it disturbed Enthusiastically the silence OF

Little One Simply Had to Be Taken to
Sunday School.

She was only five years old. Conse-
quently she was too young to go to
school, and as her mother had deep
ly rooted prejudice against the kinder
garten, her opportunities for mental
activity were confined to Sunday
school. This, while substitute. made
a strong appeal to her, and she insist
ed upon having the golden text repeat
ed to her until she could recite it as

day mornings there would be no peace
until arrangements had been perfected
for getting her to church by the time
Sunday school began.
One Sunday morning not long ago
she walked her father up so violently

that he pleaded his excuses on the

No "Peaceful' Boycott There.

This significant news item relative
to the ending of the Chinese boycott
against Japanese goods was printed in
Shanghai newspaper: Although Or
der has been restored in Hongkong.
the fear struck into the hearts of own
ers and employees of shops in Can
ton and Macao selling Japanese
goods has been such, owing to the
conduct of the secret society men in
Hongkong, that in both cities the
shops in question have taken down
their sign boards. The DO or Die
men have, however, given out that
they are ready to cut off the ears OF
all offenders the moment they are dis
covered tratticking in the forbidden

told him never to send for a doctor
until the boat tied up at a dock, be
cause it was dangerous, but Pa said
he had to have a doctor, and the COW
boy had drank a bottle of Scotch
whisky and had laid down under
bunk and he was no good, so l rune
for the ships doctor, but told Pa he
must keep the parts of his body that
were not BACKED covered up or the
doctor would find out he was white
man, and then it would be all off in
the niger king masquerade.
Pretty soon the ships doctor came
with a female trained nurse, and Pa
was a pitiful sight when he saw them.
The doctor felt of Pas pulse, and
asked him where the pain was, and
Pa, like darn fool, put his hand on
his stomach, and before Pa could stop
it the doctor had opened Pas shirt
and was feeling where the appendix
gets in it's work.
1t was a little dark but the doctor
said: "You old seney ambion, you
have got about the worst case of ap-
pendicitis that was ever pulled off on
this vessel. Boy, bring me that Ian
tern"
I hated to do it, because knew Pa
would be discovered, and I delayed
bringing the lantern as long as I
could, but turning the wick down, but
the doctor scratched a match so he
could see Pas stomach, and then he
said: Say, old skate, you are no
more niger king than I am; you
are white man BACKED up" and the
trained nurse said: "The ell you
say" and then got the lantern and
they looked at Pas white skin, and
the doctor asked Pa what he had to
say for himself, and Pa admitted that
he was white man, but said he had
many of the estimable qualities of a
niger, but that he was travelling in
cog, to throw his enemies of the
track, and then Pa tainted away from

to wake up and take notice, and we
told the doctor who we were, and how
we had escaped from negro tribes and
draw poker sharps and officers of the
law, and the cowboy fell in love at
first sight with the trained nurse, and
then Pa came to with the aid of a
bucket of water and some whisky, and
the storm went down, and the doctor
said Pa would have to have an opera
ton performed to remove his appen.

took him to the ships hospital, with
the cowboy for an assistant nurse, and
was left alone in our stateroom, the
only king there was left, and when
washed off my burnt cork 1 was SO
white and pale that they gave me
medicine, and the trained nurse held
me on her lap and sung English songs
to me, with all the his left out, and
every day she told me how they re-

when he got we'll enough the captain
would put Pa in irons for passing him

ransom. And there you are.

Mr.. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county,

speaks of it in the following terms:

reliable remedy for COUGHS, COLDS,

One Virtue Of Art.

The greater number Of us are con-
demned by circumstance of income and
the routine of duty to life restrained
by walls, streets and the more or less
flexible bounds of the community. The
greater world without is defined by
such impressions as the books and
the newspapers and the chance travel
ers make upon our imaginations. When
the opportunity of vacation or enforced
travel takes us into country and cities
thus described, we learn how awry
and colorless these initial Impressions
have been.
The life that goes on within our own
walk must ever be narrow in this one
sense-that the mind can never recre-
ate all of any scene brought to us by
others. The painter, as skillfully as
the musician, can catch movement.
light and poetry and can present them,
SO far as they may be reproduced, to
the senses Of the beholder His ex-
pertness at this is often weird, un-
canny. At least a half dozen pictures
can make one feel as If present In the
scene, q thing impossible to the photo
graph or to any other Of the graphic
arts. This, we believe. Is valuable
quality Of art. 1t can bring a relief
from the dulling rule Of duty. 1t can
impart touch of the buoyancy OF
travel. 1t can, to employ haekneyed
but fitting phrase, take one out Of one
self.-Toledo Blade.

She began q letter to Ezra when
there was a strange, heavy step on the
rickety stairs which was yet curiously
familiar. She stood up, listening. She
was very pale. Opening the door In

Then they sat and talked Of the dear

Edna noticed something new, more
alert, deeper and stronger in Ezra's
manner and dimly fancied he used
much better language than before and
chose his words with more discrimina-
ton.
