PLEASANT DAY FOR PRISONER!
Circumstances Seemed to Combine to
Make Unhappy Time for Vic
tim In Stocks.

A record on file in the library of the
United States congress contains an
account Of the adventures of a certain
Hubbard. who was sentenced in Bos-
ton to the stocks for having INDUCED
in an u~nwarrantable fit of ill temper.
When he had taken his seat for. the
day there came along a drove OF
swine, which seemed to cast upon him
those leering looks that only a fat pig
can bestow. A dog followed, shifting
at the prisoners feet and making
feints-unpleasantly approaching real.

mounting to the very top of the stocks
crowed his derision upon the victim
below, and presently a rough fellow,
after indulging in ugly taunts, threw
at him fetid toadstools and a dead
snake.
Then an Indian appeared, who, in
a drunken rage, stimulated by some
fancied injury, rushed at Hubbard
with a tomahawk, probably intending
nothing worse, however, than to give
him a v fright, which he Ger
tainly succeeded in doing.
Help came from an unexpected quar-.
ter, for at that moment an old bull
came tearing down the road. His at.
tention was attracted by the stocks
and with a roar he prepared for 8
charge.
Alarmed in his turn, the savage
darted off. The bull made a dash at
the stocks and carried away the cor,
ner post, but without e. grazing

SEVERAL NOTABLE WORKERS
WILL BE ON PROGRAM

Missionary Movement-Dr. Eubank,
Medical Missionary in China, to
speak-The Program.

Davenport, March 21-When the
Lawmen's Missionary convention takes
place in Davenport April /, and 8,
there will be an unusual array of men
who will speak at the. various sessions.
There will be some Of the most expert
enced and best posted men on the sub
ject of missions world wide who ever
gathered here. The subject will be dis
cussed both from the standpoint of the
missionary in the field and from the
standpoint of those in charge of the
! work in general.
George Heber Jones is a missionary
to Korea and is conversant with the
subject of missions in the far cast.
Rev Homer. c. Stuntz is secretary
of the Foreign Mission Board tef the
NJ. u. church and is acquainted with
the conditions relative ITO missions,
generally. He spent five years in
active missionary work in Indiat and
after the Spanish American war took
charge of the Methodist missions in
the Philippine Islands.
Bishop w. S, Lewis is now from
president of Epworth College, located
near Dubuque. He also is familiar with
missionary conditions.
| Rev. NJ. d. Eubank, NJ. D., is from
China, where he has been missionary
for some time. He has served as a
medical missionary in that country
since 1899. He was on a furIough IN
this country during 1907 and 1908, and
a little over a year ago spoke at Can
/ vary Baptist church in Davenport.
Eubank a Great Worker. !
| In the dispensary, in the Chinese
homes, on his tours thru the country,
everywhere, DR.. Bubank uses his medi-
cal work to open the door for the
preaching of the gospel of Christ. A
| touching incident is the story of Min
| Yang, boy who was treated at the
hospital for severe abscess on his
| arm. Thru his successful treatment,
all Of the neigbbers were led to have
a more favorable opinion of the doctor
and his mission, and the boys father
became willing that Min Yang should
| be baptized and trained as christian
J teacher. In this manner thru the work
of the missionary doctor, fear and
hatred are leaving hundreds of hearts
all over China.
