spirit than any other cause, says

he soon becomes imbued with
the same spirit, and as a result
he drives down stakes and goes
to work with the same interest.
When, however, he goes to a
town where everyone expresses
doubt and apprehension for the
future prosperity Of the place,
moping about and indulging in
mournful complaints, he natural
ly feels that it is no place for
him, and he at once shakes the
dust from his feet while he pulls
out with all possible speed for
some other place. Consequently
try to make a live, enterprising
town out of the town in which
you live. When you are work
ing for your town you are ac-
complishing all the more for
yourself.

bed near her porch, three feet by
ten feet, with a low wire trellis
next the porch for naSturtiumS to
grow on. In the middle was a
row of geraniums in front. By the
kitchen windows she planted a
row of seeds of tall castor bean
plants, and in the vegetable
garden next to the front fence,
she had a bed about four feet
wide the length of the garden,
planted with seeds in groups

that it was often convenient for
the men to dig the flowers, be-
ing so near the vegetables, and
the beauty of the flowers was so
great that an added interest was
given to the care Of the entire
garden. She had rich soil and

Young Turks party. They have long
distrusted the grand viZier, who,
though he has fought and suffered for
the constitutional principle, did not
move quite fast enough for them. He
had shown favor to the other and more
conservative branch of the reform par
ty, the Liberal Union. The Young
Turks party calls itself the committee
of union and progress. Kiamil Pasha
suspected the committee of cOnspiring
to overthrow the sultan and establish
military dictatorship under Prince
Yussef Izz-ed-Din, eldest son of the
late sultan. To counteract or forestall
it he caused changes in the ministry,
which brought on tempest in the
parliament and led to his being de-
nOunced by the Young Turks as re-
dictionary. He resigned, and the sultan
charged Hilmi Pasha with the forma-
ton of a new cabinet.

edited the Mechverel, devoted to po-
litical reform among his countrymen.
He returned to Constantinople, but did
not remain long, and for some years
continued in Paris and other European

opium traffic and abolition of opium
smoking, now SO nearly accomplished.
The congress which has been holding
its sessions in Shanghai, under the
presidency of the heroic Episcopal
bishop of the Philippines, the Right
Rev. Charles II. Brent, has brought
out many startling facts as to the
prevalence of the evil among millions
of people and its degrading results.
The Chinese imperial decree declared
that the habit of hitting the pipe"
had pauperized to greater or less
degree from 80 to 40 per cent of the
population Of the empire. From COM
mercial and industrial as well as
moral standpoint the subject has
therefore assumed extraordinary i'm
portance The fact that opium smok-
ing has been ON the increase in the
United States gives especial interest
to the recent action of congress in pro-
hibiting importation of the drug.

His Work In Connection With the
Anti opium Fight In China.


The Rev. E. w. Thwing, secretary
for China of the international reform
bureau, has been an influential factor
in the work accomplished by the anti
opium congress which met at Shanghai
at the call of President Roosevelt.
Twelve nations participated in this
congress, and much was done by the
international reform bureau prior to
its meeting to prepare the way for ac-
ton by it looking toward abolition of
the opium curse Mr.. Thwing was
sent to Shanghai by the bureau in 1908
to act as Chinese secretary and in that
capacity to aid in the suppression of
the opium traffic in the Chinese empire
and the Philippines and to prevent
substitution of other evil habits for
that of opium smoking.
No recent reforms are worthy to
be compared in point of widespread
effect with those Of suppression of the
