The premier of the Great empire
ot China is a virtua. prisoner in
Picking, lie target OF the bitter
hatred and deep suspicious of the
present Dowager-Empress and the
Manchu princes. His very life is
in danger every waking and Sleep
ing moment. He sleeps and eats
but little. He goes about UNI
shaved.
Who or what has put him where
he is? His own, well-nigh miracu-
lous shrewdness, nothing else. Thus
the world at large is given a fine
chance of seeing what human cum
ming, and that its widest, amounts
to in the eternal scheme of things.
What is the meaning of it all? 1t
is an old, old story and simple as a,
b, C 80 the old is passing away and
new is coming into its own. The
fall or rise of Yuan Shih-kai or of
any other individual means but
little. Even the rise or passing
away of nation usually finds its
mausoleum within a few pages of
history. 1t is the passing of an
ideal that is so pregnant with sig
nificance. In China today the old
ideal of mandarin-the peerless
master of the gentle art of squeeze
the moss-grown ideal of states
manship represented by Ii Hung
chang and by his even ADLER pupil
Yuan, who Quilted Ii, is passing
away. 1t means that the ideal of
government represented by the
Manchu and the Forbidden City is
obsolete now; to be labeled quite
out of tune with the times, that
Yuan Shih-kai or one million Yuan
Shih-kais can no longer command
the sun of Manchu absolutism to
stand still upon the far Eastern
hills. The Shanghai Republic and
DR.. Suns Marking may or may not
endure. But that the new China is
here that much is as apparent as
are the heavens and the earth.-

10 Eroyo j. ri. Egya..la Dead
On January 14th, 1905. J. r.
Reynolds, a popular young Paris
attorney a Iaw partner at the time
Of Col. r. NJ Hodine, took the train
for Jefferson City. where he had
legal business, and was never heard
of afterwards. Investigation into
affairs followed Immediately and
revealed various breaches of trust,
forged notes, debts and defalcations
amounting to perhaps $500. The
story is too well known and too
painful to those who loved him to
re-tell. He was indicted but all eff
forts to locate him failed, no word
being received even by the young
wife and two little children left be-
hind. Various rumors as to him
being seen here and there were Cir
culated from time to time and
that he died in the insane asylum
at Jacksonville. ILL.,, under an as
sumed name being the post credi-
BILE, but the mystery has remained
unsolved. Among the creditors of
Reynolds was P. G. Mari, with
whom, to secure a loan of $3.50, he
hypothecated life insurance policy
for $1,000 issued by the Phoenix
Mutual. The statutes provide that
in such cases seven years absence
from home shall be considered proof
of death requiring payment of poll
cy, and that time having elapsed
Col. Mari has brought formal pro-
ceedings in the probate court. The
hearing will be before Judge Barnes
on March End and that amount of
the policy remaining after the $3.50
and accrued interest have been paid
will 90 to the wife and children of
the missing man. The burden of
proving Reynolds alive rests on the
insurance company. Whether it
will pay the policy without a con-
test or try, as in the celebrated
Kimmel case, to turn up the miss
ing man remains to be seen. Init
mate friends are confident that
Reynolds died at Jacksonville after
having been picked up as a de-
mented stranger in northern ILL
nois county.-Paris Mercury.

Canned Fruits.

That the United States is becom-
ing nation of canned fruit eaters
is the statement of an authority,
who calls to the attention of the
public the increased consumption
of goods of this kind. The proper
ton of people afraid to eat canned
goods grows less each year, with
the advancement of canning science
and enlightenment of housekeepers
as to the valuable use Of this varie-
ty of food. When only ten per cent
of houSekeepers in the United
States have but a limited knowl-
edge how to prepare canned goods
other than simply "stewing," one re-
allies what large field is open for
teaching this class the wide posi-
bilities for palatable meals from
canned vegetables, meats, fish and
fruit.
The salads that can be concocted
with canned goods are almost limit
less. With DINER a simple fresh
salad is to be preferred, and lettuce
and cabbage can be secured during
the winter in nearly all places.
Where not a vestige of fresh vege-
table is possible, however, a simple
string bean, spinach or beet salad
may be served in place of a fruit
mixture, which should be properly
reserved for luncheon. The pud-
ding may be batter variety com.
bined with canned fruit, or spiced
plum pudding is unusually good
Even the custard sauce may be pur.
chased in cans, or a homemade
hard sauce used.-"What May be

Dissatisfied.


The city man worked hard all day
In hope of future joy,
He dreamed about the rustic way
He trod when but boy.
Sometime" he said, I'll take my
ease
Among the flowers and the trees,
And leave the Garish lights that
blind
The weary townsman far behind,
The countryman exclaimed, I'll
make
A fortune from the farm;
And then my pile Of coin I'll take
And learn the city's charm.
I'll have steam heat and fancy fare
And travel swiftly everywhere,
The old shack and the weary grind
Forever | will leave behind.
The artist strives, mid dreams of
gold,
To clutch the rich mans prize;
The rich man struggles to behold
Life through the artists eyes,
And so we keep, with strange un-
rest,
The envious and eternal quest,
DESTROYS of another'S state,
Which he cannot appreciate.

the few brief weeks of summer
boarding, when he plays at doing

garden. plays at following the plow,
but the all-the-year-round tussle
with weather and work, yes, and
schooling in the little far-away dis

nothing else in life can make up for
the kind; a blessing which gives
him such a supply of strength and

ter's second term in the White House. 1t was IN
1872 that Mr.. Morton conceived the idea Of this
unique holiday and he forthwith introduced be-
fore the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, OF
which he was a member, a resolution setting
apart April 10 of that year as tree planting day.
The legislature finally adopted the resolution
as proposed by Mr.. Morton, although some OF
his colleagues thought that Sylvan Day" would
be better title for the newlycreated festival.
and there is portion of the public that inclnes
to this belief today The new scheme proved an
emphatic success and more than one million
trees were planted throughout Nebraska on that
first Arbor Day. Not only the children of
the public schools interested from the outset but
individuals and local societies of various kinds
participated This was due in part, no doubt, to
the fact that the Nebraska State Board of Agri-
culture which created the holiday, offered prize
of hundred dollars to the agricultural society
of that county which planted properly the largest
number of trees, and provided a farm library
and purse of twenty-five dollars for the person
who planted the largest number of trees.
The next year Arbor Day was observed through
out Nebraska with increasing enthusiasm and IN
1874 the governor, by official proclamation desig-
mated the second Wednesday of April as Arbor
Day for Nebraska. In 1885, when the legislature
of the state formally designated Arbor Day as a
holiday the date was changed to April %. If Ne
braska can be taken example, the influence
of Arbor Day is certainly most beneficial and the
only pity is that other states could not have
placed the holiday their official calendars as
early as did Nebraska. Statistics show that In
a period of sixteen years following the date on
which Farmer Morton secured the adoption OF
the Arbor Day project total Of three hundred
and fifty million trees and vines were planted in
Nebraska as the direct outcome of this move
ment.
The first states to follow the example of Ne
braska in adopting Arbor Day were Michigan and
