TAPPING rebellion.
In the newspaper dispatches the
word general" has been placed In
quotation marks, and this gallant
commander has been alluded to as a
Soldier OF fortune" That be may
have been in one sense Is true, but In
the that he rendered a great
yet helpless country the most inesti.
mable Of services he Is entitled to
rank among the great commanders Of
his time.
Frederick Townsend Ward was
born In Salem. Mass., In 1881, He
became a ship broker in New York.
but appeared to begin his career Of
worldwide fame in Shanghai In 1860.
The TAPPING rebellion had broken out
and Ward went TO the government
with the proposition that II the gov.
eminent would give him $40, 900 he
would capture the town OF Sun
Kiang, near Shanghai, then held by
the rebels.
The money was promised, and In
q short time he gathered together a
miscellaneous band OF two hundred
foreigners and with them went out
and overthrow Ave thousand rebels.
He received his 10000 and was
made a mandarin OF t's fourth class.
Ward was at first d~istrusted by
the British officers in command OF
Shanghai, but finally was permitted
TO cooperate with them and through
his energy succeeded In clearing up
the country for 10 miles or more
around tho city.
He disappeared completely from
sight for a time, and turned up again
at the head of three Chinese regi.
mentS. He took tho field again, his
army was augmented from day to day,
and he o a succession Of victories
which made him a mandarin OF the
first class, and gave him the remark.
able title Of admiral general"-the
highest the grateful Chinese could be.
stow on him.
The civil war had them broken out
in the United States. and Ward Is re.
ported to have offered Secretary Bur.
linEame $4,000 for the Union cause,
and to have prepared to start home.
But he was shot in 1869, and ire Chin
csc not only built a monument over
his grave, but memoriaIised In stone
the scenes Of several Of his victories
Probably because Of his intention tc
come to the United States he had
converted his fortune, whatever II
was, into drafts and negotiable secur,
tiles. They were on his person when
he was killed. and are supposed tc
have been stolen by an Englishman
However that may be, his family *
the United States-he had married q
Chinese wife, but had no children
never received a copper for his 'serv
Ices.
The army which Ward had created
was then taken by Chinese Gordon
who, after several years Of Fighting,
put down the rebellion and achieved
International fame. 1t was Gordon who
reaped the glory, but Ward who laid
the foundation.
When this Boxer indemnity was paid
the United States by the Chinese
government many claims besides
those strictly a%pertaining to the Box
or uprising were included in the
awards. Among them was this 1884,
900 for the heirs of General Freder
tick Townsend Ward.

PUT YOUR MONEY IN A BANK,

1t is good advice which a ColIetoa
county, S. e., exchange gives in urging
farmers tostart bank accounts this yesf,
no matter how small the amount loft
over after the years debts are paid;
"lf one keeps money in his pocket, M
is likely to 60 aud he will never know
how it goes; 50, though you had MY tea
dollars in your pocket, go to one 81
your banks and start a bunk account
To have money in a bank will give Que
a feeling Of independence nothing else
a give. Do not think that because
you have only five or ten dollars to
start an account the cashier will not
want your deposit. Any cashier will
gladly welcome You as a depusitor 4
you have bat one dollar"
We hope thousands of our readers will
follow this exc, llent counsel. Having
a bank account 81 encourages. the say
ing habit, ~ dignihes tho farmer b
making him more Of a business man, ~
provides a better system Of paying out
money than specie payments, (4) helps
the community in which one lives, and
(5) makes it easier for the depositor 70
in case borrowing instead Of do
posting sometimes become advisable.
Put your money Ia a hank.

BOTH MUFF AND BAG
DRESS ACCESSORY NOW PUT TO
PRACTICAL USE.
knieknaeks May Be Slowed Away In
the capaelous lnterIor-AII Klnds
Of Fur Have the Approval
Of Fashion.

II the new muffs are bigger than
ever. their size Is at least OF ZONE
practical use. Some clever designer
saw the possibilities for slowing away
things In the capacious depths OF the
great sections Of fur, and now the
mun bag is evolved. This Is very diff.
ferent from the fur handbag that
made its appearance a few weeks ago.
1t is a handbag and It is made OF fur,
for primarily It is a real muff. The
difference between this and the ordi-
nary big muff Is that the opening
through which the two hands are
thrust are very small and very near
the top. The sides are closed as well
as the bottom, and down in the bag
cavity 30 provided all the knicknacks
OF the handbag may be tucked away
and more, In fact, for only the ex-
treme bags such as few women are
to carry would hold so much.
One of the new nun bags is Of err
mine made with a narrow top with
openings placed diagonally and Just
big enough to admit the hands. Be-
low the bag sweIls out with rounded
sides to imposing proportions. The
front Is covered with a full apron"
Of heavy gold embroidery or net.
Another muff of this type is part OF
a moleskin set. The skins are excep-
~tionally soft and well matched. The
muff Is a big square affair carried
with one corner at thestop and n
hanging down In a point, which Is I'm
ished with a tassel. OF course. this
leaves two Of the sides Of the square
to form a closed pocket, while even
the other two sides are sewed part
way. The scarf is straight and square
In the front, but in back has a deep
point. tagseled, to correspond with the
muff.
Handsome molesklns are also used
In a set consisting Of coat and hat.
There Is not a particle OF trimming on
the coat. even the huge buttons being
covered with the fur. The hat, n
small round turban, has a band Of
dark blue velvet almost hidden under
heavy silver bullion embroidery.
