agencies must Join In some plan "a

believe that anthrax Ia becoming more
common, but that II Is becoming known
In the older days Il was known under
many titles, mainly vocational, such
as the fur mans disease.

The body of Miss Rosen has beer

MONEY FOR BAPTIST MISSIONS
Sum of $4,000 Must he Raised i'm
South Carolina i'm One Week.

~Greenvillc, April 30.-Greenville has
recently bcen the centre of the Wig
orOus and successful campaigns con-
Quoted by South Carolina Baptists. The
plan for the year, which closes Nav
5 is to raise $4,000 for general mis-
%sionary work in the South; and $57.-
600 for foreign missions. w. f. Will
kins, the secretary of the Baptist Law
mons Missionary movement for the
State, n T.. o. Lawton of this civ.
both of whom have been in close
touch with the plans and developments
over the State, report that South Car
DINA Baptists have now raised S2S.-
600 Of the $4,000 for home missions.
and $4,000 of the $4,000 for for
missions. For these two causes
South Carolina Baptists last wear
raised about 1913, 900 and one of their
effective slogans this year has been.
NO retrenchment in South Carolina
FOR missions"
Among Southern Baptists South
Carolina is n of the leading States
in missionary activity, SURPRISING in
former years q number of the larger
States. While $4,000 is a large
amount to be secured in the week re-
naming, the workers report excellent
over the State and speak
very hopefully of the outlook.

The Saloon Keepers Home.
Gas Bob Jones Sees IT,

The saloon keeper builds
his home out Of human hearts
and Uses life-bloOd for mortar.
The plastering on the walls is
made from the lining of hu-
man stomachs. In his shop of
hell he hardens human brains
out of which to make tile for
his bathroom. The carpet on
his floor is the Innings clipped
from the collins Of the dead
and woven into fabrics Of blood.
His window curtains are wild,
ows weeds colored by a demon
brush dipped into liquid fire.
His home is lighted by the
smile of a baby and the luster
OF a mothers eye, stolen by his
own hands from his neighbors'
homes. The flowers about his
place are roses of beauty pluck
ed from the cheeks Of the in
nocent. His pleasure fountains
are tears Of woe distilled in the
house of despair. The music
by which he dances is the wall
of the widow and the cry of
the orphan. ground by the hand
of the devil from hell's awful
organ and every demon keeps
step to the music"

SOMETHING OF A PUZZLE
Question Concerning Femininitv
Which Is Not At All Easy to
Answer.

From q feminine source comes a
question which is more easily an.
swered at first than at second thought
"a question, that is, which is not
quite as simple as it seems. 1t is this:
Does a woman wearing a veil see,
when she looks in a mirror, what an
other person sees who looks at hel
through her veil?
On consideration one realizes that
the yelled woman looks through her
veil at an image which is itself yelled
and therefore she apparently looks al
herself through two wells instead OF
the one which is all that dims to the
vision of the street observer. Their
there is the further fact that in a
mirror what was right becomes left
and vice versa, so that what one sees
there is not a picture of oneself but
of somebody who is like oneself only
as one of a pair of gloves is like the
other.
That, however, has nothing to dc
with the question as to the wells, anc
that is quite complicated enough tt
stand alone.

ALAS FOR DAYS OF ROMANCE
One by One the ~stronaholds of tho
Novelist Are Being Wrested
From Him.

One by one the ahodes Of romance
end mystery-likewise of discomfort
and harbarism-get progressive ana
pass away. The latest place to join
the procession appears to be Bangkok,
capital of Siam, and home of the
sacred white elephant.
Perhaps that elephant still trumpets
from the royal gardens, but he soon
will be transferred to a ZOO and be
come a spectacle instead of a holy
emblem. For Bangkok not only has
installed an electric power station, but
is using the surplus current OF day
light hours to run rice mills. In the
presence of that sort of efficiency
old-time sickens and dies.
Its loss is not without compensation,
to be sure. Electric fans, for example,
must be handy to a place like Bang
kok, whose average temperature
throughout the year is about 81 de-
grees Fahrenheit. But what knight
ever waited for an electric fan when
~rescuing his lady love from a mys-
terious zenana, and what fun is there
in raiding a sultan's treasure that is
guarded by commonplace burglar
alarms instead of by white cobras?
Alas and alack! Romance has depart
ed from Bangkok, and the geograph-
ical novelist is driven from n more
stronghold of the imagination.
