played on wheezy foot-pumped
organs, discordant pianos,
squeaky vioIins and hesitating
comets, but the tune and the
words have ever deeply impressed
those who sang. And few have
ever known the name and who
wrote it.
Edgar Page Sites used only
his first two names when he pub
lished the verses. He has lived in
modest retirement practically un-i
known, although he might visit
any church in the world where
the hymn has been sung, and be,
welcomed as the author.
Sites is now Is years old. He
stands over six feet tall and is as
straight as a pine tree. His kind
ly smile is almost hidden by a
rough beard and mustache, but
his eyes glow with tenderness.
1t was in 1876 that l wrote the
Beulah Land song" says Sites.
"How did l come to write it?
Only sincere Christians will un-
derstand. When I had finished
two stanzas and the chorus l was
overcome and fell on my face,
weeping. That was on Sunday.
The next week l wrote the last
two stanzas, and again / was so
influenced by the words of the
song, given to me by divine in
spiration, that fell to the ground
again, and could only weep and
pray.

Boston, found a prolific tree growing
In the woods and transplanted II TO

Revolutionary war. Years afterward
Samuel Thompson. a revolutionary
veteran. came across the tree while on
surveying expedition. At that time
1t had been made the home Of a family
OF woodpeckers and the birds had
pecked row of holes around it. For
Tat reason Colonel Thompson often
referred to It as the pecker tree. He
carried some OF the fruit home, and
the members of his family were so
pleased with the apples that ne visited

clay, is in Los Angeles. His idea In
starting the club, which was to bring
little more radiance into the life OF
men past three-score years and ten,
was an innovation and has been
copied in many places.
Mr.. Barclay is living with his sister
at the Pierce apartments for a few
weeks, and already he has stirred up
sufficient interest among men OF Los
Angeles to start one of the unique
clubs in which none but those more
than seventy may belong. He is not,
himself, an dyed man, but young one
who took his tip from the converse
lions of men around the stoves Of the
grocery stores, in the little shops and
wherever they congregated. These
men were interesting because often
times they threw new light on sub
jects of history, on the lives OF IA
nous men or on old celebrities Of a
local character" said Mr.. Barclay
"As a rule they seemed to have nc
place to go and were seldom welcome
to the places they went. 1t gave me
the idea that II l could find them g
place to meet. give them an oppor
tunity of getting together among
themselves. they might be made hap

The men sit and listen almost In awe

From this device the Chicago His

making imperishable the speeches Of
some of the noted persons Of tat

States, Is Welcomed.
Three Times Representative Of ceIes-
tIals Arrives at Washington and
Is Gladly Received by ALTO
Be Called Ambassador.

Washington. - The appointment OF
DR.. WI Ting Fang. as minister
to the United States from the
new republic Of China is a matter
Of satisfaction and interest TO Wash
ington. Doctor WI has twice be-
fore this represented his govern
ment In the American capital, and Is
probably the bestknown Chinaman in
this country. While there is no ON
cial authority for the statement. 1t Is
limited that the post In Washington
will be made an embassy instead OF
a legation IN the near future. Doctor
WI will then be promoted from minis
ter to ambassador.
Before the recent change Of govern
ment in the Flowery Kingdom a new
minister had been appointed to sue
coed Mr.. Chang Yin Tang, the incum-
bent. but owing to the exigencies OF
politics, the transfer was delayed I'M
til 1t was decided that Doctor WI was
the logical man for the place. On his
last visit to Washington he announced
that he would return again, as he In
tended to live far beyond the century
mark
During one of his former so1ourns
In Washington he became interested
in the work of Mrs. Henderson. wife
Of former Senator John B. Henderson
of Missouri, and with her promulgated
the doctrine of vegetarianism and to-
tai abstinence from alcoholic liquors.
He insists that by living on a diet
which he describes for himself any
one may live to any age he desires.
When Doctor WI was last in Wash
ington he was as curious and active
as at any time, but signs OF age had
appeared in his slightly bent figure
and especially in the gray hair which
formed good share Of his queue. A
gray-haired Chinaman is not com
mon sight in this country. This may
be because emigration is confined tc
the young. or If gray hair does not
flourish In the Orient. It may be thai
Doctor WI has made this concession
to the newer civilization. But old oil
young Washington stands ready tc
welcome the great questioner.
