Few Chances in China.

Several years ago the American con.
suls in China cautioned young men
and women in the United States
against going there with the hope Of
securing clerical or st~enographic en-
ployment. Inquiries are again being
received as to such openings and 1t Is
we'll to repeat the caution.
The custom of foreign firms here
Is to fill all important and well paid
positions with persons whom they
bring out under contract, so that q
person arriving without such docu-
ment stands little chance of securing
positions that pay living wages. Minor
situations are filled by clerks, stenog-
raphers and typists who live in Shang-
hal at salaries ranging from $25 to
SIS United States currency a month.
The cost of living here is not less than
in the United States and the eli.
mate is not uniformly suitable to
foreigners.

Marvin

With the closing Of the year
1911 Marvin has much to show
10 improvements. The condition
of its merchants financially must
be good, their business has been
good and sales have been for
cash. The elevators are doing
but little, very little grain com
ing to them, yet the Farmers
Grain and Mercantile Co, have
done quite a business IN corn
and fuel, and Mr.. X. A. Ramsey,
the manager, has been busy ali
fall with handling what grain
has been offered, and grinding
feed. The good crop Of bay IN
this section, and the raising Of
cattle and hogs by The farmers
has enabled them to get along in
good shape, aud the circulation
of the proceeds from the sales of
stock, have helped all business
around here. About thirty cars
of hay have been shipped east
and several west, With the loss
of the wheat crop the past sea
son, many thought there would
be hard times, but The conditions
prevailing at this time have
proved that prophecy unfoLnd-
ed. Our crop OF corn was good
and hundreds of loads were
bought IN the field and hauled
out by farmers from the old res
ervation, who paid spot cash and
who do not raise much corn.
Dol ars are rolling down toto
Marvin this eason the same as
usual. The merchants are car
rylng big STOCKS OF goods, ana
very little Of the farmers cash
goes to catalogue houses, and
there are good reasons why this
money stays at home: because
the chants are satisfied with
small profits, they make 1t "a
point to be friendly and show an
interest in the farmers affairs.
Marvin wants a drug store, a
doctor and d shoemaker. There
is a good profitable business
waiting for someone who will
take up these lines, also there is
a large amount Of good land own

Way to Remove Tattoo Marks,

Once taJtooed, always tattooed, was
formerly the rule: but a French army
surgeon, DR.. Tranchant, has discover
ed a method of removing tattoo
marks, whether made with India ink
or ~lampblack. According to La Ma
ture, the process consists of first rub
bing the skin until a thin layer of the
surface is worn away, then applying a
mixture of lime, Stacked just before
use, and powdered phosphorus. The
tattooed part having been coated with
this paste, a piece Of gauze Is laid
over it, covered with a bandage. The
dressing is removed after 48 hours.
The scab is allowed to dry in the air.

without leaving a scar. II any trace
of the tattooing then remains, the
treatment is repeated. DIR. Tranchant

liable. They offer a complete line OF
mems. women's and cnildren's cloth
ing. all new, flesh, spring stock, copied
after up-to-the-minute styles, and al

ment, it will be possible for even a
person I'm very moderate circumstances
to dress we'll and fashionably, and per-

However, it is not necessary to take
anybody's word for the' splendid bar
gains offered by the new store; all are
invited 10 see for themselves. The new
store proposes TO make good, and is
willing to be thoroughly inspected,
knowing that the fairness Of its propo-
sitions and the attractiveness Of its
goods will at once command the con-
fidence of customers.

Suddenly from a cloud floated a
snow-white bird, and lodging In a
tree nearby. began singing; so Won
derful was it's music that Felix closed
his book and listened spell-bound.
Presently. in a vision, he beheld the
land Elysian; heard the sound of the
angels feet as they walked the golden
street; as he stood listening to the
singing of the bird and looking upon
scenes indescribable, the bird darted
past him-vainly he tried TO catch it,
It foated on and on until II was out
Of sight. and just then the convent
bell rang for noon-day service. Slowly
and sadly he turned toward the con-
vent, following the old beaten path.
He reached the building. opened the
door and stood on the threshold a
stranger. The storm walls we're the
same. the spire the same, but the faces
within were new.
The friar spoke up and said, Forty
years have l been prior OF this con-
vent I'm the woods, but never before
today have / seen your face" Felix
was sad at heart he related how he
had that morning left the convent for
walk in the woods, and listening tc
the song Of a bird. the hours had
passed as swiftly as moments.
"The years. you mean," spoke up an
old Monk, sitting on a bench In The
corner of the room. 81 have beer
here one hundred years, and wher
/ came, as a novice, there was a younf
Monk. Felix, by name. who was noted
ly pious; one day he passed out the
convent door and has never since beer

records, and true enough, just as th'
old Monk had said, among the records
OF the dead was the mention OF one
Felix, who had passed out and wal
since then, one hundred years ago
dead to the convent.
Then Felix realized the meaning o
/ the words I'm the book he had read
SO great is the power Of immorta
