text under three heads. F'irst-Thc

and how? Thlrd-That there Is no
God He developed each theme un-
der the text eloquently. He explained
that the meaning of the term "foor'
as used In the text was not one of
unsound mind: but rather one who was
capable of grasping clear under

neglected to act along the lines which
he knew was right and best. An un-

me. Because of a severe storm, we
were forced to lay over there two days.
From there we came through a snow
storm to the Lockwood ranch near the
head of Bitter Root valley; thence to
Skalkaho and on to Corvallis, reach
ing there on Saturday evening. 1t was
soon noised abroad, and we had a
large audience on Sunday. William
Hall was pastor Of our church there
On the battlefield we found the bodies
of five citizens from the vicinity Of
Corvallis and Skalkaho, who had been
Killed In battle. They had been ex-
humed from the places where they had
been buried. Among them was Linn
Elliott, Campbell MITCHELL Mr.. Lock-
wood; also Mr.. Armstrong. 1t was
also true OF nearly all the soldiers
killed in the battle, their bodies had
been exhumed. A party was or
ganized immediat tely at Corvallis and
went up to the battlefield and brought
back the remains. When they re.
turned we held the funerals of the
five persons at once at Corvallis, as
these men We're all well known. About
all the settlers OF the Bitter Root val
ley attended this service. A detach-
ment of soldiers under Lieutenant Van
Arsdale went up Immediately, reburied
the soldiers and brought the remains
Of Captain Logan with, l think, two
others, back with them. These were
days when it took courage on the part
Of these early settlers to arise to the
great emergency that confronted them.

vessels around from the Atlantic Buck nam made a big hit with Mohammedans by neglecting to salute the French flag in Algerian waters. The Ottoman gov ernment had never recognized the trench occupation of Algeria and no Turkish ship had ever put into Algiers since the occupation.z
 A breakdown in his machinery late one evening off the Algerian coast obliged Bucknam to take refuge In the port of Algiers, which by careful timing he entered just before day break. Three times the French com mander sent out word that he was ready to return the Turkish salute BuclSnam's guns did not boom The port commander came to the conclu sion that the habitual worthlessness of Turkish warships extended to the guns of this vessel. But the Moham- medans came out in small boats by thu thousands to see and touch the ship of the one great free power still ruled by Islam's great caliph They kissed the ship, they crowded it's decks, they filled flasks from the sacred water. that washed it's sides and they prayed From far away in the interior faithful Mussulmans made a three days pill grimage by camel back. The excite ment became so great that the French authorities, fearing for the effect upon tripes Iurtner inland, forbade the na- tives from visiting the ship.
 When Abdul Hamid was oyerthroyn friends of Bucknam Pasha in this country were worried because no mention of him came in the dispatches, but his resoufces and his ability, they felt, would keen him going. A friend of his who was visit ing him while Bucknam was stationed on the island of Naos tells a character istic story
 We were sitting on the balcony of his house when in the moonlight we made out a boat containing three men sneaking through the shadows of the loading wharf. Bucknam watched them until he became convinced they were whisky smugglers. We went down to the wharf and he took off his shoes coat and hat.
 What are you going to do? I asked. I'm going to teach those fellows that l mean what l say when I forbid whisky on the island he replied
 Just as the boat got underneath us in the shadow Bucknam dropped over and landed right among its occupants. One he knocked overheard with his fist. Another got after him with paddle, but Bueknafn grabbed it and threw the man over the side. The third man he knocked endwise with his fist. Then he spent several min- utes showing first one and then another of them under the water as they tried. to catch hold of the boat When he thought they had had enough Bucknam rowed around to the landing stage, and, climbing out of the boat kicked it toward the smugglers
 1" Now you can go,' he told them, but don't let me catch you trying to smuggle whisky into Naos again. ''

NEW YEARS CALLS IN CHINA
Day Is Considered ns Birthday of Al
 the Inhabitants-Feast of Lanterns

Katharine G. Randall in Buffalo News.
 The fashion of paying New Years calls, now dying out with us, is still the custom in China, but as the women take no part in the social life, the men receive ani make the calls. Every Chinaman, except the lowest, receives visits from his interiors and calls upon those above him in station. In some cases 1t is sufficient to send a card, which is a strip Of scarlet paper with the name of the sender inscribed in black characters and sometimes good wishes are added.
 The streets are thronged with a gor- geously dressed crowd. The rich don their bright colored silks and satin and the poor, though in rags the rest of the year, hire or take out of pawn fine clothes for this occasion; if impossible to do this, they remain in their houses, entirely cut of sight.
 People meeting in the streets greet each other with the salutations, 1T hum bly wish you joy" May joy be yours , May your wealth increase" or May your hands obtain what your heart de- sires." Possibly our custom of saying Happy New Yea~," as we'll as paying New Year visits, comes from the Chin ese.
 | Presents are given to children and servants and rare fruits, fine tea, sweet meats, silks and ornaments are ex- changed between relatives and friends. Not only are calls made upon tie living but the temples are visited and rever- ence offered to the gods by lighted can- dies, incense and music.
 Though the Chinese eat no meat on that day, all partake of dumplings, which are to the Chinese what plum pudding is to the English. All food for. feasts is cooked the day before, as no cooking is done on New Years Day
 Believing that New Year. brings a fresh lease of life, the Chinese make as many resolutions as we do. They are careful to speak and write only words of good omen on New Years Day, and frequently begin their letters with Happiness" Long life," "Wealth,". etc.
 There is a superstition that to meet a fair woman on first going out on New Years Day Is an omen of good luck, but to meet plain woman is only one degree better than meeting a Bud dhist priest, who forb bodes the worst possible rsrtune.
 The exIS of fireworks and crackers; both on New Years Day and the day before and after is believed to frighten away the evil spirits and gongs. cymbals, etc, are beaten through out the day for the same pur- pose.
 New Years Day is considered the birthday of every peYora in China. Ja- pan and Corea. and though a child is born the previous day, he is considered year old and enters upon his second year on New Years Day.
 The New Year celebration reaches its height on the night of the Feast of Lanterns, whe en from every dwelling in the kingdom. whether marble palace or .l..-~I II1J A every size and shape are hung, and at the end of the feast there is grea pyrotechnic display, each one trying to outdo the year before in the magnifi- cence of the display, in the strange de- vices and brilliancy of the fireworks.
