lady with the picture of such out
rageous deeds in view think of pack
ing her suit case and tramping six
teen thousand miles to try to con-
vert the unconvertible. They might
as well try to butt down the Chinese
wall. Let us all read what good old
truthful st. Paul says in Colossians,
list chapter, 5, sc and 23rd verses.
Now, in Paul's day the Gospel had
not been preached to the Chinese.
We are heartily in favor of aiding
the poor who belong to the Adamic
family-those who are like old Noah
perfect in their generation.

GOOD LETTER ON MISSIONS.

My Dear Mr.. Watson:-You are
shedding more light on important
subjects connected with the interests
of our country than any other man in
America. Hundreds of thousands of
good people are profoundly interest
ed in your articles on Foreign Mis-
sions.
While you approve Of preaching to
those Chinese heather, we have not
a particle of faith in all the preach
ing that the world could do for those
heather. They are the product of
mingled people produced by amalga-
nation in remote ages.
All newspaper readers are ia
miliar with the dreadful scenes en-
acted there during the Boxer upris-
ing. According to newspaper re-
ports many American missionary
women were driven or led through
the country in a nude state, while
those idolatrous beasts would crafty
their beastly lust at will. Great God!

ounces of silver per month and coin
ed it into silver.
This was not as good law as the
country needed, for it failed to recog-
nize silver as amoney of the Consti-
tuition. But it gave us a regular ad-
dltion to the circulating medium, to
meet the increasing demands of popu-
lation and commerce.
The National Democratic party de-
nounced this Sherman law las mis-
cradle makeshift," because it requir-
ed the Government to purchase a GER
tain limited quantity of silver each
month for coinage purposes, instead
or recognizing it at the mint on the
same terms as gold,-which the Gov
eminent had always done before
1873.
The people elected Cleveland and
a Democratic Congress, in the expec-
tation of having the mint opened to
silver on the same terms that they
open to gold. That is what was
meant by the free and unlimited
coinage of silver, which the Demo-
cratic leaders used to rave about.
Instead of opening the minis to
silver, Cleveland went to work to
stop the purchase of silver by the
Government and to stop the coinage
entirely.
To force Congress to do this, the
panic of 1878.
The parson got his facts reversed.
Cleveland did not save the country
from bankruptcy. On the contrary,
his policies came mighty near wreck
ing the republic.

A SOFT BERTH AND RAIMENT
FOR SOME REVERENDS.

Dear Mr. Watson:-When Rev.
ARCHIBALD insinuates that you are
thief at heart and that all that is
necessary to prove his assertion is a
good whack at the Foreign Mission
airy Funds, he certainly manifests I'M
mitigated gall and impudence. [ i'm
agine he is one of those Rev. gents
of cloth who likes an easy job and
soft berth, accompanied with "soft
raiment' and "broad phylacteries,"
of whom there are too many in cur
pulpits and that is why Zion Ian
guishes, the poor don't have the Cos
pei preached to them, and last, but
not least, the Catholics are taking
our country. Rest assured that / am
with you on the mission question, and
say continue to throw on the light
and give the facts to the people re-
gardless of whom it hurts.
Yours, etc.,

THE PARSON AND PRESIDENT
CLEVELAND.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-Will you
please answer through the columns
of your weekly Jeffersonian in regard
to Mr.. Cleveland on the free silver
bill? We had a sermon from our
parson, Rev. McBreyer, and in the
run of his discourse he said that Mr..
Cleveland saved this country from
bankruptcy by killing the silver bill.
The parson stated the gold was worth
s1.35 in China and silver only SO
cents. Mr.. Watson, I would like to
have some light on the subject.
Yours truly,
w. M GRIFFIN.

Answer: What Mr.. Cleveland did
was to call Congress into extra ses-
sion to repeal the law under which
the Government purchased 100000

Dear Sir:-I don't care how many
lions and tigers and elephants Teddy

went to Liberia to look after the

know you say you can't help living in a flat, but you could help it if you weren't too lazy to live in the suburbs There is no real home life possible without children-not one, but two or three enough to o.keep the young moth CT too busy to make believe she be- longs to the smart set. And apart ments are either too small for that or the landlords won't tolerate children at all. And then there is no neighbor- hood life. It's a good thing to have gossipy neighbors. You're more apt to be careful of the way you live.
 I always think of apartment house life as a sort of joke on socialism-a lot of strangers under one roof with just two mutual interests, a dumb waiter shaft and an artificial palm And I'm bound to say that I think 1t Is responsible for heathen race with no children. Children mean sacrifice and it's sacrifice that make good men and women.-Amelia B. Barr in New York World

His arrest was the result of suspicion entertained by a Harlem pawnbroker when two men, giving their names as Thomas McGin- ley and Adolph.

A Scoop.


 John l.. Toole, the famous English comedian and practical joker, and MT. Justice Hawkins who was afterward Lord Brampton, were great friends. They were at supper together one even- ing discussing the events of the day. The judge incidentally mentioned that he intended on the morrow giving the man he had been trying fifteen years because he deserved it.
 As Toole was leaving he blandly 1n- quired:
 "Oh, would you mind my calling at the newspaper offices and telling them about that fifteen years? It will be a tip for them - exclusive information, you know-and will do me no end of good with the press.'
 Good gracious! No, sirr' exclaimed the judge, who took the precaution of accompanying Toole to his hotel and seeing him safely to bed.
