New Book On The White Slave
Traffic.

Dr. @. Edward Janney, Chairman
OF the National Vigilance Committee,
has written book, which has just
been published, entitled "The White
Slave Traffic lin America" dealing
with his subject in a sane, accurate
and interesting manner.
There are multiludes Of parents,
teachers and other persons having
charge of young people, who are IN
aware OF the dangers that threaten
young women through the adroit
agents Of this traffic. There are al
90 many others who III they knew
and understood the facts would offer
moral and financial support to a
movement to prevent the moral and
economic loss which the country now
sustains through the operations of
the white slave traficker.
DIR. Janney's book may be obtained
from The National Vigilance Commit
tee, 1856 Fifth Avenue, N. ", for one
dollar, postpaid. Tie states that it
was written that the innocent may be
protected, the ignorant enlightened
the foolish and reckless warned, the
weak safeguarded, the wicked and
designing thwarted, and the traffic
suppressed.

CHINESE FAMINE.
Pitfful Stories OF StarVat1On-NOVe1
Plans for Relief.

Tit will doubtless surprise Americans
to learn that In many OF the interior
cities of China are civic Improvement
associations whose objects are similar
to those OF such organizations in this
country. The most enlightened and
public spirited Chinese are banded
together in those associations Tor the
purpose Oh promoting education, Sani-
tation, and other forms ct political
corruption. All OF which sounds Ia
miliar to American ears
For the first time these organize
tions OF the Chinese 'tbest people" are
to be actively enlisted in carrying out
the famine relief measures planned
by the relief committee at Shanghai
This 10 OF especial interest in the
United States because the relief funds
now being raised by the Red Cross
will be distributed through the
Shanghai Committee. The famine re
lief fund will be largely used i'm en-
ploying the famine sufferers TO re-
construct their own dykes and roads
which have. been destroyed by Hoods.
Thus the idle and despairing people
will be enabled to earn living while
waiting for another harvest and will
at the same time be helping to re
store their country to normal condit-
ions. One OF the most serious prob
lens i'm relief operations attending
other famines Aas been the pauperiz-
ing effort upon the population OF re-
ceiving support during prolonged
periods of idleness. The plan now
to be adopted promises to reduces this
demoralizlng result. Mr. O. I'D. jam
erson, the American Red Cross en-
gineer who has recently travelled ex-
tensively through the districts which
have suffered much from famines in
late years, reports that the people,
finding crops usually failure and re-
lief certain, show natural inclination
to abandon their lands and turn to
beggary. This tendency it II hoped
now to check by means of system
or relief based upon honest work.
The present unsettled political con-
ditions in China make it impossible
for the Chinese Government to con-
tribute literally to the relief funds.
For this reason ii becomes the more
imperative that the United States, al
ways China's friend, shall respond to
the need generously. Famine condit-
ions are 50 desperate that any des-
cription of them seems almost incred-
ible. Mr.. Jameson writes OF process
sions of gaunt, starving people wand
ering aimlessly along the roads, fall
Ing and dying i'm the mud when they
can 20 no further. Day after day he
passes dead bodies OF men, women
and children lying where they had
fallen. And the famine must con-
tinue until summer before new crops
can be harvested. Nearly 100000
persons live i'm these famine districts,
which cover thousands Of square
miles.
The Shanghai Relief Committee has
asked the United States to raise re-
lief fund of ST. 100000 and the Ameri-
can Red Cross is endeavoring to do
all possible to meet the need. Contri-
buttons for this purpose sent to the
Red Cross i'm Washington or to the
officers of Red Cross Chapters o.
State Boards will be cabled to China
without unnecessary delays

Oft when his labor was finished,
with eager feet would the dreamer
Follow the pathway that ran through
the woods TO the house of Pris-
ella,
Led by illusions romantic and subtitle
receptions of fancy,
Pleasure disguised as duty, and love
in the semblance of friendship.
Ever of her he thought when he fash
toned the walls of his dwelling;
Ever OF her he thought, when he
delved in the soil of his garden;
Ever of her he thought, when he read
in his Bible on Sunday
Praise of the virtuous woman, as she
is described in the Proverbs,-
How the heart of her husband doth
safely trust in her always,
How all the days of her life she will
do him good, and not evil,
How she seeketh the wool and the
fax and worketh with gladness,
How she layeth her hand TO the spin
die and holdeth the distaf,
How she is not afraid OF the snow fol
herself or her household,
Knowing her household are clothed
with the scarlet cloth of hel

Here the light foot on the treadle
grew swifter and swifter; the
spindle
Uttered an angry snarl, and the thread
snapped short In her fingers;
While the impetuous speaker, not
needing the mischief, continued:
You are the beautiful Bertha, the
spinner, the queen OF Helvetia;
She whose story read at stall in
the streets Of Southampton,
Who; as she rode on her palfrey, DER

breathless messenger entered,
Bringing In hurry and heat the ter
rible news from the village.
Yes; Miles Standish was dead AN
Indian had brought them the It'd
Slain by a poisoned arrow, shot down
in the front of the battle,
Into an ambush beguiled. cut of with
the whole of his forces;
All the town would be burned, and all
the people be murdered!
Such were the tidings of evil that
burst on the hearts OF the hear
ers.
silent and statue-like stood Priscilla,
her face looking backward
Still at the face Of the speaker, her
arms uplifted in horror;
But John Alden, upstarting, as II the
barb OF the arrow
Piercing the heart of his friend had
struck his Own. and had sundered
Once and forever the bonds that held
him bound as a captive.
Wild with excess of sensation, tho
awful delight Of his freedom.
Mingled with pain and regret, uncon-
scious of what he was doing,
Clasped, almost with a groan, the
motionless form of Priscilla,
Pressing her close TO his heart, as for
ever his own, and exclaiming:
Those whom the Lord hath united,
let no man put them asunder!"
Even as rivulets twain, from distant
and separate sources,
Seeing each other afar, as they leap
from the rocks, and pursuing
each one its devious path but draw
ing nearer and nearer
Rush together at last, at their tryst-
ing-placec in the forest;
So these lives that had run thus far
in separate channels,
Coming in sight of each other, then
swerving and flowing asunder,
Parted by barriers strong, but draw
ing nearer and nearer
Rushed together at last, and one was

one with the blessing of heaven.
Simple and brief was the wedding as
that Of Ruth and OF Boaz.
Softly the youth and the maiden re-
peated the words OF betrothal,
Taking each other for husband and
wife In the Magistrates presence,
After the Puritan way, and the laud-

cellent Elder OF Plymouth
Prayed for the hearth and the home,

Why does the bride turn pale, and
hide her face on his shoulder?

spectral illusion?
Is II a ghost from the grave, that has
come to forbid the betrothal?

passed at times an expression
Softening the gloom and revealing the
warm heart hidden beneath them,
AS when across the SKY the driving
rack of the rain-cloud
Grows for moment thin, and be-
trays the sun by its brightness.
Once it had lifted its hand, and moved
it's lips. but was silent,
AS if an iron will had mastered the
feeting intention.
But when were ended the troth and
