JAP CABINET IN
SECRET CONcLAvE
MAY BE PREPARING To TAKE
ACTION IN CHINESE
CRISIS.

TOXIC, Dec. 25.--Members Of the
Japanese cabinet met late last night
with several of the elder statesmen
and Prince katsura, the former
premier. There is considerable mys-
terry surrounding the object of the
meeting The greatest secrecy was
observed and nothing was given out
Tor publication. IT Is believed, how
ever, that the latest developments in
the Chinese situation were discussed
and that the elder statesmen were
asked to attend the meeting in order
to give their advice. 1t seems to be
the opinion that a Republican form
of government for China is inevitable,
and the feeling is general that the
only solution of the present problem
lies In the government yielding to the
demands of the republicans.

County auditor, Charles +. Allen

be especially careful to instruct as
SCISSORS regarding certain sections of
the Ohio tax law. These sections re-
fer to the fact that all persons who
have been evading taxation need
have no fear of making full and
proper return of personal property
this year, as the fact that they in
creased this years returns will not
be taken to mean that they have
been evading and no effort will be
made to collect penalty for max
ing improper returns for the last
five years or more. a law recently
adopted. relieves taxpayers from
suspicion ana liability.
In discussing the matter this morn
ing Mr.. Allen stated that he had
talked with several assessors and
without an exception all are receiving
Increased personal property returns.
i'm some cases the returns being
double that of last year. The coun-
ty auditor believes this is a good
sign and that the returns this year
will be much greater than they have
ever been before FOR the simple
reason that business men, profession
al men, ministers. and men In all
lines of Human endeavor are preach
ing the doctrine of making honest

VICARIOUS SUFFERING.

In the rotunda of the COMPRESSION
al Library in Washington is inscrib-
ed among others the following mot
to: eve taste the spices of Arabia,
and never feel the scorching sun that
brings them forth" 1t is so-we fall
heir to the precious fruit of human
lives brought forth in labor and an
guish; and we enjoy the fragrance
distilled in human hearts by burning
rays and crushed out by mereiless
wheels. We enter in upon the
achievements of others, little realiz-
ing what was the first cost. We owe
much to one another. At every turn
we find ourselves the beneficiaries of
that for which we never toiled or suf-
fered, and which yet could not have
come without toll or suffering.
But especially is that true of our
redemption in Christ Jesus, the re-
mission of our sins and eternal life,
for which we never labored, and
which our labor could never have
purchased. For it is Gods free gift,
and must humbly be, accepted as
such, and can be had in no other
way. ''The wages of sin is death, but
the free gift of God is eternal life
through Christ Jesus our Lord; that
is, undeserved, a present of God to
those who accept it without reference
to their previous work. For by
grace have We been saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves, IL
is the gift of God; not of works, that
no man should glory" (Eph. 2:S, 9. }

A TRUE WORD TO YOUNG MES.

Most young men are weakened by
publicity. by too much social fellow
ship. They never have any time
alone. In the morning they dress
az rapidly as they can and then rush
out into the work OF the day. When
business comes, they hurry with the
crowd to seek excitement. In the
evening they come in late and drop
into bed. There has been not one
hour In the day when they could sit
down and be calm and think OF God
and duty and let their souls rest and
grow strong and brave. Doubtless,
there are many young men who are
too much alone, who brood over
themselves and whose need Is less
meditation and more society. But
these are the rarer men. The aver
age young man runs with the crowd,
and his life shadows out more and
more until the bottom begins to show
through; and the power, the beauty,
the freshness. the capacity for varied
use are all gone. Men ought to stop
now and then and think. II John
the Baptist had not been three years
In the wilderness he would probably
never have burst On Israel with a
prophetic message Of such power and
persuasion as he uttered when he
came. One of Hugh Beavers favor
tie quotations was:
"If chosen men had never been alone,
In deep mid-silence open-doored to
God,
No greatness ever had been dreamed
or done"

Men.

HOW ALAN WENT TO SLEEP
By Frances Margaret Cox.
"a Redtime StorvN

When Alan was coming home from
school not long ago, he fell on the
sidewalk and skinned his knee.
After supepr he told the family
about his knee and then looked at it
for the first time. There was a skin
ned place as large as a half-dollar.
and all around it was a swelled red
circle.
1t is one thing to be hurt and keep
from making fuss about it like a
little girl. and quite another to be
able to go to sleep as usual. Alan
said he was sure that he would never
go to sleep because of the pain in
his knee. He closed his eyes and
counted by twos and by fours and
by fves; he watched sheep going.
one by one, through a hole in the
fence-but nothing worked.
At last Alan's auntie thought of
something new. 81 suppose" she
suggested, that the forty-niners
