COURSE
IS SATISFACTORY

The last number on the lecture course
given by the Epworth League, was the
attraction last Friday evening ct the
Methodist church, when Arthur j.
Fischer presented the comedy "A Pair
of Spectacl.s." The house was fairly
well filed and the audience showed ap-
probation.
Mr.. Fischer is young man OF more
than ordinary ability, impersonatiug the
characters of the play without the aid
OF make up or costumes. The play it.
self is a moral lesson and should teach
US to try the rosy spectacles first, or
should we by mischance put on the
smoky kind, our sight is all the brighter
and better for the peep that we. get
through the pessimist's eyes.
The lecture course has been success
full in every way, giving good numbers
and netting the League a snug little
sum for their treasury.

MADE TARGETS FOR ENEMY
Chinese Soldiers in Battle of Ping
Yang All Opened ParasoIs When
II Rained.

No one who has studied the military
methods of China will be surprised
to learn that shells" of painted wood
have been picked up in the German
concession at Hankow. This is truly
Chinese. Not so very long ago each
soldier was supplied with an oilcloth
parasol, and fan which he tucked
up his sleeve. During the battle OF
Ping Yang, when the rain came on.
the parasols were opened and the
enemy found the men easy targets, es-
pecially as each one wore a large
white disk bearing the number of his
regiment on his breast and back.
At the arsenal at Nankin IL was
once decided to shorten a Krupp can
non which had arrived there because
Il was too long, and to make solid
shells" which would not burst. Green
sprouts were also seen on the logs
from which gun stocks were to be
made. But the 'limit," as one may
say. was reached at Hankow when an
Austrian warship entered the port and
saluted the fort. The Chinese at
tempted to return the courtesy, but
stopped short after five or six dis
charges. AS the Chinese commander
afterward explained, when the third
artilleryman had been killed we de
cided to stop firing"

How Alice Nielsen Reproved His Maj

first flush of It's great popularity.
With the composer at the piano, the
first stanza went with no strange or
unusual occurrence, but while Tosti
was playing the soft interlude to the
second stanza, the king turned to one
of his party with some remark, and
his sonorous bass sounded out sharply
through the room against the soft
harp-like chords of the piano.
With exquisite daring, Miss Nielsen
looked straight at his majesty and be-
gan the line: "Hush-then an omi-
nous pause tits a voice!" BY this
time the royal listener was all atten-
ton and looking straight into a pair
Of eyes dancing with Unsurpassed
merriment. There was a moment of
suspense, when the king saved the

True Honesty

ITO be honest is more than to re-
frain from stealing another mans
purse, more than paying the exact
number of dollars you owe. Honesty
means far more than not defrauding
other people financially. 1t means
nothing less than not defrauding your
self by your own prejudices and judy
ments. It means dealing fairly and
sQuarely with yourself; looking at
yourself with the same eyes with
which you dissect the conduct of your
associates. Clara X. Bayliss.

USEFUL FOR
ALL READERS
Some Say It's Worth Its
Weight in Gold.

What is It?
What do you suppose it IS?
There are many useful things, but
not many Of them are worth their
weight in gold.
This is not intended to be a
guessing contest" so you are to
be given the answer at once.
The one thing known to be useful
to every family Is the new kind OF
Bible which the EVENING NEWS Is
presenting to its readers on the
popular plan explained in the certifi-
cate printed elsewhere in this issue.
The reason for calling It n new
kind" is because It is entirely differ
ent from others in that something
like six hundred "eye-teaching' pic
lures adorn It's pages. These pictures
have been made alone for this great
work. They cost more than 100000
and the publishers brought togeth-
er the worlds greatest artists for tne
purpose. Each picture brings out a
point in the particular verse illus
trated and makes it plain to the
reader.
This explains why It is so useful.
Some Bibles are said to be illus
trated" when they contain only a few
meaningless pictures. But the illus
trations in the EVENING NEWS
Bible are printed in with the type
and accompany the subject illustrat-
ed. In addition to these text illus
trations there are numerous full
page color plates from the world
famous Tissot collection making this
in all a useful gallery of art OF the
rarest educational valUe of the
body.
A reader who got It the other
day saws it IS worth It's weight IN
gold. Praises come from ali sources
and everybody that sees 1t is pleased
with It. Yon ian have it if you clip

fections explained therein.
