up a dozen times to fix the fire. tell you, it's a little chilly here at night, too.''
 The men smoked their pipes, and Un- cle Hubert told several more stories. But it was early in the evening when he said:
 .'Now, then, men. let's to bed. We've got the cabin to build tomorrow, and we want 1t finished in a hurry"
 So wrapping themselves-in blankets. they were soon stretched at short dis tances from the fire. Ronald at first was most too excited to go to sleep. However. sIumber quickly overcame him and carried him away to dreamland.
