 A writer from Killisnoo thinks that some of the Facts about Killisnoo" in our last issue were misleading. He says that there are several white people there during the winters instead of. only two He believes that the natives there cannot be said to be in heather darkness as they receive. sufficient Christian light through the preaching of the gospel by the Greek priest and the Salvation Army. He con- firms us in our. statement about the drunkenness rampant there but gives a ray ofhope in telling usthat through the work of the Greek Church over thirty natives have pledged themselves to ab- stain from intoxicating liquors. He thinks witch-craft has con .siderably lostits hold and that the natives realize that their an- cient feasts and dances are, d nuisance.
 We are glad to correct any errors and to record signs of progress among the native peo- pie. We believe that there is extensive room and ample need for more active work for the up lift and Christianization of the Killisnoo people.

 want to tell you about the tournament of roses. When the day came it was cold and cloudy and some kind of north wind blowing. We got ready and went down but we had to wait as the parade did not start as soon as they thought. When at last they got started it was 12 o'clock. 1t was the most beautiful sight 1 ever saw 1 wonder where they got all the flowers to use. There were great big floats some shaped like boats and every shape you could think of. There were auto mobiles and runabout machines and every one of these was covered with roses and other flowers. It was a long parade. 4 fter the automobiles came the veterans of the civil war. They were about 150 men. Some of them were so, old but they all wanted to march. It was some thing worth seeing to see those old men marching and keeping step. Every one was carrying the red, white and blue.
 The thing that interested usmost was the Roman chariot race. There were two of them one was blue and the other was red. Both of the men were dressed like the old Romans. did not know the men from Adam but wanted the red chariot to win and it got the first prize of one thousand dollars.

county commissioner and for years a
seilknown Chicagoan. made a balloon
ascension at a county fair over in
Michigan. says the Chicago Journal
As the guest Of honor the colonel
was sent upward with the assurance
that there was absolutely no danger
But as the distance from the earth
grew greater the colonel leaned out
anxiously.
Pull me in" he shouted.
The men who were battling out the
rope paid no heed to his demand.
Higher and higher went the balloon.
Wilder and wilder grew the colonel.
Finally. almost standing on his head
as he tried to keep a precarious bal
ance. he gave a final cry Of exas-
perated panic:
Pull me in. I tell you, or III cut
